Thank you, Lisa. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us. In Q2, ReWalk has continued to make progress on our key strategic objectives. I'd like to outline the status of each, provide some background and Ori will then provide our financial results. Our ongoing and primary objectives for the quarter were, one, financial management of the business; two, securing reimbursement coverage to drive the business; three, expansion to a second major product group with the ReStore system; four, geographic expansion to China. First, financial management includes sales growth, expense management and capital for operations. During the second quarter, we placed 21 ReWalk units, generating total revenue of $1.8 million, up sequentially from the prior quarter. Our guidance for the year is now expected to be at the lower end of the range of $9 to $11 million. Anticipated year-over-year growth is driven by the expanding coverage and access we have seen in Q2. Our expense management efforts in Q1 are starting to be realized and will be reflected in the second half of the year. With respect to our plans to enter China and regarding our plans to augment our capital requirements, we are working to complete our transaction with Timwell to explore ways to reduce our debt and are examining pathways for additional capital. With expanding insurance coverage with ReWalk, the addition of a major new product line in 2019 with ReStore, careful expense management and sufficient capital, we are now solidifying a path to breakeven operations. Second, regarding reimbursement, the definitive result in Q2, with the expansion of coverage via the broader access with the VA based on our efforts over the past 18 months and the establishment of our coverage code in Germany based on our efforts over the past three years, each of these…

Thanks, Larry. Q2 revenue was $1.8 million, up sequentially from $1.6 million in Q1. This reflects placements of 21 units – 13 units were placed in the US and 8 were in our direct markets in Europe. During the quarter, we had 8 new rent-to-purchase units placed and 8 previously rented units convert to a purchase. We currently have 21 open trials in the pipeline, including 11 active rentals and 10 claims that have completed the trial period and are awaiting a final insurance decision. The present conversion rate is approximately 60% globally and we expect it to reach 70% to 80% as we scale up the rent-to-purchase model. As of the end of the second quarter of 2018, we had 250 pending insurance claims relating to coverage for ReWalk, compared to 217 at the same time last year, reflecting an increase of 33 claims. This represents approximately $18 million in potential revenue. Gross margin was 43% during the second quarter of 2018 compared to 37% in the prior-year quarter. This increase is driven by sales mix and lower product costs, reflecting our commitment to improve our margin. Total operating expenses for the quarter slightly decreased to $6 million compared to $6.1 million in the prior-year quarter. The current operating expenses include costs related to our market development efforts in China of $385,000. We remain committed to reducing our year-over-year ongoing operating expenses by up to 10%. Net loss for the second quarter was $5.8 million compared to a net loss of $6.3 million in the second quarter of 2017. Our non-GAAP net loss was $4.7 million during the second quarter of 2018 compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $4.9 million in the prior-year quarter. We ended the quarter with $9.1 million in cash. With that, I'd like to open the call for questions. Operator, please go ahead with the instructions.

Thank you. [Operator Instructions]. Our first question comes from Steven Lichtman with Oppenheimer. Your line is now open.

Hi, Larry and Ori. This is Jiang [ph] for Steve. You updated guidance points to – your updated guidance points to the lower end of the range. And it does imply a better second half than first half. On the call, you mentioned a couple of the drivers for that better second half. One is the expansion of coverage with VA; and second one, the establishment of coverage code in Germany. So, could you provide some more comments around that, what you're seeing as to the implementation of the revised VA policy as well as the reimbursement in Germany? And also, the second part of the question, with regards to the updated guidance, you said in the press release, depending on timing of reimbursement coverage, could you just clarify what you're referring you to by that? Thanks.

Thank you, Jiang. I think Ori and I can both comment. Broadly, the coverage in Germany is the one I'd cover first because it occurred first, so we have a little more runway on that. What we have seen is a significant change in the process of acceptance of appeals because there's defined processes. As I mentioned, we'd seen 13 in just the few weeks this has been done compared to six months and a longer period prior year. We also anticipate being able to take many prior claims and bring them back in. So, when we look at our specific expectations, the strongest driver we have with already track record established is here in Germany. With the VA, the policy is a little more recent, but we've already seen – particularly a couple of the spoke centers that have come through and said, okay, we've been wanting to train, ready to train and we know where these individuals are. So, we believe we're going to be able to move a number of those forward. Ori, I would ask you to also comment.

Yeah. About the VA, we have over 100 veterans in our database About which we have approached and are planning to assist them through the process of the evaluation, training and site selection. So, I think this is a significant pool to start walking with. obviously, there are many more. On the number of claims in Europe, we have 139 pending claims only in Europe. Now, with the new process, we expect the process of approval to be shortened. So, this will make it easier for us to convert from the rent to the extra sale. So, those are, I believe, the main two factors for the second half of the year.

Okay, great. And congratulations on the improvements on reimbursement. Second question is, you mentioned the retired Marine captain who was able to obtain a ReWalk 6.0 after having been using the 5.0. And then, you also talked about maybe an upgrade cycle potentially every few years as patients replace their devices. Can you just talk about how that look and the potential impact on the business as you look out the next several years? Thank you.

Well, first, I'll comment. Apparently, the most important measure to us is that the Captain Herrera – he's now retired Captain Herrera – continues to use it and rely on it on a daily basis. And you're approaching his fifth year with the system. So, he stuck with it. And that's a pattern that's particularly important for us that it's working for him, it's changing his life, it's changing his health. On a macro sense, these devices are designed and built with an expected shelf life of approximately five years. So, whether it's within the VA policy or any other policy, including what we've seen in Germany, that is planned for in our discussions with each of those groups and it's common with things such as wheelchairs and other assistive devices. So, while our sales were not particularly large in 2014, it will really start to impact us as a bit of an annuity of types in the years once we get to 2020, 2021, and so – when we have a good number of users approaching their fourth or fifth year with the device.

Thank you. [Operator Instructions]. I'm not showing any further questions at this time. I would now like to turn the call back over to Larry Jasinski for any closing remarks.

I'd like to thank everybody for joining us today. And please stay tuned to what we've got going on. We look forward to having future calls with more details on the things we discussed today. Thank you.

Thank you.
