Thank you, Amit. Good day everyone and thank you again for joining us. We reported a record revenue of $1,672,000 for the third quarter of 2018, representing a 54% sequential increase over the previous quarter revenues of $1,088,000. The increase in revenues was mainly attributable to growth in commercial sales of the DragonFly Pro 3D printer, which began in the fourth quarter of 2017. Research and development expenses for the quarter were $2,199,000, compared with $2,063,000 in the second quarter of 2018 and $2,894,000 in the third quarter of 2017. The increase compared to the previous quarter was mainly attributed to an increase in share-based payment expenses and a decrease, compared to the third quarter of 2017 was mainly attributed to a decrease in payroll and related expenses and materials expenses. Sales and marketing expenses for the third quarter of 2018 increased to $1,167,000, compared with $1,086,000 in the second quarter of 2018 and $500,000 in the third quarter of 2017. The increase compared to the second quarter of this year is mainly attributed to marketing and advertising expenses associated with the company’s accelerated commercial operations. The increase compared to the third quarter of 2017 is mainly attributed to headcount increases and related expenses, as well as marketing and advertising expenses.General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2018 was $615,000, compared with $609,000 in the second quarter of 2018 and $642,000 in the third quarter of 2017. The decrease compared to the third quarter of 2017 is attributed to a decrease in directors’ fees. We reported a net loss of $3,628,000, or $0.04 per share for the third quarter, compared with a loss of $3,770,000, or $0.04 per share for the second quarter of 2018 and $4,117,000, or $0.08 per share in the third quarter of 2017. We are diligent about controlling our operating expenses and maintaining a consistent cash burn rate, while actively shifting our resources from R&D to growing our sales operations and commercial expansions. The CapEx for the third quarter were $257,000 and depreciation and amortization expenses for the quarter $504,000. Share-based payment for this quarter were about $102,000. The company ended this quarter with $7,529,000 in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $6,103,000 on the end of 2017. This reflects the proceeds received from the issuance of our ordinary shares in the first quarter of 2018, less the cash used in operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. We ended the third quarter with approximately $2.6 million of product inventory, which we expect to tune in the ordinary course. With that, I will turn the call back over to Amit for final remarks.
