Thank you, Larry. Our revenue was $1.2 million for the third quarter of 2015, almost double our Q2 revenue of $610,000. Of the 23 units placed during Q3, 12 were placed for personal use. We are very happy with the progress we have made since receiving FDA clearance and beginning commercialization efforts in the United States a year ago. During the third quarter of 2014, upon launch of our personal devices in the United States, ReWalk experienced strong initial growth, placing 27 systems and achieving revenue of $1.5 million. The prior year quarter benefited from heightened demand from individuals eager to purchase a personal system using their own finances, strong interest from rehabilitation centers and the expansion of our geographic footprint. Our business looks very different today. More than half our sales are for personal units for community use and the majority of these are being paid for by insurance providers. Sequentially, our revenue increase compared to the second quarter of 2015 is a direct result of our focus on establishing and expanding reimbursement coverage in the United States and structuring our reimbursement efforts in Europe to mirror the success we have achieved in the US. We remain encouraged with the interest and the growth in our pipeline of leads and insurance submissions which we believe will build our revenue base going forward. During Q3, we recorded a gross profit of $87,000, compared to a gross profit of $331,000 during Q3 2014, reflecting lower production volumes and additional manufacturing costs associated with transition to the ReWalk Personal 6.0. We continue to see strong ASPs in our direct markets, especially with insurance reimbursements. R&D expense decreased to $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2015, compared to $5.2 million in Q3 2014. In the 2014 period, we recorded a $4.1 million non-cash stock-based compensation charge related to the IPO. SG&A expense grew to $5.1 million during the third quarter of 2015, compared to $3 million during the same period in 2014, driven market development activities including investment in our reimbursement team and marketing activities related to the launch of the ReWalk Personal 6.0, and the cost of being a public company. Net loss was $6.4 million for both the third quarter of 2015 and the third quarter of 2014. On a non-GAAP basis, net loss for the third quarter of 2015 was $5.9 million, compared with net loss of $3.5 million in the prior year quarter. As of September 30, we had $25.1 million in cash and no debt. As part of the normal course of business, we periodically explore financing alternatives available to us. On October 1, we filed a shelf registration allowing us to issue securities up to $100 million in proceeds, to be used for general corporate purposes. We will update you as appropriate should we enter into any material financing arrangements. And with that, I will turn the call back over to Larry.
