Demand for our legacy products remains solid especially in Asia, while iBar sales increasingly trend upward. Looking ahead, we expect to see sequential revenue growth into the fourth quarter, which implies revenues of around $10 million for the full year of 2016. We see this as a substantial achievement, demonstrating strong growth in recent years.
