Additionally, we recently opened our third Customer Experience Center in Santa Clara, California, co-located with our U.S. headquarters. As we work to realize our long-term strategy, we are prepared to expand our global sales and marketing efforts. We will continue to build on our solid channel foundation as we increase our sales presence throughout the world," concluded Mr. Dror.

First Quarter 2018 Financial Results

• Total revenues for the first quarter of 2018 were $635,000, compared to $118,000 in the first quarter of 2017 and $440,000 in the fourth quarter of 2017. The increase was attributed to commercial sales of the DragonFly 2020 Pro 3D printer that began in the fourth quarter of 2017.

The decrease compared to the fourth quarter of 2017 was mainly attributed to a decrease in payroll and related expenses. The increase compared to the first quarter of 2017 resulted primarily from an increase in depreciation expenses, rental fees and maintenance expenses.
  
  The R&D expenses for the first quarter of 2018 are presented net of government grants in the amount of $21,000.
  
  
• Sales and marketing expenses for the first quarter of 2018 were $786,000, compared to $459,000 in the first quarter of 2017 and $772,000 in the fourth quarter of 2017. The increase compared to the first quarter of 2017 was mainly attributed to an increase in payroll and related expenses and marketing and advertising expenses.
  
  
• General and administrative (G&A) expenses for the first quarter of 2018 were $885,000, compared to $904,000 in the first quarter of 2017 and $767,000 in the fourth quarter of 2017. The increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2017 was mainly attributed to an increase in professional services expenses.

Balance Sheet Highlights

During the first quarter of 2018, after considering business developments, the increase in revenue from printer sales, the increase in our marketing activities in the United States and our recent fundraising, we decided to change our functional and presentation currency from NIS to U.S. dollars, effective January 1, 2018. The change in functional currency is accounted for prospectively from that date. The effects of changes in the foreign exchange rates have been applied retrospectively as if the U.S. dollar had always been the Company's presentation currency. Accordingly, comparative profit or loss figures have been translated into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates for the reporting periods. Comparative assets and liabilities figures have been translated into the presentation currency at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date. Components of equity have been translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the relevant transactions. The exchange rate differences arising on translation have been recorded as a part of the equity as "presentation currency translation reserve."

• Cash and cash equivalents totaled $14,767,000 as of March 31, 2018, compared to $6,103,000 on December 31, 2017. The increase compared to December 31, 2017 mainly reflects the proceeds received from the sale of the Company's American Depositary Shares representing ordinary shares in the first quarter of 2018, less the cash used in operations and the cash used for the acquisition of fixed assets during the first quarter of 2018.
  
  
• Shareholders' equity totaled $26, 738 ,000 as of March 31, 2018, compared to $18,166,000 as of December 31, 2017.
