Total revenues for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 amounted to $1.3 million, compared to $1.8 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016. The decrease for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 compared to the last year's corresponding period is mainly attributable to a decrease in licenses and other revenues.
