Fourth quarter 2016 sales and marketing expenses increased $0.5 million year-over year, to $0.7 million, compared to $0.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2015.

Fourth quarter 2016 research and development expenses increased $0.8 million year-over-year, to $5.5 million, compared to $4.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2015.
