This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other Federal securities laws. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates" and similar expressions or variations of such words are intended to identify forward-looking statements. For example, Foresight is using forward-looking statements in this press release when it discusses that it expects demonstrations in France and Germany to lead to additional cooperation and prototype purchases, that its partnership with Guide Infrared will significantly expand its footprint in greater China, continuing to pursue its strategy of increasing customer base through technological demonstrations, that customer satisfaction may lead to additional system orders for mass production, revenue from prototype system sales, cooperation with Wuhan Guide Infrared Co. Ltd., and potential integration of the Eye-Net solution in a vehicle manufacturer's connected car platform. Because such statements deal with future events and are based on Foresight's current expectations, they are subject to various risks and uncertainties, and actual results, performance or achievements of Foresight could differ materially from those described in or implied by the statements in this press release.
The forward-looking statements contained or implied in this press release are subject to other risks and uncertainties, including those discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" in Foresight's annual report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 20, 2019, and in any subsequent filings with the SEC. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements: Foresight's burn rate, its ability to generate revenue, and its ability to continue as a going concern. Based on the projected cash flows and our cash balances as of September 30, 2019, Foresight's management is of the opinion that without further fund raising it will not have enough resources to enable it to continue advancing its activities for a period of at least 12 months. As a result, there is substantial doubt about Foresight's ability to continue as a going concern. Except as otherwise required by law, Foresight undertakes no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
