NESS ZIONA, Israel, December 1, 2017 – Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd., a leading developer of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (NASDAQ and TASE: FRSX), today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017. Foresight ended the third quarter of 2017 with \$21.5 million in cash and short-term deposits, with GAAP net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of \$22.4 million and with non-GAAP net loss of \$4.3 million.
Commenting on the results, Foresight's Chief Executive Officer Haim Siboni said, "This quarter, we completed two additional pilot tests with leading Chinese car manufacturers where we successfully demonstrated our potentially life-saving technology. We plan to broaden our outreach to additional manufacturers, and to sign commercial agreements, in our efforts to expand globally. Furthermore, our successful system demonstration and anticipated commercial agreement with Uniti Sweden proves that our competitive technology aligns with our long-term corporate development strategy to become a leader in the automated transportation industry."
Non-GAAP net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was \$2,086,000 compared to a non-GAAP net loss of \$879,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2016.

is attributed mainly to the increase in R&D expenses, the increase in stock-based compensation expenses, and the increase in revaluation of derivative warrant liability.
Non-GAAP net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was \$4,299,000 compared to a non-GAAP net loss of \$2,323,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

A reconciliation between GAAP shareholders' equity results and non-GAAP shareholders' equity results is provided in the following financial statements that are part of this release. Non-GAAP results exclude derivative warrant liability.

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company's earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures of net loss for the period that excludes the effect of stock-based compensation expenses and revaluation of derivative warrant liability, and non-GAAP financial measures of shareholders' equity that excludes the effect of derivative warrant liability. The company's management believes the non-GAAP financial information provided in this release is useful to investors' understanding and assessment of the company's on-going operations. Management also uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating business internally and as such deemed it important to provide all this information to investors. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the company should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. Reconciliations between GAAP measures and non-GAAP measures are provided later in this press release.
