ASX Announcement

September 2021 Quarterly Report and Appendix 4C

Key Highlights:

  • Elsight announced signing of first ‘Elite Level Partner’ agreement with Tech Data in the US

  • Elsight partner Airobotics completed its TASE IPO

  • Elsight advanced communication attracted demonstrable attention in two major unmanned exhibitions where “Halo” was featured

  • Elsight’s “Halo” signature product continuing to enable all Drones operating within the NAAMA Tel Aviv Initiative seen as a Design Win

Elsight Limited (ASX: ELS) (‘Elsight Ltd, ‘Elsight’ or ‘the Company’) , the carrier agnostic, AI powered drone connectivity solutions company, is pleased to provide the following Business Update , outlining the Company’s current achievements over the September quarter.

First ‘Elite Level Partner’ Agreement – US Partner

As announced on 13 July 2021, Elsight has completed an agreement with its first US major tech partner, Tech Data Corporation (www.techdata.com), a leading global IT distributor and solutions aggregator to be a lead distributor for Elsight sales in North America. During this quarter, Tech Data completed a major (US$8 billion) merger with Synnex, to form TD SYNNEX (NYSE: SNX) with US$60 billion in revenues. This complex merger not surprisingly, took the focus away from operational and day to day matters for Tech Data including working with Elsight however, we are expecting a resumption of activity in the lead up to calendar year end. Tech Data is a versatile global IT partner at the heart of the technology ecosystem with a dedicated approach to uniting IT solutions that deliver business outcomes today and unlock growth for tomorrow. Having reach, capabilities and resources that span the technology continuum from edge-tocloud, Tech Data delivers insights and optimised solutions channel partners can depend on to compete and benefit in an evolving marketplace.

During the quarter, Tech Data completed adding Elsight to their catalog and ordering system; additionally, Tech Data initiated the training with Tech Data’s operational personnel and will continue the planned training with Synnex personnel now that the two companies have completed their merger. In parallel, Elsight, in conjunction with Tech Data sales personnel will be approaching Tech Data's main broadband solution resellers to drive “Halo” product awareness and first sales through the channel; The Company expect similar activities to be initiated with Synnex personnel in the short to medium term.

In assessing the revenue opportunities for the Company, it was decided that the Elsight VP of Sales, Scott Jonasz, relocate to Florida, next door to Tech Data’s headquarters, to accelerate Elsight's sales and partnership initiatives within both the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and Broadband markets. As the Drone BVLOS market is not yet fully matured and in parallel to our indirect sales through channels in the USA, the Company is also working on number of deals in the broadband market, with direct sales.

Elsight Partner Airobotics has completed their TASE IPO – FAA

As announced in TASE on 19[th] September 2021, Airobotics, one of Elsight partners has completed their IPO on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. Airobotics is continuing with its process to secure the FAA Type certificate approval after recently completing the last required test by the FAA.

Elsight is considered to be a groundbreaking leader in the Nascent Drone BVLOS Market with “Halo”.

The drone market in general, and the Drone Package Delivery Beyond Visual Line Of Sight (BVLOS) in particular are one of Elsight’s most exciting and promising markets. However, whilst being on the verge of deployment and exponential growth – these markets are still in a pre-mass deployment stage. From the beginning, Elsight’s strategy is to establish itself as an early market leader, while patiently waiting to grow with the market. To do so, the Company is engaging with key players and leaders in the industry. These agreements are perceived as highly strategic and with promising revenues in the future.

During this quarter (September 21-31), Elsight concluded a successful 10-day drones parcel delivery demonstration in Arkansas as part of the world’s most ambitious project of its kind to date. However, despite its success and the potential magnitude of this project in the next five years, initial revenues are below the announcement threshold.

Elsight advanced communication attracts Major attention in two major unmanned Exhibitions – Lead Generation

Trade shows and major performance demonstration events (like NAAMA) have been part of Elsight strategy as the market starts opening up again, despite the pandemic. The fact that in such events (as NAAMA) all the demonstrating drones, from various suppliers, chose to be equipped with “Halo” has propelled Halo towards strong brand recognition in this embryonic industry and this is not likely to go unnoticed in the competitive marketplace.

During the months of August – September, Elsight participated in two main unmanned exhibitions, AUVSI exponential 2021 in Atlanta Georgia, USA and The Commercial UAV Expo Americas in Las Vegas Nevada, USA. These Exhibition events were primarily focused on the current state and future potential of the unmanned market. The Elsight team in attendance experienced tremendous interest in our advanced communication solution, not only from UAV hardware manufacturers, but also solution, service, and operational partners engaged in the global UAV market. The event resulted in 35+ new leads in various stages of the Company's pipeline, from Design/POC partners to potential integrated solution partners.

Elsight’s “Halo” product enables all Drones operating within the NAAMA Tel Aviv Initiative to perform safe, reliable Beyond Visual line of sight operations – Drone Parcel Delivery

The NAAMA Initiative (Hebrew acronym for Urban Aerial Transport) - developing agile regulation and supporting ecosystem to enable drones and UAM [1] operations to deliver on the ultimate platform and testbed for large scale parcel drone deliveries of Sushi throughout the city.

Elsight has been integrated into the NAAMA Initiative from inception, in March 2021. Now, for the third time, as a world’s most advanced drones urban deliveries initiative, from 1st October to 14th October 2021 five companies participated in this extraordinary demonstration of drone parcel delivery, beyond line of sight and in populated city environments. The event included thousands of flights operations and was monitored by most of the world’s leading players, with special focus on the USA. All participating BVLOS drone companies elected to equip their drones with Elsight’s “Halo” on board (now considered the new industry standard for drone connectivity).

KINETX Prime LLC (KP) Update – Drone Parcel Delivery

Elsight has just been informed that the long awaited and anticipated merger and acquisition of Kinetx Prime has not eventuated as we had previously advised the market and our shareholders and as we had anticipated. To avoid possible KP bankruptcy procedures, Elsight is currently in final arrangement process toward repatriating all unpaid product units and transferring them to our own warehouse in their original sealed boxes. It is expected that this process will be completed during this quarter and the units will then be available for sale through other channels.

Elsight Webinar Presentation on Thursday 4[th] November at 11.00am

Elsight plans to hold a webinar presentation of what to expect from the Company to Calendar year end and beyond in early November. Further details and links will follow in a separate communication for all shareholders.

This will be an opportunity to hear from the CEO, Yoav Amitai and the other Directors as well as meeting newly appointed Non-Executive Director Mr Jim Landau. The Company looks forward to meeting with our shareholders at this presentation where you will also be given the chance to participate in a Q & A session.

Authorised for release by the Board of Directors of Elsight Limited.
