NESS ZIONA, Israel — March 20, 2019 — Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd., an innovator in automotive vision systems (Nasdaq and TASE: FRSX), today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2018. Foresight ended the fourth quarter of 2018 with \$15.7 million in cash and short-term deposits. This amount does not include gross proceeds of approximately \$6.2 million raised through a public offering on March 19, 2019.
The Company reported GAAP net loss of \$9.4 million for the fourth quarter 2018, and non-GAAP net loss for the same period of \$4.1 million.
"Multiple positive developments in 2018 served to validate the strength of our QuadSight™ vision system," said Haim Siboni, Foresight's CEO. "We are particularly proud to be named a CES Innovation Awards honoree, recognizing QuadSight™ in the Vehicle Intelligence and Self-Driving category. This award from one of the industry's most prestigious events acknowledges the groundbreaking technology at work in our QuadSight™ system.
"The strength of our competitive product offering was also recognized through a \$1 million investment by RH Electronics, a leading contractor in the electronic industry, which purchased shares in Foresight at a significant premium over the market price. This investment echoes the industry confidence as demonstrated by the purchase of QuadSight™ prototypes by three separate European and Chinese automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and one leading defense company in Israel. We expect to continue this momentum into 2019 and sell more systems as in-vehicle demonstrations increase customer confidence in our superior technology."

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

● On March 13, 2019, Rail Vision and Knorr-Bremse, a global market leader for braking systems and a leading supplier of other rail and commercial vehicle subsystems, executed an agreement whereby Knorr-Bremse will invest \$10 million in Rail Vision, in two installments, in consideration of 21.34% of the Company's issued and outstanding capital, representing a post investment valuation of approximately \$47 million.
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, the revaluation of other investments and revaluation of derivative warrant liability, and non-GAAP financial measures of shareholders' equity that excludes the effect of derivative warrant liability and the revaluation of other investments. 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 ongoing 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.

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 expectations to continue momentum into 2019 and selling more systems as in-vehicle demonstrations increase customer confidence in the company's superior technology, the agreement with RH Electronics, and that a leading European manufacturer of commercial vehicles will continue independent evaluation of the QuadSight™ system's performance.
