the market.

· First report under the Norwegian Transparency Act published at the end of

June.

Horten, 17 August 2023 - poLight ASA (OSE: PLT) today announced its results for

Q2 2023.

"The first smartphone using TLens® in the selfie camera was made available in

the market during the quarter. The initial response, from a performance

perspective, has been positive and we are busy demonstrating the new selfie

camera to other potential customers," said Dr Øyvind Isaksen, the CEO of

poLight.

"Augmented reality (AR) customer cases continue to develop positively. Two

design-wins related to AR enterprise glasses have been secured and are currently

in mass production. The latest release announced during the quarter related to

LLVision from China. The customer pipeline in this segment continues to grow,

and we are involved in both enterprise and consumer cases."

poLight's CEO explained that the company's understanding of the automotive

market has matured during the quarter. "There seems to be a clear need for

autofocus technology and key market players are in dialogue with us on this," he

added.

"Step by step, poLight is moving in the right direction, even under somewhat

difficult market circumstances, particularly in the consumer market. Prospects

for business in future important markets such as AR/VR, automotive and medical

are maturing. There are still challenges to overcome, both from a market and

operational point of view, which we are working hard to overcome," he said.

EBITDA totalled NOK -18.0 million in Q2 2023, compared with NOK -13.9 million in

Q2 2022.

As at 30 June 2023 poLight had a cash holding of NOK 153.2 million, compared

with NOK 84.2 million as at 31 December 2022.
