Exhibit 99.1
Foresight Announces Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results
NESS ZIONA, Israel — August 20, 2020 — Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd., an innovator in automotive vision systems (Nasdaq and TASE: FRSX), today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2020. Foresight ended the second quarter of 2020 with $17.4 million in cash and short-term deposits.
The Company reported GAAP net loss of $3.3 million and non-GAAP net loss of $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2020, compared to GAAP net loss of $4 million and non-GAAP net loss of $3.9 million for the first quarter of 2020, reflecting a decrease of $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively, resulting from the reduction in monthly operating expenses made during the second quarter.
“Foresight achieved outstanding business and technological milestones during the second quarter, demonstrating our steady progress in a number of key areas,” said Haim Siboni, Foresight’s CEO. “Most notably, we announced our strategic collaboration with FLIR Systems Inc. in April, through which we will combine FLIR’s industry-leading thermal imaging cameras with our QuadSight® vision system. This collaboration will allow us to expand our sales and distribution efforts in new verticals and regions, as we leverage FLIR’s exceptional technology and reputation to make new inroads in the automotive industry. In addition, we have taken the next step in our collaboration with our partner Elbit Systems Ltd. We will be entering a product development phase that includes customization of our unique vision system for potential end customers. This significant milestone will allow us to expand our presence in the defense market.
“Foresight also strengthened its balance sheet during the second quarter through three capital raises, as we raised $14.4 million in gross proceeds, to support expanded R&D and marketing efforts. Our affiliates and subsidiaries, Rail Vision Ltd. and Eye-Net Mobile Ltd., both made important strides during the quarter. Rail Vision announced its first sale to a leading European train operator, which could result in future sales of up to 6 million Euro, while Eye-Net Mobile reported two important technological advancements for its Eye-Net™ Protect accident prevention solution.
“Our innovative technologies and expertise in thermal imaging, computer vision and AI serve as the backbone for our COVID-19 screening solution, for which we submitted a patent application in the United States. This solution is designed to detect up to six key symptoms of COVID-19, and we believe that this technology could play an important role in responding to the coronavirus pandemic. In the upcoming weeks, as a result of an accelerated development effort, Foresight will start a first pilot project for its prototype COVID-19 symptom detection solution with one of Israel’s largest health maintenance organizations.
“Foresight and its subsidiaries have continued all business activities throughout the first half of 2020, with required adaptations to marketing and business development, and with minimal changes to research and development,” concluded Mr. Siboni.
Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results
● | Research and development (R&D) expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were $1,876,000, compared to $2,390,000 in the same quarter last year. The decrease is attributed mainly to a decrease in subcontracted services. |
● | General and administrative (G&A) expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were $634,000, compared to $865,000 in the same quarter last year. The decrease is attributed primarily to a decrease in payroll and related expenses and a decrease in professional services. |
● | GAAP net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $3,331,000, or $0.02 per ordinary share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $3,823,000, or $0.03 per ordinary share, in the same quarter last year. |
● | Non-GAAP net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $3,136,000, or $0.02 per ordinary share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $3,016,000, or $0.02 per ordinary share, in the same quarter last year. A reconciliation between GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss is provided following the financial statements that are part of this release. |
Balance Sheet Highlights
● | Cash and short-term deposits totaled $17.4 million as of June 30, 2020, compared to $10.1 million as of December 31, 2019. |
● | Investments in Rail Vision Ltd. totaled $5.4 million on June 30, 2020, compared to $6.7 million as of December 31, 2019. The decrease is attributed primarily to equity in net loss of Rail Vision. |
● | GAAP shareholders’ equity totaled $22.2 million as of June 30, 2020, compared to $16.3 million as of December 31, 2019. The increase is attributed mainly to equity raises in the amount of $14.4 million, gross, completed during the second quarter of 2020, partially offset by the net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020. |
● | Non-GAAP shareholders’ equity totaled $22.2 million as of June 30, 2020, compared to $16.6 million as of December 31, 2019. A reconciliation between GAAP shareholders’ equity results and non-GAAP shareholders’ equity results is provided following the financial statements that are part of this release. |

● | Foresight Appoints Alain Charlois as Vice President of Strategic Partnerships in North America and Europe: In June, Foresight announced the appointment of Alain Charlois, an industry veteran with experience commercializing disruptive technologies. Mr. Charlois, who will serve as Vice President of Strategic Partnerships in North America and Europe, will be responsible for developing new business opportunities and identifying potential partners in the autonomous driving and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) markets on both continents. |
● | Rail Vision Receives First Order of 500,000 Euro from Leading European Train Operator: The leading European train operator purchased an Assisted Remote Shunting prototype system and an Operational Functional Test (OFT). The OFT test of the system is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2020. Successful testing of the Assisted Remote Shunting prototype system could entail the purchase of an additional 75 systems for an additional 6 million Euro. |
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Results
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 exclude 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 exclude 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.

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - | GENERAL |
A. | Reporting Entity |
Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (the “Company”) is an Israeli resident company incorporated in Israel. The address of the Company’s registered office is 7 Golda Meir St., Ness Ziona, Israel. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2020, comprise the Company and its subsidiaries in Israel (together referred to as the “Group”). The Company, by means of its subsidiary, Foresight Automotive Ltd. (“Foresight Automotive”), is a technology company engaged in the design, development and commercialization of stereo/quad-camera vision systems for the automotive industry. The Company’s vision systems are based on 3D video analysis, advanced algorithms for image processing and sensor fusion. In addition, the Company, by means of its subsidiary, Eye-Net Mobile Ltd. (“Eye-Net Mobile”), is also engaged in the design and development of V2X (vehicle-to-everything) cellular-based accident prevention solutions that connect users and infrastructure through smart cellular-based platforms. V2X is a wireless technology that enables communication between vehicles, infrastructure, and other devices in the vicinity, grid, home, and network. The ordinary shares of the Company, no par value each (the “Ordinary Shares”), are registered for trade on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. In addition, since June 15, 2017, the Company has American Depository Shares (“ADSs”) registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The ADSs are listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market; the ratio of the Company’s Ordinary Shares to ADSs is 5:1.
B. | The Group’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional funding to operationalize its technology before competitors develop similar technology. In addition, the Group is subject to risks from, among other things, competition associated within the industry in general, other risks associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer requirements and limited operating history. |
C. | The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. To date, the Company has not generated revenues from its activities and has incurred substantial operating losses. Management expects the Company to continue to generate substantial operating losses for the foreseeable future until it completes development of its products. The Company had cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits of $17,441 as of June 30, 2020. Management expects to continue to fund its operations primarily through utilization of its current financial resources and through additional raises of capital. The Company intends to raise such capital through the issuance of additional equity financing. However, if such financing is not available at adequate levels, the Company will need to reevaluate its operating plan and may be required to delay the development of its products. The Company expects that its cash and cash equivalents and short term deposits as of June 30, 2020 will be sufficient to fund operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least one year from the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are filed with the SEC. |
D. | The coronavirus (“COVID-19”), which was declared in March 2020 by the World Health Organization as a pandemic, has had a significant impact on global markets and the economy of many countries, including countries in which the Company operates. As the ultimate impact on the global economy of the COVID-19 pandemic remains unclear, the Company anticipates that it will have a continuing impact on global economies in the near future. While the COVID-19 pandemic has not materially affected the Company’s operations as of the date hereof, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic shall impact the Company’s operations will depend on future developments. In particular, the continued spread of COVID-19 globally could materially adversely impact the Company’s operations, mainly due to travel restrictions which could impact our sales and marketing as well as the ability to continue to raise capital. |

NOTE 2 - | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
A. | Unaudited Interim Financial Statements |
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments except as otherwise discussed). For further information, reference is made to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The results of operation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.
B. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are identical to those applied in the preparation of the latest annual financial statements.
C. | Use of estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
D. | Recently Adopted Accounting Standards |
The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are identical to those applied in the preparation of the latest annual audited financial statements with the exception of the following:
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” to improve information on credit losses for financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The ASU replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2020. There was not a material impact on the interim consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements,” which will improve the effectiveness of disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements and is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2020. This standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

A. | Operating Results. |
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our Annual Report, as well as our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto for the six months ended June 30, 2020, included elsewhere in this Report on Form 6-K.

The following financial data in this narrative are expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except for share and per share data or as otherwise noted.
Overview
We are a technology company engaged, through our fully owned subsidiary, Foresight Automotive Ltd., in the design, development and commercialization of stereo/quad-camera vision systems for the automotive industry based on three-dimensional (3D) video analysis, advanced algorithms for image processing and sensor fusion. We develop advanced systems for accident prevention, which are designed to provide real-time information about a vehicle’s surroundings while in motion. Our systems are designed to improve driving safety by enabling highly accurate and reliable threat detection while ensuring the lowest rates of false alerts. We target two vertical markets: advanced driver assistance systems and semi-autonomous/autonomous vehicles.
We are also engaged, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Eye-Net Mobile Ltd., in the design and development of V2X (vehicle-to-everything) cellular-based accident prevention solutions that connect users and infrastructure through smart cellular-based platforms. V2X is a wireless technology that enables communication between the vehicles, infrastructure, and other devices in the vicinity, grid, home, and network. This type of communication enables better traffic management, which leads to reduced congestion on the roads.

Research and development expenses, net
Our research and development expenses, net for the six months ended June 30, 2020 amounted to approximately $4,217, representing a decrease of approximately $243, or 5.4%, compared to approximately $4,460 for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

On March 19, 2019, pursuant to an underwriting agreement with A.G.P./Alliances Global Partners, as the underwriter for a public offering of our American Depositary Shares, or ADSs, that were offered pursuant to a shelf takedown under a registration statement on Form F-3 (Registration No. 333-229715), or the Registration Statement, we issued 4,100,000 ADSs (representing 20,500,000 Ordinary Shares) at a price of $1.50 per ADS, and net proceeds to us from the sale of the shares were approximately $6,521,000.
On April 30, 2020, pursuant to a registered direct offering of our ADSs, we issued to certain investors 5,300,000 ADSs (representing 26,500,000 Ordinary Shares) at a price of $0.50 per ADS, under the Registration Statement. The net proceeds to us from the sale of the ADSs were approximately $2,294,000.

Current Outlook
We have financed our operations to date primarily through proceeds from sales of our Ordinary Shares and warrants. We have incurred losses and generated negative cash flows from operations since July 2015. Since July 2015, we have not generated substantial revenue from the sale of products and we do not expect to generate substantial revenues from sale of our products in the next few years.
As of June 30, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents including short-term bank deposits were approximately $17,441. We expect that our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term bank deposits will be sufficient to fund our current operations until December 2021; however, we expect that we will require substantial additional capital to complete the development of, and to commercialize, our products. In addition, our operating plans may change as a result of many factors that may currently be unknown to us, and we may need to seek additional funds sooner than planned. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
● | the progress and costs of our research and development activities; |
● | the costs of manufacturing our products; |
● | the costs of filing, prosecuting, enforcing and defending patent claims and other intellectual property rights; |
● | the potential costs of contracting with third parties to provide marketing and distribution services for us or for building such capacities internally; and |
● | the magnitude of our general and administrative expenses. |
5
Until we can generate significant recurring revenues, we expect to satisfy our future cash needs through equity financings. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all. If funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate research or development plans for, or commercialization efforts with respect to our products.
The recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus 2019, or COVID-19, which was declared in March 2020 by the World Health Organization as a pandemic, has had a significant impact on global markets and the economy of many countries, including countries in which the Company operates. As the ultimate impact on the global economy of the COVID-19 pandemic remains unclear, the Company anticipates that it will have a continuing impact on global economies in the near future. While the COVID-19 pandemic has not materially affected the Company’s operations as of the date hereof, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic shall impact the Company’s operations will depend on future developments. In particular, the continued spread of COVID-19 globally could materially adversely impact the Company’s operations, mainly due to travel restrictions which could impact our sales and marketing as well as the ability to continue to raise capital.
