Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd.

Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd., an innovator in automotive vision systems (Nasdaq and TASE: FRSX) (“Foresight”), today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2021. Foresight ended the fourth quarter of 2021 with $45.7 million in cash, cash equivalent and short-term deposits. Foresight reported a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) net loss of $15.04 million for the full year 2021, which is approximately 2% less than the GAAP net loss of $15.32 million reported for the full year 2020. Foresight reported a GAAP net loss of $3.72 million for the fourth quarter 2021 and a non-GAAP net loss of $3.27 million for the fourth quarter and $12.57 million for the full year 2021. “Foresight concluded 2021 with a series of successes that we believe validate our product development roadmap and demonstrate the widespread appeal and the large potential addressable market for our stereoscopic vision systems,” said Haim Siboni, CEO of Foresight. “Most notably, we successfully completed a proof-of-concept (POC) project with a leading European vehicle manufacturer, demonstrating the added value of our QuadSight® solution in converting mono camera-based systems to stereoscopic systems for improved performance.

Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Results Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2021 amounted to $80,000. The revenues were generated from the successful completion of the second milestone of a POC project with a European vehicle manufacturer. Research and development (R&D) expenses for the fourth quarter of 2021 were $2,647,000, compared to $2,189,000 in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase is attributed mainly to an increase in payroll and related expenses and offset by participation in R&D expenses from the European Horizon 2020 project. General and administrative (G&A) expenses for the fourth quarter of 2021 were $986,000, compared to $793,000 in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase is attributed primarily to an increase in payroll and related expenses, in professional services and in directors and officers insurance premiums. GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $3,726,000, or $0.012 per ordinary share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $3,964,000 or $0.015 per ordinary share in the fourth quarter of 2020. Non-GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $3,272,000, or $0.10 per ordinary share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $3,712,000, or $0.014 per ordinary share, in the fourth quarter of 2020. A reconciliation between GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss is provided following the financial statements that are part of this release. Non-GAAP results exclude the effect of share-based compensation expenses. Full Year 2021 Financial Results R&D expenses, net for the full year ended December 31, 2021, were $10,170,000, compared to $8,563,000 for the full year ended December 31, 2020. The increase is attributed mainly to an increase in payroll and related expenses, in subcontracted work provided to us and in rent and office expenses, partially offset by participation in R&D expenses from the European Horizon 2020 project. G&A expenses for the full year ended December 31, 2021, were $3,980,000, compared to $3,005,000 for the full year ended December 31, 2020. The increase is attributed mainly to an increase in payroll and related expenses, in professional services and in Directors and Officers insurance premium. GAAP net loss for the full year ended December 31, 2021, was $15,036,000, or $0.047 per ordinary share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $15,324,000, or $0.07 per ordinary share, for the full year ended December 31, 2020. Non-GAAP net loss for the full year ended December 31, 2021, was $12,572,000, or $0.039 per ordinary share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $14,162,000, or $0.064 per ordinary share, for the full year ended December 31, 2020. Balance Sheet Highlights Cash and short-term deposits totaled $45.7 million as of December 31, 2021, compared to $43.9 million as of December 31, 2020. GAAP total equity totaled $48.6 million as of December 31, 2021, compared to $47.1 million as of December 31, 2020. The increase is attributed to the receipt of proceeds from the securities offerings completed during the first quarter of 2021 and option exercises, offset by the net loss for the same period. Fourth Quarter Corporate Highlights: Foresight Successfully Completes POC Project with Leading European Vehicle Manufacturer: In December, Foresight announced the successful completion of the second phase of a proof of concept (POC) project with a leading European passenger car manufacturer.

Green Cubes Technology Announces Membership in CircuBAT Research Program

Green Cubes Technology

Green Cubes Technology, a leader in electrification and Lithium power solutions, today announced its participation as a founding member in CircuBAT. CircuBAT is a Swiss research program that aims to create a Swiss circular business model for the production, application, and recycling of Lithium-ion batteries. Seven Swiss research institutions and 24 companies are joining forces to look for ways to boost sustainability in all stages of a battery’s life cycle. CircuBAT will focus on finding solutions that boost sustainability in all phases of a Lithium-ion battery’s life cycle. This will include extending the lifespan of batteries during their first application. Researchers hope to achieve this by developing optimal charging and discharging strategies as well as new concepts for battery construction that make repairs easy. The project also aims to put batteries to use as stationary energy storage systems after they are retired from their first mobility-related application. To that end, CircuBAT will look at the best ways of integrating these batteries at a local level and ensuring their safe and efficient operation. Finally, the researchers will look for solutions for remanufacturing batteries and recovering materials that enable large quantities of high-quality secondary raw materials to be used to produce new batteries. Bern University of Applied Sciences BFH is the Leading House in the CircuBAT project. On the science side, an additional six Swiss research institutions are involved in the project: Empa, the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM), the University of St. Gallen (HSG), the Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences (OST), the Switzerland Innovation Park Biel / Bienne (SIPBB) and the EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology). These institutions are joined by 24 companies from economy and industry, among them Kyburz, Leclanché, Bühler and Green Cubes Technology. As a founding member of CircuBAT, Green Cubes Technology has made a multi-year financial investment in the program. The company will also contribute first-use lithium-ion batteries for experimentation and testing within the program, provide engineering design services to develop new more-efficient batteries, and contribute intellectual property to achieve the objectives of CircuBAT. Green Cubes Technology will participate in two working groups. The “First Use” group will focus on extending the life of first-use batteries through extensive analysis of deployed batteries in the field. Green Cubes Technology will contribute performance data collected from its prolific installed base of Lithium-ion batteries. The “Second Life” group will focus on creating second-use and second-life opportunities to minimize the total CO 2 footprint of lithium-ion battery systems during their lifetime. Since its inception 30 years ago, Green Cubes Technology has gained considerable experience minimizing the environmental impact of its deployed batteries. This positive impact will be amplified with a system of second life batteries, where the installed base of first use batteries is redeployed when they reach a certain age limit. The Lithium-ion cells used in Green Cubes Technology’s batteries are non-toxic, and are currently recycled and reprocessed at their end of life. Going forward, these cells can be repurposed into less demanding second life applications such as backup energy storage. “We joined the CircuBAT research program because its mission is very well aligned with ours,” said Keith Washington, CEO of Green Cubes Technology. “We all want the same thing and that is a circular economy for Lithium-ion batteries. We are looking forward to sharing our experience, and giving electric mobility batteries a second life with our Swiss partners in the CircuBAT research program, as they strive to make the Swiss economy as sustainable as possible” More information on the research program can be found on its website: https://circubat.ch. About Green Cubes Technology Green Cubes Technology develops and manufactures safe and reliable electrification solutions that enable its OEM and enterprise customers to transition from Lead Acid and Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) power to Lithium-ion battery power. Green Cubes utilizes proven hardware and software platforms to build the most reliable Lithium power solutions in its industries. With over 300 employees across six countries, Green Cubes has been producing innovative, high-performance and high-quality power solutions since 1986.

Experience a vibrant world of color with the OPPO Find X5 Pro Billion Colour Bionic Display

OPPO

SHENZHEN, CHINA - Media OutReach - 31 March 2022 - The OPPO Find X5 Pro has the most advanced display ever seen in an OPPO phone: The 1 Billion Colour Bionic Display. It uses a 120Hz Adaptive Dynamic Refresh Rate and 1000Hz instantaneous touch sampling rate panel with multi-point calibration, 8192-level bionic dimming and support for HDR10+, among other highlights. In this generation of the Find series, OPPO has taken a renewed focus not just on display quality, but how the eyes see. Its 6.7-inch ultra-clear AMOLED curved screen is matched with ultra-tough contoured Gorilla Glass Victus protection for flagship-grade drop and scratch resistance. The curve catches the light, a charming visual effect in itself, but also helps OPPO achieve a superb 92.7% screen to body ratio. This maximizes the canvas for users’ favorite apps, games and photos, relative to the size of the phone. The world in color The OPPO Find X5 Pro displays more than 1 billion colors The OPPO Find X5 Pro 1 Billion Colour AMOLED display is capable of rendering 100% of the colors in the DCI P3 gamut, the standard used by Hollywood colourists to perfect movies for big-screen reproduction. Careful calibration is key here, though. The Find X5 Pro has received one of the highest accolades available to phones as a result, a DisplayMate A+ rating. The OPPO Find X5 Pro advanced color engine will also adapt the array of colors used to match the content. While users are editing the holiday photos, rest assured the bright tones of tropical flowers and deep oranges, reds and umbers of an ocean sunset are not simply flattered by the OPPO Find X5 Pro’s rich display. Such memories are made for sharing with others. Accuracy in all places New for this generation of Find phones, the OPPO Find X5 Pro also offers Multi-Brightness Colour Calibration. Most phones, even those with excellent-quality displays, are made to look their best at a specific brightness level. OPPO’s Find X5 Pro is tuned for peak performance at the display power used both indoors and outdoors. Perfect display calibration is like a fragile ornament, broken by changes in multiple factors, but OPPO adjusts to compensate for them all. However, color tone is not always the most important factor in a phone display. Brightness matters more if the users are out at a picnic with friends and want to video call another who couldn’t make it. Or if the user wants to compose a picture of a sun-baked beach while on holiday. The OPPO Find X5 Pro’s screen panel provides peak brightness of a searing 1300 nits, enough to cut through the most dazzling sunny days. Such versatility is just as important at the other extreme. In a dark room our pupils constrict, making even a dim phone screen seem ultra-bright, even painful. The OPPO Find X5 Pro can simmer all the way down to 20 nits of brightness, so everyone can read articles or watch videos under the covers in comfort. In addition, OPPO Find X5 Pro’s blue light filter reduces the amount of blue light emitted from the screen, which can affect the sleeping patterns. It’s a screen made for all occasions. But fidelity plays a part here too. The OPPO Find X5 Pro’s Auto Brightness mode can tune the display to 8192-level bionic dimming levels. The OPPO Find X5 Pro’s brightness scaling mirrors the way the eyes and brains function, with 12 scaling modes. These gears of modulation alter the rate at which display power changes depending on its current level. The end result is it appears smooth, consistent and pleasantly gradual to the eyes in all conditions. Life at high frame rates The OPPO Find X5 Pro's adaptive refresh rate automatically adjusts between 1-120Hz The OPPO Find X5 Pro’s 120Hz Adaptive Dynamic Refresh Rate further enhances the smoothness provided by the fine-grain brightness control and self-calibrating color enhancement. It lets Android apps display at twice the usual frame rate, making menus glide with such grace the term “scroll” no longer seems to do them justice. The Find X series has had a 120Hz Adaptive Dynamic Refresh Rate since the OPPO Find X2 Pro, but the Find X5 Pro can scale its refresh rate more dramatically than ever before. It can drop as low as 1Hz for static content, refreshing pixels just once a second, use 60Hz for apps that don’t support 120Hz, and the full rate for ultra-smooth scrolling in others. A low refresh rate reduces power consumption, letting users to spend more time enjoying the power of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor in the latest games before needing to give the 5000mAh battery a turbo 80W SuperVOOC Flash Charge and 50W AirVOOC Wireless Flash Charge to top-up, or spend longer relaxing with an HDR movie. The OPPO Find X5 Pro supports HDR10+ video as standard, and even if the favorite is not available in HDR, the advanced video engine can upscale it to HDR. The display makes composing photos easier outdoors, is a great way to watch movies on-the-go, and can adapt to the users’ needs in almost every situation. Setting new standards for smartphones, there’s something everyone can appreciate in the OPPO Find X5 Pro screen. Contact Details OPPO Media Contact press@oppo.com
