Agora Data to Present at Used Car Week 2021

Agora

Agora Data’s SVP of Strategic Relationships Jim Bass and SVP of Sales Chris Barry will speak at Used Car Week 2021 in Las Vegas at Red Rock Casino & Spa, November 15-18. During his breakout session at 1:30 p.m. on November 15, Bass will present “Franchise Dealers Can Add the BHPH Marketplace to Their Sales Mix, Increasing Sales & Profits.” New car dealers can substantially expand their vehicle and parts/service sales by adding a Buy Here Pay Here (BHPH) dealership as an affiliated business of their company. When BHPH is an option, dealers enjoy fewer lost sales, fewer trade-ins going to auction, and – most importantly – greater profits. Bass will give real-life examples and walk through the steps a dealer can take today to set up a complementary BHPH sales organization. “The opportunity to create higher sales and profits is always worth investigating. Based on my one-on-one discussions with dealers, I believe it’s not yet common knowledge how much of a boost they can get by entering the Buy Here Pay Here business,” Bass said. “At Agora, we enjoy daily visibility into the inner workings of Buy Here Pay Here dealerships, with access to hundreds of data points surrounding portfolio performance and profitability. If new-car dealers were aware of the true potential of Buy Here Pay Here, I think they would jump at the chance to become their own bank. I’m excited to discuss this in-depth and lay out simple, actionable steps to integrate the Buy Here Pay Here model with an existing business.” Barry will present a breakout session titled "Groundbreaking Changes in Auto Financing to Fuel Growth" at 3:30 pm on the same day. Barry will share highlights about the industry’s first-ever crowdsourced subprime securitizations, which were completed by Agora in December 2020 and again in May 2021. Transformative solutions are now available for accessing funding that can help dealers lower their cost of debt, grow their sales volumes, and even slash prices for the consumer while achieving high profitability. Barry commented, “It’s an exciting time to be a Buy Here Pay Here dealer. In the past, only large franchise dealers and used-car superstores were privy to competitive financing with attractive rates and terms. But today’s environment is different. With revolutionary capital solutions like reducing interest rate lines of credit and crowdsourced securitizations, Buy Here Pay Here dealers can easily level up and compete.” Bass and Barry look forward to discussing Agora’s innovative capital solutions and free-of-charge, in-depth portfolio analytics with Used Car Week attendees. Company representatives will also be on hand at future industry conferences, to be announced soon, where they will continue to share Agora’s mission of empowering BHPH dealers and small to mid-size finance companies. About Agora Data, Inc: Founded in 2017, Agora Data’s platform delivers a suite of tools to empower Buy Here Pay Here dealers and finance companies to maximize their success. Agora is disrupting and influencing the industry by connecting its dealers and finance company members to Wall Street and other capital resources previously only available to large dealer groups. Agora Data’s family of auto finance products provides a wide range of critical funding paths so originators can obtain the cash they need to fuel growth. Powered by Agora’s proprietary, radical, AI-infused technology platform, originators now have access to robust data analytics and planning resources to help optimize the performance of their portfolio. Agora Data made history by closing the first-ever Crowdsourced Subprime Auto Securitization in 2020 and followed that up with its second transaction in early 2021.

Foresight Announces Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

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 third quarter of 2021. Foresight ended the third quarter of 2021 with $49 million in cash, cash equivalent and short-term deposits. The Company reported U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) net loss of approximately $3.8 million and non-GAAP net loss of approximately $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to GAAP net loss of approximately $4 million and non-GAAP net loss of approximately $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2020. “During the third quarter, Foresight achieved several significant milestones as part of our strategy to establish a worldwide network of partners for our stereoscopic vision systems for autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles,” stated Haim Siboni, Foresight’s chief executive officer. “We launched pilot projects and signed new agreements with partners in multiple regions, including our first proof-of-concept (POC) project within the autonomous drones category. We are seeing widespread and diverse interest in our innovative vision systems, as manufacturers across industries and geographies recognize the need for safety and reliability in the autonomous vehicle revolution. Foresight has also made important progress in our penetration of the Chinese market, as the company began two POC projects with leading Chinese vehicle manufacturers. This quarter we note an important milestone of the Company’s first recorded revenues, from our previously announced paid POC project with a European OEM. POC projects are an essential aspect of our sales cycle, which may lead to design-wins and potential revenues. Over time, we expect the caliber and geographic diversity of our POC partners to lead to significant growth. Our wholly owned subsidiary, Eye-Net Mobile Ltd., also experienced key breakthroughs during the third quarter. Eye-Net Mobile launched pilot projects with leading manufacturers in Europe and Japan, reflecting a significant and expanding market for its vehicle-to-everything (V2X) accident prevention technology.” Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results This is the first quarter that the Company recorded Service revenues amounted to $40,000. The Service revenues were generated from a successful completion of the first milestone of a POC Project with a European vehicle manufacturer. The second milestone of the POC project, expected to be completed successfully in the fourth quarter will entitle the Company to recognize additional amount of $80,000. Research and development (R&D) expenses, net for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were $2,428,000, compared to $2,157,000 in the three months ended September 30, 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 program Horizon 2020 project. General and administrative (G&A) expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were $975,000, compared to $918,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase is attributed primarily to an increase in professional services and in Directors and Officers insurance premium and offset by a decrease in payroll and related expenses. GAAP net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $3,785,000, or $0.012 per ordinary share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $3,980,000, or $0.015 per ordinary share, in the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in the net loss is attributed mainly to the increase in financing income, net, offset mainly by an increase in payroll and related expenses. Non-GAAP net loss, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $3,406,000, or $0.011 per ordinary share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $3,420,000, or $0.013 per ordinary share, in the three months ended September 30, 2020. 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, cash equivalents and short-term deposits totaled $49 million as of September 30, 2021, compared to $14.5 million as of September 30, 2020. GAAP shareholders’ equity totaled $51.9 million as of September 30, 2021, compared to $47 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. Third Quarter Corporate Highlights: Foresight Completes First Milestone of POC Project with European Vehicle Manufacturer: Foresight successfully completed a feasibility testing phase with a leading European passenger car manufacturer in mid-August 2021, concluding the first phase of a POC project announced by the company in May 2021. The POC project is meant to evaluate the ability of Foresight’s stereoscopic technology to enhance the manufacturer’s existing mono camera-based safety systems without requiring additional sensors and infrastructure and is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2021. Foresight Signs MOU for Cooperation with Global Chinese Vehicle Manufacturer: In early August 2021, Foresight signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for a multiphase business cooperation with Wuhu Chery Technology Co., LTD ("Chery"), a global Chinese vehicle manufacturer, and Xuanyuan Idrive Technology Co. Ltd. (“XY"), a subsidiary of Wuhan Guide Infrared Co. (“Guide Infrared"), a leading Chinese developer and manufacturer of infrared thermal imaging systems. The multiphase cooperation will evaluate Foresight’s QuadSight® automotive vision system for its potential integration into advanced solutions for vehicles manufactured by Chery. Upon successful evaluations, the parties will negotiate a commercial agreement for the co-development of advanced solutions integrating Foresight’s technology with XY’s automotive sensors. Foresight Begins POC Project with Leading Chinese Vehicle Manufacturer: Building on the momentum of the company’s MOU with Chery, Foresight launched a POC project with a leading Chinese passenger car manufacturer in August 2021. Following successful completion of the project and a satisfactory outcome, the vehicle manufacturer may consider future cooperation for possible integration into its semi- and fully autonomous vehicles. The POC project is meant to evaluate the stereoscopic capabilities of the QuadSight vision system. Foresight Receives Notice of U.S. Patent: In July, Foresight announced that it received a notice of allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for its patent application for the Company’s “multispectral vehicular system for providing pre-collision alerts.” The patent serves as the underlying technology for one of Foresight’s flagship products, the QuadSight automotive vision system. Foresight Enters Autonomous Drone Category with POC Project for Wonder Robotics: In August 2021, Foresight announced that Wonder Robotics Ltd. (“Wonder Robotics”), a startup engaged in the design and development of autonomous systems for commercial and military drones, began a POC project and evaluation of Foresight’s QuadSight vision system. Wonder Robotics will test Foresight’s thermal stereoscopic detection abilities for use in vertical take-off and landing drones to improve their autonomous flight, navigation and landing capabilities. Wonder Robotics will also use Foresight’s automatic calibration solution to ensure that the stereo cameras remain calibrated despite the drone’s vibrations. Eye-Net Launches Pilot Project with Multinational Japanese Company: In July 2021, Eye-Net Mobile announced a pilot project with the IT subsidiary of a multi-billion-dollar multinational Japanese company. The pilot project will evaluate the Eye-Net™ Protect accident prevention solution for possible integration as an application layer into the Japanese company’s car-to-everything (C2X) middleware platform.

(“V-tron”), a Dutch company developing telematics products and road safety applications for aftermarket use in European fleets and lease cars. V-tron will evaluate the Eye-Net Protect mobile application for possible integration into its onboard units and application services. 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 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. About Foresight Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd.

Adore Stories, a woman-owned business focused on strengthening women’s voices at the intersection of literature and gaming, is pleased to announce the imminent launch of Adore Romance Stories, in Closed Beta. Sign up here to take part in this exclusive mobile gaming experience! In our competitive research, we have found that gaming companies are largely run by men, while the readership and audience for these story games is primarily women. The lack of gender equity in the gaming industry has long been established by articles in Forbes, The Guardian and many others, and we are here to help balance the scales. We also find that this genre calls for higher quality writing and so we are adopting best practices long-since established in the screenwriting industry that create better emotional engagement with our audience to craft captivating interactive stories. Similarly, we are focused on greater diversity in our characters, stories, and character customization, to provide important representation for the diverse gaming community that plays these games. With a background in literature and a passion for interactive experiences, it only made sense to take our abilities to the mobile gaming world, and create a better literary experience for all readers, whether male or female. Our stories contain a more diverse mix of characters, and are written to higher standards, with award-winning authors signed on and a 100% female editing staff ensuring that women’s voices are heard and supported, and that our stories feel as authentic as possible to lived experience, while retaining a fun, fantasy feel. About Interactive Story Games: Interactive story games allow you, the player, to step into the shoes of the protagonist in a story, choosing how you look, what your name is, and what actions you choose to take in the story. In our stories, you can choose who you want to date, what activities you take part in, and experience the life of a character in a story, whose actions and reactions are written to exacting literary standards. We feel that interactive story games are fundamentally a new category of media consumption, located somewhere between a book, a traditional gaming experience and a movie. The ability to have a choose-your-own-adventure type experience while having additional music, audio cues, and visual experiences create something that’s not quite a book, not quite a movie, and a fundamentally different experience from other mobile, console or desktop gaming experiences. About Adore Stories: Adore Stories has found acclaim for its writing tools like our Character Template, which helps aspiring and established authors provide more color and meaning behind their written characters. Adore Stories is building a writer community, starting with online writing contests, coming soon!

Innovative Startup Develops Unique Method to Remove Plastics from our Oceans

Our Cleaner Planet

Our Cleaner Planet, a non-profit startup with an innovative technique to remove plastics from our oceans, announced today that it has successfully completed prototype testing of its first plastic harvester and is now ready to move forward with larger unit testing. The program is scheduled to launch the first of its full-sized, plastic harvesters into ocean operation in 2025. Pat Marshall, founder of Our Cleaner Planet, says that he and the development team are very encouraged by the results of the prototype tests. “The test parameters for our 1:164-scale prototype were set up to evaluate speed and control and the first stage of the filtration process,” he said. “We exceeded on all levels and we are excited to move on to our larger scale, test model.” The next step is a 1:12-scale unit that the team expects to start testing in early 2022. Marshall, an accomplished aerospace engineer and executive with many years of research and development experience in the aerospace sector, created Our Cleaner Planet with the mission to harvest plastics from our oceans by developing innovative, sustainable methods that leverage proven engineering to create a cleaner, healthier planet. Our Cleaner Planet has a patent-pending design that is focused not only on the larger, macroplastics, but also on the much smaller micro- and nanoplastics. This is an important distinction because many current cleanup efforts focus solely on the larger pieces of plastic leaving the smaller pieces to continue damaging the ocean ecosystem and our global environment. “The problem has become much more impactful than just the sheer mass of plastic now in our oceans. Plastic does not biodegrade. Instead, it breaks down into smaller pieces. These smaller pieces continue to get smaller and more toxic, creating a domino effect of damage extending from the fragile ecosystems in our oceans to our global environment and all the way up the food chain to human ingestion,” Marshall revealed. “Removing plastics from the oceans is only part of the solution to this problem, but it is the important first step that Our Cleaner Planet will take.” In its efforts to attack this wide-ranging plastic problem, Our Cleaner Planet’s system will include a large ship that utilizes an ocean-borne, plastic debris harvesting process. The process will not only remove the macro- and microplastics, but it will also introduce a unique method of removing nanoplastics down to 5 microns in size. The system will extend from surface level to a depth of 60 feet, allowing Our Cleaner Planet to remove the much smaller plastics more effectively and at much deeper levels of the ocean. The company expects to develop a fleet of ships with each vessel capable of removing up to 1000 metric tons of plastics from the oceans each year. Marshall explained that Our Cleaner Planet is targeting a net zero harvesting system. “Harvested plastics will be further processed into fuel onboard and each ship will be outfitted with CO 2 scrubbers. Ash will be the sole byproduct of the process and excess ash will be further utilized in other industries finally completing the lifecycle of the harvested plastic,” he said Our Cleaner Planet was founded as a non-profit organization in 2018, but Marshall has been working on the problem and his patent-pending solution for more than eight years. He has assembled a team of professionals with decades of experience piloting complex projects from research and development to commercial release. Marshall says this gives them an extra advantage in development and implementation. “Instead of rushing to the ocean with an unproven design, wasting crucial time and investment capital, my team and I have been adamant about proving our concept and testing the design before we went public,” he said. Marshall and his team are currently seeking funding and additional support and expect to launch Our Cleaner Planet’s first full-sized ship in early 2025.
