Foresight Changzhou Automotive Ltd. ("Foresight Changzhou"), our fully owned subsidiary in Jiangsu Province, China, received special recognition from the China Israel Changzhou Innovation Park, and Eye-Net Mobile Ltd. ("Eye-Net" or "Eye-Net Mobile"), our wholly owned subsidiary, received its first order for the Eye-Zone™ V2X automotive system from a leading Japanese automotive manufacturer," said Haim Siboni, CEO of Foresight.

"The first quarter also saw a key breakthrough for Rail Vision Ltd. ("Rail Vision"), our affiliate, which received an order from Israel Railways for 10 Main Line Systems. We believe that these achievements for Foresight, Eye-Net, and Rail Vision demonstrate the exceptional performance of our technology, as our POC projects are in the process of converting into orders from leading organizations in the automotive, defense, and transportation industries. As we continue to prove our ability to create tailored, high-performance solutions for a diverse customer base, we expect to see increased demand," concluded Mr. Siboni.

First Quarter Corporate Highlights

The POC project will evaluate Foresight's innovative solution for the automatic calibration of mono cameras. Foresight and the manufacturer will work together to develop a breakthrough solution capable of detecting when a single camera's position has changed. The solution will also use Foresight's proprietary software to provide real-time correction of a camera's position while the vehicle is in motion. If successful, the POC project may provide a solution that eliminates the need for external calibration in a garage for all vehicles using mono cameras.

First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023, amounted to $55,000,

compared to $35,000 in the first quarter of 2022. The revenues were generated

primarily from the successful completion of a POC project with a global Japanese

vehicle manufacturer, as well as the completion of the first milestone of Eye-Net's

POC project for the Eye-Zone system from a leading Japanese vehicle manufacturer.

Research and development (R&D) expenses, net for the first quarter of 2023, were

$3,119,000, compared to $2,692,000 in the first quarter of 2022. The increase is

attributed mainly to an increase in payroll and related expenses, primarily due to an

increase in engineers within the R&D department. R&D expenses, net in the first

quarter of 2023, are offset by participation from the European Horizon 2020 program

in the amount of $133,000.

Sales and Marketing (S&M) expenses for the first quarter of 2023 were $704,000,

compared to $624,000 in the first quarter of 2022. The increase is primarily

attributed to an increase in exhibitions, conventions and travel expenses.

General and administrative (G&A) expenses for the first quarter of 2023 were

$857,000, compared to $1,188,000 in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease is

primarily attributed to a decrease in payroll and related expenses and to a decrease

in professional services and share-based payments to service providers.

Finance income, net for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023, amounted to $60,000.

Finance income, net, is attributed primarily to gains from revaluation of the

Company's investment in Rail Vision to its fair value in the amount of $122,000, as

well as from interest on deposits in the amount of $210,000, offset by exchange rate

differences and other expenses in the amount of $272,000.

GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2023 was $4,586,000, or $0.014 per ordinary

share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $2,024,000, or $0.006 per ordinary share, in

the first quarter of 2022.

Non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2023 was $4,241,000, or $0.013 per

ordinary share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $1,527,000 in the first quarter of
