Exhibit 99.1

ForesightAnnounces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2019 Financial Results
NESS ZIONA, Israel — March 12, 2020 — Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd., an innovator in automotive vision systems (Nasdaq and TASE: FRSX), today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2019. Foresight ended the fourth quarter of 2019 with $10.1 million in cash and short-term deposits.
The Company reported GAAP net loss of $4.37 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, and non-GAAP net loss for the same period of $4 million.
“Foresight completed 2019 with a series of positive developments, as our QuadSight^®^vision system continued to gain commercial interest as well as award recognition,” said Haim Siboni, Foresight’s CEO. “Through our continued use of technological demonstrations and prototype system sales, we have introduced new capabilities to the QuadSight system in accordance with the needs and requests of our potential customers. We believe that a closer evaluation our unique technology by potential customers may lead to future collaborations in integration and production, as well as additional orders and proof of concept projects. Our successful performance is also demonstrated in the accomplishments of our subsidiary, Eye-Net Mobile Ltd., and our affiliate, Rail Vision Ltd., as we continue to develop technological advancements across multiple markets. Both Eye-Net Mobile and Rail Vision achieved significant technological progress in the fourth quarter of 2019, and we believe that both companies can expect commercial agreements in 2020.”
