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.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources.

 

Overview

 

Since our inception through June 30, 2019, we have funded our operations principally with approximately $50,385 from the issuance of Ordinary Shares and exercise of warrants and options, net of issuance costs. As of June 30, 2019, we had approximately $16,327 in cash and cash equivalents and short-term bank deposits.

 

The table below presents our cash flows for the periods indicated:

 

U.S. dollars in thousands  Six months ended June 30, 
   2019   2018 
Operating activities   (5,706)   (5,120)
Investing activities   208    (1,912)
Financing activities   6,521    6,494 
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents   (134)   (615)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents   889    (1,153)

 

Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities of approximately $5,706 during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily used for payment of subcontracted work, salaries and related personnel expenses, payments for professional services and travel, patent, directors’ fees, rent and other miscellaneous expenses.

 

Net cash used in operating activities of approximately $5,120 during the six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily used for payment of subcontracted work, salaries and related personnel expenses, payments for professional services and travel, patent, directors’ fees, rent and other miscellaneous expenses.

Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2019 consisted of approximately $6,521 of net proceeds from the issuance of Ordinary Shares.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2018 consisted of approximately $6,494 primarily provided from net proceeds from the issuance of Ordinary Shares of approximately $5,485, from exercise of warrants and options of approximately $159 and from receipt on account of shares of approximately $850. During the first half of 2019 we completed a private placement of our Ordinary Shares pursuant to which we raised a total of approximately $1,000. In March 2019, we completed a public offering of our ADSs pursuant to which we raised a total of approximately $5,521, net of issuance expenses.

 

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 January 2011. Since January 2011, we have not generated any 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, 2019, our cash and cash equivalents including short-term bank deposits were approximately $16,327. We expect that our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term bank deposits will be sufficient to fund our current operations in the foreseeable future; 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.

 

Until we can generate significant recurring revenues, we expect to satisfy our future cash needs through debt or 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. This may raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.
