Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act and other securities laws. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” and similar expressions or variations of such words are intended to identify forward-looking statements. For example, the Company is using forward-looking statements when it discusses the closing of the offerings. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based upon management’s current expectations, beliefs and projections, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain. Such expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith. However, there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs and projections will be achieved, and actual results may differ materially from what is expressed in or indicated by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. For a more detailed description of the risks and uncertainties affecting the Company, reference is made to the Company’s reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including, but not limited to, the risks detailed in the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on March 23, 2023. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements: Rail Vision’s ability to increase sales and revenue, its burn rate, and its ability to continue as a going concern. To date, the Company has not generated significant revenues from activities and has incurred substantial operating losses. Such conditions raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s management’s plan includes raising funds from existing shareholders and/or outside potential investors. However, there is no assurance such funding will be available. The report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm on its audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, subsequent events or circumstances, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. If the Company does update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that the Company will make additional updates with respect thereto or with respect to other forward-looking statements.
