 Safe Harbor Statement  This presentation, as well as other written or oral statements made from time to time, includes “forward-looking statements,” within the meaning of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the “Exchange Act.” Forward-looking statements are not based on historical information and include, without limitation, statements regarding our future financial condition and results of operations, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events. The words “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “project,” “estimate” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions made by us or our officers that, although believed to be reasonable, are subject to certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely as compared to those contemplated or implied by such forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements involve risks, assumptions and uncertainties. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictors of future events. The occurrence of the events described, and the achievement of the expected results, depend on many events, some or all of which are not predictable or within our control. Actual results may differ materially from expected results. These risks, assumptions and uncertainties are not all of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. Other known as well as unknown or unpredictable factors also could harm our results. All of the forward-looking statements we have included in this presentation are based on information available to us on the date of this presentation. We undertake no obligation, and specifically decline any obligation, to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this presentation might not occur.Any reference to financial projections in this presentation, if any, are for illustrative purposes only and are based upon certain hypothetical assumptions, which we believe are reasonable as of the date of this Presentation. The selection of assumptions requires the exercise of judgment and is subject to uncertainty due to the effect that economic or other changes may have on future events. The assumptions used for the projections in this Presentation, if any, are those we believe to be most significant to the projections.

 Rail Technologies Under Development   THE FUTURE OF RAIL TECHNOLOGIES uses algorithms to build analytical models, helping computers “learn” from data through deep learning and neural network modeling. Images collected from the Rail Inspection Portal are applied to custom requirements for automated mechanical, FRA safety and security criteria.  Automated detections through neural network algorithms and modelingNeural networks are computer programs assembled from millions of artificial brain cells that learn and behave in a similar way to human brainsThe system processes information by their response to external inputs, much like the way the human brain worksIt sees an object and then interprets that object. Over time it learns from what it sees    20  Product     Automated track intrusion detection for transit passenger rail platforms for transit     Intelligent grade crossing security    High speed thermal vehicle undercarriage examiner    Automation of pantograph inspection
