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.

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
