The manufacturing process for some of our products largely consists of the assembly, integration and testing of purchased components. If a supplier stops delivery of such components, finding another source could result in added cost and manufacturing delays. Our supply chain may also be exposed to broader risks beyond individual supplier performance, including limited availability of certain specialized or critical components, subcomponents or raw materials, such as electronics, sensors, batteries, semiconductors or materials that may be sourced from a limited number of suppliers or geographic regions.

Risks Related to Our Financial Condition and Capital Requirements
We believe our current cash on hand will not be sufficient to fund our projected operating requirements for a period of twelve months from the issuance of these interim financial statements included in this Quarterly Report. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We believe that our current cash on hand will not be sufficient to fund our projected operating requirements for a period of twelve months from the issuance of our annual financial statements including in this Annual Report. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and could materially limit our ability to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt securities or otherwise. If we cannot continue as a going concern, our investors may lose their entire investment in our securities. Until we can generate significant revenues, if ever, we expect to satisfy our future cash needs through debt or equity financing. 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.
Our limited operating history
makes evaluating the business and future prospects difficult and may increase the risk of your investment. Our operating subsidiary in
Israel was formed in March 2014. To date, we have generated limited revenuesrevenues, andthrough have not yet begun meaningfulour commercialization efforts
with respect to our
products. We intend in the long-term to derive substantial revenues from the sales of the IC Drone, as well as future
models of other
robots and our UAS platforms for both military and civilian use, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to
do so.
We expect that we will need
to raise additional funds to continue the design, manufacture, sale and servicing of the IC Drone and our stabilized robotic technology
as well as develop future robot products and other platforms for the implementation of our robot.products. We believe that we will need to raise
additional capital in the future to fund our research and development and commercialization efforts. If we seek to raise additional capital,
we may do so through the issuance of equity, equity-related, or debt securities or through obtaining credit from government or financial
institutions or other persons. This capital will be necessary to fund ongoing operations, continue research, development and design efforts,
establish a sales infrastructure and make the investments in tooling and equipment required to develop and manufacture our products. Moreover,
the terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of holders of our securities and the issuance of additional
securities, whether equity or debt, by us, or the possibility of such issuance, may cause the market price of our common sharesstock to decline.
The incurrence of indebtedness could result in increased fixed payment obligations, and we may be required to agree to certain restrictive
covenants, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt, limitations on our ability to acquire, sell or license intellectual
property rights and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business. We could also be required
to seek funds through arrangements with collaborative partners or otherwise at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable, and
we may be required to relinquish rights to some of our technologies or product candidates or otherwise agree to terms unfavorable to us,
any of which may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and prospects. Even if we believe that we have sufficient
funds for our current or future operating plans, we may seek additional capital if market conditions are favorable or if we have specific
strategic considerations.
We have limited funds, and
such funds are not fully adequate to fully support our future development and business plans. Our ultimate success may depend on our ability
to raise additional capital. In the absence of additional financing or significant revenues and profits, the Company will have to approach
its business plan from a much different and much more restricted direction, attempting to secure additional funding sources to fund its
growth, borrowing money from lenders or elsewhere or to take other actions to attempt to provideobtain funding.
We expect to derive most of
our immediate future revenues from the civilian sector directly or indirectly from governmental and quasi-governmental customers in the
energy utility sector.
As Technologya productsresult, fromour foreignrevenues countriesmay be concentrated among a relatively limited number of customers, and the loss of, or a material reduction
in business from, any significant customer could have ana inherentdisproportionate disadvantageadverse againsteffect domesticon offerings.our revenues, results of operations and cash
flows. Governmental and quasi-governmental customers are subject to budgeting, appropriations and procurement processes that are inherently
uncertain and may be delayed, reduced or eliminated due to numerous factors, including changes in political leadership, shifting policy
priorities, macroeconomic conditions and geo-political events that are beyond our control. The funding
of government programs could be
reduced or eliminated due to numerous factors, including geo-political events and macro-economic conditions
that are beyond our control.
Reduction or elimination of government spending under our contracts would imperil the sales of our products
and may cause a negative effect
on our revenues, results of operations, cash flow and financial condition.
In addition, our business is subject to heightened regulatory and compliance requirements applicable to government contractors and suppliers to operators of critical infrastructure, including requirements relating to cybersecurity, data protection, export controls, safety certifications, reporting obligations and audit rights. Compliance with these requirements may increase our operating costs, require significant management attention and expose us to fines, penalties, contract termination, suspension or debarment if we fail to comply.
Our contracts with governmental and quasi-governmental customers may also limit our ability to pass through cost overruns, inflationary pressures or other pricing increases, which could adversely affect our margins and profitability.
Political developments, changes in government policy or international relations and heightened sensitivity around defense, security and critical infrastructure technologies may further restrict our ability to compete for contracts or may subject our products and operations to increased scrutiny.
The deployment of our products and technologies in high-risk or mission-critical applications, including critical infrastructure maintenance or security-sensitive environments, may expose us to increased litigation risk, including claims arising from alleged product failures, malfunctions, property damage, personal injury or other adverse events. Defending against such claims could be costly and time-consuming and could result in significant damages, reputational harm or limitations on our ability to deploy our technologies.
Any actual or perceived failure of our products, or adverse publicity related to their use in high-risk environments, could also result in reputational harm that may adversely affect our relationships with customers, regulators and other stakeholders.
A substantial portion of our expected revenues is subject to Israeli export control regulations, and any failure to obtain or maintain required approvals or licenses could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The sale and export of the “Bird of Prey” stabilized weapons drone systems by Elbit are subject to extensive regulation by the Israeli Ministry of Defense (“IMOD”) and other governmental authorities. Israeli law regulates the export of defense-related hardware, software and technology, as well as certain “dual-use” items, and generally requires the receipt of marketing approvals and export licenses prior to offering, selling or exporting covered products. We are required to obtain and maintain applicable IMOD approvals for each relevant transaction, and such approvals may be delayed, conditioned, limited, revoked or not renewed. As a result, our revenues from royalties for sales of the “Bird of Prey” stabilized weapons drone systems through our collaboration with Elbit are highly dependent on Elbit’s continued ability to obtain and maintain the necessary approvals and licenses in a timely manner. Any delay, denial, revocation or non-renewal of required export approvals or licenses, changes in Israeli export policy, geopolitical developments, or heightened regulatory scrutiny could restrict or prevent marketing, selling or delivering of these products to certain customers or in certain jurisdictions.
In addition, non-compliance with applicable export control laws or regulations could result in fines, penalties, suspension or revocation of licenses, criminal liability, reputational harm and restrictions on our ability to conduct future export activities. Any of these outcomes could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The manufacturing process
for some of our products largely consists of the assembly, integration and testing of purchased components. If a supplier stops delivery
of such components, finding another source could result in added cost and manufacturing delays. Our supply chain may also be exposed to
broader risks beyond individual supplier performance, including limited availability of certain specialized or critical components, subcomponents
or raw materials, such as electronics, sensors, batteries, semiconductors or materials that may be sourced from a limited number of suppliers
or geographic regions. Moreover, if our subcontractors fail to
meet their design, delivery schedule or other obligations we could be held
liable by our customers, and we may be unable to obtain full
or partial recovery from our subcontractors for those liabilities. TheIn foregoingaddition,
certain riskscomponents or materials used in our products may be subject to export controls, trade restrictions, tariffs, sanctions or embargoes,
including restrictions related to dual-use technologies, defense-related systems or materials sourced from jurisdictions subject to heightened
regulatory scrutiny. Changes in trade policy, geo-political tensions or the imposition of new sanctions or embargoes could have a material adverse effect onlimit our operatingability
results.to procure components, require us to redesign products, seek alternative suppliers or obtain governmental approvals, any of which could
result in increased costs, production delays or reduced margins.
Supply chain disruptions may also arise from macroeconomic conditions, inflation, labor shortages, transportation constraints, natural disasters or other events beyond our control, which could further impact the availability, quality or cost of components used in our products.
The foregoing risks could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
Any significant growth in
the market for our products or our entry
into new markets may require an expansion of our employee base for managerial, operational, financial,
and other purposes. As of March
12, 20, 2025,2026, we hadhave oneengaged full-time employee, our Chief Executive
Officer, and engage twothree (23) executive officers, our CEO, CTO and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”).CFO. During any period of growth,
we may face problems related
to our operational and financial systems and controls, including quality control and delivery and service
capacities. We would also need
to continue to expand, train and manage our employee base. Continued future growth will impose significant
added responsibilities upon
the members of management to identify, recruit, maintain, integrate, and motivate new employees.
Our success depends significantly
on our ability to protect our proprietary rights to the technologies used in our products. We were granted a patent with the United States
Office Patent and Trademark Office to protect certain of our key technologies, however, we cannot assure you that we will be able to control
all of the rights for all of our intellectual property. We do not know whether any of our future patent applications, if any, will result
in the issuance of any patents. Even issued patents may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. Patents may not provide a competitive
advantage or afford protection against competitors with similar technology. Competitors or potential competitors may have filed applications
for, or may have received patents and may obtain additional and proprietary rights to compoundstechnologies or processes used by or competitive
with with
ours. Both the patent application process and the process of managing patent disputes can be time-consuming and expensive. Competitors
may be able to design around our patents or develop products which provide outcomes which are comparable or may even be superior to ours.
Rapid advances in artificial intelligence, machine learning and automation technologies may further increase competitive pressure and could, over time, enable competitors or third parties to replicate, approximate or otherwise achieve similar functional outcomes to certain aspects of our technologies without infringing our patents or proprietary rights. While we believe that our technology stack is differentiated by its control software, hardware design and system-level engineering, there can be no assurance that advances in AI-driven modeling, simulation or autonomous control systems will not reduce the technological barriers to entry in our markets or diminish the competitive advantage of our proprietary solutions.
In addition, we have taken steps to protect our intellectual property and proprietary technology, including entering into confidentiality agreements and intellectual property assignment agreements with all of our executive officers, employees, consultants and advisors, however, such agreements may not provide meaningful protection for our trade secrets or other proprietary information in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure or other breaches of the agreements. Furthermore, the laws of foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. However, we have not executed confidentiality agreement or non-compete agreements with our third-party suppliers and there is no restriction on their working with our competitors or selling our component designs to other parties. In that regard, we deem our complex kinematic algorithms and control software to be our most valuable intellectual property and is done in-house only with no sub-contractor involved. In that regard, while our complex kinematic algorithms and control software are developed entirely in-house and are not shared with subcontractors, we primarily rely on a combination of trade secret protection, copyright law and contractual confidentiality measures to protect these technologies. Trade secret protection depends on our ability to maintain the secrecy of the underlying information, and may be lost if such information is disclosed, misappropriated or independently developed by third parties. Copyright protection generally protects the expression of software code, but does not prevent others from developing independent software, algorithms or systems that perform similar functions or achieve comparable results.
These forms of protection are subject to inherent limitations and weaknesses, including risks arising from employee turnover, cybersecurity incidents, unauthorized access, reverse engineering, inadvertent disclosure during product deployment or customer support, and the use of third-party components or interfaces. In addition, enforcement of trade secret or copyright rights can be costly, uncertain and time-consuming, particularly in foreign jurisdictions where legal protections and remedies may be more limited. As a result, we may be unable to prevent competitors from replicating or approximating aspects of our proprietary technologies, which could materially adversely affect our competitive position and business.
Significant changes or developments in U.S. laws or policies, including changes in U.S. trade policies and tariffs and the reaction of other countries thereto, may have a material adverse effect on our business and financial statements.
Significant changes or developments in U.S. laws and policies, such as laws and policies surrounding international trade, foreign affairs, manufacturing and development and investment in the territories and countries where we or our customers operate, can materially adversely affect our business and financial statements. Tariffs imposed by the U.S. government, may increase the cost of certain raw materials and components used in our products. If these tariffs remain in place or are expanded, or if new trade restrictions are implemented, our manufacturing costs could increase, which could materially and adversely affect our margins and financial results.
Furthermore, changes in trade policy have increased uncertainty in our industry, and any escalation in trade tensions could disrupt our supply chain, delay production timelines, or require costly modifications to sourcing and logistics strategies. The extent and duration of the tariffs and the resulting impact on general economic conditions and on our business are uncertain and depend on various factors, such as negotiations between the U.S. and affected countries, the responses of other countries or regions, exemptions or exclusions that may be granted, availability and cost of alternative sources of supply, and demand for our products in affected markets.
The sale of our products is subject to various
regulatory requirements of the Israeli Ministry of Defense and will also be subject to regulatory requirements in countries in which we
seek to sell our products.
Due to the fact that we sell
products used that may be purchased in the defense and/ or military industry, and otherwise conduct business with the IMOD, we may be
required to obtain approval from the IMOD with respect to each agreement for the sale of our products. In that regard, we are required
to secure the approval of the IMOD prior to offering the sale of our products to any third party. In addition, we are required to obtain
approvals from the IMOD prior to the execution and performance of any such agreement. If we fail to obtain approvals in the future, if
approvals previously obtained are revoked or expire and are not renewed or if government policies change, our ability to sell our products
and services to customers would be impacted, resulting in a material adverse effect on our business, revenues, assets, liabilities and
results of operations.
Following the Share Exchange,
ourOur current executive officer
and directors hold approximately 22.20%21.38% of the issued and outstanding voting power of the Company’s
outstanding shares. These persons
have a controlling influence in determining the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matters
submitted to our stockholders for
approval, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets,
election of directors, and other significant
corporate actions. As such, our directors and executive officer may have the power, acting
alone or together, to prevent or cause a change
in control; therefore, without their consent we could be prevented from entering into
transactions that could be beneficial to us. The
interests of our executive officer may give rise to a conflict of interest with the Company
and the Company’s shareholders.
In addition, we have a number
of stockholders who are beneficial owners of more than 5% of our outstanding common shares, as of the Effective Time, including one such shareholder
shareholder who beneficially owns approximately 34.37%19.98% of our issued and outstanding shares, and as such, also may have the ability to
prevent us
from entering into transactions that could be beneficial to us and/or other shareholders. In addition, we have one additional non-affiliated
non-affiliated stockholder who beneficially owns more than 5% of our outstanding common shares. Although none of these non-affiliated
stockholders currently
have a controlling influence in determining the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matters submitted
to our stockholders for
approval, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, election of
directors, and other significant
corporate actions, obtaining their vote on certain matters may be necessary to effect certain actions
that our management and directors
otherwise deem to be in the best interests of the Company.
Because we originally became a public company through a reverse merger, we may continue to face challenges in attracting analyst coverage and institutional investor interest.
We originally became a public company through a reverse merger, rather than through a traditional underwritten initial public offering. Companies that enter the public markets through reverse mergers often receive less attention from securities analysts and institutional investors, and such perceptions may persist notwithstanding our uplisting to a national securities exchange. Because no investment bank acted as an underwriter in connection with our becoming a public company, there is no broker-dealer with an inherent incentive to provide research coverage of our company. The absence or limited availability of research coverage may reduce the visibility of our business in the public markets, which could limit investor interest, reduce trading volume and adversely affect the market price and liquidity of our securities. Although our uplisting may increase our visibility and improve access to a broader investor base, there can be no assurance that analysts will initiate or maintain coverage of our company following the uplisting or that we will be able to attract institutional investors.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock, including shares that may be issued upon the exercise or conversion of outstanding securities or become freely tradable under Rule 144, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
Out of the currently 2,252,151 outstanding shares of our common stock of which only 834,681 were registered pursuant to a registration statements on Form S-1 with the SEC on June 5, 2020, the rest of our shares of common stock that are currently outstanding are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Restricted securities may be sold only pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, in compliance with Rule 144, or under another available exemption from registration, and in each case in compliance with applicable state securities laws.
In general, once the applicable holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 are satisfied, a person who is not an “affiliate” of our company and has not been an affiliate during the preceding three months may resell restricted shares without limitation. Affiliates may resell restricted shares in accordance with the volume, manner of sale and other limitations of Rule 144, which, among other things, generally limit the number of shares that may be sold within any three-month period to the greater of 1% of the then-outstanding shares of our common stock or the average weekly trading volume of our common stock on the principal trading market during the four calendar weeks immediately preceding the sale.
If our existing stockholders, particularly our affiliates or significant stockholders, sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception exists that such sales may occur, the market price of our common stock could decline. Any such sales, or the perception that they may occur, could also impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of equity or equity-linked securities in the future.
Sales of our currently issued and outstanding
stock may become freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 and may dilute the market for your shares and have a depressive effect on the price
of the shares of our common stock.
A substantial portion of the
outstanding shares of common stock are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (“Rule 144” and the “Securities Act”, respectively). As restricted shares, these shares may be
resold only pursuant to an effective registration statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions from
registration under the Securities Act and as required under applicable state securities laws. Rule 144 provides in essence that a non-affiliate
who has held restricted securities for a period of at least six (6) months may sell their shares of common stock. Under Rule 144, affiliates
who have held restricted securities for a period of at least six (6) months may, under certain conditions, sell every three months, in
brokerage transactions, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of a company’s outstanding shares of common stock
or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to the sale (the four calendar week rule does not apply to companies
quoted on the OTCQB). A sale under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the Securities Act, if available, or pursuant to subsequent
registrations of our shares of common stock, may have a depressive effect upon the price of our shares of common stock in any active market
that may develop.
The securities issued in connection with
the Share Exchange are restricted securities and may not be transferred in the absence of registration or the availability of a resale
exemption.
The shares of common stock
issued in connection with the Share Exchange were issued in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements under Section
4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. Consequently, these securities are subject to restrictions on transfer under the Securities Act and may
not be transferred in the absence of registration or the availability of a resale exemption. In particular, in the absence of registration,
such securities cannot be resold to the public until certain requirements under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act have been
satisfied, including certain holding period requirements. As a result, a purchaser who receives any such securities issued in connection
with the Share Exchange may be unable to sell such securities at the time or at the price or upon such other terms and conditions as the
purchaser desires, and the terms of such sale may be less favorable to the purchaser than might be obtainable in the absence of such limitations
and restrictions.
Because we may issue preferred stock without the approval of our shareholders and have other anti-takeover defenses, it may be more difficult for a third party to acquire us and could depress our stock price.
In general, our Board may issue, without a vote of our shareholders, one or more additional series of preferred stock that have more than one vote per share, although the Company’s ability to designate and issue preferred stock is currently restricted by covenants under our agreements with prior investors. Without these restrictions, our Board could issue preferred stock to investors who support us and our management and give effective control of our business to our management. Additionally, issuance of preferred stock could block an acquisition resulting in both a drop in our stock price and a decline in interest of our common stock. This could make it more difficult for shareholders to sell their common stock. This could also cause the market price of our common stock shares to drop significantly, even if our business is performing well.
Our principal executive offices and other
significant operations are located in Israel, and, therefore, our results may be adversely affected by political, economic and military
instability in Israel, including the recent2023 attacksattack by Hamas and other terrorist organizations from the Gaza Strip and Israel’s war
against them.
In October 2023, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of attacks on civilian and military targets. Hamas also launched extensive rocket attacks on Israeli population and industrial centers located along Israel’s border with the Gaza Strip and in other areas within the State of Israel. These attacks resulted in extensive deaths, injuries and kidnapping of civilians and soldiers. Following the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war against Hamas and a military campaign against these terrorist organizations commenced in parallel to their continued rocket and terror attacks.
Following Hamas’s attack on Israel, other regional hostilities became more pronounced and evolved into a multi-front war. This included a northern front war between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. As of the end of November 2024, Israel entered into a ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah, but there are no assurances as to whether the agreement will hold or whether further hostilities with Hezbollah will resume. In addition, the Iranian-backed Houthi Movement in Yemen launched direct attacks on Israel involving drones and missiles, and attacked container ships on the Red Sea. Such disruption to our operations previously included certain delays and diversions of the import of certain components for manufacturing and production as a result of reduced air travel and the attacks on container ships on the Red Sea route by the Houthi Movement. However, following the announcement of a ceasefire with Hamas, the Houthi Movement has stated that it will suspend such attacks, so long as the ceasefire with Hamas remains in place, and the immediate risk of further disruption has temporarily decreased.
In April 2024 and October 2024, Iran launched direct attacks on Israel involving hundreds of drones and missiles. On June 13, 2025, in light of continued nuclear threats and intelligence assessments indicating imminent attacks, Israel launched a preemptive strike directly targeting military and nuclear infrastructure inside Iran aimed to disrupt Iran’s capacity to coordinate or launch further hostilities against Israel, as well as disrupt its nuclear program. For 12 days, both sides launched attacks against one another, with Iran targeting civilian infrastructure. As a result of the escalation with Iran, Israel temporarily closed its airspace and ceased all port activity related to commercial shipments. On June 22, 2025, the United States military joined Israel in launching strikes directly targeting nuclear infrastructure in Iran. More recently, in February 2026, hostilities between Israel and Iran escalated again. In late February 2026, the United States and Israel conducted a major joint military campaign of air and missile strikes against targets in Iran, which triggered a broad Iranian response and contributed to significant regional instability. The situation remains highly fluid, and we are unable to predict when, or on what terms, this escalation will be resolved.
Further escalation, whether involving direct confrontation between Israel and Iran or through regional proxy groups, could result in additional mobilization of reserve personnel, further restrictions on movement or commerce, damage to infrastructure, supply chain interruptions, disruptions to global energy markets, and heightened cybersecurity threats. Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect our operations, financial condition, and results of operations, particularly if disruptions are prolonged or recur.
While the intensity and duration of the multi-front conflict have been difficult to predict, the current ceasefire marks a potential shift towards stability in the region. If sustained, this could reduce disruptions to our business and operations, and on Israel’s economy in general. However, if the war resumes or expands to other fronts, our operations may be harmed.
In October 2023, Hamas terrorists
infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of attacks on civilian and military targets. Since
the commencement of these events, there had been additional active hostilities against Israel, including Hezbollah
in Lebanon, the Houthis terrorist group which controls parts of Yemen, and Iran. In October 2024, Israel began ground operations
against Hezbollah in Lebanon culminating in a 60-day cease fire agreed to between Israel and Lebanon on November 27, 2024. On January
27, 2025, the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon was extended to February 18, 2025. On January 19, 2025, a temporary ceasefire between
Israel and Hamas went into effect, the result of which is uncertain. While ceasefire agreements have been reached, there is no guarantee
that the parties will continue to comply with the terms of the agreements and, accordingly, it is possible that these hostilities will
resume with little to no warning and that additional terrorist organizations and, possibly, countries will actively join the hostilities.
Such clashes may escalate in the future into a greater regional conflict.
The economic implications
of the political situation in Israel on the Company’s business and operations and on Israel’s economy in general are difficult to
predict and may be intertwined with wider macroeconomic indications of a deterioration of Israel’s economic standing, which may
have a material adverse effect on the Company and its ability to effectively conduct some of its operations. Additionally, any hostilities
involving Israel or the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its trading partners could adversely affect our operations
and results of operations. Although the Israeli government currently covers the reinstatement value of direct damages that are caused
by terrorist attacks or acts of war, we cannot assure you that this government coverage will be maintained or that it will sufficiently
cover our potential damages. Any losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business. Any armed conflicts
or political instability in the region would likely negatively affect business conditions and could harm our results of operations.
In connection with the Israeli
security cabinet’s declaration of war against Hamas and possible hostilities with other organizations, several hundred thousand
Israeli military reservists were drafted to perform immediate military service. As of March 20, 2025, none of our employees and regular
consultants in Israel have been called from time to time for reserve service but may be called, for service in the current or future wars
or other armed conflicts in connection with the multi-front war that Israel is facing, and such persons may be absent for an extended
period of time. As a result, our operations in Israel may be disrupted by such absences, which disruption may materially and adversely
affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
Further, in the past, the
State of Israel and Israeli companies have been subjected to economic boycotts. Several countries still restrict business with the State
of Israel and with Israeli companies. These restrictive laws and policies may have an adverse impact on our operating results, financial
condition or the expansion of our business. A campaign of boycotts, divestment and sanctions has been undertaken against Israel, which
could also adversely impact our business. Moreover, we cannot predict how this war will ultimately affect Israel’s economy in general,
which may involve additionala downgrade in Israel’s credit rating by rating agencies (such as theMoody’s recent downgrade by Moody’s
of its creditoutlook rating of Israel fromas A2 to Baa1, maintaining its outlook“stable”
and rating “negative”level as Baa1). We may also be targeted by cyber
terrorists specifically because we are an Israeli-related company. In addition, in January 2024 the International Court of Justice, or
ICJ, issued an interim ruling in a case filed by South Africa against Israel in December 2023, making allegations of genocide amid and
in connection with the war in Gaza, and ordered Israel, among other things, to take measures to prevent genocidal acts, prevent and punish
incitement to genocide, and take steps to provide basic services and humanitarian aid to civilians in Gaza. There are concerns that companies
and businesses will terminate, and may have already terminated, certain commercial relationships with Israeli companies following the
ICJ decision. The foregoing efforts by countries, activists and organizations, particularly if they become more widespread, as well as
the ICJ rulings and future rulings and orders of other tribunals against Israel (if handed), may materially and adversely impact our
ability to sell our products outside of Israel.
Prior to the Hamas attack
in October 2023, the Israeli government pursued extensive changes to Israel’s judicial system. In response to the foregoing developments,
individuals, organizations and institutions, both within and outside of Israel, have voiced concerns that the proposed changes may negatively
impact the business environment in Israel including due to reluctance of foreign investors to invest or transact business in Israel as
well as to increased currency fluctuations, downgrades in credit rating, increased interest rates, increased volatility in securities
markets, and other changes in macroeconomic conditions. The risk of such negative developments has increased in light of the recent Hamas
attacks and the multi-front war Israelagainst isHamas facing,declared by Israel, regardless of the proposed changes to the judicial system and the related debate.
To To
the extent that any of these negative developments do occur, they may have an adverse effect on our business, our results of operations
and our ability to raise additional funds, if deemed necessary by our management and board of directors.
We incur expenses in U.S.
dollarsdollars, Euro and NIS, but our financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars. The U.S. dollar is our functional currency. However,
as as
we also incur expenses in NIS,NIS and Euro, we are affected by foreign currency exchange fluctuations through both translation risk and
transaction transaction
risk. As a result, we are exposed to the risk that the NIS may appreciate relative to the dollar, or, if the NIS instead devalues
relative relative
to the dollar,dollar or the Euro, that the inflation rate in Israel may exceed such rate of devaluation of the NIS, or that the timing
of such devaluation
may lag behind inflation in Israel. In any such event, the dollar cost of our operations in Israel would increase
and our dollar-denominated
results of operations would be adversely affected.
Our operations may be disrupted as a result
of the obligation of management or key personnel to perform military service.
Our employees and consultants
in Israel, including members of our senior management, may be obligated to perform one month, and in some cases longer periods, of military
reserve duty until they reach the age of 40 (or older, for citizens who hold certain positions in the Israeli armed forces reserves) and,
in the event of a military conflict, may be called to active duty. In response to increases in terrorist activity, there have been periods
of significant call-ups of military reservists. It is possible that there will be similar large-scale military reserve duty call-ups in
the future. Our operations could be disrupted by the absence of a significant number of our officers, directors, employees and consultants.

AEROTRACE™ integrates aerial data capture with software-driven analytics, including AI-assisted image analysis, to help identify areas of interest and potential anomalies across large-scale and distributed infrastructure assets. AEROTRACE™ is designed to be deployed as a standalone monitoring solution and may also complement our existing robotic IC Drone services by informing maintenance planning and prioritization. The introduction of AEROTRACE™ reflects our ongoing efforts to expand its technology portfolio beyond robotic hardware to include data- and intelligence-driven solutions.
On February 18, 2025, we announced
that we established Duke Greece, a wholly owned subsidiary which is focused on expanding our innovative IC Drone technology in Greece.
Our innovative IC Drone technology provides utility companies with a safer, more efficient, and environmentally sustainable solution for
maintaining high-voltage electric infrastructure as well as potential other applications of our technologies and capabilities. The subsidiary
is expected to facilitate market expansion, strategic partnerships, and additional revenue streams in Greece. While we anticipate initial
setup and operational costs, we believe this investment will drive long-term growth.
Revenues. We had $377,000 in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we had $108,000 in revenues. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to the expansion of our IC Drone service operations, following the successful launch of the full cleaning season in May 2025. During 2024, the Company commenced its cleaning operations midway through the season, which limited revenue generation for that period. The increase in revenue was partially offset by temporary disruptions to our regular business operations during the third quarter of 2025, resulting from the ongoing military operations in the Gaza Strip. Revenues also reflect the initial recognition of revenues from royalties derived from sales of the “Bird of Prey” stabilized weapons drone systems, through our Collaboration Agreement with Elbit, which contributed for the first time to our revenues, while the majority of the revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 continued to be generated from our IC Drone service activities.
Revenues. We had $108,000
in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we had $300,000 in revenues. The
revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023 were derived from our earlier August 2022 collaboration and development agreement
with IEC to provide drone-enabled systems for high-voltage insulator washing, which we successfully
completed during October 2023. The revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024, were derived from our August 2024 commercial
agreement for high-voltage insulator washing services with the IEC. These services to IEC are seasonal in their nature (spring to fall
seasons) and revenues derived from the 2024 agreement commenced during the mid-season, in August 2024.
Cost of revenues. During
the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, we had $71,000$198,000 in cost of
revenues expenses, compared to $273,000$71,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023. 2024.

This Management Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). In connection with the preparation
of our financial statements, we wereare required to make assumptions and estimates about future events and apply judgments that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments
on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial
statements are prepared. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure
that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, because future events and their effects
cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.

Since inception, we have devoted
substantially allmost our efforts to research and development and have incurred accumulated losses of $11,162,000.$12,403,000.
As of December 31, 2024,2025, we had a cash balance
of $1,256,000$750,000 compared to a cash balance of $2,281,000$1,256,000 as of December 31, 2023.2024. The reason for the decrease in our cash balance was mainly
due to the operating expenses describedescribed above. This balance excludes $275,000 received in January 2026 under our December 30, 2025, Securities
Purchase Agreement.
Cash used in operations for
the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, was $918,000$811,000 as compared to cash used in operations of $548,000$918,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023.2024.
The reason for the increasedecrease in cash used in operations is mainly related to the increase in our

On May 11, 2021, we entered
into securities purchase agreements with
eight (8) non-U.S. Investors,investors, pursuant to which we, in a private placement offering, agreed to
issue and sell to investors an aggregate
of: (i) 12,500,000500,000 shares of our Common Stock at a price of $0.40$10.00 per share; and (ii) warrants
to purchase 12,500,000500,000 of our Common Stock.
The warrants were exercisable immediately and for a term of 18 months and have an exercise
price of $0.40$10 per share. The aggregate gross
proceeds from the offering were approximately $5,000,000 and the offering closed on May
11, 2021. On April 5, 2022, we entered into an
agreement with the Investors pursuant to which we extended the term of the warrants, to
expire on November 11, 2023. On November 1, 2023,
we and the Investors executed a second extension agreement, such that the term of the
warrants was extended to expire on November 11,
2024. On June 20, 2024, we entered into a Warrant Amendment Agreement with the Investors
to amend the terms of the warrants issued in
connection with the May 11, 2021 securities purchase agreements. Under the Warrant Amendment
Agreement, we and the Investors agreed to:
(i) extend the warrant exercise term to May 11, 2026; (ii) amend the warrant exercise price,
increasing it from $0.40$10.00 per share to $0.65 $16.25
per share; and (iii) include a beneficial ownership blocker that limits the exercise of such
warrants if the exercise would result in
the holder beneficially owning more than 19.99% of the Company’s common stock immediately
following the exercise. On March 10, 2026,
we entered into an additional Warrant Amendment Agreement with the Investors pursuant to which we extended the term of the warrants, to
expire on May 1, 2031.
On December 30, 2025, we entered into securities purchase agreements with seven (7) non-U.S. investors, pursuant to which we, in a private placement offering, agreed to issue and sell to the investors an aggregate of: (i) 83,338 shares of our common stock at a price of $9.00 per share); and (ii) warrants to purchase 83,338 shares of common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $16.25 per share, are exercisable immediately and expire on November 30, 2026, subject to extension to May 30, 2028 if a public offering or other qualifying financing of at least $2,500,000 has not occurred prior to such date. In addition, the securities purchase agreement contains a make whole provision that provides for the investors to receive additional shares of Common Stock in the event that we consummates a firm-commitment underwritten public offering on a major stock exchange by November 30, 2026 at a price per share (after giving effect to a 20% discount) that is less than the Purchase Price. The aggregate gross proceeds from the offering were approximately $750,000 and the offering closed on January 6, 2026. Proceeds from the offering were used for general corporate purposes and working capital, including supporting our operational and commercialization initiatives. On March 10, 2026, we entered into an additional Warrant Amendment Agreement with the Investors pursuant to which we extended the term of the warrants, to expire on May 1, 2031.
Since our incorporation, we incurred losses from operations and net cash outflows from operating activities as reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows. As of December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $12,403,000, and we expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future. We have historically financed our operations primarily through fundraising from various investors and the revenues that were generated from our operations to date were not sufficient to cover our losses. As a result, we remain dependent upon external sources to finance our operations. There can be no assurance that we will succeed in obtaining the necessary financing to continue our operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern through at least twelve months from the date of this Annual Report.
We currently believe that our existing capital resources will be sufficient to support our operating plan at least through the fourth quarter of 2026. To support our planned growth, strategic initiatives and general working capital needs, we will likely seek to raise additional capital through the issuance of debt, equity, or a combination thereof. There can be no assurance we will be successful in raising additional capital on favorable terms, or at all.
Although we are actively pursuing opportunities to increase revenues, including the potential expansion of commercial sales in additional jurisdictions, some of these efforts remain at an early stage while other initiatives have progressed to more advanced stages of discussion. However, because none of these initiatives have resulted in binding agreements or firm commitments, there can be no assurance that any of them will materialize within our expected timeframes. If we are unable to successfully proceed with these initiatives, our need for additional capital may accelerate.
As a result, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may be required to reduce the scope of our operations, delay or discontinue development activities, limit our manufacturing or commercial expansion plans, or take other actions that could materially harm our business, financial condition, and operating results. If we obtain additional funds by selling any of our equity, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution, or the equity securities may have rights preferences or privileges senior to the common stock. If we issue debt securities, there may be negative covenants which may restrict our company’s activities. If adequate funds are not available to our company when needed on satisfactory terms, we may be required to cease operating or otherwise modify our business strategy. The financial statements included in this Annual Report do not include adjustments for measurement or presentation of assets and liabilities, which may be required should we fail to operate as a going concern.
We believe that we have sufficient
cash to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. Readers are advised that available resources may be consumed more rapidly
than currently anticipated, resulting in the need for additional funding sooner than expected. Should this occur, we will need to seek
additional capital earlier than anticipated in order to fund (1) further development and, if needed (2) expenses which will be required
in order to expand manufacturing of our products, (3) sales and marketing efforts and (4) general working capital. Such funding may be
unavailable to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Our failure to obtain such funding when needed could create a negative impact on our
stock price or could potentially lead to the failure of our company. This would particularly be the case if we are unable to commercially
distribute our products and services in the jurisdictions and in the timeframes we expect.

On August 15, 2022, Duke Israel introduced the Insulator Cleaning (“IC”) Drone, a drone technology for conducting routine maintenance of critical infrastructure, and has signed an agreement with Israel Electric Corporation Ltd. (the “IEC”) to provide drone-enabled systems for cleaning electric utility cable insulators. During October 2023, we completed our obligations under the agreement with the IEC. This was followed in August 2024, by a new agreement with the IEC to utilize our innovative IC Drone system for cleaning electric utility cable insulators. On May 12, 2025, we announced the successful commencement of our 2025 insulator cleaning activity in Israel with the IEC under our previously announced service agreement. On June 10, 2025, we announced the launch of our next-generation IC Drone System - the ICDS2 - representing a significant technological advancement in our innovative utility maintenance drone solution. The ICDS2 features several key technological advancements over its predecessor, featuring extended flight time, higher payload capacity, enhanced stability, advanced radar and improved cleaning durability. It has been successfully deployed at the start of the insulator cleaning season in May 2025, marking a full-season operational timeline compared to 2024’s mid-season commencement. On June 2, 2026, we announced the successful commencement of our 2026 IC Drone season with the IEC, under the expanded service agreement. The 2026 cleaning season is being executed with a materially broader operational footprint than any prior season, encompassing a substantially larger volume of high-voltage insulators serviced and an increased number of active field crews deploying the Company’s ICDS2.

if any. On May 15, 2026, the Underwriter partially exercised its over-allotment option with respect to Warrants to purchase 168,750 shares
of common stock.

Following the March 2026 amendment extending the term of those warrants to May 2031, the warrant liability was remeasured upward during the first quarter of 2026, resulting in a mark-to-market loss. Upon completion of the Company's May 2026 underwritten public offering, the warrants were remeasured a final time and reclassified from liability to equity, resulting in a mark-to-market gain in the second quarter that partially offset the first-quarter loss.

placement offering, agreed to issue and sell to the investors an aggregate of: (i) 83,338 shares of our common stock at a price

are exercisable immediately and expire on November 30, 2026, subject to extension to May 30, 2028 if a public offering or other qualifying
financing of at least $2,500,000 has not occurred prior to such date. In addition, the securities purchase agreement contains a make
whole provision that provides for the investors to receive additional shares of Common Stock in the event that we consummatesconsummate a firm-commitment
underwritten public offering on a major stock exchange by November 30, 2026 at a price per share (after giving effect to a 20% discount)
that is less than the Purchase Price. The aggregate gross proceeds from the offering were approximately $750,000 and the offering closed

operational and commercialization initiatives. On March 10, 2026, we entered into an additional Warrant Amendment Agreement with the

the closing of the Offering, to purchase up to an additional 168,750 shares of common stock and/or Warrants to purchase 168,750 shares
of common stock to cover over-allotments, if any. On May 15, 2026, the Underwriter partially exercised its over-allotment option with
respect to Warrants to purchase 168,750 shares of common stock.
As a result of the Offering, we issued 22,595 shares of common stock as a result of the make whole provision contained in the warrants issued to investors in the December 2025 private placement.
