−Removed: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
−Removed: following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere
−Removed: in this report and the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” above.
−Removed: Technologies, Inc.
−Removed: (“Novint”, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, “us”) was
−Removed: originally incorporated in the State of New Mexico in April 1999.
−Removed: On February 26, 2002, the Company changed its state of incorporation
−Removed: to Delaware by merging with Novint Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation.
−Removed: This merger was accounted for as a reorganization.
−Removed: Company currently is engaged in the development and sale of 3D haptics products and equipment.
−Removed: Haptics refers to one’s sense
−Removed: Our focus is in the consumer interactive computer gaming market, but we conduct project work in other non-gaming areas
−Removed: principal product is the Falcon, an extensible, grounded (e.g., desktop), three-dimensional (3D) haptic interaction device with
−Removed: characteristics optimized for real-time force-feedback and tactile interaction.
−Removed: Additionally, we have developed but not yet commercialized
−Removed: the Xio product, a next generation, full arm, game controller with forced feedback.
−Removed: Currently, we are focused on engaging in discussions
−Removed: with potential partners and studying other ways to realize value from the Falcon and Xio products.
−Removed: ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
−Removed: of Estimates and Assumptions
−Removed: preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
−Removed: requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
−Removed: of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
−Removed: during the reporting period.
−Removed: The most significant estimates and assumptions made in the preparation of the financial statements
−Removed: relate to accrued royalties and contingent consideration.
−Removed: Actual results could differ from those estimates.
−Removed: and Cash Equivalents
−Removed: Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
−Removed: Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”)
−Removed: up to federally insured limits.
−Removed: At times, balances may exceed FDIC insured limits.
−Removed: The Company has not experienced any losses
−Removed: in such accounts.
−Removed: and Cost Recognition
−Removed: May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
−Removed: 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), and has since issued amendments thereto (collectively referred
−Removed: to as “ASC 606”).
−Removed: The core principle of ASC 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer
−Removed: of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled
−Removed: in exchange for those goods or services, and the guidance defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle.
−Removed: The five-step
−Removed: process to achieve this principle is as follows:
−Removed: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations
−Removed: in the contract(s), (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations
−Removed: in the contract(s), and (v) recognize revenue when, or as, the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
−Removed: ASC 606 also mandates
−Removed: additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from customer contracts,
−Removed: including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract.
−Removed: from product sales relates to the sale of the Falcon haptics interface, which is a human-computer user interface and related accessories.
−Removed: The Falcon allows the user to experience the sense of touch when using a computer, while holding its interchangeable handle.
−Removed: Falcons are manufactured by an unrelated party.
−Removed: Revenue from product sales is recognized when the products are shipped to the
−Removed: customer and the Company has earned the right to receive and retain reasonable assured payments for the products sold and delivered.
−Removed: Consequently, if all these revenue from product sales requirements are not met, such sales will be recorded as deferred revenue
−Removed: until such time as all revenue recognition requirements are met.
−Removed: the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company did not purchase any production materials or sell any products.
−Removed: Company accounts for its income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”.
−Removed: The method of accounting
−Removed: for income taxes under ASC 740 is an asset and liability method which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities
−Removed: for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.
−Removed: method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets
−Removed: and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
−Removed: assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will
−Removed: not be realized.
−Removed: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income
−Removed: in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
−Removed: The effect on deferred tax assets and
−Removed: liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Statements of Operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
−Removed: Value of Financial Instruments
−Removed: Company follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
−Removed: for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and to measure the fair value of its financial instruments.
−Removed: FASB ASC establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into
−Removed: three broad levels.
−Removed: The three levels of fair value hierarchy are described below:
−Removed: Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
−Removed: Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable
−Removed: as of the reporting date.
−Removed: Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.
−Removed: assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or
−Removed: similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
−Removed: carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, including cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable,
−Removed: accrued expenses and related liabilities, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
−Removed: OF OPERATIONS
−Removed: Ended December 31, 2022 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2021
−Removed: Ended December 31,
−Removed: the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company did not earn any revenue.
−Removed: During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company earned
−Removed: revenue of $2,568 from Falcon sales.
−Removed: Ended December 31,
−Removed: Expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, were $178,736 and $172,870, respectively, an increase of $5,866 or 3%.
−Removed: The increase was primarily due to an increase in professional fees relating to regular filings with the SEC.
−Removed: Ended December 31,
−Removed: expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, were $14 and $207, respectively, a decrease of $193 or 93%.
−Removed: was primarily due to a decrease in finance charges of $193 in 2022.
−Removed: Ended December 31,
−Removed: loss for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, were $178,750 and $170,509, respectively, an increase of $8,241.
−Removed: was primarily due to an increase in operating expenses.
−Removed: We expect to continue to incur expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable
−Removed: Our net loss may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year.
−Removed: impact of inflation upon our revenue and income / (loss) from operations during each of the past two fiscal years has not been
−Removed: material to our financial position or results of operations for those years.
−Removed: and Capital Resources
−Removed: has evaluated whether there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and has determined that substantial
−Removed: doubt exists as of the date of this filing.
−Removed: This determination is based on the following:
−Removed: the Company has incurred recurring losses
−Removed: and at December 31, 2022, had an accumulated deficit of $41,803,380 and a working capital deficit of $723,856 and sustained a
−Removed: net loss of $178,750 for the year ended December 31, 2022.
−Removed: In the opinion of management, these factors, among others, raise substantial
−Removed: doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
−Removed: The Company’s continuation as a going concern is contingent upon
−Removed: its ability to obtain additional financing and to generate revenue and cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis.
−Removed: Company will continue to seek additional funding through debt or equity financing during the next twelve months.
−Removed: While the Company
−Removed: believes in the viability of generating revenues from the sale of its products and in its ability to raise additional funds, there
−Removed: can be no assurances to that effect.
−Removed: financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction
−Removed: of liabilities in the normal course of business.
−Removed: Flow Activities
−Removed: of December 31, 2022, we had a total cash balance of $55,081.
−Removed: Our cash flow from operating activities for the fiscal year ended
−Removed: December 31, 2022 resulted in net cash used in operating activities of $130,854 compared with net cash used in operating activities
−Removed: of $136,097 for the previous year ended December 31, 2021.
−Removed: We did not have any cash flow from investing activities or financing
−Removed: activities for the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2021.
−Removed: do not currently have fixed contractual obligations or commitments that include future estimated payments.
−Removed: Sheet Arrangements
−Removed: do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial
−Removed: condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital
−Removed: resources that is material to our investors.
−Removed: We have no guarantees or obligations other than those that arise out of our ordinary
−Removed: business operations.
−Removed: Accounting Standards
−Removed: Item 15 — Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for a discussion
−Removed: of recent accounting standards.
−Removed: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
−Removed: are a smaller reporting company.
−Removed: Accordingly, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

+Added: Condition and Results of Operations.
+Added: Management’s Discussion
+Added: and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is designed to provide a reader of our financial
+Added: statements with a narrative from the perspective of management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain
+Added: other factors that may affect future results.
+Added: In certain instances, parenthetical references are made to relevant sections of the Notes
+Added: to Financial Statements to direct the reader to a further detailed discussion.
+Added: This section should be read in conjunction with the Financial
+Added: Statements and Supplementary Data included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
+Added: This MD&A contains forward-looking statements
+Added: reflecting our current expectations, whose actual outcomes involve risks and uncertainties.
+Added: Actual results and the timing of events may
+Added: differ materially from those stated in or implied by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed
+Added: in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” contained
+Added: in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
+Added: Unless the context otherwise
+Added: requires, references in this MD&A to “Dror,” “we”, “us”, “our”, and the “Company”
+Added: are intended to refer to (i) following the Share Exchange (as defined below), the business and operations of Dror Ortho-Design, Inc.
+Added: and its consolidated subsidiaries, and (ii) prior to the Share Exchange, Dror Ortho-Design Ltd.
+Added: (the predecessor entity and currently
+Added: wholly owned subsidiary of Dror Ortho-Design, Inc.).
+Added: All dollar amounts in this
+Added: registration statement refer to U.S.
+Added: dollars unless otherwise indicated.
+Added: We were incorporated as Novint Technologies, Inc.
+Added: in the State of New
+Added: Mexico in April 1999.
+Added: On February 26, 2002, we changed our state of incorporation to Delaware by merging with Novint Technologies, Inc.,
+Added: a Delaware corporation.
+Added: On July 5, 2023, we entered into a share exchange agreement with the shareholders of Dror Ortho-Design, Ltd.
+Added: Dror”), pursuant to which the shareholders of Private Dror agreed to exchange all of their outstanding ordinary shares Private Dror
+Added: for shares of our Common Stock and convertible preferred stock (the “Share Exchange”).
+Added: On August 14, 2023 the Share Exchange
+Added: was consummated and we changed our name to “Dror Ortho-Design, Inc.”
+Added: Following the Share Exchange,
+Added: we succeeded to the business of Private Dror as its sole line of business.
+Added: The Share Exchange is being accounted for as a recapitalization,
+Added: with Private Dror deemed to be the accounting acquirer and the Company the acquired company.
+Added: Accordingly, Private Dror’s historical
+Added: financial statements for periods prior to the consummation of the Share Exchange have become those of the Company.
+Added: Operations reported
+Added: for periods prior to the Share Exchange are those of Private Dror.
+Added: We have reimagined the way
+Added: people can correct their smile.
+Added: We plan to disrupt the aligner
+Added: market by offering millions of people a revolutionary alternative.
+Added: We believe that people do not need to change their lifestyle to correct
+Added: their smile as they are required to do with existing aligner solutions.
+Added: Existing aligner solutions
+Added: generally share the same treatment principles, which are different from our solution.
+Added: In most cases, patients seeking to improve their
+Added: smile need to undergo a 12-to-15 month process of wearing plastic aligners, which need to be worn the entire day and should only be removed
+Added: while eating or drinking.
+Added: Patients are prescribed a series of 20 to 30 aligners that are intended to forcefully move teeth progressively
+Added: closer to their intended final position.
+Added: This process causes pain every time a new aligner is used and restricts blood circulation, which
+Added: counterproductively slows down tooth movement.
+Added: All-day aligner solutions are also intrusive, as patients need to conduct their lives at
+Added: work or school wearing the plastic aligners.
+Added: In addition, most existing aligner therapies require multiple visits to an orthodontist to
+Added: monitor the progress of treatment plans through intraoral scanning, physical examination and patient testimony.
+Added: We believe that recent rapid
+Added: advancements in technology have made traditional aligner solutions no longer the most effective treatment option for smile correction.
+Added: Our Company has developed a proprietary AI-based platform to correct people’s smiles in a discreet and less painful manner (the
+Added: The Platform uses only one smart aligner to gently move teeth into their optimum position with pulsating air
+Added: while the patient is sleeping or at home.
+Added: We are involved in the research
+Added: and development of an orthodontic alignment platform.
+Added: We have several patents for the technology used in the Platform and is currently
+Added: in the process of preparing the prototype for FDA approval.
+Added: Our predecessor first generation
+Added: Aerodentis System is a Class II medical device, which was cleared by FDA for commercialization in the U.S.
+Added: pursuant to the 510(k) notification
+Added: process for movement and alignment of teeth during orthodontic treatment of malocclusion in April 2020.
+Added: The Company is preparing to apply
+Added: for 510(k) clearance for the Platform as a Class II medical device, which constitutes an updated version of the currently cleared device.
+Added: Such updated Platform contains new and/or different components than the original device, which is why a new 510(k) clearance is required
+Added: prior to marketing the Platform in the U.S.
+Added: We have not yet filed a 510(k) submission for the Platform, and it has, thus, not been found
+Added: by the FDA to be substantially equivalent to the first generation Aerodentis System.
+Added: The Company currently does
+Added: not generate revenues to fund operations and anticipates that it will continue to incur significant losses as it continues to develop
+Added: the Platform.
+Added: Please refer to “Risk Factors - We are in the development stage, are not generating revenues and have no operating
+Added: history in the manufacturing and distribution of orthodontic medical devices or platforms for consumer use.” for additional information.
+Added: The Company intends to spend approximately $2.5 million over the next 18 months on software and hardware development as well as the accompanying
+Added: regulatory approvals and IP protection associated with such software and hardware projects.
+Added: Share Exchange
+Added: As discussed above, on July
+Added: 5, 2023, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (as amended by that certain Amendment to Share Exchange Agreement, dated August 14,
+Added: 2023, the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Private Dror and all shareholders of Private Dror.
+Added: Pursuant to the Share Exchange
+Added: Agreement, on August 14, 2023, the shareholders of Private Dror transferred all of their ordinary shares in Private Dror to us in exchange
+Added: for 7,576,999 newly issued shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred
+Added: Stock”), and 106,782,187 shares of our Common Stock.
+Added: As a result of these share exchanges, Private Dror became a wholly owned subsidiary
+Added: of the Company.
+Added: Pursuant to the terms and
+Added: conditions of the Share Exchange Agreement:
+Added: ● The shareholders of Private Dror transferred 235,088 ordinary
+Added: shares of Private Dror to us in exchange for 7,576,999 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 106,782,187 shares of Common
+Added: Stock (the “Share Exchange”).
+Added: ● In connection with the Share Exchange, we assumed all of Private
+Added: Dror’s obligations under Private Dror’s outstanding share options.
+Added: ● All outstanding Series A-4 Warrants to purchase Private Dror’s
+Added: ordinary shares were assumed by the Company and converted into Share Exchange Warrants (as defined below).
+Added: ● Simultaneously with the Share Exchange, the board of directors
+Added: and certain officers of the Company resigned, and a new board of directors, comprised of Private Dror’s legacy board of directors,
+Added: and new officers were appointed for the Company.
+Added: The Company’s new board of directors consists of Eliyahu (Lee) Haddad, Chaim Hurvitz,
+Added: Moshe Shvets, Chaim Ravad and Yehuda Englander.
+Added: In addition, immediately following the Share Exchange, Mr.
+Added: Haddad was appointed as the
+Added: Company’s chief executive officer, Mr.
+Added: Shvets as Chief Technology Officer, and Mr.
+Added: Hurvitz as chairman of the board of directors.
+Added: Private Placement
+Added: In connection with the closing
+Added: of the Share Exchange, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company sold (1) the Private Placement Shares and shares of Series A Preferred
+Added: Stock, or a combination thereof, at an effective purchase price of $0.011 per Private Placement Share or share of Common Stock underlying
+Added: such shares of Series A Preferred Stock and (2) Private Placement Warrants to the Private Placement Investors in connection with the Private
+Added: The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $5,025,000 in connection with the first closing of the Private Placement on
+Added: August 14, 2023 and an additional $200,000 in connection with a second closing of on September 13, 2023.
+Added: The Company and the Private
+Added: Placement Investors also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to register, among other registrable
+Added: securities, on Form S-1 (or, if the Company is then eligible, on Form S-3) with the SEC:
+Added: (i) the Private Placement Shares, (ii) Conversion
+Added: Shares issuable in connection with the Purchase Agreement, (iii) the shares of Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants
+Added: issued to the Private Placement Investors, and (iv) the shares of Common Stock and Conversion Shares underlying the shares of Series A
+Added: Preferred Stock issued to the investors in the December 2021 Transaction in connection with the Share Exchange.
+Added: The Company filed a registration
+Added: statement on Form S-1 covering the aforementioned securities with the SEC on February 9, 2024.
+Added: Going Concern
+Added: We have experienced net losses
+Added: and negative cash flows from operations since our inception.
+Added: As of December 31, 2023, we had cash of approximately $3.3 million, positive
+Added: working capital of $3.2 million, an accumulated deficit of approximately $13.7 million and used cash in operations during the twelve months
+Added: ended December 31, 2023 of approximately $2.4 million.
+Added: The Company does not currently have sufficient available liquidity to fund its
+Added: operations for at least the next 12 months.
+Added: Such factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to sustain operations for at least
+Added: one year from the issuance of the audited financial statements included in this Annual Report.
+Added: The accompanying financial statements do
+Added: not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that
+Added: might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
+Added: In response to these conditions
+Added: and events, we are evaluating various financing strategies to obtain sufficient additional liquidity to meet our operating and capital
+Added: requirements for the next twelve months following the date of this Annual Report.
+Added: The potential sources of financing that we are evaluating
+Added: include one or any combination of secured or unsecured debt, convertible debt and equity in both public and private offerings.
+Added: plan to finance near-term operations with our cash on hand, as well as by exploring additional ways to raise capital.
+Added: There is no assurance
+Added: we will manage to raise additional capital or otherwise increase cash flows, if required.
+Added: The sources of financing described above that
+Added: could be available to us and the timing and probability of obtaining sufficient capital depend, in part, on our further developing and
+Added: commercializing the Platform and on future capital market conditions.
+Added: If our current assumptions regarding the pace of such development
+Added: are incorrect, or if there are any other changes or differences in our current assumptions that negatively impact our financing strategy,
+Added: we may have to reduce expenditures or significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development or commercialization of the Platform.
+Added: Results of Operations
+Added: Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022

+Added: Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
+Added: The SEC defined a company’s
+Added: critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations
+Added: and which require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that
+Added: are inherently uncertain.
