Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our principal executive officer
and principal financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Exchange
Act) Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, have concluded that, based on such evaluation,
our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that
we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s
rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange
Act. Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with GAAP, including those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately
and fairly reflect our transactions and the disposition of our assets, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded
as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP and that receipts and expenditures are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and board of directors, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the
consolidated financial statements.
50
Because of its inherent limitations,
internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness
to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate.
Management evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting based on the 2013 framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting
was not effective as of December 31, 2023.
During the year ended December
31, 2023, management identified the following weaknesses, which were deemed to be material weaknesses in internal controls:
1.
Due to the size of the Company and available resources, there are limited personnel to assist with the accounting and financial reporting function, which results in a lack of segregation of duties.
2.
The Company does not have Chief Financial Officer that can oversee day to day operations and the financial reporting function.
This Annual Report does not
include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s
report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act, which permits us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our
internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2023 that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Directors and Executive Officers
Information concerning our directors and executive officers is set
forth below. The biographical description of each director includes the specific experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that
led the Board to conclude that such person should serve as a director.
Eliyahu (Lee) Haddad
Mr. Haddad has served as our
Chief Executive Officer and director since December 2021. Mr. Haddad is a multi-disciplinary finance and technology expert, with extensive
senior level operational experience in raising capital, growing complex business models, and guiding startups and later stage companies
to successful exits. Prior to his employment at Dror, Mr. Haddad served as Chief Executive Officer of HFT Investments from 2007 through
2021. He also served as a Senior Adviser at Exceed Talent Capital between 2019 and 2023. Over the course of his 30-year career, Mr. Haddad
has structured and managed a number of technology and media transactions valued at an aggregate of over $85 billion, including $250 million
in transactions within the Israeli high-tech space in AI, medical technology, and cybersecurity. Mr. Haddad received a bachelor’s
degree in economics and philosophy from Columbia University, where he was the recipient of the National Science Foundation Award in Theoretical
Physics and started his career in the M&A subgroup of Morgan Stanley’s media and technology group for several years. We believe
that Mr. Haddad’s extensive business experience qualifies him to serve as a member of our Board.
Moshe Shvets
Mr. Shvets has served as a
director and as our Chief Technology Officer since July 20, 2020. Mr. Shvets has also served as a Senior Vice President since December
1, 2021. Mr. Shvets is a seasoned senior executive with 25 years of experience in building companies with over €250M yearly revenues
that involve complex instrumentation & processes, regulation, software, and global infrastructure. Prior to joining Dror, Mr. Shvets

Shvets received a bachelor’s degree from Saint Petersburg State University in Aerospace Instrumentation in 1999. We believe that
Mr. Shvets’s extensive experience commercializing new technologies qualifies him to serve as a member of our Board.
Chaim Hurvitz
Mr. Hurvitz has served as
a director and Chairman of our Board since January 17, 2012. Mr. Hurvitz has founded and has served as a chief executive office of C.H.
Health, a healthcare focused venture capital firm since May 2011. His investments through CH Health have included several successful exits
including the NASDAQ IPOs of Galmed Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (NASDAQ: GLMD) (“Galmed”) and UroGen Pharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: URGN) (“UroGen”).
He was previously a member of Teva’s senior management, serving as the President of Teva International Group from 2002 through 2010,

a B.A. in political science and economics from Tel Aviv University in 1985. We believe that Mr. Hurvitz’s extensive management experience
in the healthcare industry qualifies him to serve as a member of our Board.

Chaim Ravad
Mr. Ravad has served as a
director since February 2015. Mr. Ravad has experience in food catering and real estate industries. In his capacity as our director, Mr.
Ravad has served as a major contributor to the development of Dror’s teeth straightening product from its early stages and until
receipt of FDA and CE approval and has in the past successfully assisted in securing private investments in our Company. Mr. Ravad is
a graduate of Hebron Yeshiva.
Yehuda Englander
Mr. Englander has served as
a director since December 6, 2021. Mr. Englander is a co-founder of YYE ALEY SHLECHT ASSETS LTD. and YE RUT Finance Ltd. Prior to that,
Mr. Englander led Yehuda Englander Finance Advisory Ltd. for four years. Mr. Englander received a B.A. in Accounting from Lev Academic
Center at Jerusalem College of Technology. We believe that Mr. Englander’s extensive investment experience qualifies him to serve
as a member of our Board.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
None of the members of the
Board or our executive officers has, in the last ten years, been involved in any legal proceeding of the type described under Item 103I(2)
or Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K.
Director Independence
Our Common Stock is quoted
on the OTC Pink Market operated by the OTC Markets Group Inc., which does not have director independence requirements. We also have not
established our own definition for determining whether our director and nominees for directors are “independent” nor have
we adopted any other standard of independence employed by any national securities exchange.
We expect our Board, in the
future, to appoint an audit committee, nominating committee and compensation committee, and to adopt charters relative to each such committee.
We intend to appoint such persons to committees of the Board as are expected to be required to meet the corporate governance requirements
imposed by a national securities exchange, although we are not required to comply with such requirements until we elect to seek a listing
on a national securities exchange. In addition, we intend that a majority of our directors will be independent directors, of which at
least one director will qualify as an “audit committee financial expert,” within the meaning of Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation
S-K, as promulgated by the SEC. We do not currently have an “audit committee financial expert” since we currently do not have
an audit committee in place.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships
among our directors or executive officers.
Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Exchange
Act requires our directors and executive officers and each person who owns more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities
(collectively, “Reporting Persons”) to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership
of our Common Stock and our other equity securities. Reporting Persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all
Section 16(a) forms that they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of the forms received by us during the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2023 and written representations that no other reports were required, we believe that each person who, at any time during
such fiscal year, was a director, officer or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of our common stock complied with all Section 16(a)
filing requirements during such fiscal year with the following exceptions: (1) Mr. Haddad, Mr. Englander, Mr. Shvets, and Mr. Ravad
filed Form 3s on September 27, 2023, disclosing their becoming Reporting Persons in connection with the closing of the Share Exchange
on August 14, 2023 and (2) Mr. Haddad, Mr. Hurvitz, Mr. Shvets, and Mr. Ravad filed Form 4s on September 27, 2023, disclosing
the acquisition of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and warrants to purchase Common Stock on August 14, 2023.
53
Insider Trading Arrangements and Policies; Code of Ethics
We intend to adopt insider
trading policies and procedures and a code of ethics that will apply to our officers, directors and employees, including our principal
executive officer and principal accounting officer, but have not done so to date due to our relatively small size. We intend to adopt
written insider trading policies and procedures and a written code of ethics in the near future.
Director Nominations by Security Holders
Our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) contain
provisions that address the process by which a stockholder may nominate an individual to stand for election to our board of directors
(the “Board”). To recommend a nominee for election to the Board, a stockholder must submit his or her recommendation to our
Secretary at our corporate offices at Shatner Street 3, Jerusalem, Israel. Such nomination must satisfy the notice, information and consent
requirements set forth in our Bylaws and must be received by us prior to the date set forth under “Submission of Future Stockholder
Proposals” in our most recent proxy statement. A stockholder’s recommendation must be accompanied by the information with
respect to stockholder nominees as specified in our Bylaws, including among other things, the name, age, address and occupation of the
recommended person, the proposing stockholder’s name and address, the ownership interests of the proposing stockholder and any beneficial
owner on whose behalf the nomination is being made (including the number of shares beneficially owned, any hedging, derivative, short
or other economic interests and any rights to vote any shares) and any material monetary or other relationships between the recommended
person and the proposing stockholder and/or the beneficial owners, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is being made.
Item 11. Executive Compensation.
The following table sets forth
summary compensation information for the respective fiscal years. For the purpose of this prospectus, our “named executive officers”
or “NEOs” are our principal executive officer (“PEO”), Mr. Haddad, and our sole non-PEO executive officer, Mr.

Narrative Disclosure Regarding Summary Compensation Table
Our Board reviews compensation
annually for all employees, including named executive officers. In making compensation determinations, the Board considers compensation
for comparable positions in the market and with peer companies, the historical compensation levels of executives, individual performance
as compared to the board’s expectations and objectives, the board’s desire to motivate employees to achieve short- and long-term
results that are in the best interests of our stockholders and a long-term commitment to our Company.
Annual Base Salaries
Base salaries for the executive
officers are initially established through arm’s-length negotiations at the time of the executive officer’s hiring, taking
into account such executive officer’s qualifications, experience, the scope of his or her responsibilities and competitive market
compensation paid by other companies for similar positions within the industry and geography. Base salaries are reviewed periodically,
typically in connection with our annual performance review process, and adjusted from time to time to realign salaries with market levels
after taking into account individual responsibilities, performance and experience. In making decisions regarding salary increases, we
may also draw upon the experience of members of the Board with executives at other companies.
Bonus Compensation
For 2023, our named executive
officers are not eligible to receive a discretionary annual bonus based on individual and company performance. During fiscal year 2022,
Messrs. Haddad and Shvets earned discretionary bonuses as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table above.
Equity-Based Incentive Awards
Our equity-based incentive
awards are designed to align our interests and those of our stockholders with those of our employees and consultants, including our named
executive officers. We have historically used stock options as incentives for long-term compensation to the named executive officers as
the return on such awards is tied to an increase in our stock price. We may grant equity awards at such times as our Board determines
appropriate in their discretion. Additional grants may occur periodically in order to incentivize executives with respect to achieving
certain corporate goals or to reward them for exceptional performance. See “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End”
below for additional information regarding outstanding equity awards held by our named executive officers as of December 31, 2023.
Employment Agreements
Eliyahu (Lee) Haddad
On December 6, 2021, Private
Dror entered into an employment agreement (the “Haddad Employment Agreement”) with Mr. Haddad to serve as Private Dror’s
chief executive officer. Pursuant to this employment agreement, Mr. Haddad is entitled to a monthly salary (including all social benefit
payments provided under Israeli law) of $22,256. Mr. Haddad is also entitled to an annual bonus based on achievement of objectives and
Board’s approval. In connection with his employment agreement, Mr. Haddad was granted options to purchase five percent (5%) of our
fully diluted Ordinary Shares issued and issuable on the date of the employment agreement, which options shall vest in three tranches
on the first, second, and third anniversary of the date of the employment agreement. The options are subject to accelerated vesting upon
the achievement by us of certain performance milestones. We cannot terminate Mr. Haddad’s employment not for “cause,”
and in circumstances constituting “cause,” we may terminate the agreement effective immediately. Mr. Haddad can terminate
the agreement for convenience upon 30 days written notice, and may terminate the agreement immediately for “good reason.”
If Mr. Haddad’s employment is terminated without cause, or Mr. Haddad resigns for good reason, he is entitled to twelve month’s
salary.
Following the closing of the
Share Exchange, the Board appointed Mr. Haddad to the office of Chief Executive Officer on the terms of the Haddad Employment Agreement.

his employment agreement, Mr. Shvets is entitled to a monthly gross salary of NIS 32,000. Mr. Shvets is also entitled to certain social

56
Equity Incentive Plans
2021 Share Incentive Plan
Prior to the Share Exchange,
Private Dror adopted the Dror 2021 Share Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), which provides for the granting of stock options,
restricted stock, restricted stock units, and other stock-based awards to employees, directors, officers, consultants, and advisors of
Private Dror or its affiliates. Under the 2021 Plan, 51,482 ordinary shares of Private Dror were initially reserved for issuance as awards,
and stock options covering up to 44,365 ordinary shares of Private Dror (which were exchanged for stock options covering approximately
163,142,084 shares of Common Stock in connection with the Share Exchange) are outstanding as of the date hereof. No other type of equity
award is currently outstanding under the 2021 Plan. As further described below, upon the closing of the Share Exchange, any stock options
outstanding under the 2021 Plan were converted into stock options under the Dror Ortho-Design, Inc. 2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the
“2023 Plan”). The 2021 Plan is filed as Exhibit 10.9 to the registration statement on Form S-1 of which this prospectus forms
a part.
2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan
On August 14, 2023, our Board
adopted the 2023 Plan. Under the 2023 Plan, we reserved 235,958,571 shares of our Common Stock for issuance as awards to our key employees,
key contractors, and non-employee directors and those of our subsidiaries, of which 100% may be delivered pursuant to incentive stock
options. A form of the 2023 Plan is filed as Exhibit 10.10 to the registration statement on Form S-1 of which this prospectus forms a
part.
The 2023 Plan currently consists
of the primary plan document that governs all awards granted under the 2023 Plan for eligible U.S. employees, contractors, and non-employee
directors who are subject to U.S. income taxation and a sub-plan annex designated for the purpose of grants of equity awards to eligible
Israeli employees, officers, and contractors of the Company and its affiliates who are subject to Israeli income taxation.
Upon the closing of the Share
Exchange, we became the sponsor of the 2021 Plan, and all outstanding stock option awards previously granted under the 2021 Plan will
be converted into awards under the 2023 Plan. Thus, all outstanding options to purchase ordinary shares of Dror (which are converted into
options to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, as amended) were converted to options
to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company.
The purpose of the 2023 Plan
is to provide an incentive to attract and retain the services of key employees, key contractors, and non-employee directors of the Company
and its subsidiaries and to provide such persons with a proprietary interest in the Company through the granting of awards. The 2023 Plan
will be administered by our Board or a committee of the Board (the “Committee”) consisting of two or more members. At any
time there is no Committee to administer the 2023 Plan, any reference to the Committee is a reference to the Board. The Committee will
determine the persons to whom awards are to be made, determine the type, size and terms of awards, interpret the 2023 Plan, establish
and revise rules and regulations relating to the 2023 Plan, and make any other determinations that it believes necessary for the administration
of the 2023 Plan. The Committee may delegate certain duties to one or more officers of the Company as provided in the 2023 Plan. Unless
terminated earlier by our Board, the 2023 Plan will expire on August 14, 2033. No awards may be made under the 2023 Plan after its expiration
date, but awards made prior thereto may extend beyond that date.
The 2023 Plan provides for
the granting of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units,
performance awards, dividend equivalent rights, and other awards which may be granted singly, in combination, or in tandem, and which
may be paid in cash or shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Awards granted pursuant to the 2023 Plan will be evidenced by a written
award agreement. The Committee will determine the terms of each award at the time of grant, including, without limitation, the number
of shares subject to such award, the term of the award, the exercise price to be paid for the award (if applicable), the vesting and forfeiture
conditions, the methods by or forms in which shares will be delivered to participants, the price to be paid for the award (if any), and
any other terms and conditions applicable to such award.
To date, no awards have been
granted pursuant to the 2023 Plan, other than the awards that were previously granted pursuant to the 2021 Plan and will be converted
into an award under the 2023 Plan, as described above.
57
The Board may, at any time
and from time to time, without the consent of the participants, alter, amend, revise, suspend or discontinue the 2023 Plan in whole or
in part; provided, however, that (i) no amendment that requires shareholder approval in order for the 2023 Plan and any awards granted
thereunder to continue to comply with Sections 421 and 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (including
any successors to such sections, or other applicable law) or any applicable requirements of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation
system on which the Company’s Common Stock is listed or traded, shall be effective unless such amendment is approved by the requisite
vote of the Company’s shareholders entitled to vote on the amendment; and (ii) unless required by law, no action by the Board regarding
amendment or discontinuance of the 2023 Plan may adversely affect any rights of any participant or obligations of the Company to any participant
with respect to any outstanding award under the 2023 Plan without the consent of the affected participant.
Commitments to Grant Stock Options
In addition to the stock option
awards to be granted in substitution of stock options currently outstanding under the 2021 Plan, we currently have a commitment to issue
options to purchase up to 0.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock to Mr. Haddad, contingent on the Company achieving certain market
capitalization targets. We anticipate issuing these options pursuant to the 2023 Plan at such time as the Company has a sufficient number
of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock.

The options are subject to accelerated vesting upon an exit event.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director
Independence.
In addition to the compensation
arrangements discussed under “Executive Compensation,” the following is a description of transactions since January 1, 2022
to which we have been a party, in which the amount involved exceeds or will exceed the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average
of the Company’s total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which any of our directors, executive
officers or beneficial owners of more than 5% of our capital stock, or an affiliate or immediate family member thereof, had or will have
a direct or indirect material interest. We also describe below certain other transactions with our directors, executive officers and stockholders.
We believe that we have executed
all of the transactions set forth below on terms no less favorable to us than we could have obtained from unaffiliated third parties.
It is our intention to ensure that all future transactions between us and our officers, directors and principal stockholders and their
affiliates are approved by our audit committee, once it has been formed and its members appointed, and a majority of the members of our
Board, including a majority of the independent and disinterested members of our Board, and are on terms no less favorable to us than those
that we could obtain from unaffiliated third parties.
Indemnification Agreements and Directors’ and Officers’
Liability Insurance
We have entered into separate
indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers, in addition to indemnification provided for in our Amended Charter
and our Bylaws. Each indemnification agreement provides for indemnification and advancement by the Company of certain expenses and costs
relating to claims, suits, or proceedings arising from service to the Company or, at its request, service to other entities to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law. We also maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Dror Ortho-Design, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets of Dror Ortho-Design, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of
operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred
to as the “Financial Statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years
then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The financial statements are presented on a going
concern basis. As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has not yet generated any material revenues, has suffered
recurring losses from operations with an accumulated deficit of $13,730,705 as of December 31, 2023, and is dependent upon external sources
for financing its operations. There is no assurance that profitable operations, if achieved, could be sustained on a continuing basis.
Further, the Company’s future operations are dependent on the success of the Company’s efforts to raise additional capital,
its research and commercialization efforts, regulatory approvals, and ultimately the market acceptance of the Company’s products.
There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising these funds. These financial statements do not include adjustments
that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. The Company is exploring additional fundraising opportunities.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our
audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”)
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged
to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond
to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
F- 2
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below
are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to
the board of directors and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) are especially
challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the
financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions
on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Share Exchange Transaction – Refer to Note 1 of the financial
statements
Description of critical audit matter
As described in Note 1 to the financial statements,
the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Dror Ortho-Design, Ltd., (“Private Dror”). Pursuant to the agreement,
100% of the outstanding equity capital of Private Dror was exchanged for shares of common and preferred stock of the Company, so that
the Private Dror’s shareholders were issued common and preferred shares in the amount that resulted in them holding 56.1% of the
total voting rights in the Company. In addition, the Company raised $5,225,000 as part of a private placement funding, and warrants and
options exercisable by its terms to Private Dror’s shares were exchanged to the Company. As a result of the transaction, Private
Dror became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures used to address the accounting
for the share exchange transaction included the following:
1. We obtained and reviewed the share exchange agreement and other related agreements and documents to evaluate
the Company’s application of relevant accounting standards to the transaction.
2. We reviewed the Company’s determination who the legal and accounting acquirer and acquiree were.
3. We reviewed the accounting treatment of the modification of warrants and options .
4. We evaluated the accuracy and completeness of the Company’s presentation of the share exchange agreement
in the financial statements, including evaluating whether disclosures were in accordance with relevant accounting standards.
As a result of the audit procedures applied, we reached
the conclusion that the Share Exchange Transaction was accounted for correctly in the financial statements as of December 31, 2023.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2021.

DROR ORTHO-DESIGN INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation
Organization
The Company was incorporated as Novint Technologies,
Inc. in the State of New Mexico in April 1999. On February 26, 2002, the Company changed its state of incorporation to Delaware by merging
with Novint Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation. On August 14, 2023, following a share exchange agreement, the Company changed
its name from “Novint Technologies, Inc.” to “Dror Ortho-Design, Inc.”. Following the Share Exchange (as defined
below), the Company succeeded the business of Dror Ortho-Design, Ltd. (“Private Dror”) as its sole line of business. The Company
is involved in the research and development of an orthodontic alignment platform and has not yet reached the sales stage for its product.
The Company’s stock is quoted on the OTC
Pink Market under the symbol “DROR.”
Reverse Recapitalization
On July 5, 2023, Private Dror entered into a share exchange agreement
with the Company and on August 14, 2023 the share exchange was consummated (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the
Share Exchange, the shareholders of Private Dror exchanged all 235,089 of their outstanding shares of common stock, for 106,782,187 shares
of the Company’s Common Stock and 7,576,999 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the terms of the
Share Exchange, the Company raised $ 5,225,000 as part of a private placement funding, and the private placement investors received 186,363,631
shares of common stock and 2,886,364 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. As a result, Private Dror became a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company and the Private Dror shareholders hold 56.1 % of the Company’s common stock equivalents based on the common and preferred
shares received in the Share Exchange.
The Share Exchange is being accounted for as a
recapitalization, with Private Dror deemed to be the accounting acquirer, and the Company the accounting acquiree. Accordingly, Private
Dror’s historical financial statements for periods prior to the consummation of the Share Exchange have become those of the registrant.
Assets and liabilities and the historical operations reported for periods prior to the Share Exchange are those of Private Dror other
than equity items. All references to common stock, preferred stock, share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect
the reverse recapitalization as if the transaction had taken place as of the beginning of the earliest period presented.
Pursuant to the Share Exchange, the Company issued
shares of its common stock and preferred stock to Private Dror’s stockholders, at an exchange ratio of 3,677.27 shares of the Company’s
common stock.
As of August 14, 2023 the fair value of the net
liabilities of the Company was $ 793,497 , which was recorded as Additional Paid-In Capital as part of the Share Exchange.
Going Concern and Management’s Plans
The financial statements are presented on a going
concern basis. The Company has not yet generated any material revenues, has suffered recurring losses from operations with an accumulated
deficit of $ 13,730,705 as of December 31, 2023, and is dependent upon external sources for financing its operations. There is no assurance
that profitable operations, if achieved, could be sustained on a continuing basis. Further, the Company’s future operations are
dependent on the success of the Company’s efforts to raise additional capital, its research and commercialization efforts, regulatory
approvals, and ultimately the market acceptance of the Company’s products. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful
in raising these funds. These financial statements do not include adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
The Company is exploring additional fundraising opportunities.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements for the
years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S.
GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
As the Company completed a reverse recapitalization
on August 14, 2023, the financial information for the periods prior to the reverse recapitalization reflect those of Private Dror. From
August 14, 2023 forward, the financial information presented is the consolidated financial information of the Company and its subsidiary.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates or assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting periods. Actual results could vary from those estimates. Management utilizes various other estimates, including but not limited
to accrued royalties, accrued expenses, the valuation of stock-based compensation, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and
other contingencies. The results of any changes in accounting estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which
the changes become evident. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period
that they are determined to be necessary.
F- 8
Functional Currency
The Company accounts for foreign currency transactions
pursuant to ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”. The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiary is the United States
Dollar (“US$”) as the U.S. dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. The accompanying
financial statements have been expressed in US$. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated
into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated
in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the
balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statements of operations. The exchange rate of the US Dollar
to the Israeli Shekel was 3.627 and 3.519 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Cash
The Company’s cash is held with financial
institutions in the United States and Israel. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s cash are
financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these investments. Account balances held in the Unites
States may, at times, exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limit. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company
had $ 145,168 and $ 643,658 , respectively, in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had $ 2,935,078
and $ 144,399 , respectively, in Israeli financial institutions, which is uninsured. The Company has not experienced any losses in such
accounts with these financial institutions.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight–line method on the various asset classes, which currently
consists of office equipment over their estimated useful lives of seven years when placed in service. The cost of repairs and maintenance
is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition.
Research and Development
The Company expenses all research and development costs as they are
incurred. Research and development includes expenditures in connection with in-house research and development as well as proprietary products
and technology, and includes salaries and related costs, consulting fees, and professional services.
Share–based compensation
The Company applies ASC 718-10, “Share-
Based Payment,” which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expenses for all share-based payment awards made
to employees and directors including employee stock options under the Company’s stock plans and equity awards issued to non-employees
based on estimated fair values.
ASC 718-10 requires companies to estimate the
fair value of equity-based option awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The fair value of the award is recognized
as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods in the Company’s statement of operations.
The fair value of an option award is estimated on the date of grant
using the Black–Scholes option valuation model. The Black–Scholes option valuation model requires the development of assumptions
that are inputs into the model. These assumptions are the expected stock volatility, the risk–free interest rate, the expected life
of the option, the dividend yield on the underlying stock and the expected forfeiture rate. Since the Company does not have sufficiant
historical data regarding its volatility of its common stock, the expected volatility used is based on volatility of similar publicly
listed companies in comparable industries. Risk–free interest rates are calculated based on continuously compounded risk–free
rates for the appropriate term.
Determining the appropriate fair value model and
calculating the fair value of equity–based payment awards require the input of the subjective assumptions described above. The assumptions
used in calculating the fair value of equity–based payment awards represent management’s best estimates, which involve inherent
uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the
asset-and-liability method in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized
for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities
and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. The effect on the deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rate is recognized in the period that includes the enactment
date. A valuation allowance is recorded if it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized in future periods.
F- 9
The Company follows the guidance in ASC Topic
740-10 in assessing uncertain tax positions. The standard applies to all tax positions and clarifies the recognition of tax benefits in
the financial statements by providing for a two-step approach of recognition and measurement. The first step involves assessing whether
the tax position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination based upon its technical merits. The second step involves measurement
of the amount to be recognized. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit
that is greater than 50 % likely of being realized upon ultimate finalization with the taxing authority. The Company recognizes the impact
of an uncertain income tax position in the financial statements if it believes that the position is more likely than not to be sustained
by the relevant taxing authority. The Company will recognize interest and penalties related to tax positions in income tax expense. As
of both December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no unrecognized uncertain income tax positions.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance
with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face
of the income statement. Basic loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing the loss for the period applicable to common shareholders,
by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed
by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and, if dilutive, potential common
shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon exercise
of common stock equivalents such as stock options, warrants and convertible debt instruments. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded
from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. As a result, the basic and diluted per share amounts for all periods presented
are identical.
For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022,
the Company incurred net losses which cannot be diluted; therefore, basic and diluted loss per common share is the same. Each Series A
Preferred Stock is convertible into 100 shares of Common Stock, and is included in the table as if converted. As of December 31, 2023
and 2022, shares issuable which could potentially dilute future earnings were as follows:

Reclassification
General and administrative expenses totaling $ 127,453
and $ 19,908 for the year ended December 31, 2022 were reclassified to research and development and share-based compensation, respectively,
to conform with current year presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13,
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU2016-13”), as amended by ASU 2019-10. ASU 2016-13 will change
how companies account for credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade receivables, loans and held-to-maturity
debt securities, companies will be required to recognize an allowance for credit losses rather than reducing the carrying value of the
asset. ASU2016-13 is effective for the Company for the annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2023. The Company adopted this guidance
for the year ended December 31, 2023, however there was no impact to the financial statements.

Note 6 – Founders claim accrual:
The Company recorded a provision in respect of
a claim made against Private Dror by its founders. The claim related to amounts claimed as a repayment of loan balances and other amounts
including salary and benefit related balances. In January 2023, Private Dror signed an agreement with the founders, settling all-outstanding
claims at $ 240,000 which included amounts representing the repayment of a loan, reimbursement of expenses and an amount for pain and suffering.
In addition, the agreement stipulated the transfer back of all shares held by the founders to the Private Dror for no additional consideration.
The settlement was paid in the first quarter of 2023. In addition, the agreement stipulated the transfer back of all shares ( 330,952,906
ordinary shares with par value of NIS 0.0001 ), held by the founders to the Company.
Note 7 – Accrued royalties
Accrued royalties related to the Company’s licensing agreements
with various parties that provided gaming software to the Company. These licensing agreements contain obligations to pay royalty fees
ranging from 5 % to 50 % of either gross or net revenue, and a flat fee per end user of $ 0.50 , subject to an obligation to pay minimum annual
royalties of $ 50,000 as specified in the licensing agreements. As part of the Share Exchange, the Company assumed accrued royalties in
the amount of $ 714,194 , and accrued an additional $ 6,438 subsequent to the Share Exchange. As the statute of limitations for the collection
of the royalties had passed, the Company retired the royalty accrual amounting to $ 720,632 during the fourth quarter of 2023 and ceased
to accrue any further amounts.
Note 8 – Accrued severance:
Under Israeli law, companies are required to make
severance payments to terminated Israeli employees. The severance reserve is calculated based on the employee’s last salary and
period of employment. A portion of the severance pay and pension obligation is covered by payment of monthly premiums to insurance companies/
policies under approved plans and to pension funds. The deposits presented in the balance sheet include profits accumulated to the balance
sheet date. The amounts funded as above are not reflected in the balance sheet since they are not under the control and management of
the Company.
A portion of employee severance payments are subject to the terms of section 14 of the Israeli Severance Pay Law, 1963, according to which the Company’s current deposits in pension funds and/or in policies in insurance companies exempt it from any additional undertaking towards employees, for which the aforementioned amounts were deposited.
F- 11
Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies
The Company partially financed their research
and development expenditures under grant programs sponsored by the Israel Innovation Authority (“IIA”) of the Ministry of
Economy and Industry (formerly the Office of Chief Scientist) for the support of research and development activities conducted in Israel.
At the time the grants were received from the IIA, successful development of the related projects was not assured. In exchange for participation
in the programs by the IIA, the Company agreed to pay 3 % of total sales of products developed within the framework of these programs.
The royalties will be paid up to a maximum amount equaling 100 % of the grants provided by the IIA, linked to the dollar, bearing annual
interest at a rate based on LIBOR. Beginning from January 1, 2024 the rate will be adjusted to SOFR (Secured Over Financing Rate). The
obligation to pay these royalties is contingent on actual sales of the products, and in the absence of such sales payment of royalties
is not required. In some cases, the Government of Israel’s participation (through the IIA) is subject to export sales or other conditions.
The maximum amount of royalties is increased in the event of production outside of Israel. The current contingent royalty obligation as
of December 31, 2023 and 2022 is approximately $ 1.12 and $ 1.08 million, respectively.
From time to time in the normal course of business,
the Company may be subject to routine litigation incidental to its business. Although there can be no assurances as to the ultimate disposition
of any such matters, it is the opinion of management, based upon the information available at this time, that there are no matters, individually
or in the aggregate, that would have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of the Company.
War in Israel
In October 2023, Israel was attacked by a terrorist
organization and entered a state of war. As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, the war in Israel is ongoing and continues
to evolve. The Company’s research and development activities are located in Israel. Currently, such activities in Israel remain
largely unaffected. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the impact of this war on the Company’s results of operations and financial
condition was immaterial. Management will continue to monitor the effect of the war on the Company's financial position and results of
operations.
Note 10 – Stockholders’ Equity
All references to common stock, share and per
share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse recapitalization as if the transaction had taken place as of the
beginning of the earliest period presented.
Common Stock
On January 4, 2024, the Company filed its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which provided for the number of authorized
shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share, to be increased from 500,000,000 to 3,254,475,740 . All issued
shares of common stock are entitled to vote on a 1 share/1 vote basis . The Company had 495,454,546 and 437,735,093 shares of common stock
issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Holders of our common stock have no preemptive,
redemption, conversion or subscription rights. No sinking fund provisions are applicable to our common stock. Upon liquidation, dissolution
or winding-up, holders of our common stock are entitled to share in all assets remaining after payment of all liabilities and the liquidation
preferences of any of our outstanding shares of preferred stock. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding shares
of preferred stock, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our
board of directors out of our assets which are legally available. Such dividends, if any, are payable in cash, in property or in shares
of capital stock.
As part of the Private Dror founders claim settlement
agreement (see Note 6), 330,952,906 shares of common stock were returned to the Private Dror in February 2023. These shares were initially
classified as Treasury Stock and were retired as part of the Share Exchange Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange, the
Company raised $ 5,225,000 as part of a private placement funding, $ 5,025,000 from a first closing on August 14, 2023 and an additional
$ 200,000 from a second closing on September 13, 2023. The private placement investors received 186,363,631 shares of common stock and
2,886,364 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
Transaction expenses relating to the private placement
funding and for the Share Exchange totaled $ 571,796 , and are offset against the proceeds in Additional Paid-In Capital recorded as part
of the private placement funding and the Share Exchange.
Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue up to 12,500,000 shares
of $ 0.0001 par value non-redeemable preferred stock. As of December 31, 2022, 7,576,999 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were
outstanding. During the third quarter of 2023, as a result of the private placement funding, 2,886,364 shares of Series A Preferred Stock
were issued to investors.
The following is a summary of the principal terms
of the Series A Preferred Stock as set forth in the Certificate of Designation.
Conversion
The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into
common stock at any time at a conversion price of $ 0.011 , or 100 shares of Common Stock for each share of Preferred A Stock, subject to
adjustment for certain anti-dilution provisions set forth in the Series A Certificate of Designation. Upon conversion the shares of Series
A Preferred Stock will resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock of the Company.
Dividends
The holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be
entitled to dividends, on an as-if converted basis, equal to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of common stock,
when and if actually paid.
F- 12
Voting Rights
The shareholders of Series A Preferred Stock are
entitled to vote with holders of the Company’s common stock, on all matters that such holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote
upon, in the same manner and with the same effect as the holders of Common Stock, voting together with the holders of Common Stock as
a single class. Each share of Preferred Stock shall entitle the shareholder to cast that number of votes per share of Preferred Stock
equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Preferred Stock is convertible (after giving effect to certain
limitations on conversion, as applicable). As long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company may not, without
the approval of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (a) alter or change the powers, preferences
or rights given to the Series A Preferred Stock, (b) alter or amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the Series
A Certificate of Designation, or our amended and restated bylaws in such a manner so as to materially adversely affect any rights given
to the Series A Preferred Stock, (c) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends, redemption or distribution of assets
upon a Liquidation (as defined below) senior to the Series A Preferred Stock, or (d) enter into any agreement to do any of the foregoing.
Liquidation
Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up
of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), the then holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are
entitled to receive out of the assets available for distribution to stockholders of the Company the same amount that a holder of common
stock would receive if the Series A Preferred Stock were fully converted (disregarding for such purposes any conversion limitations hereunder)
to common stock which amounts shall be paid pari passu with all holders of common stock..
Warrants
Prior to the Share Exchange, there were 510,794,865 warrants to purchase
Common shares held by Private Dror shareholders. Pursuant to the warrant terms, 20,960,439 warrants expired as a result of the Share Exchange.
On August 14, 2023, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 489,834,426 shares of Common Stock to Private Dror shareholders
in exchange for their outstanding warrants and warrants to purchase up to 456,818,176 shares of Common Stock to the private placement
investors in respect of their investment, in addition to warrants to purchase up to 18,181,817 shares of Common Stock issued to private
placement investors in a subsequent closing on September 13, 2023. The warrants expire five years from the initial exercise date
and are exercisable at an exercise price of $ 0.033 per share. The initial exercise date was dependent on the authorization of additional
Common shares which occurred on December 28, 2023. The warrants contain provisions that protect their holders against dilution by adjustment
of the purchase price in certain events such as stock dividends, stock splits and other similar events.
If at the time of the warrant’s exercise
there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the shares of common stock
underlying the warrant, then the holder will have the right to exercise warrant by means of a cashless exercise. In addition, if (i) the
volume-weighted average price of our common stock for 20 consecutive trading days is at least 300 % of the exercise price of the warrants,
(ii) the dollar trading volume of our common stock for each trading day within such 20-day trading period equals or exceeds $ 500,000 ,
(iii) a registration statement providing for the resale of the private placement shares is effective and such registration statement
has been effective for six (6) months, (iv) the holder of the warrant is not in possession of any information provided by the Company
that constitutes material nonpublic information and (v) the Company has not breached any of the terms of the investment documents
(regardless of if such breach has been cured), then the warrants may be redeemed at a price of $ 0.001 per warrant up to one-half, in the
aggregate, of the warrants upon not less than 20 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each holder, subject to certain customary
restrictions.

Equity Incentive Plan
Prior to the Share Exchange, there were 163,142,084 Private Dror employee
stock options that had been granted to two executives and a director. As part of the Share Exchange, the outstanding employee stock options
are to be exchanged and the Company is required to issue new employee stock options under the Company’s 2023 Long-Term Incentive
Plan with the same terms as the previously issued options. As the Company did not have enough available authorized shares underlying the
options to be issued at the time of the merger, the new employee stock options were not issued. In December 2023 the Company authorized
additional shares to cover the employee stock options and is working on the legal filings for the establishment of the 2023 Plan. As the
agreement stipulates that the new options will continue the vesting schedules of the original options, the Company continues to record
the expense over the original vesting period.
The Company treated the exchange of the original options for the new
options as a modification in accordance with ASC 718. The Company calculated the fair value of the original options prior to the Share
Exchange and the fair value of the new options at the time of the Share Exchange. The increase in value due to the modification was $ 4,261,809
is to be recorded as additional share-based compensation expense. As one third of the options had fully vested prior to the Share Exchange,
the Company recognized one third of the total amount of the increased value, amounting to $ 1,420,603 at the time of the Share Exchange.
The remaining two thirds of the incremental value relating to the unvested options are going to be recorded over the remaining vesting
period.

Note 14 – Income Taxes:
The Company files corporate income tax returns in the United States
(federal), in New York (state), and in Israel (foreign). The Company is subject to federal, state and local income tax examinations by
tax authorities for the tax years 2020 through 2023. The Israeli subsidiary tax reports through 2017 are considered final assessments
in accordance with the provisions of section 145 of the Income Tax Ordinance.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company had federal net
operating loss carry forwards of $ 32.8 million. Federal net operating losses generated prior to January 1, 2018, amounting to $ 32.0 million,
may be offset against future taxable income, subject to limitation under IRC Section 382, which begin to expire in 2024 if not utilized
prior to that date, and fully expire during various years through 2037 for federal purposes. Net operating losses generated after January
1, 2018, amounting to $ 0.8 million, no longer have an expiration but are limited to 80 % of taxable income. Tax loss carryforwards in Israel
amount to approximately USD 9.9 million, (NIS 36.5 million) as of December 31, 2023, and do not expire. There are also Israeli capital
loss carryforwards amounting to $ 0.3 million (NIS 1.1 million) that can be offset only against capital gains but do not expire.
The valuation allowance overall increased by approximately
$ 7.9 million and $ 0.1 million in the years ended 2023 and 2022, respectively, and was approximately $ 9.9 million and $ 2.0 million, respectively.
The Company has fully reserved the deferred tax asset resulting from available net operating loss carryforwards.

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets,
management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate
realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary
differences become deductible. Deferred tax assets consist primarily of the tax effect of NOL carry-forwards. The Company has provided
a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets because of the uncertainty regarding its realizability.
The Company’s policy is to record interest
and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as additional income taxes in the statement of operations. As of both December
31, 2023 and 2022 the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. There were no changes in the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits
during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company did not recognize any interest or penalties during the years ended
December 31, 2023 and 2022 related to unrecognized tax benefits.
NOTE 15 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through
the date these financial statements were issued. In the opinion of management, there were no subsequent events that would require disclosure
or adjustments to the accompanying financial statements through the date the financial statements were issued other than the following:
On December 28, 2023, the Company’s
stockholders approved the adoption of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Restated Charter”)
and an amendment to the Restated Charter to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $ 0.0001
per share from 500,000,000 to 3,254,475,740 and to make a corresponding change to the number of authorized shares of capital stock. On
January 4, 2024, the Company filed the Restated Charter, with the provisions of the Authorized Share Increase Amendment incorporated therein,
with the Secretary of State of Delaware.
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company
submitted a request to the Israeli Income Tax Authority, for the approval of a plan for the issuance of employee stock options via a trustee
as defined in section 102 of the Income Tax Ordinance. The Company chose a capital taxation route that would apply to the Company’s employees
and undertook to deduct the full tax applicable to employees before shares are issued to an employee.
On February 1, 2024, we entered into a consulting agreement with a
director, pursuant to which, in consideration for certain services provided as a board member, the director would receive a cash fee of
$ 5,000 each month. The consulting agreement is terminable by either party upon 30 days written notice to the other party, and it will
terminate automatically once the director has received fees in the aggregate amount of $ 55,000 .
On February 1, 2024, the Company amended an agreement with an additional
director, which increased the monthly cash fee in respect of the services provided to $ 2,500 , plus applicable VAT.
