Item 1. Business.
Corporate Overview
We are a robotics company
dedicated to the development of an advanced robotics system that enables remote, real-time, pinpoint accurate firing of small arms and
light weapons as well as other civilian applications with an emphasis on the field of infrastructure maintenance. Our advanced robotics
system is able to achieve pinpoint accuracy regardless of the movement of the weapons platform or the target.
We were founded in 2014 as
Unlimited Aerial Systems, LLP (“UAS LLP”), and until the consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement (as hereinafter defined),
we were a developer and manufacturer of commercial unmanned aerial systems, or drones, with the goal of providing a superior Quadrotor
aerial platform at an affordable price point in the law enforcement and first responder markets.
On March 9, 2020, we closed
on the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which Duke Robotics, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“Duke”) became our majority-owned subsidiary (the “Share Exchange”). Such closing date is referred to as the
“Effective Time.” As a result of the Share Exchange, the Company adopted the business plan of Duke.
On April 29, 2020, we, Duke,
and UAS Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary (“UAS Sub”), executed an Agreement and Plan
of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which UAS Sub was to merge, upon the satisfaction of customary closing conditions,
with and into Duke, with Duke surviving as our wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Short-Form Merger”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement,
we acquired the remaining outstanding shares of Duke held by those certain Duke shareholders that did not participate in the Share Exchange.
On June 25, 2020, Duke filed a Certificate of Merger with the State of Delaware, and consequently, Duke became our wholly-owned subsidiary
and the Short-Form Merger was consummated.
Duke has a wholly-owned subsidiary,
Duke Airborne Systems Ltd. (“Duke Israel”), which was formed under the laws of the State of Israel in March 2014 and became
the sole subsidiary of Duke after its incorporation. Our mailing address is 10 HaRimon Street, Mevo Carmel Science and Industrial Park,
Israel 2069203, and our telephone number is 011-972-4-8124101. Our web site address is https://dukeroboticsys.com/.
Effective as of October 22,
2020, the Company’s common stock began to be quoted on the OTCQB tier Venture Market, under the symbol “USDR”.
Company Overview
Until the consummation of
the Share Exchange, we were a developer and manufacturer of commercial unmanned aerial systems, or drones, with the goal of providing
a superior Quadrotor aerial platform at an affordable price point in the law enforcement and first responder markets. Following the Share
Exchange, we adopted the business plan of Duke. Duke is a robotics company dedicated to the development of an advanced robotics stabilization
system that enables remote, real-time, pinpoint accurate firing of small arms and light weapons as well as other civilian applications
with an emphasis on the field of infrastructure maintenance. Our advanced robotics system is able to achieve pinpoint accuracy regardless
of the movement of the weapons platform or the target.
1
Although the first product
has been designed to be used by an unmanned aerial system (a “UAS”), the robotic solutions are also adaptable to other military
vehicles, boats and stationary environments, as well as civilian purposes, such as, high definition, high-end stabilized cameras. We believe
that the system is to small arms and light weapons (e.g., weapons weighing less than 9 kilograms, or kg, or approximately 19.9 pounds)
as drones are to air-to-ground missiles.
We have completed our first
generation of our robotic systems. Prior to marketing our systems to potential customers, for security reasons, we are required to obtain
various governmental approvals for each sale. We have filed marketing applications with the Israeli Ministry of Defense (“IMOD”)
and as a result thereof, currently hold marketing approvals for about 50 countries, including the United States. Currently, our commercialization
efforts are primarily focused on the U.S. market, with secondary efforts outside of the United States focused primarily on Western Europe.
On January 29, 2021, we, through
Duke Israel, and Elbit Systems Land Ltd., an Israeli corporation (“Elbit”), entered into a collaboration agreement (the “Collaboration
Agreement”) for the global marketing and sales, and the production and further development of our developed advanced robotic system
mounted on an UAS, armed with lightweight firearms, which we market under the commercial name “TIKAD.” Following the Collaboration
Agreement, we are in the process of evaluating additional different applications for use of our technology and know-how including for
its use in the civilian market.
On May 11, 2021, we entered
into securities purchase agreements with eight non-U.S. investors in a private placement offering in which we agreed to issue and sell
an aggregate of: (i) 12,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share at a price of $0.40 per share; and (ii) warrants to
purchase 12,500,000 Company’s Common Stock. The warrants were exercisable immediately and for a term of 18 months and had an exercise
price of $0.40 per share. The aggregate gross proceeds from the offering was approximately $5,000,000 and the offering closed on May 11,
2021. On April 5, 2022, we amended the terms of the warrants such that they now expire on November 11, 2023.
On May 27, 2021, our board
of directors” approved the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) pursuant to which the Company may issue awards,
from time to time, consisting of non-qualified stock options, restricted stock grants and restricted stock units (“RSUs”).
In addition, stock option awards that qualify under Section 102 of the Israeli Tax Ordinance (New Version) 1961 (the “ITO”),
and/or under Section 3(i) of the ITO, may be granted.
On June 15, 2021, we announced
that Duke Israel received a notice of allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for a patent titled “Stabilization System”
regarding its stabilization technology incorporated in its advanced robotic system.
On
August 15, 2022, we announced that Duke Israel, introduced the IC Drone, a drone technology for conducting routine maintenance of critical
infrastructure, and has signed a collaboration and development agreement with the Israel Electric Corporation Ltd. (IEC), a public
and 99% government-owned company, to provide drone-enabled systems for
cleaning electric utility cable insulators.
Market Opportunity
Despite of Russia’s
invasion of Ukraine and the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the classic confrontation of army against army
has become rare, while guerilla (or asymmetric) warfare has unfortunately become commonplace. Further, the foreign policy of the United
States and other countries is increasingly designed around the parameter of not employing “boots on the ground” while at the
same time minimizing collateral damage. The United States and other countries around the world have significantly increased their use
of UASs for intelligence gathering, surveillance and tactical applications, such as delivery of heavy ordnance bombs and missiles. The
use of UASs to fire small arms and light weapons from the air, however, has not yet become a viable option. Our technology thus addresses
a crucial need of modern warfare to bring a wide range of weapons other than bombs and missiles to bear on remote hostile targets without
risk to the military personnel deploying the weapons, while at the same time minimizing collateral damage. In addition, the rapid evolution
of small, unmanned air systems (“sUAS”) technologies, along with their size and low cost, enables novel concepts of employment
that present challenges to current defense systems, creating new asymmetric threats for warfighters. Our system also addresses this crucial
need for counter sUAS solutions and offers a kinetic interception, or “drone kill drone,” capability for defeating enemy sUAS.
Our system was designed with
input from veterans of Israel’s elite special mission units. It is operated intuitively via a touch-based tablet, which serves as
its control unit. Minimal prior training is required in order to operate the robot. In June 2016, our robot mounted on our UAS Octocopter
platform was awarded the top prize at the Combating Terrorism Technology Conference sponsored by the United States Defense Department’s
Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office, Israel’s Ministry of Defense Directorate of Defense Research and Development and the
MIT Enterprise Forum of Israel.

Products
UAS Octocopter Integrated with Six Degrees
of Freedom (“6 DOF”) Robotic Gimbal
Our special purpose UAS Octocopter
(DK-HIPPOGRIFF) integrates for operational usage with our 6 DOF robot and is intended primarily for Military and homeland security purposes.
Our lightweight robot allows accurate firing from various configurations consisting of UAS-mounted, land-mounted on light all-terrain
vehicles and sea-mounted on boats. The robot is mounted on our UAS Octocopter platform, a combined system which we market under the commercial
name “TIKAD.”
In addition to the various
configurations and mounting options, the robots also permit the utilization of a wide range of small arms, light weapons and shotguns,
with lethal and less lethal ammunition, with a maximum weight of nine (9) kilograms (approximately twenty (20) pounds). The combination
of our robot, along with our stabilization platform and software, provides a unique firing platform that permits precision firing regardless
of weather conditions or other variables.
Additionally, our robot may
also be utilized as a ground sniper platform. Since the robot is a standalone unit, it can be mounted on a patrol or attack vehicle or
be positioned at a strategic location. The capability of remote operation without the need to expose the operator to tactical danger can
replace troops in different settings. This capability may reduce the number of casualties due to “friendly fire” incidents
and may also significantly reduce exposure and risk to combat troops. Our robot is controlled by a remote-control device that permits
the user to exert full control over its functions, including arming the robot as well as control the firing mechanism.
Our
lightweight robot can also be used for civilian purposes and bring solutions that do not yet exist for different tasks that require high-end
stabilization, such as: vertical takeoff and landing (“VTOL”) robotic landing gear for drones, VTOL aircrafts and medical
aid robotic uses and for maintenance and monitoring of different essential infrastructures, such as cleaning electric utility cable insulators.
We expect our sales of the robot to increase as additional product options expand. We will also address, as needed, evolving regulation
of civilian UASs.

Assembly and Testing
While we maintain the ability
to assemble our robots and UAS Octocopter at our facility in Israel, we currently outsource the assembly and production to third-party
manufacturers, from which we also purchase supplies and custom-made machined parts required for the production of our robots and UAS Octocopter.
We currently source our parts and materials from approximately twenty (20) suppliers located primarily in the United States, Europe, Israel
and China. We are not, however, dependent on any single manufacturer. In addition, while the components we purchase are built according
to our specific designs and requests, we believe the components and materials we purchase are common in nature and can easily be obtained
from alternative suppliers, if necessary. Components are tested and approved against the expected points of failure during extended and
aggressive operations. For example, we test items such as the load carrying capacity of our products as well as various software components.
After the lab testing phase, the robot and UASs undergoes a series of field tests which examine the operation of each function. Results
are combined with multi-phased airborne testing.
In addition, we have not
executed supply agreements with our third-party suppliers. More importantly, our proprietary and confidential complex kinematic algorithms
and control software is our most valuable intellectual property. We have built an in-house laboratory to support the assembly and commercialization
of our products. We believe that the current size and capacity of our in-house laboratory, located at our facilities in Israel, will
be sufficient to support all of our commercialization activities in the near future.
Market Strategy
We expect that our growth
will initially derive from sales of TIKAD (our robot mounted on UAS Octocopter platform), and later from sales of our robot mounted on
other platforms, such as light all-terrain vehicles and sea-mounted on boats [Civilian products? ].
●
Focus on sales in the United States . We believe that the United States military will be our lead and reference customer. The United States alone presents a significant and diverse market opportunity - special operation forces units, various counter-terrorism (federal, state and city) units, regular local police forces (the use of less-lethal weapons), U.S. Army, National Guard, U.S. Navy, Coast Guard and the Border Police.
●
Sales to NATO . We believe adoption of our products in the United States will open the markets in countries that are U.S. allies such as the NATO countries.
●
Civilian Market . We believe that our robot, due to its novel and unique capabilities, including stabilization of six degrees of freedom in real-time, can bring solutions that do not yet exists for different tasks that require high end stabilization, such as VTOL robotic landing gear for drones and aircraft that enables take-offs and landings on uneven terrain and on steep slopes and medical uses for robotic procedures which need high accuracy.
Intellectual Property
Our success depends, at least
in part, on our ability to protect our proprietary technology and intellectual property, and to operate without infringing or violating
the proprietary rights of others. We rely on a combination of trade secrets, know-how, and other contractual rights (including confidentiality
and invention assignment agreements) to protect our intellectual property rights. We also restrict access to our sensitive intellectual
property information to our most senior management.
To protect certain key technologies,
we have submitted a U.S. patent Application for stabilization system patents, which is pending. We do not know whether any of our current
or future patent applications will result in the issuance of any patents.

Sales and Marketing
Marketing and sales efforts
are currently concentrated on TIKAD [Civilian products? ]. Our robot has been designated as a unique system by the IMOD and has received
official approval as the sole supplier of this solution to the IMOD. The IMOD has also publicly endorsed our combined robotic and UAS
system, which we market under the commercial name TIKAD, as an innovative future battlefield technology that may be implemented by the
Israeli Defense Forces (the “IDF”).
We are currently in the process
of building up our sales and marketing infrastructure primarily in the United States. This includes cooperation with agents, distributors
and resellers of products that are experienced in our market. We have engaged an experienced U.S.-based strategic consultant for U.S.
Government and Customer relations with a proven track record in the Defense market. We intend to focus our sales efforts in the United
States because the U.S. military in general and special operation forces units in particular are expected to be our largest customers,
both in our early commercialization stage and for the foreseeable future.
On January 29, 2021 we, through
Duke Israel, and Elbit entered in the Collaboration Agreement. Pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement, Duke Israel has granted Elbit
a worldwide exclusive license for the use of Duke Israel’s know-how and intellectual property and the marketing, sales, production,
and further development of the TIKAD for military, defense, homeland security, and para-military uses. As consideration for granting the
worldwide exclusive license, Elbit will pay Duke Israel royalties from revenues received from worldwide sales of TIKAD, with royalty rates
ranging from low to mid-double-figure percentages, depending on the tiers of the selling price of TIKAD, for a period starting from the
date of the Collaboration Agreement until 15 years following receipt of $50 million in cumulative revenues from sales of TIKAD units.
In addition, Duke Israel agreed to pay Elbit similar rates of royalties for revenues received by Duke from sales of its advanced robotic
system for civil use, if such systems will include new know-how developed by Elbit.
On June 15, 2021, we announced
that our wholly owned Israeli subsidiary, Duke Airborne Systems Ltd., received a notice of allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office for a patent titled “Stabilization System” regarding its stabilization technology incorporated in its advanced robotic
system.
Competition
While we believe that our
products are novel, and that we have unique knowledge of military operational demands and challenges and years of developing complex military
airborne systems and advanced robotics, the defense industry is a competitive environment. Competition is based on product and program
performance, price, reputation, reliability, life cycle costs, overall value to the customer and responsiveness to customer requirements.
This includes the ability to respond to rapid changes in technology. In addition, our competitive position sometimes may be affected by
specific requirements in particular geographic and product markets.
Continuing consolidation in
the defense industry has affected competition. In addition, many major prime contractors are increasing their in-house capabilities. These
factors have decreased the number but increased the relative size and resources of our competitors. We plan to continually adapt to market
conditions by adjusting our business strategy to changing market conditions. In addition, we plan to seek to enter into strategic partnership
and cooperation agreements that we believe can assist us in overcoming the challenges of competing in our industry. We also anticipate
continued competition in defense markets due to declining defense budgets in many countries.
Our competitors, either alone
or through their strategic partners, might have substantially greater name recognition and financial, technical, manufacturing, marketing
and human resources than we do. These entities may also have significantly greater experience and infrastructure in commercializing defense
products, obtaining regulatory approval for those products and commercializing those products around the world.
5
Government Regulation
Government Contracting
Regulations. We operate under laws, regulations and administrative rules governing defense and other government contracts,
mainly in Israel and the United States. Some of these carry major penalty provisions for non-compliance, including disqualification from
participating in future contracts. In addition, our participation in governmental procurement processes in Israel, the United States and
other countries is subject to specific regulations governing the conduct of the process of procuring defense and homeland security contracts.
Israeli Export Regulations. Israel’s
defense export policy regulates the sale of a number of our systems and products. Current Israeli policy encourages exports to approved
customers of defense systems and products such as ours, as long as the export is consistent with Israeli government policy. Subject to
certain exemptions, a license is required to initiate marketing activities. We also must receive a specific export license for defense
related hardware, software and technology exported from Israel. Israeli law also regulates export of “dual use” items (items
that are typically sold in the commercial market but that also may be used in the defense market). We have filed marketing applications
with the IMOD and have already received marketing approvals for about fifty (50) countries including the U.S. It is expected that in the
mid-term more than seventy-five (75%) of our revenue will be derived from exports subject to Israeli export regulations.
Approval of Israeli
Defense Acquisition. The Israeli Defense Entities Law (Protection of Defense Interests) establishes conditions for the approval
of an acquisition or transfer of control of an entity that is determined to be an Israeli “defense entity” under the terms
of the law. Designation as a “defense entity” is to occur through an order to be issued jointly by the Israeli Prime Minister,
Defense Minister and Economy Minister. Although no such orders relating to us have been issued as of the date hereof, it is possible that
our Israeli subsidiary may be designated as a “defense entity” under the law. An order (pursuant to the law) would establish
conditions and restrictions regarding non-Israeli control of our Israeli subsidiary. For example, Israeli government approval might be
required for acquisition of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the voting securities or a smaller percentage of shares of common stock
that grant “means of control” in the Company, if such were to directly affect the control of our Israeli subsidiary. Means
of Control for the purposes of the law includes the right to control the vote at a shareholders’ meeting or to appoint a director.
Approval of U.S. and
Other Defense Acquisitions. Many countries in addition to Israel also require governmental approval of acquisitions of local
defense companies or assets by foreign entities. Mergers and acquisitions of certain types of defense related businesses in the U.S. are
subject to the Foreign Investment and National Security Act (“FINSA”). Under FINSA, foreign acquisitions of certain types
of defense related businesses in the U.S. require review, and in some cases approval, by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United
States (“CFIUS”). In that regard, if a foreign entity attempts to acquire us or all of our domestic assets, such transactions
may be subject to FINSA, and in certain instances CFIUS has the authority to order divestment and cancellation of the transaction.
“ Buy American”
Laws. The U.S. “Buy American” laws impose price differentials or prohibitions on procurement of products purchased
under U.S. government programs. The price differentials or prohibitions apply to products that are not made in the United States or that
do not contain U.S. components making up at least fifty percent (50%) of the total cost of all components in the product. However, a Memorandum
of Agreement between the United States and Israeli governments waives the “Buy American” laws for specified products, including
most of the products we are currently selling in the United States.
Procurement Regulations. Solicitations
for procurements by governmental purchasing agencies in Israel, the United States and other countries are governed by laws, regulations
and procedures relating to procurement integrity, including avoiding conflicts of interest, corruption, human trafficking and conflict
minerals in the procurement process. Such regulations also include provisions relating to information assurance and for the avoidance
of counterfeit parts in the supply chain.
Anti-Bribery Regulations. We
conduct operations in a number of markets that are considered high risk from an anti-bribery compliance perspective. Laws and regulations
such as the Israel Penal Code, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) Convention on Combating
Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act
and corresponding legislation in other countries, prohibit providing personal benefits or bribes to government officials in connection
with the governmental procurement process. Israeli defense exporters, like ourselves, are required to maintain an anti-bribery compliance
program, including specific procedures, record keeping and training.
6
Audit Regulations. The
IMOD may audit our books and records relating to its contracts with us. Our books and records and other aspects of projects that will
be related to the U.S. defense contracts will be subject to audit by U.S. government audit agencies. Such audits review compliance with
government contracting cost accounting and other applicable standards. If discrepancies are found this could result in a downward adjustment
of the applicable contract’s price. Some other customers have similar rights under specific contract provisions.
Civil Aviation Regulations. Several
of our products for commercial aviation applications are subject to flight safety and airworthiness standards of the U.S. Federal Aviation
Administration and similar civil aviation authorities in Israel, Europe and other countries.
Environmental, Health
and Safety Regulations. We are subject to a variety of environmental, health and safety laws and regulations in the jurisdictions
in which we have operations. This includes regulations relating to air, water and ground contamination, hazardous waste disposal and other
areas with a potential environmental or safety impact.
Employees
We currently have one full-time
employee, our Chief Executive Officer, and two (2) executive officers, our Chief Technology Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. We
hire freelance contractors and consultants in order to limit our operating expenses and therefore allowing us to scale as necessary. We
maintain long-term relationships with these freelance contractors and consultants.
All of our consulting agreements
include undertakings with respect to non-competition and assignment to us of intellectual property rights developed in the course of employment
and confidentiality. The enforceability of such provisions is limited for some employees by Israeli law.
We
are also currently a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that we are not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or
a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a smaller reporting company and have a public float of less than $75 million
and annual revenues of less than $50 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. As a “smaller reporting company”
we are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b)
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) requiring that independent registered public accounting firms
provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure
obligations in their SEC filings, including, among other things, only being required to provide two years of audited financial statements
in annual reports.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
The following risk factors,
among others, could affect our actual results of operations and could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed
in forward-looking statements made by us. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and except as required by
law we assume no obligation to update this information. You should carefully consider the risks described below and elsewhere in this
Annual Report before making an investment decision. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely
affected by any of these risks. Our common stock is considered speculative and the trading price of our common stock could decline due
to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. The following risk factors are not the only risk factors facing
our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business.

Risks Related to our Business and Industry
We have a limited operating history and
have generated limited revenues to date.
Our limited operating history
makes evaluating the business and future prospects difficult and may increase the risk of your investment. Our operating subsidiary in
Israel was formed in March 2014. To date, we have generated limited revenues and have not yet begun meaningful commercialization efforts
with respect to our products. We intend in the long-term to derive substantial revenues from the sales of our products as well as future
models of other robots and our UAS platforms for both military and civilian use, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to
do so.
We may not be able to obtain adequate financing
to continue our operations.
We expect that we will need
to raise additional funds to continue the design, manufacture, sale and servicing of our TIKAD as well as develop future robot products
and other platforms for the implementation of our robot. We believe that we will need to raise additional capital in the future to fund
our research and development and commercialization efforts. If we seek to raise additional capital, we may do so through the issuance
of equity, equity-related, or debt securities or through obtaining credit from government or financial institutions or other persons.
This capital will be necessary to fund ongoing operations, continue research, development and design efforts, establish a sales infrastructure
and make the investments in tooling and equipment required to develop and manufacture our products. Moreover, the terms of any financing
may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of holders of our securities and the issuance of additional securities, whether equity
or debt, by us, or the possibility of such issuance, may cause the market price of our common shares to decline. The incurrence of indebtedness
could result in increased fixed payment obligations, and we may be required to agree to certain restrictive covenants, such as limitations
on our ability to incur additional debt, limitations on our ability to acquire, sell or license intellectual property rights and other
operating restrictions that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business. We could also be required to seek funds through
arrangements with collaborative partners or otherwise at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable, and we may be required to
relinquish rights to some of our technologies or product candidates or otherwise agree to terms unfavorable to us, any of which may have
a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and prospects. Even if we believe that we have sufficient funds for our current
or future operating plans, we may seek additional capital if market conditions are favorable or if we have specific strategic considerations.
We have inadequate capital and need for
additional financing to accomplish our business and strategic plans. Terms of subsequent financing, if any, may adversely impact your
investment.
We have limited funds, and
such funds are not fully adequate to fully support our future development and business plans. Our ultimate success may depend on our ability
to raise additional capital. In the absence of additional financing or significant revenues and profits, the Company will have to approach
its business plan from a much different and much more restricted direction, attempting to secure additional funding sources to fund its
growth, borrowing money from lenders or elsewhere or to take other actions to attempt to provide funding.
We may have to engage in common
equity, debt, or preferred stock financings in the future. Your rights and the value of your investment in the common stock could be reduced
by the dilution caused by future equity issuances. Interest on debt securities could increase costs and negatively impact operating results.
In the event we are permitted to issue preferred stock pursuant to the terms of our articles of incorporation, preferred stock could be
issued in series from time to time with such designation, rights, preferences, and limitations as needed to raise capital. The terms of
preferred stock would be more advantageous to those investors than to the holders of common stock. In addition, if we need to raise more
equity capital from the sale of common stock, institutional or other investors may negotiate terms possibly less favorable to us, and
thereby adversely impact your investment. Shares of common stock which we sell from time to time could be sold into any market that develops,
which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
8
Our revenues will depend heavily on government contracts
We expect to derive most of
our immediate future revenues directly or indirectly from government agencies, mainly the U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”).
In addition, we offer our products to IMOD and intend to offer these to other governmental and quasi-governmental agencies around the
world, including U.S. allies such as the NATO and equivalent authorities of various countries pursuant to contracts awarded to us under
defense and homeland security-related programs. Technology products from foreign countries have an inherent disadvantage against domestic
offerings. The funding of government programs could be reduced or eliminated due to numerous factors, including geo-political events and
macro-economic conditions that are beyond our control. Reduction or elimination of government spending under our contracts would imperil
the sales of our products and may cause a negative effect on our revenues, results of operations, cash flow and financial condition.
We face other risks in our expected international
sales.
We expect to derive a significant
portion of our revenues ultimately from international sales. Changes in international, political, economic or geographic events could
cause significant reductions in our revenues, which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition
to the other risks from international operations set forth elsewhere in these Risk Factors, some of the risks of doing business internationally
include imposition of tariffs and other trade barriers and restrictions, political and economic instability in the countries of our customers
and suppliers, changes in diplomatic and trade relationships and increasing instances of terrorism worldwide. Due to our subsidiary being
located in the State of Israel, some of these risks may be affected by Israel’s overall political situation. (See “Risks Related
to Israeli Law and Our Operations in Israel” below.)
We may experience production delays if suppliers
fail to make compliant or timely deliveries .
The manufacturing process
for some of our products largely consists of the assembly, integration and testing of purchased components. If a supplier stops delivery
of such components, finding another source could result in added cost and manufacturing delays. Moreover, if our subcontractors fail to
meet their design, delivery schedule or other obligations we could be held liable by our customers, and we may be unable to obtain full
or partial recovery from our subcontractors for those liabilities. The foregoing risks could have a material adverse effect on our operating
results.
If we fail to manage growth or to prepare
for product scalability effectively, it could have an adverse effect on our employee efficiency, product quality, working capital levels
and results of operations .
Any significant growth in the market for our products or our entry
into new markets may require an expansion of our employee base for managerial, operational, financial, and other purposes. As of March
23, 2023, we had one full-time employee, our Chief Executive Officer, and have two (2) executive officers, our Chief Technology Officer
and our Chief Financial Officer. During any period of growth, we may face problems related to our operational and financial systems and
controls, including quality control and delivery and service capacities. We would also need to continue to expand, train and manage our
employee base. Continued future growth will impose significant added responsibilities upon the members of management to identify, recruit,
maintain, integrate, and motivate new employees.
Aside from increased difficulties
in the management of human resources, we may also encounter working capital issues, as we will need increased liquidity to finance the
development of new products, and the hiring of additional employees. For effective growth management, we will be required to continue
improving our operations, management, and financial systems and controls. Our failure to manage growth effectively may lead to operational
and financial inefficiencies that will have a negative effect on our profitability. We cannot assure investors that we will be able to
timely and effectively meet that demand and maintain the quality standards required by our existing and potential customers.
9
We have applied for a patent for certain
of our key technologies and may apply for additional patents in the future. Our ability to protect our intellectual property and proprietary
technology is uncertain and may be inadequate, which may have a material and adverse effect on us.
Our success depends significantly
on our ability to protect our proprietary rights to the technologies used in our products. We applied for a patent with the United States
Office Patent and Trademark Office to protect certain of our key technologies, however, we cannot assure you that we will be able to control
all of the rights for all of our intellectual property. We do not know whether any of our current or future patent applications, if any,
will result in the issuance of any patents. Even issued patents may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. Patents may not provide
a competitive advantage or afford protection against competitors with similar technology. Competitors or potential competitors may have
filed applications for, or may have received patents and may obtain additional and proprietary rights to compounds or processes used by
or competitive with ours. Both the patent application process and the process of managing patent disputes can be time-consuming and expensive.
Competitors may be able to design around our patents or develop products which provide outcomes which are comparable or may even be superior
to ours.
In the event a competitor
infringes upon our intellectual property rights, enforcing those rights may be costly, uncertain, difficult and time consuming. Even if
successful, litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights or to defend our patents against challenge could be expensive and time
consuming and could divert our management’s attention. We may not have sufficient resources to enforce our intellectual property
rights or to defend our patents rights against a challenge. The failure to obtain patents and/or protect our intellectual property rights
could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In addition, we have taken
steps to protect our intellectual property and proprietary technology, including entering into confidentiality agreements and intellectual
property assignment agreements with all of our executive officers, employees, consultants and advisors, however, such agreements may not
provide meaningful protection for our trade secrets or other proprietary information in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure or
other breaches of the agreements. Furthermore, the laws of foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same
extent as do the laws of the United States. However, we have not executed confidentiality agreement or non-compete agreements with our
third-party suppliers and there is no restriction on their working with our competitors or selling our component designs to other parties.
In that regard, we deem our complex kinematic algorithms and control software to be our most valuable intellectual property and is done
in-house only with no sub-contractor involved.
We may become subject to claims of infringement
or misappropriation of the intellectual property rights of others, which could prohibit us from developing our products, require us to
obtain licenses from third parties or to develop non-infringing alternatives and subject us to substantial monetary damages.
Third parties could, in the
future, assert infringement or misappropriation claims against us with respect to products we develop. Whether a product infringes a patent
or misappropriates other intellectual property involves complex legal and factual issues, the determination of which is often uncertain.
Therefore, we cannot be certain that we have not infringed the intellectual property rights of others. Our potential competitors may assert
that some aspect of our product infringes their patents. Because patent applications may take years to issue, there also may be applications
now pending of which we are unaware that may later result in issued patents upon which our products could infringe. There also may be
existing patents or pending patent applications of which we are unaware upon which our products may inadvertently infringe.
Any infringement or misappropriation
claim could cause us to incur significant costs, place significant strain on our financial resources, divert management’s attention
from our business and harm our reputation. If the relevant patents in such claim were upheld as valid and enforceable and we were found
to infringe them, we could be prohibited from selling any product that is found to infringe unless we could obtain licenses to use the
technology covered by the patent or are able to design around the patent. We may be unable to obtain such a license on terms acceptable
to us, if at all, and we may not be able to redesign our products to avoid infringement. A court could also order us to pay compensatory
damages for such infringement, plus prejudgment interest and could, in addition, treble the compensatory damages and award attorney fees.
These damages could be substantial and could harm our reputation, business, financial condition and operating results. A court also could
enter orders that temporarily, preliminarily or permanently enjoin us and our customers from making, using, or selling products, and could
enter an order mandating that we undertake certain remedial activities. Depending on the nature of the relief ordered by the court, we
could become liable for additional damages to third parties.
10
The sale of our products is subject to various
regulatory requirements of the Israeli Ministry of Defense and will also be subject to regulatory requirements in countries in which we
seek to sell our products.
Due to the fact that we sell
products used that may be purchased in the defense and/ or military industry, and otherwise conduct business with the IMOD, we may be
required to obtain approval from the IMOD with respect to each agreement for the sale of our products. In that regard, we are required
to secure the approval of the IMOD prior to offering the sale of our products to any third party. In addition, we are required to obtain
approvals from the IMOD prior to the execution and performance of any such agreement. If we fail to obtain approvals in the future, if
approvals previously obtained are revoked or expire and are not renewed or if government policies change, our ability to sell our products
and services to customers would be impacted, resulting in a material adverse effect on our business, revenues, assets, liabilities and
results of operations.
Risks Related to our Common Stock
In connection with the Share Exchange, Duke
obtained a ruling (the “Ruling”) from the Israeli Tax Authority with regard to the exemption of the Share Exchange from being
considered as a tax event for Israeli stockholder of Duke. The Ruling we obtained in connection with the Share Exchange imposes conditions
that may limit our flexibility in operating our business and our ability to enter into certain corporate transactions.
The Ruling we obtained in
connection with the Share Exchange imposes a number of conditions that limit our flexibility in operating our business and in engaging
in certain corporate transactions. In accordance with the terms of the Ruling, until the two-year anniversary of the Effective Time, we
agreed to maintain (and, to the extent that our operations expand, likewise expand) the same economic activity for the Company after the
Share Exchange as conducted by Duke prior to such transaction and that the Israeli Duke stockholders continue to hold at least twenty-five
percent (25%) of their holding in the Company’s issued and outstanding stock at the Effective Time. Under certain circumstances,
these conditions may not allow us the flexibility that we need to operate our business and may prevent us from taking advantage of strategic
opportunities that would benefit our business and our stockholders.
Our executive officer, directors and certain
stockholders who are beneficial owners of more than 5% of our outstanding common shares possess the majority of our voting power, and
through this ownership, have the ability to control our Company and our corporate actions.
Following the Share Exchange,
our current executive officer and directors hold approximately 22% of the issued and outstanding voting power of the Company’s outstanding
shares. These persons have a controlling influence in determining the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matters submitted
to our stockholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, election of
directors, and other significant corporate actions. As such, our directors and executive officer may have the power, acting alone or together,
to prevent or cause a change in control; therefore, without their consent we could be prevented from entering into transactions that could
be beneficial to us. The interests of our executive officer may give rise to a conflict of interest with the Company and the Company’s
shareholders.
In addition, we have a number
of stockholders who are beneficial owners of more than 5% of our outstanding common shares, as of the Effective Time, including one such
shareholder who beneficially owns approximately 34% of our issued and outstanding shares, and as such, also may have the ability to prevent
us from entering into transactions that could be beneficial to us and/or other shareholders. In addition, we have one additional non-affiliated
stockholder who beneficially owns more than 5% of our outstanding common shares. Although none of these non-affiliated stockholders currently
have a controlling influence in determining the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matters submitted to our stockholders for
approval, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, election of directors, and other significant
corporate actions, obtaining their vote on certain matters may be necessary to effect certain actions that our management and directors
otherwise deem to be in the best interests of the Company.
11
There is a substantial lack of liquidity
of our common stock and volatility risks.
Our common stock is traded
on the over-the-counter market with quotations published on the OTC Markets Group, Inc.’s OTCQB tier Venture Market, under the symbol
“USDR.” The trading volume of our common stock historically has been limited and sporadic, and the stock prices have been
volatile. As a result of the limited and sporadic trading activity, the quoted price for our common stock on the over-the-counter market
is not necessarily a reliable indicator of its fair market value. The price at which our common stock will trade in the future may be
highly volatile and may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including, without limitation, any potential business combination
that we announce, as well as the number of shares available for sale in the market.
The trading volume of our
common stock may be limited and sporadic. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small
company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that
generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be
reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became
more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal
or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support
continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading
market for our common stock will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained. As a result of such trading
activity, the quoted price for our common stock on the OTCQB may not necessarily be a reliable indicator of our fair market value. In
addition, if our shares of common stock cease to be quoted, holders would find it more difficult to dispose of or to obtain accurate quotation
as to the market value of, our common stock and as a result, the market value of our common stock likely would decline.
Other factors that could have
a similar impact include, but are not limited to:
●
the increased concentration of the ownership of our shares by a limited number of affiliated stockholders following the Share Exchange may limit interest in our securities;
●
limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on the market price for our common stock;
● variations in quarterly operating
results from the expectations;
● revisions in securities analysts’
estimates or reductions;
● our ability to obtain working
capital financing;
● announcements of new products
or services by us or our competitors and changes in our industry;
● reductions in the market share
of our products;
● announcements by us or our competitors
of significant strategic acquisitions;
● loss of any strategic relationship;
● regulatory developments;
● general technological, market
or economic trends;
12
● investor perception of our industry
or prospects;
● insider selling or buying;
● investors entering into short
sale contracts;
● regulatory developments affecting
our industry; and
● additions or departures of key
personnel.
Many of these factors are
beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any
predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common stock will be at any time, including as to whether our
common stock will sustain current market prices, or as to what effect that the sale of shares or the availability of common stock for
sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.
Because we became public by means of a “reverse
merger,” we may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms.
There may be risks associated
with us becoming public through a “reverse merger.” Securities analysts of major brokerage firms and securities institutions
may not provide coverage of us because there were no broker-dealers who sold our stock in a public offering that would be incentivized
to follow or recommend the purchase of our common stock. The absence of such research coverage could limit investor interest in our common
stock, resulting in decreased liquidity. No assurance can be given that established brokerage firms will, in the future, want to cover
our securities or conduct any secondary offerings or other financings on our behalf.
Our common stock may never be listed on
a major stock exchange.
While we may seek the listing
of our common stock on a national or other securities exchange at some time in the future, we currently do not satisfy the initial listing
standards and cannot ensure that we will be able to satisfy such listing standards or that our common stock will be accepted for listing
on any such exchange. Should we fail to satisfy the initial listing standards of such exchanges, or our common stock is otherwise rejected
for listing, the trading price of our common stock could suffer, the trading market for our common stock may be less liquid, and our common
stock price may be subject to increased volatility.
Our common stock is subject to price volatility
unrelated to us or our operations.
The market price of our common
stock could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including quarterly operating results of other companies in the same
industry, changes in general conditions in the economy and the financial markets, or other developments affecting the Company’s
competitors. In addition, the OTCQB is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations in general. This volatility has had a significant
effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and could have
the same effect on our common stock.
In addition, the securities
markets have from time-to-time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of
particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
13
Sales of our currently issued and outstanding
stock may become freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 and may dilute the market for your shares and have a depressive effect on the price
of the shares of our common stock.
A substantial portion of the
outstanding shares of common stock are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (“Rule 144” and the “Securities Act”, respectively). As restricted shares, these shares may be
resold only pursuant to an effective registration statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions from
registration under the Securities Act and as required under applicable state securities laws. Rule 144 provides in essence that a non-affiliate
who has held restricted securities for a period of at least six (6) months may sell their shares of common stock. Under Rule 144, affiliates
who have held restricted securities for a period of at least six (6) months may, under certain conditions, sell every three months, in
brokerage transactions, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of a company’s outstanding shares of common stock
or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to the sale (the four calendar week rule does not apply to companies
quoted on the OTCQB). A sale under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the Securities Act, if available, or pursuant to subsequent
registrations of our shares of common stock, may have a depressive effect upon the price of our shares of common stock in any active market
that may develop.
The securities issued in connection with
the Share Exchange are restricted securities and may not be transferred in the absence of registration or the availability of a resale
exemption.
The shares of common stock
issued in connection with the Share Exchange were issued in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements under Section
4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. Consequently, these securities are subject to restrictions on transfer under the Securities Act and may
not be transferred in the absence of registration or the availability of a resale exemption. In particular, in the absence of registration,
such securities cannot be resold to the public until certain requirements under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act have been
satisfied, including certain holding period requirements. As a result, a purchaser who receives any such securities issued in connection
with the Share Exchange may be unable to sell such securities at the time or at the price or upon such other terms and conditions as the
purchaser desires, and the terms of such sale may be less favorable to the purchaser than might be obtainable in the absence of such limitations
and restrictions.
We do not plan to declare or pay any dividends
to our stockholders in the near future.
We have not declared any dividends
in the past, and we do not intend to distribute dividends in the near future. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends
will be made at the discretion of the board of directors and will depend upon, among other things, the results of operations, cash flows
and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors as the board of directors considers relevant. There is
no assurance that future dividends will be paid, and if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such
dividend.
“Penny Stock” rules may make
buying or selling our common stock difficult.
Trading in our common stock
is subject to the “penny stock” rules. The SEC has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity
security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These rules require that any broker-dealer
that recommends our common stock to persons other than prior customers and accredited investors, must, prior to the sale, make a special
written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to execute the transaction. Unless
an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule
explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with trading in the penny stock market. In addition, broker-dealers must disclose
commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities they offer.
The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our
common stock, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of our common stock.
14
The sales practice requirements of the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the “penny
stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted Rule 2111 that requires a broker-dealer to have reasonable grounds for believing
that an investment is suitable for a customer before recommending the investment. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities
to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial
status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a
high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make
it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy the Company’s common stock, which may limit your ability
to buy and sell the Company’s stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
Risks Related to Israeli Law and Our Operations
in Israel
We have offices and other significant operations
are located in Israel, and, therefore, our results may be adversely affected by political, economic and military instability in Israel.
While our executive offices
are located in the United States, we maintain offices in Israel. In addition, many of our officers and directors are residents of Israel.
Accordingly, political, economic and military conditions in Israel may directly affect our business. Any armed conflicts, political instability,
terrorism, cyberattacks or any other hostilities involving Israel or the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its present
trading partners could affect adversely our operations. Ongoing and revived hostilities in the Middle East or other Israeli political
or economic factors, could harm our operations and solution development and cause any future sales to decrease.
In addition, instability in
the region may lead to deterioration in the political and trade relationships that exist between the State of Israel and certain other
countries. Any armed conflicts, terrorist activities or political instability in the region could adversely affect business conditions,
could harm our results of operations and could make it more difficult for us to raise capital. Parties with whom we do business may sometimes
decline to travel to Israel during periods of heightened unrest or tension, forcing us to make alternative arrangements when necessary
in order to meet our business partners face to face. Several countries, principally in the Middle East, still restrict doing business
with Israel and Israeli companies, and additional countries may impose restrictions on doing business with Israel and Israeli companies
if hostilities in Israel or political instability in the region continues or increases. Similarly, Israeli companies are limited in conducting
business with entities from several countries. For instance, in 2008, the Israeli legislature passed a law forbidding any investments
in entities that transact business with Iran. In addition, the political and security situation in Israel may result in parties with whom
we have agreements involving performance in Israel claiming that they are not obligated to perform their commitments under those agreements
pursuant to force majeure provisions in such agreements.
Our commercial insurance does
not cover losses that may occur as a result of events associated with war and terrorism. Although the Israeli government currently covers
the reinstatement value of direct damages that are caused by terrorist attacks or acts of war, we cannot assure you that this government
coverage will be maintained or that it will sufficiently cover our potential damages. Any losses or damages incurred by us could have
a material adverse effect on our business. Any armed conflicts or political instability in the region would likely negatively affect business
conditions and could harm our results of operations.
Further, in the past, the
State of Israel and Israeli companies have been subjected to economic boycotts. Several countries still restrict business with the State
of Israel and with Israeli companies. These restrictive laws and policies may have an adverse impact on our operating results, financial
conditions or the expansion of our business. A campaign of boycotts, divestment and sanctions has been undertaken against Israel, which
could also adversely impact our business.
15
In addition, Israel is experiencing
a level of unprecedented political instability. The Israeli government has been in a transitionary phase since December 2018, when the
Israeli Parliament, or the Knesset, first resolved to dissolve itself and call for new general elections. Since then, Israel held general
elections five times - in April and September of 2019, in March of 2020, March of 2021 and in November of 2022.
Further, many Israeli citizens
are obligated to perform several days, and in some cases more, of annual military reserve duty each year until they reach the age of 40
(or older, for reservists who are military officers or who have certain occupations) and, in the event of a military conflict, may be
called to active duty. In response to increases in terrorist activity, there have been periods of significant call-ups of military reservists.
It is possible that there will be military reserve duty call-ups in the future. Our operations could be disrupted by such call-ups, which
may include the call-up of members of our management. Such disruption could materially adversely affect our business, prospects, financial
condition and results of operations.
Furthermore, the Israeli government
is currently pursuing extensive changes to Israel’s judicial system. In response to the foregoing developments, individuals, organizations
and institutions, both within and outside of Israel, have voiced concerns that the proposed changes may negatively impact the business
environment in Israel including due to reluctance of foreign investors to invest or conduct business in Israel, as well as to increased
currency fluctuations, downgrades in credit rating, increased interest rates, increased volatility in securities markets, and other changes
in macroeconomic conditions. Such proposed changes may also adversely affect the labor market in Israel or lead to political instability
or civil unrest. To the extent that any of these negative developments do occur, they may have an adverse effect on our business, our
results of operations and our ability to raise additional funds, if deemed necessary by our management and board of directors.
Our operations are subject to currency and
interest rate fluctuations.
We incur expenses in U.S.
dollars and NIS, but our financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars. The U.S. dollar is our functional currency. However, as
we also incur expenses in NIS, we are affected by foreign currency exchange fluctuations through both translation risk and transaction
risk. As a result, we are exposed to the risk that the NIS may appreciate relative to the dollar, or, if the NIS instead devalues relative
to the dollar, that the inflation rate in Israel may exceed such rate of devaluation of the NIS, or that the timing of such devaluation
may lag behind inflation in Israel. In any such event, the dollar cost of our operations in Israel would increase and our dollar-denominated
results of operations would be adversely affected.
It may be difficult to enforce a judgment
of a United States court against us and our officers and directors to assert United States securities laws claims in Israel or to serve
process on our officers and directors and these experts.
Our executive office, corporate
headquarters and manufacturing facilities are located in Israel. In addition, all of our officers and directors are residents of Israel.
All of our assets and most of the assets of these persons are located in Israel. Service of process upon us or our non-U.S. resident directors
and officers and enforcement of judgments obtained in the United States against us or our non-U.S. our directors and executive officers
may be difficult to obtain within the United States. We have been informed by our legal counsel in Israel that it may be difficult to
assert claims under U.S. securities laws in original actions instituted in Israel, or obtain a judgment based on the civil liability provisions
of U.S. federal securities laws. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on a violation of U.S. securities laws against us or
our non-U.S. officers and directors because Israel may not be the most appropriate forum to bring such a claim. In addition, even if an
Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim. If U.S. law is found
to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact, which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain
matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law. There is little binding case law in Israel addressing the matters described
above. Israeli courts might not enforce judgments rendered outside Israel, which may make it difficult to collect on judgments rendered
against us or our non-U.S. officers and directors.
16
Moreover, an Israeli court
will not enforce a non-Israeli judgment if it was given in a state whose laws do not provide for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli
courts (subject to exceptional cases), if its enforcement is likely to prejudice the sovereignty or security of the State of Israel, if
it was obtained by fraud or in the absence of due process, if it is at variance with another valid judgment that was given in the same
matter between the same parties, or if a suit in the same matter between the same parties was pending before a court or tribunal in Israel
at the time the foreign action was brought.
Our operations may be disrupted as a result
of the obligation of management or key personnel to perform military service.
Our employees and consultants
in Israel, including members of our senior management, may be obligated to perform one month, and in some cases longer periods, of military
reserve duty until they reach the age of 40 (or older, for citizens who hold certain positions in the Israeli armed forces reserves) and,
in the event of a military conflict, may be called to active duty. In response to increases in terrorist activity, there have been periods
of significant call-ups of military reservists. It is possible that there will be similar large-scale military reserve duty call-ups in
the future. Our operations could be disrupted by the absence of a significant number of our officers, directors, employees and consultants.
Such disruption could materially adversely affect our business and operations.
General Risk Factors
We operate in a competitive industry .
While we believe that we are
the only developer and manufacturer of UASs capable of pinpoint accurate firing of light weapons, the UAS market generally in which we
participate is highly competitive and becoming more so. This market is also characterized by rapid and innovative technological change.
If we are unable to improve existing systems and products and develop new systems and technologies in order to meet evolving customer
demands, our business could be adversely affected. In addition, our competitors could introduce new products with innovative capabilities,
which could adversely affect our business. We compete with many large and mid-tier defense companies on the basis of system performance,
cost, overall value, delivery and reputation. Many of these competitors are larger and have greater resources than us, and therefore may
be better positioned to take advantage of economies of scale and develop new technologies.
Undetected problems in our products could
impair our financial results and give rise to potential product liability claims.
If there are defects in the
design, production or testing of our products and systems, we could face substantial repair, replacement or service costs, potential liability
and damage to our reputation. Defects or malfunctioning of our products, if they were to occur, would likely result in significant damage
and loss of life. We may not be able to obtain product liability or other insurance to fully cover such risks, and our efforts to implement
appropriate design, testing and manufacturing processes for our products or systems may not be sufficient to prevent such occurrences,
which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
17
Our business depends on proprietary technology
that may be infringed .
Many of our systems and products
depend on our proprietary technology for their success. Like other technology-oriented companies, we rely on a combination of trade secrets,
copyrights and trademarks, together with non-disclosure agreements, confidentiality provisions in sales, procurement, employment and other
agreements and technical measures to establish and protect proprietary rights in our products. While we are in the process of seeking
patents for our technology, there is no guarantee that such patents will be granted. Our ability to successfully protect our technology
may be limited because:
● intellectual property laws in
certain jurisdictions may be relatively ineffective;
● detecting infringements and
enforcing proprietary rights may divert management’s attention and company resources;
● contractual measures such as
non-disclosure agreements and confidentiality provisions may afford only limited protection;
● any patents we may receive will
expire, thus providing competitors access to the applicable technology;
● competitors may independently
develop products that are substantially equivalent or superior to our products or circumvent our intellectual property rights; and
● competitors may register patents
in technologies relevant to our business areas;
In addition, various parties
may assert infringement claims against us. The cost of defending against infringement claims could be significant, regardless of whether
the claims are valid. If we are not successful in defending such claims, we may be prevented from the use or sale of certain of our products,
or liable for damages and required to obtain licenses, which may not be available on reasonable terms, any of which may have a material
adverse impact on our business, results of operation or financial condition.
Potential product liability claims could
adversely affect our future earnings and financial condition.
We face an inherent business
risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that the use of our products results in adverse effects. We may not be able
to maintain adequate levels of insurance for these liabilities at reasonable cost and/or reasonable terms. Excessive insurance costs or
uninsured claims would add to our future operating expenses and adversely affect our financial condition.
We rely on highly skilled personnel and,
if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire additional qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.
Our performance is largely
dependent on the talents and efforts of highly skilled individuals. Our future success depends on our continuing ability to identify,
hire, develop, motivate, and retain highly skilled personnel for all areas of our organization. Our continued ability to compete effectively
depends on our ability to retain and motivate existing employees. Due to our reliance upon skilled laborers, the failure to attract, integrate,
motivate, and retain current and/or additional key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and
financial condition. We do not maintain key person life insurance for any of our employees.
18
Our management team may not be able to successfully
implement our business strategies.
If our management team is
unable to execute on its business strategies, then our development, including the establishment of revenues and our sales and marketing
activities would be materially and adversely affected. In addition, we may encounter difficulties in effectively managing the budgeting,
forecasting and other process control issues presented by any future growth. We may seek to augment or replace members of our management
team, or we may lose key members of our management team, and we may not be able to attract new management talent with sufficient skill
and experience.
Significant disruptions of our information
technology systems or breaches of our data security could adversely affect our business.
A significant invasion, interruption,
destruction or breakdown of our information technology systems and/or infrastructure by persons with authorized or unauthorized access
could negatively impact our business and operations. We could also experience business interruption, information theft and/or reputational
damage from cyber-attacks, which may compromise our systems and lead to data leakage either internally or at our third party providers.
The risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly through cyberattacks or cyber intrusion, including by computer hackers, foreign
governments, and cyber terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions
from around the world have increased. If such an event were to interrupt our operations, it could result in a material disruption of our
product development programs. Our systems have been, and are expected to continue to be, the target of malware and other cyber-attacks.
Although we have invested in measures to reduce these risks, we cannot assure that these measures will be successful in preventing compromise
and/or disruption of our information technology systems and related data.
A decline in the price of our common stock
could affect our ability to raise working capital and adversely impact our ability to continue operations.
A prolonged decline in the
price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital.
A decline in the price of our common stock could be especially detrimental to our liquidity and our operations. Such reductions may force
us to reallocate funds from other planned uses and may have a significant negative effect on our business plan and operations, including
our ability to develop new services and continue our current operations. If our common stock price declines, we can offer no assurance
that we will be able to raise additional capital or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet our obligations. If we are unable
to raise sufficient capital in the future, we may not be able to have the resources to continue our normal operations.
The requirements of being a public company
may strain our resources and distract management.
As a public company, we are
subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). These requirements are extensive. The Exchange Act requires that we
file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that
we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting.
19
We may incur significant costs
associated with our public company reporting requirements and costs associated with applicable corporate governance requirements. We expect
all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities
more time consuming and costly. This may divert management’s attention from other business concerns, which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations
may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept
reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be
more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We are
currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional
costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.
Future changes in financial accounting standards
or practices may cause adverse unexpected financial reporting fluctuations and affect reported results of operations.
A change in accounting standards
or practices can have a significant effect on our reported results and may even affect our reporting of transactions completed before
the change is effective. New accounting pronouncements and varying interpretations of accounting pronouncements have occurred and may
occur in the future. Changes to existing rules or the questioning of current practices may adversely affect our reported financial results
or the way we conduct business.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.
Not applicable to smaller
reporting companies.
Item 2. Properties.
Our principal executive office
is currently located at 10 HaRimon Street, Mevo Carmel Science and Industrial Park, Israel. In July 2018 and June 2019, Duke Israel executed
two independent lease agreements (the “2018 Lease” and the “2019 Lease”) to lease separate spaces at the address
of our principal executive office. The July 2018 Lease was in effect until June 30, 2020 and afterwards continues on a monthly basis,
subject to a 60 days’ prior notice of termination, while the June 2019 Lease is in effect for 12 months from the date thereof and
includes two successive optional extension periods of 12 months each. In April 2022, Duke Israel entered into a lease agreement for an
office space in Mevo Carmel Science and Industry Park, Israel for a term of 3 years, with an option to extend the term of the lease agreement
for an additional 2 years. The April 2022 property became available for Company’s use at February 2023. In addition, pursuant to
an agreement entered into by Duke, we have the right to use office space and receive other administrative services at a location in the
State of Florida.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
We
are currently not a party to any pending legal proceeding, nor is our property the subject of a pending legal proceeding, that we believe
is not ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business or otherwise material to the financial condition of our business.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
You should read the following
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our audited annual consolidated financial statements
as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and accompanying notes appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. This discussion and analysis
contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The actual results may differ materially from those
anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under “Risk
Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report. All amounts are in U.S. dollars and rounded.
Company Overview
On March 9, 2020, Duke and
certain shareholders of Duke entered into the Share Exchange with the Company, pursuant to which approximately 99% of the issued and outstanding
shares of common stock of Duke were purchased by the Company in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock, resulting in
Duke becoming a subsidiary of the Company. Following the Share Exchange, the Company has adopted the business plan of Duke.
On April 29, 2020, the Company,
Duke, and UAS Sub, entered into the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which UAS Sub was to merge, upon the satisfaction of customary closing
conditions, with and into Duke. Upon closing of the Short-Form Merger, each outstanding share of UAS Sub’s common stock, par value
$0.0001 per share, was to be converted into and become one share of common stock of Duke, with Duke surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company acquired the remaining outstanding shares of Duke held by certain stockholders
of Duke that did not participate in the Share Exchange Agreement. At the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement,
the Company was to issue 63,856 shares to certain Duke stockholders, and Duke will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. On
June 25, 2020, Duke filed a Certificate of Merger with the State of Delaware, and consequently, Duke became a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company, and the Short-Form Merger was consummated.
As the result of the Share
Exchange and the change in business and operations of the Company, a discussion of the past financial results of the Company is not pertinent,
and under applicable accounting principles the historical financial results of Duke, the accounting acquirer, prior to the Share Exchange
are considered the historical financial results of the Company.

Comparison of the year ended December 31,
2022 to the year ended December 31, 2021
Revenues . We had no
revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we had $500,000 in revenues related to the Collaboration
Agreement with Elbit.
Research and Development .
During the year ended December 31, 2022, we had $20,000 research and development expenses, compare to $14,000 in research and development
expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021. Our research and development expenses, for the year ended December 31, 2022, consisted
primarily of professional services. Our research and development activity is pending our evaluation of additional different applications
for use of our technology and know-how including for its use in the civil market, while the research and development activities of the
TIKAD product is carried out by ELBIT according to the Collaboration Agreement.
General and Administrative
Expenses . For the year ended December 31, 2022, our general and administrative expenses amounted to $1,104,000, of which $598,000
were related to professional services, such as accounting, auditing, insurance costs, consulting and legal services, and $426,000
were related to stock-based compensation expenses, and were $1,026,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021, of which $521,000 were related
to professional services and $416,000 related to stock-based compensation expenses. This increase in general and administrative expenses
for the year ended December 31, 2022 was mainly due to an increase in professional services of $51,000.
Financial Expenses .
For the year ended December 31, 2022, our financial expenses amounted to $19,000 and were $448,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021.
The reason for the decrease in financial expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022, was mainly due to the decrease in interest expense
related to our previously outstanding convertible loans which were repaid and/or converted in full during 2021.
22
Financial Income .
For the year ended December 31, 2022, our financial income amounted to $42,000 and were $2,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The
reason for the increase in financial expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022, was mainly due to the interest income on bank deposits
resulted from the increase in interest rates.
Net Loss . For the
year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded a net loss of $1,101,000 and $888,000, respectively, which represented an increase
compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, of $213,000.
Critical Accounting Policies
This MD&A of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). In connection with the preparation of our financial statements,
we were required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience,
current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared.
On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements
are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty,
actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.
Our significant accounting
policies are discussed in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the notes to consolidated financial statement,
which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Our management believes that, as for the financial statements for the periods
included in this prospectus, the accounting for share based compensation is critical accounting policy. However, due to the early stage
of operations of our Company, there are no other accounting policies that are considered to be critical accounting policies by management
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since
inception, we have devoted substantially all our efforts to research and development and have incurred accumulated losses of $9,016,000.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, our loss of $1,101,000 included
non-cash stock-based compensation of $426,000. As of December 31, 2022, we had a working capital of $2,674,000, as compared to a
working capital of $3,389,000 as of December 31, 2021.
As of December 31, 2022, we
had a cash balance of $2,849,000 compared to the cash balance of $3,560,000 as of December 31, 2021. The reason for the decrease in our
cash balance was mainly due to the operating expenses describe above and the purchase of property and equipment.
Since our inception we and
Duke have funded our operations through equity and debt financing, bank loans, loans provided by shareholders and demonstration projects
of its technology to potential customers.
23
Since Duke’s inception
and until 2017, certain Duke affiliates provided loans to Duke from time to time, as needed. Before entering into the Share Exchange,
Duke entered into debt cancellation letters (the “Debt Cancellation Letters”) with regard to the Stockholders Loans. Pursuant
to the Debt Cancellation Letters the accumulated interest on the Stockholders’ Loans was waived and 842,135 shares of Duke’s
common stock were issued in exchange for the cancellation of $623,180 in debt, leaving $280,000 of outstanding Stockholders Loans (the
“Outstanding Stockholders’ Loans”). The Outstanding Stockholders’ Loans, including the accumulated interest amount,
shall be repaid on the later of the following: (i) three years after the Effective Date; or (ii) Duke raised capital amounting to at least
$15 million following the Effective Date and the Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization of Duke has reached an amount
of $3 million.
As of December 31, 2022, and
December 31, 2021, the outstanding balances of such stockholders’ loans were $305,000 and $297,000, respectively.
On September 2, 2019, we executed
the Promissory Note having a total principal amount of $35,000 bearing interest at 6% per annum and maturing September 2, 2021. The Promissory
Note was a non-recourse and carried no personal guarantees. In conjunction with the consummation of the Share Exchange, and as a condition
thereof, on March 6, 2020, we entered into several Securities Exchange Agreements, on the same terms, to exchange the Promissory Note
for 9,623,621 shares of our Common Stock. On May 18, 2021, we issued 54,019 shares of Common Stock of the Company, to several holders
pursuant to the terms of the Security Exchange Agreements pursuant to which, such holders were entitled to an anti-dilution clause in
the event that the Convertible Debentures were converted into shares of our Common Stock.
In connection with the Share
Exchange, immediately prior to the Effective Time, we entered into several Convertible Loan Agreements, on the same terms, in the aggregate
amount of $965,000. The terms of the Convertible Loan Agreements required repayment of the borrowed amount by the one-year anniversary
of the Effective Time, unless, at our discretion, and subject to its compliance with any and all terms of the material terms of the Convertible
Loan Agreements, the term of such loans is extended for an additional twelve (12) month period. The terms of the Convertible Loan Agreements
also provide that we may repay any portion of the remaining outstanding loan amount, without penalty, provided, however, that the Company
provides the specific lender with three business days’ written notice prior to such repayment, during which time the lender may
elect to convert any or all of the outstanding loan amount into shares of common stock of the Company. The Convertible Loan Agreements
bore simple interest at a rate equal to 15% per annum, payable on the 15th day of each calendar month. On December 9, 2020, we utilized
our rights under the Convertible Loan Agreements and extended the terms of the loans for an additional twelve months. During March 2021,
a portion of the Convertible Debentures, representing principal amount of $130,000 was converted into 347,594 shares of Common Stock and
during May 2021, we repaid the full balance of the principal of the Convertible Loans in the amount of $835,000.
Also, in connection with the
Share Exchange, we entered into Exchange Agreements with our outstanding debt with Alpha and GBC to respectively cancel existing debentures
or debt in the total amount of $658,323 and in exchange issue new debentures in the aggregate amount of $400,000 and issue 698,755 and
65,198 shares of common stock to each of Alpha and GBC, respectively. The New Debentures matured three years from the Effective Date,
bore interest at a rate of 8% per year and were only convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, at an original conversion
price of $0.3740; provided, however, that such Original Conversion Price shall be adjusted downward in the event that the Company, as
applicable, sells or grants any options to purchase or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose or issues any common
stock or common stock equivalents entitling any purchaser to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock at an effective price
per share that is lower than the Original Conversion Price (such issuance, a “Dilutive Event”). In the event of a Dilutive
Event at any time from the Effective Time through the six (6) month anniversary of the Effective Time, any such adjustment shall occur
immediately after the completion of such period. Subsequent to March 31, 2021, a portion of the Convertible Debentures, representing an
aggregate amount of $110,614 (including interest) was converted into 295,759 shares of Common Stock. During May 2021, we prepaid the full
balance of the principal and interest amount of the Convertible Debentures in the amount of $108,541.
24
On May 11, 2021, we entered
into securities purchase agreements with eight (8) non-U.S. Investors, pursuant to which we, in a private placement offering, agreed to
issue and sell to investors an aggregate of: (i) 12,500,000 shares of our Common Stock at a price of $0.40 per share; and (ii) warrants
to purchase 12,500,000 of our Common Stock. The warrants were exercisable immediately and for a term of 18 months and have an exercise
price of $0.40 per share. The aggregate gross proceeds from the offering were approximately $5,000,000 and the offering closed on May
11, 2021. On April 5, 2022, we amended the terms of the warrants such that they now expire on November 11, 2023.
We
believe that we have sufficient cash to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. Readers are advised that available resources
may be consumed more rapidly than currently anticipated, resulting in the need for additional funding sooner than expected. Should this
occur, we will need to seek additional capital earlier than anticipated in order to fund (1) further development and, if needed (2) expenses
which will be required in order to expand manufacturing of our products, (3) sales and marketing efforts and (4) general working capital.
Such funding may be unavailable to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Our failure to obtain such funding when needed could create a negative
impact on our stock price or could potentially lead to the failure of our company. This would particularly be the case if we are unable
to commercially distribute our products and services in the jurisdictions and in the timeframes we expect.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure
about Market Risk
Not applicable to smaller
reporting companies.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary
Data.
All information required by
this item is included in Item 15 of Part IV of this Annual Report and is incorporated into this item by reference.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants
on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
On
January 6, 2023, our Board of Directors dismissed Halperin Ilanit CPA (the “Former Auditor”) as our independent registered
public accounting firm.
The
audit reports of the Former Auditor on our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 contained no adverse
opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that
the report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 contained an explanatory paragraph stating that there was substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern.
During
the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were (i) no “disagreements” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv)
of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between us and the Former Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the Former
Auditor, would have caused the Former Auditor to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in its reports on the Company’s
financial statements and (ii) no “reportable events” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K and the
related instructions).
25
On
January 6, 2023, our Board of Directors approved the engagement of Somekh Chaikin, a member firm of KPMG International ( the “New
Auditor”) as our independent registered public accounting firm, effective upon the effectiveness of the dismissal of the Former
Auditor. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, neither we, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted the New Auditor regarding
(i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that
might be rendered on our financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to us by the New Auditor that the New
Auditor concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting
issue or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a “disagreement” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation
S-K and the related instructions) or a “reportable event” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls
and procedures that are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the
Exchange Act, such as this Annual Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by SEC rules
and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, as in place
as of December 31, 2022, evaluated, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2022, pursuant to paragraph
(b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act. This evaluation included a review of the controls’ objectives and design,
the operation of the controls, and the effect of the controls on the information presented in this Annual Report. Our management, including
the CEO and CFO, do not expect that disclosure controls can or will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud, if any. A control system,
no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system
are met. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to
be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and
communicated to management, including our CEO and CFO, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. Also, the projection of any evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures to future periods is subject
to the risk that the disclosure controls and procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Based on their review and
evaluation, and subject to the inherent limitations described above, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of December 31, 2022, at the above-described
reasonable assurance level.
During the year ended December
31, 2022, 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 an
Independent Audit Committee that can provide management oversight.
26
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under
the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Because of inherent limitations,
internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even internal controls determined to be
effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. The effectiveness of
our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in
decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. The projection
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies may deteriorate. Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that
any system of internal control over financial reporting will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material
information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.
This Annual Report does not
include an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of
the Commission that exempt from this requirement issuers that are neither accelerated filers nor large accelerated filers.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
Other than the hiring of a full time CEO, there has been no change
in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control
over Financial Reporting
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s
management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we assessed the effectiveness of our internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, management,
as in place as of December 31, 2022, determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2022, was not effective due to the material weakness previously identified as stated above.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Code of Ethics
We uphold a set of basic values
to guide our actions and are committed to maintaining the highest standards of business conduct and corporate governance. Effective March
9, 2020, we adopted an Amended and Restated Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for directors, officers (including our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer) and employees, which, in conjunction with our Certificate of Incorporation, and Bylaws, as amended
(the “Bylaws”) form the framework for governance of UAS. The Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, Bylaws and Article of Incorporation
are available at our corporate offices. Stockholders may request free printed copies of these documents from:

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Exchange
Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports regarding ownership
of, and transactions in, our securities with the SEC and to provide us with copies of those filings.
We have reviewed all forms
provided to us or filed with the SEC. Based on that review and on written information given to us by our executive officers and directors,
we believe that all Section 16(a) filings during the past fiscal year were filed on a timely basis and that all directors, executive officers
and 10% beneficial owners have fully complied with such requirements during the past fiscal year.
Committees of the Board of Directors
We do not have an audit or
compensation committee and have no independent directors that examines transactions of the nature described herein this item. We do not
have any audit or compensation committee. The board of directors performs these functions as a whole. Thus, there is a potential conflict
in that board members who are also part of management will participate in discussions concerning management compensation and audit issues
that may affect management decisions. To the extent possible, a majority of the disinterested members of our board of directors will approve
future affiliated transactions. Additionally, because the Company’s Common Stock is not listed for trading or quotation on a national
securities exchange, we are not required to have such committees.
Nominees to the Board of Directors
During the Company’s
2022 fiscal year, there were no material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to the board of directors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
UAS Drone Corp.:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet of UAS Drone Corp., and its subsidiary (the Company) as of December 31, 2022, the related consolidated statements of
comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes
(collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the year ended December 31, 2022 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements
based on our audit. 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 audit in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
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 audit, 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 audit included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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
consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from
the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee
and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially
challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

NOTE 1 –
GENERAL
UAS Drone Corp. (“the Company”
or “USDR”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 4, 2015.
On March 9, 2020, the Company closed
on the Share Exchange Agreement (as defined hereunder), pursuant to which, Duke Robotics, Inc. (“Duke Inc.”) a corporation
incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware, became a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company. Duke Inc. has a wholly-owned
subsidiary, Duke Airborne Systems Ltd. (“Duke Israel,” and collectively with Duke Inc., “Duke”), which was formed
under the laws of the State of Israel in March 2014 and became the sole subsidiary of Duke after its incorporation.
On April 29, 2020, the Company, Duke
Inc., and UAS Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“UAS Sub”), executed
an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which UAS Sub merged with and into Duke Inc., with Duke
Inc. surviving as our wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Short-Form Merger”). Upon closing of the Short-Form Merger, each outstanding
share of UAS Sub’s common stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share, was converted into and became one share of common stock of Duke Inc.,
with Duke Inc. surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Following the above
transactions, Duke Israel is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Duke Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
The Company (collectively with Duke,
the “Group”) is a robotics company dedicated to the development of an advanced robotics stabilization system that enables
remote, real-time, pinpoint accurate firing of small arms and light weapons as well as other civilian applications with an emphasis on
the field of infrastructure maintenance. The Company’s advanced robotics system is able to achieve pinpoint accuracy regardless
of the movement of the weapons platform or the target.
Effective October 22, 2020, Company’s
common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets Group, Inc.’s OTCQB® tier Venture Market, under the symbol “USDR”.
NOTE 2
– SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements
are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
A. Liquidity
Since inception, the Company has incurred losses and negative
cash flows from operations. The Company has financed its operations mainly through fundraising from various investors.
Based on the projected cash flows and
cash balances as of the date of these financial statements, management is of the opinion that its existing cash will be sufficient to
meet its obligations for a period which is longer than 12 months from the date of the approval of these consolidated financial statements.
B. Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements
The preparation of consolidated financial
statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, certain revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As applicable to these financial
statements, the most significant estimates and assumptions relate to share based compensation.

NOTE 2
– SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continue)
C. Functional currency
A majority of the Group’s revenues is generated in
U.S. dollars. In addition, most of the Group’s costs are denominated and determined in dollars. Management believes that the dollar
is the currency in the primary economic environment in which the Group operates. Thus, the functional and reporting currency of the Group
is the U.S. dollar. Transactions and monetary balances in other currencies are translated into the functional currency using the current
exchange rate.
Accordingly, monetary accounts maintained
in currencies other than the dollar are remeasured into dollars in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 830, “Foreign
Currency Matters”. All transaction gains and losses of the remeasured monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the statements
of operations as financial income or expenses, as appropriate.
D. Principles of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries Duke Inc., and Duke Israel. All significant intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
E. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash equivalents are short-term highly
liquid investments which include short term bank deposits (up to three months from date of deposit), that are not restricted as to withdrawals
or use that are readily convertible to cash with maturities of three months or less as of the date acquired.
F. Property and equipment, net
1. Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets. When an asset is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation
are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition is reflected in the Statements
of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
2. Rates of depreciation:
%
Furniture and office equipment
7 - 15
Computers
33
Office improvements
5
G. Impairment of long-lived assets
The Group’s long-lived assets
are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant
and Equipment”, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted
cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured
by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. No impairment expenses were recorded during the years
ended December 31, 2022 or 2021.

UAS DRONE, CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(USD in thousands)
NOTE 2
– SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continue)
H. Income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for
under the asset and liability method. The Group accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic
740, “Income Taxes”. Accordingly, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of
differences between the financial accounting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities under the applicable tax law. Deferred tax
balances are computed using the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when these differences reverse. Valuation allowances in
respect of deferred tax assets are provided for, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts more likely than not to be
realized.
The Group accounts for uncertain tax
positions in accordance with ASC Topic 740-10, which prescribes detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement
and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. According to ASC Topic 740-10, tax
positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. The Company’s accounting policy is to classify interest and penalties
relating to uncertain tax positions under income taxes, however the Company did not recognize such items in its fiscal 2022 and 2021 financial
statements and did not recognize any liability with respect to an unrecognized tax position in its balance sheets.
I. Revenue recognition
The Group recognizes revenue when it
satisfies performance obligations under the terms of its contracts, and control of its products is transferred to its customers in an
amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive from its customers in exchange for those products. This process
involves identifying the customer contract, determining the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price,
allocating the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations in the contract, and recognizing revenue when the performance
obligations have been satisfied. A performance obligation is considered distinct from other obligations in a contract when it (a) provides
a benefit to the customer either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer and (b) is separately
identified in the contract. The Company considers a performance obligation satisfied once it has transferred control of a good or product
to a customer, meaning the customer has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefit of the product.
J. Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses are
charged to operations as incurred.
K. Basic and diluted loss per share
Basic loss per share is computed by
dividing the loss for the period applicable to shareholders, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during
the period.
In computing diluted loss per share,
basic loss per share is adjusted to reflect the potential dilution that could occur upon the exercise of potential shares. Accordingly,
in 2022 and 2021, no potential shares are considered.
L. Stock-based compensation
The Company measures and recognizes
the compensation expense for all equity-based payments to non employees directors and officers based on their estimated fair values in
accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. Share-based payments including grants of stock options are recognized
in the statement of comprehensive loss as an operating expense based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant. The fair value
of stock options granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company has expensed compensation costs, net
of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis, over the requisite service period.

UAS DRONE, CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(USD in thousands)
NOTE 2
– SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continue)
M. Concentrations of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially
subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents as well as certain other current assets
that do not amount to a significant amount. Cash and cash equivalents, which are primarily held in Dollars and New Israeli Shekels, are
deposited with major banks in Israel and the United States. Management believes that such financial institutions are financially sound
and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these financial instruments. The Company does not have any significant off-balance-sheet
concentration of credit risk, such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.
N. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company records accruals for loss
contingencies arising from claims, litigation and other sources when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount
can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are adjusted periodically as assessments change or additional information becomes available.
Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
O. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value of certain of the
Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, account payable, accrued expenses, notes payables, and
other accrued liabilities approximate cost because of their short maturities. The Company measures and reports fair value in
accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure” (“ASC 820”) defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures
about fair value investments.
Fair value, as defined in ASC 820,
is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date. The fair value of an asset should reflect its highest and best use by market participants, principal (or most
advantageous) markets, and an in-use or an in-exchange valuation premise. The fair value of a liability should reflect the risk of non-performance,
which includes, among other things, the Company’s credit risk.
Valuation techniques are generally
classified into three categories: the market approach; the income approach; and the cost approach. The selection and application of one
or more of the techniques may require significant judgment and are primarily dependent upon the characteristics of the asset or liability,
and the quality and availability of inputs. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable
inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 also provides fair value hierarchy for inputs and resulting measurement as
follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted)
in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar
assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active;
inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated
by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

NOTE 2
– SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continue)
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the
asset or liability that are supported by little or no market activity, and that are significant to the fair values.
Fair value measurements are required
to be disclosed by the Level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. Fair value measurements
using significant unobservable inputs (in Level 3 measurements) are subject to expanded disclosure requirements including a reconciliation
of the beginning and ending balances, separately presenting changes during the period attributable to the following: total gains or losses
for the period (realized and unrealized), segregating those gains or losses included in earnings, and a description of where those gains
or losses included in earning are reported in the statement of comprehensive loss.
P. Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement
is or contains a lease at contract inception.
Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, other current liabilities,
and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
ROU assets represent the
Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Group’s obligation to
make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on
the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company
generally uses the incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar
term of the lease payments at commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes
lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain
that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company monitors for events or
changes in circumstances that require a reassessment of one of its leases. When a reassessment results in the remeasurement of a lease
liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the corresponding ROU asset unless doing so would reduce the carrying
amount of the ROU asset to an amount less than zero. In that case, the amount of the adjustment that would result in a negative ROU asset
balance is recorded in statement of comprehensive loss.
As detailed in note 10(2)
below, the property became available for Company’s use at February 2023, therefore commencement date of the lease agreement
has not yet been met as of the balance sheet date and therefore an ROU asset and liability have not been recorded.

– AGREEMENTS
1. On January 29, 2021, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Duke Israel and Elbit Systems Land
Ltd., an Israeli corporation (“Elbit”), entered into a Collaboration Agreement (the “Agreement”) for the global
marketing and sales, and the production and further development of Duke Israel’s developed advanced robotic system mounted on an
Unmanned Aerial Solution (“UAS”), armed with lightweight firearms, which the Company markets under the commercial name “TIKAD.”
Pursuant to the Agreement, Duke Israel
granted Elbit a worldwide exclusive license for the use of Duke Israel’s know-how and intellectual property and the marketing, sales,
production, and further development of the TIKAD for military, defense, homeland security, and para-military uses.
As consideration for granting the worldwide
exclusive license, Elbit will pay Duke royalties from revenues received from worldwide sales of TIKAD, with royalty rates ranging from
low to mid-double-figure percentages, depending on the tiers of the selling price of TIKAD, for a period starting from the date of the
Agreement until 15 years following receipt of $ 50,000 in cumulative revenues from sales of TIKAD units. In addition, Duke Israel agreed
to pay Elbit similar rates of royalties for revenues received by Duke Israel from sales of its advanced robotic system for civil use,
if such systems will include new know-how developed by Elbit. No TIKAD units were sold during 2022 and 2021 by the Company or Elbit.

– AGREEMENTS (continue)
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement,
the parties also agreed to cooperate in continuing a project (the “Project”) that has already started with a customer in the
Asia Pacific region. Per the agreement, Duke Israel shall be entitled to portion of the revenues generated in the Evaluation Phase of
the Project. In addition, Elbit has agreed to invest, at its discretion and pursuant to certain milestones, in the further development
and setting up of serial production lines of TIKAD, and may elect to increase such investment subject to the satisfaction of certain criteria,
including Elbit’s right to terminate the Agreement if, for example, the Project is cancelled by the customer. Such investment amounts
will be made into Elbit’s owned assets and production lines of TIKAD. Elbit will recoup 50 % of its investment amount, up to $ 6,000 ,
by offsetting 50 % of royalty payments that may be due to Duke Israel. No revenues were generated from the Evaluation Phase of the Project
during 2022 and 2021.
In addition to the above Elbit paid Duke
Israel an upfront fee at the time of signing the Agreement for transfer of the engineering material and support for transferring the required
information to Elbit.
The upfront fee does not fall under the
scope of Topic 808, “Collaborative Arrangements” (“ASC 808”) nor Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts
with Customers” (“ASC 606”). The Company referred to ASC 606 for certain activities within the collaborative arrangement
for the delivery of a good or service and recorded the upfront fee as revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021.
2. On April 4, 2022, the Company signed a lease agreement for an office space in Mevo Carmel Science and
Industry Park, Israel for a term of 3 years, with an option to extend the term of the lease agreement for an additional 2 years. The monthly
lease payments under the lease agreement, for the first two years are approximately $ 5,200 and for the third year approximately $ 5,400 .
The monthly lease payments for the option period will be agreed between the parties, with a minimum increase of 5 % above the third years
monthly payments. The property became available for Company’s use at February 2023, therefore commencement date of the lease agreement
has not yet been met as of balance sheet date. Based on the lease agreement terms, the Company made a deposit of $ 15 as a guarantee for
its lease commitments.
3. On August 15, 2022 Duke Israel, signed a Collaboration and Development Agreement with the Israel Electric
Corporation Ltd. (IEC), to implement and test during a pilot with IEC a robotic drone-enabled system for cleaning electric utility insulators, that is in development by Duke Israel. ICE is a public and 99 % government-owned company that generates, transmits,
and supplies electricity to all sectors of the State of Israel.
The Company is entitled to be reimbursed
for a portion of its research and development expenses related to this agreement. Such research and development expenses are recorded
in deferred expenses. The income and deferred expense will be recorded in profit and loss when the Company satisfies its obligation according
to the agreement.

INCOME TAX
U.S. resident companies are taxed on
their worldwide income for corporate income tax purposes at a statutory rate of 21 % this reflects certain effects of the Act which includes
a reduction in the corporate tax rate from 35 % to 21 % as well as other changes. No further taxes are payable on this profit unless that
profit is distributed. If certain conditions are met, income derived from foreign subsidiaries is tax exempt in the US under applicable
tax treaties to avoid double taxation.
Income of the Israeli company is taxable
from 2018 onwards, at corporate tax rate of 23 %.
The Company and subsidiaries have not
received final tax assessments since its inception although the tax reports of Duke Israel for the years ended by December 31, 2017 are
deemed to be final.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company
and subsidiaries have carry forward losses for tax purposes of approximately $1,521 and $2,486, respectively, which can be offset against
