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 CEO and the 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, 2024, evaluated, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures
as of December 31, 2024, 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, 2024, at the above-described reasonable assurance level.
During the years ended December
31, 2024 and 2023, management identified the following weaknesses, which were deemed to be material weaknesses in internal controls:
1.
Due to the size of the Company and available resources, there is a lack of sufficient segregation of duties.
2. The Company does not have an
Independent Audit Committee that can provide management oversight.
26
Remediation Measures
We
plan to remediate these material weaknesses by enhancing our segregation of duties and internal control over financial reporting and by
electing an additional independent director (as defined under Nasdaq Listing Rules) to the board of directors and establish an Audit Committee,
which will assist our board of directors in overseeing our accounting and financial reporting processes, the audits of our financial statements
and internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee will also assist the board of directors in overseeing our compliance
with legal and regulatory requirements.
We believe the actions described
above, once put in place, will be sufficient to remediate the identified material weakness and strengthen our internal control over financial
reporting. However, the new and enhanced controls have not yet been put in place and therefore we cannot conclude that the material weakness
will be remediated. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these controls and will make any further changes management determines
appropriate.
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
There has been no change in
our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2024, 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, 2024. In making this assessment, management
used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO - 2013) in Internal Control
- Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, management, as in place as of December 31, 2024, determined that the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, 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 the Company. 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:

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
2024 fiscal year, there were no material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to the board of directors.
Insider Trading Policy
We have adopted an insider
trading policy (the “Policy”) governing the purchase, sale and other transactions in our securities that applies to our directors,
executive officers, employees, and other covered persons, including immediate family members and entities controlled by any of the foregoing
persons, as well as by the Company itself.
The Policy prohibits, among
other things, insider trading and certain speculative transactions in our securities (including short sales, buying put and selling call
options and other hedging or derivative transactions in our securities) and establishes a regular blackout period schedule during which
directors, executive officers, employees, and other covered persons may not trade in the Company’s securities, as well as certain
pre-clearance procedures that directors and executive officers must observe prior to effecting any transaction in our securities.
We believe that the Policy
is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and listing standards applicable to us.
A copy of the Policy is filed as Exhibit 19.1 to this Form 10-K.

Summary Information about Equity Compensation
Plans
Equity Compensation Plan Information
On May 27, 2021, our Board
of Directors approved the 2021 Plan, pursuant to which we 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. A summary
of the 2021 Plan is found below.
Under the 2021 Plan, options,
restricted share and RSUs may be granted to our officers, directors, employees and consultants or the officers, directors, employees and
consultants of our subsidiary. On March 18, 2025, our board of directors approved an increase in the amount of shares of Common Stock
available under the 2021 Plan from 4,800,000 to 9,000,000. To the extent that an award lapses or is forfeited, the shares subject to such
Award will again become available for grant under the terms of the 2021 Plan.
We do not have any formal
policy that requires the Company to grant, or avoid granting, equity-based compensation at certain times. We do not grant equity awards
in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information that is likely to result in changes to the price of our common stock,
and do not time the public release of such information based on award grant dates. The timing of any equity grants to executive officers
or directors in connection with new hires, promotions, or other non-routine grants is tied to the event giving rise to the award (such
as an executive officer’s commencement of employment or promotion effective date).
On March 18, 2025, our board
of directors approved the following grants: (i) 1,000,000 options to purchase shares of Common Stock to Mr. Yossef Balucka, our CEO; (ii)
500,000 options to purchase shares of Common Stock to Mr. Vadim Maor, our CTO, (iii) 120,000 options to purchase shares of Common Stock
to Ms. Gousman, our newly appointed Director, (iv) 400,000 options to purchase shares of Common Stock to Mrs. Alexandra Papaconstantinou
the appointed Managing Director of Duke Greece, (v) 50,000 options to purchase shares of Common Stock to Mr. Shlomo Zakai, our CFO.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Duke Robotics Corp. (formerly: UAS Drone Corp.):
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets of Duke Robotics Corp. (formerly: UAS Drone Corp.) and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and
2023, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the
years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, 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, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period
ended December 31, 2024, 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 audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB)
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the 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 audits, we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the 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 audits 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 audits provide
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: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially
challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(USD in thousands, except share and per share data)
NOTE 1 –
GENERAL
A. DUKE ROBOTICS CORP. ( FORMERLY UAS DRONE CORP .)
(“the Company”) 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 became 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 developing 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 in the field of routine infrastructure maintenance. The Company offers high-voltage insulator washing abilities using
its innovative Insulator Cleaning (“IC”) Drone system. This technology provides an efficient and safe method for
cleaning high-voltage insulators, improving their performance, enhancing safety, and reducing maintenance costs.
On October 28, 2024, the Company
filed a certificate of amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State to change the Company’s
corporate name from UAS Drone Corp. to DUKE Robotics Corp. effective as of November 4, 2024.
The Company’s Common Stock
is quoted on the OTC Markets Group, Inc.’s OTCQB® tier Venture Market, under the symbol “DUKR”
(“USDR” prior to November 4, 2024).

October 2023, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of horrific
terrorist attacks on civilian and military targets. Following the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war and commenced
a military campaign in Gaza against Hamas. Since the commencement of these events, there have been additional active hostilities,
including military operations focused in southern Lebanon against Hezbollah, air force operations against the Houthi movement in
Yemen and multiple airstrikes in Iran, in response to Iranian missile attacks. In October 2024, Israel began ground operations
against Hezbollah in Lebanon culminating in a 60-day cease fire agreed to between Israel and Lebanon on November 27, 2024. On
January 27, 2025, the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon was extended to February 18, 2025. Following February 18,
2025, Israeli forces retained control over strategic positions in southern Lebanon while seeking for diplomatic
efforts to resolve the dispute. On January 19, 2025, a temporary ceasefire between Israel and Hamas went into effect, the result of
which is uncertain. While ceasefire agreements have been reached, there is no guarantee that the parties will continue to comply
with the terms of the agreements and, accordingly, it is possible that these hostilities will resume with little to no warning and
that additional terrorist organizations and, possibly, countries will actively join the hostilities. Such clashes may escalate in
the future into a greater regional conflict.
Due to the fact that most of our operations are
conducted in Israel and all members of the Company’s board of directors, management, as well as a majority of its employees and consultants, including
employees of its service providers, are located in Israel, the Company’s business and operations are directly affected by economic, political, geopolitical
and military conditions affecting Israel. Although the current war has not materially impacted the Company’s business or operations as of the date
of this report, any escalation or expansion of the war could have a negative impact on both global and regional conditions and may adversely
affect the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.
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. 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.
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.
C. 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.

D. Functional currency
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 comprehensive loss as financial income or expenses, as appropriate.
E. 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.
F. Property, plant 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 Comprehensive Loss.
2. Rates of depreciation :

Furniture and office equipment
7 - 15
Computers

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, 2024 or 2023.

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 taxes are determined
based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement carrying amount 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. Taxes on GILTI are accounted for as period costs similar to special deductions.
The Group accounts for tax
positions in accordance with ASC Topic 740-10, which prescribes detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition,
measurement and disclosure of tax positions in an enterprise’s financial statements. According to ASC Topic 740-10, tax
positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. Recognized tax positions are measured as the largest amount of tax
benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized. The Company’s accounting policy is to classify interest and
penalties relating to income taxes under income taxes, however the Company did not recognize such items in its fiscal
2024 and 2023 financial statements and did not record any unrecognized tax benefits in its balance
sheets.
I. Revenue recognition
The Group provides services to customers
and has related performance obligations and recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606. Revenues are recognized when the
Group satisfies performance obligations under the terms of its contracts, and control of its services or 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. The Company has elected to use the practical expedient provided
in ASC 606-10-55-18, which allows revenue to be recognized in the amount to which the Company has a right to invoice. This method is applied
to contracts where the invoicing aligns with the performance obligations satisfied over time. (see note 11(2)).
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 2024 and 2023, 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”. Stock-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, over the requisite
service period.
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, accounts payable, 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.

NOTE 2
– SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continue)
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
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.

Q. New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting
Standards
Segment Reporting: In November 2023,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment
Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. It requires incremental disclosures related to an entity’s
reportable segments, including (i) significant segment expense categories and amounts for each reportable segment that are provided to
the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), (ii) an aggregate amount and description of other segment items included in each
reported measure, (iii) all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets required by Topic 280 to be
disclosed in interim periods, (iv) the title and position of the individual or the name of the group identified as the CODM and (v) an
explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of segment profit or loss to assess performance and allocate resources to the segment.
The standard improves transparency by providing disaggregated expense information about an entity’s reportable segments. The standard
does not change the definition of a segment, the method for determining segments or the criteria for aggregating operating segments into
reportable segments. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this guidance retrospectively, providing the additional disclosures as
required. See note 15, for more information.
Accounting Standards Not Yet
Adopted
Income Taxes: In December
2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU
2023-09”). The amendments in this ASU add specific requirements for income tax disclosures to improve transparency and
decision usefulness. The guidance in ASU 2023-09 requires that public business entities disclose specific categories in the income
tax rate reconciliation and provide additional qualitative information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. In
addition, the amendments in ASU 2023-09 require that all entities disclose the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal,
state, and foreign taxes and disaggregated by individual jurisdictions. The ASU also includes other disclosure amendments related to
the disaggregation of income tax expense between federal, state and foreign taxes. The guidance is effective for the Company for
annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been
issued or made available for issuance. The amendments in this update should be applied on a prospective basis and retrospective
application is permitted. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material effect on its consolidated financial
statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2024-03 Income Statement- Reporting Comprehensive Income- Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The ASU improves the
disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and provides more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly
presented expense captions. The amendments require that at each interim and annual reporting period an entity will, inter alia, disclose
amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization included in each relevant expense caption (such
as cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses, and research and development). Amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disclosed
will be described qualitatively. Certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under currently effective U.S GAAP will be
included in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements. The amendments also require disclosing the total amount of selling
expenses and, in annual reporting periods, the definition of selling expenses. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently
evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.

A. 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 NIS 16.5 (approximately $ 4.6 ) and for the third year NIS 17.2 (approximately $ 4.8 ). 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. Lease payment are linked to the Israeli Consumer Price Index. The property became available for the Company’s use in February 2023. Based on the lease agreement terms, the Company made a deposit of $ 15 as a guarantee for its lease commitments. As of December 31, 2024, the Company estimates it will utilize the 2 years extension option under the above lease agreement.

On May 11, 2021, the Company signed a service agreement with a non
U.S. third party pursuant to which the service provider agreed to provide the Company with financial and project oversight services with
respect to the Offering. Pursuant to the service agreement, the Company agreed to pay the service provider (1) 6 % of the investment amounts
received which amounted to $ 351 and (2) options to receive a number of units (each unit for a price of $ 0.40 includes one share and one
warrant with an exercise price of $ 0.40 per share) equal to 6 % of the investment amount received, divided by $ 0.40 (totaling to 3,000,000
warrants).
In the event that the investors that
participated in the Offering exercise their Warrants, the service provider shall be entitled to receive an additional payment of (1) 6 %
of the investment amounts received (2) 6 % of the warrants exercised amounts received and (3) options to receive a number of units equal
to 6% of the warrants exercised amounts received, divided by $ 0.40 .
On April 5, 2022, the Company and the
investors executed an extension agreement, such that the term of the Warrants was extended so that they expire on November 11, 2023.
On November 1, 2023, the Company and
the investors executed an addition extension agreement, such that the term of the Warrants was extended so that they expire on November
11, 2024.
On June 20, 2024, the Company
entered into a warrant amendment agreement with certain existing warrant holders (the “Holders”) of certain Common Stock
purchase warrants (the “June 2024 Amendment”). According to the June 2024 Amendment agreement, the Company and Holders agreed to (i) extend the warrant exercise
term to May 11, 2026; (ii) amend the warrant exercise price and increase it from $ 0.40 per share to $ 0.65 per share; and (iii)
include a beneficial ownership blocker that limits the exercise of such warrants if such exercise would result in the holder
beneficially owning in excess of 19.99 % of the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock immediately after giving effect
to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant.
The Company accounted for the
Warrants amendments as deemed dividends. The fair value of the Warrants modifications was estimated using the

NOTE 11
– 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. Duke Israel has requested information from Elbit regarding sales and royalties related to drone-mounted
remote weapon systems, as stipulated in the Agreement and it is in discussion with Elbit. No royalties were accrued during the years ended
December 31, 2024 and 2023.

– 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 during 2024 and 2023 or are expected to be generated under the Evaluation Phase of the Project.
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.
2. On August 15, 2022 Duke Israel, signed a Collaboration and Development
Agreement with the Israel Electric Corporation Ltd. (the “IEC”), to perform a test pilot together with IEC of a robotic drone-enabled
system for cleaning electric utility insulators to be developed by Duke Israel for a total amount of $ 300 . IEC is a 99 % government-owned company that generates, transmits, and supplies electricity to all sectors of the State of Israel. During October
2023, the Company successfully completed its obligations under the agreement with IEC upon delivery of the robotic drone, and accordingly
recorded revenues and corresponding expenses at that point in time. As part of the agreement, Duke Israel will be obligated to pay IEC
percentage of earned revenues for all future transactions relating to the developed technology up to a maximum of $ 900 .
Following the successful pilot program conducted with the IEC, in August
2024, the Company, through Duke Israel, entered into an agreement with the IEC to provide high-voltage insulator washing services using
the innovative IC Drone system.
Under the terms of the agreement, the
IEC will receive washing services for its high-voltage electric insulators using the IC Drone system and Duke Israel will receive compensation
based on services provided, in New Israeli Shekels (NIS) in an amount totaling in the low seven figures (in NIS) during the period that
services are provided. The Company accounts for the contract as a single performance obligation and recognizes revenue once it has a right
to issue an invoice for the services provided. Additionally, as part of the agreement, the IEC has committed to a minimum guaranteed paid
utilization of the service, amounting to approximately half of the total contract value described above, within the first year of the
agreement. This contract accounts for all of the revenues recognized during the period.
