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, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and accompanying notes appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. This discussion and analysis contain 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 We are a robotics company developing advanced robotics and drone-based systems. Our advanced robotic system enables remote, real-time, pinpoint accurate firing of small arms and light weapons that can achieve pinpoint accuracy regardless of the movement of the weapons platform or the target. We also introduced an insulator cleaning drone, which is a drone technology for conducting routine maintenance of critical infrastructure for cleaning electric utility cable insulators. We were founded in 2014 as UAS LLP, and until the consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement, we were a developer and manufacturer of commercial unmanned aerial systems, or drones, intending to provide 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 under which Duke Inc. became our majority-owned subsidiary. 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 Inc. On April 29, 2020, we, Duke Inc., and UAS Sub, executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger, under which UAS Sub was to merge, upon the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, with and into Duke Inc., with Duke Inc. surviving as our wholly-owned subsidiary. Under the Merger Agreement, we intended to acquire the remaining outstanding shares of Duke Inc. held by those certain Duke Inc. shareholders who did not participate in the Share Exchange. On June 25, 2020, Duke Inc. filed a Certificate of Merger with the State of Delaware, and consequently, Duke Inc. became our wholly-owned subsidiary and the Short-Form Merger was consummated. Duke Inc. has a wholly-owned subsidiary, Duke Israel, which was formed under the laws of the State of Israel in March 2014 and became the sole subsidiary of Duke Inc. after its incorporation. On February 18, 2025, we announced that we established Duke Greece, a wholly owned subsidiary, formed under the laws of Greece, and on February 24, 2025 we appointed Mrs. Alexandra Papaconstantinou to provide management services as the Managing Director of Duke Greece. Our mailing address is 10 HaRimon Street, Mevo Carmel, Israel 3903212, and our telephone number is +972-054-5707050. Our website address is https://dukeroboticsys.com. Effective as of October 22, 2020, our common stock began to be quoted on the OTCQB tier Venture Market, under the symbol “USDR”. Effective as of March 6, 2026, our commons stock began trading following the Reverse Stock Split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares, par value $0.0001 per share at a ratio of 25-for-1, under a new CUSIP Number 90344820 and under the symbol DUKRD for 20 trading days, in accordance with OTC Marketplace rules. 24 On January 29, 2021, we, through Duke Airborne Systems Ltd. (“Duke Israel”), and Elbit, entered into a Collaboration Agreement for the global marketing and sales, and the production and further development by Elbit of our developed advanced robotic system mounted on a UAS, armed with lightweight firearms, which we then marketed under the commercial name “TIKAD.” On April 2, 2025 we and Elbit executed a Supplement Letter to the Collaboration Agreement relating to the stabilized weapons drone system technology that Elbit has been marketing and deploying under the brand name “Birds of Prey”. Pursuant to the Supplement Letter, we and Elbit have agreed to expand their collaboration to allow us to market the system to military, defense, home-land security and para-military customers, in coordination with Elbit. We will be entitled to a commission fee, in the mid-single figure percentage range, from any proceeds resulting from our marketing activities, in addition to the royalties we are entitled to receive as part of the Collaboration Agreement. On August 15, 2022, Duke Israel introduced the IC Drone, a drone technology for conducting routine maintenance of critical infrastructure and signed an agreement with IEC to provide drone-enabled systems for cleaning electric utility cable insulators. During October 2023, we completed our obligations under the agreement with the IEC. This was followed in August 2024, by a new agreement with the IEC to utilize our innovative IC Drone system for cleaning electric utility cable insulators. On May 12, 2025, we announced the successful commencement of our 2025 insulator cleaning activity in Israel with the IEC under our previously announced service agreement. On June 10, 2025, we announced the launch of our next-generation IC Drone System - the ICDS2 - representing a significant technological advancement in our innovative utility maintenance drone solution. The ICDS2 features several key technological advancements over its predecessor, featuring extended flight time, higher payload capacity, enhanced stability, advanced radar and improved cleaning durability. It has been successfully deployed at the start of the insulator cleaning season in May 2025, marking a full-season operational timeline compared to 2024’s mid-season commencement. On October 28, 2024, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our 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. In connection with the Certificate of Amendment, we also filed an issuer notification form with FINRA reflecting our name change and requesting a change in our trading symbol from “USDR” to “DUKR”. Effective as of market open on Monday, November 4, 2024, the name changed to DUKE Robotics Corp. and the transition of our OTCQB ticker symbol from “USDR” to “DUKR” took effect. On October 15, 2025, we filed a certificate of amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State to increase our authorized common stock from 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, to 350,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and permit the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of blank-check preferred stock, effective as of October 15, 2025. In February 2026, we announced the introduction of AEROTRACE™, an aerial monitoring and intelligence solution integrating a combination of capabilities and developments in the fields of hardware, sensors, software and artificial intelligence (“AI”), including through collaboration with other parties, designed to support infrastructure operators in assessing asset conditions and enhancing situational awareness. AEROTRACE™ integrates aerial data capture with software-driven analytics, including AI-assisted image analysis, to help identify areas of interest and potential anomalies across large-scale and distributed infrastructure assets. AEROTRACE™ is designed to be deployed as a standalone monitoring solution and may also complement our existing robotic IC Drone services by informing maintenance planning and prioritization. The introduction of AEROTRACE™ reflects our ongoing efforts to expand its technology portfolio beyond robotic hardware to include data- and intelligence-driven solutions. 25 Operating Results The selected historical financial information presented below is derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 and Duke’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. The data set forth below should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes elsewhere in this annual report. Year ended December 31 USD in thousands 2025 2024 Revenues 377,000 108,000 Cost of revenues (198,000 ) (71,000 ) Gross profit 179,000 37,000 Research and development expenses (104,000 ) (157,000 ) General and administrative expenses (1,281,000 ) (905,000 ) Operating loss (1,206,000 ) (1,025,000 ) Financial income (expenses), net (25,000 ) 40,000 Other loss (10,000 ) - Net loss (1,241,000 ) (985,000 ) Other comprehensive gain (loss) - Foreign currency translation adjustments (2,000 ) - Comprehensive loss (1,243,000 ) (985,000 ) Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2025 to the year ended December 31, 2024 Revenues . We had $377,000 in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we had $108,000 in revenues. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to the expansion of our IC Drone service operations, following the successful launch of the full cleaning season in May 2025. During 2024, the Company commenced its cleaning operations midway through the season, which limited revenue generation for that period. The increase in revenue was partially offset by temporary disruptions to our regular business operations during the third quarter of 2025, resulting from the ongoing military operations in the Gaza Strip. Revenues also reflect the initial recognition of revenues from royalties derived from sales of the “Bird of Prey” stabilized weapons drone systems, through our Collaboration Agreement with Elbit, which contributed for the first time to our revenues, while the majority of the revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 continued to be generated from our IC Drone service activities. Cost of revenues . During the year ended December 31, 2025, we had $198,000 in cost of revenues expenses, compared to $71,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The cost of revenues mainly consists of operational expenses associated with our agreements with the IEC as detailed above. The increase in cost of revenues was primarily attributed to the growth in our IC Drone service activities. Research and Development . During the year ended December 31, 2025, we had $104,000 in research and development expenses, compared to $157,000 in research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in our research and development expenses are mainly due to allocating more resources to the execution of our IC Drone insulator service activities, and less to development activities. General and Administrative Expenses . For the year ended December 31, 2025, our general and administrative expenses amounted to $1,281,000, of which $871,000 were related to professional services, such as accounting, auditing, insurance costs, consulting and legal services, and $224,000 were related to stock-based compensation expenses, and were $905,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024, of which $686,000 were related to professional services and $28,000 related to stock-based compensation expenses. This increase in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025, was mainly due to an increase in professional services attributable to our expansion in Greece activities and officer compensation expenses, as well as in stock-based compensation expenses, attributable to equity awards granted in March 2025. 26 Financial Income (expenses), net . For the year ended December 31, 2025, our financial expenses amounted to $25,000 as compared to financial income of $40,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The reason for the increase in financial expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025, was mainly due to the decrease in the balance of our cash bank deposits which resulted in a decrease in interest income. Net Loss . For the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded a net loss of $1,241,000 and $985,000, respectively, which represented an increase of $256,000 in 2025 compared to 2024. Critical Accounting Policies This Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). In connection with the preparation of our financial statements, we are 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 and estimates are discussed in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” and “ Use of Estimates in the preparation of financial statements ” of the notes to consolidated financial statement, which are incorporated by reference into this annual report. Liquidity and Capital Resources Since inception, we have devoted substantially most our efforts to research and development and have incurred accumulated losses of $12,403,000. During the year ended December 31, 2025, our loss of $1,241,000 included non-cash stock-based compensation of $224,000. As of December 31, 2025, we had a working capital of $151,000 as compared to a working capital of $1,010,000 as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, we had a cash balance of $750,000 compared to a cash balance of $1,256,000 as of December 31, 2024. The reason for the decrease in our cash balance was mainly due to operating expenses described above. This balance excludes $275,000 received in January 2026 under our December 30, 2025, Securities Purchase Agreement. Cash used in operations for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $811,000 as compared to cash used in operations of $918,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The reason for the decrease in cash used in operations is mainly related to increase in trade receivable and other liabilities. 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. 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 (March 9, 2020); 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, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the outstanding balances of such stockholders’ loans were $330,000 and $322,000, respectively. 27 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) 500,000 shares of our Common Stock at a price of $10.00 per share; and (ii) warrants to purchase 500,000 of our Common Stock. The warrants were exercisable immediately and for a term of 18 months and have an exercise price of $10 per share. The aggregate gross proceeds from the offering were approximately $5,000,000 and the offering closed on May 11, 2021. On April 5, 2022, we entered into an agreement with the Investors pursuant to which we extended the term of the warrants, to expire on November 11, 2023. On November 1, 2023, we and the Investors executed a second extension agreement, such that the term of the warrants was extended to expire on November 11, 2024. On June 20, 2024, we entered into a Warrant Amendment Agreement with the Investors to amend the terms of the warrants issued in connection with the May 11, 2021 securities purchase agreements. Under the Warrant Amendment Agreement, we and the Investors agreed to: (i) extend the warrant exercise term to May 11, 2026; (ii) amend the warrant exercise price, increasing it from $10.00 per share to $16.25 per share; and (iii) include a beneficial ownership blocker that limits the exercise of such warrants if the exercise would result in the holder beneficially owning more than 19.99% of the Company’s common stock immediately following the exercise. On March 10, 2026, we entered into an additional Warrant Amendment Agreement with the Investors pursuant to which we extended the term of the warrants, to expire on May 1, 2031. On December 30, 2025, we entered into securities purchase agreements with seven (7) non-U.S. investors, pursuant to which we, in a private placement offering, agreed to issue and sell to the investors an aggregate of: (i) 83,338 shares of our common stock at a price of $9.00 per share); and (ii) warrants to purchase 83,338 shares of common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $16.25 per share, are exercisable immediately and expire on November 30, 2026, subject to extension to May 30, 2028 if a public offering or other qualifying financing of at least $2,500,000 has not occurred prior to such date. In addition, the securities purchase agreement contains a make whole provision that provides for the investors to receive additional shares of Common Stock in the event that we consummates a firm-commitment underwritten public offering on a major stock exchange by November 30, 2026 at a price per share (after giving effect to a 20% discount) that is less than the Purchase Price. The aggregate gross proceeds from the offering were approximately $750,000 and the offering closed on January 6, 2026. Proceeds from the offering were used for general corporate purposes and working capital, including supporting our operational and commercialization initiatives. On March 10, 2026, we entered into an additional Warrant Amendment Agreement with the Investors pursuant to which we extended the term of the warrants, to expire on May 1, 2031. Since our incorporation, we incurred losses from operations and net cash outflows from operating activities as reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows. As of December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $12,403,000, and we expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future. We have historically financed our operations primarily through fundraising from various investors and the revenues that were generated from our operations to date were not sufficient to cover our losses. As a result, we remain dependent upon external sources to finance our operations. There can be no assurance that we will succeed in obtaining the necessary financing to continue our operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern through at least twelve months from the date of this Annual Report. We currently believe that our existing capital resources will be sufficient to support our operating plan at least through the fourth quarter of 2026. To support our planned growth, strategic initiatives and general working capital needs, we will likely seek to raise additional capital through the issuance of debt, equity, or a combination thereof. There can be no assurance we will be successful in raising additional capital on favorable terms, or at all. Although we are actively pursuing opportunities to increase revenues, including the potential expansion of commercial sales in additional jurisdictions, some of these efforts remain at an early stage while other initiatives have progressed to more advanced stages of discussion. However, because none of these initiatives have resulted in binding agreements or firm commitments, there can be no assurance that any of them will materialize within our expected timeframes. If we are unable to successfully proceed with these initiatives, our need for additional capital may accelerate. 28 As a result, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may be required to reduce the scope of our operations, delay or discontinue development activities, limit our manufacturing or commercial expansion plans, or take other actions that could materially harm our business, financial condition, and operating results. If we obtain additional funds by selling any of our equity, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution, or the equity securities may have rights preferences or privileges senior to the common stock. If we issue debt securities, there may be negative covenants which may restrict our company’s activities. If adequate funds are not available to our company when needed on satisfactory terms, we may be required to cease operating or otherwise modify our business strategy. The financial statements included in this Annual Report do not include adjustments for measurement or presentation of assets and liabilities, which may be required should we fail to operate as a going concern.
