NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM 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 $
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 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.
B. | In October 2023, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of attacks on civilian and military targets. Hamas also launched extensive rocket attacks on Israeli population and industrial centers located along Israel’s border with the Gaza Strip and in other areas within the State of Israel. These attacks resulted in extensive deaths, injuries and kidnapping of civilians and soldiers. Following the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war against Hamas and a military campaign against these terrorist organizations commenced in parallel to their continued rocket and terror attacks. Following the attack by Hamas on Israel’s southern border, Hezbollah in Lebanon also launched missile, rocket, drone and shooting attacks against Israeli military sites, troops and Israeli towns in northern Israel. In addition, Iran recently launched direct attacks on Israel and has threatened to continue to attack Israel. Iran is also believed to have a strong influence among extremist groups in the region, such as Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen and various rebel militia groups in Syria and Iraq. While currently limited damage was registered in Israel from the Iranian attacks, the situation is developing and could lead to additional wars and hostilities in the Middle East. In October 2024, Israel began limited ground operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon. It is possible that the hostilities with Hezbollah will escalate, and that other terrorist organizations, including Palestinian military organizations in the West Bank, as well as other hostile countries, will join the hostilities. Such hostilities may include terror and missile attacks. |

NOTE 1 – GENERAL (continue)
Certain of our consultants in Israel may be called up for reserve duty. In addition, employees of our service providers located in Israel have been called for service and such persons may be absent for an extended period of time. In the event that hostilities disrupt our ongoing operations, our ability to deliver or provide services in a timely manner to meet our contractual obligations towards customers and vendors could be materially and adversely affected.
The intensity and duration of Israel’s current war against Hamas is difficult to predict, as are such war’s economic implications on the Company’s business and operations and on Israel’s economy in general. These events may be intertwined with wider macroeconomic indications of a deterioration of Israel’s economic standing, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company and its ability to effectively conduct its operations.
As of the date of these financial statements the Company has not experienced any significant adverse effect on its business activities or those of its subsidiaries as a result of the war. Since the war is not under the control of the Company, and whether the conflict continues or ceases may affect Company’s assessments, the Company continues to closely monitor developments on the matter and is examining the effects on its operations and the value of its assets.
C. |
On October 28, 2024, the Company filed an 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.
In connection with the Certificate of Amendment, the Company also filed an issuer notification form with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) reflecting its name change and requesting a change in its 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 its OTCQB ticker symbol from “USDR” to “DUKR” took effect. |
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the financial statements presented herein include all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of the management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial condition, results of operations, changes in shareholders equity and cash flows for the nine and three-months ended September 30, 2024. However, these results are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for the year ended December 31, 2024. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make certain estimates and assumptions for the reporting periods covered by the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Form 10-K. Since the date of such financial statements, there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continue)
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company include the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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.
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.
Accounting Standards Updates Issued, but Not Adopted
Income Taxes: In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. 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. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective 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.
Segment Reporting: In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. These amendments require, among other things, that a public entity that has a single reportable segment provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this ASU and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 208. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods withing fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. A public entity should apply the amendments retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Readers are advised to review the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”. You should review the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.
We are a robotics company developing an advanced robotics system that enables remote, real-time, pinpoint accurate firing of small arms and light weapons. Our advanced robotics system 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 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, 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 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), under which Duke Robotics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Duke Inc.”) 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 Inc.
On April 29, 2020, we, Duke Inc., and UAS Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary (“UAS Sub”), executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), 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 (the “Short-Form Merger”). 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.
On January 29, 2021, we, through Duke Airborne Systems Ltd. (“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 a UAS, armed with lightweight firearms, which we market under the commercial name “TIKAD.”
On August 15, 2022, Duke Israel introduced the Insulator Cleaning (“IC”) Drone, a drone technology for conducting routine maintenance of critical infrastructure, and has signed an agreement with Israel Electric Corporation (the “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.

Critical Accounting Policies
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 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. Regularly, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates, and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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.
Please see Note 2 of Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the summary of significant accounting policies. In addition, reference is made to Part I, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (filed on March 15, 2024) concerning our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
Revenues. Our revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024, totaled $72,000, compared to no revenue during the three months period ended September 30, 2023. The increase in revenues is attributable to the launch of our commercial IC Drone for purposes of power grid insulator cleaning activities with the IEC, which commenced in the third quarter of 2024.
Cost of revenues. Our cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2024, totaled $41,000, compared to no cost of revenue during the three months period ended September 30, 2023. The increase is attributable to the launch of our commercial IC Drone power grid insulator cleaning activity with the IEC, which commenced in the third quarter of 2024.
Research and Development. Our research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024, amounted to $20,000, compared to $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in research and development expenses was mainly due to our continuous research and development efforts in 2024 following the completion of the agreement with the IEC towards the end of 2023.
General and Administrative. Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024, which consisted primarily of professional services and legal expenses, amounted to $229,000, compared to $173,000, for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was mainly due to an increase in professional services partially offset by a decrease in share-based compensation expenses.
Financial Income, net. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we had financial income of $7,000 compared to financial income of $23,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The reason for the decrease in financial income for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was mainly due to decrease in income from interest on our bank deposits.
17
Net Loss. We incurred a net loss of $211,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $150,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, for the reasons set forth above.
Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
Revenues. Our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 totaled $72,000, compared to no revenue during the nine months period ended September 30, 2023. The increase in revenues is attributable to the launch of our commercial IC Drone for purposes of power grid insulator cleaning activities with the IEC, which commenced in the third quarter of 2024.
Cost of revenues. Our cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, totaled to $41,000, compared to no cost of revenue during the nine months period ended September 30, 2023. The increase is attributable to the launch of our commercial IC Drone power grid insulator cleaning activity with the IEC, which commenced in the third quarter of 2024.
Research and Development. Our research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, amounted to $137,000, compared to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in research and development expenses was mainly due to our continuous research and development efforts in 2024 following the completion of the agreement with the IEC towards the end of 2023.
General and Administrative. Our general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which consisted primarily of professional services and legal expenses, amounted to $636,000, compared to $581,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was mainly due to an increase in professional services and in rent and office expenses partially offset by a decrease in share-based compensation expenses.
Financial Income, net. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we had financial income of $44,000 compared to financial income of $69,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The reason for the decrease in financial income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was mainly due to decrease in revenues from interest on our bank deposits.
Net Loss. We incurred a net loss of $698,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to a net loss of $512,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, for the reasons set forth above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had $1,436,000 in cash on September 30, 2024, versus $2,358,000 in cash on September 30, 2023. The reason for the decrease in our cash balance was due to our development efforts and operating expenses described above. Cash used in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was $739,000 as compared to cash used in operations of $469,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The reason for the increase in cash used in operations is related to an increase in our net loss and a decrease in other liabilities.
Net cash used in investing activities was $76,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $18,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is mainly attributable to purchase of property and equipment related to our commercial IC Drone for purposes of power grid insulator cleaning activities with the IEC.

On May 11, 2021, we entered into securities purchase agreements with eight (8) non-U.S. investors, (the “Holders”), according to which we, in a private placement offering, agreed to issue and sell to the Holders an aggregate of: (i) 12,500,000 shares of our common stock at $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 had 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 entered into an agreement with the Holders pursuant to which we extended the term of the warrants, to expire on November 11, 2023. On November 1, 2023, we and the Holders executed a second extension agreement, such that the term of the warrants was extended so that they now expire on November 11, 2024. On June 20, 2024, we entered into a warrant amendment agreement with the Holders in which the its was 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 our common stock immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant.
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.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2024, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are a smaller reporting company and therefore are not required to provide the information for this item of Form 10-Q.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (“the Certifying Officers”), conducted evaluations of our disclosure controls and procedures. As defined under Sections 13a–15(e) and 15d–15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, the term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures include without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including the Certifying Officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Based on their evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that, as of September 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, at the above-described reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
