Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1 – GENERAL
| A. | UAS Drone Corp. (“the Company” or “USDR”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 4, 2015. |
On March 9, 2020, the Company closed on the Share Exchange Agreement (as defined hereunder), pursuant to which, Duke Robotics, Inc. (“Duke Inc.”) a corporation incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware, became a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company. Duke Inc. has a wholly-owned subsidiary, Duke Airborne Systems Ltd. (“Duke Israel,” and collectively with Duke Inc., “Duke”), which was formed under the laws of the State of Israel in March 2014 and became the sole subsidiary of Duke after its incorporation.
On April 29, 2020, the Company, Duke Inc., and UAS Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“UAS Sub”), executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which UAS Sub merged with and into Duke Inc., with Duke Inc. surviving as our wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Short-Form Merger”). Upon closing of the Short-Form Merger, each outstanding share of UAS Sub’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, was converted into and became one share of common stock of Duke Inc., with Duke Inc. surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Following the above transactions, Duke Israel 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 focused on the development of an advanced robotics stabilization system that enables remote, real-time, pinpoint accurate firing of small arms and light weapons as well as other civilian applications with an emphasis on the field of infrastructure maintenance. The Company’s advanced robotics system is able to achieve pinpoint accuracy regardless of the movement of the weapons platform or the target.
Effective October 22, 2020, Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets Group, Inc.’s OTCQB® tier Venture Market, under the symbol “USDR”.
| 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 response to these attacked, the Israeli army has carried out a number of targeted strikes on sites belonging to Hezbollah in southern 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, such as Iran, will join the hostilities. Such hostilities may include terror and missile attacks. |
Certain of our consultants in Israel may be called up for reserve duty, in addition to 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 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.
Since this is an event that is not under the control of the Company, and matters such as the fighting continuing or stopping may affect the Company’s assessments, as at the reporting date the Company is unable to assess the extent of the effect of the war on its business activities and on the business activities of its subsidiaries, and on their medium and long term results. The Company is continuing to regularly follow developments on the matter and is examining the effects on its operations and the value of its assets.
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
| A. | Liquidity |
Since inception, the Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations. The Company has financed its operations mainly through fundraising from various investors.
Based on the projected cash flows and cash balances as of the date of these financial statements, management is of the opinion that its existing cash will be sufficient to meet its obligations for a period which is longer than 12 months from the date of the approval of these consolidated financial statements.
| B. | Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements |
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, certain revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As applicable to these financial statements, the most significant estimates and assumptions relate to share based compensation.
| C. | Functional currency |
A majority of the Group’s revenues is generated in U.S. dollars. In addition, most of the Group’s costs are denominated and determined in dollars. Management believes that the dollar is the currency in the primary economic environment in which the Group operates. Thus, the functional and reporting currency of the Group is the U.S. dollar. Transactions and monetary balances in other currencies are translated into the functional currency using the current exchange rate.
Accordingly, monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the dollar are remeasured into dollars in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”. All transaction gains and losses of the remeasured monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the statements of operations as financial income or expenses, as appropriate.
| D. | Principles of consolidation |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries Duke Inc., and Duke Israel. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
| E. | Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments which include short term bank deposits (up to three months from date of deposit), that are not restricted as to withdrawals or use that are readily convertible to cash with maturities of three months or less as of the date acquired.
| F. | Property, 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 Operations and Comprehensive Loss. |
| 2. | Rates of depreciation: |
| % | |
|---|---|
| Furniture and office equipment | 7-15 |
| Computers | 33 |
| Office improvements | 5 |
| G. | Impairment of long-lived assets |
The Group’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. No impairment expenses were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2023 or 2022.
| H. | Income taxes |
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. The Group accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. Accordingly, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial accounting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities under the applicable tax law. Deferred tax balances are computed using the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when these differences reverse. Valuation allowances in respect of deferred tax assets are provided for, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts more likely than not to be realized.
The Group accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC Topic 740-10, which prescribes detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. According to ASC Topic 740-10, tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. The Company’s accounting policy is to classify interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions under income taxes, however the Company did not recognize such items in its fiscal 2023 and 2022 financial statements and did not recognize any liability with respect to an unrecognized tax position in its balance sheets.
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
| 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. (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 2023 and 2022, no potential shares are considered.
| L. | Stock-based compensation |
The Company measures and recognizes the compensation expense for all equity-based payments to non employees directors and officers based on their estimated fair values in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. Share-based payments including grants of stock options are recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss as an operating expense based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant. The fair value of stock options granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company has expensed compensation costs, net of estimated forfeitures, 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, notes payables, and other accrued liabilities approximate cost because of their short maturities. The Company measures and reports fair value in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure” (“ASC 820”) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value investments.
Fair value, as defined in ASC 820, is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of an asset should reflect its highest and best use by market participants, principal (or most advantageous) markets, and an in-use or an in-exchange valuation premise. The fair value of a liability should reflect the risk of non-performance, which includes, among other things, the Company’s credit risk.
Valuation techniques are generally classified into three categories: the market approach; the income approach; and the cost approach. The selection and application of one or more of the techniques may require significant judgment and are primarily dependent upon the characteristics of the asset or liability, and the quality and availability of inputs. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 also provides fair value hierarchy for inputs and resulting measurement as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
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.

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. No TIKAD units were sold during 2023 and 2022 by the Company or Elbit.
NOTE 11 – AGREEMENTS (continued)
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the parties also agreed to cooperate in continuing a project (the “Project”) that has already started with a customer in the Asia Pacific region. Per the agreement, Duke Israel shall be entitled to portion of the revenues generated in the Evaluation Phase of the Project. In addition, Elbit has agreed to invest, at its discretion and pursuant to certain milestones, in the further development and setting up of serial production lines of TIKAD, and may elect to increase such investment subject to the satisfaction of certain criteria, including Elbit’s right to terminate the Agreement if, for example, the Project is cancelled by the customer. Such investment amounts will be made into Elbit’s owned assets and production lines of TIKAD. Elbit will recoup 50% of its investment amount, up to $6,000, by offsetting 50% of royalty payments that may be due to Duke Israel. No revenues were generated from the Evaluation Phase of the Project during 2023 and 2022.
