NOTE 17 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Legal Proceedings

 

We may be involved in legal proceedings, claims and assessments arising in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. There are no such loss contingencies that are included in the financial statements as of December 31, 2025.

 

On October 27, 2023, the Company reached a settlement agreement for legal proceedings related to Ardenna in which the Company is entitled to receive $600 thousand in reimbursements for legal fees related to the proceedings. As of December 31, 2025, the Company received $550 thousand from the settlement agreement, of which $0 and $550 thousand is recorded as a reduction in General and administrative expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

 

On June 6, 2024, Airobotics filed a Notice of Non-Payment with the Abu Dhabi Civil Courts in connection with a customer’s lack of payment relating to a purchase order and breach of a settlement agreement in relation to such purchase order. A performance order was filed on July 11, 2024, and rejected on July 17, 2024 by the Abu Dhabi Civil Courts. On July 30, 2024, Airobotics appealed the rejection of the performance order. On August 28, 2024, the Abu Dhabi Civil Court of Appeals accepted the appeal and appointed an expert to review the case. On October 9, 2024, the Abu Dhabi Civil Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Airobotics for the full amount of the initial purchase order less amounts paid to date by the customer (without taking into consideration the terms of the settlement agreement breached by the customer), which resulted in a total award of $2.14 million plus interest and expenses.

Subsequently, on June 17, 2025, Airobotics entered into a second settlement agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to waive the remaining balance owed by the customer in consideration for the return of the related inventory. The inventory was duly returned, and all obligations under the settlement agreement were fully performed. Accordingly, inventory with an aggregate value of approximately $1 million was recognized by Airobotics, with a corresponding reduction in Cost of goods sold on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2025.

 

War in Israel

 

On October 7, 2023, the State of Israel, where Airobotics’ main offices and facilities are located, suffered a surprise attack by hostile forces from the Gaza Strip, which led to the Security Cabinet of the State of Israel declaring a state of war in Israel. This military operation and related activities are on-going as of the date of this filing.

 

The Company is closely monitoring how the military operation and related activities could adversely affect its anticipated milestones and its Israel-based activities to support future operations, including the Company’s ability to import materials that are required to construct the Optimus System™ and to ship them outside of Israel. Although there have been disruptions in our business and operations, the Company has determined that there have not been any materially adverse effects on its business or operations. The Company does not believe the disruptions in its business and operations will have an enduring impact on its business and operations, but it continues to monitor the situation, as any future escalation or change could result in a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company’s Israeli office to support the Company’s activities. The Company does not have any specific contingency plans in the event of any such escalation or change.
