REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Dror Ortho-design Ltd.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dror Ortho-design Ltd. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “Financial Statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and is dependent upon external sources for financing its operations. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in regards to these matters is also described in Note 1and 14. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 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 financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 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 financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the board of directors and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgements. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2021.

DROR ORTHO-DESIGN LTD
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation
Organization
Dror Ortho Design Ltd (“Dror” or the “Company”), was incorporated in May 2004 in the State of Israel. The Company began operations in December 2006. From commencement of operations through 2017, the Company was working on the development of their first product and had limited revenues. From 2018 and onwards, the Company has begun development of a new product, and has not yet reached the sales stage for that product. The Company’s activities include the development of orthodontic devices.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Restatement of Statements of Operations
After the initial issuance of the financial statements, management determined that the basic and diluted net loss per share for both of the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 did not include cumulative undeclared dividends on the preferred shares. The Statements of Operations has been revised to reflect the preferred shares rights. The prior calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share as for years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, were 13.56 and 3.87, respectively. In the management opinion this adjustment has no material effect on shareholders.
Functional Currency
The Company accounts for foreign currency transactions pursuant to ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”. The functional currency of the Company is the United States Dollars (“US$”) as the U.S. dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. The accompanying financial statements have been expressed in US$. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statements of operations. The exchange rate of the US Dollar to the Israeli Shekel was 3.519 and 3.110 as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Going Concern and Management’s Plans
The financial statements are presented on a going concern basis. The Company has not yet generated any material revenues, has suffered recurring losses from operations and is dependent upon external sources for financing its operations. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had net working capital of $593,494, stockholders’ equity of $596,076 and accumulated deficit of $10,162,822. There is no assurance that profitable operations, if achieved, could be sustained on a continuing basis. Further, the Company’s future operations are dependent on the success of the Company’s efforts to raise additional capital, its research and commercialization efforts, regulatory approvals, and ultimately the market acceptance of the Company’s products. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising these funds. These financial statements do not include adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. See Note 14 in regard to Management’s plans to these matters, including about the funding of USD 5-6 million by investors via a reverse merger transaction.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. As of both December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no cash equivalents.
DROR ORTHO-DESIGN LTD
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company’s cash is held with financial institutions in the United States and Israel. Account balances held in the Unites States may, at times, exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limit. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had $643,658 and $1,622,730, respectively, in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. In Israel, commercial banks do not have government-sponsored deposit insurance. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had $144,399 and $683,507, respectively, in Israeli financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts with these financial institutions.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight–line method on the various asset classes, which currently consists of office equipment over their estimated useful lives of seven years when placed in service. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition.
Research and Development
The Company expenses all research and development costs as they are incurred. Research and development includes expenditures in connection with in-house research and development salaries and staff costs, consulting fees, as well as proprietary products and technology.
Share–based compensation
The Company applies ASC 718-10, “Share- Based Payment,” which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expenses for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options under the Company’s stock plans and equity awards issued to non-employees based on estimated fair values.
ASC 718-10 requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based option awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The fair value of the award is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods in the Company’s statement of operations.
The fair value of an option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black–Scholes option valuation model. The Black–Scholes option valuation model requires the development of assumptions that are inputs into the model. These assumptions are the expected stock volatility, the risk–free interest rate, the expected life of the option, the dividend yield on the underlying stock and the expected forfeiture rate. Since the Company is a private entity with no historical data regarding its volatility of its common stock, the expected volatility used is based on volatility of similar publicly listed companies in comparable industries. Risk–free interest rates are calculated based on continuously compounded risk–free rates for the appropriate term.
Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of equity–based payment awards require the input of the subjective assumptions described above. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of equity–based payment awards represent management’s best estimates, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset-and-liability method in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on the deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rate is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded if it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods.
DROR ORTHO-DESIGN LTD
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company follows the guidance in ASC Topic 740-10 in assessing uncertain tax positions. The standard applies to all tax positions and clarifies the recognition of tax benefits in the financial statements by providing for a two-step approach of recognition and measurement. The first step involves assessing whether the tax position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination based upon its technical merits. The second step involves measurement of the amount to be recognized. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate finalization with the taxing authority. The Company recognizes the impact of an uncertain income tax position in the financial statements if it believes that the position is more likely than not to be sustained by the relevant taxing authority. The Company will recognize interest and penalties related to tax positions in income tax expense. As of both December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no unrecognized uncertain income tax positions.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates or assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could vary from those estimates. Management utilizes various other estimates, including but not limited to determining the ability to continue as a going concern estimated lives of long-lived assets, the valuation of stock compensation, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and other contingencies. The results of any changes in accounting estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which the changes become evident. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Ordinary Share
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing the loss for the period applicable to ordinary shareholders, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon exercise of common stock equivalents such as stock options, warrants and convertible debt instruments. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. As a result, the basic and diluted per share amounts for all periods presented are identical.
For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred net losses which cannot be diluted; therefore, basic and diluted loss per common share is the same. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, shares issuable which could potentially dilute future earnings were as follows:
| | December 31, | |
| | 2022 | | | 2021 | |
| | | | | | |
Preferred Shares | | | 200,933 | | | | 200,933 | |
Ordinary Warrants | | | 5,700 | | | | 5,700 | |
Preferred Warrants | | | 133,206 | | | | 133,206 | |
Stock Options | | | 44,365 | | | | 47,499 | |
Shares excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share | | | 384,204 | | | | 387,338 | |
DROR ORTHO-DESIGN LTD
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Fair value of financial instruments
Cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at, or approximate, fair value because of their short-term nature.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Guidance issued by the FASB during the current year is not expected to have a material effect on the company’s financial statements. A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under consideration by standard setting organizations and regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of such proposed standards, management has not yet determined the effect if any that the implementation of such proposed standards would have on the company’s financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 6 – Accrued severance:
Under Israeli law, companies are required to make severance payments to terminated Israeli employees. The severance reserve is calculated based on the employee’s last salary and period of employment. A portion of the severance pay and pension obligation is covered by payment of monthly premiums to insurance companies/ policies under approved plans and to pension funds. The deposits presented in the balance sheet include profits accumulated to the balance sheet date. The amounts funded as above are not reflected in the balance sheet since they are not under the control and management of the Company.
A portion of employee severance payments are subject to the terms of section 14 of the Severance Pay Law, 1963, according to which the Company’s current deposits in pension funds and/or in policies in insurance companies exempt it from any additional undertaking towards employees, for which the aforementioned amounts were deposited.
Note 7 – Founders claim accrual:
The Company has recorded a provision in respect of a claim made against the Company by its founders. The claim related to amounts claimed as a repayment of loan balances and other amounts including salary and benefit related balances. In January 2023, the Company signed an agreement with the founders, settling all-outstanding claims at $240,000 which included amounts representing the repayment of a loan, reimbursement of expenses and an amount for pain and suffering. In addition, the agreement stipulated the transfer back of all shares (90,000 ordinary shares with par value of NIS 0.01), held by the founders to the Company. The settlement was paid in the first quarter of 2023.
Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies:
The Company partially financed their research and development expenditures under grant programs sponsored by the Israel Innovation Authority (“IIA”) of the Ministry of Economy and Industry (formerly the Office of Chief Scientist) for the support of research and development activities conducted in Israel. At the time the grants were received from the IIA, successful development of the related projects was not assured. In exchange for participation in the programs by the IIA, the Company agreed to pay 3% of total sales of products developed within the framework of these programs. The royalties will be paid up to a maximum amount equaling 100% of the grants provided by the IIA, linked to the dollar, bearing annual interest at a rate based on LIBOR. When the LIBOR is no longer used, this rate is expected to be adjusted to an equivalate one not yet determined by the IIA. The obligation to pay these royalties is contingent on actual sales of the products, and in the absence of such sales payment of royalties is not required. In some cases, the Government of Israel’s participation (through the IIA) is subject to export sales or other conditions. The maximum amount of royalties is increased in the event of production outside of Israel. The current contingent royalty obligation as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 is approximately $1.08 and $1.03 million, respectively.

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Deferred tax assets consist primarily of the tax effect of NOL carry-forwards. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets because of the uncertainty regarding its realizability.
