Outlook, risks and unusual items

  • Management states that available cash is insufficient to fund operations for the next 12 months and plans to raise additional capital through debt or equity, with no assurance of success.
  • The filing cites recurring losses and a working capital deficit as creating substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
  • The company reported no drone sales in 2018 or Q1 2019. Its Havis manufacturing and distribution agreements are on hold and may be terminated.
  • Disclosure controls were deemed ineffective, with material weaknesses involving limited accounting personnel and segregation of duties, lack of a full-time CEO/CFO, and no independent audit committee.
  • Convertible debentures totaling $450,015 have maturity dates extended to December 31, 2019. Management cites risks including competition, product development, regulation, industry conditions, and ability to raise capital.
  • No material pending legal proceedings were reported. The filing reports no unregistered equity sales during the quarter.

Important facts for investors to verify

  • Confirm the registrant’s identity and its relationship, if any, to DUKE Robotics Corp.
  • Verify the status and terms of the planned financing and the company’s near-term ability to meet obligations.
  • Confirm repayment, conversion, or further extension of the $450,015 convertible notes due December 31, 2019.
  • Check whether the Havis agreements remain in effect and whether the company has resumed product development or sales.
  • Assess remediation of the disclosed internal-control weaknesses and the continuing going-concern uncertainty.
