PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED FEBRUARY 11, 2026

T3 Defense Inc.

16,787,988 Shares of Common Stock

This prospectus relates to the resale from time to time by the selling stockholders named in this prospectus, including their transferees, pledgees or donees or their respective successors (collectively, the “Selling Stockholders”), of up to 16,787,988 shares (the “Shares”) of the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of T3 Defense Inc. (formerly known as Nukkleus Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “T3 Defense”), which consists of (i) 4,770,340 Shares (the “Common Shares”) and (ii) up to 12,017,648 Shares (the “Warrant Shares”) issuable upon the exercise of a warrant (the “Warrant”). The Common Shares and the Warrant were received by Star 26 Capital, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Star 26”) as consideration in connection with the Company’s acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Star 26 pursuant to the terms of that certain Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement and Call Option, dated September 15, 2025 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Star 26, the shareholders of Star 26, and Menachem Shalom, as representative of the shareholders of Star 26. The Acquisition was completed on January 12, 2026 (the “Closing Date”). The Common Shares and the Warrant were subsequently assigned by Star 26 to the Selling Stockholders pro ratably based on their equity ownership in Star 26. The Warrant is exercisable at any time and from time to time until January 12, 2032 at an exercise price of $1.50 per share, subject to adjustment, and is subject to a blocker provision (the “Blocker”), which restricts the exercise of a Warrant if, as a result of such exercise, the holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to the issuance of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). For a description of the Acquisition, please see “Prospectus Summary – Company Overview.”

The Shares being registered for resale represent a considerable percentage of our public float, and the sales of such Shares, or the perception that these sales could occur, could cause the market price of the Common Stock to decline significantly. In addition, we are not selling any shares of Common Stock under this prospectus and will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of Shares by the Selling Stockholders. We are paying the cost of registering the Shares as well as various related expenses. The Selling Stockholders are responsible for all selling commissions, transfer taxes and other costs related to the offer and sale of their Shares. We will, however, receive the net proceeds of the exercise of the Warrant for cash.

The Selling Stockholders may sell the Shares at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may sell the Shares to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Stockholders, the purchasers of the Shares, or both.

Our Common Stock is presently listed on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “DFNS.” The closing price for our Common Stock on February 10, 2026, as reported by Nasdaq, was $2.21 per share.

We are an “emerging growth company” as the term is used in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and, as such, have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for this prospectus and future filings.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page 10 of this prospectus before making a decision to purchase our securities.

NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THESE SECURITIES OR PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

Company Overview

Currently, the Company, through its US-based subsidiary, is engaged in the distribution of drones’ payloads in the defense and homeland security markets within the US. In addition, through its Israeli subsidiary, we are engaged in providing services to support civil and defense aviation needs, including maintenance and repair (MRO) services, aircraft modernization, resale, and leasing, which includes the deployment of the de-icing technology for commercial aircrafts.

Previously we were a financial technology company that was focused on providing software, technology solutions, customer sales and marketing, and risk management technology hardware and software solutions packages for the worldwide retail foreign exchange (“FX”) trading industry and payment services from one fiat currency to another or to digital assets.

On January 12, 2026, we closed our acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Star 26 pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, by and among the Company, Star 26, the shareholders of Star 26, and Menachem Shalom, as representative of the shareholders of Star 26. As a result of the Acquisition, Star 26 became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The transaction was approved by the stockholders of the Company on December 16, 2025 and confirmed by Nasdaq on January 9, 2026. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the aggregate consideration paid by the Company consisted of: (i) $16,000,000, which was paid to Star 26 by the issuance by the Company of a 12-month note (the “Investment Note”); (ii) $500,000 in cash, representing $5,000,000 less $4,500,000 previously borrowed by Star 26 from the Company; (iii) 4,770,340 Common Shares; (iv) the Warrant to purchase 12,017,648 Warrant Shares at an exercise price of $1.50 per share, exercisable for a period of five years from the Closing Date; (v) a promissory note in the principal amount of $3,000,000 (the “Six-Month Note”), which accrues interest at the rate of 8% per annum and matures on July 12, 2026; and (vi) a promissory note in the principal amount of $3,000,000 (the “Three-Month Note”), which matures on April 12, 2026. The Common Shares, the Warrant, the Six-Month Note and the Three-Month Note were subsequently assigned by Star 26 to the Selling Stockholders, pro ratably based on their equity ownership in Star 26. In connection with the Acquisition, the Company cancelled certain promissory notes previously issued by Star 26 to the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $4,500,000. The cancellation of said indebtedness was applied as a credit against the cash consideration otherwise payable to Star 26 at the closing of the Acquisition. The cash portion of the purchase price payable at closing was funded from the Company’s available cash on hand.

Star currently holds (1) 100% of B. Rimon Agencies Ltd. (“Rimon”), an Israeli corporation engaged as distributor of military-grade generators, masts and lighting systems and that is, among other clients, a supplier of generators for “Iron Dome” launchers, (2) 67% of Water.IO Ltd., an Israeli corporation engaged in smart hydration technology, and (3) a convertible loan issued by I.T.S. Industrial Techno-logic Solutions Ltd., an Israeli corporation which designs, develops and manufactures fully integrated electro-mechanical machines, assembly lines and custom motion systems.

If, for a period of 12 months after the closing, the Common Stock is delisted from Nasdaq, Star 26 shall have the right, at its own discretion, to require the Company to exchange the Investment Note for all the shares of Star 26 then held by the Company, provided, however, Star 26 shall retain any cash payments made by the Company to Star 26 and the Company shall retain an equity interest in Star 26 equivalent to all cash payments.

Background

The Company was formed on May 24, 2019. The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring, engaging in a share exchange, share reconstruction and amalgamation with, purchasing all or substantially all of the assets of, entering into contractual arrangements with, or engaging in any other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. on June 23, 2023, Brilliant Acquisition Corporation, a British Virgin Islands company (prior to the Merger “Brilliant”), entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended by the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger on November 1, 2023, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Brilliant BRIL Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Brilliant (“Merger Sub”), and Nukkleus Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Old Nukk”). Old Nukk (f/k/a Compliance & Risk Management Solutions Inc.) was formed on July 29, 2013 in the State of Delaware as a for-profit Company and established a fiscal year end of September 30. The Merger Agreement provided that, among other things, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Old Nukk (the “Merger”), with Old Nukk surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brilliant.

The Merger closed on December 22, 2023. In connection with the Merger, Brilliant changed its name to “Nukkleus Inc.”

Effective February 9, 2026, the Company changed its name to “T3 Defense Inc.”

Historically, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, provided software and technology solutions for the worldwide retail foreign exchange trading industry. The Company’s primary customer was Triton Capital Markets Ltd. (“TCM”) (formerly known as FXDD Malta Limited). Emil Assentato, the former CEO and a former director of the Company, is also the majority member of Max Q Investments LLC (“Max Q”), which is managed by Derivative Marketing Associates Inc. (“DMA”). Mr. Assentato is the sole owner and manager of DMA. Max Q owns 79% of Currency Mountain Malta LLC, which in turn is the sole shareholder of TCM. In order to define the services rendered to TCM, Nukkleus Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a General Services Agreement (“GSA”) with TCM in May 2016. The GSA provided that TCM would pay Nukkleus Limited a minimum of $1,600,000 per month. On September 30, 2024, the Company, TCM and FXDirectDealer LLC (“FXDD”) entered into a Release Agreement pursuant to which the parties confirmed that the GSA between the Company and TCM and the General Services Agreement dated May 24, 2016, as amended (“FXDD GSA”), between the Company and FDDD were terminated effective January 1, 2024. The parties further confirmed that there were no obligations or liabilities outstanding or owed between the parties as of September 30, 2024 and each party released and forever discharged the other party from any and all claims, demands, damages, actions, causes of action, or suits of any kind or nature whatsoever, both known and unknown, which have arisen or may arise from the GSA or the FXDD GSA.

The Company has historically operated its blockchain payment solutions through Digital RFQ Limited (“DRFQ”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Match Financial Ltd (“Match”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. On November 8, 2024, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release with Jamal Khurshid and Match providing that Match agreed to sell DRFQ to Mr. Khurshid or his nominee subject to the Company obtaining shareholder approval (the “Settlement Agreement”). As required by the Settlement Agreement, the Company, Match and Mr. Khurshid entered into a Share Purchase Agreement dated December 27, 2024 providing that the Company, subject to it obtaining shareholder approval, will sell DRFQ to Mr. Khurshid in consideration of £1,000. The Company believes the sale of DRFQ was in the best interest of the Company due to continuing net loss generated by DRFQ and the Company’s desire to focus on the defense sector.

As of August 2025, the Company determined that it no longer had a controlling financial interest in Digital RFQ due to loss of access to financial records. Accordingly, the Company deconsolidated DRFQ during the third quarter of fiscal year 2025. The Company was notified that on July 29, 2025, Match was placed into administration in the United Kingdom pursuant to the Insolvency Act 1986 resulting in the appointment of two administrators (the “Administrators”). The Administrators completed a pre-packaged sale of Match’s entire shareholding in DRFQ to Match Financial Holdings Limited, a newly formed entity owned by Mr. Khurshid, for nominal consideration of £102,000.

Following the appointment in September 2024 of Menachem Shalom, our current chief executive officer and a director, we have transformed from a financial technology services provider into a strategic acquirer and operator of aerospace and defense (A&D) businesses. We are building a portfolio of mission-critical suppliers and advanced technology companies and strategic infrastructure opportunities across the defense, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing sectors across the United States, Israel, and Europe.

The Company is positioned as a strategic platform company focused on acquiring, integrating, and scaling high-impact businesses in the aerospace and defense industries. Our strategy targets Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers that form the industrial backbone of national security infrastructure, with particular emphasis on companies offering dual-use technologies, advanced AI applications, and critical manufacturing capabilities.

See “Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants.”

Tiltan Acquisition

On December 30, 2025, the Company consummated its acquisition (the “Tiltan Acquisition”) of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Tiltan Software Engineering Ltd.

The Tiltan Note does not bear interest unless an Event of Default (as defined in the Tiltan Note) occurs, in which case the outstanding principal amount shall bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum from the date of default until payment. Events of Default include failure to timely make a monthly installment payment within ten (10) business days after written notice is received from the Tiltan Seller, bankruptcy of the Company or Nukk Picolo, material breach of the Tiltan Purchase Agreement, and cessation of business operations for a continuous period of twenty (20) days.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Smaller Reporting Company

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or JOBS Act, and we may remain an emerging growth company for up to five years following the completion of this offering. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we are permitted and intend to rely on certain exemptions from various public company reporting requirements, including not being required to have our internal control over financial reporting audited by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and any golden parachute payments not previously approved. In particular, in this prospectus, we have provided only two years of audited financial statements and have not included all of the executive compensation-related information that would be required if we were not an emerging growth company. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the information you receive from other public companies in which you hold stock.

In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This provision allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of some accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period and, therefore, we are not subject to the same requirements to adopt new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies; however, we may adopt certain new or revised accounting standards early. We would cease to be an emerging growth company upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have $1.235 billion or more in annual revenue; (ii) the date on which we first qualify as a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC; (iii) the date on which we have, in any three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; and (iv) the last day of the fiscal year ending after the fifth anniversary of this offering.

We are also a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Exchange Act. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company even after we are no longer an emerging growth company. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies and will be able to take advantage of these scaled disclosures for so long as the market value of our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or our annual revenue is less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year, and the market value of our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter.

Risk Factors Summary

Investing in our common stock involves significant risks. You should carefully consider the risks described in the section titled “Risk Factors” immediately following this prospectus summary and elsewhere in this prospectus before making a decision to invest in our common stock. If we are unable to successfully address these risks and challenges, our business, financial condition, results of operations, or prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock would likely decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Below is a summary of some of the risks we face.

Risks Related to Our Business

●

Our unprecedented transformation from financial technology to aerospace and defense lacks any operational track record and may completely fail.

●

We are attempting to integrate multiple defense companies simultaneously without any aerospace and defense experience.

●

There is no assurance that we will achieve and maintain profitability or that our revenue and business models will be successful.

●

Changes in U.S. and foreign tax laws, as well as the application of such laws, could adversely impact our financial position and operating results.

●

If our estimates or judgment relating to our critical accounting policies prove to be incorrect, our operating results could be adversely affected.

●

The nature of our business requires the application of complex financial accounting rules, and there is limited guidance from accounting standard setting bodies. If financial accounting standards undergo significant changes, our operating results could be adversely affected.

●

Business metrics and other estimates are subject to inherent challenges in measurement, and our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected by real or perceived inaccuracies in those metrics.

We might require additional capital to support business growth, and this capital might not be available or may require stockholder approval to obtain.

Risks Related to Our Employees and Other Service Providers

●

In the event of employee or service provider misconduct or error, our business may be adversely impacted.

●

The loss of one or more of our key personnel, or our failure to attract and retain other highly qualified personnel in the future, could adversely impact our business, operating results, and financial condition.

●

Our culture emphasizes innovation, and if we cannot maintain this culture as we grow, our business and operating results could be adversely impacted.

Additional Risk Factors

●

Cybersecurity requirements exceed our current capabilities and cyberattacks and security breaches of our systems, or those impacting our customers or third parties, could adversely impact our brand and reputation and our business, operating results and financial condition.

●

Environmental liabilities could exceed our resources.

●

Related party transactions create inherent conflicts.

●

Acquisitions, joint ventures or other strategic transactions create certain risks and may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. This prospectus contains the risks applicable to an investment in our securities. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, you should carefully consider the specific factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in this prospectus and/or incorporated by reference into this prospectus from our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Transition Report on Form 10-KT and in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended subsequent to our filing of such Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as any amendments thereto reflected in subsequent filings with the SEC. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our operations. The occurrence of any of these known or unknown risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment in the offered securities.

Risks Related to Our Business

Our unprecedented transformation from financial technology to aerospace and defense lacks any operational track record and may completely fail.

We are attempting a complete business model transformation with no prior experience in the defense industry. This transformation required or requires us to: divest our existing operations; acquire and integrate multiple defense companies; establish new regulatory compliance systems for ITAR, DFARS, and other regulations; obtain facility security clearances that typically take 12-18 months; recruit cleared personnel in a competitive market; and develop prime contractor relationships from scratch, all within a short timeframe.

We have never managed a defense program, never held a government contract, never obtained security clearances, and have no established relationships with prime defense contractors. The defense industry operates under fundamentally different business models, regulations, and customer requirements than financial services. There is no assurance that we will successfully execute this transformation or generate any returns from the substantial capital being deployed. Our complete lack of defense industry track record means investors are funding an entirely unproven strategy that may result in total loss of invested capital.

We are attempting to integrate multiple defense companies simultaneously without any aerospace and defense experience.

We have recently acquired Star 26, Tiltan and Nimbus, and are constantly pursuing other targets, all within a compressed timeframe and without any defense industry acquisition or integration experience. Each acquisition involves different countries (U.S., Israel, Europe), currencies, regulatory regimes, and business models. Managing simultaneous integrations of this magnitude typically requires extensive expertise, dedicated integration teams, and proven playbooks—none of which we possess.

Historical data shows that 70-90% of acquisitions fail to achieve projected synergies, and our complete lack of industry experience significantly increases this failure risk. We may discover post-closing that acquired technologies are obsolete, customer relationships are not transferable, key employees depart, or compliance violations trigger penalties. The complexity of simultaneous multi-jurisdictional defense acquisitions without relevant experience creates extreme execution risk.

Menachem Shalom, our Chief Executive Officer, also serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Star 26, Motomova Inc., and Hold Me Ltd. These roles require Mr. Shalom to devote significant time and resources to the management and strategic direction of these other companies, which may reduce the time and attention he can dedicate to the Company. This divided focus could impair our ability to execute our business strategy, particularly as we transition to a defense-focused company following the acquisition of Star 26 and the sale of our Digital RFQ (DRFQ) business. The competing demands on Mr. Shalom’s time may delay critical decision-making, hinder our ability to respond to market opportunities, or weaken our operational oversight, all of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Furthermore, the businesses of Star 26, Motomova Inc., and Hold Me Ltd. may operate in sectors or pursue opportunities that compete with our current or future operations. While Star 26 is now our wholly-owned subsidiary, Motomova Inc. and Hold Me Ltd. are separate entities with potentially divergent interests. Mr. Shalom’s involvement in these companies could lead to conflicts of interest, including the allocation of business opportunities, resources, or strategic priorities that may favor these other entities over the Company. Any such competition or conflicts could harm our competitive position, limit our growth prospects, and negatively impact the value of our securities.

In our recent acquisitions, including our acquisitions of Star 26, Tiltan and Nimbus, our business has become increasingly complex by expanding the services we offer to include financial services and payment processing services. To effectively manage and capitalize on our growth, we must continue to expand our information technology and financial, operating, and administrative systems and controls, and continue to manage headcount, capital, and processes efficiently. Our continued growth could strain our existing resources, and we could experience ongoing operating difficulties in managing our business as it expands across numerous jurisdictions, including difficulties in hiring, training, and managing an employee base. Failure to scale and preserve our company culture with growth could harm our future success, including our ability to retain and recruit personnel and to effectively focus on and pursue our corporate objectives. If we do not adapt to meet these evolving challenges, or if our management team does not effectively scale with our growth, we may experience erosion to our brand, the quality of our products and services may suffer, and our company culture may be harmed. Moreover, the failure of our systems and processes could undermine our ability to provide accurate, timely, and reliable reports on our financial and operating results, including the financial statements provided herein, and could impact the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. In addition, our systems and processes may not prevent or detect all errors, omissions, or fraud, though we have experienced no such material errors, omissions or fraud in the past. For example, our employees may fail to identify transaction errors or fraudulent information provided by our customers. Any of the foregoing operational failures could lead to noncompliance with laws, loss of operating licenses or other authorizations, or loss of bank relationships that could substantially impair or even suspend company operations.

We intend to continue to develop our technology, in particular our blockchain-enabled payment processing offering. Successful implementation of this strategy may require significant expenditures before any substantial associated revenue is generated and we cannot guarantee that these increased investments will result in corresponding and offsetting revenue growth. Our growth may not be sustainable and depends on our ability to retain existing customers, attract new customers, expand product offerings, and increase processed volumes and revenue from both new and existing customers.

The future growth of our business depends on its ability to retain existing customers, attract new customers as well as getting existing customers and new customers to increase the volumes processed through our payments platform and therefore grow revenue. Our customers are not subject to any minimum volume commitments and they have no obligation to continue to use our services, and we cannot be sure that customers will continue to use our services or that we will be able to continue to attract new volumes at the same rate as we have in the past.

A customer’s use of our services may decrease for a variety of reasons, including the customer’s level of satisfaction with our products and services, the expansion of business to offer new products and services, the effectiveness of our support services, the pricing of our products and services, the pricing, range and quality of competing products or services, the effects of global economic conditions, regulatory or financial institution limitations, trust, perception and interest in foreign exchange and payment processing services and in our products and services, or reductions in the customer’s payment and transfer activity. Furthermore, the complexity and costs associated with switching to a competitor may not be significant enough to prevent a customer from switching service providers, especially for larger customers who commonly engage more than one payment service provider at any one time.

Any failure by us to retain existing customers, attract new customers, and increase revenue from both new and existing customers could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. These efforts may require substantial financial expenditures, commitments of resources, developments of our processes, and other investments and innovations.

We have divested our financial technology business and are now building a defense business, creating operational complexity and execution risk.

We completed the sale of our Digital RFQ business to its former management and are now focused on acquiring and integrating defense companies. This dual-track strategy has required and may continue to require management attention and resources across divergent activities, including: negotiating divestiture terms while managing acquisition integrations; maintaining legacy compliance obligations while implementing new defense regulations; supporting existing financial services customers during transition while pursuing defense customers; and managing employee uncertainty across both divesting and acquiring operations. The complexity of completing divestitures and acquisitions within a short timeframe significantly increases execution risk and the potential for value destruction in both transactions.

We are subject to heightened operational and cybersecurity risks.

We are subject to heightened operational and cybersecurity risks. Many of our employees work from their homes or other non-company dwellings. Technologies in our employees’ and service providers’ homes and shared office spaces may not be as robust and could cause the networks, information systems, applications, and other tools available to employees and service providers to be more limited or less reliable. Further, the security systems in place at our employees’ and service providers’ homes and shared office spaces may be less secure than those used in corporate offices, and while we have implemented technical and administrative safeguards to help protect our systems when our employees and service providers work from home, we may be subject to increased cybersecurity risk which could expose us to risks of data or financial loss, and could disrupt our business operations. There is no guarantee that the data security and privacy safeguards we have put in place will be completely effective or that we will not encounter risks associated with employees and service providers accessing company data and systems remotely.

The defense drone payload market is characterized by rapid technological advancement and intense competition from established defense contractors such as Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Northrop Grumman, as well as specialized drone companies like AeroVironment and Kratos Defense. These competitors possess significantly greater financial resources, established relationships with government procurement officials, and proven track records in defense contracting. BladeRanger’s patent-pending autonomous drone navigation technology, while promising, faces competition from well-funded competitors who may develop superior technologies or secure key government contracts that could limit our market access. Additionally, the defense technology sector is subject to rapid obsolescence, and any failure by BladeRanger to continue innovating or maintain technological superiority could render our distribution rights less valuable or unmarketable.

Our recent pivot from fintech to the defense sector exposes us to new operational, regulatory, and market risks for which we have limited prior experience.

We have recently transitioned our business focus from financial technology services to the distribution of advanced defense technologies, primarily through exclusive distribution agreements with Israeli-based companies. This pivot represents a significant shift in our operations, requiring us to develop new expertise in the defense and homeland security markets, including sales, marketing, compliance, and supply chain management tailored to highly regulated industries. Our management team and employees have limited experience in the defense sector, which may result in challenges adapting to industry-specific practices, customer requirements, and competitive dynamics. Failure to effectively manage this transition could lead to operational inefficiencies, delays in fulfilling distribution obligations, or inability to capitalize on market opportunities, adversely affecting our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our business is heavily dependent on an exclusive distribution agreement with an Israeli suppliers, and any termination, non-renewal, or disruption in this relationship could severely impact our operations.

Our current business model relies almost entirely on an exclusive U.S. distribution agreement executed in August 2025 with BladeRanger Ltd. for drone payload systems. This agreement grants us rights limited to the U.S. defense and homeland security markets and imposes minimum purchase or revenue commitments (e.g., 5, 10, and 15 payloads in Years 1-3). Failure to meet these commitments could result in termination of the agreement, loss of exclusivity, or penalties, forcing us to seek alternative suppliers on less favorable terms or cease operations in these product lines. Any disputes with our suppliers, changes in their business strategies, or external factors affecting their ability to supply products (such as production delays or quality issues) could disrupt our inventory, delay deliveries to customers, and lead to lost revenue or reputational damage.

Our minimum purchase and revenue commitments under distribution agreements create financial risks, including potential cash flow strains and inventory overhang.

The BladeRanger agreement requires us to meet escalating minimum commitments, starting at 5 payloads in Year 1 and increasing thereafter. If market demand falls short—due to economic downturns, technological shifts, or competitive pressures—we may be forced to purchase excess inventory or incur shortfall penalties, straining our liquidity and working capital. Excess inventory could lead to obsolescence write-offs if products become outdated before sale. Our ability to finance these commitments depends on generating sufficient cash flows or accessing capital markets, and failure to do so could lead to defaults, termination of agreements, or dilution of shareholder equity through additional financing.

Intellectual property risks associated with distributed technologies could lead to infringement claims or loss of competitive advantages.

While we distribute products incorporating patent-pending technologies (e.g., BladeRanger’s autonomous drone navigation), we do not own the underlying intellectual property, relying instead on our suppliers’ protections. Third parties may challenge the validity of these patents or assert infringement claims against us or our customers, potentially resulting in costly litigation, injunctions, or indemnity obligations. If our suppliers fail to defend their IP adequately, or if we inadvertently violate others’ rights during distribution, we could face damages, product recalls, or restrictions on sales. Moreover, the defense industry’s emphasis on proprietary technologies heightens the risk of trade secret misappropriation or cybersecurity breaches, which could compromise sensitive information and damage our relationships with suppliers and customers.

Supply chain vulnerabilities, including reliance on foreign manufacturing, could increase costs and disrupt operations.

Our products are manufactured in Israel, exposing us to risks such as currency fluctuations, tariffs, trade barriers, or global supply chain disruptions (e.g., from pandemics, natural disasters, or raw material shortages). Delays in international shipping or customs clearance could prevent timely delivery to U.S. customers, leading to contract cancellations or penalties. As a distributor, we have limited control over our suppliers’ production processes, quality assurance, or cost structures. BladeRanger’s reported 237% revenue growth in 2024 may strain its capacity to scale production. Any increases in supplier costs passed on to us could erode our margins, and inability to pass these on to customers could reduce competitiveness.

Market acceptance of our distributed products is uncertain, and failure to achieve projected demand could impair our growth prospects.

The success of our business depends on the adoption of BladeRanger’s drone payloads in the U.S. defense market, which may be influenced by factors beyond our control, such as evolving threat landscapes, budget allocations for unmanned systems, or preferences for integrated solutions. If these technologies do not meet customer expectations for performance, reliability, or integration, or if alternative solutions gain traction, demand could be lower than anticipated. Our projections assume growth aligned with our suppliers’ innovations, but actual market penetration may vary, particularly given BladeRanger’s long history since 1968 contrasted with potential skepticism toward newer distributors like us. Low demand could hinder our ability to meet revenue commitments, resulting in financial losses and challenges in scaling operations.

We have entered into exclusive distribution agreements with minimum purchase and revenue commitments that we may be unable to meet, which could result in the loss of exclusivity or termination of these agreements, materially harming our business and financial condition.

Our exclusive distribution agreement with BladeRanger Ltd. requires us to achieve substantial minimum purchase targets. Specifically, we must purchase minimum quantities of drone payloads from BladeRanger (5 units in Year 1, 10 units in Year 2, and 15 units in Year 3). If we fail to meet these commitments, we may lose our exclusive distribution rights or face agreement termination, which would adversely impact our defense sector strategy.

We do not own the intellectual property for the defense technologies we distribute, making us entirely dependent on third-party suppliers for product development, quality, and availability.

The defense technologies we distribute remain the intellectual property of BladeRanger. We have no control over product development, manufacturing quality, delivery schedules, or pricing of the underlying technology. Any disruption in our relationships with these suppliers, their inability to deliver products, or changes in their business strategies could severely impact our ability to generate revenue from these agreements.

Any significant disruption in our technology could adversely impact our brand and reputation and our business, operating results, and financial condition.

During our transformation period, we are building new technology infrastructure to support defense operations and have divested our legacy financial technology systems. Our reputation and ability to grow our defense business depends on our ability to develop and maintain systems that meet defense industry standards for reliability, scalability, and performance, including compliance with DFARS cybersecurity requirements and maintaining systems capable of handling classified information processing once we obtain necessary clearances. The proper functioning of our future defense products and services will depend on secure networks, encrypted communications, and systems that meet government security standards.

Our systems, the systems of our third-party service providers and partners, and defense networks we will interact with, have experienced from time to time and may experience in the future service interruptions or degradation because of hardware and software defects or malfunctions, distributed denial-of-service and other cyberattacks, insider threats, break-ins, sabotage, human error, vandalism, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, fires, and other natural disasters, power losses, disruptions in telecommunications services, fraud, military or political conflicts, terrorist attacks, computer viruses or other malware, or other events. In addition, extraordinary site usage could cause our computer systems to operate at an unacceptably slow speed or even fail. Some of our systems, particularly those we have acquired from Star 26 and Tiltan, or the systems of our third-party service providers and partners are not fully redundant, and our or their disaster recovery planning may not be sufficient for all possible outcomes or events.

If any of our systems, or those of our third-party service providers, are disrupted for any reason, our defense products and services may fail, resulting in unanticipated disruptions, slower response times and delays in our services. For defense contracts, system failures could result in program delays, cost overruns, performance penalties, or contract terminations. This could lead to missed contract milestones, incomplete or inaccurate program reporting, loss of sensitive government information, increased demand on limited program management resources, government claims, and complaints with regulatory organizations, lawsuits, or enforcement actions. A prolonged interruption in the availability or reduction in the availability, speed, or functionality of our products and services could harm our business. Frequent or persistent interruptions in our services could cause current or potential defense customers or partners to believe that our systems are unreliable, leading them to select other contractors or to avoid or reduce the use of our products and services, and could permanently harm our reputation and brands in the defense community. Moreover, to the extent that any system failure or similar event results in damages to our customers or their programs, these customers or the government could seek significant compensation or contractual penalties from us for their losses, and those claims, even if unsuccessful, are likely to be time-consuming and costly for us to address. Problems with the reliability or security of our systems would harm our reputation, and damage to our reputation and the cost of remedying these problems could negatively affect our business, operating results, and financial condition. In addition, we are continually developing our information systems and technologies to meet defense industry requirements. Implementation of new systems and technologies is complex, expensive, time-consuming, and may not be successful. If we fail to timely and successfully implement new information systems and technologies, or improvements or upgrades to existing information systems and technologies, or if such systems and technologies do not operate as intended, it could have an adverse impact on our business, internal controls (including internal controls over financial reporting), operating results, and financial condition. Because we will be subject to defense regulation in multiple jurisdictions, frequent or persistent interruptions could also lead to regulatory scrutiny, significant fines and penalties, potential debarment, and mandatory and costly changes to our business practices, and ultimately could cause us to lose facility security clearances or government contracts that we need to operate, or prevent or delay us from obtaining additional clearances and contracts that may be required for our business.

As we build our defense business, we will depend on relationships with prime defense contractors, specialized subcontractors, and government-approved suppliers. We will depend on various third-party partners including prime contractors who control access to major defense programs, cleared facilities for classified work, and specialized defense supply chains.

To participate in defense programs, we must establish relationships with prime contractors and other defense companies for teaming agreements, joint ventures, and subcontracting opportunities. Major primes like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Raytheon control the majority of defense spending and often prefer working with established partners. Our ability to win defense contracts depends on our ability to establish these critical relationships despite our lack of track record.

Also, critical aspects of our defense technology will rely on third-party technologies, including specialized defense components, ITAR-controlled technologies, and government-furnished equipment. Our lack of established relationships in the defense industry and foreign ownership structure may be an impediment to our ability to establish partnerships with major defense contractors. Should potential partners refuse to work with us, we would be at risk of being unable to participate in major defense programs.

Third parties upon which we rely for defense programs may refuse to partner with us, may breach their agreements with us, refuse to enter into agreements on commercially reasonable terms, take actions that degrade the functionality of our services, impose additional costs or requirements on us, or give preferential treatment to established defense contractors, any of which could prevent us from competing effectively and materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Some third parties that provide services to the defense industry may have significant market power and be able to impose unfavorable terms on new entrants like us. In addition, there can be no assurance that third parties will be willing to work with us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we cannot establish necessary partnerships, we may be unable to compete for defense contracts, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Risks Related to the Defense Industry

We lack the facility security clearances and cleared personnel required for 90% of U.S. defense contracts.

Approximately 90% of U.S. defense contracts require facility security clearances that we completely lack. Obtaining clearances involves: 12-18 month investigation periods; extensive ownership documentation complicated by our foreign ties; sophisticated security system implementation; designation of cleared U.S. citizen executives; and ongoing compliance costs exceeding $500,000 annually. Our foreign ownership through Israeli subsidiaries may preclude certain clearance levels entirely or require restrictive FOCI mitigation agreements. Without clearances, we are excluded from classified programs, sole-source contracts, prime contractor opportunities, and the majority of defense spending.

Fixed-price defense contracts expose us to unlimited losses without cost estimation experience.

The majority of defense contracts are fixed-price, meaning we bear all risk of cost overruns. We have zero experience estimating defense program costs, which require sophisticated models accounting for technical complexity, regulatory compliance, supply chain volatility, labor escalation, and schedule delays. Industry data shows 65% of major defense programs experience cost overruns exceeding 25%. Our lack of historical data, experienced estimators, and program management expertise virtually guarantees significant losses. A single major fixed-price contract loss could exceed our entire equity base.

Export control violations could result in criminal prosecution and permanent debarment.

Operating in defense requires strict ITAR and EAR compliance, where violations carry criminal penalties, fines up to $1 million per violation, and permanent debarment. We lack export compliance programs, technology control plans, licensing expertise, deemed export procedures, and supply chain compliance systems. Our Israeli operations create immediate deemed export risks. Recent enforcement actions include: Raytheon paying $100 million, multiple executive criminal convictions, and permanent debarments. Our lack of compliance infrastructure creates extreme risk of violations that could destroy our business.

We face overwhelming competition from established prime contractors.

The aerospace and defense industry is dominated by companies like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Raytheon with 100+ year histories, billions in R&D budgets, thousands of cleared personnel, established customer relationships, and political influence. These contractors win 80% of defense dollars through evaluation criteria favoring past performance we don’t have. As a new entrant with zero track record, we face insurmountable disadvantages in competing for contracts. Small defense companies have failure rates exceeding 60% within five years.

We must comply with complex defense regulations without any infrastructure.

Defense operations require compliance with ITAR, DFARS, CMMC, FAR, CAS, and other regulations for which we have zero infrastructure or expertise. Implementation costs typically exceed $3-5 million in year one. Common violations include inadvertent technical discussions, missing flow-down clauses, and inadequate cybersecurity. Recent enforcement: Raytheon paid $950 million, Boeing suspended from contracts. Our lack of compliance infrastructure virtually guarantees violations resulting in suspension or debarment.

The distribution of drone payloads and advanced defense software is subject to strict U.S. export control regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and Export Administration Regulations (EAR). We must obtain and maintain appropriate licenses and ensure compliance with all export restrictions. Any violations, even inadvertent ones, could result in criminal and civil penalties, loss of export privileges, debarment from government contracts, and severe reputational harm.

Dependence on government and homeland security customers exposes us to risks associated with budget constraints, procurement processes, and policy changes.

A significant portion of our target market consists of U.S. government agencies, military branches, and homeland security entities, whose purchases are subject to federal budgeting cycles, sequestration, or shifts in defense priorities. Reductions in defense spending, delays in appropriations, or changes in administration policies could decrease demand for our distributed products, impacting our revenue projections. Government procurement processes are often lengthy, competitive, and unpredictable, requiring us to navigate complex bidding requirements without guaranteed success. Moreover, as a distributor rather than a manufacturer, we may face challenges in qualifying for certain contracts that favor direct suppliers or U.S.-based entities. Failure to secure key contracts or adapt to policy shifts could result in underutilization of our distribution rights, inability to meet minimum commitments under our agreements, and substantial financial harm.

The defense procurement process is lengthy, complex, and highly competitive, which may prevent us from achieving the revenue targets required under our distribution agreements.

Sales to defense and homeland security customers typically involve long procurement cycles, extensive testing and certification requirements, competitive bidding processes, and budget constraints. These factors could make it difficult to achieve the aggressive revenue targets we have committed to, particularly the $3 million first-year revenue requirement under the Tiltan agreement and the escalating purchase requirements under the BladeRanger agreement.

We face potential liability and indemnification obligations related to the defense products we distribute, which could expose us to significant financial losses.

As the exclusive U.S. distributor of drone payloads and defense software, we may face product liability claims, indemnification obligations, or lawsuits related to product performance, defects, or misuse. While our agreements include certain protections, we could still face substantial legal costs, damages, and reputational harm from claims related to these defense technologies, particularly given their use in critical security applications.

Risks Related to Our International Operations

Our Israeli operations face active military conflict without war risk insurance.

Our Israeli subsidiaries operate in an active conflict zone with ongoing military operations. Risks include: missile attacks that could destroy facilities; mandatory reserve duty removing 30% of workforce; flight suspensions preventing logistics; supply chain disruptions; cyber attacks on defense companies; and economic impacts from mobilization. Standard insurance excludes war risks, and specialized coverage is unavailable or prohibitively expensive. During the October 2023 conflict, Israeli companies experienced 40% workforce reductions and 60-day operational suspensions. War-related losses would be entirely unrecovered.

Operating across multiple jurisdictions creates irreconcilable legal conflicts.

Our U.S., Israeli, and European operations create conflicts between national security laws, technology transfer restrictions, and foreign investment regulations. Critical conflicts include: U.S. ITAR restrictions versus Israeli technology requirements; CFIUS powers versus Israeli defense controls; EU privacy laws versus U.S. surveillance requirements; and conflicting sanctions regimes. Compliance with one jurisdiction’s laws may violate another’s, creating permanent risk regardless of our compliance efforts.

Our foreign ownership structure may permanently preclude classified U.S. defense programs.

Our foreign ties may exclude us from classified programs representing 40% of defense spending. The National Industrial Security Program requires FOCI mitigation that severely restricts operations. Even with mitigation, we would be excluded from Special Access Programs and the highest-value contracts. Major primes increasingly refuse to work with FOCI-mitigated companies. Our structure may create an insurmountable barrier to 40% of the U.S. defense market.

Geopolitical tensions, international conflicts, or changes in U.S.-Israel relations could disrupt our supply chain and restrict our ability to distribute defense technologies.

As our suppliers are based in Israel, our operations are vulnerable to geopolitical risks in the Middle East, including ongoing conflicts, political instability, or escalations involving Israel. Such events could lead to supply disruptions, increased costs for shipping or insurance, or export restrictions imposed by Israeli authorities. Furthermore, shifts in U.S. foreign policy, trade relations with Israel, or sanctions could limit our access to these technologies. For instance, heightened tensions might result in delays at ports, damage to supplier facilities, or workforce disruptions in Israel, directly impacting our ability to fulfill customer orders. If we cannot secure alternative sources quickly, these risks could cause significant interruptions in our business, leading to breaches of customer contracts, financial losses, and potential legal liabilities.

We are subject to stringent U.S. and international regulations governing defense technologies, and non-compliance could result in fines, loss of licenses, or restrictions on our operations.

The distribution of defense-related products, including drone payloads and software for GPS-denied navigation, AI simulations, 3D mapping, and multi-sensor management, is heavily regulated under U.S. laws such as the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), Export Administration Regulations (EAR), and the Arms Export Control Act. These regulations require us to obtain export licenses, register as a defense exporter, and comply with end-user restrictions, particularly since our products originate from Israel and are intended for U.S. defense and homeland security applications. Violations, even unintentional, could lead to civil or criminal penalties, revocation of licenses, or debarment from government contracts. Additionally, changes in regulatory interpretations or heightened scrutiny of foreign-sourced defense tech could impose new compliance burdens, increasing our costs and delaying product distribution. Our limited experience in this regulatory environment heightens the risk of oversight failures, which could materially adversely affect our business and reputation.

Risks Related to Our Financial Condition

We have no meaningful revenue after terminating our largest customer.

Following the mutual termination of our agreement with Triton Capital Markets Ltd. (“TCM”) effective September 30, 2024, our Digital RFQ business, which previously generated approximately $1.6 million in monthly revenue, ceased operations. Our current revenue is limited to minimal amounts from legacy operations as we transition to a defense-focused business model. New defense contracts, if obtained, typically require 18-24 months before generating meaningful revenue, creating a significant revenue gap during our transformation period.

Our accumulated deficit and negative working capital raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our financial condition includes accumulated deficits, negative working capital, and ongoing losses that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The September 2025 private placement gross proceeds of $10 million, less offering expenses and after accounting for our current monthly operating expenses of approximately $1.5-2.0 million, are expected to fund operations for approximately 4-6 months based on management’s current operating plans and assumptions. Going concern opinions trigger loan defaults, supplier credit restrictions, customer reluctance, and employee departures. Defense customers require financial stability we cannot demonstrate. The substantial doubt about our continuation could force bankruptcy before our transformation can be implemented.

We lack the financial infrastructure required for defense contracting.

Defense contractors require: performance bonds equaling 100% of contract value; payment bonds; letters of credit; working capital lines for 60-90 day payment cycles; and DCAA-compliant accounting systems. Surety companies require 3 years of profitable operations we don’t have. Banks won’t provide credit without contract history and positive cash flow. Without bonding, we cannot bid on contracts exceeding $150,000. These gaps exclude us from meaningful defense contracts.

Nasdaq delisting proceedings threaten our existence.

On August 28, 2025, we received a deficiency letter from Nasdaq indicating that we no longer complied with the minimum Market Value of Listed Securities requirement of $50 million for continued listing. On September 26, 2025, we received written confirmation from Nasdaq that we had regained compliance with the minimum Market Value of Listed Securities requirement and the matter was now closed. There can be no guarantee that we will continue to meet the requirements for listing on Nasdaq. Our failure to maintain compliance, and our failure to regain compliance thereafter, could result in delisting, which would trigger debt acceleration, acquisition agreement breaches, loss of blue sky law exemptions, elimination of trading liquidity, inability to use stock as currency, and severe capital raising constraints. Based on historical precedent, companies receiving deficiency notices face significant challenges in maintaining regaining compliance. Delisting would effectively end our transformation strategy.

There is no assurance that we will achieve and maintain profitability or that our revenue and business models will be successful.

Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability is based on numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control. We may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to maintain profitability in the short or long-term. Our revenue growth may slow, or our revenue may decline for a number of other reasons, including reduced demand for our offerings, increased competition, a decrease in the usage of blockchain technologies generally, or any failure to capitalize on growth opportunities.

We are continually refining our revenue and business model and have shifted our focus to the development and commercialization of our Platforms. There is no assurance that these efforts will be successful or that we will generate revenues commensurate with our efforts and expectations or become or stay profitable. We may be forced to make significant changes to our revenue and business model to compete with our competitors’ offerings, and even if such changes are undertaken, there is no guarantee that they will be successful or profitable. Additionally, we will need to hire, train, and integrate qualified personnel to meet and further such changes to our business objectives at potentially significant additional expense. Failure to successfully implement revenue and business models or manage related expenses could cause us to be unprofitable and have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Changes in U.S. and foreign tax laws, as well as the application of such laws, could adversely impact our financial position and operating results.

We are subject to complex income and non-income tax laws and regulations in the United States and a variety of foreign jurisdictions. Our Israeli subsidiaries and cross-border defense operations create particular complexity. Both the United States and foreign jurisdictions may revise corporate income tax and other non-income tax laws which could impact the amount of tax due in such jurisdiction.

Our determination of our corporate income tax liability is subject to review and may be challenged by applicable U.S. and foreign tax authorities. Any adverse outcome of such challenge could harm our operating results and financial condition. The determination of our worldwide provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities requires significant judgment and, in the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is complex and uncertain. Defense contracts often involve complex cost accounting standards and allowable cost determinations that affect tax treatment. Our existing corporate structure and intercompany arrangements have been implemented in a manner we believe is in compliance with current prevailing tax laws. Furthermore, as we operate in multiple taxing jurisdictions, the application of tax laws can be subject to diverging and sometimes conflicting interpretations by tax authorities of these jurisdictions. It is not uncommon for taxing authorities in different countries to have conflicting views with respect to, among other things, the characterization and source of income or other tax items, the manner in which the arm’s-length standard is applied for transfer pricing purposes, or with respect to the valuation of intellectual property. The transfer of defense technology between our U.S. and Israeli operations raises particular transfer pricing complexities. The taxing authorities of the jurisdictions in which we operate may challenge our tax treatment of certain items or the methodologies we use for valuing developed technology or intercompany arrangements, which could impact our worldwide effective tax rate and harm our financial position and operating results.

We are also subject to non-income taxes, such as payroll, sales, use, value-added, net worth, property, and goods and services taxes in the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. A change in the tax law could impact tax positions which could result in an increased exposure related to such tax liabilities. Such changes could have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

In addition, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” (as defined under Sections 382 and 383 of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations) is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its pre-change NOLs and certain other tax attributes to offset post-change taxable income or taxes.

We have not performed a study to determine whether our NOLs are currently subject to Section 382 limitations. We may also experience a future ownership change under Section 382 of the Code that could affect our ability to utilize our NOLs to offset our income.

If our estimates or judgment relating to our critical accounting policies prove to be incorrect, our operating results could be adversely affected.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, as provided in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Estimates”. The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities, and equity, and the amount of revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Significant estimates and judgments involve the identification of performance obligations in revenue recognition, particularly for defense contracts with multiple deliverables and milestone payments, evaluation of tax positions, inter-company transactions, and the valuation of stock-based awards, among others. Defense contracts require particular judgment in percentage-of-completion accounting and estimating costs to complete. Our operating results may be adversely affected if our assumptions change or if actual circumstances differ from those in our assumptions, which could cause our operating results to fall below the expectations of analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in the trading price of our Common Stock.

The accounting rules and regulations that we must comply with are complex and subject to interpretation by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC, and various bodies formed to promulgate and interpret appropriate accounting principles. As we transition to defense contracting, we must adopt government cost accounting standards and comply with DCAA requirements, which are significantly different from our previous financial services accounting. A change in these principles or interpretations could have a significant effect on our reported financial results and may even affect the reporting of transactions completed before the announcement or effectiveness of a change. Recent actions and public comments from the FASB and the SEC have focused on the integrity of financial reporting and internal controls. In addition, many companies’ accounting policies are being subject to heightened scrutiny by regulators and the public.

Defense contracting involves unique accounting requirements including Cost Accounting Standards (CAS), progress payment billing, and complex revenue recognition for long-term contracts. We lack experience with these specialized accounting requirements, and establishing DCAA-compliant accounting systems typically costs $500,000 to $1 million.

There remains uncertainty on how companies transitioning between industries should account for discontinued operations, acquisition-related costs, and transformation expenses. Uncertainties in or changes to regulatory or financial accounting standards could result in the need to change our accounting methods, restate our financial statements or impair our ability to provide timely and accurate financial information, which could adversely affect our financial statements, result in a loss of investor confidence, and more generally impact our business, operating results, and financial condition.

As we transition from financial technology to defense, our traditional business metrics are no longer applicable, and we have not yet established meaningful defense industry metrics. We will need to develop new metrics relevant to defense contracting, such as contract backlog, book-to-bill ratios, win rates, and program performance indices. These metrics will be calculated using internal company data and initially will not be validated against industry standards. While these numbers will be based on what we believe to be reasonable estimates for the applicable period of measurement, there are inherent challenges in such measurements. During our transformation period, we have minimal operational metrics to report, making it difficult for investors to evaluate our progress or compare us to established defense contractors.

Our future defense business metrics may also be impacted by program delays, contract modifications, stop-work orders, or classification restrictions that limit disclosure. Government contracting involves unique reporting requirements and restrictions that differ significantly from commercial business metrics. If our metrics provide us with incorrect or incomplete information about program performance and contract profitability, we may make inaccurate conclusions about our business.

We are subject to changes in financial reporting standards or policies, including as a result of choices made by us, which could materially adversely affect our reported results of operations and financial condition and may have a corresponding material adverse impact on capital ratios.

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which are periodically revised or expanded. Accordingly, from time to time we are required to adopt new or revised accounting standards issued by recognized bodies. It is possible that future accounting standards and financial reporting standards or policies, including as a result of choices made by us, which we are required to adopt, could change the current accounting treatment that applies to our consolidated financial statements and that such changes could have a material adverse effect on our reported results of operations and financial condition, and may have a corresponding material adverse effect on capital ratios.

We are required to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This assessment includes disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting. During the evaluation and testing process of our internal controls, if we identify one or more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we will be unable to certify that our internal control over financial reporting is effective. We cannot assure that there will not be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting in the future. Any failure to maintain internal control over financial reporting could severely inhibit our ability to accurately report our financial condition or results of operations. If we are unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm determines we have a material weakness or significant deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, the market price of our stock could decline, and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the exchange on which shares of our stock are listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities. Failure to remedy any material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, or to implement or maintain other effective control systems required of public companies, could also restrict our future access to the capital markets.

We might require additional capital to support business growth, and this capital might not be available or may require stockholder approval to obtain.

We have funded our operations since inception primarily through equity financings, convertible notes, and revenue generated by our products and services. We intend to continue to make investments in our business to respond to business challenges, including developing new products and services, enhancing our operating infrastructure, expanding our international operations, and acquiring complementary businesses and technologies, all of which may require us to secure additional funds.

Additional financing may not be available on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we incur additional debt, the debt holders would have rights senior to holders of our Common Stock to make claims on our assets, and the terms of any debt could restrict our operations.

Risks Related to Our Employees and Other Service Providers

In the event of employee or service provider misconduct or error, our business may be adversely impacted.

Employee or service provider misconduct or error could subject us to legal liability, financial losses, and regulatory sanctions, and could seriously harm our reputation and negatively affect our business. Such misconduct could include engaging in improper or unauthorized transactions or activities, misappropriation of customer funds, and misappropriation of information, failing to supervise other employees or service providers, or improperly using confidential information.

Employee or service provider errors, including mistakes in executing, recording, or processing transactions for customers, could expose us to the risk of material losses even if the errors are detected. Although we have implemented processes and procedures and provide trainings to our employees and service providers to reduce the likelihood of misconduct and error, these efforts may not be successful. Moreover, the risk of employee or service provider error or misconduct may be even greater for novel products and services, and is compounded by the fact that many of our employees and service providers are accustomed to working at tech companies which generally do not maintain the same compliance customs and rules as financial services firms.

This can lead to high risk of confusion among employees and service providers, particularly in a fast growth company like ours, with respect to compliance obligations particularly including confidentiality, data access, trading, and conflicts. It is not always possible to deter misconduct and the precautions we take to prevent and detect this activity may not be effective in all cases. If we were found not to have met our regulatory oversight and compliance and other obligations, we could be subject to regulatory sanctions, financial penalties and restrictions on our activities for failure to properly identify, monitor and respond to potentially problematic activity, which could seriously damage our reputation. Our employees, contractors, and agents could also commit errors that subject us to financial claims for negligence, as well as regulatory actions, or result in financial liability. Further, allegations by regulatory or criminal authorities of improper transactions could affect our brand and reputation.

We operate in a relatively new industry that is not widely understood and requires highly skilled and technical personnel. We believe that our future success is highly dependent on the talents and contributions of our senior management team, including Menachem Shalom, our Chief Executive Officer and a director and other key service providers across finance, compliance, legal, talent and marketing.

Our future success depends on our ability to attract, develop, motivate, and retain highly qualified and skilled employees and service providers. The pool of qualified talent is extremely limited, particularly with respect to executive talent, engineering, risk management, and financial regulatory expertise. We face intense competition for qualified individuals from numerous software and other technology companies. To attract and retain key personnel, we incur significant costs, including salaries and benefits and equity incentives. Even so, these measures may not be enough to attract and retain the personnel we require to operate our business effectively. The loss of even a few qualified employees, or an inability to attract, retain and motivate additional highly skilled employees required for the planned expansion of our business, could adversely impact our operating results and impair our ability to grow.

Our culture emphasizes innovation, and if we cannot maintain this culture as we grow, our business and operating results could be adversely impacted.

We believe that our entrepreneurial and innovative corporate culture has been a key contributor to our success. We encourage and empower our employees and service providers to develop and launch new and innovative products and services, which we believe is essential to attracting high quality talent, partners, and developers, as well as serving the best, long-term interests of our company. If we cannot maintain this culture as we grow, we could lose the innovation, creativity and teamwork that has been integral to our business, in which case our products and services may suffer and our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely impacted.

Additional Risk Factors

Cybersecurity requirements exceed our current capabilities.

Defense contractors face sophisticated nation-state cyber threats and strict requirements we cannot meet. The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification requires 110 security controls, third-party assessment, and ongoing monitoring. Our inadequate cybersecurity virtually guarantees a breach that could result in contract loss and massive liability.

Environmental liabilities could exceed our resources.

Aerospace operations create environmental liabilities including hazardous materials, groundwater contamination, and air emissions with unlimited remediation costs. Recent examples: Raytheon allocated $1.2 billion for cleanup. Environmental insurance excludes pre-existing conditions. Discovery of contamination could trigger costs exceeding our market capitalization.

Related party transactions create inherent conflicts.

Our CEO’s ownership of Star 26 and other entities creates unavoidable conflicts. The Acquisition involved Mr. Shalom negotiating both sides. Delaware courts apply “entire fairness” review to conflicted transactions. Related party dealings create litigation risk, regulatory scrutiny, and investor avoidance that could prevent capital raising.

We may never achieve profitability.

We have a history of losses, minimal current revenue, massive transformation costs, and highly uncertain future revenue. Even if our transformation succeeds, the defense industry’s long sales cycles, competitive pressures, and contract risks may prevent profitability. We may exhaust our resources before generating sustainable revenue, resulting in total loss of investment.

Cyberattacks and security breaches of our systems, or those impacting our customers or third parties, could adversely impact our brand and reputation and our business, operating results and financial condition.

As we transition to the defense industry, we will handle highly sensitive defense-related data, technical specifications, and potentially classified information once we obtain necessary clearances. Our business will involve the collection, storage, processing and transmission of confidential information, defense contractor data, employee, service provider and other personal data, as well as information required to support defense programs. For our defense operations, we must build our reputation on the premise that our systems meet stringent defense industry security requirements including CMMC, DFARS, and NIST standards. As a result, any actual or perceived security breach of us or our third-party partners may:

●

harm our reputation and brand and potentially result in loss of facility security clearances;

●

result in our systems or services being unavailable and interrupt our operations;

●

result in improper disclosure of data and violations of applicable privacy laws, ITAR, EAR, and defense regulations;

●

result in significant regulatory scrutiny, investigations, fines, penalties, potential debarment from defense contracts, and other legal, regulatory and financial exposure;

●

cause us to incur significant remediation costs;

●

compromise classified or controlled technical information critical to defense programs;

●

reduce defense contractors’ confidence in, or decrease use of, our products and services;

●

divert the attention of management from the operation of our business;

●

result in significant compensation or contractual penalties from us to our customers including the U.S. government or third parties as a result of losses to them or claims by them; and

●

adversely affect our business and operating results.

Further, any actual or perceived breach or cybersecurity attack directed at other defense contractors or government systems, whether or not we are directly impacted, could lead to a general loss of customer confidence in our ability to protect sensitive defense information, which could negatively impact us including the market perception of the effectiveness of our security measures and technology infrastructure.

An increasing number of organizations, including defense contractors, government agencies, and critical infrastructure providers, have disclosed breaches of their information security systems, some of which have involved sophisticated and highly targeted attacks, including on their websites, classified networks, and infrastructure. Attacks upon systems across the defense industry are increasing in their frequency, persistence, and sophistication, and, in many cases, are being conducted by sophisticated, well-funded, and organized groups and individuals, including nation-state actors specifically targeting defense contractors. The techniques used to obtain unauthorized, improper, or illegal access to systems and information (including customers’ personal data and digital assets), disable or degrade services, or sabotage systems are constantly evolving, may be difficult to detect quickly, and often are not recognized or detected until after they have been launched against a target. These attacks may occur on our systems or those of our third-party service providers or partners. Certain types of cyberattacks could harm us even if our systems are left undisturbed. For example, attacks may be designed to deceive employees and service providers into releasing control of our systems to a hacker, while others may aim to introduce computer viruses or malware into our systems with a view to stealing confidential or proprietary data. Additionally, certain threats are designed to remain dormant or undetectable until launched against a target and we may not be able to implement adequate preventative measures.

Although we do not have a past history of material security breaches or cyberattacks, as we enter the defense industry we will become a more attractive target for state-sponsored attacks. We are developing systems and processes designed to protect the data we manage, prevent data loss and other security breaches, and meet defense industry cybersecurity requirements. We expect to continue to expend significant resources to bolster these protections, but there can be no assurance that these security measures will provide absolute security or prevent breaches or attacks. Threats can come from a variety of sources, including criminal hackers, hacktivists, state-sponsored intrusions, industrial espionage, and insiders. In the defense industry, certain threat actors are supported by significant financial and technological resources, making them even more sophisticated and difficult to detect. As a result, our costs and the resources we devote to protecting against these advanced threats and their consequences will increase over time.

Although we maintain insurance coverage that we believe is adequate for our business, it may be insufficient to protect us against all losses and costs stemming from security breaches, cyberattacks, and other types of unlawful activity, or any resulting disruptions from such events. Defense-specific cyber insurance is particularly expensive and may exclude nation-state attacks. Outages and disruptions of our systems, including any caused by cyberattacks, may harm our reputation and our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Adverse economic conditions may adversely affect our business.

Our future performance in the defense industry is subject to general economic conditions, defense budget appropriations, continuing resolutions, sequestration risks, and geopolitical tensions that drive defense spending. The United States and other key defense markets experience cyclical changes in defense budgets from time to time based on political priorities, threat assessments, and fiscal constraints. Defense spending is subject to annual appropriations and can be affected by government shutdowns, budget caps, and changing national security priorities. The impact of defense budget cycles on our business is highly uncertain and dependent on a variety of factors, including congressional appropriations, international conflicts, emerging threats, and other events beyond our control. Geopolitical developments, such as regional conflicts, arms races, and alliance dynamics can directly impact defense spending priorities. To the extent that defense budgets are reduced or reallocated away from our focus areas, our ability to win contracts and generate revenue may suffer.

We may be adversely affected by natural disasters, pandemics, and other catastrophic events, and by man-made problems such as war or terrorism, that could disrupt our business operations, and our business continuity and disaster recovery plans may not adequately protect us from a serious disaster.

Natural disasters or other catastrophic events may cause damage or disruption to our operations, international commerce, and the global economy, and could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. Our business operations are subject to interruption by natural disasters, fire, power shortages, and other events beyond our control. Our Israeli subsidiaries face particular risks from regional conflicts, including potential facility damage, workforce mobilization for military service, and operational disruptions.

In addition, our global operations expose us to risks associated with public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics, which could harm our business and cause our operating results to suffer. Defense programs may be delayed or suspended during national emergencies, affecting our revenue and operations.

Further, war, acts of terrorism, labor activism and other geopolitical unrest could cause disruptions in our business or the businesses of our partners or the economy as a whole. While increased global tensions may drive defense spending, they also create operational risks for our international operations, particularly in Israel. In the event of a natural disaster, including a major earthquake, blizzard, or hurricane, or a catastrophic event such as a fire, power loss, or telecommunications failure, we may be unable to continue our operations and may endure system interruptions, reputational harm, delays in program execution, lengthy interruptions in service, breaches of data security, and loss of critical data, all of which could have an adverse effect on our future operating results.

Acquisitions, joint ventures or other strategic transactions create certain risks and may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Acquisitions, partnerships and joint ventures are central to our transformation strategy. We recently completed our acquisitions of Star 26, Tiltan and Nimbus, each of which is an Israeli defense company, and divested our Digital RFQ business. We may not be successful in finding additional defense acquisition targets. In addition, we may not be able to successfully finance or integrate any defense businesses given our complete lack of defense industry experience.

We may not be able to identify suitable defense acquisition candidates or complete acquisitions in the future, which could adversely affect our future growth; or businesses that we acquire may not perform as well as expected or may be more difficult or expensive to integrate and manage than expected, particularly given the specialized nature of defense operations and our lack of industry knowledge, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations. In addition, the process of integrating these acquisitions may disrupt our business and divert our resources.

In addition, acquisitions of defense companies, particularly those outside our current operating jurisdictions often involve additional or increased risks including, for example:

●

managing geographically separated organizations, systems and facilities with different security requirements;

●

integrating personnel with security clearances and diverse business backgrounds and organizational cultures;

●

complying with defense export controls and foreign regulatory requirements;

●

fluctuations in exchange rates;

●

enforcement and protection of intellectual property and controlled technical data in some foreign countries;

●

difficulty entering new foreign markets due to, among other things, national security restrictions, customer acceptance and business knowledge of these new markets; and

●

general economic and political conditions affecting defense relationships between countries.

These risks may arise for a number of reasons: we may not be able to find suitable defense businesses to acquire at affordable valuations or on other acceptable terms; we may face competition for acquisitions from other established defense companies; we may need to borrow money or sell equity or debt securities to the public to finance acquisitions and the terms of these financings may be adverse to us; changes in accounting, tax, securities or other regulations could increase the difficulty or cost for us to complete acquisitions; we may incur unforeseen obligations or liabilities in connection with acquisitions including environmental remediation costs common in aerospace facilities; we may need to devote unanticipated financial and management resources to an acquired business; we may not realize expected operating efficiencies or product integration benefits from an acquisition; we are entering the defense market where we have no prior experience; and we may experience decreases in earnings as a result of non-cash impairment charges.

We cannot ensure that any acquisition, partnership or joint venture we make will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, or preventing an acquisition deemed undesirable by the Board and therefore depress the trading price of our Common Stock. Additionally, our foreign ownership structure and defense operations may trigger CFIUS review of certain transactions, potentially limiting strategic alternatives. In addition, as a Delaware corporation, the Company will generally be subject to provisions of Delaware law, including the DGCL. These provisions could also make it difficult for stockholders to take certain actions, including electing directors who are not nominated by the current members of the Board or taking other corporate actions, including effecting changes in management.

Such provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in the Board or management.

Any provision of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Amended and Restated Bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control could limit the opportunity for stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of the Company’s capital stock and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our Common Stock.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The Selling Stockholders will receive all of the proceeds from the sale of the Shares offered by them pursuant to this prospectus. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders, however, we would receive proceeds upon such Selling Stockholders’ cash exercise of the Warrant. If the Selling Stockholders fully exercise the Warrant for cash proceeds would be $18,026,472. We can give no assurances that any of the Warrant will be exercised, nor can we give any assurances that we will receive any proceeds from the Selling Stockholders’ sale pursuant to this prospectus.

We intend to use any proceeds from the Selling Stockholders’ exercise of the Warrant for working capital and other general corporate purposes. We may use a portion of any proceeds we might receive for acquisitions of complementary businesses, technologies, or other assets. However, we have no commitments to use any proceeds we might receive from this offering for any such acquisitions or investments at this time.

We will bear the out-of-pocket costs, expenses and fees incurred in connection with the registration of the Shares to be sold by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus. Other than registration expenses, the Selling Stockholders will bear underwriting discounts, commissions, placement agent fees or other similar expenses payable with respect to sales of the Shares.

DIVIDEND POLICY

To date, we have not paid dividends on shares of our Common Stock and we do not expect to declare or pay dividends on shares of our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of any dividends will depend upon our future earnings, if any, our financial condition, and other factors deemed relevant by our Board.

Star Acquisition

On December 15, 2024, the Company entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement and Call Option, which was subsequently amended on each of February 11, 2025, May 13, 2025, June 15, 2025 and July 25, 2025. Said agreement, as amended, provided that the Company would acquire 51% of Star and the Star Equity Holders would grant the Company an option to purchase the balance of the equity. Mr. Shalom, who is the Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, is a controlling shareholder, Chief Executive Officer and a director of Star.

On September 15, 2025, the parties executed and delivered the Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement with Star, the Star Equity Holders and Menachem Shalom, the representative of such shareholders, to memorialize the proposed Transaction. Pursuant to the Star Agreement, the Company at closing will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding capital of Star in consideration of (i) $21,000,000, to be paid by a 12-month $16,000,000 promissory note and the balance in $5,000,000 cash, less any amounts lent to Star from the Company since the Original Star Purchase Agreement, (ii) 4,770,340 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”), (iii) a five-year warrant (the “Star Warrant”) to purchase an aggregate of 12,017,648 shares of the Company’s common stock for an exercise price of $1.50 per share, (iv) $3,000,000 in cash and (v) a 6-month promissory note in the principal amount of $3,000,000, which shall accrue interest at the rate of 8%. The Shares, Star Warrants, cash and the 6-month note will be assigned by Star to the Star Equity Holders pro ratably. If the Star Agreement is terminated as a result of the Company failing to perform or observe the covenants or agreements of the Company or if Company fails to maintain its listing on Nasdaq, Star shall be entitled to a payment from the Company in the amount of $3,000,000.

The closing of the Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by the Company’s shareholders as required under applicable Nasdaq listing rules. As a result of the above transaction, the Shares issued to Star and assigned to the Star Equity Holders represents 16.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date of this prospectus. Further, assuming the Star Equity Holders have exercised the Star Warrant, the Star Equity Holders would hold an aggregate of 16,787,988 shares of Common Stock representing 57.6% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company as of the date of this prospectus.

On January 12, 2026, the Company completed the Star Acquisition. As a result of the acquisition, Star became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The transaction was approved by the Company’s shareholders on December 16, 2025 and confirmed by the Nasdaq Stock Market on January 9, 2026.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented to illustrate the effects of the acquisition of Star, as if it had occurred on January 1, 2024, the beginning of the most recently completed fiscal year preceding the Star Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as amended by Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) Final Rule Release No. 33-10786, Amendments to Financial Disclosures About Acquired and Disposed Businesses and are presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the Star Acquisition and Related Transactions.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2025 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024 are based upon, derived from and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the Company’s historical audited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and for the year ended September 30, 2024 (which are available in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and the year ended September 30, 2024, as filed with the SEC on May 8, 2025 and February 10, 2025, respectively), as amended on each of July 9, 2025 and April 14, 2025 and the unaudited historical financial statements as of September 30, 2025 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 of Star and the audited historical financial statements of Star as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in this proxy statement.

The historical combined financial information has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to reflect the accounting for the Star Acquisition in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information have been made. The assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments are described fully in the accompanying notes, which should be read in conjunction with the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The Star Acquisition is being accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”). Under ASC 805, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their acquisition date fair value. The allocation of the purchase price as reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based upon management’s internally developed preliminary estimates of the fair market value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as if the Star Acquisition had occurred on the aforementioned dates. This allocation of the purchase price depends upon certain estimates and assumptions, all of which are preliminary and, in some instances, are incomplete and have been made solely for the purpose of developing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Any adjustments to the preliminary estimated fair value amounts could have a significant impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information contained herein, and our future results of operations and financial position.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of the combined financial position or results of operations that would have been realized had the Star Acquisition occurred as of the dates indicated, nor is it meant to be indicative of any anticipated combined financial position or future results of operations that the Company will experience after the Star Acquisition.

Note 1 - Description of Transaction

On September 15, 2025, the parties executed and delivered the Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement with Star, the Star Equity Holders and Menachem Shalom, the representative of such shareholders, to memorialize the proposed Transaction. Pursuant to the Star Agreement, the Company at closing will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding capital of Star in consideration of (i) $21,000,000, to be paid by a 12-month $16,000,000 promissory note and the balance in $5,000,000 cash, less any amounts lent to Star from the Company since the Original Star Purchase Agreement, (ii) 4,770,340 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”), (iii) a five-year warrant (the “Star Warrant”) to purchase an aggregate of 12,017,648 shares of the Company’s common stock for an exercise price of $1.50 per share, (iv) $3,000,000 in cash and (v) a 6-month promissory note in the principal amount of $3,000,000, which shall accrue interest at the rate of 8%.The Shares, Star Warrants, cash and the 6-month note will be assigned by Star to the Star Equity Holders pro ratably. If the Star Agreement is terminated as a result of the Company failing to perform or observe the covenants or agreements of the Company or if Company fails to maintain its listing on Nasdaq, Star shall be entitled to a payment from the Company in the amount of $3,000,000.

On January 12, 2026, the Company completed the Star Acquisition. As a result of the acquisition, Star became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Company’s business is now focused on the defense sector.

The allocation of the purchase price discussed below is preliminary. The final allocation of the purchase price will be determined at a later date and is dependent on a number of factors, including the final evaluation of the fair value of Star’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Such final adjustments, which may include other increases or decreases to amortization resulting from the allocation of the purchase price to amortizable tangible and intangible assets, along with the related income tax effect, may be material.

Note 2 - Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was derived from the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“the Q32025 Form 10-Q”) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and the unaudited historical financial statements of Star for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and has been prepared as if the Star Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2024.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (“the 2024 Form 10-K”) for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and for the year ended September 30, 2024, and the audited historical financial statements of Star for the year ended December 31, 2024, and has been prepared as if the Star Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2024.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2025 combines the consolidated balance sheet included in the Q32025 Form 10-Q with the historical audited balance sheet for Star as of September 30, 2025, and has been prepared as if the Star Acquisition had occurred on September 30, 2025. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information herein has been prepared to illustrate the effects of the Star Acquisition and Related Transaction in accordance with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

The Star unaudited historical consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the Star audited historical consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 are included in this Proxy Statement. These unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements should be read in conjunction with such historical financial statements. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to reflect the accounting for the Star Acquisition in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Company has accounted for the Star Acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the authoritative guidance on business combinations under the provisions of ASC 805. The allocation of the purchase price as reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was based on a preliminary valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the accounting is subject to revision as more detailed analyses are completed and additional information about the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed becomes available. The final purchase price allocation may include changes to the amount of intangible assets, goodwill, and deferred taxes, as well as other items. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final purchase accounting may occur, and these differences could be material.

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies must be recognized at fair value if the fair value can be reasonably estimated. If the fair value of an asset or liability that arises from a contingency cannot be determined, the asset or liability would be recognized in accordance with ASC 450, “Disclosure of Certain Loss Contingencies” (“ASC 450”). If the fair value is not determinable and the ASC 450 criteria are not met, no asset or liability would be recognized. Management is not aware of any material contingencies related to Star.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented solely for informational purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the combined results of operations or financial position that might have been achieved for the periods presented, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future results of the combined company. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not reflect any cost savings from future operating synergies or integration activities, if any, or any revenue, tax, or other synergies, if any, that could result from the Star Acquisition.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this prospectus. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this prospectus, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” You should review the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus for a discussion of important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

Company Overview

Currently, the Company, through its US-based subsidiary, is engaged in the distribution of drones’ payloads in the defense and homeland security markets within the US. In addition, through its Israeli subsidiary, we are engaged in providing services to support civil and defense aviation needs, including MRO services, aircraft modernization, resale, and leasing, which includes the deployment of the de-icing technology for commercial aircrafts.

Previously we were a financial technology company that was focused on providing software, technology solutions, customer sales and marketing, and risk management technology hardware and software solutions packages for the worldwide retail FX trading industry and payment services from one fiat currency to another or to digital assets.

On January 12, 2026, we closed our acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Star 26 pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, by and among the Company, Star 26, the shareholders of Star 26, and Menachem Shalom, as representative of the shareholders of Star 26. As a result of the Acquisition, Star 26 became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The transaction was approved by the stockholders of the Company on December 16, 2025 and confirmed by Nasdaq on January 9, 2026. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the aggregate consideration paid by the Company consisted of: (i) $16,000,000, which was paid to Star 26 by the issuance by the Company of the Investment Note; (ii) $500,000 in cash, representing $5,000,000 less $4,500,000 previously borrowed by Star 26 from the Company; (iii) 4,770,340 Common Shares; (iv) the Warrant to purchase 12,017,648 Warrant Shares at an exercise price of $1.50 per share, exercisable for a period of five years from the Closing Date; (v) the Six-Month Note in the principal amount of $3,000,000, which accrues interest at the rate of 8% per annum and matures on July 12, 2026; and (vi) the Three-Month Note in the principal amount of $3,000,000 (the “Three-Month Note”), which matures on April 12, 2026. The Common Shares, the Warrant, the Six-Month Note and the Three-Month Note were subsequently assigned by Star 26 to the Selling Stockholders, pro ratably based on their equity ownership in Star 26. In connection with the Acquisition, the Company cancelled certain promissory notes previously issued by Star 26 to the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $4,500,000. The cancellation of said indebtedness was applied as a credit against the cash consideration otherwise payable to Star 26 at the closing of the Acquisition. The cash portion of the purchase price payable at closing was funded from the Company’s available cash on hand.

Star currently holds (1) 100% of Rimon, an Israeli corporation engaged as distributor of military-grade generators, masts and lighting systems and that is, among other clients, a supplier of generators for “Iron Dome” launchers, (2) 67% of Water.IO Ltd., an Israeli corporation engaged in smart hydration technology, and (3) a convertible loan issued by I.T.S. Industrial Techno-logic Solutions Ltd., an Israeli corporation which designs, develops and manufactures fully integrated electro-mechanical machines, assembly lines and custom motion systems.

Components of Results of Operations

Operating expenses consist of professional fees, compensation and related benefits, and other general and administrative expenses.

Professional fees consists of professional services, such as audit fees, legal service fees, advisory fees, and consulting fees.

Compensation and related benefits consists of personnel related expenses incurred in operating our business, including cash compensation and our benefit programs.

Other general and administrative consists of personnel-related expenses incurred to support our business, including executive, customer support, compliance, finance, human resources, legal, and other support operations, and include rent, filing fee, platform fee, travel and entertainment, miscellaneous taxes, and other miscellaneous items.

Impairment loss consists of impairment losses recognized on long-lived assets where there was a triggering event that indicated a long-lived assets carrying amount may not be recoverable. The impairment loss represents the amount the carrying value exceeds the fair value. Because these components fluctuate with market conditions, impairment loss can vary widely between periods.

Other (expense) income, net consists of interest expense, gain (loss) on extinguishment of liabilities, day one loss on issuance of liability-classified stock purchase warrants and embedded derivatives within convertible notes, change in fair value of liability-classified stock purchase warrants and derivative assets and liabilities, and gain on deconsolidation.

Because these components fluctuate with market conditions, other (expense) income, net can vary widely between periods.

Comparison For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 Versus the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024

Revenue

We had no revenue from continuing operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, due to the discontinuation of subsidiary DRFQ’s operations and the subsequent sale and deconsolidation of DRFQ in July 2025. We expect to report revenue upon the closing of the Star and Tiltan acquisitions, which we expect to be complete by and near the end of the fourth quarter of this year. At this time, the Company does not expect to generate revenue from other sources prior to the closing of these acquisitions.

Operating Expenses

Professional fees

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, professional fees increased by approximately $3,807,000, or 688.6%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, professional fees increased by approximately $2,785,000, or 85.3%. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in consulting fees of approximately $3,758,000, and audit fees of approximately $196,000, offset by decreases in advisory fees of approximately $1,055,000 and legal fees of approximately $114,000. This net increase in professional fees is mainly attributable to the consulting fees expense recognized from the fair value of the shares of common stock and the August 2025 Warrant both issued to Mandragola in connection with the new joint venture agreement entered into in August 2025. We expect that our professional fees will decrease in the near future as this report is reflecting inflated costs due to the aforementioned issuance of shares and warrants. Also, subsequent to the closing of the Star acquisition, we expect professional fees to decrease as we anticipate the frequency of one-time costs of professional fees to decrease.

Compensation and related benefits

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, our compensation and related benefits increased by approximately $178,000, or 333.1%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, our compensation and related benefits increased by approximately $258,000, or 237.8%, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. We expect that our compensation and related benefits will increase in the near future if the pending acquisition of Star completes during fiscal year 2025, as the Company expects to employ several individuals immediately following the closing of the acquisition. Our compensation and related benefits have been significantly lower than our professional fees due to the engagement of several professionals working for the Company on a consulting basis.

Other general and administrative expenses

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, total other general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $10,000, or 5.4%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, total other general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $372,000, or 69.3%, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was mainly attributable to additional costs associated with operating as a public company, including an increase in D&O insurance of approximately $138,000, marketing fees of approximately $113,000, rent expenses of approximately $101,000 attributable to new offices established in Israel and New York, entertainment and travel of approximately $121,000 attributable to the travel by our CEO and other business expenses of approximately $95,000, offset by a decrease in filing fees of approximately $198,000. We expect that other general and administrative expenses will continue to increase in the near future if the pending acquisition of Star completes during fiscal year 2025, as the Company expects to incur higher costs such as insurance, rent, advertising, and travel expenses.

Other Income (Expense)

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, other income (expense), net, decreased approximately $11,505,000, or 40,634.8%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, other income (expense), net, increased approximately $97,666,000, or 36,558.9%, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was attributable to, an increase in gain from change in fair value – stock purchase warrant liabilities of approximately $123,370,000 (see Note 11), a gain on deconsolidation of approximately $2,491,000 (see Note 4), a gain from change in fair value – convertible note embedded derivative of approximately $588,000, realized and unrealized gains of approximately $280,000, and a decrease in loss on debt settlement of approximately $289,000, offset by a decrease in gains on settlement of vendor obligations and due to affiliates of approximately $403,000, and increases in day one loss on private placement of approximately $19,606,000 (see Note 13), loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $7,484,000, a loss from change in fair value – digital assets of approximately $968,000, penalties – late registration, payable to the investor in connection with the December 2024 Private Placement, of $800,000, interest expense due to amortization of debt discounts of approximately $65,000, and interest expense on debt of approximately $26,000. The significant changes in fair value recognized on the Company’s stock purchase warrant liabilities are directly related to several warrants granted during fiscal year 2024. For the duration of the life of these warrants, the Company expects to continue to recognize significant gains or losses heavily driven by any changes in the Company’s stock price at each quarterly and annual report date.

Discontinued Operations

Net loss from discontinued operations was estimated to be $60,264 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to net income of $5,672,219 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Net loss from discontinued operations was estimated to be $460,971 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to net income of $4,979,958 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. These decreases were due to a decrease in net loss from the operations of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary DRFQ, which was the sole driver of the Company’s former financial services segment. The Company deconsolidated DRFQ as of July 29, 2025, and reported a net gain on deconsolidation of $2,491,485 during the three months ended September 30, 2025 (see Note 4).

Comparison For the Three Months Ended December 31, 2024 Versus the Three Months Ended December 31, 2023

Operating Expenses

Professional fees

For the three months ended December 31, 2024, professional fees increased by approximately $386,000, or 14.2%, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $386,000 in consulting and advisory fees and $33,000 in legal fees, offset by a decrease of approximately $33,000 in audit fees. This increase in professional fees was primarily due to a heavy focus on the Company’s shift to the defense sector, as well as approximately $1,364,000 of professional fees associated with share issuances as consideration for services provided from consultants. We expect that our professional fees will decrease in the near future as we incurred a significant amount of one time costs included in professional fees during the three months ended December 31, 2024.

Compensation and related benefits

For the three months ended December 31, 2024, compensation and related benefits increased by approximately $1,146,000, or 4,583.2%, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023. This increase was attributable to incentive and settlement share issuances to current and former directors of the Company. We expect that our compensation and related benefits will decrease in the near future considering there were one time costs associated with settlement and exit agreements.

Other general and administrative expenses

For the three months ended December 31, 2024, total other general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $191,000, or 341.9%, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $121,000 in insurance expense, $47,000 in filing and transfer agent fees, $18,000 in travel expenses, and $5,000 in other general expenses. We expect that our other general and administrative expenses will continue to increase in the near future as we continue to increase our focus on business expansion in the defense sector.

Other (Expense) Income

Other (expense) income includes change in fair value of liability-classified stock purchase warrants and derivative liabilities, day one loss on issuance of stock purchase warrants in connection with conversion of convertible note payable, Private Placement, loss on reclassification of stock purchase warrant from equity-classified to liability-classified, interest expense, loss on settlement of vendor obligations, and gain on sale of investment.

For the three months ended December 31, 2024, other expense, net, increased by approximately amounted to $156,100,000, or 2,662,913.0%, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023. , mainly attributable to losses recognized by an increase in fair value of liability-classified stock purchase warrants and derivative liabilities of approximately $141,210,000, day one loss on issuance of stock purchase warrants in connection with conversion of convertible note payable and Private Placement of approximately $14,197,000, loss on reclassification of stock purchase warrant from equity-classified to liability-classified of approximately $46,000, interest expense of approximately $439,000, and a loss on settlement of vendor obligations of approximately $278,000, offset by gain on sale of investment of approximately $64,000.

Discontinued Operations

Net loss from discontinued operations was $157,975 for the three months ended December 31, 2024. This loss is wholly attributable to the operations of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Digital RFQ, which is considered to be held-for-sale as of November 2024.

Comparison For the Year Ended September 30, 2024 Versus the Year Ended September 30, 2023

Operating Expenses

Professional fees

For the year ended September 30, 2024, professional fees increased by approximately $4,421,000, or 282.2%, as compared to the year ended September 30, 2023. The significant increase was primarily attributable to an increase in advisory service fees of $3,648,100, consulting fees of approximately $659,000, and legal fees of approximately $295,000 attributed to additional costs associated with the December 2023 business combination, offset by a decrease audit fees of approximately $173,000 attributed to one time costs attributed to transitioning from a private company to a public company. We expect that our professional fees will increase in the near future as consultancy agreements were entered into during the fourth quarter with outsourced executives and other personnel of the Company that we anticipate to be in place for the entire fiscal year 2025.

Compensation and related benefits

For the year ended September 30, 2024, our compensation and related benefits increased by approximately $13,000, or 11.1%, as compared to the year ended September 30, 2023. We expect that our compensation and related benefits will decrease significantly considering the pending disposal of our financial services segment. However, we expect an overall increase in compensation expenses in the near future if the pending acquisition of Star completes during fiscal year 2025.

Amortization of intangible assets

For the year ended September 30, 2024, our amortization of intangible assets decreased by $265,000, or 100.0%, as compared to the year ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was mainly attributable to the impairment loss recorded on our acquired intangible assets during the year ended September 30, 2023 that reduced the carrying value of the acquired intangible assets to zero. We expect that our amortization of intangible assets will increase in the near future if the pending acquisition of Star completes during fiscal year 2025.

Bad debt expense – related parties

For the year ended September 30, 2024, our bad debt expense – related parties decreased by $529,000, or 100.0%, as compared to the year ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was attributable to zero bad debt expense being recognized in the year ended September 30, 2024, after write-off of two receivables from related parties during the prior comparative period..

Other general and administrative expenses

For the year ended September 30, 2024, total other general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $329,000, or 124.4%, as compared to the year ended September 30, 2023. The increase was mainly attributable to additional costs associated with operating as a public company, including an increase in D&O insurance of approximately $202,000 and filing fees of approximately $265,000, offset by a decrease in office expenses of approximately $57,000, entertainment and travel of approximately $41,000, and other business expenses of approximately $41,000. We expect that other general and administrative expenses will increase in the near future if the pending acquisition of Star completes during fiscal year 2025.

Impairment loss

At each reporting period end, we assessed our long-lived assets for any impairment and concluded that there were indicators of impairment as of September 30, 2024 and 2023 and determined that the estimated undiscounted cash flows related to certain long-lived assets were less than their carrying amounts for both periods. For the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we considered the investee’s series of operating losses and global economic environment, and recognized an impairment loss of $391,217 and $6,210,783 for the year ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the year ended September 30, 2023, we were not able to realize the financial projections provided by an entity acquired at the time of the intangible assets purchase and determined to recognize an impairment loss of $5,703,539, reducing the carrying value of the acquired intangible assets to zero. These impairment losses for the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 totaled $391,217 and $11,914,322, respectively, a decrease of $11,523,105, or 96.7%.

Other Expense

For the year ended September 30, 2024, other expense, net, increased approximately $272,000, or 48,392.0%, as compared to the year ended September 30, 2023. The increase was attributable to, an increase in gain on settlement of liabilities of approximately $403,000, offset by a net loss on settlement of vendor obligations of approximately $289,000, an increase in interest expense on debt-related parties of approximately $44,000, an increase in interest expense due to amortization of debt discounts on convertible and non-convertible notes of approximately $316,000, and an increase in interest expense on convertible and non-convertible notes of approximately $27,000.

Discontinued Operations

Net loss from discontinued operations was $1,140,921 for the year ended September 30, 2024 compared to $2,768,114 for the comparative prior period. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $333,038 and $1,960,230 in net income and net loss, respectively, from the Company’s general support services operations and the operations of the Company’s wholly owed subsidiary DRFQ. Specifically, we ceased operations of our general support services operations on January 1, 2024 and we did not generate revenue or incur any expenses subsequent to that date and DRFQ’s primary USD Banking rails were closed when Signature and Silvergate closed in March 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We generated a pre-tax net income from continuing operations of $90,072,207 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and incurred a pre-tax net loss from continuing operations of $4,570,383 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and have an accumulated deficit of $111,464,507 as of September 30, 2025 and $201,075,743 at December 31, 2024. As of September 30, 2025, we had a working capital deficit of $30,512,429, including $7,611,465 of cash and cash equivalents. The pre-tax net income from continuing operations of approximately $90,000,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 is primarily due to the applicable accounting treatment used to recognize gains from changes in fair value of liability-classified warrants which does not impact our cash position. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 the most significant use of the Company’s cash was for the purpose of advance cash payments to Star of $3,500,000 pursuant to the amended terms of the Star transaction. The Company intends to make an additional final advance payment of $500,000 subsequent to September 30, 2025.

We have not been able to generate sufficient cash from operating activities to fund our ongoing operations. However, we expect to generate revenue beginning immediately after the closing of the Star acquisition, which we expect to be completed near the end of the fourth quarter of 2025. Since our inception, we have raised capital through private sales of common stock and debt securities. Most recently, we raised $10,000,000 in gross proceeds from a private placement entered into on September 4, 2025. Our future success is dependent upon our ability to achieve profitable operations and generate cash from operating activities. There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support our operations.

To the extent that current and anticipated future sources of liquidity are insufficient to fund our future business activities and cash and other requirements, we may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. The sale of additional equity would result in additional dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of additional debt financing would result in debt service obligations and the instruments governing such debt could provide for operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. Even if debt financing is available, the cost of additional financing may be significantly higher than our current debt.

The risks and uncertainties surrounding the Company’s ability to continue to raise capital and its limited capital resources raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate our continuation as a going concern.

Cash Flows

The following summarizes the key components of our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

There were no cash flows provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Financing activities

Net cash flow provided by in financing activities was approximately $8,347,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, which consisted of net proceeds from issuance of private placement of approximately $9,225,000, offset by a repayment of note payable of $78,000 and payments of penalty – late registration of $800,000.

Net cash flow provided by financing activities was approximately $2,387,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which consisted of proceeds from loan payable – related parties of approximately $731,000, proceeds from issuance of convertible debt, net of issuance costs of approximately $996,000, proceeds from issuance of note payable of approximately $78,000, and cash provided by financing activities from discontinued operations of approximately $582,000.

In September 2025, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement with an investor in the form of an Equity Line of Credit (the “ELOC Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement, we may sell to the investor up to $250 million of our common stock. The proceeds received in connection with the ELOC Purchase Agreement will be used to finance the Company’s ongoing operations, working capital, and expected acquisitions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no outstanding derivative financial instruments, off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of consolidated financial statements also requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs, and expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from our estimates. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, operating results, and cash flows will be affected.

See Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a summary of significant accounting policies and significant estimates and assumptions and their effects on our financial statements. Below are the significant estimates and assumptions that we consider critical because they involve a significant amount of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Discontinued Operations

As discussed in Note 4 to the unaudited financial statements in this prospectus, the Company was unable to obtain complete financial information from a subsidiary for the period beginning April 1, 2025 and ending July 29, 2025. Consequently, management relied on historical trends and partial records to estimate the operating results of the discontinued operations for this period.

The inability to verify actual results introduces a level of uncertainty into the reported net loss from discontinued operations. Management continues to monitor the situation and may adjust its estimates in future filings should additional information become available.

Stock-based Compensation

We account for share-based payments that involve the issuance of shares of our common stock to employees and nonemployees and meet the criteria for share-based awards as stock-based compensation expense based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company has elected to recognize the adjustment to stock-based compensation expense in the period in which forfeitures occur. We recognize compensation expense for awards with only service conditions on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

If factors change, and we utilize different assumptions including the probability of achieving performance conditions, share-based compensation cost on future award grants may differ significantly from share-based compensation cost recognized on past award grants. If there are any modifications or cancellations of the underlying unvested securities, we may be required to accelerate any remaining unearned share-based compensation cost or incur incremental cost. Share-based compensation cost affects our compensation and benefits expenses.

Warrants

Classification: The Company determines the accounting classification of warrants it issues as either liability or equity classified by first assessing whether the warrants meet liability classification in accordance with ASC 480-10, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (“ASC 480”), then in accordance with ASC 815-40 (“ASC 815”), Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock. Under ASC 480, warrants are considered liability classified if the warrants are mandatorily redeemable, obligate the Company to settle the warrants or the underlying shares by paying cash or other assets, or warrants that must or may require settlement by issuing variable number of shares. If warrants do not meet liability classification under ASC 480, the Company assesses the requirements under ASC 815, which states that contracts that require or may require the issuer to settle the contract for cash are liabilities recorded at fair value, irrespective of the likelihood of the transaction occurring that triggers the net cash settlement feature. If the warrants do not require liability classification under ASC 815, and in order to conclude equity classification, the Company also assesses whether the warrants are indexed to its Common Stock and whether the warrants are classified as equity under ASC 815 or other applicable GAAP. After all relevant assessments, the Company concludes whether the warrants are classified as liability or equity. Liability classified warrants require fair value accounting at issuance and subsequent to initial issuance with all changes in fair value after the issuance date recorded in the statements of operations. Equity classified warrants only require fair value accounting at issuance with no changes recognized subsequent to the issuance date.

We assess the classification of our stock purchase warrants at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between equity and liability is required. For modified stock purchase warrants that result in a change of classification from equity to liability, a liability is recognized equal to the fair value on the date of modification, additional paid-in capital is adjusted by the fair value of the warrant on the date of issuance, and the difference is recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Valuation: The fair value of our equity-classified stock purchase warrants and liability-classified stock purchase warrants are determined utilizing Level 3 inputs using a Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model and a Monte Carlo simulation model, respectively.

In both models, the fair value of an award is affected by our stock price on the date of measurement as well as other assumptions, including the estimated volatility of our stock price over the term of the stock purchase warrant as of the measurement date and the estimated period of time that we expect third parties to hold the stock purchase warrants at the measurement date. The risk-free interest rate assumption we use is based upon United States Treasury interest rates appropriate for the expected life of the stock purchase warrant.

As our stock has limited trading history on Nasdaq, we use the historical volatility of our peer companies in order to estimate future stock price trends. We expect third parties to hold their stock purchase warrants for the contractual term as we do not have any history to support a shorter term and do not anticipate stock purchase warrants to be exercised prior to the end of the term. Our expected dividend rate is zero since we do not currently pay cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.

We use the Monte Carlo simulation model for our liability-classified stock purchase warrants in order to incorporate other subjective assumptions based on the terms of the specific stock purchase warrant agreements or the related host contract. For our liability-classified stock purchase warrants as of September 30, 2025, we included the probability of a fundamental event, as defined in the relevant agreements, occurring in our assumptions.

The aforementioned inputs entered into the models we use to fair value our stock purchase warrants are subjective estimates and changes to these estimates will cause the fair value of our stock purchase warrants and related debt issuance discount we recognize to vary.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Classification: We evaluate our financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC 815. Derivative instruments are initially recorded at fair value on the grant date and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss included in this Report under “Item 8. Financial Statements”. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. Bifurcated embedded derivatives are classified with the related host contract on the Company’s balance sheet.

Valuation: We use the Monte Carlo simulation model for our bifurcated embedded derivatives in order to incorporate subjective assumptions based on the terms of the specific host contracts. For our bifurcated embedded derivatives issued in connection with our December 2024 convertible note payable, we included the probability of a fundamental event, as defined in the relevant agreements, occurring in our assumptions in addition to the estimated volatility of our stock price over the term of the bifurcated embedded derivative as of the measurement date, the remaining term of the host contract at the measurement date, the risk-free interest rate based upon United States Treasury interest rates appropriate for the expected term, the conversion discount, and the redemption premium.

Legal and other contingencies

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, the outcomes of which are inherently uncertain, and such uncertainty may be enhanced due to the industry in which we operate. We record a liability when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable, the determination of which requires significant judgment. In addition, we record recoveries of these losses when it is probable that they will be collected. These estimates are highly sensitive to change and involve variables that are not completely within our control nor practicable to model, including decisions made by regulators and settlement negotiations. Resolution of legal and other contingencies in a manner inconsistent with management’s expectations could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Foreign Currency Risk

Foreign currency transaction risk

Revenues, expenses, and financial results of our foreign subsidiaries are recorded in the functional currency of these subsidiaries. Our foreign currency exposure is primarily related to transactions denominated in British Pounds attributable to cash, customer custodial funds and customer custodial cash liabilities and intercompany transactions where the transaction currency is different from a subsidiary’s functional currency. Changes in foreign exchange rates, and in particular a weakening of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar may negatively affect our results of operations as expressed in U.S. dollars. We have experienced and will continue to experience fluctuations in our results of operations as a result of gains or losses on the settlement and the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not the functional currency of the respective entity.

If an adverse 10% foreign currency exchange rate change was applied to the largest foreign currency exposure (e.g. British Pound) or to all foreign currency exposures in aggregate, of monetary assets, liabilities, and commitments denominated in currencies other than its functional currency as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, it would not have a material impact on our financial results.

From time to time, we may enter into derivatives or other financial instruments in an attempt to hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. It is difficult to predict the impact hedging activities would have on our results of operations. Additionally, the volatility of exchange rates depends on many factors that we cannot forecast with reliable accuracy. Our international operations increase our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations and, as a result, such fluctuations could have a material impact on our future results of operations and cash flows.

Fluctuations in functional currencies from our net investment in international subsidiaries expose us to foreign currency translation risk, where changes in foreign currency exchange rates may adversely affect our results of operations upon translation into U.S. dollars. See the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) in this prospectus for translation adjustments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. A 10% increase or decrease in foreign currency exchange rates used in translating the financial statements of subsidiaries with functional currencies other than our reporting currency would not have a material impact on our financial results.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Star

You should read the following discussion and analysis of Star’s financial condition and operating results together with the audited financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement.

This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements based upon current beliefs, plans and expectations that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Future results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.

Recent Developments

On February 3, 2025, Star entered into an agreement to purchase shares and options of Mia Dynamics Motors Ltd., a public company traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“Mia”). Star purchased a total of 2,250,000 ordinary shares of Mia at NIS 0.01 par value and 2,250,000 options (non-tradable) exercisable for 2,250,000 ordinary shares of the public company, up to 24 months from the date of the engagement and against an exercise price of NIS 0.60 per option for NIS 900,000 (approximately $249,000). On February 7, 2025, Star additionally purchased a total of 2,083,300 ordinary shares and 1,458,310 options (non-tradable) of Mia for NIS 750 thousand (approximately $208,000). The securities issued to Star constitute 1.28% of Mia outstanding capital (1.67% on a fully dilutive basis) and, as a result of the minority ownership, the interest is not considered material to Star.

On June 8, 2025, Star Twenty Six Ltd. (“Star Twenty Six”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Star, entered into an agreement with Water IO Ltd., a company listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“Water”) and its controlling shareholders, pursuant to which the parties agreed to engage in the following transaction whereby Star will lend Water NIS 600,000 (14% annual interest, 2-year term) which will be used to pay Water’s payables. Water will record A first-ranking floating charge on all company assets and a first-ranking fixed charge on unissued share capital (36.5M shares). Water is required to hold a shareholders’ meeting in which the shareholders will be requested to approve the transaction, approve Star’s nominees to be serve as Water directors and a reverse split of the company’s shares. Subject to obtaining shareholders’ approval and other closing conditions, Star will further lend Water NIS 700,000 and shall also invest NIS 700,000 as an equity investment. In return for Star fulfilling its obligations, Water will issue Star 72% of Water’s fully diluted share capital. The closing of the transaction is contingent on several conditions, including Star being satisfied with its due diligence of Water, Shareholder and TASE approvals and the registration of the shares to be issued to Star. After the closing of the transaction, Star commits to introducing new business activity into Water worth at least NIS 40M. The legacy business of Water will be transferred to a trustee for liquidation and any proceeds from the Sealed Air litigation in the U.S. will be Allocated: 35% to Water and 65% to pre-deal shareholders (pro rata). The litigation will be handled via a trust structure to be approved by shareholders, with the legal costs for Sealed Air case capped at $10K. If deal is terminated due to Water’s fault or failed due diligence then the first loan increases to NIS 2.1M with 18% annual interest and Star may convert loan to shares (up to 19.9%) at NIS 0.30/share. If terminated for other reasons (e.g., failed shareholder approval) Star can choose repayment or partial share conversion. Water’s assets, revenue and financial activity is not material (less than 20%) of Star’s current assets and revenues.

On June 8, 2025, Star Twenty Six entered into an agreement with I.T.S. Industrial Tecno-logic Solutions Ltd. (“ITS”) and its controlling shareholder Gera Eron, pursuant to which Star will lend ITS NIS 10,000,000. In return Star would get 51% of the share capital of ITS on a fully diluted basis. ITS is an Israeli company providing design, development, production, and manufacturing of serial, fully integrated electro-mechanical machines and sophisticated assembly lines. Positech, its wholly-owned subsidiary, designs and manufactures top-of-the-line, high-performance motion control systems for military and civilian use. Positech provides small to middle-series one-stop shop “Build to Spec” & “Build to print” custom-made prototypes and OEM systems in the Mechanical, Electrical, HW, FW, and SW Engineering fields. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Star was also granted an option to purchase the remainder 49% of ITS for three years from the controlling shareholder. Depending on whether the option is exercised in the first, second or third year hereafter, the agreed purchase price for the 49% is 25 million NIS, 30 million NIS or 35 million NIS, respectively. Star was provided 30 days to complete its due diligence in connection with the acquisition of ITS. Moreover, pursuant to the terms of the agreement, ITS has until July 7, 2025 to obtain the consent of its current banks to the agreement. If such confirmation is not received, Star would lend ITS ILS 2,500,000, with subsequent loans to be made in 30-day intervals thereafter. Subject to the completion of Star’s due diligence and to ITS banks’ consent, Star would provide the said loan and, in return, ITS shall issue Star shares equal to 51% of ITS. If the banks do not provide consent to the agreement by July 7^th, then the loan is due 12 months after the funds are paid to ITS and no shares shall be issued to the Lender. In such case no further loans are due to ITS. Based on the revenues, net income and assets of Water, the loan is not material to operations of Star.

On February 11, 2025, we executed and delivered an amendment to the Securities Purchase Agreement and Call Option, dated December 15, 2024 (as amended, the “Nukkleus Agreement”) with the Company, its equity holders and Mr. Shalom, acting in his capacity as the representative of the Star Equity Holders, increasing the amount of advances we can borrow from T3 Defense to $1,800,000.

On May 13, 2025, another amendment was executed among the parties increasing the amount of advances Star can borrow from T3 Defense to $3,000,000. On June 15, 2025, the parties entered into Amendment No. 3 whereby they clarified that if T3 Defense fails to make all payments by the agreed time or if the Star Agreement is terminated as a result of T3 Defense failing to perform or observe the covenants or agreements of T3 Defense or if T3 Defense fails to maintain its listing on Nasdaq, Star shall be entitled to a payment from T3 Defense in the amount of $3,000,000. On July 25, 2025, the parties entered into Amendment No. 4 whereby Menachem Shalom, the holder of all the issued and outstanding Class B common stock in Star, agreed to convert his Class B shares to Class A common stock, with the same rights as the shares of Class A common stock.

Our Acquisition of Rimon

B. Rimon Agencies Ltd., which we refer to as Rimon, is an Israeli limited liability company formed by the late Binyamin Rimon, its founder and former chief executive officer, on June 4, 1992. Rimon, an Israeli defense industry company, serves the Israeli market as an exclusive distributor of generators, masts, lighting solutions, and a wide range of defense, homeland security, and commercial systems. Star acquired Rimon from its founder and Chief Executive Officer, Menachem Shalom, on February 15, 2024 pursuant to an agreement in which he assigned and transferred all of his Rimon shareholdings, constituting 100% ownership thereof, to Billio, Star’s wholly owned subsidiary, in exchange for Star (1) assumption of his obligations and rights under certain agreements between himself, Rimon, and the former owners and sellers of Rimon, who we refer to as the Sellers, including but not limited to the right to be repaid by Rimon for a loan of NIS 425,000 which Mr. Shalom extended to the Sellers on December 25, 2023, and a NIS 750,000 payment obligation and other conditional/performance based payment obligations; (2) indemnification of the founder with respect to any and all of his obligations to the Sellers; and (3) Star’s reimbursement of the founder costs incurred in connection with his acquisition of Rimon. On December 12, 2024, the Sellers agreed that we may remove their names from the shares on which such names are currently affixed on the official Israeli securities registrar upon our payment of NIS 171,837 to the Sellers, an amount equal to (i) the sum of the final NIS 300,000 installment due February 15, 2024 and a fee owed to the sellers of Rimon in connection with a certain mast brokerage transaction between Fireco SARL and BL Advanced Ground Support Systems Ltd., (ii) less NIS 152,203, representing funds held in a private account of the late Binyamin Rimon, as collateral for certain of Rimon’s debt which was to be returned to us upon repayment of the debt and release of the collateral. Star paid the prior amount on December 18, 2024, and had the Sellers name removed from the official Israeli securities registrar thereafter.

In connection with our acquisition of Rimon from Mr. Shalom, we agreed to reimburse him for the costs incurred during his acquisition of Rimon and to establish the terms and conditions for the working capital advances he planned to provide, and subsequently provided, to Rimon. To do so, on February 15, 2024, we issued Mr. Shalom a demand grid promissory note with an initial principal of $155,405, representing the amounts he had extended to Rimon before that date, bearing interest at 8% per annum and maturing 60 days after the earlier of February 15, 2025, or upon the closing of a private placement or public offering for gross proceeds of at least $5,000,000. Since its issuance, the outstanding principal of the note: (i) increased by $23,424 to $178,829 on March 22, 2024, due to a working capital advance from Mr. Shalom, then (ii) decreased by $20,270 to $158,559 on May 23, 2024, after we repaid that amount of the outstanding principal of the note, then (iii) increased by $59,540 to $218,100 on August 28, 2024, due to an additional working capital advance from Mr. Shalom, then (iv) increased by $54,054 to $272,154 on the prior date to reflect an advance from Mr. Shalom to cover a portion of the second required payment to the Rimon sellers; then (v) increased by $189,362 to $461,516, the current outstanding principal of the note, on December 4, 2024, following an additional working capital advance from Mr. Shalom extended until that date.

Rimon Acquisition Accounting Treatment

Star accounted for the acquisition of Rimon as a business combination using the acquisition method under FASB ASC Topic 805 as of the date we obtained control. In compliance with ASC 810-10-40-6, we treated the series of transactions leading up to our acquisition of Rimon as a single transaction because: (i) we executed each transaction around the same time and in contemplation of one another, (ii) Mr. Shalom formed Star to acquire Rimon, (iii) Star’s formation depended on Mr. Shalom’s acquisition of Rimon, and (iv) the transactions formed a unified arrangement to make Rimon a wholly owned subsidiary of Star.

As the accounting acquirer, Star recorded the consideration that Mr. Shalom paid on our behalf. Star estimated the purchase price, identified the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as of the acquisition date, and recognized any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired as goodwill. However, we are still finalizing the purchase price allocation. As a result, our current fair value estimates for contingent consideration, goodwill, and related tax impacts are preliminary and may change as we receive more information, including final adjustments to net working capital. We expect to complete the valuation as soon as possible and no later than one year after the acquisition date.

The excess of Rimon’s purchase price over the fair market value of its net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, primarily reflecting Rimon’s the market opportunities in Israel. There is no goodwill in this purchase.

The following table sets forth the preliminary components of identifiable intangible assets acquired and their estimated useful lives as of the date of acquisition (in months):

	Fair value		Useful life
Distributor rights	$	89,000		60
Backlog		242,000		24
Customer Relationships		70,000		60
Total intangible assets	$	401,000

As described above and elsewhere in this prospectus, on February 15, 2024, we executed an assignment and assumption agreement with Mr. Shalom, pursuant to which we, through our wholly owned subsidiary Billio, acquired all 200 shares of Rimon’s issued and outstanding capital stock in exchange for our assumption of all Mr. Shalom’s rights and obligations under his agreements with the former owners and sellers of Rimon, dated December 22, 2023, and February 15, 2024. According to ASC 805in a common control transaction, a receiving entity records assets and liabilities at the transferring entity’s carrying amounts, not at fair value, because such transactions do not involve a substantive change in ownership and do not require a step up in basis. As a result, we recorded Rimon’s assets at their carrying values and treated them as a capital contribution from Mr. Shalom.

Securities Purchase Agreement with T3 Defense

On December 15, 2024, Star entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and Call Option, as amended on each of February 11, 2025, May 13, 2025 and June 15, 2025 (collectively, the “Nukkleus Agreement”) with T3 Defense (formerly known as Nukkleus Inc.), Star’s equity holders and Mr. Shalom, acting in his capacity as the representative of the Star holders, to sell to T3 Defense a controlling 51% interest in Star in exchange for an aggregate investment of (i) $21,000,000 that consists of $5,000,000 in cash, (ii) a promissory note in the principal amount of $16,000,000 less amounts previously borrowed from T3 Defense and (iii) shares and warrants in T3 Defense. Our equity holders granted T3 Defense an option (the “Option”) to purchase the balance of their equity in Star (49.0%) for an aggregate $16,084,250 (the “Option Exercise Price”) in consideration for the issuance to them of five-year stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of 720,000 shares of Star’s common stock with an exercise price of $1.50 per share.

If, for a period of 12 months after the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Nukkleus Agreement, the shares of T3 Defense are delisted from Nasdaq, Star shall have the right, at its own discretion, to require T3 Defense to exchange the note for all the shares of Star then held by T3 Defense , the option shall be automatically cancelled and we shall retain any cash payments made by T3 Defense . In such instance, T3 Defense shall retain an equity interest in Star equivalent to all cash payments. The closing of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, third-party consents, fairness opinion, and approval by the shareholders of T3 Defense as required under applicable Nasdaq listing rules.

If the Nukkleus Agreement is canceled because stockholder approval was not obtained within 90-days after the date of the Agreement and the failure was a result of T3 Defense failing to perform or observe its covenants or agreements provided for in the Agreement, Star is entitled to damages of $1,800,000 from T3 Defense .

Revenue

Rimon’s revenue for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $4,994,000 and $3,797,000, respectively, an increase of $1,197,000, or 31.52%. Revenues increased as a result of growing demand for the products of Rimon, particularly as a result of the situation in Israel and the general geopolitical trends.

Cost of revenue

Rimon’s cost of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $3,808,000 and $2,648,000, respectively, an increase of $1,160,000. Cost of revenue increased in line with our increase in revenue.

Gross profit and Gross margin

Gross profit for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $1,186,000 and $1,149,000, respectively, and its gross margin for the respective year ends were 23.75% and 30.26%, respectively.

General and Administrative expenses.

General and administrative expenses increased from $547,000 in 2023 to $1,687,000 in 2024. This overall increase masks a shift in the composition of the following expenses:

Salaries and related expenses increase from $289,000 in 2023 to $467,000 in 2024.

Rent expenses increase from $39,000 to 60,000 due to municipality tax benefits received; and

Professional fees increased from $88,000 in 2023 to $712,000 in 2024, due to higher professional service fees related to compliance and consulting in Rimon and professional service fees related to compliance and consulting in the Company. The fees are directed related to the proposed transaction between the Company and Star, which directly results in increased compliance and consulting and professional service fees incurred by Rimon.

Amortization of intangible assets in 2024 was $196,000.

Income Tax

Our income tax expense decreases from $129,000 in 2023 to income tax of $34,000 in 2024 As of December 31, 2024, Rimon and subsidiary have carried forward losses for tax purposes of approximately $430,000 and $660,000 thousands, respectively.

Net Income

Net income decreased significantly, from net income of $407,000 in 2023 to net loss of $555,000 in 2024.

Revenue

Our revenue increased by 41%, from $2,698,000 in 2022 to $3,797,000 in 2023. This growth was driven primarily by increased demand for masts, which accounted for approximately 62% of the revenue growth. Additionally, our generators saw a 38% rise in sales due to increased demand in the Israeli market attributed to the war in Israel.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue rose by 30%, from $2,041,000 in 2022 to $2,648,000 in 2023. This increase correlates with higher sales volumes, particularly in masts, which carries higher production and delivery costs. Notably, the cost of raw materials increased by 30%, contributing to the rise in our cost structure.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit improved from $657,000 in 2022 to $1,149,000 in 2023, reflecting a 75% increase. Our gross margin also rose from 24.4% to 30.3%, primarily due to a favorable shift in our product mix towards higher-margin masts and improved operational efficiencies.

General and Administrative expenses.

General and administrative expenses increased from $518,000 in 2022 to $574,000 in 2023, a rise of approximately 10.8%. This overall increase masks a shift in the composition of the following expenses:

●

Salaries and related expenses decreased from $340,000 in 2022 to $289,000 in 2023, reflecting the impact of workforce optimization initiatives;

●

Rent expenses decreased from $42,000 to 39,000 due to municipality tax benefits received; and

●

Professional fees increased from $11,000 in 2022 to $88,000 in 2023, due to higher professional service fees related to compliance and consulting, which accounted for $77,000 of the increase, and a $3,000 rise in consulting and marketing costs.

Income Tax

Our income tax expense increased to $129,000 in 2023, up from $43,000 in 2022, driven by higher taxable income. Our effective tax rate remained consistent at approximately 23%. Despite this, we carried forward tax losses of $635,000 as of December 31, 2023, which will reduce taxable income in future periods.

Net Income

Net income increased substantially, from $200,000 in 2022 to $443,000 in 2023. This improvement was the result of higher revenue and gross margin, partially offset by increased administrative expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On June 30, 2025, Star had $423,000 in cash and cash equivalents.

Rimon’s capital resources are lines of credit extended to it by banks and its vendors. In addition, and based on short term needs, the founder is willing to provide Rimon with working capital advances to cover short term financial needs.

Plan of Operations

Rimon can maintain its current operations, both in the short term over the next 12 months and in the long term, with no additional funding by relying on lines of credit provided by its vendors, banks, and its self-generating cashflow. The minimum funding required for Star’s to remain in business for at least the next 12 months is $1.2 million. That amount would be used primarily to buy raw materials to be used for inventory and for working capital. Further, Star will be able to continue to conduct its planned operations for an additional eight months through February 2026 using currently available capital resources.

Off Balance-sheet Arrangements

Star has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies

The following discussion relates to critical accounting policies for our company. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements:

Income taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” by recognizing the current year’s tax payable and deferred tax assets or liabilities for the future impact of events already reflected in Star’s financial statements or tax returns.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from temporary differences between financial reporting and tax reporting bases. They are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws expected to apply when these amounts reverse or are utilized. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized. For uncertain tax positions, Star uses a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold and measures the potential outcomes based on the amounts and probabilities of resolution with taxing authorities.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenues upon delivery of our finished products to customers. Delays or failure to make deliveries prevent us from recognizing revenue. To produce and deliver our products, we rely on purchasing and obtaining physical parts and goods from suppliers worldwide. Delays in manufacturing or shipments can significantly impact our production capabilities, and therefore, the number and value of products we can deliver to customers. Additionally, Global events like Covid-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war have disrupted supply chains, affecting our operations and revenues.

Revenue recognition in any accounting period involves significant management judgments and estimates. If these judgments or estimates are incorrect, or if they change due to evolving business or market conditions, it may result in material differences in the amount of revenue recognized during a given period. We recognize revenues in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, which provides a unified model to determine how revenue is recognized.

Pursuant to ASC 606, we recognize revenue when control of promised goods or services is transferred to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange. We determine revenue recognition through the following steps: (1) identifying the contract with a customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations within the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (5) recognizing revenue when, or as, we fulfill a performance obligation.

As of the date of this report, we generate two main types of revenue:

	●	Revenue from selling imported goods, such as generators, masts, and lighting.

	●	Revenue from integration projects, where we design, engineer, source raw materials, assemble, and complete tactical vehicles and trailers.

Leases

We determine whether an arrangement is or contains a lease at the contract inception and include operating leases in operating lease right-of-use assets, other current liabilities, and operating lease liabilities on our balance sheets.

Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for a given lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments. We recognize operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities at the commencement date, based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Since our leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, we generally use the incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated interest rate for collateralized borrowing over a similar term on our lease commencement dates. The operating lease right-of-use asset includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may also include options to extend or terminate the lease when we are reasonably certain to exercise that option. We recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

We monitor for events or changes in circumstances that require us to reassess our leases. If a reassessment leads to the remeasurement of a lease liability, we make a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the related right-of-use asset, unless this would reduce the right-of-use asset’s carrying amount below zero. In such a case, we record the amount that would result in a negative ROU asset balance in the statement of comprehensive loss.

Key Financial Terms and Metrics

The following discussion summarizes the key factors our management believes are necessary for an understanding of our financial statements:

	●	Research and Development Expense. The process of researching and developing our product candidates may be lengthy, unpredictable, and subject to many risks. We are unable, with any certainty, to estimate either the costs or the timelines in which those expenses will be incurred. Our research and development costs may include internal recurring costs, such as personnel-related costs (salaries, employee benefits, equity compensation and other costs), materials and supplies, facilities and maintenance costs attributable to research and development functions.

BUSINESS

Company Overview

Currently, the Company, through its US-based subsidiary, is engaged in the distribution of drones’ payloads in the defense and homeland security markets within the US. In addition, through its Israeli subsidiary, we are engaged in providing services to support civil and defense aviation needs, including MRO services, aircraft modernization, resale, and leasing, which includes the deployment of the de-icing technology for commercial aircrafts.

Previously we were a financial technology company that was focused on providing software, technology solutions, customer sales and marketing, and risk management technology hardware and software solutions packages for the worldwide retail FX trading industry and payment services from one fiat currency to another or to digital assets.

On January 12, 2026, we closed our acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Star 26 pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, by and among the Company, Star 26, the shareholders of Star 26, and Menachem Shalom, as representative of the shareholders of Star 26. As a result of the Acquisition, Star 26 became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The transaction was approved by the stockholders of the Company on December 16, 2025 and confirmed by Nasdaq on January 9, 2026. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the aggregate consideration paid by the Company consisted of: (i) $16,000,000, which was paid to Star 26 by the issuance by the Company of the Investment Note; (ii) $500,000 in cash, representing $5,000,000 less $4,500,000 previously borrowed by Star 26 from the Company; (iii) 4,770,340 Common Shares; (iv) the Warrant to purchase 12,017,648 Warrant Shares at an exercise price of $1.50 per share, exercisable for a period of five years from the Closing Date; (v) the Six-Month Note in the principal amount of $3,000,000, which accrues interest at the rate of 8% per annum and matures on July 12, 2026; and (vi) the Three-Month Note in the principal amount of $3,000,000 (the “Three-Month Note”), which matures on April 12, 2026. The Common Shares, the Warrant, the Six-Month Note and the Three-Month Note were subsequently assigned by Star 26 to the Selling Stockholders, pro ratably based on their equity ownership in Star 26. In connection with the Acquisition, the Company cancelled certain promissory notes previously issued by Star 26 to the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $4,500,000. The cancellation of said indebtedness was applied as a credit against the cash consideration otherwise payable to Star 26 at the closing of the Acquisition. The cash portion of the purchase price payable at closing was funded from the Company’s available cash on hand.

Background

The Merger closed on December 22, 2023. In connection with the Merger, Brilliant changed its name to “Nukkleus Inc.”

Effective February 9, 2026, the Company changed its name to “T3 Defense Inc.”

Historically, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, provided software and technology solutions for the worldwide retail foreign exchange trading industry. The Company’s primary customer was TCM (formerly known as FXDD Malta Limited). Emil Assentato, the former CEO and a former director of the Company, is also the majority member of Max Q, which is managed by DMA. Mr. Assentato is the sole owner and manager of DMA. Max Q owns 79% of Currency Mountain Malta LLC, which in turn is the sole shareholder of TCM. In order to define the services rendered to TCM, Nukkleus Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a General Services Agreement with TCM in May 2016. The GSA provided that TCM would pay Nukkleus Limited a minimum of $1,600,000 per month. On September 30, 2024, the Company, TCM and FXDD entered into a Release Agreement pursuant to which the parties confirmed that the GSA between the Company and TCM and the FXDD GSA between the Company and FDDD were terminated effective January 1, 2024. The parties further confirmed that there were no obligations or liabilities outstanding or owed between the parties as of September 30, 2024 and each party released and forever discharged the other party from any and all claims, demands, damages, actions, causes of action, or suits of any kind or nature whatsoever, both known and unknown, which have arisen or may arise from the GSA or the FXDD GSA.

The Company has historically operated its blockchain payment solutions through DRFQ, a wholly owned subsidiary of Match”, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. On November 8, 2024, the Company entered into the Settlement Agreement with Jamal Khurshid and Match providing that Match agreed to sell DRFQ to Mr. Khurshid or his nominee subject to the Company obtaining shareholder approval. As required by the Settlement Agreement, the Company, Match and Mr. Khurshid entered into a Share Purchase Agreement dated December 27, 2024 providing that the Company, subject to it obtaining shareholder approval, will sell DRFQ to Mr. Khurshid in consideration of £1,000. The Company believes the sale of DRFQ was in the best interest of the Company due to continuing net loss generated by DRFQ and the Company’s desire to focus on the defense sector.

As of August 2025, the Company determined that it no longer had a controlling financial interest in Digital RFQ due to loss of access to financial records. Accordingly, the Company deconsolidated DRFQ during the third quarter of fiscal year 2025. The Company was notified that on July 29, 2025, Match was placed into administration in the United Kingdom pursuant to the Insolvency Act 1986 resulting in the appointment of two Administrators. The Administrators completed a pre-packaged sale of Match’s entire shareholding in DRFQ to Match Financial Holdings Limited, a newly formed entity owned by Mr. Khurshid, for nominal consideration of £102,000.

September 2025 Private Placement

On September 4, 2025, we entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which the investors agreed to purchase from the Company 200 units for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000,000, or a per unit price of $50,000, with each unit consisting of (i) one restricted share of Series A Preferred Stock and (ii) restricted Common Warrants to initially purchase up to 15,957 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment and exchange as described herein. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock has a Stated Value of $50,000 and is convertible into a number of shares of Common Stock (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof) equal to the Stated Value divided by the Initial Conversion Price. Upon the Company obtaining stockholder approval of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement and the related agreements at the Special Meeting, the Initial Conversion Price was adjusted from $4.89 per share to the lower of (i) $4.72 per share and (ii) the price per share upon the earlier of (A) effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part or (B) upon applicability of Rule 144 as it relates to the sale of the Conversion Shares.

Assuming an Initial Conversion Price of $4.72 per share, each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into 10,593 shares of Common Stock (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof).

The Common Warrants are immediately exercisable on a cash basis or exchangeable on a cashless basis and will expire five (5) years from the date of issuance. Each Common Warrant will be initially exercisable for one share of Common Stock at an Initial Exercise Price of $5.405 per share, subject to adjustment. The September 2025 Private Placement closed on September 9, 2025.

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company was required to seek stockholder approval related to certain provisions contained in the Certificate of Designation of the Series A Preferred Stock. On December 16, 2025, the Company such stockholder approval.

The Company has also granted the investors a right of participation in subsequent financings of the Company for a period of time following closing, subject to certain exempt issuances, and the Company has agreed not to issue securities for a period of time following the closing of the September 2025 Private Placement, subject to certain exempt issuances, including issuances pursuant to strategic transactions.

In connection with the September 2025 Private Placement, the Company and the Purchasers entered into the Registration Rights Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is required to register the resale of the Conversion Shares (and any shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants, if any) and the Warrant Shares. The Company is required to prepare and file the Initial Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 30 days of the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Initial Registration Statement declared effective within 45 days of the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement or 75 days in the event of a full review. In certain circumstances including, but not limited to, if the Company misses the Filing Deadline or the Effectiveness Deadline, then the Company will be required to pay to the Purchasers an amount in shares of Common Stock or cash, at the Company’s discretion, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of 1.5% multiplied by the aggregate purchase price paid by such Purchaser. Liquidated damages, if any, will accrue and be paid on the earlier of the effective date of a resale registration statement registering the sale of the shares of Common Stock that may be issued in lieu of cash or the date on which such shares can be sold pursuant to Rule 144. If the Company elects to pay liquidated damages in shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Purchaser will be determined by dividing the aggregate amount of accrued liquidated damages by the closing price of the Common Stock on the trading market of the Common Stock on the day immediately prior to the Registration Date.

In connection with the September 2025 Private Placement, the Company entered into a Placement Agency Agreement, dated September 4, 2025, with DJS, pursuant to which DJS acted as the sole placement agent for the September 2025 Private Placement.

Star Business Overview

Star is an acquisition holding company focused on locating undervalued and undercapitalized companies, primarily in the defense, industrial machinery and application, manufacturing, transportation, information technology, and aerospace industries, and providing them capital and leadership to maximize their value and the potential of their private enterprises while also promoting diversification and risk mitigation for our stockholders. Our acquisition strategy focuses on small and medium businesses, which we characterize as those that have an enterprise value of less than $200 million, in a variety of different industries, with a preference for multinational businesses. To date, we have completed several acquisitions of defense technology companies. This strategy is untested, as Star has completed only one acquisition to date: the acquisition of a 100% interest in Rimon, a defense technology company, which was owned by Menachem Shalom, Star’s controlling stockholder and our Chief Executive Officer.

Star’s Corporate History and Structure

Star was incorporated by its founder, Menachem Shalom, on January 17, 2024, as Star 26 Capital Inc., a Nevada corporation. Mr. Shalom owns all of the 6,250,000 shares of its class B common stock which are issued and outstanding. Although the class B common stock was established to have 100 votes per share of class B common stock, Mr. Shalom converted all his Class B shares to Class A shares, of which he owns approximately 55% of the total issued and outstanding share capital of Star.

Zero One Capital LLC, Star’s Manager, is a New York limited liability company formed by Mr. Shalom on January 19, 2024, as a management services company. Zero One became the manager of Star upon the execution of a management services agreement by and between the same on June 28, 2024. The Manager is also the manager of Rimon, Star’s indirect wholly owned subsidiary operating in the defense industry, pursuant to the offsetting management services agreement dated August 12, 2024, by and between Zero One, Rimon, and Star as a third-party beneficiary.

Billio Inc., Star’s wholly owned subsidiary, is a Delaware corporation formed by Mr. Shalom on February 12, 2021, to act as an intermediate holding company for Rimon.

Star’s Acquisition of Rimon

On February 15, 2024, Star executed an assignment and assumption agreement with Mr. Shalom, pursuant to which Star, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Billio, acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Rimon. Under the terms of that agreement, Star agreed to assume all of Mr. Shalom’s rights and obligations toward the sellers of Rimon, as outlined in earlier agreements by and between the same, dated December 22, 2023, and February 15, 2024. Additionally, Star agreed to reimburse Mr. Shalom for his out-of-pocket costs related to the acquisition of Rimon, and for operating loans which he made to Rimon thereafter. To do so, Star issued him a demand grid promissory note with an initial principal of $155,405, which increased to $511,263 by December 31, 2024, with the initial principal being advanced to cover Mr. Shalom’s out-of-pocket costs, and the increase therein related to the advance for operations. The grid note bears interest at 8% per annum and matures 60 days after the earlier of one year from the issuance date or upon the closing of a private placement or public offering of at least $5,000,000. On February 15, 2025, the parties agreed to extend the term of the Note and change its maturity date to February 15, 2026. As of the date of approval of the financial statements, this loan has been repaid in full.

B. Rimon Agencies Ltd., Star’s Israeli Defense Business

Star’s defense military technology business is operated by B. Rimon Agencies Ltd., an Israeli limited liability company and our indirect, wholly owned operating subsidiary that it acquired on February 15, 2024.

Rimon is an Israeli corporation engaged as a supplier of generators for “iron dome” launchers and other defense products which business includes the purchase and sale of generators, masts, and lightning products and solutions, which it acquires through exclusive distributorship agreements with key third-party suppliers and the engineering, design, production and integration of special tactical vehicles and trailers, including reconnaissance vehicles, mobile command and control vehicles, firefighting trailers, energy and lighting trailers, and satellite broadcast mobility platforms which are primarily sold to special defense forces, intelligence agencies and the Israeli Defense Forces. Most of these products are sold to defense, security, and military clients in Israel, including Rafeal, the manufacturer of anti-rocket systems like Iron Dome, Israel Aviation Industries and Elbit Systems, two major Israeli defense companies with global reach, the Israeli Ministry of Defense, the Israeli Police, and other security-related entities

The Defense Industry

The primary geographic market focus as of the date hereof is Israel where the majority of its customers are located and operate. Star believes that Israel is a heavyweight in the global defense market, primarily due to its advanced military industries, with the country specifically accounting for 2.3% of global military exports (Observer Research Foundation, the strategic and military-technological significance of Israel). Israel was the 10^th largest defense exporter from 2018 to 2022, with the U.S. and United Kingdom being among those customers that implemented Israeli defense systems such as the ‘Trophy’ Active Protection system, which creates a neutralization bubble around military vehicles and rapidly detects, classifies and engages all known chemical energy (CE) threats including recoilless rifles, ATGMs, AT rockets, HEAT tank rounds, and RPGs. Israel has a strong missile defense system and is one of few countries with successful experience in a multi-tiered missile defense system. There have also been multiple sales between Israel and national providers of defense technologies. For example, the U.S. approved the sale of David’s Sling, a complete air defense system designed to defeat the full spectrum of long range air and missile threats, by Israel and the private company Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd., manufacturer of the David’s sling system, to Finland on August 2, 2023, a project that was valued at more than 300 million euros, marking a key development in Israel’s medium-tier missile defense offerings.

Further, the market size for the defense industry was approximately $76.1 billion in the U.S. in 2022 and is estimated to grow to $184.7 billion by 2027. Further, it is estimated that the compound annual growth rate for the defense technology market will be approximately 15.9% from 2022 to 2027 (PitchBook, Emerging Tech Research). It has also been estimated that approximately $135.3 billion was invested in the defense industry from 2016 to 2022. While we do not currently have any United States operations or customers, and do not have any current plans to enter the United States defense industry, we may and intend to do so in the future via directed sales and marketing efforts, or via the acquisition of complimentary United States defense industry businesses.

Water

On June 8, 2025, Star Twenty Six Ltd. (“Star Twenty Six”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Star, entered into an agreement with Water IO Ltd., a company listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“Water”) and its controlling shareholders, pursuant to which Star will lend Water NIS 600,000 (14% annual interest, 2-year term) which will be used to pay Water’s payables. Water will record a first-ranking floating charge on all company assets and a first-ranking fixed charge on unissued share capital (36.5M shares). Water is required to hold a shareholders’ meeting in which the shareholders will be requested to approve the transaction, approve Star’s nominees to be serve as Water directors and a reverse split of the company’s shares. Subject to obtaining shareholders’ approval and other closing conditions, Star will further lend Water NIS 700,000 and shall also invest NIS 700,000 as an equity investment. In return for Star fulfilling its obligations, Water will issue Star 72% of Water’s fully diluted share capital. The closing of the transaction is contingent on several conditions, including Star being satisfied with its due diligence of Water, Shareholder and TASE approvals and the registration of the shares to be issued to Star. After the closing of the transaction, Star commits to introducing new business activity into Water worth at least NIS 40M. The legacy business of Water will be transferred to a trustee for liquidation and any proceeds from the Sealed Air litigation in the U.S. will be allocated: 35% to Water and 65% to pre-deal shareholders (pro rata). The litigation will be handled via a trust structure to be approved by shareholders, with the legal costs for Sealed Air case capped at $10,000. If deal is terminated due to Water’s fault or failed due diligence then the first loan increases to NIS 2.1M with 18% annual interest and Star may convert loan to shares (up to 19.9%) at NIS 0.30/share. If terminated for other reasons (e.g., failed shareholder approval) Star can choose repayment or partial share conversion. Water’s assets, revenue and financial activity is not material (less than 20%) of Star’s current assets and revenues.

I.T.S. Industrial Technologic Solutions Ltd.

On June 8, 2025, Star Twenty Six entered into an agreement with I.T.S. Industrial Techno-logic Solutions Ltd. (“ITS”) and its controlling shareholder Gera Eron (“Eron”), pursuant to which Star will lend ITS NIS 10,000,000. In return Star would get 51% of the share capital of ITS on a fully diluted basis. ITS is an Israeli company providing design, development, production, and manufacturing of serial, fully integrated electro-mechanical machines and sophisticated assembly lines. Positech, its wholly-owned subsidiary, designs and manufactures top-of-the-line, high-performance motion control systems for military and civilian use. Positech provides small to middle-series one-stop shop “Build to Spec” & “Build to print” custom-made prototypes and OEM systems in the Mechanical, Electrical, HW, FW, and SW Engineering fields. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Star was also granted an option to purchase the remainder 49% of ITS for three years from Eron, the controlling shareholder. Depending on whether the option is exercised in the first, second or third year hereafter, the agreed purchase price for the 49% is 25 million NIS, 30 million NIS or 35 million NIS, respectively. Star was provided 30 days to complete its due diligence in connection with the acquisition of ITS. Moreover, pursuant to the terms of the agreement, ITS has until July 7, 2025 to obtain the consent of its current banks to the agreement. If such confirmation is not received, Star would lend ITS ILS 2,500,000, with subsequent loans to be made in 30-day intervals thereafter. Subject to the completion of Star’s due diligence and to ITS banks’ consent, Star would provide the said loan and, in return, ITS shall issue Star shares equal to 51% of ITS. If the banks do not provide consent to the agreement by July 7^th, then the loan is due 12 months after the funds are paid to ITS and no shares shall be issued to the Lender. In such case no further loans are due to ITS.

Star’s Market Opportunity and Growth Strategy

Star believes there is a significant opportunity for organic growth via the acquisition of small and medium size businesses with an enterprise value of less than $200 million (based on the opinion of our management team and advisory board), that may be operating in highly fragmented markets throughout the world, including the U.S. and Israel, which are owned and operated by persons within isolated networks of family offices, entrepreneurs, and intermediaries, each of which with the potential to generate attractive returns for our stockholders and investors. Star’s core operational principles focus on managing our acquired enterprises to ensure recurring cash flow and lasting terminal value, while fostering long-term sustainability in our investments. To do so, Star aims to invest in and/or buy controlling stakes in operating, revenue-generating businesses. Controlling stakes would allow us to lead the companies into operational efficiencies, growth in revenues, improved financial reporting and operational procedures, hire talented employees and managers and increase the overall enterprise value of these companies. Star’s search for future acquisition targets focuses on companies located in the U.S. or Israel, or both, that provide products and or services to large defense and aerospace companies and or governments. Notwithstanding the forgoing, we may target and acquire companies for acquisition that are located outside the U.S. and Israel if such acquisitions fit within our overall acquisition philosophy and strategy.

Star also believe that the economic and market dislocations resulting from the conflict in Israel, as well as other conflicts worldwide, provide an opportunity for companies in the defense industry to see higher-than-average demand for their products and services. Such market conditions, if they persist, would allow us to focus on acquiring profitable businesses in the defense sector, with the opportunity to take advantage of their potential future growth. Within the Israeli defense market in particular, Star expects to see a significant number of businesses struggling to satisfy growing demand for their products and services due to a lack of access to capital and experienced executive level leadership among other factors. Star believes it will be able to provide these needed resources to any Israeli target company that it acquires. It is confident that the expertise of our management team and the relationships that they can bring to an acquisition represent a compelling value proposition for any potential acquisition target looking to add working capital, a pathway to exit, and a solid leadership base, to assist such a company to grow and expand and to be able to take advantage of market opportunities as they arise.

Star’s Acquisition Process and Strategy

Star’s current acquisition strategy involves the acquisition of small and medium size businesses in various industries, with an initial focus on industries associated with the defense sector, including but not limited to industrial machinery and application, manufacturing, transportation, information technology, and aerospace, that we expect will produce positive, stable earnings, and provide attractive returns on our invested capital. As part of its evaluation of whether it will acquire a particular business, it will perform a comprehensive due diligence review to determine the quality and intrinsic value of the targeted company. Star will also seek to identify operational inefficiencies which it would expect to resolve, post-closing, by implementing streamlined processes, optimizing resource allocation, and leveraging innovative solutions with the objective of enhancing overall productivity and effectiveness of such companies. Its due diligence typically includes an analysis of the target Company’s financial statements, detailed document reviews, meetings with current management, consultations with relevant industry experts, competitors, suppliers, and customers, and any other information gathering that we deem appropriate in conducting a comprehensive analysis.

Star believes that the defense sector is poised to experience significant growth in the next few years due to the increasing number of violent conflicts in the world, which may cause an increase in direct demand for defense solutions from conflict participants and their allies. Star also anticipate seeing indirect, additional defense industry growth for, as we have observed, countries not involved in or participating in conflicts tend to increase their defense budgets and spending in anticipation of additional future conflicts in which they may become involved. It is Star’s belief that acquiring companies in the defense sector will help us establish a unique marketing network and build expertise in the greater defense sector, thus enabling us to cross-sell products to our large customers and facilitate higher success rates in our sales efforts.

According to Star’s industry specific market research and analysis, and the network and knowledge of its management team, it is Star’s expectation that attractive opportunities are likely to emerge as private sector owners aim to grow their businesses through scaling or by forming outside partnerships to add value. Star’s value-add proposition involves partnering with exceptional entrepreneurs, acquiring their companies, and guiding them by providing the funding and resources they will need to become global enterprises. Star believes that through this approach Star will be more likely to identify and attract potential and appropriate targets for acquisition. Star also believe that the greatest opportunities for consistent annual returns and residual returns on capital from its acquisitions lie in targeting businesses in niche geographical markets with a competitive edge in the defense, government, and military sectors, especially in the U.S. and Israel. While Star expects its management team will be most effective working with the types of businesses described above, Star will also consider acquiring businesses outside of these industries and sectors as long as any such businesses are congruent with our acquisition strategy.

Pursuant to the acquisition strategy, Star will seek to structure its transactions such that each of the businesses it acquires will become its wholly owned or controlled subsidiary. However, Star may also close acquisitions that result in its ownership of an entity being less than 100%, to meet certain objectives of the target management team or their then-existing stockholders, or for other strategic reasons; provided that Star will always acquire more than 50% of the outstanding voting control of any target, or otherwise obtain a controlling interest in such target.

Star intends to finance acquisitions primarily through the public or private sale of our equity and debt securities. While the success of this financing strategy cannot be guaranteed, the ability to finance future acquisitions through its general capital resources, rather than through acquisition-specific financing, will allow Star to minimize delays and closing conditions, thereby enhancing its ability to acquire attractive businesses. Because the timing and size of future acquisitions cannot be readily predicted, we may need access to funding on short notice to be able to benefit fully from attractive acquisition opportunities.

As part of the acquisition strategy, Star will seek to evaluate each potential target’s management team and operational and financial strengths and weaknesses. It will review and compare identified targets to comparable businesses and conduct in-depth research on each potential target’s industry to enhance our assessment of their financial and operational performance and their growth and success potential. Star will thoroughly negotiate appropriate terms and conditions of any acquisition of a target company that satisfies its acquisition criteria. Some of the future acquisition targets may be financially unstable or in the early stages of development or growth. Even if pre-existing conditions do not negatively impact its decision to acquire a target company, such target may also be subject to numerous other risks inherent in its business and industry, as well as the risks faced by generally by capital markets participants. Although its management team will endeavor to comprehensively evaluate the risks associated with any particular acquisition target, Star cannot assure you that it will properly ascertain, assess, or protect against all significant risk factors.

Valuation and Due Diligence

Star will perform rigorous business operations and financial evaluations of any target businesses (or assets) that it may acquire. During such due diligence, Star intends to evaluate the financial aspects of its acquisition targets using the following metrics:

●

discounted cash flow analysis;

●

evaluation of trading values of comparable public companies;

●

expected value matrices;

●

assessment of competitor, supplier, and customer environments; and

●

review and examination of recent/precedent transactions.

Star expects its target review process will yield two outcomes, (1) an accurate projection of expected cash flows, and (2) an understanding of the types and levels of risk associated with those projections. While future performance and projections are always uncertain, Star believes that its detailed target company review process will enable us to effectively evaluate the prospects and upside of any given acquisition opportunity. Additionally, to assist Star in identifying material risks and validating key assumptions in our financial and operational analysis, Star will engage third-party experts to review key risk areas, including legal, tax, regulatory, accounting, insurance and environmental. Star may also engage technical, operational or industry consultants, as necessary.

Star also engages in an extensive evaluation of each target’s existing management team, including a focus on recent performance, expertise, experience, culture, and performance incentives. Where necessary, and consistent with our management strategy, following the acquisition of a target company, we will actively seek to augment, supplement, or replace existing members of target company management who we believe are not likely to properly execute our business plan for the target. Star also analyzes and evaluates the operational and financial systems of each target business and, when necessary, post-acquisition, we will actively seek to enhance and improve those existing systems that are deemed to be inadequate or insufficient to support our business plan for the target business.

Financing

Star expect to finance acquisitions primarily through additional equity and debt offerings. Although Star cannot guarantee that it will be successful with this strategy, Star believes that having the ability to finance particular future acquisitions with the general capital resources raised by the company will provide us with an advantage in acquiring attractive businesses by minimizing delay and closing conditions that are often related to acquisition-specific financings. In this respect, Star believes that, in the future, it will need to pursue access to additional capital via debt or equity offerings to successfully fund and execute our business and acquisition strategy.

Competition

In identifying, evaluating, and selecting potential target businesses for its acquisition strategy, Star may encounter intense competition from other entities that have business objectives similar to Star, including blank check companies such as SPACs, leveraged buyout funds, operating businesses seeking strategic acquisitions, and private equity groups. Many of these entities are well-established and well-financed and may have greater experience identifying and effecting acquisitions directly or indirectly. These competitors may possess greater financial, technical, human, and other resources than we do. Star’s ability to acquire larger target businesses in our target sectors will be limited by its available financial resources. Star’s inherent financial limitations may provide others with an advantage to pursue the acquisition of one or more of its identified target businesses. Any of these factors may place Star at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating acquisitions.

Competitive Advantages

Star believe that its Manager’s collective investment experience and approach to executing its investment strategy will enable it to have several competitive advantages. Star’s competitive strengths that differentiate Star from other acquisition holding companies include:

●

Specialization in the Military and Defense sector. Star believes that its focus on the military and defense sectors will enable it to be competitive. This industry may be undergoing a significant transformation as government acquisition processes and new policy incentives align to prioritize national security objectives and promote the adoption of new commercial technologies for military use. In addition, the combination of governments of multiple countries having a need for new, advanced technologies to combat modern threats, along with changing warfare tactics, is driving this specific demand. We believe we are uniquely positioned to enter and succeed as an acquisition holding company in this industry.

●

International and Sector-Specific Expertise. Mr. Shalom, the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Star, has operated businesses internationally, including in Israel. His extensive international experience and knowledge of Israeli business operations, along with a broad network of contacts, provide us with a competitive advantage. This network can assist Star in identifying new acquisition targets, finding suitable managers, and securing international capital. Additionally, its directors and executive officers bring executive, investment, and operational experience in managing and growing small and middle-market companies in the defense sector. Star believes this combined expertise gives it a significant edge in evaluating future business and acquisition opportunities.

●

Value Proposition for Business Owners. Star employs a creative, flexible approach by tailoring each acquisition structure to meet the specific liquidity needs and certain qualitative objectives of a target’s owners and management team. Star is open to providing a complete exit strategy to its sellers or providing opportunities to retain incumbent management. In this effort, Star believes that its company is an appealing buyer for small business owners and managers. As a result, Star believes business owners and managers will find it to be a dynamic, value-added buyer that brings resources to achieve their strategic, capital and operating needs, resulting in value creation for the operating subsidiary.

Human Capital

Star has one full-time employee. As indicated below, Star’s operating subsidiary Rimon employs 14 people: three technicians, two engineers, two assembly workers, three sales employees, one customer support employee, one financial bookkeeper, and two management employees. None of its employees or any of its employees are represented by labor unions, and believes that it have an excellent relationship with such employees.

Sales and Marketing

Star markets its generators, masts, lightning and utility vehicles through our websites and by working with our internal sales team that offers relevant off-the-shelf or tailor-made solutions based on specific client needs and requests. In the future, Star intends to utilize numerous avenues to promote its business, including digital marketing across social media channels, Web3 reservation systems, and various modes of advertisements.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, Star and its subsidiaries may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are not currently aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

Government Regulation

The following is a list of government regulations which may apply to Star now or in the future as it continues to carry out its business:

●

Approval of U.S. and Other Defense Acquisitions. Many countries, including Israel, require governmental approval of acquisitions of local defense companies or assets by foreign entities. Mergers and acquisitions of defense-related and other potentially sensitive businesses in the U.S. are subject to the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (FIRRMA). Under FIRRMA, its future acquisitions of defense-related and other potentially sensitive businesses in the U.S., if any, may require review, and in some cases approval, by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. (CFIUS). CFIUS has the authority to impose additional restrictions through National Security Agreements (NSA) as part of its review and approval of the acquisitions.

●

Procurement Regulations. Solicitations for procurement by governmental purchasing agencies in Israel, the U.S. and other countries are governed by laws, regulations and procedures such as those relating to procurement integrity, including due diligence, avoiding conflicts of interest and corruption, and meeting information assurance and cyber-security requirements. Such regulations also include provisions relating to the avoidance of human trafficking and counterfeit parts in the supply chain. In view of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, various countries and organizations have adopted specific sanctions and regulations to restrict, among other things, the use of certain goods and technologies originating from Russia. Similarly, the United Stated has adopted specific regulations to restrict, among other things, the procurement of goods or services from specific Chinese entities. Such regulations may apply to us as well as to our supply chain.

●

Anti-Bribery/Corruption Regulations. Star may conduct operations in a number of markets that are considered high risk from an anti-bribery/anti-corruption compliance perspective. Laws and regulations such as the Israel Penal Code, the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act and corresponding legislation in other countries, prohibit providing personal benefits or bribes to government officials in connection with the governmental procurement process. Israeli defense exporters are required to maintain and follow an anti-bribery/corruption compliance program.

●

Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Regulations. Certain data relating to employees, customers and supply chain that we may receive and maintain, now or in the future, directly or indirectly, is subject to data privacy regulations, including those of the European General Data Privacy Regulation and corresponding Israeli legislation. There has also been an increased focus on cybersecurity, as global privacy, cybersecurity and data protection-related laws and regulations are evolving, extensive, and complex. Star may also be required to comply with expanding and increasingly complex cybersecurity regulations and guidelines in the United States, Israel and elsewhere with respect to reporting adverse events and additional requirements for avoiding or responding to an adverse event.

●

Audit Regulations. In the future, the Israeli Ministry of Defense may audit the books and records of our Israeli defense contractor subsidiaries. Such books and records and other aspects of projects related to U.S. defense contracts, if any, will also be subject to audit by U.S. government audit agencies. Such audits review compliance with government contracting cost accounting and other applicable standards. If discrepancies are found this could result in a downward adjustment of the applicable contract’s price as well as potential penalties. Some other customers have similar rights under specific regulations or contract provisions.

●

Competition Laws. Competition laws and regulations in Israel, the U.S. and other countries often require governmental approvals for transactions that are considered to limit competition. Such transactions may include the formation of joint venture entities, cooperative agreements for specific programs or areas, as well as mergers and acquisitions.

●

Environmental, Health and Safety Regulations. Star may become subject to a variety of environmental, health and safety laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we have operations. This potentially includes regulations relating to air, water and ground contamination, hazardous waste disposal and other areas with a potential environmental, health or safety impact. Increased public concern may result in more international, U.S. federal, and/or regional requirements to reduce or mitigate the effects of climate change, such as regulating greenhouse gas emissions, policies mandating or promoting the use of renewable or zero-carbon energy and sustainability initiatives, and additional taxes on fuel and energy. Legislation or regulations may be enacted or promulgated in any jurisdiction in which we do business that impose more stringent restrictions and requirements than our current legal or regulatory obligations. In January 2023, the European Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) came into force, which requires in-scope companies, among other things, to make sustainability reports including certain mandatory disclosures and other voluntary disclosures on impacts, risks, and opportunities in relation to sustainability matters identified as material by the relevant entity. On March 6, 2024, new SEC rules on climate-related disclosure were adopted which may subject us to burdensome and potentially costly emissions and other data gathering and reporting requirements. We will continue to assess the potential impact of the CSRD and SEC rules on our business and subsidiaries, if any.

Director Independence

Nasdaq listing rules require that a majority of the board of directors of a company listed on Nasdaq be composed of “independent directors,” which is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship, which, in the opinion of the Company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our board of directors has determined that each of David Rokach, Tomer Nagar, Aviya Volodarsky and Reuven Yeganeh is an independent director under the Nasdaq listing rules and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. In making these determinations, the board of directors considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with the Company and will have with the combined company and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining independence, including the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock by each non-employee director, and the transactions involving them described in the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.”

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth certain information as of January 26, 2026 with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock, the sole outstanding class of our voting securities, by (i) any person or group owning more than 5% of each class of voting securities, (ii) each director, (iii) each named executive officer, and (iv) all executive officers and directors as a group. Except as otherwise indicated, each of the stockholders listed below has sole voting and investment power over the shares beneficially owned, based on 29,168,154 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of such date.

Beneficial ownership is determined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment power over securities. Except in cases where community property laws apply or as indicated in the footnotes to this table, we believe that each stockholder identified in the table possesses sole voting and investment power over all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by the stockholder.

Shares of common stock subject to options or warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the date of this report are considered outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding the options for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each Selling Stockholder of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on Nasdaq or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

●

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

●

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

●

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

●

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

●

privately negotiated transactions;

●

settlement of short sales;

●

in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;

●

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

●

a combination of any such methods of sale; or

●

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

General

The Company is authorized to issue 150,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001, and 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001.

The following description of our capital stock and certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws are summaries and are qualified by reference to our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws as currently in effect. Copies of the currently effective certificate of incorporation and bylaws were filed with the SEC as exhibits to our Transition Report on Form 10-KT for the transition period from September 30, 2024 to December 31, 2024, filed on May 8, 2025.

As of the date of this prospectus, the Company had 31,006,270 outstanding shares of Common Stock and 0 outstanding shares of preferred stock.

Common Stock

Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on matters on which our stockholders vote. There are no cumulative voting rights. Subject to any preferential dividend rights of any outstanding shares of preferred stock, holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends, if declared by the Board, out of funds that the Company may legally use to pay dividends. In the event of a liquidation or dissolution, holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in our assets once our debts and any liquidation preference owed to any then-outstanding preferred stockholders are paid. The Company’s current certificate of incorporation does not provide the Common Stock with any redemption, conversion or preemptive rights. All shares of Common Stock that are outstanding as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus will be fully-paid and non-assessable.

Preferred Stock

Our Board of Directors has the authority, without action by our stockholders, to designate and issue up to 15,000,000 shares, $0.0001 par value per share, of preferred stock in one or more series or classes and to designate the rights, preferences and privileges of each series or class, which may be greater than the rights of our Common Stock. The Board’s authority to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of our company, and could discourage such attempt.

Dividends

The Company has not paid any cash dividends on shares of its Common Stock to date. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition and will be within the discretion of the Board. It is the present intention of the Board to retain all earnings, if any, for use in the Company’s business operations and, accordingly, the Board does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future.

Anti-takeover provisions

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Provisions in our corporate charter and our bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control of us that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our Common Stock, thereby depressing the market price of our Common Stock. In addition, these provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our Board of Directors. Because our Board of Directors is responsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisions could in turn affect any attempt by our stockholders to replace current members of our management team. Among others, these provisions include the following.

●

The Board has the right to elect directors to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the Board or the resignation, death or removal of a director, which will prevent stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on the Board;

●

The Company’s certificate of incorporation prohibits cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates; and

●

The Board is able to issue, without stockholder approval, shares of undesignated preferred stock, which makes it possible for the Board to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to acquire the Company.

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law

The Company is subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or Section 203, which prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, with the following exceptions:

●

before such date, the Board approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

●

upon closing of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction began, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned by: (i) persons who are directors and also officers; and (ii) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

●

on or after such date, the business combination is approved by the Board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66²⁄₃% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

In general, Section 203 defines business combination to include the following:

●

any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;

●

any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of ten percent (10%) or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder;

●

subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;

●

any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock or any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or

●

the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loss, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits by or through the corporation.

In general, Section 203 defines an “interested stockholder” as an entity or person who, together with the person’s affiliates and associates, beneficially owns, or within three years prior to the time of determination of interested stockholder status did own, fifteen percent (15%) or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation.

Public Warrants

Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one whole share of our common stock at a price of $92.00 per share. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of common stock. This means that only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time by a warrant holder.

We will not be obligated to deliver any shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to our satisfying our obligations described below with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and we will not be obligated to issue shares of common stock upon exercise of a warrant unless common stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will we be required to net cash settle any warrant.

Listing

Our Common Stock and Public Warrants are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbols “DFNS” and “DFNSW”, respectively.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent for the Company is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 1 State St., 30th floor, New York, NY 10004, telephone: (212) 509-4000.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS

Effective as of January 14, 2026, the Company dismissed GreenGrowth CPAs as the independent registered public accounting firm engaged to audit the Company’s financial statements. GreenGrowth’s dismissal was approved by the Board as of such date.

Effective as of January 14, 2026, the Company engaged Somekh Chaikin, a member firm of KPMG International, as the Company’s independent external auditors for the year ending December 31, 2025. The appointment of Somekh Chaikin, which was approved by the stockholders of the Company at the Company’s annual meeting held on November 6, 2025, is subject to completion of Somekh Chaikin’s client acceptance procedures.

GreenGrowth had served as the Company’s independent auditors since November 2023. GreenGrowth’s reports on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024 and 2023, did not contain any adverse opinions or disclaimers of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that such reports included explanatory paragraphs with respect to the Company’s ability, in light of its recurring losses from operations and a working capital deficit, to continue as a going concern.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and through January 14, 2026, there were no (a) disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) with GreenGrowth on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to GreenGrowth’s satisfaction, would have caused GreenGrowth to make reference to the subject matter thereof in connection with its reports for such years; or (b) reportable events, as described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and through January 14, 2026, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with Somekh Chaikin regarding either (a) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report was provided nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Somekh Chaikin concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (b) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions thereto) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph 304(a)(1)(v)) of Regulation S-K).

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Other than as disclosed below, since the beginning of our last fiscal year, there have been no transactions, or proposed transactions, in which our company was or is to be a participant where the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our company’s total assets at year-end and in which any director, executive officer or beneficial holder of more than 5% of the outstanding common, or any of their respective relatives, spouses, associates or affiliates, has had or will have any direct or material indirect interest. We have no policy regarding entering into transactions with affiliated parties.

Star Agreement

As described above, on January 12, 2026, we closed our acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Star 26 pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, by and among the Company, Star 26, the shareholders of Star 26, and Menachem Shalom, as representative of the shareholders of Star 26. As a result of the Acquisition, Star 26 became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The transaction was approved by the stockholders of the Company on December 16, 2025 and confirmed by Nasdaq on January 9, 2026.
