NOTE 1 – GENERAL

 

A.T3 Defense Inc. (formerly known as Nukkleus Inc.) (the “Company” or “T3”) was formed on May 24, 2019 under the name Brilliant Acquisition Corporation. On June 23, 2023, Brilliant Acquisition Corporation, a British Virgin Islands company, 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. The Merger Agreement provided that, at the closing, among other things (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 Business Combination was completed on December 22, 2023. On the Closing Date, and in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, Brilliant changed its name to Nukkleus Inc. and the Company’s common stock began trading on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol NUKK.

 

Effective February 9, 2026, the Company changed its name to “T3 Defense Inc.” As a result of the name change, the new ticker symbol for the Company’s common stock is “DFNS” and trading continued under the new ticker symbol on The Nasdaq Global Market.

 

While Brilliant was the legal acquirer, Old Nukk was the accounting acquirer; therefore, the historical financial statements of Old Nukk became those of the Company. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements reflect: (i) Old Nukk’s historical results prior to the Business Combination; (ii) the combined results thereafter; (iii) Old Nukk’s assets and liabilities at their historical cost; and (iv) the Company’s equity structure for all periods presented.

  

The Company historically operated its blockchain payment solutions through Digital RFQ Limited (“DRFQ”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In January 2024, the Company ceased its general support service operations, terminating the existing customer and supplier contracts with a related party, and shifted its focus to the payment services operations. On December 27, 2024, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement to sell DRFQ for nominal consideration of £1,000, subject to shareholder approval. As of August 2025, the Company determined that it no longer had a controlling financial interest in Digital RFQ. Accordingly, the Company deconsolidated DRFQ during the third quarter of fiscal year 2025.

 

On December 30, 2025, the Company consummated the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Tiltan Software Engineering Ltd. (“Tiltan”) pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended, among the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary Nukk Picolo Ltd. (“Nukk Picolo”), Tiltan and Arie Shafir (the “Tiltan Seller”).

 

The Company approved a reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock (“Common Stock”), at a ratio of 1-for-125 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split was duly approved in a special meeting of the stockholders held on June 24, 2026. On July 16, 2026, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware the Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to effect the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split became effective as of 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on July 20, 2026, and the Company’s Common Stock began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market on a split-adjusted basis when the market opened on July 20, 2026.

 

All shares, stock option and per share information in these consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect the Reverse Stock Split on a retroactive basis.

B.SC II Acquisition Corp.

 

On October 16, 2025, a registration statement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding a proposed initial public offering (“IPO”) of units of SC II Acquisition Corp. (“SC II” or the “SPAC”), a newly formed special purpose acquisition company and indirect subsidiary of the Company. The SPAC’s sponsor, SC Capital II Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), a Delaware limited liability company, is controlled and majority owned by Nukkleus Defense Technologies Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

On November 28, 2025, SC II consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 17,250,000 units (the “Units”), including the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 2,250,000 Units. The Units were sold at a public offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of approximately $172.5 million. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, and one right to receive one-fifth (1/5) of one Class A ordinary share upon the consummation of SC II’s initial business combination (each, a “Share Right”).

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor purchased 255,000 private placement units (the “Sponsor Units”) at $10.00 per unit, pursuant to a Sponsor Private Placement Units Purchase Agreement dated November 25, 2025. The issuance of the Sponsor Units was made pursuant to the exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

The proceeds of the IPO were placed in a trust account to be used for the purpose of completing a business combination in accordance with SC II’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

 

As of June 30, 2026, the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:

 

Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption as of December 31, 2025   172,778 
Plus:     
Remeasurement of carrying value to redemption value   1,789 
Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption as of March 31, 2026   174,568 
      
Plus:     
Remeasurement of carrying value to redemption value   1,321 
Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption as of June 30, 2026   175,889 

 

On March 31, 2026, the SPAC entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) with a payments technology company (the “Target”), which outlines the general terms and conditions of a potential business combination (the “Proposed Transaction”) pursuant to which the SPAC would acquire 100% of the outstanding equity and equity equivalents of the Target.

 

The LOI is a preliminary, non-binding expression of mutual interest and does not constitute a binding commitment, obligation or agreement of the SPAC or the Target to consummate the Proposed Transaction or any other transaction. Except for certain limited binding provisions, including, among other things, exclusivity, confidentiality, the waiver of claims against the SPAC’s trust account, and governing law, neither the SPAC nor the Target has any legal obligation to the other party with respect to the Proposed Transaction by virtue of the LOI.

 

On July 12, 2026, the SPAC informed the Target that it is terminating the LOI, effective immediately, as the SPAC does not intend to pursue the Proposed Transaction. As a result of such termination, the SPAC no longer has any obligations pursuant to the LOI, other than certain confidentiality obligations.

C.Star 26 Capital Inc. Acquisition

 

On January 12, 2026, the Company consummated the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding equity of Star 26 Capital Inc. (“Star”) pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement and Call Option, dated September 15, 2025 (the “Star Agreement”), with Star, the equity holders of Star, and Menachem Shalom, as the representative of said equity holders. Mr. Shalom, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a director, is also a controlling shareholder and director of Star. Pursuant to the Star Agreement, T3 acquired a 100% interest in Star. See note 3.

On February 16, 2026, the Company consummated its acquisition (the “ITS Acquisition”) of 51% of I.T.S. Industrial Techno-Logic Solutions Ltd., an Israeli private company (“ITS”). ITS is engaged in the design, development, and serial production of fully integrated electro-mechanical systems and sophisticated assembly lines.

 

ITS’s operations are conducted by ITS and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Positech Ltd., which specializes in the design and manufacture of high-performance motion control systems for both defense and commercial applications. See Note 5.

 

F.Israel – Hamas war

 

In October 2023, a large-scale terrorist attack in southern Israel led to the outbreak of armed conflict between Israel and Hamas. The conflict subsequently expanded to additional regional fronts and contributed to a period of heightened geopolitical and security instability in the region.

 

During 2024 and 2025, hostilities included military operations in Lebanon and direct confrontations involving Iran. These developments increased regional uncertainty and, at times, resulted in temporary disruptions to the Company’s operations in Israel, including limited interruptions to routine business activities.

 

In September 2025, a ceasefire agreement was reached between Israel and Hamas, and all remaining living Israeli hostages were released and returned to Israel. While the ceasefire has generally held as of the date of these financial statements, the security situation remains sensitive, and the potential for renewed hostilities or broader regional escalation cannot be ruled out. More recently, on February 28, 2026, hostilities between Israel and Iran escalated again. Israel, together with the United States, conducted a major joint military campaign of air and missile strikes against targets in Iran, which triggered a broad Iranian response and contributed to significant regional instability. The situation remains highly fluid, and management is unable to predict when, or on what terms, this escalation will be resolved. Accordingly, the extent of the continued impact on the Company’s operations and financial results, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Given that the majority of the Company’s operations are conducted in Israel, and that all members of the Company’s board of directors and management, as well as most employees, consultants, and service providers, are located in Israel, the Company is directly affected by the economic, political, geopolitical, and military conditions impacting the region. As of June 30, 2026, while ceasefire arrangements with Hamas, Lebanon and Iran were generally in effect and large-scale military operations had subsided, the overall security environment in Israel and the surrounding region remained unstable and unpredictable. Any further escalation or expansion of the conflict could negatively affect both regional and global conditions, and may adversely impact the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. In April 2026, a ceasefire agreement was reached with respect to the hostilities with Iran described above; however, the ceasefire remains fragile and the overall security situation in Israel and the region continues to be uncertain.

 

G.Going concern 

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.

 

At June 30, 2026, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $131 million (of which $124 million consists of stock purchase warrant liabilities that do not require cash settlement) and stockholders’ deficit of $19 million as of June 30, 2026; For the six and three months ended June 30 , 2026, the Company reported a net operating loss of $7.2 million and $3.4 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2026, the net cash used in operations was approximately $9.8 million. Absent any other action, the Company will require additional liquidity to continue its operations for the next 12 months.

 

After evaluating these conditions, management concluded that its plans, when considered in aggregate, alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Those plans include: (i) the Company’s existing unrestricted cash balance of approximately $4.1 million, sufficient to fund projected operating expenses through the look-forward period; (ii) an active Equity Line of Credit (“ELOC”) with Esousa Holdings, LLC — legally binding, SEC-registered, and shareholder-approved — providing drawdown capacity, which exceeds the Company’s projected annual operating cash needs; (iii) the Company’s majority-owned subsidiaries, including Rimon Ltd. and Nimbus Drones, which are cash-positive and require no capital support from the Company; (iv) management’s ongoing efforts to assist subsidiaries in securing or expanding bank credit facilities; (v) the option to satisfy certain obligations through issuance of equity in lieu of cash; and (vi) management's plans to conduct efficiency measures and cost reduction steps in certain subsidiaries.

 

In addition, management believes that the completion of the sale in April 2026 by Water IO Ltd., a majority-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, of Zorro Net Ltd. to BiomX Inc., pursuant to which Water IO received 1,300,000 shares of BiomX common stock and a $1.25 million promissory note (see note 7A below), may provide additional liquidity and financial flexibility to the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

Management has determined that its plans are probable of being effectively implemented and probable of mitigating the conditions described above, enabling continuation of the Company’s operations for the foreseeable future.
