Expanded operations in the defense sector & Recent Highlights:

• During 2024, the company enhanced its penetration to the defense market with new developments and collaborations. The company launched its DropAir - Precision Airdrop System for rapid delivery of blood transfusions in high-risk operational zones. ParaZero successfully tested the system in collaboration with a leading drone company and moved forward to phase II of the project with Israeli Ministry of Defense.
• The company continued to advance its Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) solution, securing new orders, including from a Tier-1 defense customer.
• Both systems gained approvals from the Israeli Defense Export Controls Agency (DECA), under the Israel Ministry of Defense (MOD).

Commercial developments:
ParaZero continued to establish its position as a leader in safety systems for urban mobility and aerial vehicles.

Its SafeAir systems, integrated with the DJI Matrice 350, DJI Mavic 3T and DJI Mavic 3E, have successfully achieved CE Class C5 compliance.
• The company also announced that a leading drone solutions provider, utilizing ParaZero's advanced safety technology, secured a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) waiver to conduct Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone operations.

"2024 was a year of advancements for ParaZero, as recent geopolitical events have demonstrated the growing reliance on drones in modern warfare, both as offensive tools and as critical assets for delivering essential supplies in high-risk operational zones. At ParaZero, we have spent over a decade developing and refining our innovative, patent-protected technologies to address these evolving threats," stated Boaz Shetzer, CEO of ParaZero. "I am proud of the company's ability to successfully translate our innovation to meet the new needs of our customers and the market."

• Research and development expenses increased by $1,506,552, or 237%, to $2,143,353 for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $636,801 for the year ended December 31, 2023.

• General and administrative expenses increased by $927,128, or 62.9%, to $2,400,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $1,472,872 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase resulted mainly from professional services rendered after the IPO and costs associated with becoming a public company.
