In order to comply with the provisions of the Corporations Act 2001, the directors report as follows:

| Mr Eden Attias | Executive Chairman/Chief Executive Officer |
|---|---|
| Mr Dan Arazi | Non-Executive Director |

Operating and financial review
The net loss of the Group for the half-year ended 30 June 2020 after providing for income tax, amounted to US$617,564 (30 June 2019: US$1,337,773).
- During the reporting period, ParaZero Limited announced execution of a letter of intent with Delta Drone South Africa to acquire its business. This process is ongoing and further updates will be provided to the market when available.
- COVID-19 In March 2020 and subsequent months, the Company took the following steps to reduce its operating costs:
-
- Employment costs the Company placed some of its Israeli R&D employees on an unpaid leave during the period of government-imposed restrictions on movement and operations.
-
- Utilities the Company received an exemption from municipality taxes, and the costs of utilities were further reduced due to the reduction in office activity.
-
- R&D expenditure The Company took steps to reduce R&D expenses through product focus and via discussions with its main suppliers and was able to reduce expenses by US$96K compared to parallel period in 2019. It is important to note that the parallel period in 2019 included US$252K in Israeli Innovation Authority grants and royalties' adjustments that decreased the overall R&D expense in that period significantly.
-
On the half-year report for the half-year ended 30 June 2020, the Company notes the following:
- The Group has seen the effect of a COVID-19 shutdown across its main target territories and this resulted in the significant decrease on the revenue line in comparison to the parallel period in 2019.
- The lockdown which took place in Israel during March-May 2020 disabled the R&D efforts to certify the new generation of the Company's products. As operations resumed following the lifting of restrictions, the Company is working hard to push forward these efforts.
Subsequent to the half-year ended 30 June 2020, ParaZero's key objectives include:
- The process to acquire Delta Drone South Africa is ongoing, which we hope to complete in the fourth quarter of 2020.
- We are looking to expand the Company's offering to services for the mining and agriculture segment and in 2021 to further this expansion into other segments.
- ParaZero is shifting resources and focus to expand on its OEM (drone operators) partnerships and secure new OEM contracts from leading drone manufacturers for enterprise applications.
- ParaZero is now moving to integrate several technologies and applications to address the growing need for BVLOS (beyond visual line of site) operations. The BVLOS kit will become an integrated part of ParaZero's core safety system.
Events subsequent to the reporting period
On 9 July 2020, the Company announced it had secured the commercially significant milestone of 100 FAA waivers granting flights over people in the USA for companies using drones equipped with ParaZero's SafeAir system.
On 7 August 2020, the Company converted 644,000 Convertible Notes, each with a face value of A$1.00 into fully paid ordinary shares at a conversion price of A$0.06 per share. The noteholders also received bonus shares equivalent to 10% of the Note value at a conversion price of A$0.06 per share upon conversion of their Notes. The conversion was approved at the Company's Annual General Meeting held on 28 July 2020.
The impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting period. The situation is rapidly developing and is dependent on measures imposed by territories in which ParaZero operates, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.
Other than the above, there has not been any matter or circumstance occurring subsequent to the end of the half-year that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Group or the results of those operations.
Auditor's independence declaration
The auditor's independence declaration is included on page 4 of the half-year report.
Signed in accordance with a resolution of directors made pursuant to s.306(3) of the Corporations Act 2001.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT
To the members of ParaZero Limited
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the half-year financial report of ParaZero Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the accompanying half-year financial report of the Group does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
- (i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
- (ii) Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to the audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's review report.
Material uncertainty relating to going concern
We draw attention to Note 3 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Responsibility of the directors for the financial report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's responsibility for the review of the financial report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Company's financial position as at 30 June 2020 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements for the half-year ended 30 June 2020
1. General information
ParaZero Limited is a listed public company, trading on the Australian Securities Exchange, limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
The Group's registered office and principal place of business is disclosed in the corporate directory.
The financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of the Group. For the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company is a for-profit entity.
This half-year financial report was authorised for issue by the directors on 27 August 2020.
2. Application of new and revised Australian Accounting Standards
2.1 Adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards
The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current half-year.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
2.2 New and revised Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations on issue but not yet effective
At the date of authorisation of the financial statements, the Group has not applied the following new and revised Australian Accounting Standards, Interpretations and amendments that have been issued but are not yet effective:
| Standard/amendment | Effective for annual |
|---|---|
| reporting periods | |
| beginning on or after | |
| AASB 17 Insurance Contracts | 1 January 2021 |
3. Significant accounting policies
Statement of compliance
The half-year financial report is a general-purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting'. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'. The half-year report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Therefore, it cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and cash flows of the Company as in the full financial report. It is recommended that this half-year report be read in conjunction with any public announcements made by ParaZero Limited up to the date of this report in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements under the ASX Listing Rules.
Basis of measurement
The half-year report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical cost. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. The half-year report is presented in United States dollars (US$) and all values are rounded to the nearest dollar unless otherwise stated.
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the ParaZero Limited's last annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019, unless otherwise stated.
Going concern
This financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Group has incurred a loss for the half-year ended 30 June 2020 of $617,564 (30 June 2019: $1,337,773) and net cash outflows from operating activities of $569,584 (30 June 2019: $1,808,428).
The World Health Organisation announced that the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) had become a pandemic on 11 March 2020. The Group developed policies and procedures to address the health and wellbeing of its employees. The full impact of COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as at the date of this report. As such, the Group is unable to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Group's financial position, liquidity and operations in the 2021 financial year.
The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent on securing additional funding through either equity, debt or receipts from product sales, or a combination of all, to continue its operational and technology development activities. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
The directors believe the Group will continue as a going concern, after consideration of the following factors:
- the Group has recently been successful in raising equity/debt and is planning to raise further funds. As at the date of this report, A$1,044,000 has been received by way of convertible notes following the Group's intention to acquire Delta Drone South Africa. A further A$200,000 is expected to be received by way of convertible notes in August 2020 and a final tranche of A$400,000 is expected by October 2020;
- the Group commenced the process of reducing expenses, notably employees and management related expenses. A revision of all research and development expenses was done to ensure the Group is able to meet its product development requirements while keeping a tighter budget; and
- the drone for commercial and civilian application is moving into a new phase. The new regulatory landscape which is based on the new ASTM standard is expected to generate increased opportunities for the company. Based on this, the directors believe that the market will continue to grow over the coming years and that the Group will capitalise on this growth through increased sales.
The directors plan to continue the Group's operations on the basis outlined above and believe there will be sufficient funds for the Group to meet its obligations and liabilities for at least twelve (12) months from the date of this report.
Should the Group not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements or raise additional capital through equity raisings and that the financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and when they become due and payable.
4. Critical accounting judgements and estimates
In the application of the Group's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements (other than those involving estimations) that have a significant impact on the amounts recognised and to make estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Key estimates and judgements
Fair value of long-term liabilities
The Group measures its liability on governmental grant received, each period, based on discounted cash flows derived from Group's future anticipated revenues. The grant is repayable upon the Group commencing product commercialisation and generating revenue from sale of product, with repayments being based on 3.5% of each dollar of revenue. As required by AASB 9 Financial Instruments, the liability has been recognised at fair value on initial recognition and subject to management's estimate of discount rate and the timing and quantity of future revenues.
At the end of each reporting period, the Group evaluates, based on its best estimate of future sales, whether there is reasonable assurance that the liability recognised, in whole or in part, will not be repaid. If there is such reasonable assurance, the appropriate amount of the liability is derecognised and recorded in profit or loss as an adjustment of research and development expenses. If the estimate of future sales indicates that there is no such reasonable assurance, the appropriate amount of the liability that reflects expected future royalty payments is recognised with a corresponding adjustment to research and development expenses.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that COVID-19 has had, or may have on the Group based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the Group operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be any other material impact on the financial statements with respect to events or conditions which may impact the Group unfavourably as at the reporting date.

(b) Capital management
Due to the nature of the Group's activities, the Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the Group's capital risk management is the current working capital position against the requirements of the Group to meet research and development programs and corporate overheads.

Other than the above, there has not been any matter or circumstance that has arisen since the end of the half-year that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Group or the results of those operations.
