Notes to Financial Statements

NOTE 1: Nature of Business

Description of Business

Richtech Robotics Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company”, or “Richtech”), is a Nevada C-Corporation registered in Nevada. Richtech was converted from Richtech Creative Displays, LLC on June 22, 2022, the predecessor of Richtech established on July 19, 2016 in Nevada.

We are a pioneer in service robotic solutions, developing and deploying cutting-edge technology that directly tackles the critical labor shortage plaguing the US service industry. Our diverse suite of solutions, encompassing delivery, commercial cleaning, food & beverage service, and custom development, has been transforming operations in over 80 cities across the United States. From bustling restaurants and hotels to dynamic casinos, senior living facilities, factories, and retail centers, our robots are automating repetitive, time-consuming tasks, allowing businesses to reallocate valuable human capital to higher-level roles. Many of our clients consider our solutions essential for their expansion and growth. We are committed to being a long-term partner, continuously innovating and providing a comprehensive range of solutions that remedy specific challenges and propel our clients’ success.*** ***

Risk and Uncertainties

The Company’s performance is inherently tied to global business and economic conditions, including interest rates, inflation, capital markets, and overall economic health. These factors, outside of our direct control, can fluctuate significantly and potentially impact our financial results. Adverse changes in these conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, we operate in a highly competitive industry with numerous established players boasting extensive resources and well-developed marketing and sales operations. Our ability to compete effectively and gain market share is not guaranteed, and we may struggle against these larger competitors. Our industry is characterized by rapid changes in technology and market demands. As a result, the Company’s products, services, or expertise may become obsolete or unmarketable. Our continued success hinges on our ability to adapt to these technological changes, anticipate evolving market demands, and continuously improve our current technology under development.*** ***

Emerging Growth Company Status

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as those standards apply to private companies.

We have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that we are (1) no longer an emerging growth company or (2) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (1) the last day of the first fiscal year (A) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our offering on November 20, 2028, (B) in which our total annual gross revenue is at least $1.235 billion or (C) when we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

NOTE 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

These financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment Reporting

Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. We view our operations and manage our business asone operating segment.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity ofthree months or less to be cash equivalents. We place our cash and cash equivalents in highly liquid instruments with, and in the custody of, financial institutions with high credit ratings.

$604,500 of our cash and cash equivalents is earmarked for a future investment in a cafe. Once this investment is finalized, the corresponding funds will be reclassified as long-term investments on our balance sheet.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable primarily consist of trade receivables presented in net of rebates, price protection and an allowance for credit loss. Accounts receivable also include unbilled receivables, which primarily represent work completed on development services recognized as revenue but not yet invoiced to customers and semi-custom products under non-cancellable purchase orders that have no alternative use to the Company at contract inception, for which revenue has been recognized but not yet invoiced to customers. All unbilled accounts receivable are expected to be billed and collected within twelve months.

We actively manage customer credit risk through credit limits, ongoing monitoring, and a robust approval process. In-depth credit evaluations are conducted for all new customers and periodically for existing customers. Based on these evaluations, we may require additional credit enhancements such as letters of credit, bank guarantees, or advance payments. We maintain an allowance for credit losses, considering both specific identified risks and broader historical trends. We do not believe our accounts receivable present a material credit risk at this time.

Inventories

We employ a standard cost valuation approach for our inventory, with adjustments to align with the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. This estimate considers future demand and market conditions to ensure accurate representation. In determining excess or obsolescence reserves for its products, we consider assumptions such as changes in business and economic conditions, other-than-temporary decreases in demand for its products, and changes in technology or customer requirements The net realizable value adjustments are informed by recent historical sales activity and selling prices, alongside future price estimations. We fully reserve for inventories and non-cancellable purchase orders for inventory deemed obsolete. We actively manage inventory risk through regular reviews and comparisons of stock levels with anticipated demand. This proactive approach allows for early identification of excess inventory, enabling us to implement corrective actions such as promotional offers. Additionally, we maintain close collaboration with suppliers to ensure inventory acquisition aligns with our actual needs and timing.

Inventory as of June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 are as follows:

June 30, 2024September 30, 2023
Raw materials$80$164
Finished goods319658
Total inventories$399$822

Property, and Equipment, net

Property and equipment, net, is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization and is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives of equipment istwo tosix years, and leasehold improvements are measured by the shorter of the remaining terms of the leases or the estimated useful economic lives of the improvements.

Property and equipment as of June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 are as follows:

June 30, 2024September 30, 2023
Furniture, fixtures & equipment$65$63
Leasehold improvements44
6967
Accumulated depreciation(48)(39)
Property and equipment, net$21$28

Depreciation expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $9 and $6, respectively

Stockholders’ Equity

According to ASC 505-10-S99-4, changes in the capital structure of a reporting entity due to a stock dividend, stock split or reverse split occurring after the date of the latest reported balance sheet but before the release of the financial statements (or the effective date of the registration statement, whichever is later) should be given retroactive effect in the balance sheet. In such cases, appropriate disclosure should be made of the retrospective treatment and the date the change became effective. For our Statements of Stockholders’ Equity, par value per share and the number of shares has been retrospectively restated for the related period in connection with our 4-for-1 forward stock split and concurrent re-designation of our common stock into Class A and Class B common stock in October 2022.

In accounting for the conversion of member units into common stock, we followed the relevant accounting guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in accordance with GAAP. According to ASC 805-50-15-6, an entity charters a newly formed entity and then transfers some or all its net assets to that newly chartered entity is an example of common-control transactions. ASC 805-50-15-6 provides guidance on common control transactions, stating that such transactions involve transfers between entities under common control, where the control is not transitory. In the case of the conversion of member units into common stock, the entities involved are under common control by the same parent entity. This relationship satisfies the criteria for a common control transaction, as control is not transitory, and the parent entity exercises noteworthy influence over the entities involved. Financial statements reflect the members’ equity and that the reclassification of members’ equity during fiscal 2022 to paid-in-capital is properly accounted for, in accordance with ASC 805-50-45-4 and SAB Topic 4.B by analogy.

Revenue Recognition

Our revenue recognition policy adheres to the principle of recognizing revenue when the promised goods or services are transferred to customers, at an amount reflecting the consideration we expect to receive. This principle aligns with the five-step model outlined in the accounting standard ASC 606, we perform the following steps: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) we satisfy each performance obligation. We only apply the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for the goods or services we transfer to the customer.

Product Revenue

We generate revenue through the direct sale of our branded robotic products to customers. We consider customer purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master sales agreements, to be the contracts with our customers. Each contract establishes a single performance obligation: the delivery of our product in accordance with the specified payment and shipping terms. The entire transaction price is allocated to this single performance obligation. Product revenue is recognized upon the customer acquiring control of the product, which aligns with either the shipment or delivery date as stipulated in the contract.* *

Other Revenue Policies

Sales, value add, and other taxes collected on behalf of third parties are excluded from revenue.

We do not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation at contract inception is such that the period between payment by the customer and the transfer of the promised products to the customer will be one year or less, which is the case with substantially all customers.

We recognize the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that we otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in selling expenses.

We account for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill the promise to transfer the associated products. We record the related costs within the cost of goods sold.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table sets forth revenue by product for the nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Nine months ended June 30,
20242023
Robotics
Product revenue$1,252$2,767

ClouTea*23225
Total revenue, net$3,715$3,364

Notes:

*ClouTea is the revenue generated from our boba tea store opened in May 2023, to further develop our business model. This is our model store of interactive robot barista by utilizing our ADAM robot. In July 2024, the Company received notice from the landlord of its ClouTea location that the lease would be terminated July 31, 2024. Since July 31, 2024, ClouTea has ceased operations pending a new location. The Company is currently evaluating its options and potential impacts of this lease termination, including relocation costs and potential disruptions to operations. At this time, ClouTea is not in operation. The Company cannot determine the full financial impact of this event, but it is not expected to be material to the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs primarily consist of employee-related expenses, including salaries and benefits, facilities costs, depreciation, and other allocated expenses. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with income tax accounting guidance (Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, Income Taxes). The income tax accounting guidance results in two components of income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues. The Company determines deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur. Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Tax positions are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The term “more likely than not” means a likelihood of more than 50 percent; the terms examined and upon examination also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s judgment.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income tax expense.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02,Leases (“Topic 842”). The guidance in this ASU supersedes the leasing guidance in Topic 840,Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. The standard is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. As an emerging growth company, we adopted the new standard on January 1, 2022. We had operating leases for which we were required to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12,Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which amends the approaches and methodologies in accounting for income taxes during interim periods and makes changes to certain income tax classifications. The new standard allows certain exceptions, including an exception to the use of the incremental approach for intra-period tax allocation, when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items, and to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. The standard also requires franchise or similar taxes partially based on income to be reported as income tax and to reflect the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation from the date of enactment. Lastly, in any future acquisition, we would be required to evaluate when the step-up in the tax basis of goodwill is part of the business combination and when it should be considered a separate transaction. The standard will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2022, with early adoption of the amendments permitted. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on our financial statements and disclosures.

In May 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815- 40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (“ASU 2021-04”). ASU 2021-04 provides guidance for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that is not within the scope of another topic. ASU 2021-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company has determined the adoption of ASU 2021-04 did not have a material impact on our financial statements and disclosures.

NOTE 3: Earnings per Share

In the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, we excluded potentially dilutive securities from the computation of diluted net loss per share due to the presence of net losses. During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, Share grants under the Equity Incentive Plan (“ESOP”) began vesting in February 2024. These vested shares are now considered dilutive and are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, and future periods.

NOTE 4: Income Taxes

We are subject to taxation in the United States and various state jurisdictions in which we conduct our business. Our tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising in that quarter. On a quarterly basis, we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated annual tax rate changes, we make a cumulative adjustment in that quarter.

The tax expenses recorded for both nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 differ from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% due primarily to the tax impact of state income taxes, non-deductible officers’ compensation, and transportation fringe benefits. For the nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded zero income tax benefit/(expense) for both periods, and the effective tax rate is not applicable as there were losses from continuing operations before income tax expense for both years presented.

In this quarter of 2024, we recorded a tax expense due to the reversal of a portion of our Deferred Tax Asset (“DTA”). This reversal was triggered by a change in our forecast, indicating a lower likelihood of future taxable income. The DTA was initially established due to prior net operating losses.

We have no material uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2024, and 2023. It is our policy to recognize interest, penalties and related expenses on income tax as a component of income tax expense, in our audited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. As of June 30, 2024, and 2023, we have not accrued any interest or penalties associated with uncertain tax positions.

NOTE 5: Short-term Loan

Standby Equity Purchase Agreement

On February 15, 2024, we entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with YA II PN, Ltd. (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Investor has agreed to purchase up to $50 million of the Company’s shares of Class B common stock over the course of 24 months after the date of the Purchase Agreement. The price of shares to be issued under the Purchase Agreement will be 96% of the lowest volume weighted average price (the “VWAP”) of the Company’s Class B common stock for the three trading days immediately following the delivery of each Advance notice by the Company (the “Pricing Period”). Each issuance and sale by the Company to the Investor under the Purchase Agreement (an “Advance”) is subject to a maximum amount equal to 100% of the daily trading volume of the Company’s Class B common stock, as reported by Bloomberg L.P., during the five trading days immediately preceding an Advance notice.

NOTE 5: Short-term Loan(cont.)

With respect to each Advance, the Company has the option to notify the Investor of a minimum acceptable price (“MAP”) by specifying the amount within an Advance notice. During any trading day within a Pricing Period, two conditions will trigger an automatic reduction to the amount of the Advance by one-third: either (i) the VWAP of the Class B common stock is below the MAP specified in the Advance notice, or (ii) there is no VWAP available (each such day, an “Excluded Day”). On each Excluded Day, an automatic one-third reduction is applied to the specified Advance amount in the Advance notice and that day will be excluded from the Pricing Period.

Each Advance is subject to certain limitations, including that the Investor cannot purchase any shares that would result in it beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding voting power of number of shares of Class B common stock at the time of an Advance or acquiring more than 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class B common stock as of the date of the Purchase Agreement (the “Exchange Cap”). The Exchange Cap will not apply under certain circumstances, including, where the Company has obtained stockholder approval to issue in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) or such issuances do not require stockholder approval under Nasdaq’s “minimum price rule.”

The Purchase Agreement will terminate automatically on the earlier of February 16, 2025 or when the Investor has purchased an aggregate of $50 million of the Company’s shares of Class B common stock. The Company has the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement upon five trading days’ prior written notice to the Investor, subject to certain conditions.

In connection with and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, upon the request of the Company, the Investor will pre-advance to the Company up to $3,000,000 of the $50,000,000 commitment amount (a “Pre-Advance”), with each Pre-Advance to be evidenced by a convertible promissory note (each, a “Note”). The first Pre-Advance, in the principal amount of $1,000,000, was advanced on February 15, 2024. The second Pre-Advance, in the principal amount of $1,000,000, was advanced on March 18, 2024. The third Pre-Advance, in the principal amount of $1,000,000, was advanced on April 15, 2024. Each Note is subject to a 4% discount to the principal amount of such Note. Repayment of the Notes commenced on May 15, 2024, with subsequent payments made monthly. As of June 30, 2024, the outstanding balance on the Notes was $2,333,000. The Notes were fully repaid in July 2024.

Each Note will accrue interest on the outstanding principal balance at the rate of 8% per annum and has a maturity date of February 15, 2025 (as may be extended at the option of the Investor). Beginning in May 2024, the Company was required to pay, on a monthly basis, one-nineth of the outstanding principal amount of each Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest, either (i) in cash or (ii) by submitting an Advance notice pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and selling the Investor shares, or any combination of (i) or (ii) as determined by the Company. The initial repayment is due 90 days after the issuance of the first Note, followed by subsequent payments due every 30 days after the previous payment. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Investor, any funds received by the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for the sale of shares will first be used to satisfy any payments due under an outstanding Note.

At the election of the Investor, all or a portion of the principal, interest, or other amounts outstanding under each Note (the “Conversion Amount”) may be converted into shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”), equal to: (x) the Conversion Amount, divided by (y) the Conversion Price. “Conversion Price” is defined as (i) $6.00 per share of Class B common stock, provided however, on May 28, 2024 (the “Reset Date”), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted (downwards only) to equal the average of the daily VWAPs for the 5 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Reset Date, if such price is lower than the Conversion Price then in effect. The Conversion Shares are entitled to the registration rights set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

NOTE 5: Short-term Loan (cont.)

On March 14, 2024, the Company and the Investor entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) to amend the terms of each Note as follows: (i) the Company may redeem early a portion or all amounts (including principal and accrued and unpaid interest) outstanding under the Note with at least 10 trading days’ prior written notice by the Company to the Investor. The outstanding principal balance being redeemed by the Company shall be subject to a 10% cash redemption premium. After receipt of the Redemption Notice, the Investor shall have 10 trading days to elect to convert all or any portion of the Note; and (ii) the Conversion Price shall not be lower than $1.50 per share of Class B common stock.

The Company paid a subsidiary of the Investor a structuring fee in the amount of $25,000 and in April 2024, issued to the Investor 259.350 shares of Class B common stock (the “Commitment Shares”) as a commitment fee. The Company and the Investor made certain representations and warranties to each other that are customary for transactions similar to this one, subject to specified exceptions and qualifications. Each of the Company and the Investor also agreed to indemnify the other.

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, the Letter Agreement and the Notes and the transactions contemplated thereby are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, the Letter Agreement and the Notes, a copy or a form of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.5, respectively, each of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.

Revere Agreements

In connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into two agreements with Revere Securities, LLC (“Revere”): (i) a financial services agreement, dated as of January 22, 2024 (the “Financial Services Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay Revere $25,000 per month on an accrual basis for six months, with payments commencing upon the execution of the Purchase Agreement, for general financial advisory services provided by Revere, and (ii) a finder’s fee agreement, dated as of January 22, 2024 (the “Finder’s Fee Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay Revere (a) cash compensation equal to 7% of total proceeds from Pre-Advances raised under the Purchase Agreement, plus (b) cash compensation equal to 4% of any Advance under the Purchase Agreement, paid upon 3 business days after the closing of such Advance.

The foregoing descriptions of the Financial Services Agreement and the Finder’s Fee Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Financial Services Agreement and the Finder’s Fee Agreement, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.6 and 10.7, respectively, each of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.

We also carried over a $53 thousand loan balance from Stripe Capital, obtained in 2023. This brought our total short-term loan balance to $2,386 thousand as of June 30, 2024.** **
