CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q (this “Report”) contains “forward-looking statements” (as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”)) that reflect our current expectations and views of future events. The forward-looking statements are contained principally
in the section of this Report entitled “ Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations .”
Readers are cautioned that significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors (including those over which
we may have no control and others listed in this Report and in the “ Risk Factors ” section of our Annual Report on Form
10-K/A for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 (“2024 Annual Report”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”) on March 4, 2025, may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those
expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. You can identify some of these forward-looking statements by words or phrases
such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “aim,” “estimate,”
“intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “is/are likely to,” “potential,” “continue”
or other similar expressions. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future
events that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs.
Our operations and business
prospects are always subject to risks and uncertainties including, among others:
● Our
ability to secure raw materials and components to manufacture sufficient quantities of robots to match demand;
● Our
ability to secure enterprise clients and deals in the face of growing competition;
● Assumptions
around the speed of robotic adoption in service environments;
● Assumptions
relating to the size of the market for our products and services;
● Unanticipated
regulations of robots and automation that add barriers to adoption and have a negative effect on our business;
● Our
ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our products; and
● Our
estimates of expenses, future revenue, capital requirements and our needs for, or ability to obtain, additional financing.
These forward-looking statements
involve numerous and significant risks and uncertainties. Although we believe that our expectations expressed in these forward-looking
statements are reasonable, our expectations may later be found to be incorrect. Our actual results of operations or the results of other
matters that we anticipate herein could be materially different from our expectations. Important risks and factors that could cause our
actual results to be materially different from our expectations are generally set forth in the “ Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation ” section contain in this Report and in the “ Risk Factors ”
and other sections of the 2024 Annual Report. You should thoroughly read this Report and the documents that we refer to with the understanding
that our actual future results may be materially different from, and worse than, what we expect. We qualify all our forward-looking statements
by these cautionary statements.
The forward-looking statements
made in this Report relate only to events or information as of the date of this Report. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation
to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after
the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should read this Report completely
and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2025 AND
2024
(Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise stated)
NOTE 1: Nature of Business
Description of Business
Richtech Robotics Inc. (“we”,
“us”, “our” “Richtech” or the “Company”), is a C-Corporation registered in Nevada. Richtech
was converted from Richtech Creative Displays, LLC on June 22, 2022 , and is the predecessor of Richtech. Richtech Creative Displays, LLC
was established on July 19, 2016 in Nevada.
We are a leading provider
of service robotic solutions. We develop, manufacture, and deploy novel products that address the growing need for automation in the service
industry and provide service automation solutions that directly address the labor shortage problem affecting the US service industry.
Our solutions include delivery, commercial cleaning, food & beverage service, and customization and development service, which have
been implemented in more than 80 cities across the United States in restaurants, hotels, casinos, senior living homes, factories and retail
centers. Our solutions automate repetitive and time-consuming tasks which allows clients to reallocate labor hours to more value-creating
roles. Many of our clients see our robotic solutions as crucial to expanding and scaling their businesses. Our goal is to be a long-term
partner to our clients, providing them with a range of robotic solutions to alleviate their problems.
Risk and Uncertainties
The Company’s business
and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions worldwide. These conditions include short-term and long-term
interest rates, inflation, fluctuations in debt and equity capital markets and the general condition of the world economy. A host of factors
beyond the Company’s control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse developments in these general business and economic
conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and the results of its operations. In addition,
the Company competes with many companies that currently have extensive and well-funded projects and marketing and sales operations. The
Company may be unable to compete successfully against these companies. The Company’s 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.
The Company’s future success will depend on its ability to adapt to technological advances, anticipate customer and market demands,
and enhance its 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 initial public offering on November 21, 2023, (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 and (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 as one operating
segment.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid
investments purchased with an original maturity of three 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.
Accounts Receivable
Our accounts receivable primarily
consist of trade receivables, which represent amounts owed to us by customers for products and services provided. These receivables are
presented net of any rebates, price protection adjustments, and allowance for credit losses. In addition to trade receivables, our accounts
receivable also include unbilled receivables. These primarily relate to work completed on development services and semi-custom products
for which revenue has been recognized but not yet invoiced to customers. We expect these unbilled receivables to be billed and collected
within twelve months.
We actively manage our exposure
to customer credit risk through various measures, including credit limits, credit lines, ongoing monitoring procedures, and credit approvals.
We perform in-depth credit evaluations of all new customers and periodically reassess the creditworthiness of existing customers. If deemed
necessary, we may require letters of credit, bank or corporate guarantees, or advance payments to mitigate credit risk.
To account for potential losses
from uncollectible accounts, we maintain an allowance for credit losses. This allowance considers both specific troubled accounts and
an overall estimate of potential uncollectible receivables based on historical experience and current credit quality assessments. As of
March 31, 2025, the allowance for credit losses was $ 103 thousand, compared to $ 197 thousand as of September 30, 2024. We believe that
our rigorous credit risk management practices and the allowance for credit losses adequately address the potential risks for uncollectible
accounts.
Inventories
We value inventory at standard
cost, adjusted to approximate the lower of actual cost or estimated net realizable value using assumptions about future demand and market
conditions. In determining excess or obsolescence reserves for our products, we consider assumptions such as changes in business and economic
conditions, other-than-temporary decreases in demand for our products, and changes in technology or customer requirements. In determining
the lower of cost or net realizable value reserves, we consider assumptions such as recent historical sales activity and selling prices,
as well as estimates of future selling prices. We fully reserve for inventories and non-cancellable purchase orders for inventory deemed
obsolete. We perform periodic reviews of inventory items to identify excess inventories on hand by comparing on-hand balances and non-cancellable
purchase orders to anticipated usage using recent historical activity as well as anticipated or forecasted demand. If estimates of customer
demand diminish further or market conditions become less favorable than those projected by us, additional inventory carrying value adjustments
may be required.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company issued an
aggregate of 730,822 shares of Class B common stock under the Amended and Restated Richtech Robotics, Inc. 2023 Stock Option Plan, consisting
of the following: (i) 430,822 shares of Class B common stock were issued as compensation for consulting services, resulting in an increase
of $ 1,174 thousand to Additional Paid-in Capital in accordance with ASC 718; (ii) 300,000 shares of Class B common stock were transferred
to the Company’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) trust for future allocation to eligible employees. These shares are currently unallocated
within the ESOP trust. The transfer resulted in an increase of $ 513 ,000 to Additional Paid-in Capital in accordance with ASC 718.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when
we transfer promised goods or services to our customers, in amounts that reflect the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange
for those goods or services. In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as we fulfill our obligations under each
agreement, 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 sale of our branded robotic products directly to customers. We consider customer purchase orders, which in some cases are governed
by master sales agreements, to be the contracts with our customers. There is a single performance obligation in all our contracts, which
is our promise to transfer our product to customers based on specific payment and shipping terms in the arrangement. The entire transaction
price is allocated to this single performance obligation. Product revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of our product,
which occurs at a point in time and may be upon shipment or delivery, based on the terms of the contract.
Revenue from Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS)
As part of our evolving business
model, we generate revenue through our Robots-as-a-Service (“RaaS”) offerings, which provide customers with ongoing access
to our robotic solutions under long-term contracts. For RaaS agreements, revenue is recognized over time on a monthly basis as the services
are provided and the customer benefits from the use of the robotic solutions.
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 cost of goods sold.

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 or not 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 for our
fiscal years ended September 30, 2023 and 2024. 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.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion
should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes contained elsewhere in this Report and
in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The following discussion may contain predictions,
estimates, and other forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including those discussed under “Risk
Factors” in our 2024 Annual Report and elsewhere in this Report. These risks could cause our actual results to differ materially
from any future performance suggested below.
Overview
We are a leading provider
of service robotic solutions by developing, manufacturing, and deploying novel products that address the growing need for automation in
the service industry. We develop, manufacture, and deploy cutting-edge robots that streamline operations, enhance efficiency, and alleviate
labor shortages across a diverse range of sectors, including restaurants, hotels, casinos, senior living facilities, and retail centers.
Our commitment to technological advancement and customer-centric solutions has positioned us as a key player in the rapidly evolving robotics
landscape.
Key Business Highlights for the Second Quarter
of Fiscal Year 2025
● Strategic Transition to
Robotics-as-a-Service: We continued to advance the implementation of our RaaS model during the second quarter. This business
model is designed to generate more consistent and recurring revenue by increasing customer access to our robotic solutions. During
the quarter, we engaged in active negotiations with several leading enterprise groups in the automobile sector regarding large-scale
RaaS deployments. As a result, in April 2025, we signed a Master Services Agreement (MSA) with a car retailer/dealership enterprise
group with more than 150 locations in its dealership network, creating potential deployments for our products. This agreement
represents a key milestone in the ongoing expansion of our RaaS strategy and is expected to meaningfully accelerate deployment
activity and revenue conversion in the second half of the fiscal year.
● Continued
Investment in Research and Development: In the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, we continued to expand our investment in research
and development, reflecting our ongoing commitment to innovation and long-term growth. In addition to recruiting top talent in robotics
and artificial intelligence, we are in discussion in regards to potential collaboration with leading technology organizations in Silicon
Valley and well-established U.S. universities. These efforts are focused on the development of a new generation of robotic systems designed
to address a wider range of commercial applications across multiple industries. The new robot currently under development is expected
to be introduced by the end of calendar year 2025. Its design emphasizes scalability, adaptability, and deployment efficiency, with a
particular focus on modular construction to streamline production and reduce on-site installation time. We are also accelerating the
integration of advanced AI capabilities into both the software and hardware layers to enhance autonomous performance and operational
flexibility in complex business environments.
● Expansion
of Sales and Marketing Efforts: In the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, we continued to scale our sales and marketing efforts
to support RaaS adoption. We expanded online campaigns and participated in industry events and trade shows to increase visibility. As
more paying event clients used our ADAM and Scorpion robots in short-term applications, product exposure and brand recognition grew across
multiple sectors. These commercial use cases, combined with strong customer feedback and visible ROI, contributed to positive word-of-mouth
and increased inbound interest. Additionally, at CES 2025, our ADAM robot was featured in the opening keynote presentation by NVIDIA,
further raising our profile within the technology and robotics industries.
● In partnership with Ghost Kitchen Brands, we are supporting
the rollout of One Kitchen (a brand under Ghost Kitchen Brands) within select Walmart locations. The first store opened near Chicago
in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. A second location opened on March 1, 2025, in Peachtree City, Georgia, expanding our presence
in the Southeast and serving as a pilot for refining operations. An additional location near San Jose, California, is planned for summer
2025.
In February 2025, we also launched our first
Clouffee & Tea store, introducing our own robotic coffee and tea concept. We plan to expand this brand with additional locations
in the coming months.
13
Recent Developments
In January 2025, we received
warrant exercise notices from three investors, collectively exercising an aggregate of 3,814,611 warrants. As a result, we issued an aggregate
of 3,814,611 shares of Class B common stock and received aggregate proceeds of $5,149,724.85. Rodman was paid a fee equal to 7% of the
gross proceeds of the warrant exercises, pursuant to the Rodman Engagement Letter.
On February 10, 2025, we entered
into a warrant exercise inducement offer letter with a holder of Existing Warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 2,699,797 shares of
its Class B common stock, to exercise its Existing Warrants at the existing exercise price of $1.35 per share, generating gross proceeds
of approximately $3,644,726 before deducting financial advisory fees. In consideration for the immediate exercise of the Existing Warrants,
we issued to such holder 2,699,797 Inducement Warrants with an exercise price of $4.00 per share, which are immediately exercisable and
valid for five years from issuance. The shares of Class B common stock underlying the Inducement Warrants are entitled to registration
rights. In connection with the Armistice Warrant Inducement, and pursuant to the Rodman Engagement Letter, Rodman was paid a fee equal
to 7% of the gross proceeds of the Existing Warrant exercises and will be entitled to 7% of the proceeds from any exercise of the Inducement
Warrants. In addition, we issued to Rodman warrants to purchase an aggregate of 188,986 shares of Class B common stock at an exercise
price of $5.00 per share, which are immediately exercisable and valid for five years from issuance, pursuant to the Rodman Engagement
Letter.
On February 13, 2025, we entered
into a Settlement Agreement with ACSS, pursuant to which the parties agreed to mutually release and all claims against each other arising
out of that certain engagement letter, dated as of July 2, 2024, by and between the Company and ACSS. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement,
we agreed to pay to ACSS a sum of $430,000.
Factors and Trends Affecting Our Business and
Results of Operations
The following trends and uncertainties
either affected our financial performance historically or are likely to impact our results of operations in the future:
● As
our robotic products market potential is seen by others, more competitors enter the market, which will lead to price competition and
a decline in profit margins;
● A
recession could lead to a decline in customer demand in our robotic products and services;
● Some
of the products are currently assembled by suppliers in China, which may delay the supply if they are affected by international shipping,
epidemic, geopolitical conflicts and other factors;
● We
anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will continue to increase in the future as a result of increased costs associated
with operating as a public company. These increases will likely include increased costs related to the hiring of additional personnel
and fees to outside consultants, attorneys, and accountants, and personnel-related stock-based compensation costs, among other expenses,
and, in the case of public company-related expenses, services associated with strengthening our internal control over financial reporting,
maintaining compliance with Nasdaq listing and SEC reporting requirements, director and officer liability insurance costs, and investor
and public relations costs, among other expenses.
● Inflationary
pressures are also a concern as it is difficult to make reliable projections for the cost of components. This means profit margins could
be affected, and our pricing would need to re-evaluated on a regular basis.
● The
rising interest rate will lead to a higher borrowing cost. It will increase our costs for any potential future borrowings and financing
activities. Higher interest rates reduce consumer spending and business investment, causing the economy to contract, which will impact
on our business and will reduce our customers’ purchasing power.
14
● Tariffs and Trade Policies: Changes and uncertainty in United
States and international trade policies, including the imposition or expansion of tariffs, may adversely affect our operations, cost
structure, and ability to engage in long-term planning.
● We have implemented domestic manufacturing and supply chain
strategies to mitigate exposure to tariff-related risks. Based on our internal analysis, the estimated impact of current tariffs on cost
of our goods sold is approximately 1 percent to 5 percent. Future policy changes or new trade restrictions may disrupt the supply
chain and limit our ability to expand into international markets. We are actively monitoring trade policy developments and are evaluating
mitigation strategies, including supplier diversification and adjustments to our pricing models, to reduce potential adverse effects.

* Alphamax is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, established
to spearhead our expansion into the food and beverage sector. As a consulting and management company, Alphamax oversees the operation
of our innovative food and beverage concepts, including the interactive robot barista cafe. This initiative will serve as a model for
future development and expansion within the food and beverage industry, showcasing the potential of our advanced robotic technologies
in revolutionizing customer experiences and streamlining operations.
Cost of Revenue, net
Cost of revenue, net, decreased significantly for both the
six and three months ended March 31, 2025:
For the six months ended March 31, 2025, cost of revenue,
net, decreased by $405 thousand, or approximately 41.2%, to $577 thousand, compared to $982 thousand for the same period in 2024.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, cost of revenue,
net, decreased by $31 thousand, or approximately 6.4%, to $454 thousand, compared to $485 thousand for the same period in 2024.
This overall decrease is primarily attributable to the continued
transition towards our Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) model.
Under the RaaS model, we recognize revenue from leasing our
robots to customers, rather than from outright sales. This shift impacts the timing of cost recognition. When a robot is leased, certain
upfront costs, which would have been recognized immediately under a sales model, are instead recognized over the lease term. This results
in lower cost of revenue in the current periods. We expect the RaaS model to continue to influence our cost of revenue in future periods
as it becomes a larger portion of our business.
16
Product Revenue: Product revenue increased substantially for
both periods, indicating continued strong demand for our robotic solutions:
● For the six months ended March 31, 2025, product revenue increased
by $744 thousand, or approximately 111.0%, to $1,414 thousand, compared to $670 thousand in 2024.
● For the three months ended March 31, 2025, product revenue
increased by $182 thousand, or approximately 37.7%, to $664 thousand, compared to $482 thousand in 2024.
Service/Rental Revenue: Service/Rental revenue decreased significantly,
reflecting the ongoing strategic shift towards our RaaS model:
● For the six months ended March 31, 2025, service/rental revenue
decreased by $781 thousand, or approximately 64.3%, to $433 thousand, compared to $1,214 thousand in 2024.
● For the three months ended March 31, 2025, service/rental
revenue decreased by $115 thousand, or approximately 27.7%, to $300 thousand, compared to $415 thousand in 2024.
Leasing Revenue: Leasing revenue showed a notable increase over
the six-month period, demonstrating the growing adoption of our RaaS model:
● For the six months ended March 31, 2025, leasing revenue increased
by $71 thousand, or approximately 40.8%, to $245 thousand, compared to $174 thousand in 2024.
● For the three months ended March 31, 2025, leasing revenue
decreased by $54 thousand, or approximately 33.5%, to $107 thousand, compared to $161 thousand in 2024.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased significantly for both the six and
three months ended March 31, 2025:
For the six months ended March 31, 2025, gross profit increased
by $557 thousand, or approximately 43.2%, to $1,847 thousand, compared to $1,290 thousand for the same period in 2024.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, gross profit increased
by $32 thousand, or approximately 4.7%, to $712 thousand, compared to $680 thousand for the same period in 2024.
This improvement in gross profit is directly related to the
decrease in cost of revenue, net, as discussed in the preceding section.
The
substantial increase in gross profit for the six months ended March 31, 2025, is primarily due to shift in our sales mix towards higher-margin
RaaS offerings. A relatively less increase in gross profit
for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 is due to the timing of a key customer’s transition
from pilot phase to a signed Master Services Agreement in April 2025, resulting in the deferral of related deployments and revenue to
future periods.
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses decreased substantially
for both the six and three months ended March 31, 2025:
For the six months ended March 31, 2025, research and development
expenses decreased by $443 thousand, or approximately 35.5%, to $804 thousand, compared to $1,247 thousand for the same period in 2024.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, research and development
expenses decreased by $93 thousand, or approximately 22.5%, to $320 thousand, compared to $413 thousand for the same period in 2024.
The decrease in research and development expenses is primarily
due to: completion of major development projects. The Company completed several major development projects during the latter part of 2024,
which has resulted in a reduction in hardware-related R&D spending in the first half of 2025.

Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses showed mixed trends for the
six and three months ended March 31, 2025:
For the six months ended March 31, 2025, sales and marketing
expenses decreased by $172 thousand, or approximately 21.8%, to $615 thousand, compared to $787 thousand for the same period in 2024.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, sales and marketing
expenses increased by $178 thousand, or approximately 92.7%, to $370 thousand, compared to $192 thousand for the same period in 2024.
The overall trend reflects a shift in the timing of our sales
and marketing activities.
The decrease in sales and marketing expenses for the six
months ended March 31, 2025, is primarily due to:
o Reduced spending on specific marketing campaigns that occurred in the prior year’s period.
o Cost-saving measures implemented to improve efficiency in sales operations.
o A shift towards more cost-effective digital marketing strategies.
The increase in sales and marketing expenses for the three
months ended March 31, 2025, is primarily due to:
o Increased investment in sales personnel to support the growth of our RaaS model.
o Higher advertising and promotional expenses related to a new product launch.
o Participation in industry trade shows and events.
We are continuously evaluating the effectiveness of our sales
and marketing investments to ensure they align with our strategic objectives and drive sustainable revenue growth.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased substantially
for both the six and three months ended March 31, 2025:
For the six months ended March 31, 2025, general and administrative
expenses increased by $6,801 thousand, or approximately 275.9%, to $9,265 thousand, compared to $2,464 thousand for the same period in
2024.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, general and administrative
expenses increased by $3,942 thousand, or approximately 386.5%, to $4,962 thousand, compared to $1,021 thousand for the same period in
2024.
The increase in general and administrative expenses for the
current period was primarily driven by the following factors:
Settlement expenses: A significant portion of the increase
was attributable to a settlement reached with AC Sunshine Securities LLC (“ACSS”). As disclosed in the Settlement Agreement
dated February 13, 2025, the Company agreed to pay $430 thousand to ACSS to resolve a dispute related to a prior engagement letter. This
amount is included in general and administrative expenses for the period.
Increased personnel costs: Increased salaries expenses related
to hiring additional personnel to support our growth. This expansion includes key hires in engineering, finance and accounting, legal
and compliance, and human resources.
P rofessional
fees: Higher professional fees for external services such as legal counsel, independent auditors, and consulting engagements. These increased
fees are related to compliance with public company reporting requirements and ongoing legal matters. The legal fees related to the ACSS
settlement are included in this line item.
18
We are committed to carefully managing our general and administrative
expenses while ensuring we have the necessary resources to support the company’s growth and meet our obligations. While the increase in
G&A expenses is a natural consequence of our growth and transition to becoming a public company, we are committed to managing these
expenses effectively. We are actively implementing cost optimization measures, streamlining processes, and leveraging technology to improve
efficiency and control costs. We believe that our strategic investments in human capital, infrastructure, and compliance are essential
to support our long-term growth objectives. As we continue to scale our operations and expand our market presence, we anticipate that
G&A expenses will continue to increase, but we are committed to managing these costs prudently and ensuring that they align with our
overall financial performance.
Interest expenses
Net: Interest expenses, net, decreased significantly for
both the six and three months ended March 31, 2025.
For the six months ended March 31, 2025, interest expenses,
net, decreased by $651 thousand to $(9 thousand), compared to $(660 thousand) for the same period in 2024.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, interest expenses,
net, decreased by $169 thousand to $(5 thousand), compared to $(174 thousand) for the same period in 2024. This decrease is primarily
due to repayment of debt.
Investment Income
Investment income increased substantially for both the six
and three months ended March 31, 2025.
For the six months ended March 31, 2025, investment income
increased by $720 thousand to $720 thousand, compared to $0 for the same period in 2024.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, investment income
increased by $387 thousand to $387 thousand, compared to $0 for the same period in 2024. This increase is primarily due to increase in
investment income with higher interest rates on cash balances.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity
are cash and cash equivalents, which consist of cash on hand and short-term investments that are readily convertible to cash. As of March
31, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $11.1 million. This represents about 3.5 million decrease from $14.6 million at the end
of the prior fiscal year. The substantial increase in our cash position is primarily attributable to the net proceeds of $9.2 million
received from the exercise and issuance of warrants. These proceeds significantly strengthened our balance sheet and provided us with
financial flexibility to invest in our growth initiatives, including expanding our R&D team, purchase of property and equipment to
support our expanding operations. This increase was partially offset by cash used in operating activities, primarily due to our net loss
and investments in working capital.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating
activities was $8,076 thousand for the six months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $2,543 thousand for the same period in 2024. The increase
in cash outflows was primarily due to a higher net loss of $8,076 thousand in the current period, compared to a net loss of $3,868 thousand
in the prior-year period.
Changes in net operating assets and liabilities
had a relatively minor impact on operating cash flow for the current period, resulting in a net outflow of approximately $50 thousand.
This was primarily driven by a decrease in accounts receivable of $321 thousand and a decrease in inventory of $343 thousand, partially
offset by changes in other working capital items.
In the prior-year period, changes in net operating assets and liabilities
resulted in a larger net outflow of approximately $1,325 thousand, primarily driven by a decrease in accounts receivable of $1,823 thousand
and a decrease in inventory of $530 thousand, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $969 thousand. Non-cash adjustments
to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operating activities for the current period included depreciation and amortization of $730 thousand.
Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing
activities was $15,130 thousand for the six months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to $14,773 thousand on purchase of short-term investments
and $241 thousand on long-term investments.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled
$19,766 thousand for the six months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $10,339 thousand for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily
due to the exercise of warrants during the period.
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled
approximately $10,339 thousand for the six months ended March 31, 2024. We raised approximately $9,278 thousand from issuance of Class
B common stock and obtained short-term loans in the form of convertible Notes totaling $2 million from the Investor.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
To the knowledge of our management
team, there is no litigation currently pending or contemplated against us, any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such
or against any of our property.
Item
1A. Risk Factors .
As a smaller reporting company
under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, the Company is not required to provide risk factors in this report. For our current risk factors
relating to our operations, other than as set forth below, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” contained in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 filed with the SEC on March 4, 2025.
Our business and international
expansion may be negatively affected by global political events and foreign policy responses, including tariffs.
There have recently been significant
changes to international trade policies and tariffs affecting imports and exports. Any significant increases in tariffs on goods or materials
or other changes in trade policy could negatively affect our business and our plans to expand to international markets as we continue
to seek partnerships with businesses located outside the U.S., including China.
Recently, the U.S. has implemented
a range of new tariffs and increases to existing tariffs. On April 2, 2025, the U.S. instituted a 54% tariff on all goods from China through
an executive order. On April 9, 2025, implementation of the executive order issued on April 2, 2025, was paused for a period of 90 days
with respect to all countries other than China. As of May 5, 2025, tariffs on most Chinese-made products entering the U.S. were 145% and
may continue to increase, or decrease, over the near term. Some of our products are currently assembled by suppliers in China, although
our flagship ADAM and Scorpion robot systems are assembled at our Las Vegas headquarters. Any continuation or increase of tariffs on products
imported from China could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The progress and continuation
of trade negotiations between the U.S. and China continues to be uncertain and a further escalation of the trade war remains a possibility.
These tariffs have, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on our results of operations and profit margins. We can provide no assurance
regarding the magnitude, scope or duration of the imposed tariffs or the magnitude, scope or duration from any relief in increases to
such tariffs, as well as the potential for additional tariffs or trade barriers by the U.S., China or other countries, nor that any strategies
we may implement to mitigate the impact of such tariffs or other trade actions will be successful.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
and Use of Proceeds.
In January 2025, the Company
received warrant exercise notices from three investors, collectively exercising an aggregate of 3,814,611 warrants, resulting in the issuance
of 3,814,611 shares of Class B common stock and proceeds to the Company of $5,149,724.85, net of financial advisory fees.
On February 10, 2025, the
Company entered into a warrant exercise inducement offer letter, which led to the exercise of warrants for 2,699,797 shares of Class B
common stock, generating gross proceeds of approximately $3,644,726 before deducting financial advisory fees. In consideration for this
exercise, the Company issued 2,699,797 new warrants with an exercise price of $4.00 per share.
During the three months ended
March 31, 2025, the Company issued an aggregate of 730,822 shares of Class B common stock under the Amended and Restated Richtech Robotics,
Inc. 2023 Stock Option Plan, consisting of the following: (i) 430,822 shares of Class B common stock were issued as compensation for consulting
services, resulting in an increase of $1,174 thousand to Additional Paid-in Capital in accordance with ASC 718; (ii) 300,000 shares of
Class B common stock were transferred to the Company’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) trust for future allocation to eligible employees.
These shares are currently unallocated within the ESOP trust. The transfer resulted in an increase of $513,000 to Additional Paid-in Capital
in accordance with ASC 718.
