The outlook for the Private Security Services industry in the U.S. and abroad continues to be upbeat. Worldwide annual spending on private contract security services was estimated at $244 billion for 2016 with the U.S. being the biggest consumer accounting for 26% or $63.44 billion. Security guard services are expected to attract the largest share of overall U.S. security spending through 2019 with security guard and patrol services estimated at $19.4 billion in 2016. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics there are currently over 1 million security guards employed in the U.S. generating $31.2 billion per year in wages.
U.S. demand for private contracted security services will rise 4.2% annually through 2019 to $66.9 billion. Systems integration and security consulting will be the fastest growing services, while guarding and alarm monitoring will remain dominant. The nonresidential market will remain the largest segment, while the institutional market grows the fastest. The introduction of autonomous security robots will be a major disruptive factor in the years to come.
International Data Corporation (IDC) has identified robotics as one of six Innovation Accelerators that will drive digital transformation by opening new revenue streams and changing the way work is performed. In the new Worldwide Commercial Robotics Spending Guide, IDC forecasts global spending on robotics and related services to grow at a CAGR of 17% from more than $71 billion in 2015 to $135.4 billion in 2019. Such broad-based growth in robotic adoption is being driven by increasing labor costs, shortage of skilled labor, and an increasing emphasis on repeatable quality in conjunction with a reduction in prices of robotic systems and strategic national initiatives. There were over 41,000 professional service robots sold in 2015 valued at $4.6 billion, up 25% from the year before.
The service robotics market is expected to reach $23.90 billion by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 15.18% between 2016 and 2022 with professional service robots holding the largest market share of the service robotics market in 2015.Professional service robotics is currently the most widely developed and deployed application area of service robots in terms of market value. The market is expected to be driven by the increase in demand for logistics applications. However, other emerging professional applications such as telepresence and inspection and maintenance are expected to fuel the overall service robotics market during the forecast period. The security robots market is expected to reach $2.36 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 8.56% between 2016 and 2022 with North America expected to hold the largest share during this period.

Risks Related to Robotic Assistance Devices Business Operations
We are an early stage company and have not yet generated any profits or significant revenues.
Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. was formed in 2016 and made its first sale in 2016. Accordingly, the Company has a limited history upon which to evaluate its performance and future prospects. Our current and proposed operations are subject to all the business risks associated with new enterprises. These include likely fluctuations in operating results as the Company makes significant investments in research, development and product opportunities, and reacts to developments in its market, including purchasing patterns of customers, and the entry of competitors into the market. We cannot assure you that we will generate sufficient revenue to be profitable in the next three years.
We have a limited number of deployments.
The market for advanced physical security technology is relatively new and unproven and is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. In order to grow our business and extend our market position, we will need to place into service our robots, expand our service offerings, and expand our presence. Our ability to expand the market for our products depends on a number of factors, including the cost, performance and perceived value associated with our products and services. Furthermore, the public’s perception of the use of robots to perform tasks traditionally reserved for humans may negatively affect demand for our products and services. Ultimately, our success will depend largely on our customers’ acceptance that security services can be performed more efficiently and cost effectively through the use of our robots and ancillary services.
We cannot assure you that we will effectively manage our growth.
Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. expects to continue hiring additional employees. The growth and expansion of our business and products create significant challenges for our management, operational, and financial resources, including managing multiple relationships and interactions with users, distributors, vendors, and other third parties. As the Company continues to grow, our information technology systems, internal management processes, internal controls and procedures and production processes may not be adequate to support our operations. To ensure success, we must continue to improve our operational, financial, and management processes and systems and to effectively expand, train, and manage our employee base. As we continue to grow, and implement more complex organizational and management structures, we may find it increasingly difficult to maintain the benefits of our corporate culture, including our current team’s efficiency and expertise, which could negatively affect our business performance.
- 10 -
Our costs may grow more quickly than our revenues, harming our business and profitability.
We expect our expenses to continue to increase in the future as we expand our product offerings, expand production capabilities and hire additional employees. We expect to continue to incur increasing costs, in particular for working capital to purchase inventory, marketing and product deployments as well as costs of customer support in the field. Our expenses may be greater than we anticipate which would have a negative impact on our financial position, assets and ability to invest further in the growth and expansion of our business.
The loss of one or more of our key personnel, or our failure to attract and retain other highly qualified personnel in the future, could harm our business.
Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. currently depends on the continued services and performance of key members of its management team, in particular, its founder and CEO, Steven Reinharz, and Chief Technology OfficerAziz Sekander. If we cannot call upon them or other key management personnel for any reason, our operations and development could be harmed. The Company has not yet developed a succession plan. Furthermore, as the Company grows, it will be required to hire and attract additional qualified professionals such as accounting, legal, finance, production, service and engineering experts. The Company may not be able to locate or attract qualified individuals for such positions, which will affect the Company’s ability to grow and expand its business.
If we are unable to protect our intellectual property, the value of our brand and other intangible assets may be diminished and our business may be adversely affected.
Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. relies and expects to continue to rely on a combination of confidentiality agreements with its employees, consultants, and third parties with whom it has relationships, as well as trademark, copyright, patent, trade secret, and domain name protection laws, to protect its proprietary rights. The Company will be filing in the United States various applications for protection of certain aspects of its intellectual property. However, third parties may knowingly or unknowingly infringe our proprietary rights, may challenge proprietary rights held by us and pending and future trademark and patent applications may not be approved. In addition, effective intellectual property protection may not be available in every country in which we intend to operate in the future. In any or all of these cases, we may be required to expend significant time and expense in order to prevent infringement or to enforce our rights. Although we are taking measures to protect our proprietary rights, there can be no assurance that others will not offer products or concepts that are substantially similar to those of Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. and compete with our business. If the protection of our proprietary rights is inadequate to prevent unauthorized use or appropriation by third parties, the value of our brand and other intangible assets may be diminished and competitors may be able to more effectively mimic our service and methods of operations. Any of these events could have an adverse effect on our business and financial results.
Our financial results will fluctuate in the future, which makes them difficult to predict.
Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. financial results may fluctuate in the future. Additionally, we have a limited operating history with the current scale of our business, which makes it difficult to forecast future results. As a result, you should not rely upon the Company’s past financial results as indicators of future performance. You should take into account the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by rapidly growing companies in evolving markets. Our financial results in any given quarter can be influenced by numerous factors, many of which we are unable to predict or are outside of our control, including:
| | |
| ▪ | Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. ability to maintain and grow its client base; |
| | |
| ▪ | Our clients may suffer downturns, financial instability or be subject to mergers or acquisitions; |
| | |
| ▪ | The development and introduction of new products by Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. or its competitors; |
| | |
| ▪ | Increases in marketing, sales, service and other operating expenses that we may incur to grow and expand our operations and to remain competitive; |
- 11 -
| | |
| ▪ | Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. ability to maintain gross margins and operating margins; |
| | |
| ▪ | Changes affecting our suppliers and other third-party service providers; |
| | |
| ▪ | Adverse litigation judgments, settlements, or other litigation-related costs; and |
| | |
| ▪ | Changes in business or macroeconomic conditions including regulatory changes. |
We have limited experience in operating our machines in crowded environments and increased interactions may lead to collisions, possible liability and negative publicity.
Our robots operate autonomously in environments that are surrounded by various moving and stationary physical obstacles and by humans. Such environments are prone to collisions, unintended interactions and various other incidents, regardless of our technology. Therefore, there is a possibility that our machines may be involved in a collision with any number of such obstacles. Our machines contain a number of advanced sensors that effectively prevent any such incidents and are intended to stop any motion at the detection of intervening objects. Nonetheless, real-life environments, especially those in crowded areas, are unpredictable and situations may arise in which the machines may not perform as intended. Recent highly publicized incidents of autonomous vehicle and human interactions have focused consumer attention on the safety of such systems.
There can be no assurance that a collision, with property or with humans, will not occur, which could damage the robot, or lead to personal injury or property damage and may subject us to lawsuits. Moreover, any such incident, even without damage, may lead to adverse publicity for us. Such lawsuits or adverse publicity would negatively affect our brand and harm our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.
Economic factors generally.
The Company is subject to the general risks of the marketplace in which the Company does business. Moreover, the results of operations of the Company will depend on a number of factors over which the Company will have no control, including changes in general economic or local economic conditions, changes in supply of or demand for similar and/or competing products and services, and changes in tax and governmental regulations that may affect demand for such products and services. Any significant decline in general economic conditions or uncertainties regarding future economic prospects that affect industrial and consumer spending could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. For these and other reasons, no assurance of profitable operations can be given.
Risks Associated with Our Industry
We may face additional competition.
We are aware of a number of other companies that are developing physical security technology in the U.S. and abroad that may potentially compete with our technology and services. These or new competitors may have more resources than us or may be better capitalized, which may give them a significant advantage, for example, in offering better pricing than the Company, surviving an economic downturn or in reaching profitability. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against existing or emerging competitors. Additionally, existing private security firms may also compete on price by lowering their operating costs, developing new business models or providing other incentives.
Our ability to operate and collect digital information on behalf of our clients is dependent on the privacy laws of jurisdictions in which our machines operate, as well as the corporate policies of our clients, which may limit our ability to fully deploy our technologies in various markets.
- 12 -
Our robots collect, store and analyze certain types of personal or identifying information regarding individuals that interact with the machines. While we maintain stringent data security procedures, the regulatory framework for privacy and security issues is rapidly evolving worldwide and is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. Federal and state government bodies and agencies have in the past adopted, and may in the future adopt, laws and regulations affecting data privacy, which in turn affect the breadth and type of features that we can offer to our clients. In addition, our clients have separate internal policies, procedures and controls regarding privacy and data security with which we may be required to comply. Because the interpretation and application of many privacy and data protection laws are uncertain, it is possible that these laws may be interpreted or applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our current data management practices or the features of our products. If so, in addition to the possibility of fines, lawsuits and other claims and penalties, we could be required to fundamentally change our business activities and practices or modify our products, which could have an adverse effect on our business. Any inability to adequately address privacy and security concerns, even if unfounded, or comply with applicable privacy and data security laws, regulations, and policies, could result in additional cost and liability to us, damage our reputation, inhibit sales, and adversely affect our business. Furthermore, the costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, the laws, regulations, and policies that are applicable to the businesses of our clients may limit the use and adoption of, and reduce the overall demand for, our products. Privacy and data security concerns, whether valid or not valid, may inhibit market adoption of our products, particularly in certain industries and foreign countries. If we are not able to adjust to changing laws, regulations, our business may be harmed.
Risks Related to the Common Stock
Capital requirements
To the extent that the cash flow from operations are insufficient to fund the Company’s operations, we will be required to raise additional capital through equity or debt financing. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to shareholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve significant restrictive covenants. The Company’s failure or inability to raise capital when needed could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available on terms satisfactory to the Company, if at all.
The Company may conduct further offerings in the future, in which case your shareholdings will be diluted
The Company may rely on equity sales of common stock to fund operations. The Company may conduct further equity and/or convertible debt offerings in the future to finance operations or other projects that it decides to undertake. If common stock is issued in return for additional funds, or upon conversion or exercise of outstanding convertible debentures or warrants, the price per share could be lower than that paid by existing common stockholders. The Company anticipates continuing to rely on equity sales of common stock and issuances of convertible debt and/or warrants convertible or exercisable into shares of common stock in order to fund its business operations. If the Company issues additional shares of common stock, your percentage interest in the Company will be lower. This condition, often referred to as “dilution”, could result in a reduction in the per share value of your shares of common stock.
The trading price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.
Volatility in the trading price of our common stock may prevent you from being able to sell your shares of our common stock at prices equal to or greater than your purchase price. The trading price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly for various reasons, including:
| | |
| ▪ | our operating and financial performance and prospects; |
| | |
| ▪ | our quarterly or annual earnings or those of other companies in our industry; |
| | |
| ▪ | the public’s reaction to our press releases, other public announcements and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission; |
| | |
| ▪ | changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by research analysts who track our common stock or the stock of other companies in our industry; |
- 13 -
| | |
| ▪ | strategic actions by us or our competitors; |
| | |
| ▪ | new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business; |
| | |
| ▪ | changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations or principles; |
| | |
| ▪ | changes in general economic conditions in the U.S. and global economies or financial markets, including such changes resulting from war or incidents of terrorism; and |
| | |
| ▪ | sales of our common stock by us or members of our management team. |
In addition, in recent years, the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant impact on the trading price of securities issued by many companies. The changes frequently occur irrespective of the operating performance of the affected companies. Hence, the trading price of our common stock could fluctuate based upon factors that have little or nothing to do with our business.
The Company does not anticipate paying dividends in the future
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. Our current policy is to retain earnings to reinvest in our business. Therefore, we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company’s dividend policy will be reviewed from time to time by the Board of Directors in the context of its earnings, financial condition and other relevant factors. Until the Company pays dividends, which it may never do, its shareholders will not be able to receive a return on shares of common stock unless they sell them. In addition, there is no guarantee that our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which stockholders have purchased their shares.

Common Stock
The Registrant is authorized to issue 480,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $0.001. There were 97,087,887 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of August 28, 2017. All shares of common stock have one vote per share on all matters including election of directors, without provision for cumulative voting. The common stock is not redeemable and has no conversion or preemptive rights. The common stock currently outstanding is validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In the event of liquidation of the Registrant, the holders of common stock will share equally in any balance of the Registrant’s assets available for distribution to them after satisfaction of creditors and preferred shareholders, if any. The holders of the Registrant’s common stock are entitled to equal dividends and distributions per share with respect to the common stock when, as and if, declared by the Board of Directors from funds legally available.
The Registrant’s Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, and the applicable statutes of the state of Nevada contain a more complete description of the rights and liabilities of holders of the Registrant’s securities.
For the period ended May 31, 2017, there was no modification of any instruments defining the rights of holders of the Registrant’s common stock and no limitation or qualification of the rights evidenced by the Registrant’s common stock as a result of the issuance of any other class of securities or the modification thereof.
On March 5, 2015, the Registrant effected a 500-for-1 reverse split, upon reincorporation in Nevada. Each common shareholder received one common share in the Nevada company for every 500 common shares they held in the Florida company. Fractional shares were rounded up, and each share shareholder received at least 5 shares.
Non-cumulative voting
Holders of shares of the Registrant’s common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of the Registrant’s directors.
