Knightscope is on a long-term mission to make the United States of America the safest country in the world by deploying groundbreaking public safety technology OUR MISSION

GRAPHIC

DISRUPTION BY A.I. Our long-term strategy is to network millions of autonomous machines, combining both current and future technologies, offering a multi-faceted and comprehensive approach to public safety. Enhancing technological capabilities by an order of magnitude will improve efficiency and response times, leverage the power of AI for advanced autonomous cooperation, all while providing a scalable, cost-effective solution that can adapt to future challenges against those seeking to do harm to everyday Americans. 4

Source: (1) FBI Crime Clock and 2006 U.S. Senate hearings. This information is supplied from public sources we believe to be reliable, but we cannot guarantee their accuracy. Opportunity Public Safety is ripe for disruption by Artificial Intelligence and Robotics. Knightscope represents an opportunity to build a $30 billion market cap company that is analogous to the building of an all-new defense contractor but instead of focusing exclusively on the battlefield, we are focused on deploying groundbreaking technologies that we believe have the potential to be used by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Department of Justice, the 19,000+ law enforcement agencies and 8,000 private security firms to safeguard Americans on our soil. Crime We believe the 2.5 million law enforcement professionals and security guards, without the proper tools and technology, are woefully inadequate to safeguard 332 million Americans across 50 states. This is evidenced by the fact that crime has a $2+ trillion negative economic impact on the U.S. annually and a violent crime occurs every 26 seconds while a property crime occurs every 4 seconds.1 Technology Knightscope’s unique technology combining autonomy, robotics, AI and EV capabilities has been proven to be effective in crime fighting with nearly 3 million hours of operation in real world conditions across every time zone in America, through multiple winters and summers. Machines-in-Network We have nearly 10,000 machines-in-network today and long-term we are targeting to put over 1 million machines-in-network to assist the 2.5 million law enforcement professionals and security guards with unprecedented capabilities at their fingertips – near superhuman capabilities. We are targeting to have our machines to able to autonomously “see, feel, hear, smell, speak – and cooperate” and do more than a human could ever do and do it consistently. Clients Our initial go-to-market was focused on acquiring B2B clients including airports, casinos, commercial real estate, corporate campuses, homeowner associations, hospitals, hotels, logistics facilities, manufacturing plants, parking, public parks and schools. Recently we have been additionally focused on acquiring B2G clients such as law enforcement agencies and the U.S. Federal Government. Business Model Our Machine-as-a-Service (MaaS) business model delivers recurring revenue for a recurring societal problem with high luxury automotive per unit economics but with long-term software-as-a-service margins. We have generated over $30 million in lifetime revenue during our large-scale proof-of-concept phase and now scaling up across the country. Moat We believe that our years of practical A.I. robotic applications in the real world combined with recently receiving an Authority to Operate (“ATO”) by the U.S. Federal Government after an exhaustive 3-year cyber security review process uniquely positions Knightscope in the marketplace with a clear first mover advantage. Additionally, a unified AI driven software platform that brings together both data and autonomous cooperation from a plethora of machines and systems will provide unparalleled situational awareness, analytics, prediction and evidentiary capabilities – and a significant competitive advantage. DISRUPTION BY A.I. 5

CORE TECHNOLOGY Artificial Intelligence Knightscope has utilized AI nationwide since its founding in 2013 and well before the recent mainstream excitement. We utilize it to autonomously operate in highly dynamic outdoor and indoor environments, to autonomously recharge as well as for automated detections of people, faces, and license plates. We believe artificial intelligence is only going to accelerate our portfolio of machines to be able to “see, feel, hear, smell, speak – and cooperate”. ASR Portfolio Our Autonomous Security Robots generate over 90 terabytes of data a year and we put that into a digestible format for a human to utilize with our Knightscope Security Operations Center (KSOC) user interface software application. K1B Portfolio Our K1B lineup is a comprehensive portfolio of beacons of public safety in the form of towers, emergency phones and call boxes. Our new software application, the Knightscope Emergency Management System (KEMS), now provides users real-time data and improvements in operational efficiency. Detections Often our clients may not have a fully staffed Security Operations Center (SOC) or 911 Dispatch Center so we can monitor the machines on their behalf 24/7/365 with Knightscope+ Remote Monitoring. Additionally, we recently added an integrated or stand-alone option for hyper accurate Automated Gunshot Detection (AGD).

FUTURE TECHNOLOGY We Envision an All New AI Mission Control Software Autonomy Platform to Predict and Prevent Crime Robots Will Be Everywhere We believe the technology landscape is going to change dramatically over the coming years for public safety and the software tools used today will be replaced. A game changing opportunity exists to redefine the sector by developing an all-new AI driven software platform monitoring and managing a network of autonomous security robots, blue light emergency towers, e-phones, call boxes, aerial drones, autonomous patrol vehicles, quadrupeds, humanoids and other future technologies, enabling machines to observe, learn, reason and act – in concert or solo - to address real world public safety events in real time. Autonomous Mission Planning In the event of an actual or forecasted incident, the AI could propose alternative response plans, including the closest machines and humans for rapid deployment, optimal paths for intervention, and necessary resources, coordinating emergency services and alerting the public as needed. Utilizing robot swarming techniques will enable cross-machine autonomous cooperation. Forecast AI algorithms could analyze data streams from various machines to identify potential threats or unusual behaviors. The system could use historical data and machine learning to predict potential public safety incidents allowing preemptive action including optimal resource allocation of machines and humans. Operations Real time mission status as well as health of machines-in-network across all autonomous machines including real time data feeds, status, configuration, reporting and AI driven preventative maintenance. Integrated Neighborhood Watch Cross-platform communication integrating with external systems for sharing of critical information and coordinating responses. Multi-level user access allowing for different stakeholders including administrators, law enforcement, security, as well communities, neighborhoods, and civilian access. 7

OUTLOOK Revenue Our company has generated over $30 million in lifetime revenue and has begun to show consistent double-digit growth over the last 3 years as the technology scaled up from a large-scale proof of concept to production. We believe our recurring revenue business model for the recurring societal problem of crime and terrorism will continue to grow. Robots will be everywhere. Volume Our machines-in-network across the country combining both our ASR and K1B business is planned to exceed 10,000 during 2024. Additionally, we are working to significantly improve our manufacturing throughput this year and will maintain our focus on “Made in the USA”. Cash We seek to improve our cash position in 2024 through a variety of actions including delivering on our multi million-dollar backlog of new orders, closing on our first ever bond offering, utilizing our ATM facility as needed and improving operational efficiency. Profitability Our stretch target is to achieve profitability for the 4th quarter 2024 by improving our revenue strategy, reducing our variable costs including labor efficiencies and bill-of-material costs as well as further leveraging outsourcing of maintenance and service operations. We are reducing our fixed costs with a streamlined management team and a reduction in our facility footprint nationwide from 13 to 1 over time. Technology We seek to ramp up production of both the all-new K1 Hemisphere and the 5th generation K5 while continuing development on our all-new K7 ASR and kicking off development on our AI-driven Mission Control software application. Our mission is to make the United States of America the safest country in the world. To achieve the mission, we must have Full Spectrum Dominance over criminals and terrorists. The strategy will drive a required wide portfolio from the K1 through the K15 that are autonomous and can “see, feel, hear, smell, speak – and cooperate”. As criminals and terrorists can be anywhere, to achieve the mission, Knightscope must be everywhere. Growth Knightscope seeks to grow both organically as well as through acquisition. Where viable we are also seeking strategic and technical partnerships to drive a comprehensive and integrated portfolio of technological offerings to our clients in the private sector as well as local, state, and federal governments in the USA. $0.0 $2.0 $4.0 $6.0 $8.0 $10.0 $12.0 $14.0 2021 2022 2023 REVENUE ($mils) Architecture Future Technology CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE Mission Control User Interface KNOC Internal Tool KMACS Internal Tool SKYSCRAPER K1 Laser K1 Mindset / K1 Orb K1 Hemisphere / Globe K1 Super Tower / Heavy Duty K3 Indoor MOONRAKER K5 Outdoor K7 Multi-Terrain ZZ K8 Humanoid K9 Dog ORCA K10 Patrol K15 Tactical These figures represent management estimates and are meant for illustrative purposes.
