The Subscriber understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Act or any State Law by reason of specific exemptions under the provisions thereof, which depend in part upon the investment intent of the Subscriber and of the other representations made by the Subscriber in this Subscription Agreement. The Subscriber understands that AIT is relying upon the representations and agreements contained in this Subscription Agreement (and any supplemental information) for the purpose of determining whether this transaction meets the requirements for such exemptions.

Exhibit A
RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should carefully consider the risk factors we describe below, in the Subscription Agreement and in the SEC Documents. Although we discuss key risks in those risk factor descriptions, additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business. Our subsequent filings with the SEC may contain amended and updated discussions of significant risks. We cannot predict future risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect our financial performance.
There is no firm commitment to purchase the Shares being offered, and as a result initial investors assume additional risk.
We expect, but do not guarantee, that we will offer up to $7 million Shares in this offering. This is a best efforts, no minimum offering of Shares of our common stock being conducted solely by certain members of our management. There is no commitment by anyone to purchase any of the Shares being offered. We cannot give any assurance that any or all of the Shares will be sold. We will retain any amount of proceeds received from the sale of the Shares. Therefore, you will bear the risk that we will accept subscriptions for a nominal number of Shares. Moreover, there is no assurance that our estimate of our liquidity needs is accurate or that new business development or other unforeseen events will not occur, resulting in the need to raise additional funds. As this offering is a best efforts financing, there is no assurance that this financing will be completed or that any future financing will be affected. Initial investors assume additional risk on whether the offering will be fully subscribed and how AIT will utilize the proceeds.
The value of our shares of Circassia Pharmaceuticals, plc is volatile
We granted Circassia Pharmaceuticals, plc (“Circassia”) an exclusive royalty-bearing license to distribute, market and sell certain rights and licenses held by AIT. Circassia shall pay AIT an aggregate of $32.55 milestone payments and a significant amount of royalties. The milestone payments shall be in cash or ordinary shares of Circassia (the “Circassia Shares”), at Circassia’s option. Royalty payments shall be made in cash. Circassia Shares are traded on the AIM (a sub-market of the London Stock Exchange). The trading price of Circassia Shares could be volatile and could fluctuate widely in response to a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. If we receive Circassia Shares as the payment, we may lose significant amount of value in this stock as its market price decreases.
We have not yet filed our Annual Report for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019, and many factors could cause our actual activities and results to differ materially from the activities and results disclosed in our previously filed SEC Documents.
Risks and uncertainties, the occurrence of which could adversely affect our business, include, without limitation, the following:
● | We have incurred significant losses since our inception and anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. We are a clinical-stage company with no approved products, and have generated no revenue to date and may never generate revenue or achieve profitability. | |
● | It is highly likely that we will need to raise additional capital to meet our business requirements in the future, and such capital raising may be costly or difficult to obtain and could dilute current stockholders’ ownership interests. | |
● | We are heavily dependent on the success of our product candidates, which are in the early stages of clinical development. We cannot give any assurance that any of our product candidates will receive regulatory approval, which is necessary before they can be commercialized. |
A-1 |
● | The regulatory approval processes of the FDA and comparable foreign authorities are lengthy, time consuming and inherently unpredictable. If we are ultimately unable to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates, our business will be substantially harmed. | |
● | Medical device development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome, and results of earlier studies may not be predictive of future study results. | |
● | We are working on NTM Abscessus, which is very rare. | |
● | We are working on bronchiolitis in infants that usually is caused by the RSV virus. RSV is a seasonal virus and the length of the disease and the severity of the disease might change every year. | |
● | We are heavily dependent on the Aeronox system to conduct our trial outside the United States. | |
● | The value of the Circassia Shares at March 31, 2019, used to calculate stockholders equity in our financial statements, was at a 52-week low. |
Our delivery system is classified as a Class III medical device by the FDA and requires 510(k) or PMA approval by the FDA, which can be a rigorous, time-consuming and expensive process.
The dilution in the net tangible book value per share of the common stock you purchase is not ascertainable.
Since the offering price per Share is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock, you will suffer substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase in this offering. However, we do not have a minimum or maximum offering amount so cannot ascertain with any specificity the dilution in the net tangible book value per share of common stock until the completion of the offering.
Investors in this offering may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.
In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing our shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing common stockholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering.
If we fail to comply with the continuing listing standards of The NASDAQ Capital Market, our securities could be delisted.
Our common stock is currently traded on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “AITB.” If we fail to meet any of the continued listing standards of The NASDAQ Capital Market, our common stock could be delisted from The NASDAQ Capital Market. These continued listing standards include specifically enumerated criteria, such as:
● | a $1.00 minimum closing bid price; |
● | stockholders’ equity of $2.5 million; |
● | 500,000 shares of publicly-held common stock with a market value of at least $1 million; |
● | 300 round-lot stockholders; and |
● | compliance with NASDAQ’s corporate governance requirements, as well as additional or more stringent criteria that may be applied in the exercise of NASDAQ’s discretionary authority. |
A-2 |
If we fail to comply with NASDAQ’s continued listing standards, we may be delisted and our common stock will trade, if at all, only on the over-the-counter market, such as the OTC Bulletin Board or OTCQX market, and then only if one or more registered broker-dealer market makers comply with quotation requirements. In addition, delisting of our common stock could depress our stock price, substantially limit liquidity of our common stock and materially adversely affect our ability to raise capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Further, delisting of our common stock would likely result in our common stock becoming a “penny stock” under the Exchange Act.
Our management will have broad discretion over the use of any net proceeds from this offering, you may not agree with how we use the proceeds, and the proceeds may not be invested successfully.
Our management will have broad discretion as to the use of any net proceeds from this offering and could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of this offering. Accordingly, you will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of any proceeds from the sale of the Shares in this offering, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. It is possible that the proceeds will be invested in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for you.
The issuance and sale of the Shares could cause our stock price to decline.
Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Sale of our Shares and the potential for such sales, could cause our stock price to decline.
