PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Business Overview
Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions Inc. (formerly known as On the Move Systems Corp.) (“AITX” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Florida on March 25, 2010 and reincorporated in Nevada on February 17, 2015. On August 24, 2018, Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions Inc., changed its name from On the Move Systems Corp (“AITX”).
Robotic Assistance Devices, LLC (“RAD”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 26, 2016 as a LLC and was founded by current President Steve Reinharz. On July 25, 2017, Robotic Assistance Devices LLC converted to a C Corporation, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. through the issuance of 10,000 common shares to its sole shareholder.
On August 28, 2017, AITX completed the acquisition of RAD (the “Acquisition”), whereby AITX acquired all the ownership and equity interest in RAD for 3,350,000 shares of AITX Series E Preferred Stock and 2,450 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock. AITX’s prior business focus was transportation services, and AITX was exploring the on-demand logistics market by developing a network of logistics partnerships. As a result of the closing of the Acquisition, AITX has succeeded to the business of RAD, in which AITX purchased all the outstanding shares of capital stock of RAD. As a result, AITX’s business going forward will consist of one segment activity which is the delivery of artificial intelligence and robotic solutions for operational, security and monitoring needs.
The Acquisition was treated as a reverse recapitalization effected by a share exchange for financial accounting and reporting purposes since substantially all of AITX’s operations were disposed of as part of the consummation of the transaction. Therefore, no goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded by AITX as a result of the Acquisition. RAD is treated as the accounting acquirer as its stockholders control the Company after the Acquisition, even though AITX was the legal acquirer. As a result, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in these financial statements are those of RAD as if RAD had always been the reporting company.
AITX’s prior business focus was transportation services, and we were previously exploring the on-demand logistics market by seeking to develop a network of logistics partnerships. On August 28, 2017, AITX acquired all the outstanding shares of RAD. Following the RAD acquisition, the Company is focused on applying advanced artificial intelligence (AI) driven technologies, paired with multi-use hardware and supported by custom software and cloud services, to intelligently automate and integrate a variety of high frequency security, concierge and operational tasks.
RAD’s solutions are offered as a recurring monthly subscription, typically with a minimum 12 month subscription contract. RAD’s solutions earn over 75% gross margin over the life of each deployed asset. Specifically, RAD provides workflow automation solutions delivered through a system of hardware, software and cloud services. All elements of hardware and software design offered by RAD are 100% designed, developed and owned by RAD.
Mission
AITX’ mission is to apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to solve enterprise problems that can be categorized as expensive, repetitive and outside of the core competencies of the prospect organization.
A short list of basic examples include:
| 1. | Typical security guard related functions such as monitoring a parking lot during and after hours and responding appropriately. This scenario applies to perimeters, interior yard areas and related similar environments. |
|
|
|
| 2. | Integrated hardware/software with Artificial Intelligence driven responses, simulating and expanding on what legacy or manned solutions could perform. |
|
|
|
| 3. | Automation of common access control functions through technology utilized facial recognition and machine vision, leapfrogging most legacy solutions in use today. |
- 1 -
RAD solutions are unique in the fact they:
| 1. | Start with an AI-driven response with the easy ability to connect to manned response. |
|
|
|
| 2. | Use unique hardware purpose built by RAD for delivery of these solutions. |
|
|
|
| 3. | Deliver services through RAD-developed software and cloud services, allowing enterprise IT groups to focus on core competencies instead of maintenance of complex video and security platforms. |
RAD’s first industry focus is the $ 100B+ global security services market. (1)
RAD’s founder, Steve Reinharz, has 20+ years in various leadership/ownership roles in the security industry and was part of a successful exit to a global multinational security company in 2004. Mr. Reinharz has built a committed team of employees that have demonstrated tremendous productivity and self-sacrifice to advance the stated mission.
RAD’s current goal is to disrupt and capture a significant portion of both the human security guard market ($30B +) (2) and ‘physical security’ (cctv, access control, etc.) market ($20B +) through it’s innovative RAD solution ecosystem.

(2) https://www.statista.com/statistics/294206/revenue-of-security-services-in-the-us/
AITX Expected Acquisitions
It is expected that AITX will acquire 3 remaining complementary companies owned by Mr. Reinharz sometime before the end of fiscal year 2021. These companies will be completely rolled into AITX as-is with no special compensation to Mr. Reinharz as setout below.
BOLO Technologies, Inc., wholly owned by Mr. Reinharz, has had its limited assets of Intellectual Property and software formally integrated into RAD without necessity of any acquisition by RAD. BOLO created an innovative security-centric platform that integrates additional technologies to give security directors and law enforcement the easiest access to create, manage and track ‘Be On The Lookout’ (BOLO) alerts. ‘BOLO’ is a security industry term used to label interesting suspects such as disgruntled former employees, persons of interest wanted for questioning related to suspicious events and several other similar types of functions and services. BOLO Technologies will use advanced AI for data correlation and pattern matching and is focused on giving customers the ability to pre-empt, predict and prevent possible incidents. BOLO uses a service model similar to RAD’s robots-as-a-service model.
‘RAD Canada’, wholly owned by Mr. Reinharz, provides most of the Research & Development for RAD’s solutions. Specifically, all RAD hardware solutions are designed and developed by this entity as well as some firmware, software and cloud software elements. All but two RAD Canada resources have been absorbed into RAD.
‘RAD Group’, wholly owned by Mr. Reinharz, provides additional sales channels for AITX. This will be acquired by AITX with no compensation to Mr. Reinharz.
AITX, with these acquisitions, will enjoy the benefits of a skilled R&D group that includes skilled industrial and software engineers plus a security-focused platform that provides unique services in high demand. Mr. Reinharz will remain President of all AITX subsidiaries.
Mr. Reinharz has not taken any cash salary or earnings from RAD, AITX or any related entity since inception of the RAD in 2016.
Background - First Commercial Rugged Outdoor Security Robot
RAD was started by Mr. Reinharz in the summer of 2016. RAD originally partnered with SMP Robotics Systems Corp (SMP). and commercialized the SMP S5 Robot for the security market. RAD’s commercialization of the platform focused on integrating traditional security industry manufacturers’ solutions onto the robotics platform. After two paid Proof of Concepts for large utility companies (under NDA) and over 18 months of development and testing RAD began deployments with various Fortune 500 customers. These deployments were scheduled to begin in October 2017 but were delayed until December 2017 due to various supply chain challenges.
By March 2018 it was apparent that S5 platform promotion and development was not sustainable and RAD began to pull robots out of service.
- 2 -
The Robots were rejected by customers due to unsatisfactory reliability and some technical flaws that could not be solved despite full efforts by SMP and RAD. RAD now considers this phase of the company ‘Phase 1’ into robotics. Over 40 deployments were attempted during this period.
RAD has had no contact with SMP Robotics since April 2018.
Much of RAD’s existing convertible debt was acquired in support of the RAD/SMP robotics program.
Background – RAD’s 2nd Generation Ecosystem
RAD’s primary strategy has always been to use AI technology and modern systems to transform the security industry. Mobile robots, indoor and outdoor, are a part of that strategy. However, to completely realize the delivery of these solutions a set of ‘stationary robots’ required development.
These stationary robots launched in April 2018 with the Security Control and Observation Tower (SCOT, development of which began in August 2017. SCOT performs many of the same functions of a stationary human security guard, plus many features that human guards cannot perform, and at approximately 15% of the cost. There is no known comparable solution available today that blends technology, usability, special features and cost. This is why SCOT has growing demand and has received considerable accolades.
SCOT’s positive market reception reinvigorated RAD and the focus turned to accelerating the development of the software and cloud services that support SCOT.
SCOT runs on the RAD Software Suite™, as all RAD security solutions do. This software suite is a cloud and mobile solution that is the heart of RAD’s security solution.
After extraordinary efforts by the team, beta SCOT was first shown to customers in Ohio at the end of February 2018. This beta exposition was to test customer reception and receive final voice-of-the-customer input. Security representatives from Cincinnati Reds, Cincinnati Bengals, Cincinnati Police Departments and County of Hamilton Sheriff’s Department were shown this early SCOT and gave SCOT and the preliminary RAD Software Suite a tremendous endorsement. Feedback was incorporated into SCOT and ideas on SCOT derivatives were added to the hardware development roadmap.
At the ISC West show in April 2018 SCOT won three awards: (1) a SIA New Product Award for Law Enforcement/Guarding, (2) 2018 Secure Campus Award from Campus Security and Life Safety and (3) a ‘Govie’ award for government security solutions from Security Today.
(1) SIA’s New Product Showcase recognizes innovative products, services and solutions in electronic physical security, and SCOT™’s award comes in the Law Enforcement/Guarding Systems category. Technologies within the program are used in the protection of life and property in residential, commercial and institutional settings, displaying SCOT™’s importance in long-range human detection and acting as a force multiplier for safety and defense against outside threats.
(2) RAD’s pivot to SCOT and its future derivatives is complete and current facilities can produce a mix of up to 100 units per month with moderate additional investment in equipment and manpower.
RAD has not submitted for any awards since mid-2018 but expects future awards participation.
Currently Available Hardware Solutions
RAD’s hardware lineup has improved and expanded since initial launch in April 2018. RAD’s hardware lineup includes:
| 1. | ’SCOT 2.0’ has replaced SCOT 1.x. SCOT 1 went through three significant upgrades over the first 12 months of launch to arrive at SCOT 1.4. SCOT 1.4 features a mature software platform and a refined hardware platform. SCOT solutions have operated with over 99% uptime since inception. ’SCOT’ is an acronym for ’Security Control and Observation Tower’. It embodies and offers the full complement of solutions driven by the RAD Cloud. |
|
|
|
|
| SCOT 2.0 is a SCOT 1.4 enclosed in an appealing modern enclosure. It also features additional LCD monitors (like a Wally), curved LED panels to support visibility and flexible messaging (as opposed to SCOT 1.x flat LED panels) and an advanced locking system. SCOT 2.0 is the realization of the concepts pioneered, demonstrated and tested throughout the 1.x lineup. The SCOT lineup is indoor/outdoor rated. |
- 3 -
|
| All SCOT1.x units continue to perform and generate revenue for the company. There are no immediately plans to replace 1.x units with 2.0 units. SCOT 1.x units can be supported indefinitely under RAD’s software architecture. It is expected that in time these 1.x units will be applied to industrial applications where aesthetics are secondary to functionality. |
|
|
|
| 2. | ‘WALLY’ was announced in June 2018 in the Allied Universal Services, Inc., booth at the BOMA International Show in San Antonio. WALLY is a wall-mounted derivative of SCOT that is also indoor/outdoor rated. It’s designed to bring the RAD ecosystem to areas such as main lobbies, elevator lobbies, dock access areas and more. |
|
|
|
| 3. | ‘FRED’ was announced in September 2018 and is a complement to the RAD ecosystem by just focusing on various verified entry methods. Appropriate for office access and to be mounted on gate stanchions. FRED has since been dropped. |
|
|
|
| 4. | ‘ROSA’ was announced to specific dealers and customers in May 2019. Official general market introduction should happen by August of 2019. ROSA is an acronym for Responsive Observation Security Agent. |
|
|
|
| 5. | ‘AVA’ was announced by the company at the beginning of fiscal 2021 and replaces ‘FRED’. RAD took it’s first AVA order in June 2020 and expects to deliver it in September. AVA performs FRED tasks and much more. |
Software Solutions
RAD has created a variety of front-end and back-end software solutions to power its ecosystem. Customer facing software includes RADGUARD (on the touchscreens of RAD’s field devices) and RADSOC (Security Operations Center) and RADPMC (Property Management Center).
RAD has developed a variety of utilities that allow automatic over-the-air updates, most of which is within a back-end application called SCOT Manager.
RAD has written world class Visitor Management, Access Control and other applications instead of seeking to partner with legacy manufacturers. It is RAD’s opinion that the legacy paradigm in the physical space underserves the markets in terms of cost, functionality and integration.
RAD has recently integrated its own Video Management System into RADSOC that includes full integration to a variety of features related to security and properly management functions.
RAD’s ability to deliver easy to use, easy to obtain, and easy to support software, combined with custom workflow-automation applications, is the key to RAD’s value proposition.
Manufacturing & Assembly
RAD uses a variety of domestic and overseas machine shops for raw material procurement and machining of the required plastic and metal pieces that build RAD devices.
RAD’s sourcing has redundancy through use of multiple machine shops producing the same products for RAD.
There is no piece of any RAD device that can only be procured from one supplier.
RAD’s margins are based on current small batch production and assembly. Economies of scale will drive greater gross margin as quantities and efficiencies increase.
RAD’s primary assembly and configuration location is in Southern California. It is anticipated that as RAD outgrows its existing facility these functions will be moved out of state, most likely to mid-west location. RAD’s California location would remain as the West Coast Sales & Service Center.
Anticipated location for a comprehensive assembly location is Michigan. This location provides central access to RAD’s largest markets as well as easy access from RAD’s R&D center outside of Toronto, Canada.
Tariff Impact
Anticipated tariffs of 25% across all imported items, not yet in effect, would impact US production costs by an additional 10%. If this happens RAD anticipates absorbing this cost for US units but supplying Canadian demand from local Canadian production (instead of from the US).
- 4 -
Covid Impact
The company issued a Covid Impact notice on March 24, 2020 that can be found here: https://secureservercdn.net/198.71.233.11/48b.407.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/covidUpdate.pdf. In summary, Covid accelerated some sales and prospects and stunted others. Overall the company believes that the Covid pandemic will spur the use of innovative cost saving technology such as created by RAD. Indeed, at the time of this writing RAD is engaged in several large and high level discussions with companies actively looking to reduce cost due to the pandemic. RAD expects this to be a general activity of all companies due to the long-term impact of Covid and regardless of if a vaccine is discovered in the short term.
Roadmap
RAD announced three major hardware solutions in fiscal 2020, specifically ROAMEO, AVA and ROSA.
1) RAD announced a return to the mobile unmanned ground vehicle market at the end of July 2019. This ground drone will benefit from significant innovations during the first 12 months following launch. It’s expected these advanced applications will spawn several ‘killer apps’ that will put this unit, and the RAD Ecosystem, in high demand. Expect release in September 2021.
2) RAD announced the AVA solution as a replacement to FRED.
3) RAD released ROSA, which has subsequently become the highest volume in shortest amount of time RAD solution to date.
In fiscal 2021 RAD released one significant hardware solution and one significant software solution.
RAD released Wally 2.0 with or without the ‘Health Services Option’. Wally 2.0 adds functionality in the way of advanced notification and improved response panel. The Health Services Option includes the ability to record people’s temperature and perform appropriate action based on the person’s skin temperature. This solution has garnered significant interest to date.
RAD released it’s ‘Face Mask Detection & Alert’ software upgrade. This software now runs on all RAD units and can be activated by customers as they see fit. It’s part of RAD’s commitment to provide advanced analytics on a continuous basis.
RAD’s hardware and software have benefited from continuous significant improvements and to date has over 400,000 paid operating hours.
Team and Culture
AITX has built a strong start-up culture based on performance, sacrifice and rewards. RAD begins every interview with a review of the eight elements that comprise RAD Culture and candidates are encouraged to understand that this is not a traditional company. As a startup RAD faces challenges of limited resources and time and as such, the team members are open to multitasking and wearing multiple hats, as the situation demands, thus allowing the management team to focus on the larger goals and steer the company in the right direction. Our solid RAD team, all share in the same beliefs and core values of the Company; so we easily adjust to changes thus giving RAD an edge in the market. The core team really determines the fate of a company and RAD is no stranger to the difficulties that face a startup, such as unexpected setbacks, delays in funding or a cash crunch. At RAD the whole team has pitched in, doing whatever they can, from working to meet tight deadlines; or willing partaking in financial sacrifices; to assisting where and whenever needed, creating a core team willing to standby the company through the testing times.
RAD’s culture has provided strength throughout the difficult period of robot deployments and the transition to 2nd generation solutions.
Market Environment
RAD experience has proved that the security market is ripe for disruption. Having captured the interest of many Fortune 500 companies (names generally protected under NDA) including Microsoft, Verizon, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, among many others, no other known company has the solutions, distribution channel, reputation, sales or support model to rival RAD in the near term.
Furthermore, the launch of RAD’s mobile solutions will create additional significant distance between any would-be competitors. RAD will be a one-stop shop for proven and comprehensive mobile and stationary workflow improvement devices and systems.
- 5 -
RAD’s technology model includes a ‘new paradigm’ for the security industry: Security in a box. Every RAD solution features connection to the RAD Software Suite which is a platform for AI processing, usage analytics, cloud served video, communications interface, audit logs and much more.
Positive market reception for RAD solutions are due to the following existing conditions:
| 1. | The security guard industry is characterized by poor customer satisfaction and industry consolidation. It’s self-described to be a ‘race to the bottom’ to provide the lowest cost services to end users because generally speaking end users require some security for general crime deterrent and insurance purposes. There are 1.1M security guards in the United States and the security guard industry represents over $20B in annual sales and the average security guard bill rate is $20/hour. |
|
|
|
| 2. | Enterprise organizations’ security divisions/groups are continuously challenged to reduce cost. For example, Universal Parcel Service (UPS) spends over $120M/year in security guard services, Lockheed Martin over $60M/year and NBC Universal over $25M/year. The security guard industry has not had any significant disruption or innovation since inception. |
|
|
|
| 3. | Guarding companies struggle to offer quality service at a reasonable price. Security organizations are eagerly receptive to solutions that improve performance and reduce cost. |
|
|
|
| 4. | RAD’s device rental model allows clients to immediately save significant operating costs. With RAD’s current stationary solutions retailing from under $1/hour to $5/hour we can immediately provide substantial savings and significant additional security. |
|
|
|
| 5. | RAD’s services options allow end users to incorporate or fully replace their existing Security Operation Centers with RAD solutions. This integrated with RAD’s “Solutions-As-A-Service” Rental Program offers customized options to help organizations achieve operational and security goals. |
The above conditions speak to the historical lack of innovation in the guarding market largely driven by the lack of development of truly revolutionary systems. This market is now positioned for major disruption with the application of AI based solutions, as lead by RAD. As such, the interest in RAD solutions has been overwhelming. Major companies, including the U.S. largest guarding company Allied Universal Services, are aligning with RAD to offer these services to their customer base.
Prospective ROAMEO Impact
The Company’s release of ROAMEO bring it into comparison with Knightscope, a Palo Alto based robotics company in business since 2012. RAD’s approach is very different than Knightscope’s on all elements of technology. RAD believes that it’s pricing is up to 45% less expensive than the K5.
RAD expects that a small amount of ROAMEO orders, which RAD believes it has ‘queued up’ will make a significant impact on RAD’s financial performance and create momentum for significant adoption of the entire RAD lineup.
RAD Solutions Customer Acceptance
RAD end users include one Top 10 company and many Fortune 500 companies. RAD is currently deployed in logistics, commercial real estate, healthcare and retail industries. If RAD deployed to only 5% of any one of these industries facilities the company would enjoy tremendous profitability.
Due to the nature of existing non-disclosure agreements RAD does not normally share customer lists or specific deployment details.
RAD’s batch production of SCOTs & WALLYS have all been committed prior to the completion of the production cycle, with an average delivery time of 45 days. RAD has set a goal, predicated on regular demand, to reduce delivery time to 15 days.
RAD Industry Leadership Role
Mr. Reinharz has earned a prominent role as a spokesperson for AI and change in the security industry. He has lectured and participated in several panels for some of the security industries largest events and organizations. Mr. Reinharz sits on the SIA’s Autonomous Working Group committee which is dedicated to helping shape the industry and support progressive legislation. Most recently Mr. Reinharz provided NY City’s ASIS CPP group a lecture that qualified as a continuing education credit.
- 6 -
RAD gets exposure to prospects, customers and investors through Mr. Reinharz’s efforts to educate the security market. Blogs and industry published articles can be found in the news section of www.roboticassistancedevices.com
It is expected that Mr. Reinharz continues his promotion of the new paradigm for the next few years until adoption is widespread.
Financing
RAD has entered into three royalty revenue agreements and taken on limited additional direct debt to sustain operations and research and development as the company drives towards positive cash flow. Furthermore Steve Reinharz has provided over an additional $250,000 plus 100% deferred earnings during this rebuilding period. Steve Reinharz has received no cash salary and has pledged to receive no salary payouts until RAD has positive cash flow. All RAD employees have also made financial contributions and sacrifices during this period of focus on profitability.
However, positive cash flow cannot fund the pace of expected deployments. As such RAD has been working on alternative funding options. The expected success and durability of RAD’s solutions, and depth and breadth of the sales funnel has attracted the attention of various asset funding companies.
RAD is engaged in supplemental financing efforts based on existing and future streams of revenue that will provide additional non-dilutive funding to the company. As these efforts mature updates will be issued or shared in the relevant filings.
Go To Market Strategy
RAD’s strategy continues to focus on creation and support of a strong dealer channel. This affords multiple benefits to RAD with few downsides. RAD has successfully integrated through the largest US guarding company and recently signed another top 3 guarding company as a RAD dealer. Furthermore, RAD has been signing up and developing mid-sized and smaller dealers. RAD is on track to develop a focused group of dealers of which most will exclusively represent RAD solutions.
Supplemental to that RAD will, under certain circumstances, accept subscriptions directly from end users. These situations are largely characterized by the end user not having a guarding company, having a guarding company that RAD does not want as a dealer or other extenuating circumstances. RAD has no desired ratio of dealer vs direct subscriptions. Dealer subscriptions remain the primary focus.
Competition
RAD has no direct competition save for one immediate competitor and one potential competitor..
RAD is considered part of the ‘drones’ category of the security industry although at RAD we consider ourselves to be in the workflow automation industry.
RAD deliberately restricts information that is public for three main reasons:
| 1. | Usually activities are covered by mutual non-disclosure agreements and RAD generally will not ask for permission to publicize customer activities. |
|
|
|
| 2. | These are generally security applications and most companies prefer to not advertise the details of their security systems. |
|
|
|
| 3. | Until RAD hits the ‘tipping point’ we prefer to keep our solutions stealthy to some extent so as not to give our would-be competitors tips to copy us. |
It is anticipated that at some point some competition may enter the market. RAD seeks to maintain a 2+ year competitive advantage through a broad line of hardware solutions, the fastest and smoothest user interface and the strongest feature set with the most mature back-end. Furthermore RAD seeks to expand its sales staff and become the dominant incumbent in this new market that it has created.
Employees
As of June 17, 2020 we have 1 employee, 17 full time contract employees and 4 part time contract employees. None of our employees are represented by a union. We consider our employee relations to be excellent.

Market Information
AITX’s common stock began trading on the “Over the Counter” Bulletin Board (“OTC”) under the symbol “AITX” in June 2011 and as AITX on August 24, 2018. The following table sets forth, for the period indicated, the prices of the common stock in the over-the-counter market, as reported and summarized by OTC Markets Group, Inc. On August 24, 2018, the Company undertook a 100:1 reverse stock split and on March 27, 2020 a 10,000:1 reverse split.

Holders of Common Stock
As of June 18, 2020, there were 65 holders of AITX’s common stock of which 15 were active. The number of foregoing holders does not include beneficial owners of common stock whose shares are held in the names of banks, brokers, nominees or other fiduciaries.

Our 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 our securities.
During the year ended February 28, 2020 and 2019, there was no modification of any instruments defining the rights of holders of the Company’s common stock and no limitation or qualification of the rights evidenced by the Company’s common stock as a result of the issuance of any other class of securities or the modification thereof.
On March 5, 2015, AITX effected a 500-for-1 reverse split, upon its 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.
On August 24, 2018, the Company undertook a 100:1 reverse stock split and on March 27, 2020 the Company undertook a 10,000:1 reverse stock split. The share capital has been retrospectively adjusted accordingly to reflect this reverse stock split, except for the conversion price of certain convertible notes as the conversion price is not subject to adjustment from forward and reverse stock splits.
Non-cumulative voting
Holders of shares of the Company’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 our directors.

On August 28, 2017, AITX entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with RAD and Steve Reinharz, as sole stockholder of RAD. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, AITX acquired, on August 28, 2017, 10,000 shares of RAD’s common stock, representing all of RAD’s issued and outstanding capital stock, from Mr. Reinharz in exchange for the issuance by AITX of (i) 3,350,000 shares of our Series E Preferred Stock and, (ii) 2,450 shares of our Series F Convertible Preferred Stock. In connection with the foregoing, the Registrant relied upon the exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Regulation D thereunder.
During the period from June 1, 2017 through July 25, 2017, AITX issued 8,922,279 shares of common stock upon cashless exercise of warrants held by one of the Company’s lenders who also converted $3,358 in interest and principal for 395,667 shares for a total of 9,317,946 shares issued.
On July 8, 2017, AITX issued a convertible note payable for $200,000 which bears interest at 8% per annum and is due July 6, 2018. The note is convertible into common stock of the Company at a 40% discount to the lowest trading price in during the 20 trading days prior to conversion.
In connection with the foregoing, the Registrant relied upon the exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Regulation D thereunder.
On February 16, 2017, AITX closed on a Share Purchase Agreement with Capital Venture Holdings LLC (“Capital Venture”), a Wyoming Limited Liability Company, whereby AITX issued Capital Venture 1,000 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, representing all of the issued and outstanding shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock to Capital Venture in consideration for $5,000. Mr. Garett Parsons is the sole and managing member of Capital Venture.
In connection with the foregoing, AITX relied upon the exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Regulation D thereunder.
Penny Stock Regulations
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Our Common Stock falls within the definition of penny stock and therefore is subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000, or annual incomes exceeding $200,000 individually, or $300,000, together with their spouse). For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser’s prior written consent to the transaction. Additionally, for any transaction, other than exempt transactions, involving a penny stock, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. In addition, the broker-dealer must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the “penny stock” rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our Common Stock and may affect the ability of investors to sell their Common Stock in the secondary market. In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit the investors’ ability to buy and sell our stock.
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Registrant and Affiliated Purchasers
We have not repurchased any shares of our common stock during the fiscal year ended February 29, 2020.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
Not applicable.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this report. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the Risk Factors, Forward-Looking Statements and Business sections in this report. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.
Overview
AITX was incorporated in Florida on March 25, 2010. AITX reincorporated into Nevada on February 17, 2015. AITX’ fiscal year end is February 28 (February 29 during leap year). AITX is located at 701 North Green Valley Parkway, Suite 200 Henderson, Nevada, 89074, and our telephone number is 702-990-3271.
On August 28, 2017, AITX entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with RAD and Steve Reinharz, as sole stockholder of RAD. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, AITX acquired, on August 28, 2017, 10,000 shares of RAD’s common stock, representing all of RAD’s issued and outstanding capital stock, from Mr. Reinharz in exchange for the issuance by AITX of (i) 3,350,000 shares of its Series E Preferred Stock and, (ii) 2,450 shares of its Series F Convertible Preferred Stock. As a result of the RAD acquisition, RAD is a wholly owned subsidiary of AITX. As a result of the closing of the RAD acquisition, AITX has succeeded to the business of RAD, in which it purchased all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of RAD. As a result, AITX’ business going forward will consist of one segment activity which is the delivery of artificial intelligence and robotic solutions for operational, security and monitoring needs.
The RAD acquisition is being treated as a reverse recapitalization effected by a share exchange for financial accounting and reporting purposes since substantially all of our prior operations were disposed of as part of the consummation of the transaction and therefore no goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded. RAD is treated as the accounting acquirer as its stockholders control the Company after the RAD Acquisition, even though the Company was the legal acquirer. As a result, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in these financial statements are those of RAD as if RAD had always been the reporting company.
AITX’s prior business focus was transportation services, and we were previously exploring the on-demand logistics market by seeking to develop a network of logistics partnerships. Following the RAD acquisition described above, the Company took on RAD’s business of applying advanced artificial intelligence (AI) driven technologies, paired with multi-use hardware and supported by custom software and cloud services, to intelligently automate and integrate a variety of high frequency security, concierge and operational tasks.
RAD’s solutions are offered as a recurring monthly subscription, typically with a minimum 12 month subscription contract. RAD’s solutions earn over 75% gross margin over the life of each deployed asset. Specifically, RAD provides workflow automation solutions delivered through a system of hardware, software and cloud services. All elements of hardware and software design offered by RAD are 100% designed, developed and owned by RAD.

Operating expenses |

Our operating expenses were comprised of general and administrative expenses, research and development, depreciation and amortization, and a loss on impairment of fixed assets. General and administrative expenses consisted primarily of professional services, automobile expenses, advertising, salaries and wages, travel expenses and rent. Our operating expenses during the years ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019 were $1,959,814 and $3,524,545, respectively. The overall $1,564,731 decrease in operating expenses was primarily attributable to the following increases in operating expenses of:
- 18 -
● | Research and development expenses decreased by $208,451 which resulted from a decrease in R&D Consultation fees from RAD Canada of $388,289 because of higher initial development costs in 2019 on the new products Scott, Wally and Rosa. This decrease is partially offset by other fees due to the elimination of employees in 2020 whose work is being now carried out by subcontractors. |
|
|
● | General and administrative expenses decreased by $1,259,222 primarily due to the following decreases: |
| - | Professional fees decreased by $178,102 due to higher reporting costing 2019 as a result of multiple auditor changes and amendments. |
|
|
|
| - | Wages, salaries and payroll levies decreased by $861,472 as a result of eliminating employees and shifting work to subcontractors. |
|
|
|
| - | Rent decreased by $124,940 as a result of terminating three leases in 2019. |
|
|
|
| - | Trade shows and travel decreased by $153,657 as a result of larger marketing push in 2019 on the release of the new products. |
|
|
|
| - | In general , due to limited resources the Company had to reduce expenditures in all areas of the business. These reductions as well as those mentioned above were partially offset by increase in subcontractor fees of $343,080 that were a result replacing the employees as mentioned above. |
● | Depreciation and amortization decreased by $12,371 due to lower fixed assets. |
|
|
● | Gain loss on disposal /impairment of fixed assets increased by $84,687 sue to 2019 write downs and disposals in 2020 that generated small gains. |
Other income (expense)
Other income (expense) consisted of the change of fair value of derivative instruments interest expense and gain on settlement of debt. Other income (expense) during the years ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, was ($4,430,843) and $19,509,231, respectively. The $23,940,074 decrease in other income was primarily attributable to the change in the fair value of derivatives and interest expense, including interest expense related to derivative liability in excess of the face value of debt and gain on settlement of debt. Fair value of derivatives was largely affected by the decrease in the market price of the Company’s common stock during the current period.
● | Change in fair value of derivative liabilities decreased by $27,166,158 due to the re-valuation of derivative liability on convertible notes based on the change in the market price of the Company’s common stock. |
|
|
● | Interest expense decreased by $3,281,927 due to a decrease in interest expense related to the derivative liability in excess of debt and the amortization of discounts , partially offset by an increase in interest expense on debt. |
|
|
● | Gain on settlement of debt decreased by $55,843 due to a decrease in the number and amount of debt settlements this year over last year. |
The Company’s loss from operations for the year ended February 29, 2020 was $1,782,806, which represented a reduction in loss of $1,631,590 compared to $3,414,386 for the year ended February 28, 2019. The reduction is due to higher revenues and lower in expense in fiscal 2020 as explained above. Note that the Company had a net loss of 6,213,649 for the year ended February 29, 2020 as compared to net income of $16,094,835 for the year ended February 28, 2019. This change is mostly attributable to the change in fair value of derivatives described in other income above.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
- 19 -
For the year ended February 29, 2020, the Company had negative cash flow from operating activities of $1,757,023. As of February 29, 2020 the Company has an accumulated deficit of $25,622,843 and negative working capital of $19,589,008. Management does not anticipate having positive cash flow from operations in the near future. These factors raise a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months following the issuance of these financial statements.
The Company does not have the resources at this time to repay its credit and debt obligations, make any payments in the form of dividends to its shareholders or fully implement its business plan. Without additional capital, the Company will not be able to remain in business.
Management has plans to address the Company’s financial situation as follows:
In the near term, management plans to continue to focus on raising the funds necessary to implement the Company’s business plan. Management will continue to seek out debt financing to obtain the capital required to meet the Company’s financial obligations. There is no assurance, however, that lenders will continue to advance capital to the Company or that the new business operations will be profitable. The possibility of failure in obtaining additional funding and the potential inability to achieve profitability raises doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any outstanding off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency forward contracts. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or that engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.
Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
In order to prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States, management must make estimates , judgements and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and determine whether contingent assets and liabilities, if any , are disclosed in the financial statements. The ultimate resolution of issues requiring these estimates and assumptions could differ significantly from resolution currently anticipated by management and on which the financial statements are based. The most significant estimates included in these consolidated financial statements are those associated with the assumptions used to value derivative liabilities.
Revenue Earning Devices
Revenue earning devices are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 48 months. The Company continually evaluates revenue earning devices to determine whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful life or whether the devices should be evaluated for possible impairment. The Company uses a combination of the undiscounted cash flows and market approaches in assessing whether an asset has been impaired. The Company measures impairment losses based upon the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the respective assets which range from three to five years. Major repairs or improvements are capitalized. Minor replacements and maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend asset lives are expensed currently.
Computer equipment |
| 3 years |
Office equipment |
| 4 years |
Vehicles |
| 3 years |

| 5 years, the life of the lease |
The Company periodically evaluates the fair value of fixed assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Upon retirement or other disposition of fixed assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognized in income.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed in the period they are incurred in accordance with ASC 730, Research and Development unless they meet specific criteria related to technical, market and financial feasibility, as determined by Management, including but not limited to the establishment of a clearly defined future market for the product, and the availability of adequate resources to complete the project. If all criteria are met, the costs are deferred and amortized over the expected useful life or written off if a product is abandoned. At February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, the Company had no deferred development costs.

The Company has entered into transactions, as more fully described in footnote 10, in which it has received funding from investors in exchange for which it will make payments to those investors based on the level of sales of certain revenue categories, generally based on a percentage of sales for those certain revenues. The Company determines whether these agreements constitute sales of future revenues or are in substance debt based on the facts and circumstances of each agreement, with the following primary criteria determinative of whether the agreement constitutes a sale of future revenues or debt:
| ● | Does the agreement purport, in substance, to be a sale |
| ● | Does the Company have continuing involvement in the generation of cash flows due the investor |
| ● | Is the transaction cancellable by either party through payment of a lump sum or other transfer of assets |
| ● | Is the investors rate of return implicitly limited by the terms of the agreement |
| ● | Does the Company’s revenue for a reporting period underlying the agreement have only a minimal impact on the investor’s rate of return |
| ● | Does the investor have recourse relating to payments due |
In the event a transaction is determined to be a sale of future revenues, it is recorded as deferred revenue and amortized using the sum-of-the-revenue method. In the event a transaction is determined to be debt, it is recorded as debt and amortized using the effective interest method. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has determined that all such agreements are debt.
Revenue Recognition
ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, supersedes the revenue recognition requirements and industry specific guidance under Revenue Recognition (Topic 605). Topic 606 requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Topic 606 defines a five-step process that must be evaluated and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under existing accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The Company adopted Topic 606 on March 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. Under the modified retrospective method, prior period financial positions and results will not be adjusted. There was no cumulative effect adjustment recognized as a result of this adoption. While the Company does not expect fiscal year 2020 net earnings to be materially impacted by revenue recognition timing changes, Topic 606 requires certain changes to the presentation of revenues and related expenses beginning March 1, 2018. Refer to Note 5 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers for additional information.
Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity
The Company relies on the guidance provided by ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, to classify certain redeemable and/or convertible instruments. The Company first determines whether a financial instrument should be classified as a liability. The Company will determine the liability classification if the financial instrument is mandatorily redeemable, or if the financial instrument, other than outstanding shares, embodies a conditional obligation that the Company must or may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares.
Once the Company determines that a financial instrument should not be classified as a liability, the Company determines whether the financial instrument should be presented between the liability section and the equity section of the balance sheet (“temporary equity”). The Company will determine temporary equity classification if the redemption of the financial instrument is outside the control of the Company (i.e. at the option of the holder). Otherwise, the Company accounts for the financial instrument as permanent equity.
Initial Measurement
The Company records its financial instruments classified as liability, temporary equity or permanent equity at issuance at the fair value, or cash received.
Subsequent Measurement – Financial Instruments Classified as Liabilities
The Company records the fair value of its financial instruments classified as liabilities at each subsequent measurement date. The changes in fair value of its financial instruments classified as liabilities are recorded as other income (expenses).
- 22 -
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC Topic 820”) provides a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs).
The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820 are described as follows:
| ● | Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date. |
|
|
|
| ● | Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
|
|
|
| ● | Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability. |
Measured on a Recurring Basis

See Note 12 for specific inputs used in determining fair value.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and advances, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS give effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options and/or warrants. Diluted EPS excluded all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
- 23 -
Basic loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed in a manner similar to the basic loss per share, except the weighted-average number of shares outstanding is increased to include all common shares, including those with the potential to be issued by virtue of convertible debt and other such convertible instruments. Diluted loss per share contemplates a complete conversion to common shares of all convertible instruments only if they are dilutive in nature with regards to earnings per share.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
See discussion of the adoption of ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, above.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Modification Accounting for Share-Based Payment Arrangements. The standard amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements and provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under ASC 718. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. There was no impact on the financial statements of adopting this new standard on March 1, 2018.
On March 1, 2019 the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Under ASU 2016-02, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: 1) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and 2) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 but does not expect any material impact on the financial statements because the leases commencing March 1, 2019 are month to month.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 was issued to provide more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and changes the loss impairment methodology. ASU 2016-13 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 using a modified retrospective adoption method. A prospective transition approach is required for debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized before the effective date. The Company is currently assessing the impact this accounting standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures. The Company will adopt this March 1, 2020.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We do not have any financial instruments that are exposed to significant market risk. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents in bank deposits and short-term, highly liquid money market investments. A hypothetical 100-basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates would not have a material impact on the fair value of our cash equivalents securities, or our earnings on such cash equivalents.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
See Index to Financial Statements and Financial Statement Schedules appearing on pages F-1 through F-31 of this annual report on Form 10-K.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
On October 31, 2019, Fruci & Associates II, PLLC (“Fruci PLLC”) resigned (‘Termination”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions Inc. (the “Company”). The Board of Directors of the Company approved and ratified the Termination and the engagement (“Engagement”) of LJ Soldinger & Associates LLC (“LJ Soldinger”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm. The Engagement is effective immediately.
From May 13, 2019 through October 31, 2019, there were (i) no disagreements (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Company and Fruci PLLC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.
- 24 -
On May 13, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company approved and ratified the engagement of Fruci PLLC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective immediately, and dismissed Marcum LLP (“Marcum LLP”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
From October 18, 2018 through May13, 2019, there were (i) no disagreements (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Company and Marcum LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.
On October 18, 2018, the Company engaged Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) as its independent registered public accountants. This engagement occurred in connection with the Company’s prior independent public accountants, GBH CPAs, PC (“GBH”) resigning, effective July 1, 2018, as a result of combining its practice with Marcum. The engagement of Marcum has been approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of February 29, 2020, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of February 28, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Limitations on Systems of Controls
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. To address the material weaknesses identified in our evaluation, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:
• | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; |
|
|
• | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and |
|
|
• | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
- 25 -
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
As of February 29, 2020, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013 framework) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of U.S. GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: lack of a functioning audit committee; lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors; inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and, management is dominated by a single individual. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of February 29, 2020.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
This report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No changes were made to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended February 28, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
None.
PART III
ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The following table sets forth the names, positions and ages of our directors and executive officers as of the date of this report. Our directors serve for one year and until their successors are elected and qualified. Our officers are elected by the board of directors to a term of one year and serve until their successor is duly elected and qualified, or until they are removed from office. The board of directors has no nominating, auditing or compensation committees.
Name |
| Age |
| Position(s) |
Garett Parsons |
| 36 |
| President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Director |
Biographical information concerning our director and executive officer listed above is set forth below.
- 26 -
Garett Parsons. Mr. Parsons has served as our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and member of our board of directors since February 2017. Mr. Parsons has over 10 years of financial consulting for both private and public equity markets. Mr. Parsons has extensive experience in the field of asset valuation, funding structures and public release document generation. His education includes a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science/Economics from California State University Sacramento and an Associate of Arts in Liberal Studies/ Business San Joaquin Delta College and West Hills College.
There are no family relationships between any of the executive officers and directors. During the past 10 years, Mr. Parsons was involved in any of the legal proceedings listed in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K. There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Parsons and any other person pursuant to which he was or is to be selected as an executive officer or director.
Board Committees and Director Independence
As Mr. Parsons serves as our sole director, we do not have a separately designated audit committee, compensation committee or nominating and corporate governance committee. The functions of those committees are being undertaken by our sole director. Because we do not have any independent directors and have only one director, our sole director believes that the establishment of committees of the Board would not provide any benefits to our company and could be considered more form than substance.
We currently do not have any non-employee or independent directors, as such term is defined in the listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market, and we do not anticipate appointing additional directors in the near future.
Our sole director is not an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of Item 401(e) of Regulation S-K. As with most small, early stage companies until such time our company further develops its business, achieves a stronger revenue base and has sufficient working capital to purchase directors and officer’s insurance, the Company does not have any immediate prospects to attract independent directors. When the Company is able to expand our Board of Directors to include one or more independent directors, the Company intends to establish an Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. It is our intention that one or more of these independent directors will also qualify as an audit committee financial expert. Our securities are not quoted on an exchange that has requirements that a majority of our Board members be independent, and the Company is not currently otherwise subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our Board of Directors include “independent” directors, nor are we required to establish or maintain an Audit Committee or other committee of our Board of Directors.
Procedures for Nominating Directors
There have been no material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to the Board since the most recently completed fiscal quarter. We do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates that may be recommended by our stockholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor has our sole director established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees. We have not adopted a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our stockholders, including the procedures to be followed. Our sole director has not considered or adopted any of these policies, as we have never received a recommendation from any stockholder for any candidate to serve on our Board of Directors. Given our relative size and lack of directors and officers insurance coverage, we do not anticipate that any of our stockholders will make such a recommendation in the near future.
While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all current members of our Board will participate in the consideration of director nominees.
Director Qualifications
Mr. Parsons was appointed to our board in February 2017. Mr. Parsons has significant operational experience in our industry and brings both a practical understanding of the industry and as well as hands-on experience in our business sector to our board and a greater understanding of certain of the challenges we face in executing our growth strategy.
Code of Ethics and Business Conduct
We have adopted a code of ethics meeting the requirements of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We believe our code of ethics is reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct; provide full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in public reports; comply with applicable laws; ensure prompt internal reporting of violations; and provide accountability for adherence to the provisions of the code of ethics.
- 27 -
Director Compensation
Mr. Parsons, our sole director, does not receive any additional compensation for his services as a director. We reimburse our directors for all reasonable ordinary and necessary business-related expenses, but we did not pay director’s fees or other cash compensation for services rendered as a director during the years ended February 28, 2019 and February 29, 2018 to any of the individuals serving on our Board during that period. We have no standard arrangement pursuant to which our directors are compensated for their services in their capacity as directors. We may pay fees for services rendered as a director when and if additional directors are appointed to the Board of Directors.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of our common shares and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations that no other reports were required, and to the best of our knowledge, we believe that all of our officers, directors, and owners of 10% or more of our common stock filed all required Forms 3, 4, and 5.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
At February 29, 2020, AITX had 418,415 shares of its common stock issued and outstanding. The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of February 29, 2020, and reflects:
● | each of our executive officers; |
|
|
● | each of our directors; |
|
|
● | all of our directors and executive officers as a group; and |
|
|
● | each stockholder known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding shares of common stock. |
Information on beneficial ownership of securities is based upon a record list of our stockholders and we have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. We believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock that they beneficially own, subject to applicable community property laws, except as otherwise provided below.

Beneficial ownership also includes shares of stock subject to options and warrants currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the date of this table. In determining the percent of common stock owned by a person or entity as of the date of this Report, (a) the numerator is the number of shares of the class beneficially owned by such person or entity, including shares which may be acquired within 60 days on exercise of warrants or options and conversion of convertible securities, and (b) the denominator is the sum of (i) the total shares of common stock outstanding on as of July 22, 2020 195,549,3435 shares, and (ii) the total number of shares that the beneficial owner may acquire upon exercise of the derivative securities. Unless otherwise stated, each beneficial owner has sole power to vote and dispose of its shares. |

(3) | Mr. Parsons is the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and owns 1,000,000 shares of our Series E Preferred Stock and 1,000 shares of our Series F Preferred Stock. If Mr. Parsons converted the 1,000 shares of the Company’s Series F Preferred stock, he would receive 195,549,343 shares of the Company’s common stock, which is included in the chart above as if such conversion has occurred. Further, the outstanding shares of Series E preferred stock have the right to take action by written consent or vote based on the number of votes equal to twice the number of votes of all outstanding shares of common stock. As a result, the holder of Series E preferred stock has 2/3rds of the voting power of all shareholders at any time corporate action requires a vote of shareholders. |

(4) | Steve Reinharz is the CEO of RAD and is the holder of (i) 3,350,000 shares of our Series E Preferred Stock and, (ii) 2,450 shares of our Series F Convertible Preferred Stock. If Mr. Reinharz converted the 2,450 shares of the Company’s Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, he would receive 479,095,890 shares of the Company’s common stock, which is included in the chart above as if such conversion has occurred. Further, the outstanding shares of Series E preferred stock have the right to take action by written consent or vote based on the number of votes equal to twice the number of votes of all outstanding shares of common stock. As a result, the holder of Series E preferred stock has 2/3rds of the voting power of all shareholders at any time corporate action requires a vote of shareholders. |
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRMS
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of February 29, 2020, the related consolidated statement of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year ended February 29, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of February 29, 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended February 29, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2, the Company has a significant working capital deficiency, incurred significant operating and cash flow losses and needs to raise additional capital to sustain operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might become necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for revenue recognition in accordance with the adoption of new lease accounting standards within ASC 842.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions Inc. (“the Company”) as of February 28, 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows the year ended February 28, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of February 28, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended February 28, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit, negative working capital, and management does not anticipate positive cash flows in the near future. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions Inc. (formerly known as On the Move Systems Corp.) (“AITX” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Florida on March 25, 2010 and reincorporated in Nevada on February 17, 2015. On August 24, 2018, Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions Inc., changed its name from On the Move Systems Corp (“OMVS”).
Robotic Assistance Devices, LLC (“RAD”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 26, 2016 as a LLC. On July 25, 2017, Robotic Assistance Devices LLC converted to a C Corporation, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. through the issuance of 10,000 common shares to its sole shareholder.
On August 28, 2017, AITX completed the acquisition of RAD (the “Acquisition”), whereby AITX acquired all the ownership and equity interest in RAD for 3,350,000 shares of AITX Series E Preferred Stock and 2,450 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock. AITX’s prior business focus was transportation services, and AITX was exploring the on-demand logistics market by developing a network of logistics partnerships. As a result of the closing of the Acquisition, AITX has succeeded to the business of RAD, in which AITX purchased all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of RAD. As a result, AITX’s business going forward will consist of one segment activity which is the delivery of artificial intelligence and robotic solutions for operational, security and monitoring needs.
The Acquisition was treated as a reverse recapitalization effected by a share exchange for financial accounting and reporting purposes since substantially all of AITX’s operations were disposed of as part of the consummation of the transaction. Therefore, no goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded by AITX as a result of the Acquisition. RAD is treated as the accounting acquirer as its stockholders control the Company after the Acquisition, even though AITX was the legal acquirer. As a result, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in these financial statements are those of RAD as if RAD had always been the reporting company.
2. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
For the year ended February 29, 2020, the Company had negative cash flow from operating activities of $1,757,023. As of February 29, 2020 the Company has an accumulated deficit of $25,622,843 and negative working capital of $19,589,088. Management does not anticipate having positive cash flow from operations in the near future. These factors raise a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months following the issuance of these financial statements.
The Company does not have the resources at this time to repay its credit and debt obligations, make any payments in the form of dividends to its shareholders or fully implement its business plan. The Company is in default on many of its loans and obligations. Without additional capital, the Company will not be able to remain in business.
Management has plans to address the Company’s financial situation as follows:
In the near term, management plans to continue to focus on raising the funds necessary to implement the Company’s business plan. Management will continue to seek out debt financing to obtain the capital required to meet the Company’s financial obligations. There is no assurance, however, that lenders will continue to advance capital to the Company or that the new business operations will be profitable. The possibility of failure in obtaining additional funding and the potential inability to achieve profitability raises substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and in conformity with the instructions on Form 10-K of Regulation S-X and the related rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The audited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc., On the Move Experience, LLC and OMV Transports, LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
In order to prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States, management must make estimates , judgements and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and determine whether contingent assets and liabilities, if any , are disclosed in the financial statements. The ultimate resolution of issues requiring these estimates and assumptions could differ significantly from resolution currently anticipated by management and on which the financial statements are based. The most significant estimates included in these consolidated financial statements are those associated with the assumptions used to value derivative liabilities.
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit with banks and money market instruments. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high-quality, U.S. financial institutions and, to date has not experienced losses on any of its balances.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are comprised of balances due from customers, net of estimated allowances for uncollectible accounts. In determining collectability, historical trends are evaluated, and specific customer issues are reviewed on a periodic basis to arrive at appropriate allowances. There were no allowances provided for the years ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019.
Device Parts Inventory
Device parts inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the weighted average cost method. The Company records a valuation reserve for obsolete and slow-moving inventory, relying principally on specific identification of such inventory. The Company uses these device parts in the assembly of revenue earning devices (and demo devices) as well as research and development. Depending on use, the Company will transfer the parts to the corresponding asset or expense if used in research and development. A charge to income is taken when factors that would result in a need for an increase in the valuation, such as excess or obsolete inventory, are noted. At February 29, 2020 we had a valuation reserve of $160,000.
Revenue Earning Devices
Revenue earning devices are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 48 months. The Company continually evaluates revenue earning devices to determine whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful life or whether the devices should be evaluated for possible impairment. The Company uses a combination of the undiscounted cash flows and market approaches in assessing whether an asset has been impaired. The Company measures impairment losses based upon the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the respective assets which range from three to five years. Major repairs or improvements are capitalized. Minor replacements and maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend asset lives are expensed currently.
Computer equipment |
| 3 years |
Office equipment |
| 4 years |
Vehicles |
| 3 years |
Leasehold improvements |
| 5 years, the life of the lease |
The Company periodically evaluates the fair value of fixed assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Upon retirement or other disposition of fixed assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognized in income.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed in the period they are incurred in accordance with ASC 730, Research and Development unless they meet specific criteria related to technical, market and financial feasibility, as determined by Management, including but not limited to the establishment of a clearly defined future market for the product, and the availability of adequate resources to complete the project. If all criteria are met, the costs are deferred and amortized over the expected useful life or written off if a product is abandoned. At February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2018, the Company had no deferred development costs.
Contingencies
Occasionally, the Company may be involved in claims and legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of its business. The Company records a provision for a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If these estimates and assumptions change or prove to be incorrect, it could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Contingencies are inherently unpredictable, and the assessments of the value can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.
Sales of Future Revenues
The Company has entered into transactions, as more fully described in footnote 10, in which it has received funding from investors in exchange for which it will make payments to those investors based on the level of sales of certain revenue categories, generally based on a percentage of sales for those certain revenues. The Company determines whether these agreements constitute sales of future revenues or are in substance debt based on the facts and circumstances of each agreement, with the following primary criteria determinative of whether the agreement constitutes a sale of future revenues or debt:
| ● | Does the agreement purport, in substance, to be a sale |
|
|
|
| ● | Does the Company have continuing involvement in the generation of cash flows due the investor |
|
|
|
| ● | Is the transaction cancellable by either party through payment of a lump sum or other transfer of assets |
|
|
|
| ● | Is the investors rate of return implicitly limited by the terms of the agreement |
|
|
|
| ● | Does the Company’s revenue for a reporting period underlying the agreement have only a minimal impact on the investor’s rate of return |
|
|
|
| ● | Does the investor have recourse relating to payments due |
In the event a transaction is determined to be a sale of future revenues, it is recorded as deferred revenue and amortized using the sum-of-the-revenue method. In the event a transaction is determined to be debt, it is recorded as debt and amortized using the effective interest method. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has determined that all such agreements are debt.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Revenue Recognition
ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, supersedes the revenue recognition requirements and industry specific guidance under Revenue Recognition (Topic 605). Topic 606 requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Topic 606 defines a five-step process that must be evaluated and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under existing accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The Company adopted Topic 606 on March 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. Under the modified retrospective method, prior period financial positions and results will not be adjusted. There was no cumulative effect adjustment recognized as a result of this adoption. While the Company does not expect fiscal year 2019 net earnings to be materially impacted by revenue recognition timing changes, Topic 606 requires certain changes to the presentation of revenues and related expenses beginning March 1, 2018. Refer to Note 5 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers for additional information.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized when items of income and expense are recognized in the financial statements in different periods than when recognized in the tax return. Deferred tax assets arise when expenses are recognized in the financial statements before the tax returns or when income items are recognized in the tax return prior to the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also arise when operating losses or tax credits are available to offset tax payments due in future years. Deferred tax liabilities arise when income items are recognized in the financial statements before the tax returns or when expenses are recognized in the tax return prior to the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was signed into law. ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes requires companies to recognize the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities and the retroactive effects of changes in tax laws in the period in which the new legislation is enacted. The Company’s gross deferred tax assets were revalued based on the reduction in the federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 21%. A corresponding offset has been made to the valuation allowance, and any potential other taxes arising due to the Tax Act will result in reductions to the Company’s net operating loss carryforward and valuation allowance. The Company will continue to analyze the Tax Act to assess its full effects on the Company’s financial results, including disclosures, for the Company’s fiscal year ending February 29, 2020, but the Company does not expect the Tax Act to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Leases
We adopted ASU No. 2016—02—Leases (topic 842), as amended as of march 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach provided a method for recording the existing leases at adoption and in comparative periods. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedient permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard.
In addition, we elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases. The standard did not materially impact our consolidated net loss, accumulated deficit, and had no impact on cash flows.
Lease agreements are evaluated to determine if they are sales/finance leases meeting any of the following criteria at inception: (a) transfer of ownership of the underlying asset; (b) purchase option that is reasonably certain of being exercised; (c) the lease term is greater than a major part of the remaining estimated economic life of the underlying asset; or (d) if the present value of the sum of lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the lessee that has not already been included in lease payments in accordance with ASC 842-10-30-5(f) equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset.
If at its inception, a lease meets any of the four lease criteria above, the lease is classified by the Company as a sales/finance; and if none of the four criteria are met, the lease is classified by the Company as an operating lease.
F-11
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term, whereby an equal amount of rent expense is attributed to each period during the term of the lease, regardless of when actual payments are made. This generally results in rent expense in excess of cash payments during the early years of a lease and rent expense less than cash payments in the later years. The difference between rent expense recognized and actual rental payments is recorded as deferred rent and included in liabilities.
Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity
The Company relies on the guidance provided by ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, to classify certain redeemable and/or convertible instruments. The Company first determines whether a financial instrument should be classified as a liability. The Company will determine the liability classification if the financial instrument is mandatorily redeemable, or if the financial instrument, other than outstanding shares, embodies a conditional obligation that the Company must or may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares.
Once the Company determines that a financial instrument should not be classified as a liability, the Company determines whether the financial instrument should be presented between the liability section and the equity section of the balance sheet (“temporary equity”). The Company will determine temporary equity classification if the redemption of the financial instrument is outside the control of the Company (i.e. at the option of the holder). Otherwise, the Company accounts for the financial instrument as permanent equity.
Initial Measurement
The Company records its financial instruments classified as liability, temporary equity or permanent equity at issuance at the fair value, or cash received.
Subsequent Measurement – Financial Instruments Classified as Liabilities
The Company records the fair value of its financial instruments classified as liabilities at each subsequent measurement date. The changes in fair value of its financial instruments classified as liabilities are recorded as other income (expenses).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC Topic 820”) provides a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs).
The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820 are described as follows:
| ● | Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date. |
|
|
|
| ● | Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
|
|
|
| ● | Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability. |

See Note 12 for specific inputs used in determining fair value.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and advances, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS give effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options and/or warrants. Diluted EPS excluded all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Basic loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed in a manner similar to the basic loss per share, except the weighted-average number of shares outstanding is increased to include all common shares, including those with the potential to be issued by virtue of convertible debt and other such convertible instruments. Diluted loss per share contemplates a complete conversion to common shares of all convertible instruments only if they are dilutive in nature with regards to earnings per share.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 was issued to provide more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and changes the loss impairment methodology. ASU 2016-13 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 using a modified retrospective adoption method. A prospective transition approach is required for debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized before the effective date. The Company is currently assessing the impact this accounting standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures. The Company will adopt this March 1, 2020.

4. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
Revenue is earned primarily from two sources: 1) direct sales of goods or services and 2) short-term rentals. Direct sales of goods or services are accounted for under Topic 606, and short-term rentals are accounted for under Topic 842which was adopted. On March 1, 2019.
As disclosed in the revenue recognition section of Note 4 – Accounting Polices, the Company adopted Topic 606 in accordance with the effective date on March 1, 2018. Note 4 includes disclosures regarding the Company’s method of adoption and the impact on the Company’s financial statements. Revenue is recognized on direct sales of goods or services when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
Upon adoption of Topic 842, also referred to above in Note 4, the Company accounts for revenue earned from rental activities where an identified asset is transferred to the customer and the customer has the ability to control that asset.
The Company recognizes revenue from its rental operations on a straight line basis over the term for each individual robotic device, as the Company has determined that to date, its leases for these devices are classified as operating leases.

7. DEFERRED VARIABLE PAYMENT OBLIGATION
On February 1, 2019 the Company entered into an agreement with an investor whereby the investor would pay up to $900,000 (including $192,500 paid in January and February 2019) in exchange for a perpetual 9% rate payment (Payments) on the Company’s reported quarterly revenue from operations excluding any gains or losses from financial instruments (Revenues). If the total investor advances turns out to be less than $900,000, this would not constitute a breach of the agreement, rather the 9% rate would be adjusted on a pro-rata basis. The investor has agreed to pay the remaining balance in minimum $60,000 monthly installments, concluding November 30, 2019. At February 29, 2020 the investor has advanced the full $900,000.
On May 9, 2019 the Company entered into two similar arrangements with two investors:
| (1) | The investor would pay up to $400,000 in exchange for a perpetual 4% rate Payment on the Company’s reported quarterly Revenues. If the total investor advances turns out to be less than $400,000, this would not constitute a breach of the agreement, rather the 4% rate would be adjusted on a pro-rata basis. The investor has agreed to pay the remaining balance in four monthly installments of $64,111 starting July 1, 2019. At February 29, 2020, $400,000 has been paid to the Company. |
|
|
|
| (2) | The investor would pay up to $50,000 in exchange for a perpetual 1.11% rate Payment on the Company’s reported quarterly Revenues. If the total investor advances turns out to be less than $50,000, this would not constitute a breach of the agreement, rather the 1.11% rate would be adjusted on a pro-rata basis. The investor has agreed to pay the remaining balance in four monthly installments of $8,014 starting July 1, 2019. At February 29, 2020, $50,000 has been paid to the Company. |
These variable payments (Payments) are to be made 30 days after the end of each fiscal quarter. If the Payments would deplete RAD’s available cash by more than 30%, the Payments may be deferred for up to 12 months after the quarterly report at an interest rate of 6% per annum on the unpaid amount.
In the event that at least 10% of the assets of the Company are sold by the Company, the investors would be entitled to the fair market value (FMV) of all future Payments associated with the assets sold as determined by an independent valuator to be chosen by the investors. The FMV cannot exceed 30% of the total asset disposition price defined as the total price paid for the assets plus all future Payments associated with the assets sold. In the event that the common or preferred shares are sold by the Company to a third party as to effect a change in control, then the investors must be paid the FMV of all future Payments in one lump payment. The FMV cannot exceed 30% of the share disposition price defined as the total price the third party paid for the shares plus the total value of all future Payments.

At February 29, 2020 the investor has advanced $50,000 with the remainder to be advanced no later than June 30, 2020. If the total investor advances turns out to be less than $100,000, this would not constitute a breach of the agreement, rather the 1.00% rate would be adjusted on a pro-rata basis.
On April 22 , 2020 the Company entered into another similar arrangement with the (first May 9, 2019) investor above whereby the investor would advance up to $100,000 in exchange for a perpetual 1.00% rate Payment on the Company’s quarterly Revenues.

The Company retains total involvement in the generation of cash flows from these revenue streams that form the basis of the payments to be made to the investors under this agreement. Because of this, the Company has determined that the agreements constitute debt agreements. As of February 29, 2020, the Company has not yet completed its assessment of the likely cash flows under these agreements, and thus, has not yet determined the effective interest rate under these agreements. The Company expects to have completed its analysis of the expected cash flows prior to the filing of the year end February 28, 2021 filing. As of February 29, 2020, and February 28, 2019, the balances under these agreements were $1,559,000 and $192,500, (including $2,108 current portion, described below) respectively.
For the year ended February 29, 2020, $1,366,500 has been paid to the Company bringing the balance to $1,559,000 at February 29, 2020.
The Payments will first become payable on June 30, 2019 (unless otherwise indicated) based on the quarterly Revenues for the quarter ended May 31, 2019 and will accrue every quarter thereafter. As of February 29, 2020, the Company has accrued approximately $30,534 in Payments (February 28, 2019 -$2,108). No amounts have been recorded to date as interest, as the amounts are immaterial.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
Occasionally, the Company may be involved in claims and legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of its business. The Company records a provision for a liability when it believes that is both probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If these estimates and assumptions change or prove to be incorrect, it could have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Contingencies are inherently unpredictable, and the assessments of the value can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.
In April 2019 the principals of WeSecure (see Note 9) filed lawsuit in California Superior Court seeking damages for non-payment balance of sale of WeSecure assets totaling $25,000, unpaid consulting fees payable to the two principals through to September 2019 totaling $ $125,924.48, and labor code violations of $ $48,434.40 all totaling $199,358.88 plus attorney’s fees and damages.

The Company has incurred losses since inception, therefore, the Company has no federal tax liability. Additionally there are limitations imposed by certain transactions which are deemed to be ownership changes which occurred in the Company on August 28, 2017. The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carryforward has been fully reserved. The cumulative net operating loss carryforward was approximately $6,694,000 at February 29, 2020 and $2,550,000 at February 28, 2019, that is available for carryforward for federal income tax purposes and begin to expire in 2030.
Although the Company has tax loss carry-forwards, there is uncertainty as to utilization prior to their expiration. Accordingly, the future income tax asset amounts have been fully reserved by a valuation allowance.
The Company has maintained a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets at February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019. A valuation allowance is required to be recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Since the Company cannot be assured of realizing the net deferred tax asset, a full valuation allowance has been provided.
The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions at February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019 that would affect its effective tax rate. The Company does not anticipate a significant change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months. Because the Company is in a loss carryforward position, the Company is generally subject to US federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for all years for which a loss carryforward is available. If and when applicable, the Company will recognize interest and penalties as part of income tax expense.
During the fiscal years ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, the Company recognized no amounts related to tax interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and various state jurisdictions. The Company currently has no years under examination by any jurisdiction.
On August 28, 2017, the Company consummated a share exchange agreement whereby there was a change of control and any net operating losses up to the date of the transaction were forfeited.
The Company’s tax returns for the years ended February 29, 2020,and February 28, 2019, and 2018 are open for examination under Federal statute of limitations.
