PART I
Business Overview
Robotic Assistance Devices, LLC was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 26, 2016, as an LLC and was founded by current President Steve Reinharz. Mr. Reinharz, has 25+ 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 started his first security integration company in 1996, which he grew to 30+ employees before closing that company in 2003. In 2017, Robotic Assistance Devices LLC converted to a C Corporation, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (“RAD”), through the issuance of 10,000 common shares to its sole shareholder.
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, On the Move Systems Corp. changed its name to Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions Inc. (“AITX”).
In 2017, AITX acquired all the ownership and equity interests in RAD (the “Acquisition”). Before the Acquisition, AITX’s business focus had been transportation services, and AITX was exploring the on-demand logistics market by developing a network of logistics partnerships. After the Acquisition, AITX shifted its business focus to align with RAD’s mission. Since that time, AITX has been engaged in pursuing the delivery of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotic solutions for operational, security, and monitoring needs. More specifically, the Company is focused on applying advanced 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.
Since substantially all of AITX’s operations were disposed of with the transaction’s consummation, the Acquisition was treated as a reverse recapitalization effected by a share exchange for financial accounting and reporting purposes. AITX recorded no goodwill or other intangible assets 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. Therefore, the assets, liabilities, and historical operations reflected in these financial statements are those of RAD as if RAD had always been the reporting company.
RAD’s solutions are offered as a recurring monthly subscription, typically with a minimum 12-month subscription contract. RAD’s solutions are expected to earn over 75% gross margin over the life of each deployed asset when under subscription. RAD also sells units which generally limits gross margin to the 50% range. 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’s mission is to apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to solve enterprise problems categorized as expensive, repetitive, difficult to staff, and outside of the core competencies of the client 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 AI-driven responses, simulating and expanding on what legacy or manned solutions could perform. | |
| 3. | Automation of common access control functions through technology utilizing facial recognition and machine vision, leapfrogging most legacy solutions in use today. |
RAD’s first industry focus is the more than $100 billion global security services market.1 RAD’s current goal is to disrupt and capture a significant portion of both the human security guard market (over $30 billion)2 and “physical security” (video surveillance, access control, visitor management, etc.) market (over $20 billion) through its innovative RAD solution ecosystem.

- 1 -
RAD solutions are unique because they:
| 1. | Start with an AI-driven autonomous response utilizing cellular-optimized communications, while easily connecting to a human operator for a manned response, as needed. | |
| 2. | Use unique hardware purpose-built by RAD for delivery of these solutions. Various form factors have been customized to deliver this new functionality. | |
| 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. |
AITX Subsidiaries
AITX owns and operates three (3) wholly-owned subsidiaries.
| 1. | Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD I) is the primary operating company of AITX. The company holds the dealer and end-user contracts, employs all US employees, operates the California and Michigan facilities, and is the primary industry-facing entity of AITX. RAD I owns all intellectual property related to RADSoC™, RAD Mobile SOC™, RADGuard™, and their core operating architecture. RAD I owns everything related to AITX’s line of stationary devices and their manufacturing. RAD I also implements and services the devices. | |
| 2. | Robotic Assistance Devices Group, Inc. (RAD G) is RAD G is an AITX subsidiary, separate from RAD I and RAD M, created for the purposes of expected future sales through a channel that is incompatible and non-competitive with RAD I’s existing channel. RAD G is focused on the development of advanced software and electronics solutions and hopes to have a solution in the marketplace by the end of 2022. The Company expects that this first solution, which will be software-only, will be marketed through RAD I. Additional solutions under development are likely to have a direct go-to-market strategy that complements RAD I’s strategy. Development efforts for these entities are highly confidential and will remain so until marketable solutions are ready to launch. | |
| 3. | Robotic Assistance Devices Mobile, Inc. (RAD M) is RAD M is an AITX subsidiary, separate from RAD I and RAD G, created for the purposes of future developments, partnerships, and marketing in which the Company may engage in the future. RAD M is focused on the development of autonomous mobile devices, both ground-based and airborne. RAD M’s first solution, the ROAMEO™ unmanned ground vehicle, incorporates RAD M technologies related to the development of custom chassis, drive train, power management, perception, and prediction. ROAMEO features technology from RAD I to perform its functions. The Company believes that ROAMEO will bring the first outdoor, rugged, commercial security and facility robot to market. This mobile solution will complement the stationary systems. ROAMEO is manufactured, implemented, and maintained by RAD I. ROAMEO began serial production in RAD’s Michigan facility in July 2021. RAD M will continue developing additional mobility solutions that RAD I will bring to market. |
Background - First Commercial Rugged Outdoor Security Robot
Mr. Reinharz started RAD 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 proofs-of-concept 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 start in October 2017 but were delayed until December 2017 due to various supply chain challenges.
By March 2018 it was apparent that S5 platform was not sustainable and RAD began to pull robots out of service.
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. The Company attempted over 40 deployments 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. This convertible debt has largely been converted to long-term debt and warrants as shown in these financial filings.

ROAMEO will deliver on AITX’s goal of bringing the first outdoor, rugged, commercial security and facility robot to market. This mobile solution will complement the stationary systems AITX already has operating in physical security applications serving customers in a wide range of environments.
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 ultimately 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 as a stationary human security guard, plus many tasks that human guards cannot, and does so at approximately 15% of the cost. There is no known comparable solution available today that blends technology, usability, unique features, and price. SCOT received an enthusiastic response from the security market and industry accolades. SCOT’s positive reception reinvigorated RAD, which accelerated the development of the software and cloud services that support SCOT. SCOT runs on the RAD Software Suite™. This software suite is a cloud and mobile platform at the heart of all RAD security solutions.
A beta version SCOT was first shown to potential customers at the end of February 2018 in an exposition held in Ohio that tested customer reception and elicited voice-of-the-customer input. SCOT and the preliminary RAD Software Suite received a favorable customer response. Customer feedback was incorporated into SCOT, and ideas on SCOT derivatives were added to the hardware development roadmap.
In April 2018, at the ISC West, a large annual physical security event held in the United States, SCOT won three awards: (1) The Security Industry Association’s (SIA) New Product Award for Law Enforcement/Guarding3, (2) A 2018 Secure Campus Award from Campus Security and Life Safety Magazine, and (3) A ‘Govie’ award for government security solutions from Security Today Magazine.
RAD has since won numerous awards for its solutions, including:
RAD Light My Way™, Secure Campus 2022 Awards, in the categories of ‘Security & Personal Safety Devices’ & ‘Artificial Intelligence’
AVA™ 3.0 with STAN™, Security Industry Association NPS Awards, in the category of ‘Access Control Software, Hardware, Devices and Peripherals’
ROSA™ with RAD Light My Way, CBRE Innovation Challenge 2021, in the category of ‘Best Workplace Experience Solution Award’
ROSA 180™, American Security Today 2021 ASTORS Awards, in the categories of ‘Best Robotic Perimeter Protection’ & ‘Best Motion Detection Solution’
RAD’s pivot to SCOT and its future derivatives is complete, and RAD’s current facilities can produce a mix of up to 100 units per month with moderate additional investment in equipment and manpower.
Introduction of RAD’s 3rd Generation Solutions
On October 13, 2021, RAD presented it’s ‘3rd Generation’ of solutions at an investor’s open house event. The event was held after market close, live streamed and made available to any interested party. RAD debuted:
| 1. | ROSA 3.0 – RAD’s best selling device for a variety of intrusion detection, loitering, monitoring and response purposes. New design, better lighting, communication, audio, uses RAD-G’s hardware. | |
| 2. | AVA 3.0 - RAD’s guard-gate replacement device. New design, better lighting, communication, audio, uses RAD-G’s hardware. Uses RADGuard 3.x. |
__________
3 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.

Software Solutions
RAD has created a variety of front-end and back-end software solutions to power its ecosystem. RADGUARD is customer-facing software (on the touchscreens of RAD’s field devices), and management solutions include 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 are within a back-end application called SCOT Manager.
RAD has developed Visitor Management, Access Control, and other applications itself 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 recently introduced its own Video Management System into RADSOC, delivering a fully integrated solution that facilitates robust security and property management capabilities.
The Company believes that RAD’s ability to deliver easy-to-use, easy-to-obtain, and easy-to-support software, combined with custom workflow-automation applications, is key to the Company’s success.
Manufacturing & Assembly
RAD uses various 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. In addition, all pieces within any RAD device can be procured from a choice of suppliers.
RAD’s margins are based on current small batch production and assembly. The Company expects that economies of scale will drive greater gross margin as quantities and efficiencies increase.
Roadmap
RAD expects to introduce new products and updates to several products during the remainder of 2022 and early 2023, including the following:
1) ROAMEO 3.0. This release will have an updated physical design inline with the general ‘RAD 3.0 look’ as well as feature several custom components that will significantly improve the robot’s long term autonomy.
2) RAD-dogs. Further details to be released throughout the fiscal year.
3) ‘ROI’, RAD’s entry into an existing market that we value between $ 250 million and $ 500million per year. The unit is in stealth mode and will be debuted at our before the GSX trade show in Atlanta in September 2022.
RAD’s hardware and software have benefited from continuous significant improvements and to date has over 1,500,000 paid operating hours.

Team and Culture
AITX has built a strong start-up culture based on performance, sacrifice, and rewards. Attracting employees who can thrive in this environment requires a different approach to corporate growth and development. RAD’s governing philosophy centers around the principles of “Emotional Intelligence. Self-awareness, composure, internal motivation, empathy, and social skills are prerequisites for joining the RAD team, and each candidate interview begins with a review of the foundational elements that comprise RAD culture.
Team members are open to multitasking and wearing multiple hats, as situations demand. This allows management to focus on larger goals and long-term strategies. We try to ensure that our entire staff shares the same core beliefs and values as the Company, allowing us to adapt and adjust quickly to changes that might grind other companies to a halt. Members have been no stranger to the difficulties that face a startup, including unexpected setbacks, delays in funding, or a cash crunch, but they have persevered with dedication and enthusiasm for our greater mission. They have met incredibly tight deadlines, volunteered to make financial sacrifices, and assisted wherever and however they can.
We believe that RAD’s high-EQ work culture creates productive, motivated employees that has allowed the Company to weather the difficult period of robot deployments and our transition to 2nd generation solutions.
Market Environment
RAD believes that its experience has shown that the security market is ripe for disruption. It has captured the interest of many Fortune 500 companies. The Company believes that no other company operating in the physical security space has the solutions, distribution channel, reputation, sales or support model to rival RAD in the near term. In addition, the Company expects that the launch of RAD’s mobile solutions will significantly increase the gap between it and would-be competitors. RAD will be a one-stop-shop for proven and comprehensive mobile and stationary workflow improvement devices and systems.
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, a platform for AI processing, usage analytics, cloud-sided video, communications interface, audit logs, and much more.
Positive market reception for RAD solutions is due to the following 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 to end-users who require at least some level of security services for crime deterrence and insurance purposes. There are 1.1 million security guards in the United States and the security guard industry represents over $20 billion in annual sales. The average security guard hourly rate is $20 per hour. | |
| 2. | Enterprise organizations’ security divisions/groups are continuously challenged to reduce cost. For example, Universal Parcel Service (UPS) spends over $120 million per year in security guard services, Lockheed Martin over $60 million per year, and NBC Universal over $25 million per/year. The security guard industry has not had any significant disruption or innovation since its inception. | |
| 3. | Guard companies struggle to offer quality service at a reasonable price. Security organizations are eagerly receptive to solutions that improve performance and reduce cost. Guard companies are facing a worker shortage, to the point that they are turning away customers. There is a glut of low-wage jobs available, and compared to opportunities in the retail and service sector, guard positions are undesirable. The work is lonely and boring, and there is little or no room for career growth. Security companies have two alternatives; drastically increase hourly pay to attract more candidates, or automate their processes to require fewer workers who perform more interesting jobs. The former option is expected to increase the cost of services to the end-user; the latter option is expected to reduce the price while delivering security services that may equal or exceed the quality of services performed by individual guards. RAD is uniquely positioned to facilitate this second model, thereby helping to eliminate the staffing crisis for guard companies who embrace RAD’s solutions. | |
| 4. | RAD’s device rental model delivers significantly lower operating costs. With RAD’s current stationary solutions retailing from under $1/hour to $5/hour, customers immediately benefit from substantial savings and more comprehensive security. | |
| 5. | RAD’s services options allow end-users to incorporate or fully replace their existing Security Operation Centers with RAD solutions. RAD’s “Solutions-As-A-Service” Rental Program offers customized options to help organizations achieve operational and security goals. |
- 5 -
The above conditions speak to the historical lack of innovation in the guarding market. RAD upends this tradition by approaching security challenges through a truly revolutionary approach. The 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 largest U.S. guarding company, are aligning with RAD to offer these services to their customer base.
Prospective ROAMEO Impact
The Company’s release of ROAMEO positions it as a near-competitor to Knightscope, a Palo Alto based robotics company in business since 2012. RAD’s approach is different from Knightscope’s on many elements of technology.
RAD expects that a small number of expected ROAMEO orders will make a substantial impact on RAD’s financial performance and create momentum for significant adoption of the entire RAD lineup.
Customer Acceptance of RAD Solutions
RAD end-users include one Fortune Top 10 company and a number of other Fortune 500 companies. RAD is currently deployed in logistics, commercial real estate, healthcare, amusement, manufacturing and retail industries. The Company believes that if RAD is ultimately deployed to only 5% of the facilities within any of these industries, the Company will be profitable.
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 steady 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 industry’s 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 a lecture to NYC’s ASIS CPP group that qualified as a continuing education credit.
It is expected that Mr. Reinharz will continue his promotion of the new paradigm for the next few years until adoption is widespread.
Go To Market Strategy
RAD’s strategy continues to focus on the creation and support of a strong dealer channel. This approach affords multiple benefits to RAD with few downsides. RAD has successfully integrated through the largest U.S. guarding company and recently signed another top-three guarding company as a RAD dealer. Furthermore, RAD has been signing up and developing mid-sized and smaller dealers. RAD is on track to establish a focused group of dealers, most of whom will exclusively represent RAD solutions.
Supplemental to nurturing a solid dealer channel, 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 not to advertise the details of their security systems. | |
| 3. | Until RAD hits the “tipping point,” we prefer to keep our solutions somewhat stealth so as not to give our would-be competitors ideas to copy. |
- 6 -
We anticipate that, eventually, 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.
COVID-19 Impact
The Company had little COVID-19 impact until the release of the 3.0 line. The little COVID-19 impact was due to early purchasing and inventory build up in anticipation of the supply chain disruptions.
The 3.0 lineup uses a variety of new equipment that we could not accumulate. The Company is presently experiencing issues caused by the ongoing supply chain constraints on these new components and pieces of equipment. Furthermore, shipping delays have impacted the timeliness of parts deliveries. Additionally shipping and component costs have been increasing.
These facts put negative pressure on our gross margins and add delays between the time an order is received and the time that order can be implemented and start generating revenue.
The greatest impact of COVID-19 remains it’s affect on labor. Namely the reduction of available workers for both the security industry – which is spurring demand for RAD solutions – and the increasing costs and reduction in availability of RAD staff in the software development and assembly areas. As such, the pandemic’s long term impact will be generally positive as customers gravitate towards our solutions. Additionally the higher wages we are paying our team members help assure continuation of our high employee retention rate.
Employees
As of May 25, 2022, we have 83 employees, including full-time global contract employees. None of our employees are represented by a union. We consider our employee relations to be excellent. AITX is rolling out its approved (April 2021 8-K) ESOP to all employees during the summer of 2022.
Accomplishments & Highlights
AITX, and its subsidiaries RAD I, RAD M, and RAD G, list of accomplishments highlights successes in adding to the strength of its executive leadership team, expanding its sales and distribution channels, launching new products, while growing its presence, visibility and profile within its existing marketplaces. Milestones and accomplishments over the past 12 months include:
SOC 2 Compliance
The SOC 2 Report has become a benchmark standard, and now an often-specified requirement, in the software procurement process. Established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), criteria and reporting principles are outlined as a means for organizations to create a documented framework of policies and procedures to prove how they manage and secure data in the cloud and ensure protection of customer privacy and ensure internal communications are suitably handled. This achievement reflects the Company’s stated goals of best-in-class data protection and internal processes.

| ● | Return to Industry Conferences and Trade Shows |
During the period, as COVID-19 concerns retreated, RAD returned to attending and exhibiting at several regional conferences and national trade shows. At these conferences, it is common for several from RAD’s sales team attend and conduct meeting with dealers, prospective clients and existing clients. RAD's participation during FY 2022 included:
| ● | ISC West 2021, the security industry’s premier trade show and conference, Las Vegas, NV, July 2021 |
| ● | NCS⁴, The National Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security, Phoenix, AZ, November 2021 |
| ● | IAAPA (International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions) 2021, the amusement and attractions industry’s leading show, Orlando, FL, November 2021 |
RAD will continue to attend conferences in FY 2023 within the security industry as well as targeted vertical markets where RAD solutions are in demand.
| ● | Discussion on Sales |
The sales funnel has grown significantly over the course of this fiscal year. During the second half of the year the sales group increased substantially to five full time sales people lead by a sr VP of sales. The first few months of any new employee are focused on training and results sometimes take 6 months from date of hire.
- 8 -
In the fiscal year RAD added 311 sales opportunities to the sales funnel. An opportunity is mostly defined as an account that is exhibiting a pain that can be solved by RAD, has a budget, and has reached the point in the sales process where they have a quote they can sign. Management has identified that conversion of accounts from opportunities to clients is low and has identified some of the reasons for the low conversion rate:
| ● | Buyer fear of deploying new technology and the perceived risks associated with trying something new |
| ● | Compliance questionnaires can take up 18 months, slowing down final approvals |
| ● | Slow adoption of structural changes to Dealers sales processes and internal compensation programs |
Despite this the sales funnel continues to grow in size and quality. Management continues to ‘chip away’ at these change-related obstacles to sales by taking a high profile approach to existing client success, continuously improving the hardware and software to continue to increase the value of our solutions to end users.
Management expects device count deployments may be between 250 and 1250 devices this fiscal year. As of May 2022 total devices deployed is approximately 250.
Uniformly end users and dealers report significant problems with recruiting and retaining manned labor. This fact is the primary driver of clients’ and dealers interest in RAD solutions. Management feels that the labor problem is going to increase in severity as inflationary pressures continue to drive up employee wages (making guard services more expensive) and reduce economic activity (presumably forcing companies to search out lower cost solutions to existing problems).
Management, based on daily conversations with clients, dealers and prospects, feels very strongly that there will be continued increasing demand for the Company’s solutions.
| ● | Additional Points of Interest |
Management expects that as volume production grows, starting with ROSA, the company can achieve significant improvements in cost of goods sold. Part of these savings will be passed to the market in the form of reduced costs. Timing is dependent on parts costs reduction and timing of improvement of production efficiencies.
Management has registered a portfolio of Trademarks. Management may, depending on budget and finance, seek to acquire utility patents for a few innovations that the Company feels desire patent protection and are easily defensible.
Management suggests that revenue from device monitoring from RAD partners could, over time, become up to 15% of company revenues. There is little to no cost associated with this revenue stream.

Dividends
To date, we have not paid dividends on shares of the Company’s common stock and we do not expect to declare or pay dividends on shares of our common stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of any dividends will depend upon our future earnings, if any, AITX’s financial condition, and other factors deemed relevant by its Board of Directors.
Holders of Common Stock
As of May 12, 2022, there were 13 holders of AITX’s common stock of which 13 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.
Common Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $0.00001. The closing price of its common stock on May 12, 2022, as quoted by OTC Markets Group, Inc., was $0.0126. There were 4,833,110,360 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of May 12, 2022. All shares of common stock have one vote per share on all matters including election of directors, without provision for cumulative voting. The common stock is not redeemable and has no conversion or preemptive rights. The common stock currently outstanding is validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In the event of liquidation of the Company, the holders of common stock will share equally in any balance of its assets available for distribution to them after satisfaction of creditors and preferred shareholders, if any. The holders of the Company’s common are entitled to equal dividends and distributions per share with respect to the common stock when, as and if, declared by the Board of Directors from funds legally available.
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 years ended February 28, 2022 and February 28, 2021, 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.

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.

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.

This large increase in direct sales totaling $798,114 is a result of unit sales which includes sales of new units totaling $688,180 with the remaining increase a result in higher training revenue.

Gross profit
Total gross profit for the year ended February 28, 2022 was $974,183, which represented an increase of $711,462 compared to total gross profit of $262,721 for the year ended February 28, 2021. The increase is a result of the increase in revenues above , partially offset by the increase in the relatively lower margin direct sales.

| Operating expenses | $ | 14,346,069 | $ | 3,257,590 | $ | 11,088,479 | 340% | |||||
Our operating expenses were comprised of general and administrative expenses, research and development, depreciation and amortization, and a (gain) loss on disposal 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 28, 2022 and February 28, 2021 were $14,346,069 and $3,257,590, respectively. The overall $11,088,479 increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to the following increases in operating expenses of:
- 24 -
| ● | Research and development expenses increased by $2,583,158 which was due funding development of new products,(such as the ROAMEO, AVA , and TOM ) as well as upgrades of existing products. |
| ● | General and administrative expenses increased by $8,156,635 primarily due to the following increases: |
| — | Stock based compensation to CEO in equity awards was $2,048,850 fees with $109,200 paid to consultants all totaling $2,158,050 for the year ended February 28, 2022, compared with stock based compensation paid to lenders and consultants $362,084 for the prior year. This represents an increase of $1,795,966 in stock based compensation. | |
| — | Professional fees increased by $757,466 due to increases in financial reporting of $171,384, increase in legal of $200,993 with the remaining increase due increases in regulatory, investor relations and consulting costs. | |
| — | Wages, salaries and payroll levies increased by $2,578,216 as a result of the hiring of more staff to operate the new manufacturing facility. This is partially offset by a decrease in subcontractors of $200,381 due to employees now performing many of those tasks. Additionally, base compensation (including payroll levies) to the CEO increased by $33,620 with an addition bonus paid of $1,429,328. | |
| — | Advertising and marketing costs increased by $131,157 as the Company began efforts to promote its products. | |
| — | Supplies increased by approximately $104,953 through their use in new prototypes and designs. | |
| — | Trade shows and travel increased by $325,937 as a result of promotional and business travel in fiscal 2022. In fiscal 2021 there were travel restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic, so the charges that year were minimal. | |
| — | The remaining increases were distributed amongst other general and administrative accounts such a software costs, freight, office expenses, insurance , repairs and maintenance, and utilities amongst others. In general, these large increases in general and administrative expenses may be explained due to the large ramp up in costs this fiscal year to operate the new manufacturing facility and the hiring of 18 additional full-time employees. In addition, the expenses of the prior year’s corresponding period were also much lower due to the Covid 19 pandemic and the limited cash that was available at that time. |
| ● | Operating lease cost and rent increased by $266,324 due to the new operating lease for the new manufacturing facility. |
| ● | Depreciation and amortization increased by $112,040 due to the increase in revenue earning devices and the new vehicle in fixed assets. |
| ● | (Gain) loss on disposal of fixed assets increased by $29,678 due to a vehicle disposal in 2022 that yielded a gain. |
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 28, 2022 and February 28, 2021, was ($48,825,598) and ($2,904,042), respectively.
The change in other income (expense) was due to the following:
| ● | Change in fair value of derivative liabilities decreased by $391,811 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 and the decrease in convertible notes payable through debt conversions to common stock and settlements. |
| ● | Interest expense increased by $12,749,666 due to an aggregate increase in short and long term debt of approximately $13 million in fiscal 2022. For the year ended February 28, 2022, interest expense related to the issuance of warrants for debt extensions was $5,415,000 (2021-$0) and amortization of debt discounts was $7,597,242 (2021-$201,567). |
| ● | Loss on settlement of debt increased by $32,780,079 due to the fiscal 2022 valuation of Series F shares and warrants given in exchange for an amendment to a deferred variable payment obligation disclosed in Note 7 that resulted in a loss of $33,015,215. The difference can be attributed to smaller gains and losses on other debt settlements. |
- 25 -
The Company’s loss from operations for the year ended February 28, 2022 was $13,371,886, which represented an increase in loss of $10,377,017 compared to a loss of $2,994,869 for the year ended February 28, 2021. The higher revenues in 2022 were offset by significantly higher operating expenses for the reasons set out above. Note that the Company had a net loss of $62,197,484 for the year ended February 28, 2022 as compared to net loss of $5,898,911 for the year ended February 28, 2021. This change is mostly attributable to the loss on settlement of debt, increase in interest expense and an increase in general and administrative costs.
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 28, 2022, the Company had negative cash flow from operating activities of $14,825,442. As of February 28, 2022 the Company has an accumulated deficit of $94,144,254 and working capital of $2,502,718. 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 all 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:
The company began raising money through it’s S-3 this year and made improvements in paying off debt, investing in inventory and at February 28, 2022 had $4.6 million of cash on hard. Management is committed to raise either non-dilutive funds or minimally dilutive funds. There is no assurance that these funds will be able to be raised nor can we provide assurance that these possible raises may not have dilutive effects. The Company through to February 28, 2022 has raised approximately $12.5 million net of issuance costs through the sale of its common shares and $9.4 in proceeds from debt issuances.
The Company plans to improve the trading market for its shares by uplisting the shares to the OTCQB during the next fiscal year.

As of February 28, 2022 and February 28, 2021, we had a cash balance of $4,648,146 and $1,044,418, respectively.

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.
- 27 -
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 | |
| Warehouse equipment | 5 years | |
| Demo Devices | 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 28, 2022 and February 28, 2021, the Company had no deferred development costs.
Sales of Future Revenues
The Company has entered into transactions, as more fully described in footnote 11, 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 3 – 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.
Our CEO and Chairman holds sufficient shares of the Company’s voting stock that give sufficient voting rights under the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Company such that the CEO and Chairman can at any time unilaterally vote to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company without the need to call a general meeting of common shareholders of the Company
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. |

Measured on a Recurring Basis
The following table presents information about our liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fell:

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 standard did not materially impact our consolidated net loss, accumulated deficit, and had no impact on cash flows. The Company has adopted this on 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-35 of this annual report on Form 10-K.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
From October 31, 2019 through May 27, 2022, 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 LJ Soldinger & Associates LLC (“LJ Soldinger”) on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of February 28, 2022, 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, 2021, 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 |
- 31 -
| ● | 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. |
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 28, 2022, 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 criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) 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; management is dominated by a single individual; use of the inappropriate methodology of allocating proceeds in certain debt transactions and the expensing timing of the related debt discount; use of inappropriate fair values in certain preferred stock issuances and settlements. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of February 28, 2022.
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 year ended February 28, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
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) | ||
| Steven Reinharz (1) | 48 | Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Director |
__________
| (1) | Director as of March 2, 2021 |
- 32 -
Biographical information concerning our director and executive officers listed above is set forth below.
Steven Reinharz. RAD was founded by Mr. Reinharz in July of 2016, and he has been continuously employed by RAD and its affiliated companies since that time. He is the holder of a majority of the capital stock of the Company. Mr. Reinharz has served as a member of the Board of Directors since March 2, 2021 and as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Secretary of the Company since March 2, 2021. As Chief Executive Officer of the Company and President of RAD, Mr. Reinharz leverages his extensive knowledge and interest in robotics and artificial intelligence to design and develop robotic solutions that increase business efficiency and deliver immediate and impressive cost savings. Mr. Reinharz is an active voice in both the security and artificial intelligence industries. He started and ran his own security integration company from the age of 24 to 31, becoming one of California’s leading system integrators. Mr. Reinharz later was part of a team that successfully sold an integrator to a global security firm for $42 million and has held various other security industry roles. Mr. Reinharz speaks and contributes to panels at ISC East and West, and ASIS. Mr. Reinharz is a leading member of several industry association committees, mostly through the Security Industry Association. Mr. Reinharz has called Orange County, California home since 1995, having grown up in Montreal and Toronto. He earned a dual Bachelor of Science degree in Political Science and Commercial Studies.
There are no family relationships between any of the executive officers and directors. During the past 10 years, Mr. Parsons was not 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
Mr. Reinharz serves as director, and 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 directors. Since we do not have any independent directors and have only two directors, our directors 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 have an employee director, Mr. Reinharz, but no 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 directors are not “audit committee financial experts” within the meaning of Item 401(e) of Regulation S-K. As with most small, early stage companies, until such time that the 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.
- 33 -
Director Qualifications
Mr. Steve Reinharz is our sole director and was appointed on March 2, 2021. He is the founder of our operating company, Robotoc Assistance Devices, Inc. (see bio on page 33).
Mr. Garett Parsons was appointed to our board in February 2017 and resigned on June 22, 2021. Mr. Parsons had significant operational experience in our industry and brought both a practical understanding of the industry as well as hands-on experience in our business sector.
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.
Director Compensation
Apart from a settlement paid upon Mr. Parsons resignation on June 22, 2021 totaling $265,700 no other compensation was paid for his services as a director. We reimburse our directors for all reasonable ordinary and necessary business-related expenses, but we did not pay any other director’s fees or any oher cash compensation for services rendered as a director during the years ended February 28, 2022 and February 28, 2021 to any of the individuals serving on our Board during that period.
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.

Employment Agreements
On March 1, 2021 Mr. Parsons entered into a consulting agreement with the Company whereby he would provide services for the Company for a three-year term. The consulting agreement sets his annual compensation as $96,000 for the first year, $108,000 for the second year, and $120,000 for the third year. On June 22, 2021, Mr. Garett Parsons submitted his resignation as a director of our Company effective as of June 22, 2021 as a result of personal reasons. In connection with the resignation of Mr. Parsons, the Company and Mr. Parsons entered into a resignation letter agreement which cancels the previous consulting agreement. Pursuant to the terms of this letter, Mr. Parsons will receive, among other things, a lump sum payment equal to $265,700 which was paid in June 2021.This payment was a settlement as director of the company and not included as executive compensation above.
On April 9, 2021 Mr. Reinharz entered into an employment agreement with the Company in connection with his service as Chief Executive Officer. The agreement began on April 9, 2021 and has a three-year term, renewable thereafter on an annual basis if neither party files a notice of termination 90 days prior to the term renewal date. The agreement provides for compensation of $240,000 base salary (to be reviewed annually by the Board of Directors) and bonuses to be granted at the discretion of the Board of Directors. In addition, the Company will grant stock options to Mr. Reinharz under the following conditions:
Award #1 Mr. Reinharz shall be granted an award of 10,000,000 million shares/options/warrants if Objective #1 is achieved. Objective #1: the price per share of the Company’s common stock has increased in value to an average of $0.30 for ten (10) days in a thirty-day trading period. For example, pursuant to a Company Stock Plan, if one is adopted, Mr. Reinharz may elect to exercise Award #1 on a cash or cashless basis at an exercise price of $0.15 per share/option/warrant.

The fair value of the first two awards was obtained through the use of the Monte Carlo method was $69,350 with a charge to stock- based compensation and a corresponding charge to paid in capital. The fair value of the remaining rewards was determined by calculating the vesting amounts of each reward and then determining for each reporting period the requisite service rendered and applying that against the cash redemption value of the number of shares of Series G issuable for each tier in the agreement. For the period ended January 31, 2022 that amount totaled $1,979,500 with a charge to stock-based compensation and a corresponding charge to incentive compensation plan payable. With the achievement of objectives 3,4,5 and 8 of the equity awards described above the CEO was granted 1,500 Series G Preferred shares which were redeemed in the reporting period for $1,500,000 in cash. As part of the grant, the Company is responsible for grossing up the award value and has accrued additional compensation for the estimated taxes to be paid by the executive.

| ● | 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.
| Name | Amount and Nature of Beneficial Ownership (1) | Percent of Class (2) | ||
| Named Executive Officers and Directors: | ||||
| Steve Reinharz (4) | 10,707,626,040 | 67.86% | ||

| All executive officers and directors as a group (2 persons) | 11,511,790,608 | 72.96% | ||
| 5% Stockholders: | ||||
| Steve Reinharz (4) | 10,707,626,040 | 67.86% |
__________
| (1) | Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. 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 May 12, 2021 3,545,772,882 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. |

If Mr. Parsons converted the 184 shares of the Company’s Series F Preferred stock, he would receive 804,164,568 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.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS INC.
(FORMERLY ON THE MOVE SYSTEMS CORP.)
INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
F-1
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders 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, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two years ended February 28, 2022, 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, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two years ended February 28, 2022, 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 explained in Note 1, which includes management’s plans in regards to this uncertainty, the Company had a net loss of approximately $62 million, an accumulated deficit of approximately $94 million and stockholders’ deficit of approximately $21 million as of and for the year ended February 28, 2022, and therefore there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. 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 audits. 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 audits 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 audits, 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 audits 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 audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the Audit Committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by F-2 communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Critical Audit Matter Description – Debt Settlements, Amendments and Extensions
In the year ended February 28, 2022, the Company entered into a number of agreements to settle outstanding notes payable and convertible notes payable and to amend debt provisions associated with the sale of future revenues through the issuance of shares of its common stock and different classes of preferred stock. In addition, at year end, the Company entered into three separate agreements to extend the maturity dates of several of its high dollar value notes payable that were then near maturity.
F-2
Critical Audit Matter Determination
Debt settlements, amendments to the debt provisions associated with the sales of future revenues and the extension of maturity dates can encompass significantly complex accounting issues. It takes a high degree of training to understand and recognize the accounting implications of the various terms of the settlement agreements in regards to notes payable and convertible notes, amendments to debt provisions associated with the sales of future revenues and the agreements to extend the maturity dates of notes payables.
Critical Audit Matter Audit Procedures
Our audit procedures related to evaluating the Company’s accounting for the settlements of convertible note payables and notes payable, the amendments to the debt associated with the sale of future revenues and for the maturity extensions of the notes payable were as follows:
| — | We read the various instruments, identified the features that impact the accounting for the settlements and extensions, including the grant of warrants as inducements to enter into the extension agreements. | |
| — | We reviewed the assumptions, methods and models used to calculate the allocation of fair value of the instruments at time of settlement, amendment or extension. | |
| — | We performed independent calculations on a test basis of specific instruments to evaluate the model used in calculating the settlement loss associated with the note payable and convertible note payable settlements, the amendments to debt provisions associated with the sales of future revenues and the interest expense associated with maturity extensions. |
Critical Audit Matter Relevant Financial Statement Disclosures
| — | We read the Company’s disclosures related to the settlements, amendments and maturity extensions to ensure the changes were properly accounted for and fully disclosed in the financial statements. |
Critical Audit Matter Description – Going Concern
As discussed in both Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements and above, the Company has incurred significant losses since inception, and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $94 million and a stockholders’ deficit of $21 million as of February 28, 2022.
Critical Audit Matter Determination
The following items were considered in determining that a going concern was a critical audit matter.
| — | Significant losses and significant cash used in operations in the year end February 28, 2022 | |
| — | We also took into consideration the Company’s need to raise additional debt and equity financing over the next twelve months and the amounts raised as of the time of filing of its financial statements |
Critical Audit Matter Audit Procedures
We reviewed the Company’s negative cash flows from operations
We noted the limited working capital resources
We noted subsequent events and proceeds received from the ongoing private placement offering as of the date of our opinion
We compared subsequent funding from the private placements of notes completed as of the filing of these financial statements to the estimated cash flows required to continue operations for the year subsequent to the date of our report.
Critical Audit Matter Relevant Financial Statement Disclosures
We reviewed the completeness of the Company’s Going Concern footnote and the details of the Company’s plans to continue operations for the next twelve months and management’s disclosure as noted above that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND GOING CONCERN
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.
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 28, 2021, the Company had negative cash flow from operating activities of $14,825,442. As of February 28, 2022 the Company has an accumulated deficit of $94,144,254 and working capital of $2,502,718. 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 all 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:
The company began raising money through it’s S-3 this year and made improvements in paying off debt, investing in inventory and at February 28, 2022 had $4.6 million of cash on hard. Management is committed to raise either non-dilutive funds or minimally dilutive funds. There is no assurance that these funds will be able to be raised nor can we provide assurance that these possible raises may not have dilutive effects. The Company through to February 28, 2022 has raised approximately $12.5 million net of issuance costs through the sale of its common shares and approximately $9.4 million in proceeds from debt issuances.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2. 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., Robotic Assistance Devices Group , Inc, Robotic Assistance Devices Mobile , 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 equity instruments used in debt settlements, amendments and extensions.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have not changed the results of operations of prior periods.
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 credit losses. In determining collectability, historical trends are evaluated, and specific customer issues are reviewed on a periodic basis to arrive at appropriate allowances. There was an allowance of $33,890 and $24,868 provided as of February 28, 2022 and February 28, 2021, respectively. For the year ended February 28, 2022 , three customers account for 63% of total accounts receivable (2021- 68%).
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 28, 2022 and at February 28, 2021 there was a valuation reserve of $65,000 and $0, respectively.
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 | |
| Warehouse equipment | 5 years | |
| Demo Devices | 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 28, 2022 and February 28, 2021, 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.

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.. For the year ended February 28, 2022 , two customers accounted for 43% of total revenue (2021- 49%).
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 28, 2022, but the Company does not expect the Tax Act to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Leases
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.
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.
Our CEO and Chairman holds sufficient shares of the Company’s voting stock that give sufficient voting rights under the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Company such that the CEO and Chairman can at any time unilaterally vote to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company without the need to call a general meeting of common shareholders of the Company.
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. |

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
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued amended guidance on the accounting and reporting of income taxes. The guidance is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing exceptions related to certain intraperiod tax allocations and deferred tax liabilities; clarifying guidance primarily related to evaluating the step-up tax basis for goodwill in a business combination; and reflecting enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate. The Company adopted the new guidance effective February 1, 2021. There was no impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
F-15
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In January 2020, the FASB issued new guidance intended to clarify certain interactions between accounting standards related to equity securities, equity method investments and certain derivatives. The guidance addresses accounting for the transition into and out of the equity method of accounting and measuring certain purchased options and forward contracts to acquire investments. The Company adopted the new guidance effective February 1, 2021. There was no impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
In August 2020, the FASB issued amended guidance on the accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. The guidance removes the separation model for convertible debt instruments and preferred stock, amends requirements for conversion options to be classified in equity as well as amends diluted earnings per share (EPS) calculations for certain convertible debt instruments. The amended guidance is effective for interim and annual periods in 2022. The application of the amendments in the new guidance are to be applied either on a modified retrospective or a retrospective basis. We are currently assessing the effect that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In March 2020, the FASB issued optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting and subsequently issued clarifying amendments. The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for accounting for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The optional guidance is effective upon issuance and can be applied on a prospective basis at any time between January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.
In October 2021, the FASB issued amended guidance that requires acquiring entities to recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities in a business combination in accordance with existing revenue recognition guidance. The amended guidance is effective for interim and annual periods in 2023 and is to be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted on a retrospective basis to the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for prior acquisitions; however, the impact in future periods will be dependent upon the contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in future business combinations.
In November 2021, the FASB issued new guidance to increase the transparency of transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy. The guidance requires annual disclosures of such transactions to include the nature of the transactions and the significant terms and conditions, the accounting treatment and the impact to the company’s financial statements. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning in 2022 and is to be applied on either a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.
3. 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 842 which was adopted. On March 1, 2019.
As disclosed in the revenue recognition section of Note 2 – Accounting Polices, the Company adopted Topic 606 in accordance with the effective date on March 1, 2018. Note 2 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 2, 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 for periods greater than one year. To date none of the lease agreements entered into have been for periods longer than one year or greater, and the Company has availed itself of the practical expedient to exclude such leases from ASC 84 2accountiong and instead has accounted for these leases under ASC 606.

We lease certain warehouses, and office space. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For lease agreements entered into or reassessed after the adoption of Topic 842, we did not combine lease and non-lease components.
There is no lease renewal. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.
Below is a summary of our lease assets and liabilities at February 28, 2022 and February 28, 2021.

Note: As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate of 10% which for the leases noted above was based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We compare against loans we obtain to acquire physical assets and not loans we obtain for financing. The loans we obtain for financing are generally at significantly higher rates and we believe that physical space or vehicle rental agreements are in line with physical asset financing agreements. CAM charges were not included in operating lease expense and were expensed in general and administrative expenses as incurred.
Operating lease cost and rent was $275,785 and $9,461 for both the twelve months ended February 28, 2022 and February 28, 2021, respectively.

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 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). 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. 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. 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.
On November 18, 2019 the Company entered into another similar arrangement with the (February 1, 2019) investor above whereby the investor would advance up to $225,000 in exchange for a perpetual 2.25% rate Payment on the Company’s quarterly Revenues (commencing on quarter ending May 31, 2020). At February 29, 2020 the investor has advanced $109,000 and the investor advanced the $116,000 remainder as of May 2020.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On December 30, 2019 the Company entered into another similar arrangement with a new investor whereby the investor would advance up to $100,000 in exchange for a perpetual 1.00% rate Payment on the Company’s quarterly Revenues (commencing quarter ended November 30, 2020). 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. At May 31, 2020 the investor has fully funded this commitment.
On July 1, 2020 the Company entered into a similar agreement with the first investor whereby the investor would pay up to $800,000 in exchange for a perpetual 2.75% rate payment (Payment) on the Company’s reported quarterly revenue. These Payments are to be made 90 days after the fiscal quarter with the first payment being due no later than May 31, 2021. If the Payments would deplete RAD’s available cash by more than 20%, the payment may be deferred. The investor had agreed to pay $100,000 per month over an 8 month period with the first payment due July 2020 and the final payment no later than February 28, 2021. As at August 31, 2020 the investor had fully funded the $800,000 commitment
On August 27, 2020 the Company and the first investor referred to above consolidated the three separate agreements of February 1, 2019 for $900,000, November 18, 2019 for $225,000 and July 1, 2020 for $800,000 into a new agreement for a total of $1,925,000. This new agreement is for similar terms as the above agreements save for the following: the rate payment is revised to 14.25% payable on revenues commencing the quarter ended August 31, 2020 and the Payments are secured by the assets of the Company. This interest may be secured by UCC filing but is subordinated to equipment financing on the products the Company leases to its customers.
In summary of all agreements mentioned above if 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 43.77% 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 43.77% 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. As of March 1, 2021 as a result of the amendment with the first investor noted below. This aggregate asset disposition % was reduced from 43.77 % to 33.77%
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 28, 2022, the Company has accrued approximately $325,600 in Payments (February 28, 2021 -$91,587).
On March 1, 2021 the first investor referred to above whose aggregate investment is $1,925,000 revised his agreements as follows:
| 1) | The rate payment was reduced from 14.25 % to 9.65 % | |
| 2) | The asset disposition % (see below) was reduced from 31 % to 21% |
In consideration for the above changes, the investor received 40 Series F Convertible Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase 367 shares of its Series F Convertible Preferred Stock with a five-year term and an exercise price of $1.00. During the three months ended May 31, 2021 the warrant holder exercised warrants to acquire 38 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock. The company attributed a fair value based on recent transactions for the Series F Preferred stock and warrants of $33,015,214 and recorded a loss on settlement of debt with a corresponding adjustment to paid in capital.
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.

The fair value of the remaining rewards was determined by calculating the vesting amounts of each reward and then determining for each reporting period the requisite service rendered and applying that against the cash redemption value of the number of shares of Series G issuable for each tier in the agreement. For the period ended January 31 2022 that amount totaled $1,979,500 with a charge to stock-based compensation and a corresponding charge to incentive compensation plan payable. With the achievement of objectives 3,4,5 and 8 of the equity awards described above the CEO was granted 1,500 Series G Preferred shares which were redeemed in the reporting period for $1,500,000 in cash.

The purpose of the 2021 Plan is to promote the success of the Company by authorizing incentive awards to retain Directors, executives, selected Employees and Consultants, and reward participants for making major contributions to the success of the Company.

A total of five million (5,000,000) shares of common stock may be issued under the 2021 Plan. All awards under the 2021 Plan, whether vested or unvested, are subject to the terms of any recoupment, clawback or similar policy of the Company in effect from time to time, as well as any similar provisions of applicable law, which could in certain circumstances require repayment or forfeiture of awards or any shares of stock or other cash or property received with respect to the awards, including any value received from a disposition of the shares acquired upon payment of the awards. The 2021 Plan will be administered by the Board or any Committee authorized by the Board, if applicable, which will have the sole authority to, among other things: construe and interpret the 2021 Plan; make rules and regulations relating to the administration of the 2021 Plan; select participants; and establish the terms and conditions of awards, all in accordance with the terms of the 2021 Plan. The 2021 Plan will remain in effect until April 14, 2031, unless sooner terminated by the Board. Termination will not affect awards then outstanding.
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 March 2021, the Company settled with former landlords for $30,000. The Company had accrued $62,552 at February 28, 2021. A gain on settlement of debt of $32,552 was recorded.
In April 2019 the principals of WeSecure filed a lawsuit against the Company in California Superior Court seeking a total of $199,358 plus attorney’s fees and damages. The total included claims for the non-payment of a balance from the sale of WeSecure assets to the Company, unpaid consulting fees payable to the two principals of WeSecure, and labor code violations. In June 2019, the parties settled all claims for $180,000, payable in 14 monthly installments, and a full release. The $122,000 balance owing at February 28, 2021 was paid in full on March 17, 2021.
The related legal costs are expensed as incurred.

16. INCOME TAXES
The Company has adopted ASC 740-10, “Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the liability method in the computation of income tax expense and the current and deferred income taxes payable (deferred tax liability) or benefit (deferred tax asset). Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The income tax expense (benefit) consisted of the following for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2022 and February 28, 2021:
| February 28, 2022 | February 28, 2021 | ||||||

| Total | $ | — | ||
For the year ended February 28, 2022 and February 28, 2021, the expected tax benefit, temporary timing differences and long-term timing differences are calculated at the 21% statutory rate.
Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows for the fiscal years February 28, 2022 and February 28, 2021:
| February 28, 2022 | February 28, 2021 | ||||||
| Deferred tax assets: | |||||||

| Less valuation allowance | (8,559,915 | ) | (5,161,115 | ) | |||
| Net deferred tax assets (liabilities) | $ | — | $ | — | |||
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 $28,200,000 at February 28, 2022 and $14,994,000 at February 28, 2021, 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.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company has maintained a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets at February 28, 2022 and February 28, 2021. 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 28, 2022 and February 28, 2021 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.
The Company’s tax returns for the years ended February 28, 2022, and February 28, 2021, and February 29, 2020 are open for examination under Federal statute of limitations.
