Overview
AITX
was incorporated in Florida on March 25, 2010. AITX reincorporated into Nevada on February 17, 2015. AITX’s fiscal year end is
February 28 (February 29 during leap year). AITX is located at 10800 Galaxie Ave., Ferndale Michigan, 48220, and our telephone number
is 877-767-6268.
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
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.

Total
revenue for the three-month period ended May 31, 2026 was $1,831,202which represented a decrease of $23,635 or 1% compared to total revenue
of 1,854,837 for the three months ended May 31, 2025. The decrease in revenue was attributable to a significant drop in the sales for
one major customer due to their internal cost cutting initiatives. This major customer previously represented about 48% of the Company’s
revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2025 represented 21% of the Company’s revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2026.
The Company managed to mitigate this reduction by gaining new customers and diversifying its customer base. For the three months ended
May 31, 2026, two customers accounted for 36% of total revenue and for the three months ended May 31, 2025, two customers accounted for
65% of total revenue. The Company expects to see sales growth through new mobile products and software starting in the second quarter
of this fiscal year. The mobile products will see a slow steady rollout over the fiscal year due to the capital intensive nature of these
products.
Gross
profit
Total
gross profit for the three-month period ended May 31, 2026 was $1,183,824which represented a decrease of $49,677 compared to gross profit
of $1,233,501 for the three months ended May 31, 2025. The decrease is consistent with the decrease in revenues as well as changes in
product mix. The gross profit % of 65% for the three-month period ended May 31, 2026 compared with the gross profit % of 67% for the
three month period ended May 31, 2025.

Our
operating expenses were comprised of general and administrative expenses, research and development, and depreciation. General and administrative
expenses consisted primarily of professional services, automobile expenses, advertising, salaries and wages, travel expenses and consultants.
Our operating expenses during the three-month period ended May 31, 2026 and May 31, 2025, were $3,893,188 and $4,412,170, respectively.
The overall decrease of $518,982 was primarily attributable to the following changes in operating expenses of:
●
General
and administrative expenses decreased by $324,634. In comparing the three months ended May 31, 2026 and May 31, 2025 this decrease
was primarily due to the following decreases: wages and salaries by $227,585, professional fees by $45,167, stock based compensation
by $19,847, production supplies by $45,525, RMC costs by $59,948, marketing by $53,486, freight and duty costs by $49,508 and dues
and subscriptions by $27,858. These costs were partially offset by increases in subcontractor by $198,837 and with other net G&
A account decreases.
●
Research
and development decreased by $202,026 due to a decrease in software development as the product is being released.
●
Depreciation
and amortization decreased by $1,475.
●
Operating
lease cost and rent increased by $9,153 due to one new lease in 2026.
Other
Expense
Other
expense during the three months ended May 31, 2026 and May 31, 2025, was $3,006,474 and $1,415,349, respectively. The $1,591,125
increase in other expense was primarily attributable to a $885,525 increase in interest expense due to an approximately $338,000 increase
in debt discount amortization expense, an approximately $204,000 increase in interest on DVPO balance with the balance due to the switch
to some notes (see Note 11) to compounding interest and interest on approximately $2.7 million increase in loans payable. The $707,600
loss on settlement was on the exchange of loans payable and accrued interest for the three months ended May 31, 2026
Net
loss
We
had a net loss of $5,715,838 for the three months ended May 31, 2026, compared to a net loss of $4,594,018 for the three months ended
May 31, 2025. The increase in net loss of $1,121,820 is due to a number of factors: higher other expenses is reduced by lower operating
expenses for the three months ended May 31, 2026.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Cash Flows
Management believes that we will continue to incur
losses for the immediate future. Therefore, we will need additional equity or debt financing until we can achieve profitability and positive
cash flows from operating activities, if ever. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include and adjustments relating to the recovery of assets or the classification
of liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

As
of May 31, 2026, we had a cash balance of $94,643, accounts receivable (net) of $974,897, device parts inventory(net) of $1,378,950 and
$44,890,383 in current liabilities. At the current cash consumption rate, we will need to consider additional funding sources going forward.
We are taking proactive measures to reduce operating expenses and drive growth in revenue.
The
successful outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time and there is no assurance that, if achieved, we will have sufficient
funds to execute our intended business plan or generate positive operating results.
