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

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.

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, 2025 and May 31, 2024, were $4,412,170 and $3,518,590, respectively.
The overall increase of $893,580 was primarily attributable to the following changes in operating expenses of:
●
General
and administrative expenses increased by $681,460. In comparing the three months ended May 31, 2025 and May 31, 2024 this increase
was primarily due to the following increases: wages and salaries by $388,250, commissions by $43,018, production supplies by $44,308,
professional fees by $57,997, marketing by $106,977, and bad debts expenses by $42,066 offset with other net G&
A account decreases.
●
Research
and development increased by $277,469 due to an increase in software development.
●
Depreciation
and amortization decreased by $61,555 due to fixed assets being fully depreciated in 2025 as well as a lower allocation of revenue
earning devices to operating expenses due to a change in estimate based on experience.
●
Operating
lease cost and rent decreased by $3,794 due to one less lease in 2025.
Other
Income (Expense)
Other
income (expense) during the three months ended May 31, 2025 and May 31, 2024, was ($1,415,349) and ($1,361,103), respectively. The $54,246
increase in other expense was primarily attributable to a $65,000 settlement accrued for as described in Note 13 during the three months
ended May 31, 2025.
Net
loss
We
had a net loss of $4,594,018 for the three months ended May 31, 2025, compared to a net loss of $4,194,359 for the three months ended
May 31, 2024. The increase in net loss of $399,659 is due to a number of factors: higher research and development and general and administrative

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, 2025, we had a cash balance of $324,847, accounts receivable (net) of $893,694, device parts inventory(net) of $1,511,783
and $7,076,967 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.
