Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

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., Robotic Assistance Devices Residential, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

In order to prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles 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

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.

 

Concentrations of Loans Payable

Concentrations of Loans Payable

 

At February 28, 2025 there were $32,801,345 loans payable, $28,581,506 or 87% of these loans to companies controlled by one individual. At February 29, 2024 there were $32,796,345 loans payable, $28,540,506 or 87% of these loans to companies controlled by one individual.

 

Cash

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 which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits, and, to date has not experienced losses on any of its balances.

Accounts Receivable

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 $140,000 and $68,000 provided as of February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024, respectively. For the year ended February 28, 2025, one customer accounts for 52% of total accounts receivable . For the year ended February 29, 2024, three customers account for 72% of total accounts receivable .

 

Device Parts Inventory

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, 2025 and at February 29, 2024 there was a valuation reserve of $465,000 and $959,000, respectively.

 

Revenue Earning Devices

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

 

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
Furniture and fixtures   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

 

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, 2025 and February 29, 2024, the Company had no deferred development costs.

 

Contingencies

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

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

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, 2025, one customer accounted for 55% of total revenue and for the year ended February 29, 2024, three customers accounted for 56% of total revenue (see Note-3).

 

Income Taxes

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, 2025, but the Company does not expect the Tax Act to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Leases

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.

 

 

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term, whereby an equal amount of rent expense is attributed to each period during the term of the lease, regardless of when actual payments are made. This generally results in rent expense in excess of cash payments during the early years of a lease and rent expense less than cash payments in the later years. The difference between rent expense recognized and actual rental payments is recorded as deferred rent and included in liabilities.

 

Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity

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

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).

 

 

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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:

   

   Amount at  Fair Value Measurement Using
   Fair Value  Level 1  Level 2  Level 3
February 28, 2025                    
Assets                    
Investment at cost  $100,000   $50,000   $     $50,000 
 Liabilities                    
Incentive compensation plan payable – revaluation of equity awards payable in Series G shares  $4,000,000   $     $     $4,000,000 
                     
February 29, 2024                    
Liabilities                    
Incentive compensation plan payable – revaluation of equity awards payable in Series G shares  $2,500,000   $     $     $2,500,000 

 

For the incentive compensation plan , the Company recorded stock based compensation of $0 and $1,521,000 for the years ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024 with corresponding adjustments to incentive compensation plan payable.

 

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

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.

 

 

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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 Standards During the Year

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. Under ASU 2020-06, the embedded conversion features are no longer separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. Consequently, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost, as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. The new guidance also requires the if-converted method to be applied for all convertible instruments. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for public entities, excluding smaller reporting companies as defined, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. A reporting entity is not permitted to adopt the guidance in an interim period, other than the first interim period of its fiscal year. The Company adopted the standard using a modified retrospective approach. The adjustment to the Company’s accumulated deficit at March 1, 2024 was $4,175,535 with a corresponding adjustment to loans payable.
