NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions Inc. (“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 an LLC. On July 25, 2017, Robotic Assistance Devices LLC converted to a C Corporation, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc., through the issuance of
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
shares of AITX Series E Preferred Stock and 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. As a result, AITX’s business going forward will consist of one segment activity which is the delivery of artificial intelligence and robotic solutions for operational, security and monitoring needs.
The Acquisition was treated as a reverse recapitalization effected by a share exchange for financial accounting and reporting purposes since substantially all of AITX’s operations were disposed of as part of the consummation of the transaction. Therefore, no goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded by AITX as a result of the Acquisition. RAD is treated as the accounting acquirer as its stockholders control the Company after the Acquisition, even though AITX was the legal acquirer. As a result, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in these financial statements are those of RAD as if RAD had always been the reporting company.
2. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying unaudited 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 six months ended August 31, 2021, the Company
had negative cash flow from operating activities of $(
The Company does not have the resources at this time to repay its credit and debt obligations, make any payments in the form of dividends to its shareholders or fully implement its business plan. Without additional capital, the Company will not be able to remain in business.
Management has plans to address the Company’s financial situation as follows:
In the near term, management plans to raise an additional $ 15 million to $ 50 million before the end of the fiscal year. 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 currently projects that 2022 fiscal year’s revenues will be between 5 and 15 times greater than the 2021 fiscal year’s revenues. This projection is based on the following factors: 1. an anticipated significant increase in the orders; 2. an expected significant improvement in the Company’s ability to make timely deliveries; and 3. an anticipated significant improvement in the Company’s ability to support many more devices than this it could support during the 2021’s fiscal year. However, there can be no assurance that the revenues will increase to the extent projected or that the anticipated improvements will actually occur.
This expansion plan will require the Company to expend significant resources, including the hiring of additional staffing, which the Company expects to finish the next fiscal year with between 75 – 125 employees.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and in conformity with the condensing instructions on Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X and the related rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s latest Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K as filed on June 1, 2021. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc., Robotic Assistance Devices Group, Inc., and Robotic Assistance Devices Mobile, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such statements. The results of operations for the six months ended August 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.
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 preferred stock and derivative liabilities.
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit with banks and money market instruments. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high-quality, U.S. financial institutions and, to date has not experienced losses on any of its balances.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are comprised of balances due
from customers, net of estimated allowances for uncollectible accounts. In determining collectability, historical trends are evaluated,
and specific customer issues are reviewed on a periodic basis to arrive at appropriate allowances. There was an allowance of $
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. As of both August 31, 2021 and February 28, 2021 there was no valuation reserve.
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.

(UNAUDITED)
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 | ||
Office equipment | ||
Demo Devices | ||
Vehicles | ||
Leasehold improvements |
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 August 31, 2021 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 8, 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 is 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. Refer to Note 4 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers for additional information.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized when items of income and expense are recognized in the financial statements in different periods than when recognized in the tax return. Deferred tax assets arise when expenses are recognized in the financial statements before the tax returns or when income items are recognized in the tax return prior to the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also arise when operating losses or tax credits are available to offset tax payments due in future years. Deferred tax liabilities arise when income items are recognized in the financial statements before the tax returns or when expenses are recognized in the tax return prior to the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
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 preferred 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. |

See Note 12 for specific inputs used in the multinomial lattice model 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.
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
Accounting for Income Taxes
In December 2019, the FASB issued a new standard to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The guidance eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences related to changes in ownership of equity method investments and foreign subsidiaries. The guidance also simplifies aspects of accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates, and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The standard will be effective for us beginning July 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect any material impact of this standard in our consolidated financial statements, including accounting policies, processes, and systems.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 was issued to provide more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and changes the loss impairment methodology. ASU 2016-13 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 using a modified retrospective adoption method. A prospective transition approach is required for debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized before the effective date. The Company is currently assessing the impact this accounting standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures. The Company adopted this on March 1, 2020.
4. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
Revenue is earned primarily from two sources: 1) direct sales of goods or services and 2) short-term rentals. Direct sales of goods or services are accounted for under Topic 606, and short-term rentals are accounted for under Topic 842 (which addresses lease accounting and was adopted on March 1, 2019).
As disclosed in the revenue recognition section of Note 3 – Accounting Polices, the Company adopted Topic 606 in accordance with the effective date on March 1, 2018. Note 3 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.
After adopting Topic 842, also referred to above in Note 3, the Company is accounting for revenue earned from rental activities where an identified asset is transferred to the customer and the customer has the ability to control that asset. The Company recognizes revenue from its device rental activities when persuasive evidence of a contract exists, the performance obligations have been satisfied, the transaction price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Performance obligations associated with device rental transactions are satisfied over the rental period. Rental periods are short-term in nature. Therefore, the Company has elected to apply the practical expedient which eliminates the requirement to disclose information about remaining performance obligations. Payments are due from customers at the completion of the rental, except for customers with negotiated payment terms, generally net 30 days or less, which are invoiced and remain as accounts receivable until collected.
The following table presents revenues from contracts with customers disaggregated by product/service:

7. LEASES
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.
Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term by 10 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. 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.

15. 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 $

This large increase is a result of increases in rental activities and training revenue as the Company continues to grow its business.
Gross profit

The increase resulted primarily from the increased revenues noted above. The gross profit % of 70% for the three-month period ended August 31, 2021 was slightly higher than the margin of 53% for the prior year’s corresponding period due to the shift in sales mix, specifically higher training revenue in 2021.

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 August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020, were $3,383,990 and $707,969, respectively. The overall increase of $2,676,021 was primarily attributable to the following changes in operating expenses of:
● | General and administrative expenses increased by $2,026,842. In comparing the three months ended August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020 this significant increase was primarily due to increases in production supplies by $182,579, professional fees by $29,967, wages and salaries $590,820, stock-based compensation $1,131,260, and travel $116,203 and with the remaining increase distributed amongst other G&A accounts. These large increases 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 quarter were also much lower due to the Covid 19 pandemic and the limited cash available at that time. |
● | Research and development increased by $590,614 due to funding development of new products as well as upgrades of existing products. |
● |
Depreciation and amortization increased by $17,331 due to increases in fixed assets and revenue earning devices. |
● | Operating lease cost and rent increased by $70,912 due to the two new leases including three months of the new manufacturing facility for the three months ended August 31, 2021 as compared to a month-to-month lease of only office space for the three months ended August 31, 2020. |
● | (Gain) loss on disposal of fixed assets increase by $29,678 due to a vehicle sold this current quarter. |
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) during the three months ended August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020, was ($1,548,001) and ($8,350,343), respectively. The $6,802,342 decrease in other expense was primarily attributable to the change in the fair value of derivatives, interest expense, and loss on settlement of debt.
● | In comparing the three months ended August 31, 2021 and the three months ended August 31, 2020, the change in fair value of derivative liabilities increased by $7,363,848 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 as well as reductions in derivative liability as a result of settlements on the underlying debt. Fair value of derivatives was largely affected by the decrease in the market price of the Company’s common stock during the current period as well as the significant reduction in convertible debt and accrued interest that occurred at the end of fiscal 2021. |
● | Interest expense increased by $634,215 due to a significant increase loans payable, most significantly new loans totaling over $18 million , including loans from the Series F preferred share exchanges, and other debt exchanges. |
● |
Gain on settlement of debt was $72,709 for the quarter ended August 31, 2021 and nil in the prior year’s quarter. The Debt exchange for common shares was partially offset by a loss on the convertible debt amendment which resulted in an overall gain this quarter. |
Net loss
We had a net loss of $4,832,373 for the three months ended August 31, 2021, compared to a net loss of $9,018,241 for the three months ended August 31, 2020. The change is primarily the result of the change in fair value of derivative liabilities and other items discussed above.

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 six-month period ended August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020, were $5,984,944 and $1,100,731, respectively. The overall increase of $4,884,213 was primarily attributable to the following changes in operating expenses of:
● | General and administrative expenses increased by $3,646,711. In comparing the six months ended August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020 this significant increase was primarily due to increases in production supplies by $120,974, professional fees by $534,688, wages and salaries $882,904, subcontractor fees $58,812, stock-based compensation $1,200,550,investor relations $76,000, payments under deferred variable payment obligation $134,634, duty and freight $118,921, office expenses $79,523, advertising and promotion $37,660 , and travel $217,476 with the remaining increase distributed amongst other G&A accounts. These large increases may be explained due to the large ramp up in costs this quarter to operate the new manufacturing facility, the hiring of 18 additional full-time employees and the termination costs of the former director. In addition, the expenses of the prior year’s corresponding quarter were also much lower due to the Covid 19 pandemic and the limited cash available at that time. |
● | Research and development increased by $1,143,536 due to funding development of new products as well as upgrades of existing products. |
● | Depreciation and amortization increased by $26,858 due to increases in fixed assets and revenue earning devices. |
● | Operating lease cost and rent increased by $96,786 due to the two new leases including four months of the new manufacturing facility for the six months ended August 31, 2021 as compared to a month-to-month lease of office space for the six months ended August 31, 2020. |
● | (Gain) loss on disposal of fixed assets increase by $29,678 due to a vehicle sold this current quarter. |
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) during the six months ended August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020, was ($35,301,373) and ($6,036,336), respectively. The $29,265,037 decrease in other income was primarily attributable to the change in the fair value of derivatives, interest expense, and loss on settlement of debt.
● | In comparing the six months ended August 31, 2021 and the six months ended August 31, 2020, the change in fair value of derivative liabilities increased by $4,699,796 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 as well as reductions in derivative liability as a result of settlements on the underlying debt. Fair value of derivatives was largely affected by the decrease in the market price of the Company’s common stock during the current period as well as the significant reduction in convertible debt and accrued interest that occurred at the end of fiscal 2021 and first six months of fiscal 2022. |
● | Interest expense increased by $1,053,181 due to a significant increase loan payable, most significantly new loans totaling over $18 million , including loans from the Series F preferred share exchanges, and other debt exchanges. |
● | Loss on settlement of debt was $32,911,652 the quarter ended August 31, 2021 and nil in the prior year’s quarter. The amendment of the deferred variable payment obligation referred to in Note 8 led to a $33,015,215 loss which was partially offset by gains from accrued liabilities settlements and the debt exchange for common shares which was partially offset by a loss on the convertible debt amendment that resulted in an overall gain this quarter. This loss on settlement of debt is non-cash and has no effect on the cash flows of the Company. |
Net loss
We had a net loss of $40,737,291 for the six months ended August 31, 2021, compared to a net loss of $7,042,065 for the six months ended August 31, 2020. The change is primarily the result of the loss on settlement in the six months ended August 31, 2021 as well as the change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities and other items discussed above.

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. For the six months ended August 31, 2021, we have generated revenue and are trying to achieve positive cash flows from operations
As of August 31, 2021, we had a cash balance of $2,395,389, accounts receivable of $186,435, device parts inventory of $278,427 and $6,250,160 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.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
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)) as of August 31, 2021. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of August 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed by us 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.
1. | As of August 31, 2021, we did not maintain effective controls over our control environment. Specifically, we have not developed and effectively communicated to our employees our accounting policies and procedures. This has resulted in inconsistent practices. Further, the Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness. | |
2. | As of August 31, 2021, we did not maintain effective controls over financial statement disclosure. Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness. |
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, do 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.
