Key Takeaways from the 10-Q Filing

AITX Financials

For the nine months ended November 30, 2021, the Company raised over $9.4 million from debt issuances and another $8.5 million through common shares issuances. This funding will allow the company to expand and grow its business.

The Company’s current ratio showed significant improvement from 0.27 at the end of February 2021 to 0.96 at the end of Q3, November 30, 2021. Current ratio, also known as the working capital ratio, measures a business’ ability to pay off its short-term debt obligations with its current assets. This is a significant positive trend, substantially improving the Company’s liquidity.

Device parts inventory (on hand) as of November 30, 2021 at $1,331K, up from $64K as of February 28, 2021, an increase of 1,980%. This increase supports both organic growth, inventory for fast delivery of select devices, and support for an expanding sales pipeline.

The Company invested broadly in its research and development spending $2.1M for the nine months ending November 30, 2021, a 912% increase compared to the same period the previous fiscal year. The increase supports investments in new project development, increased engineering, and programming resources. The Company has been working heavily on the development of new products such as ROAMEO^™ 2.0, ROSA^™ 3.0, AVA^™ 3.0, STAN and TOM with other products to be released in fiscal 2023.

Robotic Assistance Devices (RAD) Sales Growth

The Company reports that its sales funnel continues its growth as its sales team has expanded to a total of 7 representatives. RAD’s reach expanded into new markets, signing 5 new authorized dealers, and opening business opportunities in the attractions, gaming, retail, and power utility industries. RAD President, Mark Folmer commented “We are now on a trajectory where we can expect upwards of $100,000 in recurring monthly revenue by the end of the next quarter.”

Expanded Marketing Activities at RAD During the Quarter

The Company embarked on several new marketing initiatives during the period. RAD personnel participated at 2 major market conferences and trade shows, each producing immediate sales results. “The RAD sales and marketing teams went on the road, showcasing the public rollout of ROAMEO 2.0 and ROSA 3.0 returning with orders and filling the sales pipeline with opportunities,” Reinharz added. “Just 3 weeks after meeting a prospect at a show in Orlando we had a new client for a ROAMEO. We’re finding that prospects love seeing the RAD solutions in person, that’s why we’ve committed to exhibit at 4, maybe more shows in 2022.”

The Company also invested in and launched a new website, under the simplified domain name radsecurity.com. “We often refer to RAD as now being in a new ‘orbit’,” Reinharz commented. “Our team has dramatically enhanced our look, our feel, our overall presentation. The RAD 3.0 device designs, our enhanced websites, our marketing, everything has been refreshed and represents us well,” Reinharz concluded.

RAD’s ROSA received 3 prestigious awards during the fiscal quarter. ROSA and the newly announced RAD Light My Way^™ was named the winner of CBRE’s Innovation Challenge 2021 Best Workplace Experience Solution Award. ROSA continued its award run by taking 2 AST ASTORS Awards in the categories of Best Robotic Perimeter Protection and Best Motion Detection Solution.
