The company reported negative cash flow from operating activities of $7.45 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2025, an accumulated deficit of $165.09 million, and negative working capital of $14.02 million, raising substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
-
Material Weaknesses in Internal Controls
Management concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, citing material weaknesses in the control environment and financial statement disclosure due to inconsistent accounting practices and lack of independent board members/audit committee financial experts.

Significant Share Dilution
Common shares outstanding increased to 25.29 billion as of January 12, 2026, from 14.41 billion at February 28, 2025. The board also increased authorized common shares to 27.5 billion.

High-Cost and Unfavorable Financing Terms

Analysis
Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions Inc. faces substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, as evidenced by significant negative cash flow from operations, a large accumulated deficit, and worsening negative working capital. The company is relying on highly dilutive equity issuances and high-cost debt with unfavorable terms, including a convertible note that converts at 80% of the lowest trading price, to fund operations. Furthermore, management disclosed material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting, indicating serious governance and operational risks. While revenue is growing, it is insufficient to overcome the severe liquidity and solvency challenges, making the company's financial position highly precarious.
