EXPLANATORY NOTE


This Amendment No. 1 to Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed to amend certain financial information reported under Item 4.02 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 16, 2019 and add an exhibit under Item 9.01.


ITEM 4.02 NON-RELIANCE ON PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR A RELATED AUDIT REPORT OR COMPLETED INTERIM REVIEW.


On August 26, 2019, a Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”) of Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions Inc. (the “Registrant”), was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and on August 29, 2019 the Registrant filed an amendment to its 2019 Form 10-K with the SEC (“Amendment”) (The 2019 Form 10-K and Amendment collectively the “Original Filing”).


Fruci & Associates II, PLLC (“Fruci”) the Registrant’s independent registered public accounting, firm notified the Company on September 26, 2019 of a potentially material error in our accounting for certain warrants for the year ended February 28, 2019. This error was discussed with the board of directors and the Company which researched whether or not a change in accounting was warranted and it was determined that a change was required. This error resulted in an overstatement of stock-based compensation and paid in capital of $733,298. The Registrant has concluded that these calculations (“Calculations”) in its audited financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2019, which are included in the Registrant’s Form 10-K for that period, can no longer be relied upon. Specifically, the Registrant’s consolidated balance sheet will be affected, with a decrease in paid –in capital and a corresponding increase in retained earnings due to this accounting error resulting in financial restatements. Additionally, there will be a material change in the consolidated statement of operations with a reduction in general and administrative expenses.


Fruci and the Registrant, having no audit committee, through its Board of Directors, both agreed that due to the Calculations, the financial statements for the period ended February 28, 2019 should not be relied upon, until recalculated. Fruci also determined that the auditor’s report cannot as a result, be relied upon as filed, and the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm will be reissued in the restated Report on Form 10-K. Accordingly, while no significant other changes are anticipated save those mentioned above, the Original Filing should not be relied upon at this time.


The Registrant anticipates the matter being fully resolved within the next few business days and intends to file a restated Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2019, as soon as practicable thereafter.


The Registrant provided Fruci with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K/A Amendment No. 1. Fruci furnished a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of Fruci’s letter dated October 25, 2019, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.
