NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
(Unaudited)
 
 
NOTE 1 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 
Accounting principles
 
 
In the opinion of management, the accompanying balance sheets and related interim statements of income and comprehensive income, and cash flows include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Company’s 2013 Form 10-K filed on June 12, 2013 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
 
Estimates
 
 
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists: An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. For example, an entity should not evaluate whether the deferred tax asset expires before the statute of limitations on the tax position or whether the deferred tax asset may be used prior to the unrecognized tax benefit being settled. The amendments in this Update do not require new recurring disclosures. ASU Topic No. 2013 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-05, Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity: This ASU addresses the accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. ASU Topic No. 2013-05 is effective for our fiscal year 2014, although early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In March 2013, the FASB issued guidance on a parent’s accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. This new guidance requires that the parent release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. The new guidance will be effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2014. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, which amends the authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 220 Comprehensive Income.  The amendments do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements.  However, the amendments require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component.  In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period.  For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts.  The amendments in this update are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013.  Early adoption is permitted.  Adoption of this update is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Reclassifications
 
Certain reclassifications have been made to the comparative financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.
 

 
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  During the Nine Months ended November 30, 2013 and November 30, 2012, the Company incurred losses of $9,293,065 and $8,582,274, respectively and had negative cash flows from operating activities of $5,228,740 and $4,141,339, respectively.

If the Company is unable to generate profits and is unable to continue to obtain financing for its working capital requirements, it may have to curtail its business sharply or cease business altogether.
 
Substantial additional capital resources will be required to fund continuing expenditures related to our research, development, manufacturing and business development activities.  The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to retain its current financing, to obtain additional financing, and ultimately to attain profitability.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that could result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Convertible Notes have a variable conversion price. If, at any time while the Notes remain outstanding, the Company issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is less than the then Conversion Price of the Notes (such lower price, the "Dilutive Price"), then the Conversion Price of these Notes shall be adjusted to reflect such Dilutive Price. Such adjustment shall be made upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security bearing a dilutive price. In the event of default for the Notes, the amount of principal and interest not paid when due becomes immediately due and payable.

Our effective tax rates were approximately 0.0% for the Nine Months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012. Our effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the fact that we record a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, which is primarily comprised of net operating losses.

Overview
 
 
We design, assemble and sell the AuraGen®, our patented mobile power generator that uses a prime mover such as the engine of a vehicle to generate power. The AuraGen® delivers on-location, plug-in electricity for any end use, including industrial, commercial, recreational and military applications. We began commercializing the AuraGen® in late 1999 and sold our first commercial units in late 2000 and early 2001. To date, AuraGen® units have been sold in numerous industries, including recreational, utilities, telecommunications, emergency/rescue, public works, catering, oil and gas, transportation, government and the military.
 
 
We have not yet achieved a level of AuraGen® sales sufficient to generate positive cash flow. Accordingly, we have depended on repeated infusions of cash in order to maintain liquidity as we have sought to develop sales.
 
 
Our financial statements included in this report have been prepared on the assumption that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, as a result of our losses from operations, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our independent auditors, in their report on the Company’s financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2013 expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.   The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amount and classification of liabilities that may result from our possible inability to continue as a going concern.
 
 
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the successful achievement of profitable operations, and the ability to generate sufficient cash from operations and obtain financing resources to meet our obligations.  There is no assurance that such efforts will be successful.
 
 
Our current level of sales reflects our efforts to introduce a new product into the marketplace. Until recently, many purchases of the product were for evaluation purposes. Recently we started to receive repeat orders for larger quantities as different organizations are integrating our products into their vehicles. We seek to achieve profitable operations by obtaining market acceptance of the AuraGen® as a competitive - if not superior - product providing mobile power anywhere anytime. There can be no assurance that this success will be achieved.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and disclosures on the date of the financial statements. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to revenue recognition. We use authoritative pronouncements, historical experience and other assumptions as the basis for making judgments. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
We are required to make judgments based on historical experience and future expectations, as to the reliability of shipments made to our customers. These judgments are required to assess the propriety of the recognition of revenue based on Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue Recognition," and related guidance. Because sales are currently in limited volume and many sales are for evaluative purposes, we have not booked a general reserve for returns. We will consider an appropriate level of reserve for product returns when our sales increase to commercial levels.

Inventory Valuation and Classification
 
Inventories consist primarily of components and completed units for our AuraGen® product. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Provision is made for estimated amounts of current inventories that will ultimately become obsolete due to changes in the product itself or vehicle engine types that go out of production. We are holding inventories in excess of what we expect to sell in the next fiscal year. The net inventories which are not expected to be realized within a 12-month period based on current sales forecasts have been reclassified as long term. Management believes that existing inventories can, and will, be sold in the future without significant costs to upgrade it to current models and that the valuation of the inventories, classified both as current and long-term assets, accurately reflects the realizable values of these assets. The AuraGen® product being sold currently is not technologically different from those in current use. Existing finished goods inventories can be upgraded to the current model with only a small amount of materials and manpower. We make these assessments based on the following factors: i) existing orders, ii) age of the inventory, iii) historical experience and iv) our expectations as to future sales. If expected sales volumes do not materialize, there would be a material impact on our financial statements.
 
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
 
Long-lived assets, consisting primarily of property and equipment, and patents and trademarks, comprise a portion of our total assets.  Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying value of an asset to the future net cash flows expected to be generated by those assets. Net cash flows are estimated based on expectations as to the realize-ability of the asset. Factors that could trigger a review include significant changes in the manner of an asset’s use or our overall strategy.
 
 
Specific asset categories are treated as follows:
 
 
Accounts Receivable: We record an allowance for doubtful accounts based on our expectation of collect-ability of current and past due accounts receivable.
 
 
Property, Plant and Equipment: We depreciate our property and equipment over various useful lives ranging from five to ten years. Adjustments are made as warranted when market conditions and values indicate that the current value of an asset is less than its net book value.
 
 
When we determine that an asset is impaired, we measure any such impairment by discounting an asset’s realizable value to the present using a discount rate appropriate to the perceived risk in realizing such value. When we determine that an impaired asset has no foreseeable realizable value, we write such asset down to zero.
 
 
Results of Operations
 
 
Nine months ended November 30, 2013 compared to nine months ended November 30, 2012
 
 
Net revenues for the nine months ended November 30, 2013 (the “Nine months FY2014”) decreased $10,047 to $2,276,449 from $2,286,496 in the nine months ended November 30, 2012 (the “Nine months FY2013”), a decrease of .4%. Our customers typically order on an as needed basis and therefore our sales can fluctuate substantially between periods based on our customers’ needs at a given time.
 
 
Cost of goods decreased $131,216 (11.9%) to $973,458 in the Nine months FY2014 from $1,104,674 in the Nine months FY2013. The decrease in cost of goods is primarily a result of the mix of products sold during the period.
 
 
Engineering, research and development expenses increased $81,802 (8%) to $1,090,756 in the Nine months FY2014 from $1,008,954 in the Nine months FY 2013.  In the past, we have reduced our expenditures in this area due (i)our financial situation, and (ii) due to reduced efforts in developments of new configurations.  With major new contracts and customers we now expect our expenditures in this area to increase in the future.

Selling, general and administrative expense decreased $1,337,292 (17%) to $6,686,790 in the Nine months FY2014 from $8,024,082 in the Nine months FY2013. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in legal expenses of approximately $1,163,000 and a decrease in marketing expenses of approximately $539,000, partially offset by an increase in non-cash charges of $227,000 for stock issued to a member of our Board of Directors as compensation for joining our Board. The decrease in legal expenses was due to a settlement of a lawsuit against our former bankruptcy attorneys in the amount of $2,095,000 in the Nine months FY2013. Of this amount approximately $1,155,000 in legal expenses were incurred.
 
 
Net interest expense in the Nine months FY2014 increased $197,001 (7%) to $3,031,227 from $2,834,226 in the Nine months FY2013 as a result of our increased debt levels and the non-cash amortization of the debt discount and warrant expense of the notes payable entered into in the current year, partially offset by the decrease in the non-cash amortization of the debt discount, warrant expense and beneficial conversion feature on the financing completed in the third quarter of FY2012 which was fully repaid in the first quarter of FY2014.
 
 
Other income for the Nine months FY2014 decreased $2,093,559 to $9,607 from $2,103,166 in the Nine months FY2013 as a result of the legal settlement we entered into with our former bankruptcy attorneys in the amount of $2,095,000 in the Nine months FY 2013.
 
 
Our net loss for the Nine months FY2014 increased $710,791 to $9,293,065 from $8,582,274 in the Nine months FY2013, primarily as a result of the recording of $2,095,000 in income from the settlement of a legal dispute noted above offset by the additional legal expenses of $845,000 in FY2013, partially offset by the  increase in the interest expense noted above of $197,000.
 
 
Three months ended November 30, 2013 compared to three months ended November 30, 2012
 
 
Net revenues for the three months ended November 30, 2013 (the “Third Quarter FY2014”) decreased $362,490 to $852,534 from $1,215,024 in the three months ended November 30, 2012 (the “Third Quarter FY2013”), a decrease of 30%. Our customers typically order on an as needed basis and therefore our sales can fluctuate substantially between periods based on our customers’ needs at a given time.
 
 
Cost of goods decreased $303,145 (47%) to $341,503 in the Third Quarter FY2014 from $644,648 in the Third Quarter FY2013. The decrease in cost of goods is primarily a result of the decrease in sales.
 
 
Engineering, research and development expenses increased $74,794 (24%) to $387,056 in the Third Quarter FY2014 from $312,262 in the Third Quarter FY 2013. These expenses have decreased in prior periods, but are expected to continue to increase in future periods.
 
 
Selling, general and administrative expense decreased $1,649,259 (47%) to $1,847,365 in the Third Quarter FY2014 from $3,496,624 in the Third Quarter FY2013. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in legal expenses of $1,090,000 primarily associated with a legal settlement in the prior year, expenses of approximately $140,000 incurred in moving our production facilities to our headquarters building in the prior year, a decrease in temporary and consulting expense of approximately $120,000, a reduction in marketing expenses of approximately $80,000 and a reduction in payroll and payroll related expenses of approximately $225,000.
 
 
Net interest expense in the Third Quarter FY2014 decreased $149,770 (15%) to $859,361 from $1,009,131 in the Third Quarter FY2013 as a result of our increased debt levels, offset by a decrease in the amortization of the debt discount, warrant expense and beneficial conversion feature on the financing completed in the third quarter of FY2012, which was fully amortized and repaid in the first quarter FY2014.
 
 
Other income for the Third Quarter FY2014 decreased to $0 from $2,095,000 in the Third Quarter FY2013 as a result of the legal settlement we entered into with our former bankruptcy attorneys in the amount of $2,095,000 in the Third Quarter FY2013.
 
 
Our net loss for the Third Quarter FY2014 increased $430,110 to $2,582,751 from $2,152,641 in the Third Quarter FY2013, primarily as a result of the decrease in gross profit due to the decrease in sales, the increase in engineering, research and development expenses, partially offset by the decrease in interest expense, the decrease in legal expense and the decrease in other income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
 
We had cash of approximately $58,000 and $89,000 as of November 30, 2013, and February 28, 2013, respectively.  We had a working capital deficit at November 30, 2013, and February 28, 2013 of $25,061,693 and $21,986,904, respectively. The working capital deficit includes notes payable and accrued interest to related parties of $19,144,583 and $17,265,466 as of November 30, 2013 and February 28, 2013, respectively.  As of November 30, 2013, we had accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, of $572,652 compared to $279,551 as of February 28, 2013. 
 
 
Net cash used in operations for the Nine Months ended November 30, 2013, was $5,228,740, an increase of $1,087,401 from the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. Net cash provided by financing activities during the Nine Months ended November 30, 2013, was $5,197,450, resulting from net proceeds from notes payable.
 
 
There were no acquisitions of property and equipment in the Nine Months FY 2014 or the Nine Months FY 2013.
 
 
Accrued expenses as of November 30, 2013 increased $671,783 to $2,273,523 from $1,601,740 as of February 28, 2013. Approximately $1,447,000 of accrued expenses is salaries accrued but unpaid to certain employees and ex-employees due to a lack of resources, and approximately $463,000 is accrued but unused vacation time earned by employees.
 
 
Net proceeds from the issuance of debt totaled $5,197,450 in the Nine Months FY 2014, compared with $4,174,210 in the Nine Months FY 2013. Net debt proceeds of $82,000 in the Nine Months of FY2014 were from our CEO, and debt repayments totaling $306,250 were made on the $3.5 million financing completed in the third quarter fiscal 2012. As of November 30, 2013, the total amount owing a board member is $13,819,960 plus accrued interest of approximately $4,478,000. If the board member were to demand repayment, we do not currently have the resources to make the payment. We also had net proceeds of $2,500,000 from another board member in the Nine Months of FY2014 from a convertible note we entered into plus an additional $750,000 from a demand note payable. The total amount owing this board member at November 30, 2013 is $1,880,517 net of unamortized discount of $8,590, plus accrued interest of approximately $8,590 on the convertible note and $750,000 plus accrued interest of $9,150 on the demand note.
 
 
The Company had a deficit of $26,799,844 in shareholders’ equity as of November 30, 2013, compared to $21,598,286 as of February 28, 2013. The deficit includes approximately $16.2 million of non-cash expenses resulting from charges for stock option and warrant expense for fiscal years 2008 through the first nine months of fiscal year 2014.
 
Since 2002 substantially all of our revenues from operations have been derived from sales of the AuraGen®. The cash flow generated from our operations to date has not been sufficient to fund our working capital needs, and we cannot predict when operating cash flow will be sufficient to fund working capital needs.
 
In the past, in order to maintain liquidity we have relied upon external sources of financing, principally equity financing and private indebtedness. We have no bank line of credit and require additional debt or equity financing to fund ongoing operations. The issuance of additional shares of equity in connection with any such financing could dilute the interests of our existing stockholders, and such dilution could be substantial. If we cannot raise needed funds, we would also be forced to make further substantial reductions in our operating expenses, which could adversely affect our ability to implement our current business plan and ultimately our viability as a company.
 
 
Capital Transactions
 
 
During the quarter ended November 30, 2013, we did not issue any shares of our Common Stock.
 
 
During the quarter ended November 30, 2012, we issued 65,789 shares of Common Stock for services rendered valued at $50,000 and 134,807 shares upon conversion of $102,454 of notes payable and accrued interest.

Inventories
 
 
Inventories consist primarily of components and completed units of the Company’s AuraGen® product.
 
 
Early in our AuraGen® program, we determined it was most cost-effective to outsource production of components and subassemblies to volume-oriented manufacturers, rather than produce these parts in house. As a result of this decision, and based on then anticipated sales, we purchased, prior to fiscal 2001, a substantial inventory of components at volume prices. Since sales did not meet such expectations, we have been selling product from this inventory for several years. Management has analyzed its inventories based on its current business plan, current potential orders for future delivery, and pending proposals with prospective customers and has determined that we do not expect to realize all of its inventories within the next year. The net inventories as of November 30, 2013 and February 28, 2013, which are not expected to be realized within a 12-month period have been reclassified as long term.
 
 
Most of our inventory consists of a variety of (i) metallic, mechanical components, and (ii) electrical components including metallic chassis to hold the assembled electrical systems.  The vast majority of mechanical components are not aged and most of the electrical components are also not aged.  The components that are aged are related to the prime mover/Generator interface that may not be in demand any longer.
 
 
Currently, we offer and ship three different basic models of systems; (i) a 5 kW based systems, (ii) an 8.5 kW based system and (iii) a 16 kW based systems (two 8.5 kW systems configured in tandem back-to-back).  Each of these systems can be configured with different options such as 110 VAC only, 220 VAC only, 24 VDC only, 12 VDC only and AC/DC combinations of the same or different voltages.  In addition, the system can be configured with single phase, split phase or three-phase output.
 
 
A number of the mechanical components are common to all three of the above configurations, while others are very specific.  For example, the stators and rotors for the 5 kW systems are different from the 8.5 kW systems, but the housings are the same.  Similarly, the electrical components consist of some parts that are geared for a specific configuration while others are generic and can be used for all of the configurations.   The electrical chassis are also interchangeable between the 5 kW and 8.5 kW configurations. Due to the nature and mix of the product being sold, frequently, the 5 kW electrical systems are upgraded to 8.5 kW systems by replacing some components.
 
 
From the above description one can understand that the inventory consists of numerous components and subassemblies but not finished systems; therefore each system that is sold and shipped to a customer is built from some components that are in inventory and others that need to be purchased to be able to configure the required system.
 
 
Currently, most of the product being shipped consists of 8.5 kW systems.  These systems are built by using existing inventory subassemblies and parts, including some that can be used for both 5 kW and 8.5 kW systems, and additional parts that are purchased to provide the required configuration.  Typically such systems are built using approximately 20 to 25 percent of existing inventory and approximately 75% of additional parts that are purchased.
 
 
However, most of the systems currently being sold to the Korean military consist of 5 kW systems.  They have been purchasing approximately 100 systems per year and have indicated to us that they will continue to do so for the next five years.  To date we have shipped over 500 such systems (in this case 100% of the rotors and stators are used from existing inventory and over 50% of the electrical parts are also from inventory).
 
 
In addition to the above, we constantly see demand for different and unique configurations that require the purchase of additional parts.
