PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Introduction

We design, assemble and sell the AuraGen®, our patented mobile power generator that uses the engine of a vehicle or any other prime mover to generate electric power. The AuraGen® delivers on-location, plug-in electricity for any end use, including industrial, commercial, recreational and military applications. The AuraGen® system consists of three primary subsystems (i) the patented axial design alternator, (ii) the electronic control unit (“ECU”) and (iii) mounting kit that is a mechanical interface between the alternator and the prime mover. Compared to the traditional solutions addressing the multi-billion dollar North American mobile power market (i.e., Gensets, traditional alternators, permanent magnet alternators, dynamic and static inverters), we believe the AuraGen® provides alternating current (“AC”) power as well as simultaneous direct current (“DC”) power with greater reliability and flexibility at a lower cost to the end user and significantly environmentally cleaner. We began commercializing the AuraGen® in late 1999 as a 5,000-watt 120/240V AC machine compatible with certain Chevrolet engine models. In 2001, we added an 8,000 watt configuration and also introduced AC/DC and the Inverter Charger System (“ICS”) options. In Fiscal 2008, we introduced a dual system that generates up to 16,000-watts of continuous power and we plan to introduce additional power configurations during calendar 2010. We now have configurations available for more than 90 different engine types, including a majority of General Motors and Ford models, some Chrysler models and numerous other engine models made by International, Isuzu, Nissan, Hino (Toyota), Mitsubishi, Caterpillar, Detroit Diesel, Cummins, and Freightliner. Also starting in fiscal 2008, the AuraGen has been installed on a number of boats for both government and recreational end users. In the middle of fiscal 2009, we introduced and began to sell our all-electric Transport Refrigeration Unit (“TRU”) for mid size trucks. The system consists of the AuraGen power solution and an all-electric transport refrigeration system. To date, AuraGen® units have been sold in numerous industries, including transport refrigeration, utilities, telecommunications, emergency/rescue, public works, catering, oil and gas, transportation, government and the military.

In May 2008, we entered into an agreement with Emerald Commercial Leasing, Inc., of Conley, Georgia, whereby we acquired the transport refrigeration assets of Emerald, including all rights to drawings, designs, sketches, layouts integration know-how, parts, and vendor lists for the all electric refrigeration system based on commercial refrigeration design valued at approximately $385,000. In addition, the agreement returns the previously assigned exclusive selling rights for the transport refrigeration industry to Aura. As a result, Aura was able to offer a complete TRU solution to its customers. We reached an agreement in principle to purchase their service facility for $1,050,000. The facility consists of approximately 6 acres of land and a building of approximately 10,000 square feet with several truck service bays and a small amount of office space. The facility was to be used by Aura for warehousing, service, and installation of the AuraGen for customers in the southeastern United States. Due to the national economic down turn, and in particular the uncertainties in the real estate market, the purchase of the facility was put on indefinite hold, and Aura rented the facility on a month-to-month basis for $7,000 per month. Mr. Joseph Dickman, Emerald’s President, joined Aura as Senior Vice President of sales for OEM applications. In December 2009, we terminated our lease arrangements with Emerald, settled all outstanding balances, moved into a new 8,000 square facility in McDonough Georgia and terminated our relationship with Mr. Dickman.

In March 2010, we entered into a strategic alliance with Zanotti of North America. Zanotti is a 50-year-old Italian company specializing in refrigeration for the food industry with distribution in over 70 countries. The strategic alliance consists of Zanotti providing to Aura all electric transport refrigeration systems that will support both the midsize trucks and refrigeration trailers. All of Zanotti’s North America dealers (currently approximately 70) will provide service and installation for Aura’s all-electric transport refrigeration solution (“AETRU”). The alliance also calls for Aura to exclusively use only Zanotti’s refrigeration systems and in return, Zanotti, directly or through its dealer network, is required to generate sales of no less than 1,000 systems of Aura’s AETRU during the first 24 months of the agreement and thereafter no less than 750 systems per year in order to maintain its’ exclusivity. In addition Zanotti North America agreed to provide Aura with a credit facility for the purchase of the refrigeration systems. Currently the parties are working closely on optimizing the AETRU packages as well as on a joint marketing plan. Deliveries of the Aura/Zanotti AETRU are expected to start in June 2010.

applications to WePower, and in return Aura will be the exclusive supplier of generators to WePower for their wind-turbines. The agreement required WePower to purchase from Aura a minimum of 3,000 systems per year. The domestic as well as the global economic recession has caused significant slowdown in demand for small wind turbines and WePower, like others in its industry, has drastically revised downward their forecast from 3,000 annual units to less than 700 systems per year. The delivery of the initial order for 700 systems has been extended to 2011. In order to meet the WePower requirements we have to customize the AuraGen by changing the number of poles in the machine to allow for lower RPM power generation. Aura is yet to perform this required customization, which involves changing the winding on the stators. We anticipate the completion of the customization during the third quarter of fiscal 2011 and expect to begin delivery of systems to WePower during the current fiscal year.

In June 2009 we entered into an exclusive commercial and industrial distribution agreement with Genergy Inc. for the distribution of AuraGen products in the Republic of Korea (ROK). The initial agreement was for a period of five years with automatic renewals for two two-year periods, provided the distributor has complied with all of its obligations. Under the agreement, Genergy Inc. is required to purchase a minimum of $9.5 million over the initial contract life to retain the distribution agreement. By the end of 2009 Genergy Inc. failed to pay the initial required fees and Aura terminated the agreement. We are currently exploring any legal remedies that may be available.

Seokmun Inc. a South Korean company has been Aura’s distributor for military applications since 2006. Seokmun in 2007 won a 10-year program from the Korean Army to deliver 1,000 AuraGen VIPERs (100 per year). To date Aura has delivered 300 such systems and will deliver the next 100 systems later this year. In addition Seokmun was successful in winning the NRRS Korean military program for approximately 132 dual VIPER systems to be delivered over the next three-year period. In addition there are numerous other VIPER programs currently under consideration by the South Korean military. Due to the successful business relationship, Aura has recently entered into discussions with Seokmun to also become our commercial and industrial distributor in South Korea.

The AuraGen®

The AuraGen® is composed of three basic subsystems. The first subsystem is the generator that is bolted to, and driven by, the vehicle's engine or any other prime mover. The second subsystem is the ECU, which filters, conditions the electricity to provide clean, steady voltages for both AC and DC power, and provides for variable speed applications as well as load following for increased efficiency (load following means that at any instant the power generated is equal to the power demanded up to the maximum rated power). The third subsystem consists of mounting brackets and supporting components for installation and integration of the generator with the vehicle engine or the prime mover.

The AuraGen is a load following machine, and is now available in three continuous power levels, (a) 5,000 watts AC/DC, (b) 8,000 watts AC/DC and (c) 16,000 watts AC/DC. All AC power is pure sine wave with total harmonic distortion of less than 2.1% and is available in both 120 VAC and or 240 VAC. In addition, the power generated on all models can be partitioned to provide simultaneous AC and 14 or 28 volts of DC or only DC, if required by the user. The AuraGen power levels can be generated as the prime mover speed varies from stationary to maximum rated speed. The VIPER (the military version of the AuraGen® system includes as an option a complete power management system which (i) monitors in real time the batteries’ voltage and temperature, (ii) provides a partition of the power between AC and DC simultaneously with the ability to be programmed from all AC to all DC, (iii) monitors the RPM of the generator, (iv) monitors the temperatures of the generator and the ECU, (iv) monitors the raw power generated, (v) monitors both the AC and DC loads as to voltage and current, (vi) provides programming of load prioritization and load shedding, and (vii) monitors the voltage of the internal 400VDC buss.

We provide custom engineered brackets for our models that attach to over 90 different engine and chassis models. We also provide Power Take Off (“PTO”) and hydraulic driven interfaces for bigger trucks that do not involve direct attachment to the vehicle engine.

Mobile and Remote (not power grid connected) Power Industry

The mobile and remote power generation market is large and growing. Vehicles used in the telecommunications, utilities, public works, construction, catering, and oil and gas industries, emergency/rescue and military and recreational vehicles rely heavily on mobile power for their internal systems. In addition, mobile work sites require on-location electricity to power equipment ranging from computers to power tools. Hybrid vehicles are rapidly penetrating the market place and require a significant amount of on board electric power. In addition to vehicle

related applications, wind turbines and other stationary applications require a solution that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

Based on studies conducted by the U.S. government, Business Communications Company, Inc. and others, we estimate the annual gross North American market for non hybrid vehicle related mobile power generation use in 2008 was at least $2.5 billion and growing. Worldwide growth is expected to be fueled by increases in the development and construction of industrial infrastructures, significant growth in homeland security expenditures, and increased use of sophisticated electronic equipment in underdeveloped areas where grid-based electricity is unavailable or unreliable. We also believe that mobile power has become increasingly important as backup to electric grid power supply. The need for on board power for hybrid vehicles is increasing rapidly and is expected to surpass demand for 500,000 annual units shortly. Global environmental awareness and considerations are driving the demand for wind-power and the market is estimated in many billions of dollars annually. All wind generated power systems use a generator to convert wind energy to electric energy. The AuraGen provides a variable speed efficient generator to convert the mechanical energy harvested by the wind turbine from the wind energy to electrical energy. WePower currently focuses on small to medium (1-100 kW) vertical wind turbines and under the agreement the AuraGen will be used exclusively by WePower for its vertical wind turbines. The current AuraGen configuration is designed to provide power in the 1-8.5 kW range, and for higher power levels we combine multiple AuraGens on a common shaft. To date we have successfully combined two units on a single shaft to provide 16 kW of power. While in principal there is no difference between combining 2 or more AuraGens on a single shaft, we have not done so as of yet. During 2010 we plan to develop an AuraGen capable of generating 30 kW and up to 100 kW of power without the need of combining systems.

The traditional available solutions for mobile and remote power users are:

Gensets, Gensets are standalone power generation units that are not incorporated into a vehicle and require external fuel, either gasoline or diesel, in order to generate electricity. Gensets (i) are generally noisy and cumbersome to transport because of their weight and size, (ii) typically run at constant speed to generate 50 or 60 Hz of AC power, (iii) must be operated at a significant part of the rated power to avoid wet staking, (iv) are significantly derated in the presence of harmonics in the loads and (v) require significant scheduled maintenance and service. Genset technology has been utilized since the 1950s.

High-Output Alternators, High-output alternators are traditionally found in trucks and commercial vehicles and the vehicle’s engine is used as the prime mover. All high-output alternators provide their rated power at very high RPM and significantly less power at lower RPM. In addition, high-output alternators are generally only 30% efficient at the low RPM range and increase to 50% efficiency at the high end of the RPM range. The power generated by high-output alternators is 12 or 24 Volt DC and an inverter is required if 120 Volt AC power is needed. In addition, due to the low power output at low RPMs, in order to get significant power, a throttle controller is used to speed-up the engine.

Inverters, Inverters are devices that invert battery DC to AC. Inverters as mobile power generators are traditionally used in low power requirements, typically less than 2,500 watts, and do not have the ability to recharge the batteries used as the source of power. Thus, typical inverter users require other means to recharge the used batteries such as “shore-power” or gensets. More recently dynamic inverters became available. Dynamic inverters use power from the alternator to augment power from the batteries and are able to achieve power levels in excess of 6,000 watts. Dynamic inverters introduce significant stresses on both the batteries and alternators, which causes significant life shortening for both. Dynamic inverters use power from the alternator. When the inverter is turned on, the alternator is switched off from the vehicle battery and tied into a transformer that uses electronics controls to change the DC alternator inputs to AC inverter output. A separate transformer winding provides battery charging so that fully regulated 120 Volt AC and 12 Volt DC power is available as long as the engine is running at high enough RPM to provide power for the load and the battery charging. All dynamic inverters require a high-output alternator to be able to output significant AC power. As is often the case, the limiting factor is the high-output alternator. In order to get stable output, a very accurate throttle controller is also needed to maintain steady speed on the engine.

Permanent-Magnet Alternators. Recently a number of companies have introduced alternators using exotic permanent magnets. These alternators tend to have higher power generation capabilities than regular alternators at lower engine RPM. In order to be practical in an under-the–hood environment (200oF) active cooling must be added, since the magnets are demagnetized at approximately 176oF. There are other issues

that require an active control system that will add and subtract magnetic field strength as the engine RPM increases.

Wind Turbines. Wind turbines convert wind energy into mechanical energy (prime mover). The mechanical energy is converted into electric energy through a generator. Traditional generators operate at one speed. Because the wind energy varies continuously and is unpredictable a gearbox and transmission is needed to provide the constant speed required by the generator. In addition traditional wind turbines require the capability of moving the blades into and out of the wind. There are two types of wind turbines, (i) the traditional large horizontal machines, and (ii) smaller vertical axis machines. The horizontal machines must be turned into the wind and away from the wind when the wind speed is too large. The vertical machines capture the wind from all directions and do not require a mechanism to move them into the wind. However typically they do require a brake to slow down the machine when the wind speeds are too great.

Fuel Cells. Fuel cells are solid-state devices that produce electricity by combining a fuel containing hydrogen with oxygen. They have a wide range of applications, and can be used in place of the internal combustion engine and traditional lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries. The most widely deployed fuel cells cost about $4,500 per kilowatt.

Batteries. Batteries convert stored chemical energy to electrical energy.

Competition

The industry in which we operate is competitive. The primary competition for the AuraGen® is the Genset industry, and there are approximately 44 Genset manufacturers in the United States. These competitors include: Onan, Honda and Kohler.

There are many high-output alternator manufacturers. Some of the better known ones are Delco-Remy, Bosch, Nippon Densu, Hitachi, Mitsubishi and Prestolite.

There are many manufacturers of standard electric generators. Some of the better known ones are General Electric, Westinghouse, and ABB.

There are many inverter manufacturers; some of the better known are, Trace Engineering, Vanner, and Xentrex.

The main competitors for the all-electric TRU are Thermoking and Carrier. Both Thermoking and Carrier provide diesel based TRUs for midsize trucks. The diesel based comparable systems provided by Thermoking and Carrier are approximately $6,000 less expensive than the Oasis, however they require frequent regular scheduled maintenance and a separate diesel engine that consumes approximately 0.4-0.6 gallons of fuel per operating hour.

We do not compete with anyone for the generators that will be used by WePower since our agreement calls for us to be the sole supplier of generators to WePower. There are a number of small manufacturers who provide vertical wind turbines in direct competition with WePower. These other vertical wind turbine manufacturers use other types of generators such as permanent magnet alternators (see above), or DC and conventional induction machines.

Most of our competitors have greater financial, technical, and marketing resources than the Company, have larger budgets for research, new product development and marketing, and have long-standing customer relationships. We also compete with many larger and more established companies in the hiring and retention of qualified personnel. Our financial condition has limited our ability to market the AuraGen® aggressively.

The AuraGen® uses new technology and has only been available in the marketplace for a few years. As described below, because our product is radically different from traditionally available mobile power solutions, users may require lengthy evaluation periods in order to gain confidence in the product. OEMs and large fleet users also typically require considerable time to make changes to their planning and production.

Because of our limited financial and staff resources, we have focused our sales and marketing activities to a few industrial and military segments. In particular, we have focused on selling to the U.S. military, including the U.S. Coast Guard (the “USCG”), homeland security agencies and emergency/rescue operations, such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

More recently we expanded our focus and are now marketing to companies in the oil and gas segment, the transport refrigeration segment, state and local governments, in particular, the Department of Transportation (“DOT”), and the recreational boating industry.

Competitive Advantages of the AuraGen®

We believe the AuraGen® is a superior product due to its convenience, cost efficiency, fuel efficiency, reliability, flexibility in power output, quality of the electricity generated, and its ability to provide the full power at variable speeds as well as provide load following architecture. The AuraGen® is not sensitive to temperature or altitude variations and generates the rated power at or near idle engine RPM.

The ability to operate at variable speed makes the Aura solution very attractive when the speed of the prime mover varies and is unpredictable, such as wind turbines and automotive applications. The variable speed solution is a direct consequence of our system architecture where we separated the power generation from the power delivery by the power buss.

The load following capability is also a direct result of the system architecture and the separation of the power generation from the power delivery. The user always draws power from the power buss and the generator only fills the power buss with whatever power was drained by the user.

The AuraGen® does not require scheduled maintenance and is offered with a three-year warranty, compared to the typical one-year warranty available for a Genset or inverter.

In addition, the AuraGen® is significantly cleaner for the environment than Gensets, the other generally available mobile power solution. The AuraGen® uses the automotive engine, which is highly regulated for environmental protection. Gensets use small engines that produce significantly higher levels of emissions per unit of power output than the automobile engine.

The all-electric transport refrigeration AETRU system provides an environmentally friendly solution that also provides significant cost savings to the users. When life cycle costs are compared between the AETRU and the diesel based solution over a 7 year period (typical life time for a TRU) the AETRU system could potentially save an average user approximately $20,000. In addition the AETRU solution provides zero emissions since the extra diesel is completely eliminated. This is a significant marketing advantage for those customers who care about the environment. The refrigeration component of the AETRU system is modeled after commercial refrigeration system that does not require any custom parts.

The AuraGen power solution, or wind turbine, is different from all other known solutions in the market place. The AuraGen system architecture that separates the power delivery from the user provides the AuraGen with the ability to provide a system that can ensure the end user of uninterrupted power when wind is just not available as well as load following for higher efficiencies and lower operating costs. In addition, the nature of the AuraGen is such that it can be used as a motor to start the mechanical turbine and also as a brake when wind speeds become too high. The system ability to supply pure sine wave AC power provides the ability to connect to the power grid and the ability to supply DC power allows for charging batteries. The overall system with the built in inverter and bi-directional power supply is significantly cheaper than other solutions where the sine wave inverter alone can cost as much as $0.80 per watt ($4,000 for a 5 kW inverter).

We believe that barriers to entry make it less likely that a product superior to the AuraGen® will become available in the foreseeable future. The inventions upon which the AuraGen® is based are protected by patents issued by the U.S. Patent Office. To our knowledge, there are no other patents for axial induction machines with solid rotors such as the AuraGen®.

Manufacturers and end users of mobile power solutions (including the military) typically require completion of extensive evaluation and approval processes before embracing new systems. After extensive testing, a number of federal, state, DOT departments, and some major industrial companies have approved the AuraGen® for purchase.

Thousands of AuraGen® units are currently being used for multiple applications and in all types of operating environments, providing a good sample set for reliability analysis. The results show very low failure rates, which we are reducing further via minor hardware and software modifications, better assembly procedures and improved installation training. The U.S. Army has performed its own tests and is continuing to test the AuraGen® under severe conditions. The VIPER, in use by the Special Forces and other combat forces, has been air-drop-certified by the U.S. Army and has been, and is, successfully deployed in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom.

The AuraGen® system passed all of the Underwriters Laboratories (“UL”) testing in 2002 and 2003. In late 2004 and early 2005 the U.S. Marine Corps successfully tested the VIPER for safety and other operational capabilities at the Aberdeen Test grounds.

Target Markets

Military, Homeland Security Administration and Other Federal Agencies

We believe the VIPER is a superior mobile power solution compared with existing alternatives for numerous military applications. The VIPER capability to produce both 120 Volt AC and 28 Volt DC power simultaneously at low engine RPM is critical for many military applications. In addition, the VIPER’s power management system provides military users with the ability to monitor the quality and quantity of available power, the state of the on-board batteries, and the ability to prioritize different electric loads. The USCG, after three years of testing, selected the VIPER as the power system for its 190 new patrol boats; SAIC is using the VIPER on all of its VACIS gamma ray scan systems that are used for homeland and base security applications, and numerous units of special forces and regular army are using the VIPER in both Iraq and Afghanistan. The Department of Defense issued a report to Congress in August 2006, which discussed the success of the VIPER in Iraq and Afghanistan. More recently in May 2009, at the Joint Service Power Expo, the Advance Research Lab (a U.S.N. facility) under the U.S. Army contract, presented the results from their testing of numerous alternators to determine their power output at low RPM and at elevated under the hood temperatures that are expected in desert warfare. The results show that our VIPER system was the only tested device that performed as advertised. All the other tested systems only generated approximately 50% of the rated power at idle speed and had significant further de-rating as the temperature increased. Currently a number of military OEMs are exploring the use of the VIPER for various military programs.

Marine

We believe that the AuraGen® is an ideal product for recreational boats with a length of 25 to 50 feet. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration tested the AuraGen® on the “Magna Spirit”, a research vessel, for 3,000 miles on the open ocean and reported flawless performance. The USCG tested the VIPER for three years before choosing it to power 190 new patrol boats. The United States Navy also tested the VIPER for over 10,000 nautical miles with flawless performance. All of these organizations are leaders in the introduction of new technologies and safety for marine applications. More recently a major boat OEM successfully tested the AuraGen® on one of their production boats, and the Company is currently pursuing the required boat related certifications from UL. While the Company is not expecting any delays in getting the required certification, no assurances can be given as to when, or if, such required certification will be completed.

Oil and Gas Industry

The oil and gas industry is a heavy user of mobile power for service. We have identified a number of oil and gas service providers that require the power level, as well as the power quality, generated by the AuraGen®. In particular, there is a need for very large power to start inductive loads such as compressors, fans and electric motors. Typically the starting power required is known as lock rotor and can easily reach 30,000 watts. The AuraGen® ICS design and architecture is such that it can easily support these power levels for the very short times that are required to start the loads. We have demonstrated 30,000 watts starting power for numerous compressors and motors.

Mid - Size Refrigeration Trucks

Mid size refrigeration trucks are used throughout the country for the delivery of food. These trucks typically have a diesel engine mounted over the cab that is used as a generator for the refrigeration unit. The AuraGen® is an ideal power source that can eliminate the need for the extra diesel engine thus reducing operating cost and fuel costs. The AuraGen’s® ability to provide high wattage, start-up power is critical for this application, since a typical refrigeration system requires a two to four horsepower compressor. Such compressors require 20,000 to 30,000 watts of starting power. The Company has now sold over 100 systems for this application and is anticipating significant growth in this segment.

Emergency/Rescue

The emergency/rescue market relies heavily upon mobile power for lights, communications gear, instruments, medical equipment and digital equipment and tools. As the emergency/rescue market has undergone a transition to digital equipment and portable computers, it has experienced constant growth in mobile power needs. Approximately 20 of these organizations have started to use the AuraGen®. The Red Cross has used the AuraGen® to power its communication needs in support of disaster relief during Hurricane Katrina and the wildfires in California in October 2007. In addition, hundreds of fire trucks are now using the AuraGen® as their mobile power source.

Wind Turbines

The market for wind energy is exploding as governments and people are looking for alternative sources of energy. Traditional wind energy solutions are based on horizontal wind turbines with one or more blades. Such machines can vary in size from very small to extremely large with blades that are more than 200 feet long. All such machines require a high tower, and a mechanical system that can rotate the turbine into the wind direction and away from the wind when it becomes too strong. These machines need substantial open space and are not found in cities. A less common solution that is gaining acceptance rapidly is based on a vertical design. In such a design the turbine is always in the wind, considerable less space is needed, it is more aesthetically appealing, and the generator and support equipment can be placed on the ground. WePower is aggressively pursuing the vertical design solution.

The AuraGen is an ideal solution for this application due to the unique design architecture that provides the end user with flexibility and uninterrupted power as wind conditions change. The unique design provides both AC and DC power capabilities allowing easy integration into the grid and ability to charge batteries. The electronic control box also provides the ability to perform at variable speed (wind speed is unpredictable or controllable) without the need for a gearbox or transmission, resulting in both upfront cost savings as well as maintenance and operating cost savings.

Facilities, Manufacturing Process and Suppliers

Our facilities consist of approximately 55,000 square feet in El Segundo, California and 8,000 square feet in McDonough Georgia. The El Segundo facilities consist of two buildings (approximately 27,500 sq ft each), one that is currently being used for assembly and testing using components that are produced by various suppliers and the other is used for general offices, engineering and warehousing. The Georgia facility is used for installation and service. Since December 2007, we have been on a month-to-month lease in the assembly and testing building, and for the second building we entered into a 5-year lease in May 2008. The combined rent for both El Segundo facilities is approximately $55,000 per month. The rent in McDonough is approximately $4,000 per month. We anticipate the consolidation of our two El Segundo facilities during fiscal 2011 into the general office end engineering building. To that end, we are planning leasehold improvements that include expanding the second floor (estimated to cost approximately $200,000) to increase the total available footprint to approximately 45,000 square feet. We feel this facility will be sufficient for our current needs.

Early in our AuraGen® program, we determined it was most cost-effective to outsource production of components and sub-assemblies to volume-oriented manufacturers, rather than produce these parts in-house. As a result of this decision, and based on then anticipated sales, prior to fiscal 2001 we purchased, a substantial inventory of components and sub-assemblies at volume prices. Since sales did not meet our expectations, we have been assembling, testing and selling product from this inventory for several years. In order to renew our inventory of components, we will need to renew contracts with such manufacturers or locate other suitable manufacturers. Since

we emerged from our Chapter 11 reorganization in January 2006, we have renewed our relationships with a number of our old suppliers and are developing relationships with others. To ensure quality and reliability in the field, we use highly qualified suppliers, the majority of which are ISO 9002 compliant.

Distribution and Product Support

We provide a turnkey product and service to support our customers in every area. We have performed all of the development, from basic physics to detailed engineering. We believe our core capabilities provide a solid foundation to resolve technical issues, develop an ongoing line of new products and continually enhance our products.

Our vehicle integration team develops, engineers, and supplies all of the brackets, pulleys, idlers, belts, tensioners and other components that comprise a mounting system. The group also specifies all of the requirements of the AuraGen® to allow its use with other mobile drives, such as hydraulic systems and PTO applications.

Our sales and distribution efforts can be classified into three groups; (i) direct sales, (ii) distribution agreements, and (iii) OEM agreements. We employee a sales force, who is compensated with a modest base salary, and commissions based on sales. Our wind related applications are through the distribution and supply agreement that we entered into with WePower in February 2009. We also have an exclusive distribution agreement in Korea for military applications. We are currently negotiating with a number of other entities for distribution agreements in different parts of the globe. Our AETRU solution is being sold directly with the aid of large national as well as local leasing companies (most refrigeration trucks are leased by the end users) and more recently our strategic alliance with Zanotti North America and their distribution network. We sell directly to the military, government agencies and military contractors. While we have not yet reached any OEM agreements with truck manufacturers, we are working closely with truck manufacturers both domestic and foreign to integrate the AuraGen into their vehicle at the factory or at the port of entry.

Research and Development

We believe that ongoing research and development is important to the success of our product in order to utilize the most recent technology, to develop additional products and additional uses for existing products, to stay current with changes in vehicle manufacture and design and to maintain an ongoing advantage over potential competition. Our engineering, research and development costs increased to approximately $ 2.3 million in fiscal 2010 from $1.9 million in fiscal 2009 and is planned to increase fiscal 2011 to over $2.8 million.

We are engaged in numerous new and enhanced developments of our AuraGen/VIPER both as company sponsored research and development (“R&D”) and contract related R&D activities. Under contracts to the U.S Navy and General Dynamics with additional corporate funds we combined the output of two of our 8.5 kW systems into a single 16 kW circuit. Among other benefits, this provides us the required power solution to pursue the 40,000 BTU refrigeration trailer market. We are also developing a 3-phase solution, which will allow us to provide 3-phase shore power interface to our systems. The 3-phase solution is currently under test and we expect delivery of the first 3-phase system within the first half of the current fiscal year. We have enhanced our coil designs and are completing the required testing. Early results show significant improvements in efficiency with the new coil designs. We are developing a 30 kW system and are starting to examine a 100 kW system. Both of these systems are being developed for military applications. We expect a prototype 30 kW system by the end of the current fiscal year. In the current fiscal year we plan to design and commercialize a 7.5-8 inch system with up to 4 kW of power.

We are also enhancing our ECU to be able to (i) provide more power when the prime mover is off, and (ii) support global 240 voltages. Our current system provides approximately 4 kW when the engine is off and our enhanced system is expected to provide as much as 7 kW with the engine-off mode. To support global voltages we are changing our high voltage buss to 600VDC since global 220V systems are measured between phase and neutral as compared to the USA standards which are phase to phase.

For wind applications we are modifying our machine by increasing the number of poles such that we will have maximum generating power at much lower RPMs (wind turbine speeds are expected to be in the 100s RPM as compared to automotive applications of 1,000 RPM). We expect to have our first 12 pole machines operating by the end of September 2010.

In order to support larger power systems we are redesigning our ECU with a 1,200VDC buss and ability to handle up to 150 amps of excitation current.

Patents and Intellectual Property

Our intellectual property portfolio consists of trademarks, proprietary know-how and patents.

In the area of electromagnetic technology, we have developed numerous magnetic systems and designs that result in a significant increase of magnetic field density per unit volume that can be converted into useful power energy or work. This increase in field density is a factor of three to four, which, when incorporated into mechanical devices, could result in a significant reduction in size and cost of production for the same performance.

The applications of these technological advances are in machines used every day by industrial, commercial and consumers. We have applied technology to numerous applications in industrial machines, such as generators, motors, actuators and linear motors.

The U.S. Patent Office awarded us 29 patents applicable to automotive and industrial applications. Of those patents, four are focused directly on the AuraGen®, seven are basic magnetic actuation, two are for control systems associated with controlling the magnetic fields in different configurations and 16 are focused on the Electromagnetic Valve Actuator (“EVA”) application

The 16 patents associated with the EVA application cover the implementation of a controlled magnetic field as applied to linear motors. Many of the same techniques are implemented into the AuraGen® control systems and, in particular, the control of the high power board used in the new AuraGen® inverter mode, which uses many elements from the EVA application.

We hold the following patents: Nos. 5,734,217; 6,157,175; 6,700,214; 6,700,802; with expiration dates of 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2019 respectively. The above patents cover three areas, as described below

Induction Machine

The basic patent covers a new form of induction machine with superior performance in a much smaller size than conventional machines. The solid cast rotor, the shaped magnetic field, the secondary conduction path through the steel, and the axial magnetic orientations are key components of this innovation.

Control System

This system separates the power generation from the power delivery by introducing a 400 VDC buss. For each cycle of each phase, part of the cycle power is drawn from the bus to run the electronics and energize the coils, while during the other part of the cycle, power is delivered to charge up the buss. The control system must balance all the timing to effect zero voltage change to the buss under dynamic variations of frequency and loads. The ability to optimize in real time the slip frequency is a key innovation in motor and generator control for variable speed, variable frequency, and variable load systems.

Bi-Directional Power Supply (“BDP”)

The patented ICS system developed by Aura provides a new capability in power systems. The BDP allows a system to use multiple sources of power simultaneously. It is a key component in providing the ability to deliver both AC and DC power simultaneously, as well as the ability to handle large power surges without the need for a throttle controller.

Employees

As of May 17, 2010, we employed 61 persons, of which all are full time. We are not a party to any collective bargaining agreements.

Significant Customers

During the year ended February 28, 2010, we conducted business with three major customers whose net sales comprised 18.1%, 14.5% and 13.1% of net sales, respectively. As of February 28, 2010, 34.4% of net accounts receivable were due from these customers. During the year ended February 28, 2009, we conducted business with two major customers whose sales comprised 16.2% and 10.2% of net sales, respectively. As of February 28, 2009, three customers accounted for 30% of net accounts receivable.

Backlog

As of May 11, 2010, we had a backlog of approximately $32.6 million. Of this amount, approximately $13.5 million is expected to be delivered during fiscal 2011. Approximately $3.0 million of the backlog scheduled to be delivered after fiscal 2011 is subject to cancellation or renegotiation at the convenience of the U.S. government. At the prior year comparable period, we had a backlog of approximately $29.5 million, of which initially approximately $23.5 million was scheduled to be delivered after the 2010 fiscal year. Numerous slowdowns and delays by customers resulted in only half of the scheduled backlog for fiscal 2010 (approximately $3 million) to actually be shipped during fiscal 2010.

At the prior year comparable period, we had a backlog of approximately $29.5 million, of which approximately $23.5 million was for delivery after the 2010 fiscal year.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

Risk Factors Relating to Our Business

We have a history of losses and we may not be profitable in any future period.

In each fiscal year since our organization in 1987 we have not made an operating profit. We have an accumulated deficit in excess of $380 million from our inception through February 28, 2010. Since emerging from bankruptcy in January 2006, we have incurred approximately $36 million in losses. We cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability or positive cash flow.

If we are unable to raise capital, our ability to implement our current business plan and ultimately our viability as a company could be adversely affected.

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 June 2005 we were forced to file for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, from which we emerged under a court-approved plan of reorganization on January 31, 2006.

In the past, in order to maintain liquidity we have relied upon external sources of financing, principally equity financing and private and bank indebtedness. We have no bank line of credit and require additional debt or equity financing to fund ongoing operations. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, our shareholders' percentage ownership will be reduced, they may experience additional dilution, and these newly issued equity securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of our current shareholders. As of the date of this report we have no commitments for debt or equity and there are no assurances that financing will be available when needed. In January 2010 we retained Cappello Capital Corp. as our exclusive financial advisor to assist with our financial needs. Currently, a number of possible parties have shown an interest in investing in the Company but no agreements have been reached yet. If we cannot raise needed funds, we would be forced to make 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.

Our auditors have qualified their report on our financial statements to indicate that there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern, which could adversely affect our ability to obtain third party financing.

Our auditors, Kabani and Company, have qualified their report on the current financial statements to indicate that there is “substantial doubt” about our ability to continue as a going concern. This opinion is based upon our continuing losses from operations and negative working capital position. The existence of the going concern qualification could affect our ability to obtain financing from third parties or could result in increased cost of this financing.

Our success over the short-term depends on the commercial success of the AuraGen® products, as we are not currently engaged in any other line of business.

Because we have focused our business on developing mobile power solutions in the 3,000 to 25,000 watts range, rather than on diversifying into other areas, our success in the foreseeable future will be dependent upon the commercial success of the AuraGen® product line.

We may have difficulty managing our growth.

We will need to hire employees, rebuild our sales and production infrastructure and improve our operating and financial systems in order to effectively manage any significant growth in demand for our products. If we do not effectively manage our growth, we will not be successful in executing our business plan, which could have a material adverse affect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The market acceptance of the AuraGen® is uncertain.

Our business is dependent upon sales generated from the AuraGen® family of products and increasing acceptance of these products. We cannot assure you that our products will achieve broad acceptance in the marketplace. The AuraGen® uses new technology and has only been available in the marketplace for a few years. Our financial condition has limited our ability to market the AuraGen® to potential customers. Because our product is radically different from traditionally available mobile power solutions, users may require lengthy evaluation periods in order to gain confidence in the product. OEMs and large fleet users also typically require considerable time to make changes to their planning and production.

Our business and prospects may be adversely affected by general economic conditions.

The national economic slowdown has resulted in deferred, delayed and cancelled orders commencing in the latter part of fiscal 2009 and may continue to adversely affect market acceptance and use of AuraGen® products.

Our business may be adversely affected by industry competition.

The industry in which we operate is competitive. We face substantial competition from companies that have been offering traditional solutions such as Gensets for the last 50 years, and there are more than 40 Genset manufacturers in the United States. These competitors include: Onan, Honda and Kohler.

In the TRU area we are competing with Thermo-king and Carrier who dominate the business in the USA. Most of our competitors have greater financial resources than we do, have larger budgets for research, new product development and marketing and have long-standing customer relationships. We must compete with many larger and more established companies in the hiring and retention of qualified personnel.

Moreover, this market may attract new competitors that have longer operating histories, greater name recognition and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than us. Our failure to meet our projections for our products’ market acceptance or the ability of our competitors to capture a first mover advantage could have a material adverse impact upon our business, operating results and financial condition. Furthermore, new product introductions or product enhancements by our current or future competitors or the use of other technologies could cause a loss of market acceptance of our products.

We depend on our intellectual property to provide us with a competitive advantage.

We rely on a number of patents and patent applications to protect the AuraGen® products from unauthorized use by competitors. Our efforts to protect our proprietary rights may not prevent infringement by others or ensure that these

rights will provide us with a competitive advantage. We cannot assure you that the patents pending relating to the AuraGen® system or future patent applications will be issued or that any issued patents will not be invalidated, circumvented or challenged.

A portion of our proprietary technology depends upon trade secrets and unpatented technology and proprietary knowledge related to the development, promotion and operation of our products. While we generally enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and vendors, we cannot assure you that our trade secrets and proprietary technology will not become known or be independently developed by competitors in such a manner that we have no practical recourse, and there can be no assurance that others will not develop or acquire equivalent expertise or develop products that render our current or future products noncompetitive or obsolete.

Litigation regarding intellectual property rights could be time-consuming and expensive and could divert our technical and management personnel from their work. We cannot assure you that such litigation expenses will not occur in the future. There also can be no assurance that other parties will not take, or threaten to take, legal action against us, alleging infringement of such parties” patents by our current or proposed products. We cannot assure you that we will have adequate financial resources to successfully institute or defend intellectual property litigation. Insurance coverage to indemnify us against liability for infringement of other parties’ intellectual property rights is either unavailable or prohibitively expensive.

We are dependent upon key employees, and we may face difficulties attracting or retaining key personnel.

Competition for key employees is intense, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to retain our key employees or that we will be able to attract, assimilate and retain other highly qualified personnel in the future. While we may enter into agreements with our employees regarding patents, confidentiality and related matters, we do not generally have employment agreements with our employees. The loss of key personnel, especially without notice, or the inability to hire or retain qualified personnel, particularly given our anticipated growth, could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

We depend on third party manufacturers for certain product components.

We rely extensively on subcontracts with third parties for the manufacture of most components of the AuraGen®. If these providers do not produce these products on a timely basis, if the products do not meet our specifications and quality control standards, or if the products are otherwise flawed, we may have to delay product delivery, or recall or replace unacceptable products. In addition, such failures could damage our reputation and could adversely affect our operating results. As a result, we could lose potential customers and any revenues that we may have at that time may decline dramatically.

Although we generally use standard industrial and electrical parts and components for our products, some of our components are currently available only from a single source or from limited sources. We may experience delays in production of the AuraGen® if we fail to identify alternate vendors or if any parts supply is interrupted or reduced, or if there is a significant increase in production costs or decline in component quality.

We will need to renew sources of supply to meet increases in demand for the AuraGen®.

We purchased the basic components for the AuraGen® units currently being sold under a bulk order placed prior to fiscal 2001. Due to sales not meeting anticipated levels, we have been selling from this inventory. In order to renew this inventory, we will need to renew contracts with such manufacturers or locate other suitable manufacturers. Although we believe that there are a number of potential manufacturers of the components, we cannot assure you that renewed contracts for components can be obtained on favorable terms. Any material adverse change in such contracts could increase our cost of goods.

Risks Relating to Our Common Stock

Because our operating results have been uneven and may continue to fluctuate, this could affect our stock price.

Because our efforts since 1999 have been focused entirely on the introduction of the AuraGen® family of products into the marketplace, our revenues and operating results have been uneven and may continue to be so during our

current fiscal year and beyond. These fluctuations could affect our stock price. Factors which could affect our operating results include:

- The size, timing and shipment of individual orders;

- Market acceptance of our products;

- Development of direct and indirect sales channels; and

- The timing of introduction of new products or enhancements.

We may issue additional shares of our authorized common stock without obtaining the approval of our stockholders.

As of the date of this report, our corporate charter currently authorizes our Board of Directors to issue up to 75,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 53,703,207 shares were outstanding as of May 17, 2010. The power of the Board of Directors to issue authorized shares of common stock is generally not subject to stockholder approval under Delaware state law, the state of our corporate organization. Any additional issuance of our common stock may have the effect of further diluting the equity interest of stockholders, and such dilution could be substantial.

Because our common stock is subject to rules governing low priced securities, market liquidity for our common stock could be adversely impacted.

Our common stock trades below $5.00 per share and is not listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market or a national or regional securities exchange. Therefore, our common stock is subject to the low priced security or so-called “penny stock” rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require, among other things, the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule required by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. These rules also require that the broker determine, based upon information obtained from the investor, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor, and require the broker to obtain the written consent of the investor prior to effecting the penny stock transaction. The broker-dealer must also disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. As long as our common stock is characterized as a penny stock, the market liquidity for these shares could be severely affected. The regulations relating to penny stocks could limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell these securities and, in turn, the ability of stockholders to sell their shares in the secondary market.

The potential exercise of outstanding warrants and options could adversely affect the market price of our common stock, dilute the holdings of existing stockholders and impede our ability to obtain additional equity financing.

As of May 17, 2010, we had outstanding 12,496,293 options and warrants to purchase our common stock at exercise prices ranging between $1.50 and $4.00. If those option and warrant holders exercise these securities, we will be obligated to issue additional shares of common stock at the stated exercise price. As of May 17, 2010, the closing price of our common stock was $0.83 per share. The existence of such rights to acquire common stock at fixed prices may prove a hindrance to our efforts to raise future equity funding, and the exercise of such rights will dilute the percentage ownership interest of our stockholders and may dilute the value of their ownership. Future sale of shares issuable on the exercise of outstanding warrants and options at fixed prices below prevailing market prices, or expectations of such sales, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock, particularly since such warrants or options may be exercised at a fixed price and resold. Further, the holders of the outstanding warrants may exercise them at a time when we would otherwise be able to obtain additional equity capital on terms more favorable to us.

We do not expect to pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

Although our stockholders may receive dividends if, as and when declared by our Board of Directors, we do not presently intend to pay dividends on our common stock until we are able to generate revenues and profits on a

sustained basis and available cash exceeds our working capital requirements. Therefore, you should not purchase our common stock if you need immediate or future income by way of dividends from your investment.

Dividend Policy

We have not paid any dividends on our common stock and we do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

Sales of Unregistered Securities

In the year ended February 28, 2010, we issued 3,305,734 shares of common stock, with 833,721 five year warrants attached with exercise prices ranging from $0.75-$1.25, for cash proceeds of $2,104,400; 94,428 shares were issued upon the exercise of warrants for total consideration of $94,428; 844,566 shares were issued upon the conversion of $569,982 of notes payable and accrued interest; 161,082 shares were issued in settlement of $113,865 of accounts payable; 1,361,667 shares were issued for services valued at $937,009; 300,000 shares were issued to a former employee for the settlement of $294,587 of amounts owed, 151,814 shares were issued for purchase of inventory; and 125,000 shares were issued as an adjustment to the price of a previous issuance of stock.There are no other obligations to provide a price adjustment on any issuances of stock. All such securities were issued and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, and the certificates representing such securities contain a restrictive legend reflecting the limitations on future transfer of those securities. The offer and sale of these securities was made without public solicitation or advertising. The investors represented to us that they were knowledgeable and sophisticated, and were experienced in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating an investment in our securities and were an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. Each of these investors was afforded full access to information regarding our business.

Repurchases of Equity Securities

We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward Looking Statements.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes many forward-looking statements. For cautions about relying on such forward looking statements, please refer to the section entitled “Forward Looking Statements” at the beginning of this Report immediately prior to “Item 1”.

Overview

We design, assemble and sell the AuraGen®, our patented mobile power generator that uses the engine of a vehicle or any other prime mover 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. To date, AuraGen® units have been sold in numerous industries, including transport refrigeration, hybrid vans, 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. During fiscal 2002 through fiscal 2004, we substantially reduced our internal staffing due to the slower-than-anticipated level of AuraGen® sales. We also suspended substantially all research and development activities. We continued to downscale our operations in fiscal 2005 and 2006. We filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in June 2005 and emerged from Chapter 11 on January 31, 2006, under a plan of reorganization. Since emerging from the Chapter 11 proceeding, we have begun to increase our research and development activities and started to increase our staff in engineering and sales.

feet with several truck service bays and a small amount of office space. The facility was to be used by Aura for warehousing, service, and installation of the AuraGen for customers in the southeastern United States. Due to the national economic down turn, and in particular the uncertainties in the real estate market, the purchase of the facility was put on indefinite hold, and Aura rented the facility on a month-to-month basis for $7,000 per month. Mr. Joseph Dickman, Emerald’s President, joined Aura as Senior Vice President of sales for OEM applications. In December 2009, we terminated our lease arrangements with Emerald, settled all outstanding balances, moved into a new 8,000 square facility in McDonough Georgia and terminated our relationship with Mr. Dickman.

In March 2010, we entered into a strategic alliance with Zanotti of North America. Zanotti is a 50-year-old Italian company specializing in refrigeration for the food industry with distribution in over 70 countries. The strategic alliance consists of Zanotti providing to Aura all electric transport refrigeration systems that will support both the midsize trucks and refrigeration trailers. All of Zanotti’s North America dealers (currently approximately 70) will provide service and installation for Aura’s all-electric transport refrigeration solution (“AETRU”). The alliance also calls for Aura to exclusively use only Zanotti’s refrigeration systems and in return, Zanotti, directly or through its dealer network, is required to generate sales of no less than 1,000 systems of Aura’s AETRU during the first 24 months of the agreement and thereafter no less than 750 systems per year in order to maintain its’ exclusitvity. In addition Zanotti North America agreed to provide Aura with a credit facility for the purchase of the refrigeration systems. Currently the parties are working closely on optimizing the AETRU packages as well as on a joint marketing plan. Deliveries of the Aura/Zanotti AETRU are expected to start in June 2010.

In February 2009 we entered into an exclusive distribution and supply agreement with WePower a Wind-Turbine company. Under the agreement Aura will exclusively provide its generators globally for wind energy harvesting applications to WePower, and in return Aura will be the exclusive supplier of generators to WePower for their wind-turbines. The agreement required WePower to purchase from Aura a minimum of 3,000 systems per year. The domestic as well as the global economic recession has caused significant slowdown in demand for small wind turbines and WePower, like others in its industry, has drastically revised downward their forecast from 3,000 annual units to less than 700 systems per year. The delivery of the initial order for 700 systems has been extended to 2011. In order to meet the WePower requirements we have to customize the AuraGen by changing the number of poles in the machine to allow for lower RPM power generation. Aura is yet to perform this required customization, which involves changing the winding on the stators. We anticipate the completion of the customization during the third quarter of fiscal 2011 and expect to begin delivery of systems to WePower during the current fiscal year.

Our consolidated 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.

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 sources 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. Many purchases of the product are being made for evaluation purposes. We seek to achieve profitable operations by obtaining market acceptance of the AuraGen® as a competitive - superior - product providing mobile power, thereby causing sales to

increase dramatically to levels which support a profitable operation. There can be no assurance that this success will be achieved.

Because of our historical net losses and negative working capital position, our independent auditors, in their report on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2010 expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial conditions 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

The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff accounting bulletin (SAB) 104. Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collect-ability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.

We recognize revenue for product sales upon shipment and when title is transferred to the customer. When Aura performs the installation of the product, revenue and cost of sales are recognized when the installation is complete. We have in the past earned a portion of our revenues from license fees and recorded those fees as income when we fulfilled our obligations under the particular agreement.

Terms of our sales generally provide for Shipment from our facilities to customers FOB point of shipment. Title passes to customers at the time the products leave our warehouse.

The Company does not offer a general right of return on any of its sales and considers all sales as final. However, if a customer determines that a different system configuration would better suit their application, we will allow them to exchange the system and bill them the incremental cost, or credit them if there is a decrease in the system cost. While some sales are for evaluative purposes, they are still considered final sales. The customers’ evaluation is for them to determine if there is a benefit to them to outfit additional vehicles in their fleets.

The only potential post delivery obligation the Company might have is for the installation of the unit. However, the unit is typically delivered at the time of installation, and the billing is done when the installation is complete. Any discounts that are offered are done as a reduction of the invoiced amount at the time of billing. The Company does not utilize bill and hold. The Company does provide customers with a warranty; however, due to the low sales volume to date, the amount has not been material and is expensed as incurred.

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, on a standard cost basis. 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. Due to continuing lower than projected sales, we are holding inventories in excess of what it expects 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 inventory. 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 or if significant discounts from current pricing levels are granted to generate sales, 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 small 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.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which requires the measurement of all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, using a fair value based method and the recording of such expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC 505-50, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees”, whereas the fair value of the equity based compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at the earlier of either (a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached or (b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.

For the past several years and in accordance with established public company accounting practice, the Company has consistently utilized the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock options and warrants issued as compensation, primarily to management, employees, and directors. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model is a widely-accepted method of valuation that public companies typically utilize to calculate the fair value of options and warrants that they issue in such circumstances.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Specific asset categories are treated as follows:

Accounts Receivable: We record an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management's 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.

Patents and trademarks: As our business depends on using new technology to create new products, impairments in patents can be triggered by changed expectations regarding the foreseeable commercial production of products underlying such patents.

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

Fiscal 2010 compared to Fiscal 2009

Revenues

Net revenues in fiscal 2010 increased $799,263 to $3,214,792 from $2,415,529 in fiscal 2009, an increase of 33%. The increase is primarily attributable to increased sales to our customers in the refrigeration truck area, an increase in sales on our long-term contract for units for use on military vehicles in South Korea, and an increase in shipments under our long-term contract with the U.S. Coast Guard.

Cost of Goods

Cost of goods sold in fiscal 2010 increased $205,122 to $1,745,107 from $1,539,985 in fiscal 2007. As a percentage of net revenues, cost of goods sold decreased to 54% in fiscal 2010 from 64% in fiscal 2009. The decrease is attributable to the variation in the mix of products sold. Dual-VIPER units that were shipped to the U.S. Coast Guard carry a higher gross margin than basic 5Kw systems.

Engineering, Research and Development

Engineering, research and development costs increased $388,279 to $2,260,962 in fiscal 2010 from $1,872,683 in fiscal 2009. The increase is attributable to an increase in the number of employees resulting in higher payroll and payroll related costs. Additionally, the Company continued to increase expenditures in the product development area related to the Tangen, the 200 amp ECU and the eight inch generator. .

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $576,788 to $8,386,767 in fiscal 2010 from $7,809,979 in fiscal 2009. The increase is primarily due to an increase in marketing expenditures partially offset by a decrease in legal expenses.

Stock option compensation expense

Stock option compensation expense increased to $6,209,181 in fiscal 2010 from $377,476 in fiscal 2009, an increase of $5,814,367, as a result of the non-cash charges for the issuance of employee stock options in the current year. During the fiscal 2010, the Board of Directors determined that, in order to provide incentives to its’ employees, it was in the best interest of the company to cancel and replace the outstanding employee options that had been granted. With the employees consent, the company cancelled all outstanding employee options that previously had exercise prices ranging from $2.00 to $3.00, and issued new options with an exercise price of $1.50. Employees were given credit towards the three year vesting period extending from the date of their original hire.

Non-Operating Income and Expenses

Net interest expense decreased to $683,561 in fiscal 2010 from $702,650 in fiscal 2009. The decrease is due primarily to a decrease in the interest on the secured notes payable, which were converted into stock in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, partially offset by increased interest expense on the higher level of notes payable owed to a member of our board in the current fiscal year.

Net Income/Loss

Our net loss in fiscal 2010 increased to $16,092,777 from $9,843,962 in fiscal 2009, an increase of $6,248,815. The increase is primarily a result of the increased stock option expense of $6,209,181 as noted above.

Fiscal 2009 compared to Fiscal 2008

Revenues

Net revenues in fiscal 2009 decreased $433,802 to $2,415,529 from $2,849,331 in fiscal 2008, a decrease of 15%. The decrease is attributable to normal sales fluctuations period to period due to our relatively small sales volume and new customer base, and the poor economic climate which caused some of our customers to delay delivery of some product into fiscal 2010.

Cost of Goods

Cost of goods sold in fiscal 2009 decreased $206,376 to $1,539,985from $1,746,361 in fiscal 2008. As a percentage of net revenues, cost of goods sold increased to 64 % in fiscal 2009 from 61% in fiscal 2008. The increase is attributable to the variation in the mix of products sold. Refrigeration systems are comprised of a larger amount of non-Aura manufactured components, which carry a lower gross margin at the resale level.

Engineering, Research and Development

Engineering, research and development costs increased $331,066 to $ 1,872,683 in fiscal 2009 from $1,541,617 in fiscal 2008. The increase is primarily attributable to increased rent of approximately $380,000 relating to the Georgia facility we began using in June of 2008, and the new facility in El Segundo, California, which began in May of 2008, partially offset by a reduction in the use of outside consultants of approximately $100,000.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

Selling, general and administrative increased $1,237,343 to $7,827,317 in fiscal 2009 from $6,589,974 in fiscal 2008. The increase is due to an increase in compensation expense of approximately $1,200,000 including increases in employee related expenses such as health insurance and payroll taxes of approximately $180,000.

Stock option compensation expense

Stock option compensation expense decreased $1,279,363 to $377,476 from $1,656,838 in the prior year. A majority of the options that were granted in the prior fiscal year vested in that period, and therefore were expensed in fiscal 2009.

Non-Operating Income and Expense

Net interest expense increased $534,043 to $702,650 in fiscal 2009 from $168,607 in fiscal 2009. The increase is attributable to a higher level of debt owing to a Board member, which increased from $500,000 at the end of fiscal 2008 to $2,300,000 at the end of fiscal 2009. Additionally, the 7% convertible notes were outstanding for the entire fiscal 2009 year, compared to only two months in fiscal 2008.

Net Income/Loss

Our net loss increased $883,476 to $9,843,962 in fiscal 2009 from $8,960,486 in fiscal 2008 as a result of our increase in costs associated with the Georgia facility, our new El Segundo facility, and increased compensation and related costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In fiscal 2010, we incurred losses of $16.1 million (including $6,209,181 non cash expenses attributed to employee stock option plan as described above) and had negative cash flows from operations of $6.3 million. In order to fund our cash needs we raised $2.1 million from the sale of our stock in private placements and $.1 million from the exercise of outstanding warrants. We also borrowed $807,500 in short term notes from individuals, with interest rates of 10%, of which $485,000 was subsequently converted into our common stock in fiscal 2010. Additionally, during fiscal 2010, we received periodic advances from a Board member totaling $3.35 million. These advances

carry an interest rate of 10% and are due on demand. As of February 28, 2010, the total amount owing to this Board member is $5.15 million plus accrued interest of $453,199. If the Board member were to demand repayment, we do not currently have the resources to make the payment. Accrued expenses include $494,830 of accrued interest and $1,050,577 of accrued wages that has not been paid to certain employees of the Company.

At February 28, 2010, we had cash of approximately $.05 million, compared to approximately $0.30 million at February 28, 2009. Working capital at February 28, 2010 was a negative $7.3 million as compared to a negative $2.2 million at the end of the prior fiscal year. Accrued expenses increased $1.2 million due primarily to an increase in accrued payroll as a result of certain employees having pay withheld due to a lack of resources. At February 28, 2010, we had accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, of approximately $300,000 compared to approximately $300,000 at February 28, 2009. In fiscal 2010 we acquired property and equipment at a cost of approximately $340,000 including upgrading our computer system and software. We acquired property and equipment at a cost of approximately $240,000 in fiscal 2009. As of February 28, 2010, we expect to need approximately $200,000 to complete the build-out of the El Segundo facility. During fiscal 2010, we incurred additional debt obligations to one of our Board members in the amount of $3,350,000, with an interest rate of 10%. In the year ended February 28, 2010, we issued 3,305,734 shares of common stock for cash proceeds of $2,104,400; 94,128 shares were issued upon the exercise of warrants for total consideration of $94,428; 844,566 shares were issued upon the conversion of $569,982of notes payable and accrued interest; 161,082 shares were issued in settlement of $113,865 of accounts payable; 1,361,667 shares were issued for services valued at $937,010; 300,000 shares were issued to a former employee for the settlement of $294,587 of amounts owed; and 125,000 shares were issued as a one time adjustment to the price of a previous issuance of stock. There are no other obligations to provide a price adjustment on any issuances of stock.

In the year ended February 28, 2009, we issued 2,915,000 shares of common stock for cash proceeds of $2,437,057 and collected subscription receivables of $677,255.In addition, 2,397,137 shares were issued upon the exercise of warrants for total consideration of $2,282,405; 400,000 shares of common stock were issued for the acquisition of $400,000 worth of inventory and supplies in connection with the acquisition of the refrigeration assets of Emerald Commercial Leasing; 430,329 shares of common stock were issued for the exercise of warrants in lieu of payments on our secured notes payable; 100,000 shares of common stock were issued pursuant to an employment agreement we entered into with our Vice President; 2,069,742 shares of common stock were issued upon the conversion of $2,069,742 of secured notes payable and associated accrued interest; 98,442 shares of common stock were issued in settlement of $98,442 of accounts payable; and 150,000 shares of common stock were issued as fees to members of our Board of Directors for a loan and associated loan guarantees by the Board members. Shares issued for non-cash consideration were valued pursuant to EITF 98-15. The Company recorded a gain on settlement of debt of $32,820 and $6,742, respectively for the stock issued for settlement of accounts payable of $98,442 and for stock issued for interest settlement of notes.

The national economic slowdown has resulted in numerous delays and cancellations in acquisitions of new equipment, tools and vehicles as well as delays in upgrades of existing equipment and vehicles. At the same time, the economic conditions have created an environment where users are open to discussions and evaluations of equipment that could result in operational savings. In addition, numerous new environmental related rules and regulations that went into effect during 2009 established an atmosphere where users are looking for innovative solutions to address the new regulations as well as new business opportunities. The above conditions may have a significant impact on our planning and business in fiscal 2011 and beyond.

We have seen a major slow down in during most of fiscal 2010. This was in the form of a slow down in delivery schedules for existing contracts and a significant slowdown in new contracts. Almost a million and half dollars in commercial deliveries on existing contracts during the second half of fiscal 2010 were pushed into fiscal 2011. Similarly, approximately $1.5 million of a military related program approved by Congress in September of 2008 and 2009 has been delayed and moved into the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

During the next twelve months we intend on expanding our AuraGen/Viper business both domestically and internationally. There are four major components necessary to execute a significantly expanding business; (i) augmentation of management and staff, (ii) purchase orders, (iii) facilities and equipment, and (iv) working capital.

We recently hired a new president who is assuming the responsibility for Chief Operating Officer. We have also very recently added two senior people (PhDs) to our technical staff, and a new Vice President of Sales. We plan to add senior quality assurance and quality control staff as well as a number of mechanical and electrical engineers, a

number of technicians and a number of test engineers. We plan to add approximately 10 people to our staff in fiscal 2011.

While no assurances can be given, we developed a business model for fiscal 2011 that projects over $22 million of business. The projections are based on approximately $11 million for transport refrigeration, applications,, approximately $6.0 million for military applications , and estimates of additionally, $5.0 million is projected for numerous industrial and OEM applications.

In order to achieve the planned results we will need sufficient working capital for (i) daily operations, (ii) purchase of raw materials and subassemblies, (iii) purchase of the required equipment, and (iv) supporting cash flow. Our cash flow analysis is based on certain assumptions that include 45 days for collection of account receivables after shipment, 30 day terms for accounts payable to vendors and suppliers, and all monthly operational costs paid during the month in which they are incurred. Based on our business model and projections, as well as historical costs for COGS and other expenses, we determined that the Company will need to raise approximately $10 million in new capital. This would allow us to fund ongoing operations but would not necessarily allow us to pay back our existing debt or deferred payroll. We plan to raise the required capital through the private placement of equity ,convertible debt or straight debt. As such in January 2010 we retained Cappello Capital Corp. as our exclusive financial advisor to assist with our financial needs. Currently, a number of possible parties have shown an interest in investing in the Company but no agreements have been reached as of yet.

We are selling systems for all of the applications currently identified in our business model for fiscal 2011. In addition, we are also in the process of enhancing our product line to address an even larger market segment. We currently provide 5 kW, 8.5 kW and 16 kW solutions and we plan to introduce during the next twelve months 4kW, 12 kW, 25 kW and 50 kW solutions. While there can be no assurances given that we will complete all the developments described above and be able to commercialize them in the planned time, our business model for fiscal 2011 does not contemplate sales for any product currently not available.

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 June 2005 we were forced to file for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, from which we emerged under a court-approved plan of reorganization in January 2006.

In the past, in order to maintain liquidity we have relied upon external sources of financing, principally equity financing and private and bank indebtedness. We have no bank line of credit and require additional debt or equity financing to fund ongoing operations. Currently, we have no binding commitments from third parties to provide financing and we cannot assure you that financing will be available at the times or in the amounts required. The issuance of additional shares of equity in connection with 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.

ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to its management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of February 28, 2010.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2010, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures or its internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisitions, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2010. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework . Based on this assessment, and on those criteria, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of February 28, 2010.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Aura Systems, Inc. and subsidiary

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Aura Systems, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiary (the “Company”) as of February 28, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended February 28, 2010. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Aura Systems, Inc. and subsidiary as of February 28, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended February 28, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 10 to the financial statements, the Company has historically incurred substantial losses from operations, and the Company may not have sufficient working capital or outside financing available to meet its planned operating activities over the next twelve months. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are described in Note 10. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Management primarily determines the allowance based on the aging of accounts receivable balances, historical write-off experience, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness and current industry and economic trends. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the allowance for doubtful accounts and a credit to accounts receivable.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market, on a standard cost basis. We review the components of inventory on a regular basis for excess or obsolete inventory based on estimated future usage and sales. As further described in Note 3, due to continuing lower than projected sales, we are holding inventories in excess of what we expect to sell in the next fiscal year. As of February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009, $2,140,194, and $2,545,978, respectively, of inventories have been classified as long-term assets.

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:

Machinery and equipment	5 to 10 years
Furniture and fixtures	7 years

Improvements to leased property are amortized over the lesser of the life of the lease or the life of the improvements. Maintenance and minor replacements are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses on disposals are included in the results of operations.

Patents and Trademarks

We capitalize the cost of obtaining or acquiring patents and trademarks. Amortization of patent and trademark costs is provided for by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for the impairment of long-lived assets, such as fixed assets, patents and trademarks, under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment”, which establishes the accounting for impairment of long-lived tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill and for the disposal of a business. Pursuant to FASB ASC 360, we review for impairment when facts or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used may not be recoverable. If such facts or circumstances are determined to exist, an estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows produced by the long-lived asset, or the appropriate grouping of assets, is compared to the carrying value to determine whether impairment exists. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured based on various valuation techniques, including a discounted value of estimated future cash flows. We report impairment costs as a charge to operations at the time it is recognized. During the years ended February 28, 2010 and 2009, we determined that there was no impairment of long-lived assets.

Stock-Based Compensation

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We measure our financial assets and liabilities in accordance with the requirements of FASB ASC 825 “Financial Instruments”. The carrying values of accounts receivable, accounts payable, current notes payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The carrying amounts of long-term convertible notes payable approximate their respective fair values because of their current interest rates payable and other features of such debt in relation to current market conditions.

Shipping and handling expenses

We record all shipping and handling billings to a customer as revenue earned for the goods provided in accordance with FASB ASC 605-45-45-19, “Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs”. We include shipping and handling expenses in selling, general and administrative expense. Shipping and handling expenses amounted to $139,170 and $121,718 for the years ended February 28, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Advertising Expense

Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred and were immaterial for the years ended February 28, 2010 and 2009.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. These costs include the expenses incurred in the development of the 200amp ECU, the Tamgen (dual generator), and the eight inch generator.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, "Income Taxes". Under FASB ASC 740, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial statement reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax expense for the period, if any, and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

F-9

We have significant income tax net operating losses; however, due to the uncertainty of the realize-ability of the related deferred tax asset and other deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance equal to the amount of deferred tax assets has been established at February 28, 2010 and 2009.

FASB ASC 740 also provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. A tax benefit from an uncertain position may be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable based on its technical merit.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

We utilize FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include additional common shares available upon exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method, except for periods of operating loss for which no common share equivalents are included because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

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

In March 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance related to revenue recognition for multiple element deliverables which eliminates the requirement that all undelivered elements must have objective and reliable evidence of fair value before a company can recognize the portion of the consideration that is attributable to items that already have been delivered. Under the new guidance, the relative selling price method is required to be used in allocating consideration between deliverables and the residual value method will no longer be permitted. This guidance is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in 2011 although early adoption is permitted. A company may elect, but will not be required, to adopt the amendments retrospectively for all prior periods. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and has not yet determined the impact, if any, that it will have on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic 820 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. This ASU requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement as set forth in Codification Subtopic 820-10. The FASB’s objective is to improve these disclosures and, thus, increase the transparency in financial reporting. This pronouncement is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

F-10

In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance which is now part of ASC 105-10, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. ASC 105-10 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168), establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. ASC 105-10 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 105-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-01- Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash. The amendments in this Update clarify that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected in EPS prospectively and is not a stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260 (Equity and Earnings Per Share). The amendments in this update are effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-02 – Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary – a Scope Clarification. The amendments in this Update affect accounting and reporting by an entity that experiences a decrease in ownership in a subsidiary that is a business or nonprofit activity. The amendments also affect accounting and reporting by an entity that exchanges a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity for an equity interest in another entity. The amendments in this update are effective beginning in the period that an entity adopts SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – An Amendment of ARB No. 51.” If an entity has previously adopted SFAS No. 160 as of the date the amendments in this update are included in the Accounting Standards Codification, the amendments in this update are effective beginning in the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to the first period that an entity adopted SFAS No. 160. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that requires new disclosure as follows: 1) Transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2. A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. 2) Activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number). This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that clarifies existing disclosures as follows: 1) Level of dis-aggregation. A reporting entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. A class is often a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position. A reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities. 2) Disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. Those disclosures are required for fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. These disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU, however, the Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-9 –Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. This update addresses certain implementation issues related to an entity’s requirement to perform and disclose subsequent-events procedures, removes the requirement that public companies disclose the date of their financial statements in both issued and revised financial statements. According to the FASB, the revised statements include those that have been changed to correct an error or conform to a retrospective application of U.S. GAAP. The amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal year ending after June 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

F-11

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855 (previously SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. It is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. There was no material impact upon the adoption of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 860 (previously SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets”) , which requires additional information regarding transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for de-recognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures. SFAS 166 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 810 (previously SFAS No. 167) for determining whether to consolidate a variable interest entity. These amended standards eliminate a mandatory quantitative approach to determine whether a variable interest gives the entity a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity in favor of a qualitatively focused analysis, and require an ongoing reassessment of whether an entity is the primary beneficiary. These amended standards are effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 and we are currently evaluating the impact that adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-05, which amends ASC Topic 820, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which provides additional guidance on the measurement of liabilities at fair value. These amended standards clarify that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, we are required to use the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities, or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets. If these quoted prices are not available, we are required to use another valuation technique, such as an income approach or a market approach. These amended standards became effective for us beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 and have not had a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2009 financial statements to conform to the 2010 presentation.

NOTE 3 – INVENTORIES

Inventories at February 28, 2010 and 2009 consisted of the following:

	2010			2009

Raw materials	$	2,626,206		$	2,642,833
Finished goods		3,226,614			3,829,139

		5,852,820			6,471,972
Reserve for potential product obsolescence		(2,076,018	)		(2,271,535	)

		3,776,802			4,200,437
Non-current portion		(2,140,194	)		(2,545,978	)
Discount on long term inventory		(136,608	)		(154,459	)

Current portion	$	1,500,000		$	1,500,000

Inventories consist primarily of components and completed units for the Company’s AuraGen® product.

F-12

Early in its 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, most of which was then assembled into finished AuraGen® units. 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 orders for future delivery, and pending proposals with prospective customers and has determined we do not expect to realize all of its inventories within the next year. The net inventories as of February 28, 2010 and 2009, which are not expected to be realized within a 12-month period have been reclassified as long term.

We assessed the net realize-ability of these assets, and the potential obsolescence of inventory. In accordance with this assessment, management has recorded a reserve of $2,076,018 and $2,271,535 at February 28, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Management has recorded a discount on long term inventory of $136,608 and $154,459 at February 28, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

F-13

(b)

Consists of an unsecured convertible note payable totaling $500,000, bearing interest at a rate of 7%, due in 2013. The note is convertible into our common stock at a price of $3 per share. The Company incurred and paid interest of $34,849 on the note during the year ended February 28, 2010. In April 2009, the Company arranged a debt financing aggregating $192,500 from unrelated parties in exchange for the issuance of 120 day 10% secured convertible promissory notes and 30,800 warrants at an exercise price of $1.25 for the first year. The performance of these notes is secured by inventory of the Company specifically pertaining to the WePower purchase order including all proceeds arising from the sale or lease of all or any part thereof. As of February 28, 2010, there was no inventory pertaining to WePower. The notes are convertible into our common stock at a price of $0.75 per share. The Company accrued interest of $14,369 on these notes during the year ended February 28, 2010. Also consists of six unsecured convertible notes entered into during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 totaling $565,000. The notes carry an interest rate of 10%, are for a term of 180 days, and are convertible into common stock of the company at $0.75 per share. The company accrued interest of $36,996 on the notes during the year ended February 28, 2010. In the year ended February 28, 2010, $300,000 of the notes payable and $16,950 of accrued and unpaid interest was converted into 539,553 shares of common stock of the Company. Except for the $500,000 note due in 2013, these notes are past due and therefore due on demand.

The Company allocated the investment proceeds to the debt and warrants based on their relative fair values. The relative fair value of the warrants using the Black Scholes method assuming a volatility of the stock of 107%, term of five years and a discount of 2.625% was determined to be $18,661 which was recorded as debt discount, a reduction of the carrying amount of the debt. The beneficial conversion feature on the notes was $57,161 which was also recorded as debt discount. The debt discount was amortized over the term of the note and charged to interest expense. During the year ended February 28, 2010, $75,822 was expensed.

Future maturities of notes payable at February 28, 2010 are as follows:

Year Ending February 28,

Employee Stock Options

In September, 2006, our Board of Directors adopted the 2006 Employee Stock Option Plan, subject to shareholder approval, which was obtained at a special shareholders meeting. Under the Plan, the Company may grant options for up to the greater of Three Million (3,000,000) or 10% of the number of shares of the Common Stock of Aura from time to time outstanding. The exercise price of each option shall be at least equal to the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant. The term of the options may not be greater than ten years, and they typically vest over a three year period.

During fiscal 2010, the Board of Directors determined that, in order to provide incentives to its employees, it was in the best interest of the Company to cancel and replace the outstanding employee options that had been granted. With the employees consent, the Company cancelled all 1,941,500 outstanding employee options that previously had exercise prices ranging from $2.00 to $3.00, and issued 6,515,500 new five year options with a 3 year vesting period, and an exercise price of $1.50. Employees were given credit towards the three year vesting period extending from the date of their original hire. In accordance with FASB ASC 718, the Company accounted for this transaction as a modification. Accordingly, the incremental compensation cost resulting from this modification was determined to be $4,487,725 calculated as the difference between the fair value of the modified award and the fair value of the original award immediately before it was modified. The fair values were calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing. Assumptions used for the modified award were a risk free rate of return of 3.23%, volatility of 141.61%, a dividend yield of 0%, and an expected life of 5 years. Assumptions used for the original awards immediately before they were modified were risk free rates of return of ranging from 1.75% to 2.5%, volatility of 141.61%, a dividend yield of 0%, and expected lives ranging from 2.75 to 4 years.

Also during the year ended February 28, 2010, the Company granted 400,000 options to the President. These options vest over three years, have an exercise price of $1.50, and have a five year life. The grant date fair value of these options amounted to $ 330,187 which was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk free rate of return of 3.23%, volatility of 141.61%, a dividend yield of 0%, and an expected life of 5 years.

During the year ended February 28, 2009, the Company granted 450,000 options to an employee to purchase our stock at a price of $3.00. These options were modified during the year ended February 28, 2010 as described above.

The Company incurred stock options related expenses of $4,308,448 and $378,184, during the years ended February 28, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Activity in this plan is as follows:

	2006 Plan

NOTE 10 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. During the years ended February 28, 2010 and 2009, the Company incurred losses of $16,092,777 and $9,843,962, respectively and had negative cash flows from operating activities of $6,285,449 and $6,311,970, respectively.

We plan to add senior quality assurance and quality control staff as well as a number of mechanical and electrical engineers, a number of technicians, and a number of test engineers.

While no assurances can be given, we developed a business model for fiscal 2011 that projects over $30 million of business. The projections are based on approximately $10 million for wind energy applications under the WePower agreement that was signed in February 2009, approximately $5.0 million for military applications, and estimates of approximately $10.0 million for transport refrigeration application. Additionally, $5.0 million is projected for numerous industrial and OEM applications. The total number of systems corresponding to the above projections is approximately 5,000.

We are selling systems for all of the applications currently identified in our business model for fiscal 2010. In addition, we are also in the process of enhancing our product line to address an even larger market segment. We currently provide 5 kW, 8.5 kW and 16 kW solutions and we plan to introduce during the next twelve months 4kW, 12 kW, 25 kW and 50 kW solutions. While there can be no assurances given that we will complete all the developments described above and be able to commercialize them in the planned time, our business model for fiscal 2010 does not contemplate sales for any product currently available.

F-18

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.

Because of our historic net losses and negative working capital position, our independent auditors, in their report on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2010 expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. 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.

NOTE 11- INCOME TAXES

The Company did not record any income tax expense due to the net loss during the years ended February 28, 2010 and 2009. The actual tax benefit differs from the expected tax benefit computed by applying the combined United States corporate tax rate and the State of California tax rate of 40% to loss before income taxes as follows for the years ended February 28, 2010 and 2009:

		2010	2009
Current:	$		$

Net deferred tax asset	$ -	$ -

F-19

We recorded an allowance of 100% for deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of its realization.

At February 28, 2010, we had operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $310,000,000 for federal purposes, which expire through 2024, and $56,000,000 for state purposes, which expire through 2016.

We follow FASB ASC 740 related to uncertain tax positions. Under FASB ASC 740, the impact of an uncertain tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. At February 28, 2010 and 2009, we have no unrecognized tax benefits.

Our continuing practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of February 28, 2010 and 2009, we have no accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

We are subject to taxation in the U.S. and California. Our tax years for 2008 and forward are subject to examination by our tax authorities. We are not currently under examination by any tax authority.

NOTE 12 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

We sponsor two employee benefit plans: The Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") and a 401(k) plan.

The ESOP is a qualified discretionary employee stock ownership plan that covers substantially all employees. We did not make any contributions to the ESOP during the years ended February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009.

We sponsor a voluntary, defined contribution 401(k) plan. The plan provides for salary reduction contributions by employees and matching contributions by us of 100% of the first 4% of the employees' pre-tax contributions. The matching contributions included in expense were $73,193 and $30,821 for the years ended February 28, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
