NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting principles

In the opinion of management, the accompanying balance sheets and related interim statements of income and comprehensive income, and cash flows include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Company’s 2014 Form 10-K filed on June 16, 2014 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2013, the FASB issued guidance on a parent’s accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. This new guidance requires that the parent release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. The new guidance will be effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2014. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Reclassifications

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

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. During the three months ended May 31, 2014 and May 31, 2013, the Company incurred losses of $4,008,292 and $2,979,243, respectively and had negative cash flows from operating activities of $2,143,837 and $1,651,320, respectively.

If the Company is unable to generate profits and is unable to continue to obtain financing for its working capital requirements, it may have to curtail its business sharply or cease business altogether.

Substantial additional capital resources will be required to fund continuing expenditures related to our research, development, manufacturing and business development activities. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to retain its current financing, to obtain additional financing, and ultimately to attain profitability.

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

During the next twelve months we intend to continue to expand 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 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 had planned to take these steps in the current fiscal year, but a lack of resources prevented us from doing so. We anticipate being able to fund these additions in the upcoming fiscal year.

7% Convertible Promissory Notes:

On August 10, 2012 the Company entered into an agreement with the individual (the “holder”) for the sale of $1,000,000 of unsecured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) to the holder. The Convertible Promissory Note balance together with all accrued interest thereon shall be due and payable on August 10, 2017 and the annual interest rate is 7% per annum and is due to be repaid 5 years from the closing date. The Note holder will receive interest on the unpaid principal amount payable monthly in arrears on the tenth day of each calendar month commencing September 10, 2012. Interest shall be computed on the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year. The Holder has the right from and after the Date of Issuance, and until any time until the Convertible promissory note is fully paid, to convert any outstanding and unpaid principal portion of the Convertible promissory note into shares of Common Stock. The company recorded $310,723 as a debt discount, which will be amortized over the life of the note.

On October 2, 2012 the Company entered into an agreement with the individual (the “holder”) for the sale of $500,000 of unsecured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) to the holder. The Convertible Promissory Note balance together with all accrued interest thereon shall be due and payable on October 2, 2017 and the annual interest rate is 7% per annum and is due to be repaid 5 years from the closing date. The Note holder will receive interest on the unpaid principal amount payable monthly in arrears on the second day of each calendar month commencing November 2, 2012. Interest shall be computed on the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year. The Holder has the right from and after the Date of Issuance, and until any time until the Convertible promissory note is fully paid, to convert any outstanding and unpaid principal portion of the Convertible promissory note into shares of Common Stock. The company recorded $137,583 as a debt discount, which will be amortized over the life of the note.

On November 2, 2012 the Company entered into an agreement with the individual (the “holder”) for the sale of $350,000 of unsecured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) to the holder.

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

NOTE 9 –INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rates were approximately 0.0% for the three months ended May 31, 2014 and 2013. Our effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the fact that we record a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, which is primarily comprised of net operating losses.

Overview

We design, assemble and sell the AuraGen®, our patented mobile power generator that uses a prime mover such as the engine of a vehicle to generate power. The AuraGen® delivers on-location, plug-in electricity for any end use, including industrial, commercial, recreational and military applications. We began commercializing the AuraGen® in late 1999 and sold our first commercial units in late 2000 and early 2001. To date, AuraGen® units have been sold in numerous industries, including recreational, utilities, telecommunications, emergency/rescue, public works, catering, oil and gas, transportation, government and the military.

We have not yet achieved a level of AuraGen® sales sufficient to generate positive cash flow. Accordingly, we have depended on repeated infusions of cash in order to maintain liquidity as we have sought to develop sales.

Our financial statements included in this report have been prepared on the assumption that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, as a result of our losses from operations, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our independent auditors, in their report on the Company’s financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2013 expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amount and classification of liabilities that may result from our possible inability to continue as a going concern.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the successful achievement of profitable operations, and the ability to generate sufficient cash from operations and obtain financing resources to meet our obligations. There is no assurance that such efforts will be successful.

Our current level of sales reflects our efforts to introduce a new product into the marketplace. Until recently, many purchases of the product were for evaluation purposes. Recently we started to receive repeat orders for larger quantities as different organizations are integrating our products into their vehicles. We seek to achieve profitable operations by obtaining market acceptance of the AuraGen® as a competitive - if not superior - product providing mobile power anywhere anytime. There can be no assurance that this success will be achieved.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and disclosures on the date of the financial statements. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to revenue recognition. We use authoritative pronouncements, historical experience and other assumptions as the basis for making judgments. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

We are required to make judgments based on historical experience and future expectations, as to the reliability of shipments made to our customers. These judgments are required to assess the propriety of the recognition of revenue based on Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue Recognition," and related guidance. Because sales are currently in limited volume and many sales are for evaluative purposes, we have not booked a general reserve for returns. We will consider an appropriate level of reserve for product returns when our sales increase to commercial levels.

Inventory Valuation and Classification

Inventories consist primarily of components and completed units for our AuraGen® product. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Provision is made for estimated amounts of current inventories that will ultimately become obsolete due to changes in the product itself or vehicle engine types that go out of production. We are holding inventories in excess of what we expect to sell in the next fiscal year. The net inventories which are not expected to be realized within a 12-month period based on current sales forecasts have been reclassified as long term. Management believes that existing inventories can, and will, be sold in the future without significant costs to upgrade it to current models and that the valuation of the inventories, classified both as current and long-term assets, accurately reflects the realizable values of these assets. The AuraGen® product being sold currently is not technologically different from those in current use. Existing finished goods inventories can be upgraded to the current model with only a small amount of materials and manpower. We make these assessments based on the following factors: i) existing orders, ii) age of the inventory, iii) historical experience and iv) our expectations as to future sales. If expected sales volumes do not materialize, there would be a material impact on our financial statements.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, consisting primarily of property and equipment, and patents and trademarks, comprise a portion of our total assets. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying values August not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying value of an asset to the future net cash flows expected to be generated by those assets. Net cash flows are estimated based on expectations as to the realize-ability of the asset. Factors that could trigger a review include significant changes in the manner of an asset’s use or our overall strategy.

Specific asset categories are treated as follows:

Accounts Receivable: We record an allowance for doubtful accounts based on our expectation of collect-ability of current and past due accounts receivable.

Property, Plant and Equipment: We depreciate our property and equipment over various useful lives ranging from five to ten years. Adjustments are made as warranted when market conditions and values indicate that the current value of an asset is less than its net book value.

When we determine that an asset is impaired, we measure any such impairment by discounting an asset’s realizable value to the present using a discount rate appropriate to the perceived risk in realizing such value. When we determine that an impaired asset has no foreseeable realizable value, we write such asset down to zero.

Results of Operations

Three months ended May 31, 2014 compared to three months ended May 31, 2013

Net revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2014 (the “First Quarter FY2015”) decreased $358,554 to $449,972 from $808,526 in the three months ended May 31, 2013 (the “First Quarter FY2014”), a decrease of 44%. The decline is primarily attributable to a decline in sales to three customers. Our customers typically order on an as needed basis and therefore our sales can fluctuate substantially between periods based on our customers’ needs at a given time.

Cost of goods decreased $110,161 (34%) to $210,059 in the First Quarter FY2015 from $320,220 in the First Quarter FY2014 as a result of the decrease in sales noted above. The increase in cost of goods is primarily a result of differences in gross margins between the 8kW and 5kW systems.

Engineering, research and development expenses decreased $94,795 (24%) to $304,003 in the First Quarter FY2015 from $398,798 in the First Quarter FY2014 primarily as a result of a decrease in salary expense due to a reduction in personnel. In the past, we have reduced our expenditures in this area due to our financial situation, but as previously stated we intend to increase our expenditures in this area.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased $559,176 (22%) to $3,124,346 in the First Quarter FY2015 from $2,565,170 in the First Quarter FY2014. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in non-cash charges of approximately $ 1,250,00 for the re-pricing of previously issued warrants partially offset by a decrease in salary expense due to a reduction is personnel .

Net interest expense in the First Quarter FY2015 increased $109,138 (15%) to $825,436 from $716,298 in the First Quarter FY2014 due to our increased debt levels.

Our net loss for the First Quarter FY2015 increased $1,029,049 to $4,008,292 from $2,979,243 in the First Quarter FY2014, primarily as a result of the increase in the non-cash charges for the exercise of the re-priced warrants as noted above, partially offset by the decrease in payroll expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had cash of approximately $100,000 and $41,000 as of May 31, 2014, and February 28, 2014, respectively. We had a working capital deficit at May 31, 2014, and February 28, 2014 of $28,483,232 and $28,134,537, respectively. The working capital deficit includes notes payable and accrued interest to related parties of $22,773,312 and $21,906,377 as of May 31 and February 28, 2014, respectively. As of May 31, 2014, we had accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, of $162,590 compared to $125,593 as of February 28, 2014.

Net cash used in operations for the three months ended May 31, 2014, was $2,143,837, an increase of $492,517 from the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended May 31, 2014, was $2,203,453, resulting from net proceeds from notes payable and the exercise of outstanding warrants.

There were no acquisitions of property and equipment in the three months FY 2015 or the three months FY 2014.

Accrued expenses as of May 31, 2014 decreased $192,807 to $3,193,130 from $3,385,937 as of February 28, 2014. Approximately $1,900,000 of accrued expenses is salaries accrued but unpaid to certain employees and ex-employees due to a lack of resources, and approximately $435,000 is accrued but unused vacation time earned by employees.

Net proceeds from the issuance of debt totaled $470,000 in the three months FY 2015, compared with $1,576,450 in the three months FY 2014. Net debt proceeds of $82,000 in the three months of FY2014 were from our CEO, and debt repayments totaling $306,250 were made on the $3.5 million financing completed in the third quarter fiscal 2012. As of June 30, 2014, the total amount owing a board member is $13,819,960 plus accrued interest of approximately $5,200,000. We also owe another Board member a total of $3,410,294, net of discounts of $452,706 plus accrued interest of approximately $280,000. If the Board members were to demand repayment, we do not currently have the resources to make the payments.

The Company had a deficit of $31,727,252 in shareholders’ equity as of May 31, 2014, compared to $31,270,011 as of February 28, 2014.

Since 2002 substantially all of our revenues from operations have been derived from sales of the AuraGen®. The cash flow generated from our operations to date has not been sufficient to fund our working capital needs, and we cannot predict when operating cash flow will be sufficient to fund working capital needs.

In the past, in order to maintain liquidity we have relied upon external sources of financing, principally equity financing and private indebtedness. We have no bank line of credit and require additional debt or equity financing to fund ongoing operations. The issuance of additional shares of equity in connection with any such financing could dilute the interests of our existing stockholders, and such dilution could be substantial. If we cannot raise needed funds, we would also be forced to make further substantial reductions in our operating expenses, which could adversely affect our ability to implement our current business plan and ultimately our viability as a company.

Capital Transactions

Inventories

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

Early in our AuraGen® program, we determined it was most cost-effective to outsource production of components and subassemblies to volume-oriented manufacturers, rather than produce these parts in house. As a result of this decision, and based on then anticipated sales, we purchased, prior to fiscal 2001, a substantial inventory of components at volume prices. Since sales did not meet such expectations, we have been selling product from this inventory for several years. Management has analyzed its inventories based on its current business plan, current potential orders for future delivery, and pending proposals with prospective customers and has determined that we do not expect to realize all of its inventories within the next year. The net inventories as of May 31 and February 28, 2014, which are not expected to be realized within a 12-month period have been reclassified as long term.

Most of our inventory consists of a variety of (i) metallic, mechanical components, and (ii) electrical components including metallic chassis to hold the assembled electrical systems. The vast majority of mechanical components are not aged and most of the electrical components are also not aged. The components that are aged are related to the prime mover/Generator interface that may not be in demand any longer.

Currently, we offer and ship three different basic models of systems; (i) a 5 kW based systems, (ii) an 8.5 kW based system and (iii) a 16 kW based systems (two 8.5 kW systems configured in tandem back-to-back). Each of these systems can be configured with different options such as 110 VAC only, 220 VAC only, 24 VDC only, 12 VDC only and AC/DC combinations of the same or different voltages. In addition, the system can be configured with single phase, split phase or three-phase output.

A number of the mechanical components are common to all three of the above configurations, while others are very specific. For example, the stators and rotors for the 5 kW systems are different from the 8.5 kW systems, but the housings are the same. Similarly, the electrical components consist of some parts that are geared for a specific configuration while others are generic and can be used for all of the configurations. The electrical chassis are also interchangeable between the 5 kW and 8.5 kW configurations. Due to the nature and mix of the product being sold, frequently, the 5 kW electrical systems are upgraded to 8.5 kW systems by replacing some components.

From the above description one can understand that the inventory consists of numerous components and subassemblies but not finished systems; therefore each system that is sold and shipped to a customer is built from some components that are in inventory and others that need to be purchased to be able to configure the required system.

Currently, most of the product being shipped consists of 8.5 kW systems. These systems are built by using existing inventory subassemblies and parts, including some that can be used for both 5 kW and 8.5 kW systems, and additional parts that are purchased to provide the required configuration. Typically such systems are built using approximately 20 to 25 percent of existing inventory and approximately 75% of additional parts that are purchased.

However, most of the systems currently being sold to the Korean military consist of 5 kW systems. They have been purchasing approximately 100 systems per year and have indicated to us that they will continue to do so for the next five years. To date we have shipped over 500 such systems (in this case 100% of the rotors and stators are used from existing inventory and over 50% of the electrical parts are also from inventory).

In addition to the above, we constantly see demand for different and unique configurations that require the purchase of additional parts.
