these assessments, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
1 unchanged sentence
Based on these assessments, and on those criteria, the Company’s
−Removed: management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of February 28, 2019.
−Removed: Following July 1, 2019, our current management concluded that there was a material weakness in internal control that existed as
−Removed: of February 28, 2019.
−Removed: A “material weakness”
−Removed: is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control
−Removed: over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial
−Removed: statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
−Removed: Specifically, current management identified
−Removed: that certain former individuals associated with the Company misapplied certain equity transactions among other misstatements described
−Removed: below, all with the intent to manipulate the shareholder proxy contest commenced in March 2019 seeking to remove Messrs.
−Removed: Anderson and Yu from the Company’s Board of Directors.
−Removed: These activities resulted in certain mischaracterizations in the
−Removed: descriptions of various events, the improper recording of approximately $2.0 million related to stock issuances, and other misstatements.
−Removed: (the “Misstatements”).
−Removed: As a result, we have concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial
−Removed: reporting as of February 28, 2019 based on the criteria in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
−Removed: Accordingly, in October 2019 management
−Removed: restated the Company’s financial statements and related notes to the financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K
−Removed: for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2019, as amended, to reflect (i) approximately $2.0 million erroneously recorded as additional
−Removed: paid in capital (ii) an unrecorded adjustment of $100,000 in relation to an overstated accounts payable amount (iii) other unrecorded
−Removed: accruals of approximately $40,000 in relation to unrecorded expenses incurred in fiscal 2019;
−Removed: (iv) understating the number of
−Removed: common shares held by shareholders seeking the removal of Messrs.
−Removed: Buschur, Anderson and Yu through the proxy contest commenced
−Removed: in March 2019 by approximately 1.5 million shares;
−Removed: (v) overstating basic and diluted loss per share for the fiscal year ended
−Removed: February 28, 2019 by approximately $0.05 per common share and (vi) classifying cash receipts of approximately $68,000 related
−Removed: to the issuance of a fixed number of shares as a current liability and not additional paid-in capital.
−Removed: The Company has concluded that the financial
−Removed: impact of the Misstatements is not material to any of its previously issued financial statements.
−Removed: Remediation Plan
−Removed: During fiscal year 2020, we carried out
−Removed: the following actions to remediate this material weakness with the oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors
−Removed: (i) we issued amended and restated Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2019 on October 13, 2019 containing restated
−Removed: financial statements and related notes thereto (ii) we filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
−Removed: the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for each of the quarterly reporting periods of fiscal 2020 (iii) we filed the Quarterly Report
−Removed: on Form 10-Q for the third quarter ended November 30, 2019 within the prescribed 45-day filing period and (iv) we issued a Current
−Removed: Report on Form 8-K on May 29, 2020 requesting an extension of the prescribed filing period for this Annual Report on Form 10-K
−Removed: to July 13, 2020.
−Removed: As a result of these actions, the management team has concluded that the material weakness described above with
−Removed: respect to material misstatements in the initial filing of the Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2019 and the history
−Removed: of the Company failing to file Forms 10-K and 10-Q on a timely basis have been remediated as of February 29, 2020.
−Removed: The new management
−Removed: has committed to (i) upgrade the existing financial systems to newer technology and (ii) recruit and retain qualified accounting

−Removed: have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
−Removed: The Company does not expect that its disclosure
−Removed: controls and procedures or its internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud.
−Removed: A control procedure,
−Removed: no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control
−Removed: procedure are met.
−Removed: Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute
−Removed: assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
−Removed: These inherent limitations
−Removed: include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or
−Removed: Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people,
−Removed: or by management override of the control.
−Removed: The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about
−Removed: the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under
−Removed: all potential future conditions;
−Removed: over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of
−Removed: compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
−Removed: Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure,
−Removed: misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
+Added: management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of February 28, 2021.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
−Removed: Revenue Recognition
−Removed: The core principle of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts
−Removed: with Customers (“ASC 606”), is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services
−Removed: to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods
−Removed: In applying ASC 606, all revenue transactions must be evaluated using a five-step approach to determine the amount
−Removed: and timing of revenue to be recognized.
−Removed: The five-step approach requires (1) identifying the contract with the customer, (2) identifying
−Removed: the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the
−Removed: performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognizing revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.
−Removed: Our primary source of revenue is the manufacture and delivery
−Removed: of generator sets used primarily in mobile power applications, which represented 100% of our revenues of approximately $822,000
−Removed: and $39,000 for the fiscal years ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, respectively.
−Removed: Our principle sales channel is sales
−Removed: to a domestic distributor.
−Removed: In accordance with ASC 606, we
−Removed: recognize the entirety of the revenue, net of discounts, for our generator sets at time of product delivery to the domestic
−Removed: distributor (i.e.
−Removed: point-in-time), which also corresponds to the passage of legal title to the customer and the satisfaction
−Removed: of our performance obligations to the customer.
−Removed: Our payment terms are cash payment due upon delivery and typically includes a
−Removed: 2% price discount off the selling price in accordance with this policy.
−Removed: Our commercial terms and conditions do not include a
−Removed: right of return for reasons other than a defect in performance or quality.
−Removed: We offer an eighteen-month assurance-type warranty
−Removed: covering material and manufacturing defects, which we account for under the guidance of ASC 460, Guarantees.

+Added: Company adopted ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), in Fiscal 2020, which required that public companies evaluate
