−Removed: price discount in accordance with this policy.
−Removed: Our commercial terms and conditions do not include a right of return for reasons other
−Removed: than a defect in performance or quality.
−Removed: We offer 18 months assurance-type warranty covering material and manufacturing defects, which
−Removed: we account for under the guidance of ASC 460, Guarantees.
−Removed: We have a limited history of shipments, and, as such, we have not recorded
−Removed: a warranty liability on our balance sheets as of May 31 and February 28, 2021, respectively;
−Removed: however, we expect warranty claims to eventually
−Removed: be nil, therefore, we have not delayed the recognition of revenue during Fiscal 2022 and 2021.
−Removed: account for stock-based compensation under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, “Compensation –
−Removed: Stock Compensation”, which
−Removed: requires the measurement of all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, using a fair value-based
−Removed: method and the recording of such expense in the statements of operations.
−Removed: account for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees, such as consultants and third parties, in accordance
−Removed: with FASB ASC 718, “Compensation –
−Removed: Stock Compensation”, where appropriate, whereas the fair value of the equity-based
−Removed: compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at the earlier of either (a) the date at which a performance commitment
−Removed: is reached or (b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.
−Removed: accordance with established public company accounting practice, we have consistently utilized the Black-Scholes option-pricing model
−Removed: to calculate the fair value of stock options and warrants issued as compensation, primarily to management, employees, and directors.
−Removed: The Black-Scholes option-pricing model is a widely accepted method of valuation that public companies typically utilize to calculate
−Removed: the fair value of options and warrants that they issue in such circumstances.
−Removed: During the three-month period ended May 31, 2020, our Board
−Removed: of Directors awarded a total of 1,250,000 stock options to the five members of the board, which resulted in an aggregate fair value of
−Removed: $193,500 of which $77,600 was recorded as stock-based compensation in the three-months ended May 31, 2020.
−Removed: During the three months ended
−Removed: February 28, 2021, the board approved an aggregate grant of 1,500,000 stock options to board members, which resulted in an aggregate
−Removed: fair value of $382,500, of which $146,300 was recorded as stock-based compensation cost in the three-months ended May 31, 2021.
−Removed: adopted ASC 842 , Leases , in Fiscal 2020, which required that public companies evaluate all operating leases in accordance with
−Removed: ASC 842 and recognize a lease liability on the balance sheet by determining the present value of the remaining lease payments for each
−Removed: lease using a discount rate based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.
−Removed: A corresponding right-of-use asset is also recognized
−Removed: that is amortized over the remaining term of the lease.
−Removed: Throughout Fiscal 2020 and the majority of Fiscal 2021, we did not implement
−Removed: the new guidance to our existing leases because the guidance does not require application of the standard for leases that are less than
−Removed: 12 months with lease renewal unlikely.
−Removed: All of the facility leases were month-to-month with management’s intention of exiting the
−Removed: leases and facilities as soon as practical.
−Removed: In February 2021, we entered into a 66-month facility lease in Lake Forest, CA that began
−Removed: on March 1, 2021, which resulted in the application of ASC 842 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2021.
−Removed: As of February 28, 2020,
−Removed: we recognized a lease liability and a right-of-use asset of $1.2 million, respectively.
−Removed: During Fiscal 2022 and beyond, we will be applying
−Removed: the new lease standard to this lease and any other operating leases we enter into in the future.
−Removed: COVID-19 global pandemic has negatively affected the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, and created extreme volatility and
−Removed: disruptions to capital and credit markets in the global financial markets.
−Removed: We began to see the impact of COVID-19 during our fourth quarter
−Removed: of Fiscal 2020 with our Chinese joint venture’s manufacturing facilities being required to close and many of our customers suspending
−Removed: their own operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
−Removed: As a result, net sales and production levels during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020,
−Removed: the entirety of Fiscal 2021 and the first quarter of Fiscal 2022 were significantly reduced, thus impacting our results of operations
−Removed: during these quarters.
−Removed: response to the COVID-19 pandemic and business disruption, we implemented certain measures to manage costs, preserve liquidity and enhance
−Removed: employee safety.
−Removed: These measures included the following:
−Removed: of payroll related expenses including temporary furloughs during the first quarter of Fiscal
−Removed: of capital expenditures and other discretionary expenditures
−Removed: programs including disinfecting activities in our facilities
−Removed: extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial results and liquidity will depend largely on current and future
−Removed: developments, including the containment of COVID-19 within the U.S.
−Removed: and globally, the timing and effectiveness of vaccine rollout, the
−Removed: possible spread of Covid-19 variants and the impact on capital and financial markets and the related impact on our customers, especially
−Removed: in the commercial vehicle markets.
−Removed: These future developments are outside of our control, are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
−Removed: If the impact is prolonged, then it can further increase the difficulty of planning for operations and may require us to take further
−Removed: actions as it relates to costs and liquidity.
−Removed: These and other potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have adversely impacted our
−Removed: results for the entirety of Fiscal 2021, the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, and could be impactful for the balance of Fiscal 2022.
−Removed: accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
−Removed: three-month period ended May 31, 2021, the Company reported a net loss of approximately $1.1 million and negative cash flows from
−Removed: operating activities of $0.5 million, respectively.
−Removed: In the event the Company is unable to generate profits and is unable to obtain
−Removed: financing for its working capital requirements, it may have to curtail its business further or cease business altogether.
−Removed: factors raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
−Removed: additional capital resources will be required to fund continuing expenditures related to our research, development, manufacturing and
−Removed: business development activities.
−Removed: The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient
−Removed: cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to retain its current financing, to obtain additional financing, and ultimately
−Removed: to attain profitability.
−Removed: the next twelve months we intend to continue to attempt to increase the Company’s operations and focus on the sale of our AuraGen ®®
−Removed: /VIPER products
−Removed: both domestically and internationally and to add to our existing management team.
−Removed: In addition, we plan to complete the move to our new
−Removed: facility for operations, rebuild the engineering and sales teams, and to the extent appropriate, utilize third party contractors to support
−Removed: the operation.
−Removed: We anticipate being able to obtain new sources of funding to support these actions in the upcoming fiscal year.

−Removed: 17%, respectively.
−Removed: The gross loss and related gross margin loss for the Three-Months FY2022 were largely influenced by the low volume
−Removed: of shipments in the quarter which reduced our ability to fully absorb fixed operating costs including higher operating costs related
−Removed: to the new facility.

−Removed: expense in the Three-Months FY2022 decreased approximately $20,000 or 7%, to approximately $270,000 from approximately $290,000 in the
