+Added: Determination and Valuation of Warrant Derivative
+Added: As discussed in Notes 3 and 13 to the financial
+Added: statements, during the year ended February 28, 2022 and in prior periods, the Company issued warrants that required management to assess
+Added: whether the warrants required accounting as derivative liabilities.
+Added: When it is determined that derivative liability accounting treatment
+Added: is required, the Company measures the derivative liabilities at fair value using binominal models.
+Added: Such models use certain assumptions
+Added: related to exercise price, term, expected volatility, and risk-free interest rate.
+Added: As of February 28, 2022, the warrant derivative liability
+Added: totaled $828,000.
+Added: We identified the determination and valuation of the warrant derivative
+Added: liability as a critical audit matter due to the significant judgements used by the Company in determining whether the warrants required
+Added: derivative accounting treatment and the significant judgements used in determining the fair value of the warrant derivative liability
+Added: including the appropriateness of the model utilized.
+Added: Auditing the determination and valuation of the warrant derivative liability involved
+Added: a high degree of auditor judgement and specialized skills and knowledge were needed.
+Added: The primary procedures we performed to address
+Added: this critical audit matter included the following.
+Added: We inspected and reviewed warrant agreements to evaluate the Company’s determination
+Added: of whether derivative accounting was required, including assessing and evaluating management’s application of relevant accounting
+Added: standards to such transactions.

+Added: derivative instrument.
+Added: We tested the reasonableness of the underlying assumptions and data used in the valuations to determine the fair
+Added: values, including stock price, exercise price, term, expected volatility and risk-free interest rate.
+Added: We tested the accuracy and completeness
+Added: of data used by the Company in developing the assumptions used in the model.
+Added: We developed an independent expectation using market data
+Added: sources, models and key assumptions determined to be relevant and reliable and compared such independent expectation to the Company’s

−Removed: In Fiscal 2021, we completed our relocation of our operations and administrative
−Removed: offices to a new location (see Note 8, Leases), rebuild the engineering and sales teams, and to the extent appropriate, utilize third
−Removed: party contractors to support the operation.
−Removed: We anticipate being able to obtain new sources of funding to support these actions in the
−Removed: upcoming Fiscal year.
−Removed: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
−Removed: core principle of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), is that an entity
−Removed: recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the
−Removed: consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
−Removed: In applying ASC 606, all
−Removed: revenue transactions must be evaluated using a five-step approach to determine the amount and timing of revenue to be
−Removed: The five-step approach requires (1) identifying the contract with the customer, (2) identifying the performance
−Removed: obligations in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance
−Removed: obligations in the contract and (5) recognizing revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.
−Removed: Our primary source of
−Removed: revenue is the manufacture and delivery of generator sets used primarily in mobile power applications, which represented 100%
−Removed: of our revenues of approximately $0.1 million and $0.8 million for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2021 and February 29,
−Removed: 2020, respectively.
+Added: In addition, we plan to continue to rebuild the engineering and sales
+Added: teams, and to the extent appropriate, utilize third party contractors to support the operation.
+Added: We anticipate being able to obtain new
+Added: sources of funding to support these actions in the upcoming Fiscal year.
+Added: No assurance can be given that any future financing, if needed,
+Added: will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company.
+Added: Even if the Company is able to obtain
+Added: additional financing, if needed, it may contain undue restrictions on its operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial
+Added: dilution for its stockholders, in the case of equity financing.
+Added: In the event the Company is unable to generate profits and is unable to
+Added: obtain financing for its working capital requirements, it may have to curtail its business further or cease business altogether.
+Added: As of the date of this filing, there continues to
+Added: be widespread concern regarding the ongoing impacts and disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the regions in which the Company
+Added: Although the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have not been material to date, a prolonged downturn in economic conditions could
+Added: have a material adverse effect on our customers and demand for our services.
+Added: The Company has not observed any impairments of its assets
+Added: or a significant change in the fair value of its assets due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
+Added: At this time, it is not possible for the Company
+Added: to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business or results
+Added: of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.
+Added: NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
+Added: Use of Estimates
+Added: The preparation of financial statements in conformity
+Added: with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date
+Added: of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods.
+Added: Significant estimates include
+Added: assumptions made for inventory reserve, impairment testing of long-lived assets, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, assumptions
+Added: used in valuing derivative liabilities, assumptions used in valuing share-based compensation, and accruals for potential liabilities.
+Added: Amounts could materially change in the future.
+Added: Revenue Recognition
+Added: The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with
+Added: Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue
+Added: from Contracts with Customers.
+Added: To determine revenue recognition under ASC 606, an entity performs the following five-steps (i) identifies
+Added: the contract(s) with a customer;
+Added: (ii) identifies the performance obligations in the contract;
+Added: (iii) determines the transaction price;
+Added: (iv) allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract;
+Added: and (v) recognizes revenue when (or as) the entity
+Added: satisfies a performance obligation.
+Added: The Company only applies the five-steps to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect
+Added: the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer.
+Added: Our primary source of revenue is the manufacture and delivery of generator
+Added: sets used primarily in mobile power applications, which represented nearly 100 % of our revenues of approximately $ 100,000 and $ 115,000
+Added: for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2022 and February 28, 2021, respectively.
Our principal sales channel is sales to a domestic distributor.
−Removed: accordance with ASC 606, we recognize the entirety of the revenue, net of discounts, for our generator sets at time of product
−Removed: delivery to the domestic distributor (i.e.
−Removed: point-in-time), which also corresponds to the passage of legal title to the customer
−Removed: and the satisfaction of our performance obligations to the customer.
−Removed: Our payment terms are cash payment due upon delivery and
−Removed: typically includes a 2% price discount off the selling price in accordance with this policy.
−Removed: Our commercial terms and conditions
−Removed: do not include a right of return for reasons other than a defect in performance or quality.
−Removed: We offer an eighteen-month assurance-type
−Removed: warranty covering material and manufacturing defects, which we account for under the guidance of ASC 460, Guarantees.
−Removed: have a limited history of shipments, and, as such, we have not recorded a warranty liability on our balance sheets at February
+Added: In accordance with ASC 606, we recognize revenue,
+Added: net of discounts, for our generator sets at time of product delivery to the domestic distributor (i.e.

+Added: commercial terms and conditions do not include a right of return for reasons other than a defect in performance or quality.
+Added: a 24 month assurance-type warranty covering material and manufacturing defects, which we account for under the guidance of ASC 460, Guarantees.
+Added: We have a limited history of shipments, and, as such, we have not recorded a warranty liability on our balance sheets at February
28, 2022 and February 28, 2021, respectively;
−Removed: however, we expect warranty claims to eventually be nil, therefore, we have not
−Removed: delayed the recognition of revenue during Fiscal years 2021 and 2020.
−Removed: and Cash Equivalents
−Removed: and equivalents include cash on hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments
−Removed: with original maturities of three months or less.
−Removed: We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and believe we are not exposed
−Removed: to any significant risk on cash and cash equivalents.
−Removed: are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market, on an average cost basis.
−Removed: We review the components of inventory
−Removed: on a regular basis for excess or obsolete inventory based on estimated future usage and sales.
−Removed: From Fiscal 2015 through 2019 we
−Removed: minimally operated and therefore only produced minimal product.
−Removed: As a result, while we believed that a portion of the inventory
−Removed: had value, we were unable to substantiate its demand and market value, we fully reserved it as of February 28, 2019
−Removed: Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, Compensation –
−Removed: Stock Compensation
−Removed: (“ASC 718”), which requires the measurement of all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee
−Removed: stock options, using a fair value-based method and the recording of such expense in the statements of operations.
−Removed: Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees, such as consultants and third parties,
−Removed: in accordance with ASC 718, where appropriate, whereas the fair value of the equity-based compensation is based upon the measurement
−Removed: date as determined at the earlier of either (a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached or (b) at the
−Removed: date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.
−Removed: accordance with established public company accounting practice, the Company has consistently utilized the Black-Scholes option-pricing
−Removed: model to calculate the fair value of stock options and warrants issued as compensation, primarily to management, employees, and
−Removed: The Black-Scholes option-pricing model is a widely accepted method of valuation that public companies typically
−Removed: utilize to calculate the fair value of options and warrants that they issue in such circumstances.
−Removed: Company adopted ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), in Fiscal 2020, which required that public companies evaluate
−Removed: all operating leases in accordance with ASC 842 and recognize a lease liability on the balance sheet by determining the present
−Removed: value of the remaining lease payments for each lease using a discount rate based on the Company’s incremental borrowing
−Removed: A corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) asset is also recognized that is subject to amortization over the remaining
−Removed: term of the lease.
−Removed: Throughout Fiscal 2020 and the majority of Fiscal 2021, we did not implement the new guidance to our existing
−Removed: leases because the guidance does not require application of the standard for leases that are less than 12 months with lease renewal
−Removed: All of the facility leases were month-to-month with management’s intention of exiting the leases and facilities
−Removed: as soon as practical.
−Removed: In February 2021, we entered into a 66-month facility lease in Lake Forest, CA that began on March 1, 2021,
−Removed: which resulted in the application of ASC 842 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2021.
−Removed: As of February 28, 2020, we recognized
−Removed: a lease liability and a right-of-use asset of $1.2 million, respectively.
−Removed: During Fiscal 2022 and beyond, we will be applying ASC
−Removed: 842 to this lease and any other operating leases we enter into in the future.
−Removed: Value of Financial Instruments
−Removed: Company determines the fair values of its financial instruments based on a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize
−Removed: the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
−Removed: The classification of a financial
−Removed: asset or liability within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
−Removed: Under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), the fair value hierarchy prioritizes the
−Removed: inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
−Removed: Level 1 –
−Removed: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets and liabilities in active markets;
−Removed: Level 2 –
−Removed: Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that are observable either directly
−Removed: or indirectly;
−Removed: Level 3 –
−Removed: Unobservable inputs.
−Removed: Company measures our financial assets and liabilities in accordance with the requirements of FASB ASC 825 “Financial Instruments”.
−Removed: The carrying values of accounts payable, current notes payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate fair value
−Removed: due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
−Removed: The carrying amounts of long-term convertible notes payable approximate
−Removed: their respective fair values because of their current interest rates payable and other features of such debt in relation to current
−Removed: market conditions.
−Removed: Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”).
−Removed: Under ASC 740,
−Removed: deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and
−Removed: liabilities and their financial statement reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates
−Removed: applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.
−Removed: Valuation allowances are established,
−Removed: when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
−Removed: The provision for income taxes represents
−Removed: the tax expense for the period, if any, and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
−Removed: Company has significant income tax net operating losses;
−Removed: however, due to the uncertainty of the realizability of the related deferred
−Removed: tax asset and other deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance equal to the amount of deferred tax assets has been established
−Removed: at February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020.
−Removed: 740 also provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions.
−Removed: A tax benefit
−Removed: from an uncertain position may be recognized only if it is “more likely than not”
−Removed: that the position is sustainable
−Removed: based on its technical merit.
−Removed: Earnings (Loss) per
−Removed: Company applies FASB ASC 260, Earnings per Share (“ASC 260”).
−Removed: Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by
−Removed: dividing earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.
−Removed: earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include
−Removed: additional common shares available upon exercise of outstanding warrants using the treasury stock method, except for periods of
−Removed: operating loss for which no common share equivalents are included because their effect would be anti-dilutive.
−Removed: Diluted earnings per
−Removed: share also includes the dilutive effect of assuming the convertible securities that are outstanding are converted into common shares
−Removed: by applying the conversion rate to the securities’
−Removed: amounts outstanding and determining which, if any, convertible securities
−Removed: are dilutive.
−Removed: This assumption will add additional shares to the denominator for the diluted number of shares outstanding.
−Removed: numerator is affected by assuming the accrued interest due to the holders of the convertible securities is no longer applicable,
−Removed: which increases the amount of income in the numerator.
−Removed: The Company determined that all of the convertible securities outstanding at
−Removed: February 28, 2021 were antidilutive to the basic earnings per share and 4,631,500 shares were excluded from the calculation.
−Removed: addition, 1,040,000 stock options granted under the 2011 Plan (See note 9) and warrants of 5,662,272 were excluded from the
−Removed: calculation of diluted earning per share at February 28, 2021 because they were antidilutive.
−Removed: The following table sets forth the
−Removed: basic and diluted income (loss) per share for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020:
−Removed: Fiscal Year Ended February
−Removed: (Denominator)
−Removed: Income available to common stockholders
−Removed: Effect of Dilutive Securities
−Removed: Stock Options-2011 Plan
−Removed: Income available to common stockholders plus assumed conversions
−Removed: Fiscal Year Ended February
−Removed: (Denominator)
−Removed: Loss available to common stockholders
+Added: however, we expect warranty claims to eventually be nil, therefore, we have not delayed
+Added: the recognition of revenue during Fiscal years 2022 and 2021.
+Added: Cost of Goods Sold
+Added: Cost of goods sold primarily consists of the salaries
+Added: of certain employees and contractors, purchase price of consumer products, packaging supplies, inventory reserve and customer shipping
+Added: and handling expenses.
+Added: Shipping costs to receive products from our suppliers are included in our inventory and recognized as cost of
+Added: revenue upon sale of products to our customers.
+Added: Cash and Cash Equivalents
+Added: Cash and equivalents include cash on hand and cash
+Added: in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.
+Added: Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in,
+Added: first-out) or net realizable value, on an average cost basis.
+Added: We review the components of inventory on a regular basis for excess or
+Added: obsolete inventory based on estimated future usage and sales.
+Added: When evidence exists that the net realizable value of inventory is lower
+Added: than its cost, the difference is recognized as a loss in the period in which it occurs.
+Added: Once inventory has been written down, it creates
+Added: a new cost basis for inventory that may not be subsequently written up.
+Added: During the year ended February 28, 2022, the Company wrote-down
+Added: inventories of $ 36,000 .
+Added: During the year ended February 28, 2021, there were no inventory write downs recorded.
+Added: Property and Equipment
+Added: Property and equipment are recorded at historical
+Added: cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of approximately three years up to ten years once the
+Added: individual assets are placed in service.
+Added: Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life or the remaining period
+Added: of the applicable lease term.
+Added: Management assesses the carrying value of property
+Added: and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
+Added: If there is indication
+Added: of impairment, management prepares an estimate of future cash flows e xpected
+Added: to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition.
+Added: If these cash flows are less than the
+Added: carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value at that time.
+Added: 28, 2022 and 2021, management determined there were no impairments of the Company’s property and equipment.
+Added: of Long-lived Assets
+Added: The Company reviews its property and
+Added: equipment, right-of-use asset, and other long-lived assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
+Added: the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable.
+Added: Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an
+Added: asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.
+Added: If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds
+Added: its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset
+Added: exceeds the fair value of the assets.
+Added: Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows
+Added: or market value, if readily determinable.
+Added: For the years ended February 28, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no impairment of long-lived
+Added: The Company determines whether a contract is, or
+Added: contains, a lease at inception.
+Added: Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term,
+Added: and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.
+Added: Right-of-use assets and
+Added: lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based upon the estimated present value of unpaid lease payments over the lease
+Added: The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement in determining the present
+Added: value of unpaid lease payments.
+Added: Customer Advances
+Added: Customer advances represent consideration received
+Added: from customers under revenue contracts for which the Company has not yet delivered to the customer.
+Added: Concentration of Credit and Other Risks
+Added: Financial instruments that potentially subject the
+Added: Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and accounts receivable.

+Added: institutions.
+Added: The balances held at any one financial institution at times may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”)
+Added: insurance limits of up to $ 250,000 .
+Added: We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and believe we are not exposed to any significant
+Added: risk on cash and cash equivalents.
+Added: During the year ended February 28, 2022, one customer
+Added: accounted for 18 % of revenues.
+Added: During the year ended February 28, 2021, one customers accounted for 83 % of revenues.
+Added: As of February 28, 2022, three vendors accounted
+Added: for 44 %, 13 % and 15 % of accounts payable.
+Added: As of February 28, 2021, three vendors accounted for 34 %, 31 % and 13 % of accounts payable.
+Added: Research and Development
+Added: The Company engages in research and development to stay current with
+Added: changes in vehicle manufacture and design and to maintain an advantage over potential competition.
+Added: Research and development expenses relate
+Added: primarily to the development, design, testing of preproduction prototypes and models and are expensed as incurred.
+Added: Research and development
+Added: costs for Fiscal 2022 and 2021 was approximately $ 600,000 and $ 200,000 , respectively.
+Added: Share-Based Compensation
+Added: The Company periodically issues stock options
+Added: and warrants, and shares of common stock to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing
+Added: Share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized
+Added: as expense over the requisite service period.
+Added: Recognition of compensation expense for non-employees is in the same period and manner as
+Added: if the Company had paid cash for services.
+Added: The Company uses an asset and liability approach
+Added: for accounting and reporting for income taxes that allows recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood
+Added: of realization of tax benefits in future years.
+Added: Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects
+Added: of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used
+Added: for income tax purposes.
+Added: A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either
+Added: expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.
+Added: The Company’s policy is
+Added: to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
+Added: Derivative Warrant Liability
+Added: The Company evaluates its financial instruments
+Added: to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives.
+Added: For derivative financial instruments
+Added: that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each
+Added: reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations.
+Added: The classification of derivative instruments,
+Added: including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.
+Added: instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the
+Added: derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
+Added: The Company uses Level 2 inputs for its valuation
+Added: methodology for the derivative liabilities as their fair values were determined by using a Binomial pricing model.
+Added: The Company’s
+Added: derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting date, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being
+Added: recorded in the statement of operations.
+Added: Fair Value of Financial Instruments
+Added: The Company determines the fair values of its financial
+Added: instruments based on a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of
+Added: unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
+Added: The classification of a financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is based upon
+Added: the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
+Added: Under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures
+Added: (“ASC 820”), the fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
+Added: Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets and liabilities
+Added: in active markets;
+Added: Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
+Added: that are observable either directly or indirectly;
+Added: Level 3 – Unobservable inputs.
+Added: The recorded amounts of inventory, other current
+Added: assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.
+Added: The carrying amounts of notes
+Added: payable and convertible notes payable approximate their respective fair values because of their current interest rates payable in relation
+Added: to current market conditions.
+Added: The following table sets
+Added: forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s assets and liabilities at fair value as of February 28, 2022 and
+Added: February 28, 2022
+Added: Derivative warrant liability
+Added: Total liabilities
+Added: February 28, 2021
+Added: Derivative warrant liability

+Added: The Company estimated
+Added: the fair value of the derivative warrant liability using the Binomial Model (see Note 14).
+Added: (loss) per share
+Added: The Company’s earnings (loss) per share
+Added: amounts have been computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.
+Added: Basic earnings (loss)
+Added: per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common
+Added: stock outstanding during the period.
+Added: Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common
+Added: shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock assuming all potential shares had been issued, and the additional
+Added: shares of common stock were dilutive.
+Added: Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution, using the as-if-converted method
+Added: for convertible debt, and the treasury stock method for options and warrants, which could occur if all potentially dilutive securities
+Added: were exercised
+Added: following information sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net increase in the Company's net assets per share resulting from
+Added: operations for the years ended February 28, 2022 and 2021:

+Added: Adjustment for interest expense on convertible notes
+Added: Adjusted net income (loss)
$ ( 3,991,863 )
−Removed: Use of Estimates
−Removed: preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
−Removed: assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
−Removed: amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
−Removed: Actual results could differ from those estimates.

+Added: the years ended February 28, 2022, the calculations of basic and diluted loss per share are the same because potential dilutive securities
+Added: would have had an anti-dilutive effect.
+Added: The potentially dilutive securities consisted of the following:

−Removed: The amendment will be effective for public companies with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020;
−Removed: early adoption is permitted.
−Removed: The Company is evaluating the impact of this amendment on its financial statements.

−Removed: The Company believes the adoption will modify the way the Company analyzes financial
−Removed: instruments, but it does not anticipate a material impact on results of operations.
−Removed: The Company is in the process of determining
−Removed: the effects adoption will have on its financial statements.
−Removed: August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt –
−Removed: Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives
−Removed: and Hedging –
−Removed: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815 –

−Removed: instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity.
−Removed: The ASU2020-06 amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning
−Removed: after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years.
−Removed: Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than
−Removed: fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years.
−Removed: The Company is evaluating
−Removed: the impact of this guidance on its financial statements.
−Removed: on February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020 consisted of the following:
+Added: Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified
+Added: to conform to the current year presentation.
+Added: These reclassifications have no effect on the previously reported financial position, results
+Added: of operations and cash flows (see Note 3).
+Added: The Company operates
+Added: in one segment for the manufacture and delivery of generator sets.
+Added: In accordance with the “ Segment Reporting ” Topic
+Added: of the ASC, the Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the President, who reviews operating results to
+Added: make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company.
+Added: Existing guidance, which is based on a management
+Added: approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment information quarterly and to report annually entity-wide
+Added: disclosures about products and services, major customers, and the countries in which the entity holds material assets and reports revenue.
+Added: All material operating units qualify for aggregation under “Segment Reporting” due to their similar customer base and similarities
+Added: in economic characteristics;
+Added: nature of products and services;
+Added: and procurement, manufacturing and distribution processes.
+Added: Since the Company
+Added: operates in one segment, all financial information required by “Segment Reporting” can be found in the accompanying financial
+Added: Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
+Added: In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.
+Added: Credit Losses – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”).
+Added: The standard significantly changes
+Added: how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts and notes receivables.
+Added: The standard will replace
+Added: today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model, under which companies will recognize allowances
+Added: based on expected rather than incurred losses.
+Added: Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to
+Added: retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective.
+Added: As a small business filer, the
+Added: standard will be effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after March 1, 2023.
+Added: Management is currently
+Added: assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.
+Added: In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No.
+Added: (“ASU 2020-06”) “ Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts
+Added: in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40).
+Added: ” ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments
+Added: by eliminating the cash conversion and beneficial conversion models.
+Added: As a result, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for
+Added: as a single liability measured at its amortized cost as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives.
+Added: By removing those separation models, the effective interest rate of convertible debt instruments will be closer to the coupon interest
+Added: Further, the diluted net income per share calculation for convertible instruments will require the Company to use the if-converted
+Added: ASU 2020-06 will be effective March 1, 2024, for the Company and is to be adopted through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the
+Added: opening balance of retained earnings.
+Added: Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than January 1, 2021, including interim periods within
+Added: Management is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on the financial statements, but currently does
+Added: not believe ASU 2020-06 will have a significant impact on the Company’s accounting for its convertible debt instruments.
+Added: will largely depend on the composition and terms of the financial instruments at the time of adoption.
+Added: In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings
+Added: Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718),
+Added: and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40):
+Added: Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications
+Added: or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options .
+Added: ASU 2021-04 provides clarification and reduces diversity in
+Added: an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (such as warrants)
+Added: that remain equity classified after modification or exchange.
+Added: An issuer measures the effect of a modification or exchange as the difference
+Added: between the fair value of the modified or exchanged warrant and the fair value of that warrant immediately before modification or exchange.
+Added: ASU 2021-04 introduces a recognition model that comprises four categories of transactions and the corresponding accounting treatment
+Added: for each category (equity issuance, debt origination, debt modification, and modifications unrelated to equity issuance and debt origination
+Added: or modification).
+Added: ASU 2021-04 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods
+Added: within those fiscal years.
+Added: An entity should apply the guidance provided in ASU 2021-04 prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring
+Added: on or after the effective date.
+Added: Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period.
+Added: If an entity elects
+Added: to early adopt ASU 2021-04 in an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes
+Added: that interim period.
+Added: The adoption of ASU 2021-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements
+Added: or disclosures.
+Added: Other recent accounting pronouncements issued
+Added: by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and
+Added: Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s
+Added: present or future financial statements.
+Added: NOTE 3 – RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
+Added: The financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2021 and certain
+Added: balances as of February 29, 2020 have been restated.
+Added: On May 31, 2022, our management determined the following:
+Added: ● that the Company erroneously did not recognize a derivative warrant
+Added: liability associated with warrants issued in prior years that included a fundamental transaction provision that could give rise to an
+Added: obligation to pay cash to the warrant holder.
+Added: As such, the Company determined that the warrants fundamental transaction provision created
+Added: a derivative liability pursuant to current accounting guidelines.
+Added: ● that the Company had issued common stock in exchange for
+Added: a settlement of debt to a former employee during fiscal 2018 and had erroneously not accounted for it until fiscal 2021.
+Added: ● that the Company had granted stock options during fiscal
+Added: 2021 which were erroneously not recorded.
+Added: The effects on the previously issued financial statements are as follows:
+Added: (A) In fiscal 2022, the Company recognized that previously issued warrants
+Added: had characteristics of derivative liabilities.
+Added: The Company determined the fair value of the warrant derivative liability as of February
+Added: 29, 2020, was $ 947,271 , and recorded the liability and its associated expense as a prior period adjustment to Accumulated Deficit in the
+Added: amount of $ 947,271 .
+Added: Additionally, the warrant derivative liability was revalued at February 28, 2021 and the net increase in fair value
+Added: of $ 419,103 was recorded as additional liability.
+Added: The associated other net expense of $ 432,714 for the increase in fair value, partially
+Added: offset by the gain on expiring warrants of $ 13,611 , was recorded to the statement of operations.
+Added: (B) In fiscal 2022, the Company recognized that during fiscal 2021, the
+Added: Company recorded the effect of issuing common stock for debt to a former employee when the issuance had occurred in fiscal 2018.
+Added: the timing of recording the transaction, the Company calculated the gain on the extinguishment of debt as of the February 28, 2018, issuance
+Added: date in the amount of $ 256,044 and recorded the gain as a prior period adjustment to Accumulated Deficit.
+Added: Additionally, the interest expense
+Added: associated with the debt of $ 13,460 and gain on its extinguishment of $ 133,500 recorded in fiscal 2021 were reversed out of the statement
+Added: of operations.
+Added: € In fiscal 2022, the Company recognized that certain stock options granted during fiscal 2021 should have been fully or partially vested in the year of grant but had no share-based compensation expense recorded in fiscal 2021.
+Added: To correct the timing of the expense recognition, the Company computed the amount of expense associated with the vesting as of February 28, 2021, and recorded an additional $ 258,636 of stock-based compensation expense to the statement of operations and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
+Added: Reclassifications
+Added: (1) In fiscal 2021, the Company presented
+Added: interest accrued of $ 3,668 on its Economic Injury Disaster Loan as additional note payable principle.
+Added: In the accompanying fiscal
+Added: 2022 financial statements, the Company has reclassified the accrued interest of $ 3,668 recorded in fiscal 2021 from notes payable to
+Added: accrued interest.
+Added: (2) In fiscal 2021, the Company presented
+Added: $ 2,713,652 of extinguishment of accrued wages and accounts payable as Other Income.

−Removed: Operating expenses estimated to be approximately $4,000 per month are considered a variable lease component and
−Removed: excluded from the determination of the ROU asset and the lease liability.
−Removed: Other operating expenses, such as utilities and property
−Removed: taxes, are similarly excluded in the calculation of the ROU as they do not represent goods and services provided by the lessor
−Removed: under the terms of the lease.
−Removed: Contingencies
−Removed: are subject to the legal proceedings and claims discussed below as well as certain other legal proceedings and claims that have

−Removed: The Company settled certain matters subsequent
−Removed: to year end that did not individually or in the aggregate have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or
−Removed: operating results.
−Removed: 2017, the Company’s former COO was awarded approximately $238,000 in accrued salary and related charges by the California

−Removed: Kopple claims to be

−Removed: In 2018, the Court sustained demurrers by Mr.

−Removed: Gagerman and as a result of these successful demurrers, all four of these defendants have been dismissed from the suit.
−Removed: the Company believes that it has certain valid defenses in these matters, the Company is currently in settlement discussions with

−Removed: Kopple continues to demand that as
−Removed: part of any such settlement, he receive unilateral control over significant aspects of the Company’s financial and management
−Removed: functions such as, but not limited to, the right to unilaterally direct the Company’s ordinary business expenditures and
−Removed: requiring the Company to seek his approval for the hiring of nearly all personnel, all to the exclusion of the Company’s
−Removed: management team and stockholder-elected Board of Directors.
−Removed: The Company believes that allowing Mr.

−Removed: These written consents represented a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s
