AURA SYSTEMS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

November 30, 2009

(Unaudited)

1) Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aura Systems, Inc. and subsidiaries ("the Company"). All inter-company balances and inter-company transactions have been eliminated.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) and reclassifications for comparability necessary to present fairly the financial position of Aura Systems, Inc. and subsidiaries at November 30, 2009 and the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2009 and 2008.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aura and subsidiary, Aura Realty, Inc. Investments in affiliated companies are accounted for by the equity or cost method, as appropriate. Significant inter-company amounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Comprehensive Income

We utilize Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130 (ASC 220) , "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources. Examples of items to be included in comprehensive income, which are excluded from net income, include foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities. Comprehensive income is not presented in our financial statements since we did not have any of the items of comprehensive income in any period presented.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff accounting bulletin (SAB) 104(ASC 605). 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 customer’s 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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due from customers. We have provided for an allowance for doubtful accounts, which management believes to be sufficient to account for all un-collectible amounts. Allowance for doubtful debts on un-collectible amounts as of November 30, 2009 and February 28, 2009, amounted to $60,000.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Due to continuing lower than projected sales, we are holding inventories in excess of what we expect to sell in the next fiscal year.

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:

Buildings	40 years
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. Amortization expense on assets acquired under capital leases is included with depreciation and amortization expense on owned assets.

Maintenance and minor replacements are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses on disposals are included in the results of operations.

Income Taxes

We utilize SFAS No. 109(ASC 740), "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, 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 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.

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.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the financial statements, during the nine month periods ended November 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred losses of $13,528,088 and $7,384,720, respectively and had negative cash flows from operating activities of $5,147,305 and $5,273,043, respectively, during the nine month periods ended November 30, 2009 and 2008.

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

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. 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.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161 (ASC 815), Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The new standard also improves transparency about the location and amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s financial statements; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.

In May of 2008, FASB issued SFASB No.162 (ASC 105), “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The pronouncement mandates the GAAP hierarchy reside in the accounting literature as opposed to the audit literature. This has the practical impact of elevating FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts in the GAAP hierarchy. This pronouncement will become effective 60 days following SEC approval. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R) (ASC 805), “Business Combinations”. This Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This Statement also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) (ASC 805), will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after Company’s fiscal year beginning March 1, 2010. While the Company has not yet evaluated this statement for the impact, if any, that SFAS No. 141(R) (ASC 805), will have on its consolidated financial statements, the Company will be required to expense costs related to any acquisitions after February 28, 2010.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165(ASC 855), "Subsequent Events" . SFAS 165(ASC 855) sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. SFAS 165 (ASC 855) will be effective for interim or annual period ending after June 15, 2009 and will be applied prospectively. The Company will adopt the requirements of this pronouncement for the quarter ended November 30, 2009. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS 165 (ASC 855) will have an impact on its consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 168(ASC 105), The FASB Accounting Standard Codification and the Heirarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (the Codification) as a single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) to be launched July 1, 2009. The Codification does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification is effective for the Company in the interim period ending September 30, 2009, and at that time all references made to U.S. GAAP will use the new Codification numbering system prescribed by the FASB. However, as the Codification is not intended to change existing GAAP, it is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s financial position or cash flows.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2008 financial statements to conform to the 2009 presentation.

3) Inventories

Inventories, stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or market, consist of the following:

	November 30, 2009			February 28, 2009

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

We do not expect to realize all of our inventories within the 12-month period ending November 30, 2010. Because of this, we have assessed the net realize-ability of these assets, the proper classification of the inventory, and the potential obsolescence of inventory. The net inventories as of November 30 and February 28, 2009, which are not expected to be realized within a 12-month period, have been reclassified as long term. We have also recorded a reserve for obsolescence of $2,390,088 and $2,271,535 at November 30 and February 28, 2009.

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 $26,211 on the notes during the nine months ended November 30, 2009.

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 will be amortized over the term of the note and charged to interest expense. During the nine month period ended November 30, 2009 $75,822 was expensed.

Future maturities of notes payable at November 30, 2009 are as follows:

Overview

We design, assemble and sell the AuraGen®, our patented mobile power generator that uses 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. 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. 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. 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 - if not 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.

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. 104, "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. Due to continuing lower than projected sales, 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 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, 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 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.

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 November 30, 2009 compared to three months ended November 30, 2008

Net revenues for the three months ended November 30, 2009 (the “Third Quarter FY2010”) increased $95,405 to $1,160,577 from $1,065,172 in the three months ended November 30, 2008 (the “Third Quarter FY2009”), an increase of 9%.

Cost of goods increased $70,311 (14%) to $563,148 in the Third Quarter FY2010 from $492,837 in the Third Quarter FY2009. In the prior year period, there was a charge of $270,000 for inventory items that were scrapped as obsolete. Excluding this charge, cost of goods in the prior year would have been $222,837 resulting in a current year increase in cost of goods of $340,311, or 152%.

Engineering, research and development expenses increased $5,303 (1%) to $562,083 in the Third Quarter FY2010 from $556,779 in the Third Quarter FY 2009. We believe these expenses should remain relatively stable for the near future based on the projects the Company currently is working on.

Selling, general and administrative expense decreased $211,642 (10%) to $1,828,847 in the Third Quarter FY2010 from $2,040,489 in the Third Quarter FY2009. These expenses have decreased as we have reduced personnel in this area and reduced the use of outside personnel, and made a concerted effort to control other costs.

Stock option compensation expense increased $89,151over the prior year period as a result of the non-cash charges for the issuance of employee stock options in the current year period, which was determined utilizing the Black Scholes method assuming a volatility of the stock of 107%, term of five years and a discount of 2.625%. During the second quarter of 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 a grant date of June 18, 2009 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.

Net interest expense in the Third Quarter FY2010 decreased $205,274 (49%) to $217,032 from $422,306 in the Third Quarter FY2009. The decrease is due to the inclusion in the prior year of $368,900 of interest expense for the beneficial conversion of convertible notes, partially offset by increased interest expense associate with our higher levels of debt, primarily the 10% demand note due to one of our board members, which has increased from $1.3 million in the prior year period to $4.4 million in the current year period.

Our net loss for the Third Quarter FY2010 decreased $347,327 to $2,173,432 from $2,520,759 in the Third Quarter FY2009, due to the higher gross profit recorded as a result of higher sales levels, the reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses, and the reduction in the third quarter interest charges.

Nine months FY 2010 compared to Nine months FY 2009

Net revenues for the nine months ended November 30, 2009 (the “Nine Months FY2010”) increased $534,226 to $2,425,383, from $1,891,157 in the nine months ended November 30, 2008 (the “Nine Months FY2009”), an increase of 28%. The increase is primarily due to the current year sales to a single customer in the refrigeration trucking industry. Sales in this industry did not begin until the second quarter of fiscal 2009. These sales are expected to continue to increase as we expand our business in the refrigeration trucking industry.

Cost of goods increased $107,676 to $1,384,184 in the Nine Months FY2010, from $1,276,508 in the Nine Months FY2009, an increase of 8%. In the prior year period, there was a charge of $270,000 for inventory items that were scrapped as obsolete. Excluding this charge, cost of goods in the prior year would have been $1,006,508 resulting in a current year increase in cost of goods of $377,676, or 37%.

Engineering, research and development expenses increased $131,463 (9%) to $1,626,357 in the Nine Months FY2010 from $1,494,894 in the Nine Months FY2009. These expenses have increased primarily as a result of an increase in personnel in the engineering area, that occurred in last years second and third quarter, as we began to work to expand the applications of the AuraGen.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $258,840 (4%) to $5,560,397 in the Nine Months FY2010 from $5,819,237 in the Nine Months FY2009. We do not expect these expenses to increase significantly in the near future, as we feel we have sufficient resources in this area for our anticipated near term growth projections.

Stock option compensation expense increased $6,526,505 over the prior year period as a result of the non-cash charges for the issuance of employee stock options in the current year period, which was determined utilizing the Black Scholes method assuming a volatility of the stock of 107%, term of five years and a discount of 2.625%.

Net interest expense in the nine Months FY2010 increased $4,937 (1%) to $553,265 from $548,328 in the Nine Months FY2009. The increase is attributable to the increased level of debt we currently have, primarily the 10% demand note from a member of our Board of Directors, which has increased from $1,800,000 at February 28, 2009, to $4,400,000 at November 30, 2009. The prior year also included a charge of $368,900 related to the beneficial conversion of convertible notes payable.

Other income (expense) in the current period is net expense of $21,850 compared to income of $144,003 in the prior year period. The prior year income was primarily a result of a favorable purchase of inventory items that a vendor had manufactured without an order from us. This predated our bankruptcy filing and the vendor allowed us to purchase the items for approximately 6% of the actual cost of the goods.

Our net loss for the Nine Months FY2010 increased $6,143,368 to $13,528,088 from $7,384,720 in the Nine Months FY2009 primarily as a result of the non-cash charge for the amortization of expenses associated with the employee stock option plan in the current year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had cash of approximately $21,000 and $317,000 at November 30, 2009, and February 28, 2009, respectively. We had a working capital deficit at November 30, 2009, and February 28, 2009 of $(6,509,009) and $(2,164,606), respectively. At November 30, 2009, we had accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, of $608,542 compared to $319,249 at February 28, 2009.

Net cash used in operations for the nine months ended November 30, 2009, was $(5,147,305), a decrease of approximately $125,000 from the comparable nine months in the prior fiscal year. Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended November 30, 2009, was $5,169,424, resulting primarily from proceeds from notes payable of approximately $3.4 million, of which $2,600,000 was from a member of our Board, along with proceeds from the exercise of outstanding warrants and sales of Common Stock totaling approximately $1,760,000.

We paid $318,151 for acquisitions of property and equipment, which is primarily the cost of the build-out of our new facility, in the nine months FY2010 compared to acquisitions of property and equipment totaling $119,211 in the nine months FY2009.

Accrued expenses and accounts payable at November 30, 2009, increased approximately $1,250,000 from the February 28, 2009 balance. The increase is primarily due to an increase in accrued payroll and payroll related expenses resulting from the deferral of salaries by several members of senior management, until such time as cash flow allows these amounts to be paid, and an increase in accrued interest.

Net proceeds from the issuance of debt totaled $3,407,500 in the nine months FY 2010, compared with net proceeds of $1,063,863 in the nine months FY 2009. Included in the debt proceeds in the nine months FY2010 was a total of $2,600,000 from a member of our Board. As of January 11, 2009, the total amount of the 10% demand note owing this board member is $4,650,000. The Company also entered into six convertible notes 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 had a deficit in shareholders’ equity at November 30, 2009 of $4,009,490, compared to stockholders’ equity of $234,816 at February 28, 2009. The deficit is attributable to the nine months FY 2010 loss of $13,528,008, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of common stock and the exercise of warrants of approximately $1,760,000, and the increase in paid in capital of approximately $6.8 million from the expense related to the employee stock options.

The Company anticipates the need for approximately $7.5 million to fund our operations for the upcoming twelve months, and is expecting to raise this funding through a private placement of common stock we are currently engaged in. The offering is for units consisting of one share of common stock, and a warrant to purchase one-half share of common stock, with a price of $0.75 per unit. The warrants are five year warrants and are exercisable at a price of $1.25 per share for the first twelve months, $1.50 per share for the second twelve months, and $2.00 per share for the remaining life of the warrant.

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. Since fiscal 2002 we were forced to scale back operations due to inadequate working capital and 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 indebtedness. We have no bank line of credit and require additional debt or equity financing to fund ongoing operations. We commenced a private placement for up to $7.5 million of common stock in September, 2009, of which $204,000 of subscriptions have been received as of October 14, 2009. The company intends to use the proceeds from this offering for general working capital purposes and the repayment of a portion of its short-term debt obligations. We anticipate that the $7.5 million would be sufficient to implement our current business plan. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete this private placement or that additional financing will be available at the times or in the amounts required to fund our working capital needs or to repay outstanding indebtedness as it comes due. 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.
