Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES	NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES Leases Our facilities consist of approximately 20,000 square feet in Stanton, California and an additional storage facility in Santa Clarita, California. The Stanton facility is used for some assembly and testing of AuraGen^®/VIPER systems and is rented on a month-to-month basis. The rent for the Stanton facility is $10,000 per month and the storage facility is an additional $5,000 per month, both on a month-to-month basis. Our current Stanton facility is not sufficient to support the expected operations and the Company is evaluating new facility options to be used for limited production, testing, warehousing and engineering, as well as needed office space for support staff. The Company also rents temporary storage space on a month-to-month basis. Commencing in February 2019, the Company began renting approximately 300 square feet of office space in Irvine, California at a cost of $ 2,350 per month on a month-to-month basis. In July 2019, the Company ceased renting this office space. Following the adoption of Topic 842, Leases, as of the start of fiscal year 2020, the Company determined that there was no impact on its Condensed Financial Statements during the nine-month period ended November 30, 2019. The standard requires entities to evaluate all lease transactions including leases previously classified as operating leases, and, if required under Topic 842, a right-to-use asset and a corresponding lease liability may be recorded on the balance sheet in the period in which a lease commences. Joint Venture In March 2017 the Company entered into a joint venture with a Chinese partner to form Jiangsu Shengfeng Mobile Power Technology Co., Ltd. ("Jiangsu Shengfeng") to address the Chinese market. Under the Jiangsu Shengfeng joint venture agreement, Aura owns 49% of the venture and our Chinese partner owns 51%. The Chinese partner is to contribute approximately $9.25 million to the venture –– principally in the form of facilities and equipment as wells as approximately $500,000 in cash. The Company contributed to the venture in the form of $250,000 in cash as well as a limited license to the joint venture to manufacture, sell and service the AuraGen^® products within China. The limited license sold to the Jiangsu Shengfeng joint venture, however, does not permit Jiangsu Shengfeng to manufacture the AuraGen^®rotor; rather, the joint venture is required to purchase all rotor subassemblies as well as certain software elements directly from the Company. Jiangsu Shengfeng's board of directors consists of three members appointed by the Company and three appointed by our Chinese partner; Jiangsu Shengfeng's CEO is appointed by our Chinese partner while its CFO and director for quality assurance and control are appointed by Aura. In addition, Jiangsu Shengfeng is required to purchase a minimum of $1,250,000 of product from the Company supported by letters of credit for distribution until their factory is built, equipment installed, and staff hired and properly trained by Aura personnel. During fiscal 2019, Jiangsu Shengfeng placed a $1,000,000 order with the Company including a $700,000 advance payment. Aura has also committed to supply personnel for nine months at no cost other than to be reimbursed for travel, room and board. This commitment has been fulfilled and Aura is under no further obligation to supply personnel at no cost. The agreement was subject to the approval of the Chinese Government which was received in April 2017. Mr. Song, the majority shareholder of the Chinese partner of the joint venture, invested $2,000,000 in Aura's common shares at a price of $1.40 per share. On November 20, 2019, the Company reached a preliminary agreement with Jiangsu Shengfeng, the Company's Chinese joint venture regarding the return of $700,000 previously advanced to the Company in September 2018 and previously recorded as a customer advance on the balance sheet as of February 28, 2019. The preliminary agreement reached consists of a non-interest-bearing promissory note and a payment plan pursuant to which the $700,000 is paid over a 12-month period beginning March 15, 2020 and February 15, 2021. In the balance sheet as of November 30, 2019, the amount of $700,000 was reclassified to notes payable. Contingencies We are subject to the legal proceedings and claims discussed below as well as certain other legal proceedings and claims that have not been fully resolved and that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. Our management evaluates our exposure to these claims and proceedings individually and in the aggregate and evaluates potential losses on such litigation if the amount of the loss is estimable and the loss is probable. However, the outcome of legal proceedings and claims brought against the Company is subject to significant uncertainty. Although management considers the likelihood of such an outcome to be remote, if one or more of these legal matters were resolved against the Company for amounts in excess of management's expectations, the Company's consolidated financial statements for that reporting period could be materially adversely affected. The Company settled certain matters subsequent to year end that did not individually or in the aggregate have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or operating results. In 2017, the Company's former COO was awarded approximately $238,000 in accrued salary and related charges by the California labor board. The Company believes that this award does not reflect the amount owed which is significantly lower and is exploring all its options and available remedies and is working toward an offer to settle this matter. The Company is presently engaged in a dispute with one of its former directors, Robert Kopple, relating to approximately $10 million and approximately 3.15 million warrants which Mr. Kopple claims to be owed to him and his affiliates by the Company. In July 2017, Mr. Kopple filed suit against the Company as well as against current director Mr. Diaz-Verson and former directors Mr. Breslow and Mr. Howsmon, as well as Mr. Gagerman, the former CEO (not a director) in connection with these allegations. In 2018, the Court sustained demurrers by Mr. Diaz-Verson, Mr. Breslow, Mr. Howsmon and Mr. Gagerman and as a result of these successful demurrers, all four of these defendants have been dismissed from the suit. While the Company believes that it has certain valid defenses in these matters, the Company is currently in settlement discussions with Mr. Kopple. In April 2018, the Company filed suit against its former counsel, Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP alleging various acts of malpractice and breach of fiduciary duty committed by the firm in connection with its representation of Aura. In June 2018, Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP filed a cross-complaint against the Company claiming in excess of $400,000 in allegedly unpaid legal fees. In January 2019, the Company reached a settlement with Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP, pursuant to which, among other things, Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP agreed to dismiss its cross-complaint and waive all unpaid legal fees. The action and the cross-complaint were both subsequently dismissed. In February 2018, the Company failed to issue shares of stock contractually owed to BetterSea, LLC. On August 15, 2018, 7,364,735 restricted shares were issued in fulfillment of this contractual obligation based on the then-outstanding closing quote of the stock. The issuance of the shares was previously reported by the Company. The Company also paid $20,000 in legal fees related to legal expense associated with the Company's delays in the issuance of the stock. In May 2018, Shelley Scholnick dba JB Transporters brought suit against the Company claiming ongoing fees in excess of $52,000 owed for the storage of the Company's property. Notably, in June 2017, the Company had brought suit against J.B. Moving & Delivery, a business operated and controlled by a relative of Scholnick, Jacob Binstok, for damages suffered by the Company as a result of the defendant's improper storage of the Company's property and improper refusal to return such property. In 2018, the Company successfully received a judgment against J.B. Moving & Delivery in the amount of approximately $114,000. The Company disputes that any amount is now owed to Scholnick. On March 26, 2019, various stockholders of the Company controlling a combined total of more than 27.5 million shares delivered a signed written consent to the Company removing Ronald Buschur as a member of the Company's Board and electing Cipora Lavut as a director of the Company. On March 27, 2019, those same stockholders delivered a further signed written consent to the Company removing William Anderson and Si Ryong Yu as members of the Company's Board and electing Robert Lempert and David Mann as directors of the Company. These written consents represented a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock as of March 26, 2019 and March 27, 2019, respectively. Because of Aura's refusal to recognize the legal effectiveness of the consents, on April 8, 2019 the stockholders filed suit in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware pursuant to Section 225 of the Delaware General Corporations Law, seeking an order confirming the validity of the consents and declaring that Aura's Board consists of Ms. Lavut, Mr. Mann, Mr. Lempert, Mr. Douglas and Mr. Diaz-Versón, Jr. On July 8, 2019 the Court of Chancery entered final judgment in favor of the stockholder plaintiffs, confirming that (a) Ronald Buschur, Si Ryong Yu and William Anderson had been validly removed by the holders of a majority of the Company's outstanding stock acting by written consent (b) Ms. Lavut, Mr. Mann and Mr. Lempert had been validly elected by the holders of a majority of the Company's outstanding stock acting by written consent, and (c) the Company's Board of Directors validly consists of Cipora Lavut, David Mann, Robert Lempert, Gary Douglas and Salvador Diaz-Versón, Jr.
