All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Reclassification Certain amounts in the prior period Consolidated Balance Sheet have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period. Certain amounts in the prior periods presented have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net income (loss). Revenue Recognition The Company determines the amount of revenue it recognizes associated with the transfer of each product or service. For sale of products or delivery of monitoring services to all customers, each transaction is evaluated to determine whether there is approval and commitment from both the Company and the customer for the transaction; whether the rights of each party are specifically identified; whether the transaction has commercial substance; whether collectability from the customer is probable at the inception of the contract and whether the transaction amount is defined. If a transaction to sell products or provide monitoring services meets all of the above criteria, revenue is recognized for the sales of product at the time of shipment or for monitoring services at the completion of the month in which monitoring services are provided. The Company incurs commissions associated with the sales of products, which are accrued and expensed at the time the product is shipped. These amounts are recorded within general, administration and sales expense. The Company also incurs costs related to shipping and handling of its products, the costs of which are expensed as incurred as a component of cost of sales. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers, which are recognized at the time of shipment as a component of net revenues, were $21,066 and $24,242 for the nine months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, respectively. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The Company generally invests its excess cash in money market funds. The Company’s investment policy also allows for cash to be invested in investment grade highly liquid securities, and the Company considers securities that are highly liquid, readily convertible into cash and have original maturities of less than three months when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash consists of demand deposits in large financial institutions and money market funds. At times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. Restricted cash consists of an amount held in escrow related to the sale of the balancer business segment, as described in Note 8. Once certain events are complete, the restrictions on this cash payment will be released.

Management performs various analyses to evaluate accounts receivable balances to ensure recorded amounts reflect estimated net realizable value. This review includes using accounts receivable agings, other operating trends and relevant business conditions, including general economic factors, as they relate to each of the Company’s domestic and international customers. In the event there is doubt about whether a customer account is collectible, a reserve is provided. If these analyses lead management to the conclusion that a customer account is uncollectible, the balance will be directly charged to bad debt expense. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $99,442 and $36,826 as of February 29, 2020 and May 31, 2019, respectively. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost determined on the average cost basis. Costs included in inventories consist of materials, labor and manufacturing overhead, which are related to the purchase or production of inventories. Write-downs, when required, are made to reduce excess inventories to their net realizable values. Such estimates are based on assumptions regarding future demand and market conditions. If actual conditions become less favorable than the assumptions used, an additional inventory write-down may be required.
