Cost of Sales of $ 0.1 million include $ 1.7 million of costs incurred in the current quarter . These costs were partially offset by a $ 1.6 million reversal of a reserve for losses on firm purchase commitments that we had recorded in 4Q '20 . We reversed this accrual because the batteries that we acquired under the purchase commitment in Q1 were ultimately used for R & D purposes , and therefore were expensed within R & D expense in the first quarter . + + Research and Development costs of $ 5.1 million were $ 2.2 million higher related to testing UL certifications partially offset by the accrual reversal in cost of sales . Additionally , we invested in development expenses specific to Z3 technology . + General and administrative expenses of $ 16.7 million include a $ 7.8 million expense associated with the acquisition of the remaining 51 % interest in Hi - Power .
