SEYCHELLE ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED (UNAUDITED) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
NOTE 1:    CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Seychelle Environmental Technologies, Inc., and subsidiary (the “Company”) without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at May 31, 2012, and for all periods presented herein, have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s  annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 29, 2012.  The results of operations for the periods ended May 31, 2012 and 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal years.

The summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the February 29, 2012 consolidated financials included in the 10-K filed on May 29, 2012.

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 amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This ASU represents the converged guidance of the FASB and the IASB (the Boards) on fair value measurement and results in common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, including a consistent meaning of the term “fair value.”

In September 2011, the FASB issued guidance on ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, for testing goodwill for impairment. The new guidance provides a company the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the company’s assessment determines that this is the case, it is required to perform the currently prescribed two-step goodwill impairment test to identify potential goodwill impairment and measure the amount of goodwill impairment to be recognized for that reporting unit, if any. If the company determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required.
 
For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted this guidance effective March 1, 2012.  The impact of the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2:    BASIC INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period presented.  Diluted income (loss) per share is determined using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents.  In periods when losses are reported, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.  The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and warrants reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method.

The denominator for diluted loss per share for the period ended May 31, 2012 did not include warrants as it would have been anti-dilutive.  The denominator for diluted income per share for the period ended May 31, 2011 is adjusted to include the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents, consisting of warrants totaling 3,032,672.

NOTE 3:   COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS
 
Common Stock
During the quarter ended May 31, 2012, the Company did not issue any shares of common stock.  During the quarter ended May 31, 2011, the Company issued 50,000 shares of restricted common stock to a consultant for services rendered, valued at $15,500 based on the estimated fair value of the common stock on the date of the grant.
 
Contributed Executive Services
Historically, the President of the Company had a salary agreement which resulted in the Company recording expense of $10,000 annually for the contractual value of his services.  This agreement was terminated on May 15, 2012.
 
 
Warrants
The Company has determined the estimated value of warrants granted using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The amount of the expense charged to operations for warrants was $88,803 for the three months ended May 31, 2012 and $88,804 for the three months ended May 31, 2011.  All outstanding warrants are expected to be vested in December 2015.

As of May 31, 2012, the Company had a line of credit agreement totaling $500,000.  The line of credit bears interest at the lending institution’s index rate (3.25% as of May 31, 2012) plus 0.75% and is due June 30, 2013.  As of May 31, 2012, the Company had not borrowed against the line of credit.  The line of credit agreement does not include any limitations on borrowings or any restrictive debt covenants.

NOTE 6:    CONCENTRATIONS

Sales to four customers accounted for 47% of sales for the three month period ended May 31, 2012.  Accounts receivable from these four customers amounted to $48,686 at May 31, 2012.  For the three month period ended May 31, 2011, sales to two customers accounted for 61% of total sales and 68% of accounts receivable.

NOTE 7:    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During each of the three month periods ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, payments totaling $25,500 were made to TAM Irrevocable Trust for consulting services, in which Cari Beck, is a trustee as well as the daughter of the Company’s President.  
 

NOTE 8:  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the case titled Letty Garcia v. Carl Palmer; Seychelle Environmental Technologies, Inc., et, al., brought in the Superior Court for the State of California, San Diego County District, the court found against the Company in May, 2012 for approximately $157,000.  This amount was reflected in our February 29, 2012 consolidated financial statements. The Company has evaluated the ruling and has appealed the verdict.
 
There is an additional unrelated lawsuit, Patricia Edwards v Seychelle Environmental Technologies, Inc., brought in the Superior Court for the State of California, Orange County District, from a former employee of the Company regarding a claim of $280,000 for wrongful termination based on discrimination.  The Company is vigorously contesting the claim.  In the opinion of management, based in part upon consultation with outside counsel, it is too early to make an opinion as to whether we will prevail.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the operating results, financial condition and liquidity and cash flows of Seychelle Environmental Technologies, Inc., and subsidiary (the “Company”) for the three month periods ended May 31, 2012 and 2011. The discussion and analysis that follows should be read together with the consolidated financial statements of Seychelle Environmental Technologies, Inc. and the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012.  Except for historical information, the matters discussed in this section are forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and are based upon judgments concerning various factors that are beyond the Company’s control.
 
Forward-Looking Statements
 
Certain statements contained herein are “forward-looking” statements.  Forward-looking statements include statements which are predictive in nature; which depend upon or refer to future events or conditions; or which include words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “estimates”, or variations or negatives thereof or by similar or comparable words or phrases. In addition, any statement concerning future financial performance, ongoing business strategies or prospects, and possible future Company actions that may be provided by management are also forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and projections about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions about the Company; and economic and market factors in the countries in which the Company does business, among other things. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, and the Company has no specific intentions to update these statements. Actual events and results may differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in forward-looking statements due to a number of factors including, among others:
 
 
(1)
the portable water filtration industry is in a state of rapid technological change, which can render the Company’s products obsolete or unmarketable;
 
 
(2)
any failure by the Company to anticipate or respond to technological developments or changes in industry standards or customer requirements, or any significant delays in product development or introduction, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition;

Description of the Business
 
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 23, 1998 as a change of domicile to Royal Net, Inc., a Utah corporation that was originally incorporated on January 24, 1986. Royal Net, Inc. changed its state of domicile to Nevada and its name to Seychelle Environmental Technologies, Inc. effective in January 1998.
 
On January 30, 1998, we entered into an Exchange Agreement with Seychelle Water Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (SWT), whereby we exchanged our issued and outstanding capital shares with the shareholders of SWT on a one share for one share basis. We became the parent company and SWT became a wholly owned subsidiary. SWT had been formed in 1997 to market water filtration systems of Aqua Vision International.
 
Our Company is presently comprised of Seychelle Environmental Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation, with one wholly-owned subsidiary, Seychelle Water Technologies, Inc., also a Nevada corporation (collectively, the Company or Seychelle). We use the trade name "Seychelle Water Filtration Products, Inc." in our commercial operations.

Sales. The decrease in sales is primarily due to lower sales from  two customers who accounted for 61% of sales in the three-month period ended May 31, 2011, who collectively accounted for $876,000 of the decrease in sales while they only accounted for 25% of sales, or $239,800 in the three-month period ended May 31, 2012.  The Company experienced a decrease in sales across many product lines.   Sales of pitchers for the three-month period ended May 31, 2012 decreased by $515,000 or 81% from the comparable period in the prior year.  This decrease, as well as the overall decrease in sales between the two periods, is largely attributable to lower sales to the top two customers in the period ended May 31, 2012.   We anticipate pitcher sales to increase once again in the near future.  A new customer has shown interest in purchasing the remaining stock in inventory once we have additional testing approved.   In addition, approximately 32,524 plastic bottles were sold during the period ended May 31, 2012 at an average price of $7.51 per bottle compared to the previous year in which 35,229 bottles were sold during the three-month period ended May 31, 2011 at an average price of $9.32 per bottle.  The sales price per unit was reduced by management in order to consummate a few significant orders of plastic bottles, which reduced the overall average price.  Without these individually significant transactions, the average price per bottle actually increased to $9.95 per bottle for the remainder of the plastic bottle sales.  The decrease in price for these significant orders was necessary to effect the sales.   The Company expects these sales to rebound in the second quarter.  Specifically, the Company has already built an inventory of 9,000 units of the RAD filter bottles that are ready for shipment during the second quarter and the Company anticipates a significant order from a Japanese customer for the RAD filter bottles.
 
The sales by product for the period ended May 31, 2012 were $124,000 in pitchers, $244,000 in plastic bottles, $167,000 in mission packs, $52,000 in stainless steel bottles, $23,000 in straw, $2,000 in shower filters, $82,000 in replacement filters, $15,000 in countertop units, $53,000 in pumps, and the remainder in other products including canteens, water bags, inline and aqua mist.  The sales by products for the three-month period ended May 31, 2011 were $328,000 in plastic bottles, $171,000 in mission packs, $639,000 in pitchers, $144,000 in stainless steel bottles, $122,000 in replacement filters, $92,000 in straw, $60,000 in shower filter, $43,000 in countertop units, $34,000 in pumps, and the remainder in other products in the product line including canteens, water bags, inline filters, and aqua mist.

Cost of sales and gross profit percentage. A portion of the decrease in cost of sales is a direct result of sales decreasing during the three-month period ended May 31, 2012.  As a percentage of sales, the gross profit margin during the three months ended May 31, 2012 decreased to 34% from 45% for the three months ended May 31, 2011.  This is largely due to the sales price concessions as discussed above, production being centered on a more diverse product mix and an increase in raw material costs.  There was an increase due to additional media being purchased to add to the filter in order to increase its effectiveness.  Media, packaging, and smaller components of the products are automatically expensed when purchased due to the difficulty of quantifying their amount at inventory.  The product mix was a significant factor in the margin decline as many of the higher cost, lower margin inventory items were sold while inventory built up during the quarter were largely in lower cost, higher margin products, such as the radiological filter and the PH filter, in anticipation of future sales.  The Company expects the margin percentages to rebound as these products are ultimately sold in the second quarter, as well as the absence of the price concessions.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. These expenses decreased by 1% during the period ended May 31, 2012 compared to the same period ended in the prior year.  The decrease was largely a direct result of the decrease in sales for which sales people are paid commissions. Commission expenses comprised 4% of sales for 2012 compared to 6% of sales for 2011 resulting in a decrease of $70,000.  Merchant fees decreased by approximately $10,000 as a direct result of sales decreasing.  These decreases were partially offset by a $26,000 increase in accounting fees due to an increase in auditing fees  including an annual filing and re-audit billings during the period ended May 31, 2012  which was due to a change in auditors during this period.  There was also a $44,000 increase in legal expenses due to pending lawsuits.  

Depreciation and amortization expense.  Depreciation and amortization expense was relatively flat from period to period, but the slight increase is due to additional tooling being purchased during the period ended May 31, 2012 and the nine-months preceding.

Income tax expense.  The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $71,287 due to the pretax loss of approximately $169,000 during the three-month period ended May 31, 2012.  This compares to income tax expense of approximately $170,000 on pretax income of $320,000 in the comparable period in the prior year.
 
Net Income (Loss). Net loss for the three-month period ended May 31, 2012 was $97,441 compared to net income of $149,315 for the three-month period ended May 31, 2011.  This was primarily due to a decrease of approximately $493,000 in gross profit during the three-month period ended May 31, 2012 due to 1) lower margin sales, 2) delay of orders for new higher margin products due to administrative issues with the new customers, and 3) price concessions on selected lower margin plastic bottles.  We plan to focus on the main factors affecting our bottom line to improve the Company’s profitability in the upcoming periods. With our new production space in an adjacent building, this has allowed for the inventory build-up and ultimately more production space as well.  Another area we are continuing to consider in reducing the cost of goods and improving gross margins is the out-sourcing of some of our faster moving products to a high volume assembler/fulfillment vendor. Both the new production space and the out-sourcing should have a direct effect on the bottom line and make the move to a more scaleable higher volume business model feasible.   Finally, new products previously announced, the radiological filter that removes 100% of major nuclear contaminants in drinking water, and the PH filter increasing the PH level of water filtered through our products to 9.5%, will have higher margins and are ready for shipment in the second quarter. We anticipate that these products will have a positive impact on both sales and net income going forward.
 
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities. During the three-month period ended May 31, 2012, cash used in operating activities was $60,324.  This was primarily due to the net loss reported for the period after adding noncash expenses for stock based compensation and depreciation and amortization back to the reported net loss, the net of which was cash outflow of approximately $63,000,  comprised primarily of decreases resulting from the pay down of payables of $105,841 and the increase in accounts receivable of $65,664, despite decreased sales, offset by the usage of inventories of $139,823.
 
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities. During the three-month period ended May 31, 2012, the increase in cash used by investing activities was primarily due to the sale of a Company vehicle resulting in proceeds of $12,000 in the period ended May 31, 2012, offset by the purchase of $3,988 of property and equipment, compared to purchases of property and equipment of $12,021 during the same time period in the prior fiscal year.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities. The decrease in cash used in financing activities during the three month period ended May 31, 2012 was largely due to repayments totaling $1,053 on capital lease obligations compared to $5,000 in the time period of 2011.

As of May 31, 2012, the Company had approximately $1,096,000 in cash and approximately $500,000 available to borrow under its line of credit. The line of credit does not contain any limitations on borrowing or any restrictive debt covenants. The Company believes it has liquidity to meet its operating needs through the balance of fiscal 2013.

 Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
 
The Company believes that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of its most recent fiscal 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K have the greatest potential impact on its consolidated financial statements, so it considers these to be its critical accounting policies. Because of the uncertainty inherent in these matters, actual results could differ from the estimates the Company uses in applying the critical accounting policies. Certain of these critical accounting policies affect working capital account balances, including the policies for inventory reserves and stock-based compensation. These policies require that the Company make estimates in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements as of a given date.
 
Within the context of these critical accounting policies, the Company is not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in materially different amounts being reported.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a -15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Exchange Act), our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer each have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the applicable time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms.
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 240.13a-15 or Rule 240.15d-15 of this chapter that occurred during our most recent fiscal three months that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

This report does not include an attestation report by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting as we are not subject to this requirement.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
In the case titled Letty Garcia v. Carl Palmer; Seychelle Environmental Technologies, Inc., et, al., brought in the Superior Court for the State of California, San Diego County District, the court found against the Company in May, 2012 for approximately $157,000.  This amount was reflected in our February 29, 2012 consolidated financial statements. The Company has evaluated the ruling and has appealed the verdict.
 
There is an additional unrelated lawsuit, Patricia Edwards v Seychelle Environmental Technologies, Inc., brought in the Superior Court for the State of California, Orange County District, from a former employee of the Company regarding a claim of $280,000 for wrongful termination based on discrimination.  The Company is vigorously contesting the claim.  In the opinion of management, based in part upon consultation with outside counsel, it is too early to make an opinion as to whether we will  prevail.
 
Otherwise, as of May 31, 2012, we know of no other legal proceedings pending or threatened, or judgments entered against the Company or any of our directors or officers in their capacity as such.
