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 August 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 August 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 these 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 income per share for the three month period ended August 31, 2012 is adjusted to include the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents, consisting of warrants totaling 3,597,221.  The denominator for diluted loss per share for the six month period ended August 31, 2012 did not include warrants as they would have been anti-dilutive.  The denominator for diluted income per share for the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2011 is adjusted to include the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents, consisting of warrants totaling 3,078,989 and 2,971,844, respectively.

NOTE 3:   COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS
 
Common Stock
During the six-month period ended August 31, 2012, the Company did not issue any shares of common stock.  During the six-month period ended August 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, which is included in stock –based compensation.
 
Contributed Executive Services
Historically, the President of the Company had a salary arrangement which resulted in the Company recording expense of $10,000 annually for the contractual value of his services.  Although the Company had achieved profitable operations, he continued to not accept his salary. Accordingly, the Company recorded $2,500 and $5,000, the contractual value of these services, for the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2011, respectively, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses and additional paid -in capital.  This agreement was terminated on May 15, 2012.
 
Warrants
In previous years, the Company had issued warrants and determined the estimated value of warrants granted using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The amount of the expense charged to operations for these warrants was $88,803 and $177,608 for the three and six months ended August 31, 2012 and $88,804 and $177,609 for the three and six months ended August 31, 2011.  All outstanding warrants are expected to be vested in December 2015.

Sales. Our customer concentration is constantly changing, which contributes toward much of the fluctuation in sales.  The current period decrease in sales is primarily due to sales to two customers who accounted for approximately $0.8 million  of the decrease, accounting for 12% of revenues in the three-month period ended August 31, 2012 compared to 65% in the same period ended August 31, 2011.   The decrease in sales is also the net result of a shift in our product mix.  Significant decreases were experienced within a few product lines: missionary packs (which decreased to $-nil- in the current quarter as compared to $284,000 in sales for the comparable period), pitchers (to $157,000 from $413,000), and bottles (to $90,000 from $364,000). 

Cost of sales and gross profit percentage. The decrease in cost of sales is largely a direct result of the 52% decrease in sales for the three-month period ended August 31, 2012 from the comparable period in the prior year. The increase in gross profit  from 50% to 53% was due to selling higher gross profit products during the period even though the  cost of revenues decreased by 55% from period to period.   Our profit margin will fluctuate from time to time based on the product mix within sales.   We are continuing to pursue efficiencies in the production process and are negotiating for better filter prices and believe that gross margins will improve further if we are successful in these plans and will be able to reduce the impact of the lower margin products will have on the product mix.

Selling, general and administrative  expenses.  These expenses decreased by approximately $119,000, or 24%, during the three months ended August 31, 2012 compared to the same period ended in the prior year.   Selling expenses represented approximately 2.7% and 6.2% of sales for the three months ended August 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.   The decrease in selling expenses as a percentage of sales is largely a direct result of the decrease in commissionable sales to two significant customers.  We expect sales commissions to be less than 6% of sales for the remainder of fiscal year 2013.  General and administrative expenses decreased approximately $44,000 when compared to the comparable period in the prior year.  Significant components of the decrease are gift and bonus expense to reward performance in fiscal 2012 (to $7,000 for fiscal 2013 compared to $40,900 for fiscal 2012), merchant fee expense (to $5,200 compared to $10,700), printing expense (to $500 compared to $19,100, outside services (to $12,800 compared to $28,600), and legal expense ($20,400 compared to $3,700). We do not expect an increase in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales for the remainder of fiscal 2013.
 
Depreciation and amortization expense.  The increase in depreciation and amortization expense is due to molds being purchased over the last twelve months to create additional products to introduce to the market.

Income tax expense.  Income tax expense decreased due to lower sales and profitability during the current fiscal year as compared to the comparable prior year period.
 
Net Income. Net income for the three-month period ended August 31, 2012 was $3,736 compared to net income of $188,300 for the three-month period ended August 31, 2011.  This was primarily due to a significant decrease in sales in the current year compared to the same period of the prior year.  This quarter’s performance and return to profitability represented a turnaround from poor results in the first quarter of fiscal year, period ended May 31, 2012 which reported a net loss of $97,441.  This change in direction, was due primarily to selling higher gross margin products, although with lower overall gross profits.  However, we continued to experience:  1) delay of orders for new higher margin products due to administrative issues with new customers in Japan and in several Mid East countries, and  2) a build-up of inventory for anticipated sales of the new RAD filter bottle and the new pH filter bottle now expected to begin in the third quarter, period ending November 30, 2012.   The net income should be improved when larger sales orders begin coming in for the higher margin volume products and as noted previously, and out-sourced production of sizable orders to a high volume assembler/fulfillment vendor we have established a relationship with. In addition we have two new products ready for the market: a 20 oz. sports bottle and a flat flask in-filter hydration unit that can be used either as a straw or attached to a backpack.   We have signed agreements for the above mentioned products.  We also have large distributors and representatives lined up regarding potential sales in Mexico and major retailers in  the United States and feel that this will favorably impact our financials, not only  in the third and fourth quarters this fiscal year, but into fiscal 2014.

Sales. Our customer concentration is constantly changing, which contributes toward much of the fluctuation in sales.  The current period decrease in sales is largely due to sales to two customers who accounted for approximately $1.7 million  of the decrease, accounting for 20% of revenues in the six-month period ended August 31, 2012 compared to 62% in the same period ended August 31, 2011.  This was partially offset by fluctuation of other customers.    The decrease in sales is also the net result of a shift in our product mix.  Significant changes were experienced within a few product lines: missionary packs (which decreased to $168,000 in the current period as compared to $456,000 in sales for the comparable prior year period), pitchers (which decreased to $281,000 from $1,052,000), and bottles (which decreased to $334,000 from $671,000).  The decrease in mission packs, pitchers, and bottle sales is due to sales fluctuations to one of the Company’s customers.

Cost of sales and gross profit percentage. The decrease in cost of sales is largely a direct result of the 51% decrease in sales for the six-month period ended August 31, 2012 from the comparable period in the prior year.  Cost of sales decreased by 47% from period to period by comparison, resulting in a decrease in gross profit margin to 43% from 47%.  Our profit margin will fluctuate from time to time based on the product mix within sales.   As mentioned in the sales discussion, a large reason for the decrease in sales was a $771,000 decrease in sales of pitchers compared to the same period in the prior year, compared to a $288,000 decreases in sales of missionary packs.  As noted in the three- month period ended August 31, 2012, discussion of gross margins we  are continuing to pursue efficiencies in the production process and are negotiating for better filter prices and believe that gross margins will improve further if we are successful in these plans.  
 
Selling, general and administrative  expenses.  These expenses decreased by approximately $122,000, or 13%, during the six months ended August 31, 2012 compared to the same period ended in the prior year.  Selling expenses decreased approximately $145,000, or 73%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2012.  This is due to the decrease in commissionable sales.  The expenses represented approximately 3.4% and 6.1% of sales for the six months ended August 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.   Not all sales are commissionable, and the decrease in selling expenses as a percentage of sales is largely a direct result of the decrease in commissionable sales to two significant customers.  We expect sales commissions to be less than 6% of sales for the remainder of fiscal year 2013.  General and administrative expenses increased approximately $23,000 when compared to the comparable period in the prior year.  Significant components of the increase are accounting fees (to $65,000 in fiscal 2013 compared to $45,000 for fiscal 2012. The increase in accounting fees is due to a re-audit being required after changing auditors during the first quarter of the current fiscal year along with an increase in contracted fees throughout the year.
   
Depreciation and amortization expense.  The increase in depreciation and amortization expense is due to molds being purchased over the last twelve months due to additional products being designed to potentially add to our product line.

Income tax expense. 
Income tax expense decreased due to our sales and profitability falling short of expectation during the current fiscal year to date, resulting in a $74,378 tax benefit during the six-month period ended August 31, 2012 as compared to an income tax expense of $219,253 for the comparable period of the prior fiscal year.

Net Income / Loss. Net loss for the six-month period ended August 31, 2012 was $93,704 compared to net income of $337,615 for the six-month period ended August 31, 2011.  This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in sales, partially offset by decreases in operating expenses as discussed above.  As noted in the commentary for the second quarter, we feel that sales and profits should be back on track starting in the third quarter and going forward.
   
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Net cash provided by operating activities. During the six-month period ended August 31, 2012, the Company funded its operations primarily through proceeds from product sales.  Our accounts receivable, excluding the change in allowances, increased by approximately $202,000 due to larger orders at the end of the time period to customers with credit terms, while our customer deposits decreased by approximately $23,000.  Net loss was impacted by non-cash charges for stock-based compensation amounting to $178,000, largely due to warrant amortization.  We also received the balance of the restricted cash in the amount of $146,081 during the quarter ended August 31, 2012.

Net cash used in investing activities. During the six-month period ended August 31, 2012, the decrease in cash used by investing activities was due to the purchase of $26,600 of property and equipment compared to $58,300 during the same time period in the prior fiscal year.
 
Net cash used in financing activities. The decrease in cash used in financing activities during the six-month period ended August 31, 2012 was largely due to repayment of capital lease obligations totaling $1,700 compared to $53,000 in the comparable period of fiscal  2012.  In the prior year period, the Company also expended $25,000 for repurchase shares of its common stock, this did not occur in the current period.
 
Our principal sources of liquidity have historically been funds generated from operating activities and borrowings from the TAM Trust, one of our principal shareholders and borrowing under our line of credit. As of August 31, 2012, the Company had no outstanding borrowings either from TAM Trust or under our line of credit.  The Company believes that additional funding may still be required from the TAM Trust or other shareholders to handle the growth in sales volume. During April 2011, the TAM Trust committed to providing up to $250,000 in additional funding, which is still available to the Company to the date of this filing if it is needed.
 
As of August 31, 2012, the Company had $1,253,897 in cash and no borrowings outstanding on 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.
