CONDENSED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE
1: CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared by 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, 2008, 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 financial statements be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s February
29, 2008 audited financial statements. The results of operations for
the periods ended May 31, 2008 and 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results for the full years.
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 period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
NOTE
2: GOING CONCERN
The
Company has experienced recurring losses from operations and has an accumulated
deficit of $6,809,226 as of May 31, 2008. These factors, among others, raise
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern.
Recoverability
of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying
condensed consolidated balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of
the Company, which, in turn, is dependent upon the Company's ability to continue
to finance its activities and ultimately generate positive cash flows from
operations. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset
amounts or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary
should the Company be unable to continue its existence.
In order
to continue as a going concern, the Company needs to develop a reliable source
of revenue, and achieve a profitable level of operation. During the fiscal year
ended February 29, 2008 and the three-month period ended May 31, 2008, the
Company funded its operations primarily through utilization of customer sales to
pay related purchase orders and funds received from a related party (see Note
3). As of May 31, 2008 the Company held $106,726 in cash. It had a
backlog of $35,500 in unshipped products and $328,087 available to borrow from a
related party. Over the next twelve months, management believes that
sufficient working capital may be obtained from a combination of revenues and
external financing to meet the Company’s liabilities and commitments as they
become payable. However, additional funding may still be required from the TAM
Irrevocable Trust (TAM Trust), a related entity, or other shareholders. During
June 2007, the TAM Trust committed to providing up to $250,000 in additional
funding. As of May 31, 2008, $78,087 remained available under this
commitment. During April 2008, the TAM Trust committed to providing
up to $250,000 in additional funding if necessary. As of May 31,
2008, the TAM Trust has extended $693,737 in financing borrowings plus accrued
interest to the Company.
NOTE
3: SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
In March
2008, the Company borrowed an additional $20,000 from its available line of
credit (Note 6). After the additional borrowing, the Company has no
remaining available borrowings under the line of credit.
In March
2008, the Company borrowed an additional $75,000 from a related party (the TAM
Trust), under similar terms as the Company’s current outstanding notes
payable. In April 2008, the TAM Trust committed to funding up to an
additional $250,000 under similar terms as the current amounts
outstanding.
In March
2008, the Company issued 133,333 shares of restricted common stock as repayment
of a bridge note payable outstanding in the amount of $40,000 (Note
6).

NOTE
3: SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
In March
2008, the Company issued 15,000 shares of common stock as payment of accrued
interest to related party.
In April
2008, the Company issued 1,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.33 in
payment of accrued interest. The total grant date fair value of the warrants was
$227,000 which was calculated using the Black Scholes option pricing
model.
In April
2008, the Company issued 700,000 warrants to two executives with an exercise
price of $0.33 for payment of expanded management services. The total grant date
fair value of the warrants was $159,000 which was calculated using the Black
Scholes option pricing model and will be amortized over the two year exercisable period
for which the warrants were granted.
NOTE
4: BASIC INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
The
computation of basic and diluted income (loss) per common share is based on the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period.

NUMBER
OF SHARES OUTSTANDING
|
25,810,373 | 25,160,064 |
The
computation of loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of
shares outstanding during the year plus the common stock equivalents which would
arise from the exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding using the
treasury stock method and the average market price per share during the
year. Common stock equivalents, consisting of 19,160,037 in warrants
were considered but were not included in the computation of loss per share at
May 31, 2008, because they would have been anti-dilutive.
NOTE 5: COMMON
STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS
Warrants
The
Company has determined the estimated value of the compensatory warrants granted
to non-employees in exchange for services and financing expenses using the
Black-Scholes pricing model and the following assumptions: expected term of
1year, a risk free interest rate of 2.37%, a dividend yield of 0% and volatility
of 139% in 2008. The amount of the expense charged to operations for
compensatory warrants granted in exchange for services was $46,787 for the three
months ended May 31, 2008.
The
following table summarizes the changes in warrants outstanding and the related
prices for the shares of the Company’s common stock issued to non-employees of
the Company. These warrants were granted in lieu of cash compensation for
services performed or financing expenses.
A summary
of warrant activity for the three months ended May 31, 2008 and the year ended
February 28, 2008 are as follows.

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 the Company and its
subsidiary for the three month period ended May 31, 2008 and 2007. 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-KSB for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008. 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.
Risk
Factors Related to Our Business
THE
OWNERSHIP AND INVESTMENT IN OUR SECURITIES INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISKS. OUR
COMMON SHARES SHOULD BE PURCHASED ONLY BY PERSONS WHO CAN AFFORD TO LOSE THEIR
ENTIRE INVESTMENT. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THESE RISKS
RELATING TO OUR COMPANY.
Lack
of Successful Operating History. Our Company was formed on January 23,
1998 and acquired the operations of a company that had been in existence since
1996. Since beginning operations, we initially sold water filtration products to
a number of customers, then during March 2001 entered into a sales marketing
agreement with Nikken Global, Inc. and Kenko World, two affiliated multi-level
marketing companies (collectively “Nikken”). This agreement allowed Nikken the
exclusive rights to distribute our products and technology for a period of ten
years, commencing March 1, 2001. During the period of the agreement, the Company
continued to promote its products and technologies to non-profit organizations,
such as the Red Cross, the U.S. and international militaries, missionaries,
charitable and fund-raising groups and other philanthropic organizations, which
do not sell to distributors or resell to customers. During the fiscal year
ending February 28, 2002, the Company decided to terminate its agreement with
Nikken. The Company has continued to expand its product lines, since the Nikken
business ended, but have not generated enough revenue to support operations.
This has required us to seek both investor capital and financing to buy the time
required by new management to reverse the downward trend. Recent sales activity
for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008 has decreased over the past year.
Still, we have limited financial results upon which you may judge our potential.
The Company is not engaged in enough consistent business activity over a
sustained period of time to be said to have a successful operating history. We
have experienced in the past and may experience in the future
under-capitalization, shortages, setbacks and many of the problems, delays and
expenses encountered by any early stage business. These
include:
-
|
operating
as a public entity, incurring non-cost of sales expenses such as
accounting, auditing, financial reporting and compliance, legal and costs
to maintain full compliance with rules governing regulated reporting
status, including continuing Sarbanes-Oxley
requirements,
|
-
|
unplanned
delays and expenses related to research, development and testing of our
new products
|
-
|
production
and marketing problems that may be encountered in connection with our
existing products and technologies,
|
-
|
competition
from larger and more established companies, and
|
-
|
under-capitalization
to challenge the lack of market acceptance of our new products and
technologies.
|
Lack of Profitability. To
date, we have incurred significant losses. For the quarter ended May
31, 2008, our revenue was $229,222 versus $410,971 for the comparative
quarter ended May 31, 2007. This decrease was due primarily to sales with two
customers (Wellness and Food For Health) as detailed in the Results of
Operations section below. Net losses for the quarter
ended May 31, 2008 of $123,531 were significantly lower than net income in
the comparative quarter ended May 31, 2007 of $133,316 as a result of a
one-time, non-reoccurring legal settlement in the quarter ended May 31,
2007. We have a policy of not projecting sales and profits due
to:
-
|
lack
of consistent sales to maintain profitability,
|
-
|
significant
legal and professional fees associated with regulated business activities
and the SEC,
|
-
|
reporting
requirements, including continuing Sarbanes-Oxley
requirements.
|
As a
result of our history of operations, it is not possible for us to predict when,
if ever, we may achieve profitability. If we continue to be unprofitable, we may
eventually go out of business. As a result, investors may lose some or all of
their investment.
Inherently
Risky-Competition. Because we are a Company with no history of
profitability, our operations will be extremely competitive and subject to
numerous risks. The water filtration business is highly competitive with many
companies having access to the same market. Substantially all of them have
greater financial resources and longer operating histories than we have and can
be expected to compete within the business in which we engage and intend to
engage. There can be no assurance that we will have the necessary resources to
be competitive. Therefore, investors should consider an investment in us to be
an extremely risky venture.
-
10 -
Delays
in the Development of New Products . We have a limited product line, and
the development of some of our technologies has taken longer than anticipated
and could be additionally delayed. Therefore, there can be no assurance of
timely completion and introduction of improved products on a cost-effective
basis, or that such products, if introduced, will achieve market acceptance such
that, in combination with existing products, they will sustain us or allow us
to achieve profitable operations.
Dependence
Upon Technology. We are operating in a business that requires extensive
and continuing research, development and testing efforts. There can be no
assurance that new products will not render our products obsolete or
non-competitive at some time in the future.
Protection
of Technology. A successful challenge to the ownership of our technology
could materially damage our business prospects. We rely principally on trade
secrets as well as trade secret laws, two patents, two trademarks, copyrights,
confidentiality procedures and licensing arrangements to protect our
intellectual property rights. We currently have two U.S. patents issued and a
license on two patents. Any issued patent may be challenged and invalidated.
Patents may not be issued from any of our future applications. Any claims
allowed from existing or future pending patents may not be of sufficient scope
or strength to provide significant protection for our products. Patents may not
be issued in all countries where our products can be sold so as to provide
meaningful protection or any commercial advantage to us. Our competitors may
also be able to design around our patents or the patents that we
license.
Vigorous
protection and pursuit of intellectual property rights or positions characterize
our industry, which has resulted in significant and often protracted and
expensive litigation. Therefore, our competitors may assert that our
technologies or products infringe on their patents or proprietary rights.
Problems with patents or other rights could increase the cost of our products or
delay or preclude new product development and commercialization by us. If
infringement claims against us are deemed valid, we may not be able to obtain
appropriate licenses on acceptable terms or at all. Litigation could be costly
and time-consuming but may be necessary to protect our future patent and/or
technology license positions or to defend against infringement
claims.
Competition.
Technological competition from larger and more established companies is
significant and expected to increase. Most of the companies with which we
compete and expect to compete have far greater capital resources and more
significant research and development staffs, marketing and distribution programs
and facilities, and many of them have substantially greater experience in the
production and marketing of products. Our ability to compete effectively may be
adversely affected by the ability of these competitors to devote greater
resources to the sale and marketing of their products than we can. In addition,
one or more of our competitors may succeed or may already have succeeded in
developing technologies and products that are more effective than any of those
we currently offer or are developing. In addition, there can be no guarantee
that we will be able to protect our technology from being copied or infringed
upon. Therefore, there are no assurances that we will ever be able to obtain and
to maintain a profitable position in the marketplace. However, no company to
date has been able to match our technology or our cost.
Success
Dependent Upon Management. Our success is dependent upon the
decision making of our directors and executive officers. These individuals have
made a full commitment to the business. The loss of any or all of these
individuals could have a materially adverse impact on our operations. On
December 1, 2001, we entered into an employment agreement with our President.
During November 2004, the Company entered into consulting agreements with two
officers to provide management consulting services.
Dependence
on One or a Few Customers. For the quarter ended May 31, 2008, two
customers (Emergency Essentials and Giles Butler) individually accounted for
greater than 10 percent of total sales. In addition three other customers
(Healthy Directions, K-Ceuticals and Advanced Filtration) individually account
for approximately 5% of total sales. Management believes that if the
targeted revenues are not achieved within their current marketing and
distribution agreements, the revenues can be replaced through the sale of
filters and related products to other direct marketing companies. However, there
can be no assurance that this will occur which could result in an adverse effect
on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations in the
future.
Our
Senior Management’s Limited Experience Managing A Publicly Traded Company May
Divert Management’s Attention From Operations and Harm Our
Business. Our management team has relatively limited recent
experience managing a publicly traded company and complying with federal
securities laws, including compliance with recently adopted disclosure
requirements on a timely basis. Our management will be required to
design and implement appropriate programs and policies in responding to
increased legal, regulatory compliance and reporting requirements, and any
failure to do so could lead to the imposition of fines and penalties and harm
our business.
The
Acquisition of Other Technologies Could Result In Operating Difficulties,
Dilution and Other Harmful Consequences. We may selectively
pursue strategic acquisitions, any of which could be material to our business,
operating results and financial condition. Future acquisitions could
divert management’s time and focus from operating our business. In
addition, integrating an acquired technology is risky and may result in
unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures.
-
11 -
The
anticipated benefits of our future acquisitions may not
materialize. Future acquisitions or dispositions could result in
potentially dilutive issuances of our equity securities, including our common
stock, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities or amortization expenses,
or write-offs of intellectual properties any of which could harm our financial
condition. Future acquisitions may also require us to obtain
additional financing, which may not be available on favorable terms or at
all.
We
Face Risks Associated With Currency Exchange Rate
Fluctuations. Although we currently transact business
primarily in U.S. dollars, a large portion of our revenues and related cost of
goods sold may be determined in foreign currencies if we continue to expand our
international operations. Conducting business in currencies other
than U.S. dollars subject the Company to fluctuations in currency exchange rates
that could have a negative impact on our reported operating
results. Fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to
other currencies may impact our revenue, cost of goods sold and operating gross
margin and result in foreign currency translation gains and
losses. Historically, we have not engaged in exchange rate hedging
activities.
Changes
to Financial Accounting or Other Standards May Affect Our Operating Results and
Cause Us To Change Our Business
Practices. We prepare our consolidated
financial statements to conform to generally accepted accounting principles, or
GAAP, in the United States. These accounting principles are subject
to interpretation by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board and various other bodies. A change in those policies could have
a significant effect on our reported results and may affect our reporting
of transactions completed before a change is announced.
For
example, the Company has used stock warrants, restricted stock, and other equity
incentives as a fundamental component of our executive compensation
packages. The Company believes that stock warrants and other equity
incentives directly motivate our executives to maximize long-term stockholder
value and, through the use of vesting, encourage executives to remain with the
Company. In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), which requires that grants of equity
incentives be recognized on the income statement based upon their fair
values. In addition, regulations implemented by the NASDAQ National
Market generally require stockholder approval for all equity
incentives. We may, as a result of these changes, incur increased
compensation costs, change our equity compensation strategy or find it difficult
to attract, retain and motivate employees, each of which could materially and
adversely affect our business, operating results and financial
condition.
Our
Financial Results Could Vary Significantly From Quarter to Quarter and Are
Difficult to Predict. Our revenues and operating results
could vary significantly from quarter to quarter because of a variety of
factors, many of which are outside of the Company’s control. As a
result, comparing our operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be
meaningful. In addition, we may not be able to predict our future
revenues or results of operations. We base our current and future
expense levels on our internal operating plans and anticipated sales levels, and
our operating costs are to a large extent fixed. As a result, we may
not be able to reduce our costs sufficiently to compensate for an unexpected
shortfall in revenues, and even a small shortfall in revenues could
disproportionately and adversely affect financial results for that
period. In addition, any payments due to us from our customers may be
delayed because of changes or issues with those customers’
processes.
If
We Continue to Fail in Maintaining Effective Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting, The Price of Our Common Stock May be Adversely
Affected. We Have Determined That Our Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting Have Material Weaknesses and Conditions That Need to Be Addressed, The
Disclosure of Which May Have an Adverse Impact on the Price of Our Common
Stock. We are required to establish and maintain appropriate
internal control over financial reporting. Failure to establish those
controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely
impact our public disclosure regarding our business, financial condition or
results of operations. In addition, our future assessments of
internal control over financial reporting may identify additional weaknesses and
conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial
reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any
actual of perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our
internal control over financial reporting, disclosure of management’s assessment
of our internal control over financial reporting or disclosure of our
independent registered public accounting firm’s attestation report, when
applicable, on management’s assessment of our internal control over financial
reporting may have an adverse impact of our common stock.
-
12 -
Standards
for Compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are Uncertain,
and If We Fail to Comply in a Timely Manner, Our Business Could Be Harmed and
Our Stock Price Could Decline. Rules adopted by the SEC
pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 require annual
assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, and attestation of
our assessment by our independent registered public accounting
firm. Currently, we believe these two requirements apply to our
annual reports for fiscal 2008 and 2009, respectively. The standards
that must be met for the management to assess the internal control over
financial reporting as effective are evolving and complex, and require
significant documentation, testing, and possible remediation to meet the
detailed standards. We have incurred, and expect to incur,
significant expenses and to devote resources to Section 404 compliance during
the remainder of fiscal year 2009 and on an ongoing basis. It is
difficult for us to predict how long it will take to complete the assessment of
the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for each year
and to remediate any deficiencies in our internal control over financial
reporting. As a result, we may not be able to complete the assessment
and remediation process on a timely basis. In addition, the
attestation process by our independent registered public accounting firm is new
and we may encounter problems or delays in completing the implementation of any
requested improvements and receiving an attestation of our assessment by our
independent registered public accounting firm. In the event that our
Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, or independent registered
public accounting firm determine that our internal control over financial
reporting is not effective as defined under Section 404, we cannot predict how
regulators will react of how the market prices of our shares will be affected,
however, we believe that there is a risk that investor confidence and share
value may be negatively impacted.
Maintaining
and Improving Our Financial Controls and The Requirements Of Being a Public
Company May Strain Our Resources, Divert Managements Attention and Affect Our
Ability to Attract and Retain Qualified Members For Our Board of
Directors. As a public company, we are subject to the
reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The requirements of these rules and
regulations increase our legal, accounting, and financial compliance costs, make
some activities more difficult, time-consuming and costly and may also place
undue strain on our personnel, systems, and resources. The
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires, among other things, that we maintain
effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over
financial reporting. Fulfilling this requirement can be difficult to
achieve and maintain.
We have a
substantial effort ahead of us to remediate our control deficiencies and
material weaknesses we have identified during the fiscal year
2008. As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other
business concerns, which could harm our business, operating results and
financial condition. These efforts will also involve substantial
accounting related costs.

Sales. The decrease in sales
is primarily due to decreases in sales to two of our main customers. We had
approximately $157,000 in sales of 18 ounce bottles and related accessories to
Food for Health in the three month period ended May 31, 2007 compared to $ 2,250
in sales in the three month period ended May 31, 2008.. This decrease
in sales was further decreased by normal fluctuation of sales with a significant
distributor. Sales to Wellness Enterprises decreased from
approximately $176,000 in 2007 to $100 in 2008. An increase in
additional sales took place in the quarter ended 2008 due to a discounted price
on a bottle remaining from an abandoned sale. Overall, the number of
bottles sold with or without filters decreased by approximately 51% (59,200
bottles during 2007 to 28,900 in 2008). The average sales price per
bottle decreased by 26% from approximately $6.45 during 2007 to $4.79 during
2008.
Cost of sales and gross profit
percentage. The decrease in cost of sales is primarily due to decreased
sales as well as lower raw material cost. The average sales
price per bottle decreased; however, the actual average cost per bottle
decreased 32% from $2.56 as of May 31, 2007 to $1.75 as of May 31,
2008. This decrease is cost is primarily due to a majority of the
sales during the three month period ended May 31, 2008 being sales of the
remaining bottles from a failed sale that were completed and in inventory for
over twelve months. As a percentage of sales, the gross profit margin
during the three months ended May 31, 2008 decreased to 44% from 56% for the
three months ended May 31, 2007.
Selling
expenses. Selling expenses consist primarily of commissions paid to
salespeople. The decrease in 2008 versus 2007 is a direct result of the decrease
in sales with an increase in the amount of sales related to
commissions.
General
and administrative expenses. The decrease in general and administrative
expenses was primarily due to a decrease in accounting fees of over $55,000
followed by a decrease in legal fees of approximately $6,000. The
additional decrease was due to a decrease in allocated general and
administrative expense.
-
14 -
Compensation
to executive officers. The increase in compensation to
executive officers for the three-month period ended May 31, 2008, compared to
the three-month period ended May 31, 2007, is due to an additional 700,000
warrants being issued to two executive officers in April 2008. The
warrants issued in April 2008 have a nine-month vesting period which valued
$74,000 in the period. There was an additional value of $16,700
recognized due to warrants issued in December 2007 which will also vest in
December This difference in compensation was partially offset by the
Company paying a monthly stipend, commencing October 2006 of $2,500 to Messrs.
Parsons and Place. The stipend to Mr. Place was reduced to $750 in July
2007 and subsequently reduced to $375 in November 2007. The stipend to Mr.
Parson was reduced to $1,250 in November 2007. Total stipends paid during the
three-month period ended May 31, 2007 were $15,000 while no stipends were paid
during the three month period ended May 31, 2008.
Interest
expense to related parties. The decrease in interest expense for the
three-month period ended May 31, 2008, compared to the three-month period ended
May 31, 2007, is due to the Company commencing to pay a monthly monitoring fee
of $2,500 in the three month period ended May 31, 2007.
Net Income (loss). Net Loss
for the three-month period ended May 31, 2008 was $123,531 compared to a net
income of $133,616 for the three-month period ended May 31,
2007. This was primarily due to a legal settlement being received in
the prior year and additional warrants being issued in the three month period
ended May 31, 2008 which were booked as expense.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Net
cash used in operating activities. During the three-month period ended
May 31, 2008, the Company funded its operations primarily through proceeds from
financing through the TAM Trust while in the prior fiscal year, the Company
primarily funded its operations by utilization of customer deposits to purchase
raw materials and other production costs. During the three-month
period ended May 31, 2008, the net loss of approximately $123,500 was offset by
approximately $150,000 non-cash expenditures. These non-cash expenses
relate primarily to approximately $135,000 in contributed executive services,
and depreciation and amortization of approximately $16,000.
Net
cash used in investing activities. During the three-month period ended
May 31, 2008, the decrease in cash provided by investing activities was
primarily due to the reduction of patents fees in the period and a reduction in
property and equipment purchased.
Net
cash provided by financing activities. The decrease in cash provided by
financing activities during the three-month period ended May 31, 2007 was due to
the decreased borrowing from the TAM Trust and a repayment of notes payable of
approximately $22,000.
Our
principal sources of liquidity have historically been funds generated from
operating activities and borrowings from the TAM Trust, one of our principal
shareholders. As of November 30, 2007, the TAM Trust has loaned the Company
$396,088 under two financing arrangements structured as notes payable and a
credit facility. The notes bear interest at 10% simple rate, and are repayable
after March 1, 2011. The Company believes that despite the increase
in sales experienced during the fiscal years ended February 28, 2006 and 2007
and the nine-month period ended November 30, 2007, additional funding may still
be required from the TAM Trust or other shareholders. During June 2007, the TAM
Trust committed to providing up to $250,000 in additional funding. Prior to
September 2007, the TAM Trust has advanced the Company $175,000, which was
subsequently reduced to approximately $96,900 with the restructuring of the
airplane loan in September 2007, leaving $78,087 available from the TAM Trust if
needed during fiscal year 2009. plus
an additional $250,000 committed for in April 2008 by the TAM
Trust.
As of May
31, 2008, the Company had $106,726 in cash and $-0- available borrowing 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 and committed funds to meet its operating needs through the balance of
fiscal 2008.
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.
-
15 -
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
2008 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB 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, impairment of long-lived assets and intangible assets, accounting for
transactions which potentially could be settled in a company’s own stock 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.
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;
|
(3)
|
the
Company’s cost of sales may be materially affected by increases in the
market prices of the raw materials used in the Company’s manufacturing
processes;
|
(4)
|
the
Company’s water related product sales could be materially affected by
weather conditions and government
regulations;
|
(5)
|
the
Company is subject to the risks of conducting business internationally;
and
|
(6)
|
the
industries in which the Company operates are highly competitive.
Additional risks and uncertainties are outlined in the Company’s filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its most recent
fiscal 2008 Annual Report on Form
10-KSB.

ITEM
3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We
carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of
our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of February 29, 2008. This evaluation was carried
out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive
Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of February 29,
2008, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective. During the
quarter ended May 31, 2008 we initiated the process to engage a firm to design
and implement a system of internal controls based upon the work recently
completed for the Company in this area. The internal control system
has not been in place for a sufficient period of time for our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer to evaluate it’s effectiveness. Accordingly,
we will consider our controls and procedures inadequate until such an evaluation
is completed.
Disclosure
controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or
submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and
reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and
procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Limitations
on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Our
management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our
internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and
material error. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide
reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives and our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level. Further, the design
of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints,
and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because
of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls
can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud,
if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations
include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that
breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls
can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two
or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of
any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the
likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will
succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.

Reports on Form 8-K
Changes
in Registrant's Certifying Accountant filed June 3, 2008
(a) Previous
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
(i) On
May 30, 2008, our Board of Directors voted to dismiss our independent registered
public accounting firm, Windes & McClaughry Accountancy Corporation and
to replace them with Moore & Associates, CHTD, of Las Vegas,
Nevada. As of that date, Moore & Associates, CHTD formally
accepted us as a client for the fiscal 2009 audit. Windes & McClaughry
Accountancy Corporation has rendered opinions on our consolidated financial

(iii) The
dismissal of Windes & McClaughry Accountancy Corporation was approved by our
Board of Directors.
(iv) During
the years ended February 28, 2007, February 29, 2008 and through May 30, 2008,
there were no disagreements between us and Windes & McClaughry Accountancy
Corporation with respect to our accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure or audit scope or procedure, which, if not
resolved to the satisfaction of Windes & McClaughry Accountancy Corporation,
would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the
disagreement in connection with their report. Further, the reports of Windes
& McClaughry Accountancy Corporation for the past two years did not
contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they modified as
to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except as noted
above.
(v) During
the years ended February 28, 2007, February 29, 2008 and through May 30, 2008,
other than as described below, there have been no reportable events (as defined
in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K other than the following material
weaknesses:
1. The
Company has a shortage of qualified information technology and
financial reporting personnel due to limited financial resources and number of
locations created an adjustment to our consolidated financial statements for
fiscal 2008, which was not detected initially by management.
2. The
Company did not maintain effective controls to ensure there is timely analysis
and review of accounting records, spreadsheets, and supporting
data. This control deficiency did not result in audit adjustments to
the fiscal 2008 interim or annual consolidated financial
statements. However, this control deficiency could result in a
material misstatement of significant accounts or disclosures that would result
in a material misstatement to the Company’s interim or annual consolidated
financial statements that would not be prevented or detected by employees in the
normal course of their assigned functions. Accordingly,
management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material
weakness.
3. The
Company did not effectively monitor access, maintain effective controls over
change management and operational controls related to certain financial
application data and operating systems. These control deficiencies
did not result in audit adjustments to the fiscal 2008 interim or annual
consolidated financial statements. However, these control deficiencies could
result in a material misstatement of significant accounts or disclosures that
would result in a material misstatement to the Company’s interim or annual
consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or
detected by employees in the normal course of their assigned
functions. Accordingly, management has determined that these control
deficiencies constitutes a material weakness.
4. The
Company does not maintain a sufficient level of IT personnel to execute general
computing controls over our information technology structure, which include the
implementation and assessment of information technology policies and procedures.
This control deficiency did not result in an audit adjustment to the fiscal 2008
interim or annual consolidated financial statements, but could result in a
material misstatement of significant accounts or disclosures, which would not be
prevented or detected by employees in the normal course of their assigned
functions. Accordingly, management has determined that this control
deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
The
Company furnished Windes & McClaughry Accountancy Corporation with a copy of
this Report on Form 8-K prior to filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). The Company also requested that Windes &
McClaughry Accountancy Corporation furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC
stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of
the letter furnished by Windes & McClaughry Accountancy Corporation in
response to that request dated June 3, 2008 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this
Report on Form 8-K.
We have
authorized Windes & McClaughry Accountancy Corporation to respond fully
to inquiries of Moore & Associates, CHTD concerning our financial
statements.
(b)
New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
We
engaged Moore & Associates, CHTD as our new independent registered public
accounting firm as of May 30, 2008. During the two most recent fiscal
years and through May 30, 2008, the Company has not consulted with Moore &
Associates, CHTD regarding any of the following:
(1)
|
The
application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either
completed or proposed or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered
on the Company's consolidated financial statements, and neither a written
report nor oral advice was provided to the Company by Moore &
Associates, CHTD that Moore & Associates, CHTD concluded
was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision
as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting
issue;
|
(2)
