SEYCHELLE ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying 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 November 30, 2010, 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 February 28, 2010 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the interim periods ended November 30, 2010 and 2009 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 periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.
NOTE 2: INCOME PER SHARE
Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per share is computed by using the treasury stock method and dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period after giving effect to all potentially dilutive common stock, consisting of stock warrants.
The denominator for diluted income per share is adjusted to include the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents, consisting of 4,383,495 and 4,364,479 warrants for the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2010, respectively. Common stock equivalents, consisting of 1,819,721 and 1,809,721 warrants were considered but were not included in the computation of diluted income per share for the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2010, respectively, because they would have been anti-dilutive. Dilutive common stock equivalents for the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2009 consisted of warrants totaling 6,549,721.
NOTE 3: COMMON STOCK AND COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS
During the three months ended November 30, 2010, the Company issued 28,500 shares of common stock as compensation with a total value of $6,270, which was based on the fair value of the stock on the date of grant.
The Company from time to time has granted warrants in lieu of cash compensation for services performed or financing expenses. The Company has determined the estimated value of these compensatory warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model. There were no expenses charged to operations for compensatory warrants granted in exchange for services for the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2010 and $1,697 for the three and nine month period ended November 30, 2009.

Sales. Our customer concentration is constantly changing which contributes to much of the fluctuation in sales. The current period increase in sales is primarily due to sales to four customers who accounted for 70% of sales in the three-month period ended November 30, 2010 compared to 50% in the same period ended November 30, 2009. There was also a significant increase in website sales for the three-month period ended November 30, 2010 by $57,000 as more and more customers are discovering this means of purchasing our product. Bottle revenue increased from $135,000 to $320,000. Replacement filter revenue increased from $75,000 to $159,000. Additional sales of the filter only were included in sales for the three month period ended November 30, 2010 which increased revenue by $256,000. It is normal for sales by product to fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Further, sales are expected to continue to increase going forward.
- 11 -
Cost of sales and gross profit percentage. The increase in cost of sales is largely a direct result of the 60% increase in sales for the three-month period ended November 30, 2010 from the comparable period in the prior year. Cost of sales increased by 70% from period to period by comparison, resulting in a decline in gross profit margin to 49% from 52%. Our profit margin will fluctuate from time to time based on the product mix within sales. This increase in cost of sales in the current period was partially offset by the sale of some higher gross margin products. 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. Cost of direct materials used in production of product for the three month period ended November 30, 2010 increased by approximately 62% due to a slight increase in a couple of key components and additional products being upgraded or added to the product line compared to the same period in the prior year.
Selling expenses. Selling expenses consist primarily of commissions paid to salespeople, however not all sales are commissionable. The decrease in selling expenses for the three-month period ended November 30, 2010 when compared to the same period in 2009 is largely a direct result of the decrease in commissionable sales and the increase in customer sales fluctuations. Since overall sales increased $481,400, the significant decrease in commissionable sales results in selling expenses comprising a smaller percentage of sales than we would normally expect. Selling expenses comprised 2% of sales for 2010 compared to 6% for 2009.
General and administrative expenses. The increase of $29,363 was due to the increase in sales.. We expect only a slight increase in general and administrative expenses for the remainder of fiscal 2011 as we expand to handle the growth of our sales.
Compensation to executive officers and related parties. The increase in compensation to executive officers for the three-month period ended November 30, 2010, compared to the three-month period ended November 30, 2009, is due to monthly payments paid to the Company’s officers for services rendered. During the three months ended November 30, 2010, payments were made totaling $17,500 to the TAM Irrevocable Trust as compensation for consulting. To further this increase, payments to two officers increased by $3,900 in the period ended November 30, 2010 compared the three months ended November 30 in the prior year. These increases were discretionary increases based on the Company’s increased profitability in the current year.
Interest expense to related parties. The decrease in interest expense to related parties for the three-month period ended November 30, 2010, compared to the three-month period ended November 30, 2009, is due to the repayment on the outstanding notes payable balance during the period ended November 30, 2010.
Net Income. Net income for the three-month period ended November 30, 2010 was $308,778 compared to net income of $146,946 for the three-month period ended November 30, 2009. This was due to the increase in revenues offset by the decrease in gross profit margin discussed above and an increase in general and administrative expense in the three-month period ended November 30, 2010.

Revenues. The increase in revenues is primarily due to sales to four customers who accounted for 65% of sales in the period ended November 30, 2010 compared to 50% in the same period of the prior year. This increase in sales was
- 12 -
further expanded by the fluctuation of sales between customers; however we expect to continue to expand our customer base. Approximately 98,900 plastic bottles were sold during the nine-month period ended November 30, 2010 at an average price of $10.07 per bottle compared to the previous year in which approximately 83,700 plastic bottles were sold at an average price of $9.01. The remaining sales by product for the period ended November 30, 2010 were $704,000 in mission packs, $369,000 in pitchers, $297,000 in replacement filters, and $291,000 in stainless steel bottles compared to the period ended November 30, 2009 in which sales included $343,000 for mission packs, $40,000 in pitchers, $75,000 in replacement filters, and $110,000 in stainless steel bottles. As noted in the three month discussion, the Company is well positioned to finish out the year well ahead of prior year’s sales.
Cost of sales and gross profit percentage. The increase in cost of sales is primarily a direct result of sales increasing during the nine-month period ended November 30, 2010. As a percentage of sales, the gross profit margin during the nine months ended November 30, 2010 increased to 51% from 45% for the nine months ended November 30, 2009 due to longer production runs being centered on a higher quantity of products reducing the labor costs associated with these items. Our profit margin will also fluctuate from time to time based on the product mix within sales. The increase in the current period is due to the sale of higher gross margin products. As mentioned above, a large reason for the increase in sales was a $329,000 increase in sales of the pitcher, a $220,000 increase in replacement filter sales, and a $361,000 increase in sales of the missionary pack versus prior year. The missionary pack results in a higher margin per unit than many of our other products. 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 expenses. Selling expenses consist primarily of commissions paid to salespeople, however not all sales are commissionable. The increase in selling expenses for the nine-month period ended November 30, 2010 when compared to the same period in 2009 is largely a direct result of the increase in commissionable sales to two customers totaling $66,400 in commission for the period ended November 30, 2010 compared to $57,000 in the same period ended November 30, 2009. Since overall sales increased $1,361,897, the significant increase in commissionable sales results in selling expenses comprising a smaller percentage of sales than we would normally expect. Selling expenses comprised 0.3% of sales for 2010 compared to 4.3% for 2009. We expect sales commissions to be approximately 2% of sales for the remainder of fiscal year 2011.
General and administrative expenses. Significant components of general and administrative expenses are printing and reproduction of $30,000 for 2010 compared to $18,000 in 2009 due to different manuals being made in the current year; gift-bonus expense of $18,000 in 2010 compared to $7,200 in 2009 due to an increase in sales; wages and salaries expense of $112,000 in 2010 compared to $104,000 in 2009 due to an employee being hired in June 2009 that is still with the Company, and insurance expense of $47,900 in 2010 compared to $23,500 in 2009 directly reflected by the increase in payroll. We expect only a slight increase in general and administrative expenses for the remainder of fiscal 2011 as we expand to handle the growth of our sales.
Compensation to executive officers and related parties. The increase in compensation to executive officers for the nine-month period ended November 30, 2010, compared to the nine-month period ended November 30, 2009, is due to monthly payments paid to the Company’s officers for services rendered. During the nine months ended November 30, 2010, payments totaling $58,999 were made to the TAM Irrevocable Trust as compensation for consulting. To further this increase, payments to two officers were increased by $67,500 in the period ended November 30, 2010 compared the nine months ended November 30 in the prior year. These increases were discretionary increases based on the Company’s increased profitability in the current year.
Interest expense to related parties. The decrease in interest expense to related parties for the nine-month period ended November 30, 2010, compared to the nine-month period ended November 30, 2009, is due to the repayment on the outstanding notes payable balance during the period ended November 30, 2010.
Net Income. Net income for the nine-month period ended November 30, 2010 was $799,110 compared to $241,491 for the nine-month period ended November 30, 2009. This was due to the increase in revenues in the nine-month period ended November 30, 2010. Further, we expect continued improvement in the Company’s profitability since we are proceeding to ramp up the business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash provided by operating activities. During the nine-month period ended November 30, 2010, the Company funded its operations primarily through product sales and collection of related receivables. Our accounts receivable increased by $82,657 due to sales increasing the current fiscal year and the timing of collection due to different payment terms created for one of the larger customers. We decreased our inventory levels by $93,659 and increased prepaids by approximately $21,000 in anticipation of continued sales growth in fiscal 2011. Our accounts payable and accrued expenses both increased by $52,951.
Net cash used in investing activities. During the nine-month period ended November 30, 2010, cash used in investing activities was $46,928 for the purchase of property and equipment and intangibles compared to $10,748 during the same time period in the prior fiscal year.
Net cash used in financing activities. The increase in cash used in financing activities during the nine-month period ended November 30, 2010 was largely due to repayments totaling $432,921 on notes payable, of which $471,088 was for payments on related party notes payable, compared to $8,581 in the time period of 2009, offset partially by proceeds of $50,000 from increased borrowings under the line of credit.
Our principal sources of liquidity have historically been funds generated from operating activities and borrowings from the TAM Irrevocable Trust, one of our principal shareholders and borrowing under our line of credit. At February 28, 2010, the Company had outstanding notes payable from the Company’s primary shareholder(the TAM Irrevocable Trust, in which Cari Beck, is the trustee as well as a daughter of Carl Palmer an officer and Board member) totaling and $471,088. A portion ($299,175) of these notes bore interest at 10% per annum, while $171,913 of the notes payable bore interest at a rate of 3.25%. The Company paid the outstanding notes payable, including interest, owed to the TAM Irrevocable Trust in September and October, 2010. The Company believes that despite the increase in sales experienced during the fiscal years ended February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009 and the nine-month period ended November 30, 2010, additional funding may still be required from the TAM Irrevocable Trust or other shareholders to handle the growth in sales volume. During April 2010, the TAM Irrevocable Trust committed to providing up to $250,000 in additional funding.
As of November 30, 2010, the Company had $867,515 in cash and cash equivalents and $50,000 in 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 2011.
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 2010 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.
