NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED (UNAUDITED) 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, 2011, 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 28, 2011 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the periods ended November 30, 2011 and 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full 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 28, 2011 financials included in the 10-K filed on May 31, 2011.
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.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has 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. The collective efforts of the Boards and their staffs, reflected in ASU 2011-04, have resulted in common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, including a consistent meaning of the term “fair value.” The Boards have concluded the common requirements will result in greater comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.
The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application by public entities is not permitted. The Company has not yet determined the potential impact on its future consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED (UNAUDITED) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2: INCOME 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. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by using the treasury stock method and dividing net income (loss) 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 for the period ended November 30, 2011 is adjusted to include the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents, consisting of warrants totaling 3,078,989 and 2,950,118 for the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2011, respectively. The denominator for diluted income per share for the period ended November 30, 2010 is adjusted to include the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents, consisting of warrants totaling 4,383,495 and 4,364,479 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 income per share for the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2010, because they would have been anti-dilutive.
NOTE 3: STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Common Stock
During the nine-month period ended November 30, 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. During the quarter ended November 30, 2011, the Company issued 25,000 shares of restricted common stock to employees as compensation at a total value of $6,250, which was based on the fair value of the stock on the date of grant.
The Company purchased 100,000 shares of common stock at a cost of $25,000 during the nine months ended November 30, 2011 which were placed in the treasury and recorded at cost. No shares of common stock were purchased by the Company during the quarter ended November 30, 2011.
Contributed Executive Services
The President of the Company elected not to accept his salary until the Company has become profitable. Although the Company has achieved profitable operations, he continued to not accept his salary. Accordingly, the Company recorded $2,500 and $7,500, the contractual value of these services, for the three and nine month periods, respectively, in each of the periods ended November 30, 2011 and 2010, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses and additional paid-in capital.
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 $88,804 and $266,413 for the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2011, respectively, and $-nil- for the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2010. All outstanding warrants are expected to vest in December 2015.

Revenues. Our customer concentration is constantly changing, which contributes to much of the fluctuation in revenues. The current period decrease in revenues is primarily due to sales to two customers who accounted for approximately $665,800 of the net decrease, accounting for 46% of revenues in the three-month period ended November 30, 2011 compared to 70% in the same period ended November 30, 2010. There was also a $23,000 decrease in website sales for the three-month period ended November 30, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in sales is also the net result of a shift in our product mix. Significant variances were experienced within a few product lines: missionary packs increased by $89.500, pitcher increased by $33,280, stainless steel bottles decreased by $68,300, replacement filters decreased by $65,400, pumps decreased by $22,200, straws decreased by $18,300, and plastic bottles decreased by $120,500. Sales were also down this quarter due to delays in negotiating three major new distributor agreements, shipments to Japan and the launch of the new pH product line.
13
Cost of revenues and gross profit percentage. The decrease in cost of revenues is largely a direct result of the 36% decrease in sales for the three-month period ended November 30, 2011 from the comparable period in the prior year. Cost of revenues decreased by 64% from period to period by comparison, resulting in an increase in gross profit margin to 71% from 49%. Our profit margin will fluctuate from time to time based on the product mix within sales. The main reason for the fluctuation is due to inventory reserve of pitchers and countertops being written down in previous periods and these items having greater sales in the current year. 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 the lower margin products will have on the product mix.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. These expenses increased by approximately $211,000, or 81%, during the three months ended November 30, 2011 compared to the same period ended in the prior year. Selling expenses increased approximately $77,000 compared to the same period in 2010. This is due to the increase in commissionable sales. Not all sales are commissionable, and the increase in selling expenses as a percentage of sales is largely a direct result of the increase in commissionable sales to two significant customers. We expect sales commissions to be approximately 13% of sales for the remainder of fiscal year 2011. Significant components of the increase are gift and bonus expense to reward performance for a profitable year in 2011 (to $7,600 for 2011 compared to $6,700 for 2010), merchant fee expense (to $7,400 compared to $5,200), printing expense (to $8,300 compared to $14,700), outside services (to $23,600 compared to $9,700), worker’s compensation insurance ($39,200 compared to $6,400), and consulting fees ($147,000 compared to $45,900). We anticipate general and administrative expenses for the remainder of fiscal 2011 to remain consistent or decrease due to the annual insurance adjustment for additional employees hired throughout the year that was expensed in the quarter ended November 30, 2011.
Depreciation and amortization expense. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense is due to additional assets being purchased throughout the year due to changing product designs.
Net Income. Net income for the three-month period ended November 30, 2011 was $90,515 compared to net income of $308,778 for the three-month period ended November 30, 2010. This was primarily due to the slight decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales, partially offset by the increases in operating expenses as discussed above. The net income can be improved when larger sales orders begin coming in for the larger volume products and as noted previously, out-source the production to a high volume assembler/fulfillment vendor we have established a relationship with to do this for us. This net income short-fall doesn’t change the long-term outlook as revenues continue to increase versus prior year. Finally, we are aggressively working on expanding the number of customers to lessen the impact of volume changes by customers from period to period to make production runs longer creating greater efficiencies and increasing net income.

Revenues. Our customer concentration is constantly changing, which contributes to much of the fluctuation in revenues. The current period increase in revenues is largely due to sales to two customers who accounted for approximately $2,507,595 compared to $2,123,189 of the net increase, accounting for 59% of revenues in the nine-month period ended November, 2011 compared to 65% in the same period ended November 30, 2010. This was increased further by website sales which contributed $543,529 in the nine-month period ended November 30, 2011 compared to the same period ended November 30, 2010 of $290,613. The increase 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 $684,000 in the current quarter as compared to $704,000 in sales for the comparable period), pitchers (which increased to $1,180,000 from $369,000), stainless steel bottles(which increased to $346,000 from $291,000), straws (increased to $199,00 from $86,000), countertop units (increased to $92,000 from $4,000), replacement filters (increased to $322,000 from $297,000), and plastic bottles (which decreased to $902,000 from $995,000). There were also increased revenues from the introduction of new product lines, such as the Aqua Mist and shower lines, which combined for $131,000 of current year revenue as compared to zero in the comparable period of the prior year.
15
Cost of revenues and gross profit percentage. The increase in cost of revenues is largely a direct result of the 29% increase in sales for the nine-month period ended November 30, 2011 from the comparable period in the prior year. Cost of revenues increased by 25% from period to period by comparison, resulting in an increase in gross profit margin to 52% from 51%. 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 increase in sales was an $811,000 increase in sales of pitchers compared to the same period in the prior year. The sales of pitchers typically result in a lower margin per unit than most of the Company’s other product lines. As noted in the 3 month period ended November 30, 2011, discussion of gross margins are continuing to pursue efficiencies in the production process and we 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 increased by approximately $708,000, or 98%, during the nine months ended November 30, 2011 compared to the same period ended in the prior year. Selling expenses increased approximately $204,600 compared to the same period in 2010. This is due to the increase in commissioned sales. Not all sales are commissionable, and the increase in selling expenses as a percentage of sales is largely a direct result of the increase in commissionable sales to two significant customers. We expect sales commissions to be approximately 13% of sales for the remainder of fiscal year 2011. Significant components of the increase in general and administrative expenses are gift and bonus expense to reward performance for a profitable year in 2011 (to $49,200 for 2011 compared to $18,100 for 2010), merchant fee expense (to $32,700 compared to $16,200), accounting fee (to $63,000 compared to $52,000), worker’s compensation insurance (to $47,000 compared to $22,000), printing expense (to $44,700 compared to $30,500), outside services (to $87,800 compared to $28,700), and consulting fees ($448,800 compared to $150,400). The increases in outside services is due primarily to website orders being filled by outside fulfillment center and an increase in labor required to fulfill incoming orders. We expect general and administrative expenses for the remainder of fiscal 2011 to remain constant or slightly decrease as we expand to handle the growth of our sales and try to focus on inefficiencies.
Depreciation and amortization expense. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense is due to some assets becoming fully depreciated as well as a bagging machine being removed from our assets in the current year.
Net Income. Net income for the nine-month period ended November 30, 2011 was $428,130 compared to net income of $799,110 for the nine-month period ended November 30, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to higher selling, general and administrative expenses as mentioned above. We continue to be bullish on the long-term prospects of the Company with the high margin new products being launched in the fourth quarter and the increased consumer awareness of the contamination of the fresh water supply both in the United States and internationally.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash provided by operating activities.
During the nine-month ended November 30, 2011, the Company funded its operations primarily through proceeds from product sales. Our accounts receivable, excluding change in allowances, increased by $151,000 reflecting the growth in sales, while our customer deposits increased by $147,000 due the growth in customer orders. Net income was impacted by noncash charges for stock-based compensation amounting to $288,000, largely due to warrant amortization and 75,000 shares issued for services rendered in the nine month period ended November 30, 2011.
16
Net cash used in investing activities. During the nine-month period ended November 30, 2011, the increase in cash used by investing activities was due to the purchase of $72,000 of property and equipment.
Net cash used in financing activities.
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 November 30, 2011, the Company has no outstanding borrowings either from TAM Trust or under our line of credit. The Company believes that despite the increase in sales experienced during the fiscal years ended February 28, 2011 and 2010 and the nine-month period ended November 30, 2011, additional funding may still be required from the TAM Trust or other shareholders to handle the growth in sales volume. During April 2010, the TAM Trust committed to providing up to $250,000 in additional funding.
As of November 30, 2011, the Company had $1,352,793 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 2012.
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 2011 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 controls over financial reporting 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.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In early, 2005, the Company was named in a lawsuit originally brought against the Company’s President involving issues unrelated to the Company’s water filtration business.
