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 subsidiaries (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, 2013, 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 28, 2013.  The results of operations for the periods ended November 30, 2013 and 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal years.

The summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the February 28, 2013 consolidated financials included in the 10-K filed on May 21, 2013.

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.
 
 
NOTE 2:    BASIC 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 presented.  Diluted income 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 is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method.
 
The denominator for diluted income  per share for the nine-month periods ended November 30, 2013 and 2012 is adjusted to include the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents, consisting of warrants totaling 1,685,030 and 1,557,066 shares, respectively.  The denominator for diluted income per share for the three-month period ended November 30, 2013 is adjusted to include the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents, consisting of warrants totaling 3,808,285.  The denominator for diluted income per share for the three-month period ended November 30, 2012 did not include warrants as they would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 3:   COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS
 
Common Stock
During the nine-month period ended November 30, 2013, the Company issued 20,000 shares of restricted common stock for services rendered valued at $4,600.  All shares of restricted stock were fully vested upon issuance but not able to be traded on the open market upon issuance.  The value recorded was based on the estimated fair value of the stock on the date of grant.  During the nine-month period ended November 30, 2012, the Company issued 10,000 shares of restricted stock to an employee for services rendered, valued at $3,100.   The value  recorded was based on the estimated fair value of the stock on the date of grant.
 
Warrants
The Company has determined the estimated value of warrants granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The amount of the expense charged to operations for warrants was $88,490 and $262,690 for the three and nine-month periods ended November 30, 2013, respectively, and $88,804 and $266,412 for the three and nine-month periods ended November 30, 2012, respectively.  All outstanding warrants are expected to be vested in December 2015.

NOTE 6:    CONCENTRATIONS

Sales to two customers accounted for 55% and 47% of sales for the three and nine-month periods ended November 30, 2013, respectively.  Accounts receivable from three customers amounted to approximately 80% of accounts receivable at November 30, 2013.    Sales to two customers accounted for 51% of sales for the three-month period ended November 30, 2012.  Sales to two customers accounted for 31% of sales for the nine-month period ended November 30, 2012.  Accounts receivable from these two customers accounted for 66% of accounts receivable at November 30, 2012.  
 
 
NOTE 7:    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

NOTE 8:  INCOME TAXES

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of November 30, 2013 and February 28, 2013 was $0 and $100,000, respectively.  The net change in the total valuation allowance was a decrease of $100,000 for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2013. The valuation allowance at February 28, 2013 was, in part, related to Federal and state net operating loss carryforwards that, in the judgment of management, are not more-likely-than-not to be realized.  In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.  Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment.  As of February 28, 2013, the Company has approximately $1.1 million and $1.9 million of remaining NOL carryforwards for federal and state purposes, respectively, which expire in various years through 2027.  Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the items underlying the Company’s deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, and as a result the existing valuation allowance of $100,000 was reversed during the three months ended November 30, 2013.

Sales. Our customer concentration is constantly changing, which contributes toward much of the fluctuation in sales.  The current period increase in sales is primarily due to sales to two customers who accounted for approximately $0.7 million of total sales, and a $0.2 million increase in sales.  These two customers accounted for 55% of revenues in the three-month period ended November 30, 2013 compared to 42% in the same period ended November 30, 2012.  By contrast, three other customers represented approximately 0% and 19% of sales for the three-month periods ended November 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and individually accounted for a decrease in sales of $0.2 million.  Sales through the Company’s website totaled approximately $47,000 and $27,000 for the three-month periods ended November 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  This represents an increase of $20,000 or 74% from the comparable period in the prior year.  The increase in sales is also the net result of a shift in our product mix.  Significant increases were experienced within a few product lines: pitchers (which increased to $263,000 in the current quarter as compared to $244,000 in sales for the comparable period) and pumps (to $92,000 from $79,000). 
 
Cost of sales and gross profit percentage. The increase in cost of sales is largely a direct result of the 3% increase in sales for the three-month period ended November 30, 2013 from the comparable period in the prior year. The decrease in gross profit from 56% to 48% was due to partially selling lower gross profit products during the period, but is also directly related to increases in start-up costs in contract manufacturing activity in China for new products and freight charges for selected customers via air rather than by boat. The profit margin will also fluctuate from time to time based on the product mix within sales.  Cost of sales for the three months ended November 30, 2013 were also impacted by the reversal of inventory reserves in the amount of approximately $81,000.  We are continuing to pursue efficiencies in the production process and have negotiated for significantly better component 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 on the product mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses.  These expenses were relatively consistent, increasing by approximately $5,000, or 1%, during the three months ended November 30, 2013 compared to the same period ended in the prior year.   Selling expenses represented approximately 0.2% and 2.0% of sales for the three months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.   The decrease in selling expenses as a percentage of sales is largely a result of changing product mix and customer concentrations, as well as the negotiation of changes in commission rates.  Commissions expense decreased approximately $23,000 when comparing the two periods, which results in an even lower percentage due to the larger sales base and can vary for sales of different products and different customers, so changes in the sales mix can cause commissions to decrease.  We expect sales commissions to be less than 6% of sales for the remainder of fiscal year 2014.  General and administrative expenses increased approximately $32,000 when compared to the comparable period in the prior year.  This increase was largely due to increases in professional fees related to the increased use of outside consultants.   We do not expect an increase in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales for the remainder of fiscal 2014.
 
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 fluctuated from an expense to a benefit due to lower pretax income during the current fiscal year as compared to the comparable prior year period, as well as, a reversal of the $100,000 in valuation allowance previously recorded against existing deferred tax assets.
 
Net Income. Net income for the three-month period ended November 30, 2013 was $197,415 compared to net income of $167,096 for the three-month period ended November 30, 2012.  This was primarily due to a reversal of the $100,000 in valuation allowance as discussed above, resulting in an income tax benefit for the period despite the reported taxable income.  Pretax income decreased by approximately $75,000 in the current year compared to the same period of the prior year.  The decrease in gross margin of approximately $71,000 represents most of the decrease in pretax income for the three month period compared to the comparable period in the prior year.  The net income should continue to improve when larger sales orders begin coming in related to new higher margin products now 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 also have large distributors and representatives under contract, or other companies we are talking to, who could aid in developing potential sales in China, Japan, and Mexico, as well as major retailers in the United States, and feel that this could favorably impact our financials in fiscal 2015.

Sales. Our customer concentration is constantly changing, which contributes toward much of the fluctuation in sales.  The current period increase in sales is largely due to sales to three customers who accounted for approximately $1.3 million of the increase; accounting for 57% of revenues in the nine-month period ended November 30, 2013 compared to 33% in the same period ended November 30, 2012.  This was partially offset by fluctuation of other customers.    Sales through the Company’s website totaled approximately $149,000 and $232,000 for the nine-month periods ended November 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  This represents a decrease of $83,000 or 36% from the comparable period in the prior year.  The increase in sales is also the result of a shift in our product mix.  Significant changes were experienced within a few product lines: mission packs (which increased to $682,000 in the current period as compared to $216,000 in sales for the comparable prior year period) and bottles (which increased to $1,361,000 from $812,000).  The increase in mission packs and bottle sales is due to sales fluctuations to two of the Company’s customers.

Cost of sales and gross profit percentage. The increase in cost of sales is largely a direct result of the 39% increase in sales for the nine-month period ended November 30, 2013 from the comparable period in the prior year.  Cost of sales increased by 38% from period to period by comparison, resulting in an increase in gross profit margin to 49% from 48%.  Our profit margin will fluctuate from time to time based on the product mix within sales.  As the Company has increased the use of contract manufacturers in China for new products, and it has experienced increased manufacturing costs along with increases in freight charges for selected customers via air rather than by boat which has further negative impact on margins.  These increased freight charges are expected to be more than offset by the cost savings on using manufacturers in China, however the large number of newly introduced products resulted in increased costs for the setup and development of the manufacturing processes in the early stages.  As mentioned in the sales discussion, a large reason for the increase in sales was a $467,000 increase in mission packs and a $550,000 increase in bottles compared to the same period in the prior year.  Each of these product lines produced margins of approximately 46-47% in the current year.  As noted in the three-month period ended November 30, 2013, discussion of gross margins we  are continuing to pursue efficiencies in the production process and have negotiated for significantly  better component prices and believe that gross margins will improve further if we are successful in these plans.   Cost of sales for the nine months ended November 30, 2013 were also impacted by the reversal of inventory reserves in the amount of approximately $49,000. 
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses.  These expenses increased by approximately $20,000, or 2%, during the nine months ended November 30, 2013 compared to the same period ended in the prior year.  Selling expenses decreased when compared to the same period in fiscal 2013.   The expenses represented approximately 4.5% and 6.4% of sales for the nine months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.   Not all sales are commissionable, and the decrease in selling expenses as a percentage of sales is largely a direct result of changing product mix and customer concentrations, as well as the negotiation of changes in commission rates.  We expect sales commissions to be less than 6% of sales for the remainder of fiscal year 2014.  General and administrative expenses increased approximately $42,000 when compared to the comparable period in the prior year.  Netted within this change is a $42,000 decrease in expenses related to a decrease in the allowance for doubtful accounts, resulting in a reversal of previously recorded bad debt expense.  Exclusive of the reversal of this item, the general and administrative expenses increased approximately $84,000.  This increase was largely due to increased consulting expenses.
   
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. 
The provision for income taxes increased due to an increase in our sales and profitability during the current fiscal year to date, resulting in a $164,461 tax expense during the nine-month period ended November 30, 2013 as compared to $4,338 for the comparable period of the prior fiscal year.  The tax provision for the nine months ended November 30, 2013 is net of a $100,000 tax benefit recorded as the result of the reversal during the period of the valuation allowance previously recorded against deferred tax assets.

Net Income. Net income for the nine-month period ended November 30, 2013 was $480,503 compared to $73,391 for the nine-month period ended November 30, 2012.  This increase was primarily due to the increase in sales and margin, with the $539,000 increase in gross margin accounting for most of the $567,235 increase in pretax income for the current year to date. As noted in the commentary for the third quarter, the net income should continue to be improved when larger sales orders begin coming in related to new higher margin products now ready for the market and related to increasing activity with large distributors and representatives in foreign markets and favorably impact our financials in  fiscal 2015.
   
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Net cash provided by operating activities. During the nine-month period ended November 30, 2013, the Company funded its operations primarily through operations, and cash provided by operations was consistent with cash provided by operations in the same period in the prior year.  Our accounts receivable, excluding the change in allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns, decreased by approximately $226,000 due to increased sales and strong collections.  Inventories increased by approximately $359,000, excluding the change in the inventory reserve, as the Company prepared for impending orders in the fourth quarter.  Net income was impacted by non-cash charges for stock-based compensation amounting to $267,000, largely due to warrant amortization and the change in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets in the amount of $100,000.
 
Net cash used in investing activities. During the nine-month period ended November 30, 2013, the slight decrease in cash used by investing activities was primarily due to a decrease in capital expenditures.  The purchase of property and equipment amounted to approximately $30,000 in the nine-month period ended November 30, 2013 compared to approximately $67,000 during the same time period in the prior fiscal year.
 
Net cash used in financing activities. The cash used in financing activities during the nine-month period ended November 30, 2013 was due to repayment of capital lease obligation totaling $3,100 compared to $3,200 in the comparable period of fiscal  2013.

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 borrowings under our line of credit. As of November 30, 2013, 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.  Previously, TAM 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.  It should be noted that while TAM has committed to provide such funding, it is under no contractual obligation to do so.

As of November 30, 2013, the Company had $2,749,544 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 2014 and fiscal 2015.
 
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 2013 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.
