SEYCHELLE ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED (UNAUDITED) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
NOTE 1:    CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Seychelle Environmental Technologies, Inc., and 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 August 31, 2014, 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, 2014.  The results of operations for the periods ended August 31, 2014 and 2013 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 consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements and the February 28, 2014 consolidated financials included in the 10-K filed on May 23, 2014.

The preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated 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 (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period presented.  Diluted income (loss) per share is determined using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents.  In periods when losses are reported, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.  The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and warrants is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method.
 
The denominator for diluted income (loss) per share for the three month period ended August 31, 2014 and for the six month periods ended August 31, 2014 and 2013 did not include warrants as they would have been anti-dilutive. The denominator for diluted income per share for the three month period ended August 31, 2013 is adjusted to include the effect of warrants totaling 717,995. During the six months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, 5,885,055 and 4,245,186 warrants, respectively, were excluded from diluted income (loss) per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.  During the three months ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, 5,885,055 and 4,256,762  warrants, respectively, were excluded from diluted income (loss) per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 3:   COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS
 
Common Stock
During the six month period ended August 31, 2014, 50,000 shares of restricted stock were issued by the Company to an employee. The shares vest over a two year period, with 17,000 shares vested upon issue. The remaining shares vest 17,000 and 16,000 after one and two years, respectively. The value recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements was based on the estimated fair value of the stock on the date of the grant.

During the six months ended August 31, 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 values recorded were 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 $88,175 and $176,350 for the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2014, respectively, and $85,711 and $174,200 for the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2013, respectively.  All outstanding warrants are expected to be vested in December 2015.

SEYCHELLE ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED (UNAUDITED) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
 
NOTE 8:  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company previously reported that it was involved in a case titled Letty Garcia v. Carl Palmer, Seychelle Environmental Technologies, Inc., et. al. brought in the Superior Court for the State of California, San Diego County District. This case has been transferred to the Orange County Superior Court for the State of California with additional hearings scheduled during the third quarter. We anticipate that it will be resolved this fiscal year and believe that Seychelle will prevail.

In January 2012, the Company entered into a contract with a distributor in which it granted exclusive distribution rights for certain new product lines. Subsequently, there was a contract dispute that has resulted in a lawsuit titled Archette Wellness Group, dba Functional Water Technologies v. Seychelle Environmental Technologies, brought in the U.S. District Court, for the Central District of California, Southern Division. The Company believes it will prevail in this matter.
 
Otherwise, as of August 31, 2014, we know of no other legal proceedings pending or threatened, or judgments entered against the Company or any of its directors or officers in their capacity as such.
 
 
NOTE 9: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On September 4, 2014, 10,000 shares of restricted stock were issued by the Company to an employee. All shares of restricted stock were fully vested upon issuance.

Sales. Our customer concentration is constantly changing, which contributes toward much of the fluctuation in sales. The current period decrease in sales is primarily due to lower sales from our largest customers. Our largest customer accounted for 37% of sales during the three months ended August 31, 2014, compared to 34% of our sales during the three months ended August 31, 2013. Additionally, there was a decrease in sales from three other large customers who had accounted for 31% of sales for the three months ended August 31, 2013 and accounted for only 4% of our sales during the three months ended August 31, 2014.  Our largest customer accounted for approximately $374,000 in sales for the three months ended August 31, 2013, compared to $287,000 during the three months ended August 31, 2014 (a decrease of $87,000 or 23%). The three other large customers accounted for approximately $341,000 in sales for the three months ended August 31, 2013, compared to $33,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2014 (a decrease of $308,000 or 90%).   During the three months ended August 31, 2014, we shifted our focus toward building a broader customer base by hiring a national sales manager to develop stronger sales relationships with our current and potential customers, which will partially offset the decrease in sales from our largest customers. Management believes this action will positively impact our sales going forward.

Cost of sales and gross profit percentage. A portion of the decrease in cost of sales is a direct result of sales decreasing during the three month period ended August 31, 2014.  As a percentage of sales, the gross profit margin during the three months ended August 31, 2014 decreased from 46% to 43%.  During the three months ended August 31, 2013, the largest sale at the product line level was the Mission Packs, which produced sales of approximately $175,000 and carried a gross margin of approximately 49.6%.  During the three months ended August 31, 2014, there were no sales of Mission Packs due to ordering trends of one of our largest customers. However, during the three month period ended August 31, 2014, sales of new bottle lines (our 20-ounce RAD Advanced bottle and 28-ounce Extreme flip-top bottle), increased to approximately $238,000 (from nothing in the three months ending August 31, 2013). These bottles carried a gross margin of approximately 44.7%, which is 4.9% lower than our top-selling product’s gross margin for the three month period ended August 31, 2013.  Additionally, we had a customer during the three months ended August 31, 2014 that accounted for $108,000 or 14% of total sales for which we negotiated a price on a specific customized bottle with a gross margin of approximately 39%. Currently, that customer is only purchasing that single customized bottle. There were no sales to this customer or of this customized bottle during the three months ended August 31, 2013. The Company expects gross margins to return to fiscal 2013 levels due to revenue increases, which will result in a wider product mix that includes higher-margin products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. These expenses increased by approximately $506,000, or 143%, during the period ended August 31, 2014 compared to the same period ended in the prior year.  The increase was largely a result of the increase in legal costs incurred related to issues described in Note 8 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as well as additional personnel costs, including hiring a full time corporate controller and national sales manager (neither position was in place during the three months ended August 31, 2013) and a stock grant to an employee discussed in Note 3 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.  Additionally, as part of a strategic move to pursue a retail market for our products, we also incurred incremental  costs to develop product branding and packaging specific to retail. Lastly, we incurred moving costs during the three months ended August 31, 2014 relocating our production and customer service departments. The retail packaging and moving costs are expected to be non-recurring in future periods. We anticipate incurring additional legal costs through the end of our current fiscal year, but do not expect these costs to carry over into future years.

During the three month periods ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, payments totaling $24,000 and $29,500, respectively, were made to TAM Irrevocable Trust (“TAM”) for consulting services, in which Cari Beck, is a trustee as well as the daughter of the Company’s President.  

Depreciation and amortization expense.  Depreciation and amortization expense was relatively flat from period to period, but the slight increase is due to additional tooling and a Company vehicle being purchased during the periods.

Income tax expense (benefit).  The Company recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $206,000 due to the pretax loss of approximately $548,000 during the three month period ended August 31, 2014, compared to a provision of approximately $55,000 due to the pretax income of approximately $138,000 during the three month period ended August 31, 2013.
 
Net income (loss). Net loss for the three month period ended August 31, 2014 was $342,588, down 514% compared to net income of $82,774 for the three month period ended August 31, 2013.  This was primarily due to a decrease of approximately $396,000 in sales to our largest customers that accounted for an aggregate 65% of sales during the three month period ended August 31, 2013 and only 41% of sales for the three month period ended August 31, 2014.  Additionally, the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses discussed above contributed to the net loss during the three months ended August 31, 2014. We remain focused on the primary factors affecting our bottom line and look to improve the Company’s profitability in the upcoming periods during fiscal 2015 and future fiscal years.

Sales. Our customer concentration is constantly changing, which contributes toward much of the fluctuation in sales. The current period decrease in sales is primarily due to lower sales from a large customer, who accounted for approximately $747,000 or 28% of sales during the six months ended August 31, 2013 and approximately $27,000 or 1% of our sales during the six months ended August 31, 2014 (a decrease of $720,000 or 96%). This customer has historically placed large orders irregularly, and we expect to continue to sell to this customer in future periods.
 
Cost of sales and gross profit percentage. A portion of the decrease in cost of sales is a direct result of sales decreasing during the six month period ended August 31, 2014.  As a percentage of sales, the gross profit margin during the six months ended August31, 2014 decreased from 49% to 46%.   During the six months ended August 31, 2013, the largest sale at the product line level was the Mission Packs, which produced sales of approximately $682,000 and carried a gross margin of approximately 50.3%.  During the six months ended August 31, 2014, there were no sales of Mission Packs due to ordering trends of one of our largest customers. However, during the six month period ended August 31, 2014, sales of new bottle lines (our 20-ounce RAD Advanced bottle and 28-ounce Extreme flip-top bottle), increased to approximately $620,000 (from nothing in the six months ending August 31, 2013). These bottles carried a gross margin of approximately 46.4%, which is 3.9% lower than our top-selling product’s gross margin for the six month period ended August 31, 2013.  Additionally, we had a customer during the six months ended August 31, 2014 that accounted for $146,000 or 8% of total sales for which we negotiated a price on a specific customized bottle with a gross margin of approximately 41%. Currently, that customer is only purchasing that single customized bottle. There were no sales to this customer or of this customized bottle during the three months ended August 31, 2013. The Company expects gross margins to return to fiscal 2013 levels due to revenue increases, which will result in a wider product mix that includes higher-margin products.

 Selling, general and administrative expenses. These expenses increased by approximately $644,000, or 76%, during the period ended August 31, 2014 compared to the same period ended in the prior year.  The increase was largely a result of the increase in legal costs incurred related to issues described in Note 8 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as well as additional personnel costs, including hiring a full time corporate controller and national sales manager (neither role was in place during the period ended August 31, 2013) and a stock grant to an employee discussed in Note 3 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.  As part of a strategic move to pursue a retail market for our products, we also incurred additional incremental costs to develop product branding and packaging specific to retail.

The retail packaging and moving costs are expected to be non-recurring. We anticipate incurring additional legal costs through the end of our current fiscal year, but do not expect these costs to carry over into future years.

During the six month periods ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, payments totaling $74,000 and $80,200, respectively, were made to TAM Irrevocable Trust (“TAM”) for consulting services, in which Cari Beck, is a trustee as well as the daughter of the Company’s President. 

Depreciation and amortization expense.  Depreciation and amortization expense was relatively flat from period to period, but the slight increase is due to additional tooling and a Company vehicle being purchased during the periods.

Income tax expense (benefit).  The Company recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $244,000 due to the pretax loss of approximately $649,000 during the six month period ended August 31, 2014, compared to a provision of approximately $191,000 due to the pretax income of approximately $474,000 during the six month period ended August 31, 2013.
 
Net income (loss). Net loss for the six month period ended August 31, 2014 was $405,316, down 243% compared to net income of $283,088 for the six month period ended August 31, 2013.  This was primarily due to a decrease of approximately $720,000 in sales to a customer that accounted for 28% of sales during the six month period ended August 31, 2013 to $27,000 for the six month period ended August 31, 2014.  Additionally, the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses discussed above contributed to the net loss during the six months ended August 31, 2014. We remain focused on the primary factors affecting our bottom line and look to improve the Company’s profitability in the upcoming periods during fiscal 2015 and in future fiscal years.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities. During the six month period ended August 31, 2014, cash used in operating activities was approximately $396,000, primarily as the result of the net loss reported for the period of approximately $405,000, compared to cash provided by  operating activities of approximately $634,000 during the six month period ended August 31, 2013. Additionally, we made prepayments of approximately $24,000 on future expenses, reduced our customer deposit liabilities by approximately $17,000, and recorded a non-cash tax benefit of approximately $243,000. This was offset by  an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $51,000 and adding back non-cash expenses for stock based compensation and depreciation and amortization, the net of which was approximately $249,000.

Net cash used in investing activities. During the six month period ended August 31, 2014, the Company spent approximately $34,000 on capital expenditures and $150,000 for intangible assets. In the comparable period of the prior year, the Company spent approximately $21,000 on capital expenditures, net of $1,000 in proceeds from the sale of equipment, and approximately $1,000 for intangible assets.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities. Cash used in financing activities during the six month period ended August 31, 2014 was relatively consistent with the comparable period in the prior year.
 
As of August 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $2.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $500,000 available to borrow 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 to meet its operating needs through the balance of 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 2014 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. There were no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies or estimates during the six and three month periods ended August 31, 2014.
 
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. ASU 2013-11 provides guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss, or tax credit carryforward exists. This new standard requires the netting of unrecognized tax benefits (“UTBs”) against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carryforward that would apply in settlement of the uncertain tax positions. UTBs will be netted against all available same-jurisdiction loss or other tax carryforwards that would be utilized, rather than only against carryforwards that are created by the UTBs.  The Company adopted ASU-2013-11 on March 1, 2014, and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which requires entities to recognize revenue in the way it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers.  The ASU will replace most of the existing revenue recognition requirements in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective.  This pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period and is to be applied retrospectively, with early application not permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the effect that this pronouncement will have on our  consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.  
 
In August 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Preparation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. Under U.S. GAAP, continuation of a reporting entity as a going concern is presumed as the basis for preparing financial statements unless and until the entity's liquidation becomes imminent. Preparation of financial statements under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. If and when an entity's liquidation becomes imminent, financial statements should be prepared under the liquidation basis of accounting in accordance with Subtopic 205-30, Presentation of Financial Statements—Liquidation Basis of Accounting. Even when an entity's liquidation is not imminent, there may be conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. In those situations, financial statements should continue to be prepared under the going concern basis of accounting, but the amendments in this Update should be followed to determine whether to disclose information about the relevant conditions and events. The amendments in this Accounting Standards Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company will evaluate the going concern considerations in this ASU, however, at the current period, management does not believe that it has met conditions which would subject these condensed consolidated financial statements for additional disclosure.
 
Management does not believe any other recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

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.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
The Company previously reported that it was involved in a case titled Letty Garcia v. Carl Palmer, Seychelle Environmental Technologies, Inc., et. al. brought in the Superior Court for the State of California, San Diego County District. This case has been transferred to the Orange County Superior Court for the State of California with additional hearings scheduled during the third quarter. We anticipate that it will be resolved this fiscal year and believe that Seychelle will prevail.

In January 2012, the Company entered into a contract with a distributor in which it granted exclusive distribution rights for certain new product lines. Subsequently, there was a contract dispute that has resulted in a lawsuit titled Archette Wellness Group, dba Functional Water Technologies v. Seychelle Environmental Technologies, brought in the U.S. District Court, Central District of California, Southern Division. The Company believes it will prevail in this matter.

Otherwise, as of August 31, 2014, we know of no other legal proceedings pending or threatened, or judgments entered against the Company or any of our directors or officers in their capacity as such.
