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 May 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 May 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 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, 2014 consolidated financials included in the 10-K filed on May 23, 2014.
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 (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 periods ended May 31, 2014 and 2013 did not include warrants as they would have been anti-dilutive. At May 31, 2014 and 2013, 5,464,694 and 3,374,888 warrants, respectively, were excluded from the denominator for diluted income (loss) per share.

During the three month period ending May 31, 2014, the Company paid a $100,000 deposit to TAM for a future purchase of intellectual property retained by TAM when the Company was incorporated in 1998.

ITEM 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 Seychelle Environmental Technologies, Inc., and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of and for the three month periods ended May 31, 2014 and 2013. 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-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2014. 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.
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;

Description of the Business
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 23, 1998 as a change of domicile to Royal Net, Inc., a Utah corporation that was originally incorporated on January 24, 1986. Royal Net, Inc. changed its state of domicile to Nevada and its name to Seychelle Environmental Technologies, Inc. effective in January 1998.
On January 30, 1998, we entered into an Exchange Agreement with Seychelle Water Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (SWT), whereby we exchanged our issued and outstanding capital shares with the shareholders of SWT on a one share for one share basis. We became the parent company and SWT became a wholly owned subsidiary. SWT had been formed in 1997 to market water filtration systems of Aqua Vision International.
Our Company is presently comprised of Seychelle Environmental Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation, with two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Seychelle Water Technologies, Inc. and Fill 2 Pure International, Inc., also Nevada corporations (collectively, the Company or Seychelle). We use the trade name "Seychelle Water Filtration Products, Inc." in our commercial operations.

Sales. The decrease in sales is primarily due to lower sales from one customer who had accounted for 32% of sales for the three month ended May 31, 2014. This customer accounted for approximately $520,000 in sales for the three months ended May 31, 2013, compared to $6,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2014. This customer primarily purchased our Mission Pack product, sales of which decreased to zero in the three months ending May 31, 2014. The timing of this customer’s purchase of Mission Packs is irregular, and the decrease in sales during the three months ended May 31, 2014 was primarily related to this customer’s and product’s specific decrease. During the three months ended May 31, 2014, sales of new bottle lines (our 20-ounce RAD Advanced bottle and 28-ounce Extreme flip-top bottle), increased to approximately $362,000 (from nothing in the three months ending May 31, 2013). We have seen increased demand for these types of bottles and expect to continue to see increased sales in the future. Continued increase for these two products and other new products ready for introduction in the second quarter will help to increase the customer base and lessen the dependency on the impact of our other significant customers.
10
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 May 31, 2014. As a percentage of sales, the gross profit margin during the three months ended May 31, 2014 decreased from 51% to 49%. . During the three months ended May 31, 2013, the largest sale at the product line level was the Mission Packs, which produced sales of approximately $507,000 and carried a gross margin of approximately 49.6%. During the three months ended May 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 May 31, 2014, sales of new bottle lines (our 20-ounce RAD Advanced bottle and 28-ounce Extreme flip-top bottle), increased to approximately $362,000 (from nothing in the three months ending May 31, 2013). These bottles carried a gross margin of approximately 44.1%, which is 5.5% lower than our top-selling product’s gross margin for the three-month period ended May 31, 2013. The decrease in gross margin of our top selling products during the three month period ended May 31, 2014 compared to the same period in the prior year was the major driver in the decrease in gross margin. However, the new products had to bear a disproportionate share of the overhead due to the lower overall sales achieved for the first quarter. The product mix and timing of significant sales is always a significant factor in the resulting profit margins reported. The Company expects the gross margin percentages to remain at approximately 50% in the foreseeable future and anticipates increases in the gross margins on all new products as the sales improve from both new products and new markets.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. These expenses increased by approximately $137,000, or 28%, during the period ended May 31, 2014 compared to the same period ended in the prior year. The increase was largely a direct result of the increase in legal costs incurred as well as personnel costs, including discretionary bonuses to executive management 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 accommodate expected profitable sales growth, we leased additional space for our production and warehousing to a new location, and incurred additional rent expense during the three month period ending May 31, 2014. The lease on the production warehouse we are vacating expired on June 30, 2014. These legal, personnel, and additional rent expenses are not expected to be recurring.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense was relatively flat from period to period, but the slight increase is due to additional tooling being purchased during the periods.
Income tax expense (benefit). The Company recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $38,000 due to the pretax loss of approximately $101,000 during the three-month period ended May 31, 2014, compared to a provision of approximately $136,000 due to the pretax income of approximately $336,000 during the three-month period ended May 31, 2013.
Net income (loss). Net loss for the three-month period ended May 31, 2014 was $62,728, down 131% compared to net income of $200,314 for the three-month period ended May 31, 2013. This was primarily due to a decrease of approximately $520,000 in sales to a customer that accounted for 32% of sales during the three-month period ended May 31, 2013 to $6,000 for the three-month period ended May 31, 2014. Additionally, the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses discussed above contributed to the net loss during the three-months ended May 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 as noted previously in both the sales and cost of sales/gross profit percentage sections. .
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities. During the three-month period ended May 31, 2014, cash used in operating activities was approximately $249,000, primarily as the result of the net loss reported for the period of approximately $63,000, compared to cash provided by operating activities of approximately $631,000 during the three-month period ended May 31, 2013. Additionally, we made prepayments of approximately $185,000 on future expenses, increased our inventory by approximately $40,000, and reduced our accounts payable, accrued expense, and customer deposit liabilities by approximately $59,000. This was offset by adding back non-cash expenses for stock based compensation and depreciation and amortization, the net of which was approximately $136,000.
Net cash used in investing activities. During the three-month period ended May 31, 2014, the Company spent approximately $11,000 on capital expenditures. In the comparable period of the prior year, the Company spent approximately $6,000 on capital expenditures, net of $1,000 in proceeds from the sale of equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities. Cash used in financing activities during the three month period ended May 31, 2014 was relatively consistent with the comparable period in the prior year.
As of May 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $2.7 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 three-month period ended May 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.
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 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
None.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Not applicable.
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.
