NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED (UNAUDITED) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED 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 consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of May 31, 2019, 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 (“U.S. GAAP”) 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, 2019. The results of operations for the periods ended May 31, 2019 and 2018 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 the condensed consolidated financial statements and the February 28, 2019 consolidated financials included in the 10-K filed on May 29, 2019.
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.
Except for the accounting policy for Leases, which was updated as a result of adopting a new accounting standard, there have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies in Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2019.
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which amended the existing accounting standards for lease accounting to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. We adopted the standard effective March 1, 2019. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for periods presented before March 1, 2019 as these prior periods conform to the Accounting Standards Codification 840. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard. By adopting these practical expedients, we were not required to reassess (1) whether an existing contract meets the definition of a lease; (2) the lease classification for existing leases; or (3) costs previously capitalized as initial direct costs. We evaluated all leases within this scope under existing accounting standards and under the new ASU lease standard recognized approximately $580,000 of operating right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Other required disclosures include:
Weighted average lease term | 5 years | ||
Weighted average lease rate | 6.25% |
Future minimum payments on the operating lease liability are as follows:
2019 | $147,509 | ||
2020 | $258,181 | ||
2021 | $153,209 | ||
Total | $558,899 |
The FASB issued an accounting standards update that creates a single source of revenue guidance under U.S. GAAP for all companies, in all industries. We adopted this guidance on February 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 5 of these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

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, assuming conversion, exercise, or issuance of all potential common stock equivalents unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase the income per share. If the inclusion of common stock equivalents in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding would be anti-dilutive these items would be omitted from the calculation of net income per common share. 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 three months ended May 31, 2018 included 2,336,683 warrants.

NOTE 5: REVENUE RECOGNITION AND CONCENTRATIONS
We derive our revenue primarily from product sales. We determine revenue recognition through the following steps: (1) identification of the contract with a customer; (2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determination of the transaction price; (4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; (5) recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.
The Company’s performance obligations consist solely of product shipped to customers. Revenue from product sales is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for these products. Revenue is recognized net of returns and any taxes collected from customers. We offer standard contractual terms in our purchase orders. In addition, we use the practical expedient related to commissions paid since they would be amortized in less than one year.
Sales to four customers accounted for 79% sales for the three month period ended May 31, 2019. Accounts receivable from these customers accounted to approximately $274,000 or 93% of accounts receivable as of May 31, 2019.
Sales to three customers accounted for 71% of sales for the three month period ended May 31, 2018. Accounts receivable from these customers accounted to approximately $532,000 or 71% of accounts receivable as of May 31, 2018.

NOTE 6: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company utilizes the services of an individual, who is a related party, to source materials and provide the manufacturing of component parts with third-party vendors in China. For the three months ended May 31, 2019 and 2018, purchases facilitated through the related party accounted for approximately 41% and 20%, respectively, of total raw material purchases. The Company paid approximately $9,000 and $16,000 in direct commissions to the related party consultant during the three months ended May 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
The Company had advanced amounts to employee of approximately $26,000 and $27,000 as of May 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. These amounts are being repaid through direct payroll withdrawals.
The Company had sales to two companies related to a former member of the Board of Directors. Specifically, sales to Sovereign Earth, LLC (dba Revolve) totaled approximately $204,000 and $271,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively and sales to Amazon Seychelle totaled approximately $125,000 and $34,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Pursuant to the agreement with the Company, Sovereign Earth, LLC is the sole and exclusive seller of the certain Seychelle products in specified Amazon world markets.
NOTE 7: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company entered into a lease agreement on one facility for its corporate offices, inventory and production at 22 Journey in Aliso Viejo, CA for a term of 5 years at a monthly rental of approximately $19,000.
Legal Proceedings
There is a pending legal action named Rolling Tides, LLC vs. Carl Palmer, Seychelle Environmental Technologies, Inc., and other defendants. The case was brought in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Orange. The action alleges certain fraudulent transfers occurred from Seychelle to the various defendants. The plaintiffs have refused to identify any such transfers by date or amount. The matter is in discovery and trial is set for August, 2019. All the defendants have denied the allegations of the complaint, and are vigorously defending the matter. It is not likely that the case will be settled without trial. The Company believes that the case has no merit.
Licenses
The Company has historically entered into licensing agreements with third-parties for product proprietary rights, patent and trademark ownership, and use of product name. In return, the Company agrees to pay licensing fees and/or royalties on sales of those products. During the three months ended May 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company paid $3,080 and $1,037, respectively, in royalties and licensing fees related under these agreements.
NOTE 8: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated subsequent events from May 31, 2019 through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, and has concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 9: INCOME TAX
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "TCJA"). The TCJA makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, including, but not limited to, reducing the U.S. statutory corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, effective January 1, 2018. U.S. GAAP requires that deferred income tax assets and liabilities be remeasured at the income tax rate expected to apply when those temporary differences reverse, and that the effects of any change to such income tax rate be recognized in the period when the change was enacted.
In connection with the Company's initial analysis of the impact of the TCJA, the Company recorded a discrete net tax expense of $282,408 in the year ended February 28, 2018. This net expense is primarily due to the remeasurement of the Company's existing deferred tax assets and liabilities. Due to the Company having a full valuation allowance related to their deferred taxes, the $282,408 discrete tax expense associated with the remeasurement was equally offset by the valuation allowance causing an overall net zero impact on the Company's current tax rate.
The SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118"), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the TCJA. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the TCJA enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740. To the extent that a company's accounting for certain income tax effects of the TCJA is incomplete but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate in the financial statements.
The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of February 28, 2019 and 2018 was $674,924 and $611,182, respectively. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more-likely-than-notthat 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, projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment. It was determined that it was more likely than not that a full valuation allowance was necessary as of February 28, 2019.
At February 28, 2019, the Company had unused net operating loss carryovers of approximately $770,000 and $1,198,000 for federal and state tax purposes, respectively, which expire beginning in 2038. Note that any federal net operating loss carryovers from 2018 have an indefinite carryforward period. This was part of the legislation passed as part of the TCJA.
The Company includes interest and penalties, if any, arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations in the provision for income taxes. As of February 28, 2019, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The tax years that remain subject to examination by major taxing jurisdictions are fiscal years 2015 through 2018 for federal purposes and fiscal years 2014 through 2018 for state purposes.
We recorded a provision for income taxes of $800 for the quarter ended May 31, 2019 related to state taxes, based on the Company’s expected annual effective tax rate.

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, 2019 and 2018. 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, 2019. 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; |
(3) | the Company's cost of sales may be materially affected by increases in the market prices of the raw materials used in the Company's assembly processes; |
(4) | the Company's dependence on a few customers. Sales to these customers are unpredictable and difficult to estimate, and as such, may result in material fluctuations in sales from period to period. Management believes that if future revenues from its significant customers decline, those revenues can be replaced through the sales to other customers. However, there can be no assurance that this will occur, which could result in an adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations in the future; |
(4) | the Company's water related product sales could be materially affected by weather conditions and government regulations; |
(5) | the Company is subject to the risks of conducting business internationally; and |
(6) | the industries in which the Company operates are highly competitive. Additional risks and uncertainties are outlined in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. |

Sales. Sales decreased by approximately $454,000 or (40)% to $680,000 during the three months ended May 31, 2019 from approximately $1,134,000 during the three months ended May 31, 2018. The decrease is due to typical seasonal variations of sales of our bottle, portable retail, pitcher replacement and pitcher custom product lines. Sales during the three months ended May 31, 2018 of these product lines were approximately $780,000, compared to $439,000 in the comparable current period of fiscal year 2019.
Cost of sales and gross profit percentage. As a percentage of sales, the gross profit margin during the three months ended May 31, 2019 increased to approximately 58% from approximately 47%. The product mix and timing of significant sales is always a significant factor in the resulting profit margins reported. The Company believes that the average gross margin percentages overall will remain at approximately 45% in the foreseeable future.
Selling, general, and administrative. These expenses decreased by approximately $90,000, or (21)%, during the period ended May 31, 2019 compared to the same period ended in the prior year due to decrease in advertising, legal and merchant fees.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased due to fully depreciated fixed assets.
Income tax expense. The Company recorded a provision of approximately $800 due to a pretax income of approximately $48,000 during the three month period ended May 31, 2019 compared to income tax provision of approximately $0 due to the pretax income of approximately $93,000 during the three-month period ended May 31, 2018.
Net income. Net income for the three-month period ended May 31, 2019 was approximately $48,000, down approximately $44,000 or (48)% compared to net income for the three-month period ended May 31, 2018 of approximately $93,000. This was primarily due to a decrease of approximately $454,000 in sales.
Net cash used for operating activities. During the three-month period ended May 31, 2019 cash provided by operating activities amounted to approximately $103,000, compared to cash used by operating activities of approximately $15,000 in the comparable prior period.
Net cash used in investing activities. During the three-month period ended May 31, 2019, the Company spent approximately $4,900 on capital expenditures.
Net cash used in financing activities. Cash used in financing activities during the three month period ended May 31, 2019 totaled approximately $1,400, compared to approximately $1,300 during the comparable prior period. This was a result of the capital lease repayments during the three month period ended May 31, 2019 of $1,400 compared to $1,300 during the three month period ended May 31, 2018.
Management's Plan. As of May 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $2,175,000 in cash and cash equivalents, $294,000 in accounts receivable and a backlog of $306,600 in unshipped product. The Company is continuing to develop products and improve technology. The Company plans to release a variety of new products in the upcoming months that include Thermal Bottles, new ergonomic loop cap, universal design style replacement filter, combination straw and bottle product that removes up to 500 gallons of pathogen.

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 2019 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, 2019.
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Updated ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, issued as a new Topic, ASC Topic 606 ("ASU 2014-09"). The new revenue recognition standard provides a give-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The premise of the standard is that a Company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company has elected to adopt the guidance beginning in fiscal 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which amended the existing accounting standards for lease accounting to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. We adopted the standard effective March 1, 2019. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for periods presented before March 1, 2019 as these prior periods conform to the Accounting Standards Codification 840. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard. By adopting these practical expedients, we were not required to reassess (1) whether an existing contract meets the definition of a lease; (2) the lease classification for existing leases; or (3) costs previously capitalized as initial direct costs. We evaluated all leases within this scope under existing accounting standards and under the new ASU lease standard recognized approximately $580,000 of operating right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses,” which will require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating this statement and its impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.
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
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file with the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As required by Rule 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our principal executive and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company's financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and includes those policies and procedures that:
● | pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; |
● | provide reasonable assurance that the transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; |
● | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements; |
16 |
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.
Management has used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, known as COSO, to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of May 31, 2019.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses at May 31, 2019:
(1) | lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of any outside directors on the Company's Board of Directors capable to oversee the audit function; |
(2) | inadequate segregation of duties due to limited number of personnel, which makes the reporting process susceptible to management override; |
(3) | insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; |
(4) | ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes; |
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (1) through (4) above did not have an effect on the Company's financial reporting during the period ended May 31, 2019.
We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, we plan to prepare and implement sufficient written policies and checklists which will set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.
We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during our first fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There is a pending legal action named Rolling Tides, LLC vs. Carl Palmer, Seychelle Environmental Technologies, Inc., and other defendants. The case was brought in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Orange. The action alleges certain fraudulent transfers occurred from Seychelle to the various defendants. The plaintiffs have refused to identify any such transfers by date or amount. The matter is in discovery and trial is set for August, 2019. All the defendants have denied the allegations of the complaint, and are vigorously defending the matter. It is not likely that the case will be settled without trial. The Company believes that the case has no merit.
