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
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, 2015, 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, 2015.  The results of operations for the periods ended May 31, 2015 and 2014 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, 2015 consolidated financials included in the 10-K filed on May 29, 2015.

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 period ended May 31, 2014 did not include warrants as they would have been anti-dilutive. At May 31, 2015 and 2014, 5,446,137 and 5,464,694 warrants, respectively, were excluded from the denominator for diluted income (loss) per share.

During the three month periods ended May 31, 2015 and 2014, payments totaling $50,000, 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.  

During the three month period ended May 31, 2015, TAM Trust purchased, on behalf of the Company, $185,000 of raw materials, and paid $3,500 for related tooling to a vendor with which it already had a business relationship. The Company reimbursed TAM Trust for these outlays in full during the three months ended May 31, 2015.

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. This deposit is included in prepaid expenses, deposits and other current assets on the May 31, 2014 condensed consolidated balance sheet.   On June 16, 2014,  a final purchase price for this intellectual property of $150,000 was agreed upon.

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 trial date set for September 2015.

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.

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.

Sales. The increase in sales to $2.3 million during the three months ended May 31, 2015 from $1.1 million during the three months ended May 31, 2014 (112%) is primarily due the launch of our pH2O product line, which increases the alkalinity of municipal water to between 8.0-9.5 pH. Sales during the three months ended May 31, 2015 of this product line were approximately $1.0 million, compared to nothing in the comparable period 2014. Additionally, we had one customer (who has not purchased any product from the pH2O line) that has developed a private label pitcher and bottle, and significantly increased their distribution line, with sales increasing from $46,000 during the three months ended May 31, 2014 to $576,000 during the three months ended May 31, 2015. As we expand our distribution of the pH2O product line, and continue to strengthen relationships with existing customers, we anticipate improvement in sales volume to continue into subsequent quarters.

Cost of sales and gross profit percentage. As a percentage of sales, the gross profit margin during the three months ended May 31, 2015 increased from 49% to 54%. The largest increase to our sales was directly related to the launch of our aforementioned pH2O product line. We are selling this product with strict minimum order quantities that allow us to achieve greater profit margins, averaging 68% during the three months ended May 31, 2015.  Additionally, our National Sales Manager (a position created and filled subsequent to the three months ended May 31, 2014), introduced a Minimum Advertised Pricing policy during the three months ended May 31, 2015 that has allowed us to increase our margins with customers who market our product online, as well as increased sales prices on our own website store. Comparatively, the largest product line by revenue during the three months ended May 31, 2014 was our 20-ounce RAD Advanced bottle and 28-ounce Extreme flip-top bottle, which had sales of approximately $362,000 and carried a gross margin of approximately 44%.  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.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses. These expenses decreased by approximately $82,000, or 13%, during the period ended May 31, 2015 compared to the same period ended in the prior year.  The decrease was largely a direct result of the decrease 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 rent expense on both the new and old location for two months of the three month period ending May 31, 2014. We expect the selling, general and administrative expenses incurred during the three month period ended May 31, 2015 to remain relatively stable for the remainder of the fiscal year.
 
Depreciation and amortization expense.  Depreciation and amortization expense was relatively flat from period to period, but the slight decrease is due to additional certain fixed assets being disposed of or becoming fully depreciated in the prior year.
 
Income tax expense (benefit).  The Company recorded income tax provision of approximately $245,000 due to the pretax income of approximately $718,000 during the three-month period ended May 31, 2015 compared to a benefit of approximately $38,000 due to the pretax loss of approximately $101,000 during the three-month period ended May 31, 2014.
 
Net income (loss). Net income for the three-month period ended May 31, 2015 was $472,498, up $535,226 or 853% compared to net loss of $62,728 for the three-month period ended May 31, 2014.  This was primarily due to an increase of approximately $1.2 million in sales. We remain focused on the primary factors affecting our bottom line and look to continue to improve the Company's profitability in the upcoming periods during fiscal 2016 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, 2015, cash used in operating activities was approximately $641,000, compared to $249,000 in the same period during 2014. This was primarily as the result of our net income of approximately $472,000 offset by paying in full $532,000 in legal and settlement expenses related to the Archette case described in Note 8.  Additionally, the Company's sales to customers on net 30 payment terms increased, causing accounts receivable to increase approximately $411,000. This was also offset by the utilization of approximately $74,000 of customer deposits paid in prior periods and the add-back of non-cash expenses for stock based compensation and depreciation and amortization, the net of which was approximately $77,000.
 
Net cash used in investing activities. During the three-month periods ended May 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company spent approximately $11,000 on capital expenditures.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities. Cash used in financing activities during the three month period ended May 31, 2015 was relatively consistent with the comparable period in the prior year.
 
As of May 31, 2015, the Company had approximately $862,000 in cash and cash equivalents and $695,000 in trade accounts receivable. The Company believes it has liquidity to meet its operating needs through the balance of fiscal 2016.

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 2015 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, 2015.

On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"), which is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The new revenue recognition standard provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle 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. ASU 2014-09 shall be applied retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on the consolidated financial statements and has not yet determined the method by which the Company will adopt the standard in fiscal 2018.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern—Disclosures of Uncertainties about an entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern ("ASU 2014-15") . ASU 2014-15 provides new guidance related to management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards and to provide related footnote disclosures. This new guidance is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. The requirements of ASU 2014-15 are not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

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.

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 trial set for September 2015. 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. This case was settled on March 4, 2015, and such amount was fully provided for as of February 28, 2015.

Otherwise, as of May 31, 2015, 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.
