SEYCHELLE ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF MAY 31, 2006

 
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of Seychelle Environmental Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) for the three month periods ended May 31, 2006 and May 31, 2005 have been prepared in conformity with the accounting principles described in the Company’s Annual Report o Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2006 (the “Annual Report”) and include all adjustments considered necessary by management for a fair statement of the interim periods. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring items. This report should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report. Due to seasonality and other factors, interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 
 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No.123R, Share-Based Payment, which addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method under APB Opinion No. 25, and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company's assessment of the estimated stock-based compensation expense is affected by the Company's stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex variables and the related tax impact. These variables include, but are not limited to, the Company's stock price, volatility, and employee stock option exercise behaviors and the related tax impact. The Company will recognize stock-based compensation expense on all awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period using the modified prospective method. The adoption of SFAS No. 123R effective March 1, 2006 had no effect on the Company's results of operations since there were no vested options at March 1, 2006 and there were no employee stock options issued during the current and prior fiscal three months ended May 31, 2006 and 2005. Future changes to various assumptions used to determine the fair value of awards issued or the amount and type of equity awards granted create uncertainty as to whether future stock-based compensation expense will be similar to the historical SFAS No. 123 pro forma expense.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OR OPERATIONS

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements regarding our Company, its business, prospects and results of operations that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties posed by many factors and events that could cause our actual business, prospects and results of operations to differ materially from those that may be anticipated by such forward-looking statements. Factors that may affect such forward-looking statements include, without limitation: our ability to successfully develop new products for new markets, the impact of competition on our revenues, changes in law or regulatory requirements that adversely affect or preclude customers from using our products for certain applications, delays in our introduction of new products or services, and our failure to keep pace with emerging technologies.

When used in this discussion, words such as "believes," "anticipates," "expects," "intends" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this document. We undertake no obligation to revise any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances that may subsequently arise. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this document and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business

 Description of the Business.

(a) Business Development 

History of Seychelle

We are a Nevada corporation. Our principal business address is 33012 Calle Perfecto, San Juan Capistrano, California 92675. Our telephone number at this address is 949-234-1999.

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 23, 1998 as a change of domicile of 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.

On January 31, 1998, we entered into a Purchase Agreement to acquire all of the assets of Aqua Vision International, a private California entity. This Purchase Agreement was amended on February 26, 1999 to provide for the issuance of 8,000 shares of Series "AAA" Cumulative Convertible Preferred Voting Stock in lieu of all consideration that had remained unpaid under the original Purchase Agreement. Aqua Vision International had been in operation since 1995 to develop, manufacture, and market its own proprietary water filtration systems.

10

 
 

 


Organization

Our Company is presently comprised of Seychelle Environmental Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation, with one subsidiary, Seychelle Water Technologies, Inc., also a Nevada corporation. We use the trade name, "Seychelle Water Filtration Products, Inc.," in our commercial operations.

(b) Business of Seychelle 

General

Seychelle designs and manufactures unique, state-of-the-art Ionic Adsorption Micron Filters that remove up to 99.8% of all pollutants and contaminants found in any fresh water source. Using breakthrough technology, Seychelle has also developed proprietary ozone systems. Patents or trade secrets cover all proprietary products. Since our bodies are 75% water and the quality of water worldwide continues to deteriorate, our mission is twofold: First, to help educate everyone to the fact that the quality of water they drink is important and second, to make available low-cost, effective filtration products that will meet the growing need for safe water.

Seychelle has sold over 2 million portable water filtration bottles throughout the world to customers such as individuals, dealers, and distributors - and to governments, military, agencies and emergency relief organizations such as the US Marine Corps, the International Red Cross, Eco-Challenge, Kenya Wild Life Service, La Cruz Roja de Mexico and the NY Institute for the Blind. In addition, the company has donated thousands of portable bottles to church groups and missionaries worldwide. Seychelle’s products are approved for sale and distribution in many countries including the US, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, Japan, China, Korea, India, Pakistan, Australia, UK, New Zealand, Malaysia, Indonesia and South Africa.

In 2001, the World Bank placed the value the world water market at close to $ 1 trillion annually. Bottled water, according to Water Facts, has emerged as the second largest commercial beverage category by volume in the US. However, Seychelle products compete in a more limited market: the portable and home filtration products segments.

In developing countries, many people in rural areas boil their water for drinking and cooking to kill bacteria, but this process does not remove the pyrogens, chemicals, toxins, and other elements that remain in the water. In Africa alone, according to Earth Prayers from around the world, approximately 6,000 people die every day because of water borne diseases.

Business Plan

The management of Seychelle represents over 35 years of combined experience in developing improvements and innovations in the field of micron technology. As a result, our products can deliver up to .2-micron filtration, at pennies per gallon, with pressure as low as 24 pounds per square inch. Further, our point of difference filtration systems remove up to 99.8% of all known pollutants and contaminants most commonalty found in fresh drinking water supplies in the four major areas of concern as follows:

AESTHETICS: Taste, odor, chlorine, sand, sediment and odor problems.
BIOLOGICS: Pathogens such as Cryptosporidium, Giardia and E-Coli bacteria.
CHEMICALS: Pesticides, detergents, toxic chemicals and industrial waste.
DISSOLVED SOLIDS: Heavy metals such as aluminum, asbestos, copper, lead, mercury and radon 222.
11

 
 

 

Seychelle filters have been tested by independent and government laboratories throughout the world and are approved for sale and distribution in the following countries: United States, Mexico, United Kingdom, Korea, Malaysia Indonesia, Japan, China, Vietnam, New Zeeland, Australia, Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina, South Africa, and Pakistan. In the United States, Seychelle filters have been certified by California and Florida approved independent laboratories implementing Environmental Protection Agency, American Natural Standards Institute, and National Sanitation Foundation protocol, procedures, standards and methodology. Importantly, we offer a test pack for potential customers that include the test results from selected countries. In addition, results from the United States, United Kingdom and South Africa are displayed our Website: www.seychelle.com. To our knowledge, no other water filtration system can achieve this level of removal of up to 99.8% of all known pollutants and contaminants most commonalty found in fresh drinking water supplies in the four major areas of concern. The benefit of such filtration can save lives worldwide as awareness of Seychelle’s product line increases.

Principal Products or Services and their Markets
 
Portables Products

Seychelle has a varied line of portable filters for people on the go. They include Flip Top’s, Bottom’s Up’s and varied military style canteens - regular or with silverators (for further bacteria control). Sizes are from 18oz to 30oz, and provide up to 100 gallons of pure drinking water from any fresh water source, running or stagnant (such as rivers, lakes, ponds, streams and puddles).
 
The current portable products include: Flip-Top, Survivor, Canteen, Bottoms UP, In-Line Eliminator, Pure Water Bag, Pump n’ Pure, Facial Mist and replacement filters.

Home Products

Seychelle technology has developed products for above the counter, below the counter, and to
filter the whole house. Installation is easy, and unlike reverse osmosis (RO), only a low PSI input line is needed. No water is wasted in the filtration process. Seychelle also makes a variety of shower filters.

The current home products include: Deluxe Shower, Handheld Shower, Royal Shower Wall Mount, Royal Shower Handheld, P.O.U. Countertop, P.O.E., Total Home and all replacement filters, and feature technology developed for portable products.

New Products

We are re-engineering the Flip Top bottle to eliminate parts, reduce costs, provide a more streamlined look, and add a disinfectant capability. The Counter Top has been upgraded to provide more enhanced filter media to improve the taste and quality of drinking water. Finally, the In-Line Filter is being changed to provide greater filter media, and meet field conditions that require a longer, narrower design.

We signed a License Agreement with Aqua Gear USA on June 6, 2002 for a product known as the "Hand Held Pump Technology." We licensed all proprietary rights associated with this technology. We will pay a 2% royalty on our gross income for the technology during the term of the license. The License Agreement is for an initial term of five years, with five successive five-year renewals. This offers us an additional proprietary product in the portable filtration industry.

12

 
 

 

We believe that this purchase compliments our current product line. As of the date of this filing, this technology has resulted in a product called Pump N’ Pure which allows the user to draw filtered water from virtually any container or location. The Company continues to believe that the product will be viable in developing countries as an emergency preparedness product, and for families where cost is a prime consideration.

During April 2006, the Company issued 50,000 common shares to shareholders of Continental Technologies, Inc. with an approximate value of $26,800 for the Redi Chlor brand name, trademark and the use of the EPA Registration Number 55304-4-7126. The agreement further agrees to remit Continental a ten percent commission on net sales as defined of the existing product, or any new products sold directly by the Seychelle, and ten percent on any product sold by Continental for Seychelle to their existing or new customers at Seychelle’s OEM prices. The agreement is of the life of Seychelle.

Manufacturing 

The Company has determined that we will be able to produce some of our product components in China at a lower cost than what could be made in the US. However, we anticipate that final assembly of our products will continue to be done in San Juan Capistrano.

In China the original manufacturing agreement with Heibei RO Environmental Technologies expired and was not renewed. Instead, the company signed an exclusive agreement with Huanghua Seychelle Plastic Co., Ltd on September 1, 2005.

Distribution Methods of the Products 

Sales channels to be pursued will include: Retail, Military, Government, Multi-Level Marketing, International, OEM and Joint Ventures.

Seychelle has signed product distribution agreements with Confident, Inc. for China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore and with ABMS Health Care for India and are exploring opportunities in other countries.

In Japan, Vortex represents Seychelle as a non-exclusive distributor selling our product line to dealers, distributors and retail stores.

We will also continue to promote our products and technologies to non-profit organizations, such as the Red Cross, the U.S. and international militaries, missionaries, charitable and fund-raising groups and other philanthropic organizations.

Sales. In the three-month period ending May 31, 2006, sales were $169,875 compared to the same period in the prior year with sales of $237,987. This decrease in sales is primarily attributable to decreased sales with two customers - approximately $59K sales to Wellness Enterprises and $70K to BK Pakistan. This decrease in sales was partially offset by the Company entering into a five (5) year exclusive distribution agreement with Confident, Inc. to sell its water filtration products in the markets of The Peoples Republic of China, Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong. During the three-month period ending May 31, 2006, total sales to Confident, Inc. and its affiliated entities approximated $30,000. Additionally, the Company increased sales with Healthy Directions LLC (from $7K in 2005 to $21K in 2006), Vortex Ltd. (from nil in 2005 to $9K in 2006) and Blackhawk Industries (from $1K in 2005 to $13K in 2006). In the fall of 2006, the company will be launching several new products that have undergone the extensive research and development, design, tooling and production steps required for commercialization prior to introduction. This was made possible by the exclusive plastic manufacturing agreement signed with Huanghua Seychelle Plastic Co., Ltd. in China. Also, the company is preparing a disaster-preparedness order with one of the new products for a test market by a vendor of a major retailer

Cost of sales and gross profit. In the three-month period ending May 31, 2006, cost of sales was $111,394 compared to the same period in the prior year with cost of sales of $76,975. Gross profit decreased to $58,481 compared to the same period in the prior year of $161,795. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 39% as compared to the same period in the prior year of 67%. This decrease in gross profit is primarily due to a change in sales mix, as the gross profit for sales to Wellness Enterprises and BK Pakistan approximated $105K during the three-month period ending May 31, 2005. The new products noted above have higher gross margins levels and will improve the overall gross profit as the products achieve significant sales levels.

General & administrative expenses. In the three-month period ending May 31, 2006, general and administrative expenses were $149,394 compared to the same period in the prior year of $132,295. This increase in general & administrative expenses was primarily to increased legal fees (from $8K in 2005 to $15K in 2006) and the reduction in prior year consulting expenses of $33K as a consultant surrendered to the Company 250,000 restricted common shares due to his non-performance of certain contractual obligations. This increase in general and administrative expenses was partially offset by a decrease in outside accounting assistance (from $88K in 2005 to $63K in 2006) as the Company incurred such costs to catch up on SEC filings at the beginning of the prior year.

Consulting fees to related parties. In the three-month period ending May 31, 2006, consulting fees to related parties were $35,000 compared to the same period in the prior year of $30,000. This increase in consulting fees was due to warrants issued to Messrs. Richard Parsons and Jim Place, during July 2005, redeemable into restricted shares of the Company’s stock at $.225 per share. As the warrants provide for the purchase of common stock at below the Company’s market price on the date of grant, the Company recorded unearned compensation relating to the estimated value of these warrants and is amortizing the beneficial conversion feature over the life of the warrants. The Company has recorded compensation expense of approximately $5,000 for the three-month period ending May 31, 2006,

Interest expense to related parties. In the three-month period ending May 31, 2006, interest expense to related parties were $75,582 compared to the same period in the prior year of $53,753. This increase in interest expense was primarily due to the amortization of the beneficial conversion feature of the warrants issued to the TAM Trust during July 2005. The Company has recorded interest expense of approximately $22,500 related to amortization of the July 2005 warrants for the three-month period ending May 31, 2006.

Net loss. Even though profits for the three-month period ending May 31, 2006 were negative by $217K, $78K in accounting and legal fees to assist in the audit and preparation of the Form 10 and other SEC filings, in addition to, $76K in financing costs with TAM the primary lender, the amortization of $35K in officer stock compensation were the primary reasons for the result.

Net cash used in operating activities. Net cash used in operating activities for the three-month period ending May 31, 2006 were $145,825 compared to the same period in the prior year of $70,274. During the three-month period ending May 31, 2006, the Company funded its operations through funds previously obtained by sale of restricted common stock. During the three-month period ending May 31, 2006, the net loss from operations of $217K was offset by $111K non-cash expenditures. These non-cash expenses primarily relate to $66K in financing costs and the amortization of $35K in officer stock compensation.

Net cash used in investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the three-month period ending May 31, 2006 were $1,283 compared to the same period in the prior year of $25,435. The 2005 increase in cash used by investment activities was primarily due to the purchase of $25K in equipment and tooling.

Net cash used in financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three-month period ending May 31, 2006 was $13,750 compared to the same period in the prior year of $512,745. The 2005 cash provided by financing activities was due to the sale of $537K in restricted common stock, which was partially reduced by $25K repayment of related party advances.

Liquidity and capital resources.

As of May 31, 2006, the Company had $502,210 in cash and $50,000 available borrowing under its line of credit. The line of credit does not contain any limitations on borrowing or any restrictive debt covenants. Over the next twelve months, management is confident that sufficient working capital will be obtained from a combination of revenues and external financing to meet the Company’s liabilities and commitments as they become payable.

The Company currently estimates monthly cash requirements of $26,000 to cover general and administrative overhead costs.

Consequently, we do not foresee the need for additional funding at least for the period ending May 31, 2007. As of the date of this filing, the TAM Irrevocable Trust has expressed a willingness to provide additional funding if required; however, an amount has not been discussed. Moreover, in the foreseeable future the Company does not believe additional funding is required.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to impairment of long-lived assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, sales returns, inventory reserves, impairment of long-lived assets, deferred income tax valuation allowances and litigation. In addition, alternatives may exist among various accounting methods. In such cases, the choice of accounting method may also have a significant impact on reporting amounts. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that the application of the following accounting policies, which are important to our financial position and results of operations, requires significant judgments and estimates on the part of management. These accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this filing and in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2006.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  

In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), an evaluation was carried out by the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the quarter ended May 31, 2006.  For the quarter ended May 31, 2006, management has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls are not effective. Management has continued the process of formal remediation and hopes to soon conclude that the Company’s disclosure controls are effective.  

Changes in Internal Controls

We previously reported in Item 8A- "Controls and Procedures" in our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended February 28, 2006, material weaknesses in internal controls. There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in its factors that could significantly affect those controls since the most recent evaluation of such controls. However, the Company hired an accountant in July with the goal of strengthening its disclosure controls and procedures in time for the next 10QSB filing for the second quarter ending August 31, 2006. This step should allow the Company to conclude that its disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
During May 2001, Seychelle Water Technologies, Inc. was named and served with a lawsuit originally filed by SafeWater Anywhere, Inc. and John Ferguson as plaintiffs. This lawsuit was filed in State Superior Court in Orange County, California. Mr. Carl Palmer was also named as a defendant. The complaint alleged breach of fiduciary duty, constructive fraud, promissory fraud,
rescission, constructive trusts, unfair trade practices, and conversion, and sought unspecified damages and injunctive relief. The original suit was dismissed upon motion of the defendants, but was subsequently re-filed by John M. Ferguson individually on or about October 13, 2004. The re-filed suit was again brought against Seychelle Water Technologies, Inc. and Carl Palmer, and again alleges breach of fiduciary duty, constructive fraud, promissory fraud, rescission, constructive trust, unfair trade practices, and conversion, and seeks unspecified damages and injunctive relief. Plaintiff essentially alleges that defendants Seychelle Water Technologies, Inc. (hereafter “Seychelle Water”) and Carl Palmer fraudulently induced plaintiff to enter into an agreement to relinquish 4,000,000 shares of the stock of defendant Seychelle Water. Plaintiff alleges that he originally entered into a joint venture and stock subscription agreement with DuSean Berkich (“Berkich”), pursuant to which Berkich and plaintiff formed and controlled Seychelle Water. Plaintiff alleges that when he discovered certain improprieties by Berkich, he became concerned, and ultimately agreed to the (re)purchase by Berkich of his interest in the Seychelle Water stock. Plaintiff is now suing to recover damages he allegedly suffered as a result of the (re)purchase by Berkich of his interest in Seychelle Water. A demurrer to the re-filed complaint was filed and in response a first amended complaint was filed and served. A second demurrer to the First Amended Complaint has been filed and sustained by the Court, and plaintiff has been granted fourteen days leave to amend. A second amended complaint has now been filed and answered. We continue to believe that this matter is without merit and intend to vigorously defend against plaintiff’s claims.

As of May 31, 2006, we know of no legal proceedings pending or threatened or judgments entered against any of our directors or officers in his or her capacity as such.
