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, 2017, 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, 2017. The results of operations for the periods ended May 31, 2017 and 2016 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, 2017 consolidated financials included in the 10-K filed on June 14, 2017.
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: MANAGEMENT'S PLAN

NOTE 3: 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, 2017 did not include warrants as they would have been anti-dilutive. At May 31, 2017 and 2016, 6,407,221 warrants were excluded from the denominator for diluted income (loss) per share.

NOTE 8: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In 2016, 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. The Company sub leases its facility in San Juan Capistrano, CA.
NOTE 9: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated subsequent events from May 31, 2017 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.
NOTE 10: INCOME TAX
The Company expects its effective tax rate for the 2018 fiscal year to be different from the federal statutory rate due primarily to a change in valuation allowance.
We recorded a provision for income taxes of $4,252 for the quarter ended May 31, 2017, related to federal and state taxes, based on the Company's expected annual effective tax rate.
Management evaluated the need for a full valuation allowance at the end of the quarter ended May 31, 2017. Management evaluated both positive and negative evidence. The weight of negative factors and level of economic uncertainty in our current business continued to support the conclusion that the realization of our deferred tax assets does not meet the more likely than not standard. Therefore, a full valuation allowance will remain against the net deferred tax assets.
Our federal income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the fiscal years ended February 2014 through 2017. We are subject to income tax in California and various other state taxing jurisdictions. Our state income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the fiscal years ended February 2014 through 2017.

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, 2017 and 2016. 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, 2017. 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 fiscal 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. |

Sales. Sales increased by approximately $309,000 or 34% to $1,208,000 during the three months ended May 31, 2017 from $899,000 during the three months ended May 31, 2016. The increase is primarily due to increasing sales of our bottle, portable retail, pitcher replacement and pitcher custom product line. Sales during the three months ended May 31, 2016 of this product line were approximately $602,000, compared to $932,000 in the comparable current period 2017.
Cost of sales and gross profit percentage. As a percentage of sales, the gross profit margin during the three months ended May 31, 2017 increased to 45% from 35%. 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 expenses. These expenses decreased by approximately $641,000, or (64%), during the period ended May 31, 2017 compared to the same period ended in the prior year. The decrease was largely a direct result of the decrease in legal and personnel costs incurred in a restructuring of the Company's management and Board of Directors.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense was decreased due to disposal of fixed assets over the past year.
Income tax expense (benefit). The Company recorded provision of approximately $4,200 due to a pretax income of approximately $164,000 during the three month period ended May 31, 2017 compared to income tax benefit of approximately $285,000 due to the pretax loss of approximately $713,000 during the three-month period ended May 31, 2016 .

Net income (loss). Net income for the three-month period ended May 31, 2017 was approximately $160,000, up approximately $588,000 or 137% compared to loss for the three-month period ended May 31, 2016 of $427,600. This was primarily due to an increase of approximately $309,000 in sales and a decrease of approximately $641,000 in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Net cash provided by operating activities. During the three-month period ended May 31, 2017 cash provided by operating activities was approximately $620,000, compared to cash used in operating activities was approximately $1,272,000 the same period during 2016. This was primarily the result of our net income of approximately $160,000, paying approximately $136,000 in accounts payable, payment of prepaid expenses of $25,000 and customer deposit of approximately $10,000. This was offset by net collection on accounts receivable of $320,000 and add back of non- cash expenses for depreciation of approximately $18,000, bad debt recovery of $36,000, inventories of $255,000 and income tax payable of $149,000.
Net cash used in investing activities. During the three-month periods ended May 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company spent approximately $2,990 and $23,000, respectively, on capital expenditures.
Management's Plan. As of May 31, 2017, the Company had $1,347,200 in cash and cash equivalents, $464,000 in accounts receivable and a backlog of $325,200 in unshipped product. This year, Seychelle has expanded its sales efforts in the following international markets; Mexico, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and China . It's our intention to expand our marketing activities more strongly to the international market and E-commerce. In addition, Seychelle is managing cost in line with current revenue.
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 2017 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, 2017.
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, 2017. 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 year 2019.

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 Company adopted ASU 2014-15 during the current fiscal year ended February 28, 2017.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," which will require lessees to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. Classification will be based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in current lease accounting, but without explicit bright lines. Lessor accounting is similar to the current model, but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting . The amendments in this update change existing guidance related to accounting for employee share-based payments affecting the income tax consequences of awards, classification of awards as equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of this standard.
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
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; and |
| ● | 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. |

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, 2017.
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, 2017:
| (1) | lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of 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; and |
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 quarter ended May 31, 2017.
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.
This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.
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.
