BBJ Environmental Technologies, Inc., formerly known as Omega Development, Inc., was a development stage enterprise formed under the laws of the State of Nevada to evaluate, structure and complete a business combination in the form of a merger with, or acquisition of, prospects consisting of private companies, partnerships or sole proprietorships. In June 2000, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of BBJ Environmental Solutions, Inc., a Florida corporation organized in 1993 (“BBJ Environmental Solutions”). As a result, BBJ Environmental Technologies is a holding company for BBJ Environmental Solutions, its operating subsidiary.
BBJ Environmental Solutions is an early stage development company that develops, manufactures, and markets products and devices that control and remove mold and other contamination in indoor environments. We have developed technologies that are especially effective in preventing air pollution originating from heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, and refrigeration systems of homes, offices, health care facilities, schools, industrial plants and public buildings. Consequently, our products are effective in promoting good indoor air quality and indoor environment quality. Our leading technology is the BBJ MicroBiocide® product family. These products are registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) for controlling and inhibiting bacterial and fungal growth in both building interiors and air-conditioning and air duct systems.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Introduction
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 15, 1988 under the name Lewison Enterprises, Inc. On January 19, 1994, our name changed to Omega Development, Inc. and to BBJ Environmental Technologies, Inc. on June 1, 2000. Effective June 1, 2000, we acquired 100% of the then outstanding common stock and preferred stock of BBJ Environmental Solutions, Inc.
Forward – Looking Statements
This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) such as statements relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business operations. These statements relate to expectations concerning matters that are not historical fact. Accordingly, forward-looking statements are based on management’s projections, estimates, judgments and assumptions (some of which are beyond the control of the Company) and are typically identified by reference to a future period or periods, or by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “estimates,” “approximately,” “intend,” and other similar words and phrases, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” “could,” and “may.” These forward-looking statements are based largely on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates, judgments and projections about our business and our industry, and they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Although we believe our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, judgments and estimates, such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other factors. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from those discussed in or implied by any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of us due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to those related to following:
| • | general economic and market conditions, either nationally or in the markets where we conduct our business, may be less favorable than expected; |
| • | our business plan or its implementation may not be successful in attracting sufficient consumer demand to operate the Company profitably; |
| • | we may be unable to find suitable equity or debt financing when needed on terms commercially reasonable to us; |
| • | there may be changes in the cost or pricing of, or consumer demand for, our or our industry’s products, including the possible obsolesce of our products; |
| • | we may be unable to collect our accounts or notes receivables when due or within a reasonable period of time after they become due and payable; |
| • | there may be a significant increase in competitive pressures; and |
| • | there may be changes in environmental laws, policies and practices that may adversely affect our products. |
Many of these factors are beyond our control and you should read carefully the more detailed description of potential risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause our financial performance or results of operations to differ materially from current expectations or such forward-
10
looking statements set forth in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including Part 1, Item 1 of our Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 under the heading “Risk Factors”). These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this document. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this document or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Results of Operations
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, we generated sales of $208,495 and $724,045, respectively, an increase of $31,423 or 18% and $168,720 or 30%, respectively, from the comparable periods of the prior year. We believe that such increases were due primarily to our sales efforts of distributing our products primarily through established national and regional wholesale distributors in the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning and refrigeration industry. Our strategy is to gain entry into these distributors through a combination of our own outside sales force and manufacturer’s representative companies that have established relationships. Our sales were also positively affected by the introduction of BBJ MicroBiocide® for Air Ducts in February 2003. The sales mix of our products for the first nine months in 2003 was 45% from BBJ MicroBiocide® products, 13% from FreshDuct® Odor Eliminator, 24% from coil cleaner products and 18% from other products. Because our sales strategy is relatively new, and being assessed further as described below under “Sales Strategy,” it is too early to determine any sales trends.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, our gross margin was $133,879 and $461,617, respectively, an increase of $27,358 or 26% and $128,401 or 39%, respectively, from the comparable periods of the prior year. Our gross margin percentage increased from 60% during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 to 64% during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003. This increase resulted primarily from fixed cost of sales items being spread over a larger volume of sales.
Total operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 were $784,007 and $2,063,456, respectively, an increase of $385,878 or 97% and $589,606 or 40%, respectively, from the comparable periods of the prior year. Sales and marketing for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 increased by $198,754 and $187,266, respectively, as compared to the comparable periods of the prior year, primarily due to increased sales compensation costs, hiring costs of regional sales executives, increased sales travel and training expenses, and costs associated with initiating international sales effort. General and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 increased by $169,557 and $356,557, respectively, as compared to the comparable period of the prior year, primarily due to hiring a Senior Vice President of Operations, increased legal fees associated with twice changing corporate legal counsel, and director and officer insurance premiums which were not paid in the comparable period of the prior year. Research and development expenses increased by $17,567 and $45,783, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, as compared to the comparable period of the prior year primarily due to the hiring of a Director of Research and Development. Operating expenses when expressed as a percentage of sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 were 376% and 285%, respectively, as compared to 225% and 265%, respectively, for the comparable periods of the prior year. These percentages are expected to decrease significantly as sales grow in future operating periods.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, we incurred a net loss of $650,128 and $1,601,839, respectively, compared to a net loss of $291,608 and $1,140,634, respectively, for the same periods in 2002.

Sales Strategy
Over the past year, our sales organization significantly increased the number of HVAC/R wholesalers distributing our products. We now have approximately 325 stocking wholesale locations on record. The majority of these locations were trained on our product line during 2002 and we are now realizing revenue from this strategy.
We continue to assess how to best leverage our distribution channels. After positive results from a recently completed test market, we implemented in August a pull through strategy that focuses on building owners and managers who control decisions in the largest buildings to attempt to realize gains in the HVAC maintenance market. This is usually schools, hospitals, and manufacturing operations. We believe we can create value for these customers by helping them improve the indoor air quality of their buildings with little or no additional cost. We have confirmed anecdotal evidence that indicates utility savings can offset product and labor costs required to deliver improved HVAC maintenance needed to keep systems free of mold and other contamination from microorganisms.
Our market analysis also indicates additional opportunities in duct cleaning, mold remediation, and mold prevention markets. Efforts will be made in the current year to better understand and exploit these opportunities. We have also launched efforts during the current quarter to sell our products in international markets and to sell certain products to consumers via the Internet.
While we believe that these efforts will ultimately result in increased sales and profitable operations, we can provide no assurances in this regard.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2003, we had net stockholders’ equity of $7,704, accumulated deficit of $7,325,856 and a working capital deficit of $120,944. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, the net cash used in operating activities was $1,605,093 and $844,816, respectively. This was primarily a result of losses incurred by the Company during those periods. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, increases in accounts receivable of $56,851 and inventory of $26,128 increased our net cash used in operating activities, which was partially offset by depreciation expense of $19,505, allowance for doubtful accounts of $15,137, and compensation due to grant of common stock of $48,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, depreciation expense of $29,212, compensation due to grant of common stock of $240,000, and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $88,234 decreased our net cash used in operating activities, which was partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $55,268. During the nine months ended September 2003 and 2002, net cash used in investing activities was $73,828 and $9,544, respectively, resulting primarily from the purchase of property and equipment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, net cash flows from financing activities amounted to $1,132,300 and $837,640, respectively. For the nine months ended September 2003, cash was provided by financing activities from the sale of capital stock of $1,007,300 and net proceeds from cash advances for stockholder of $125,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, cash was provided by financing activities from the sale of capital stock of $807,900, proceeds from bank lines of credit of $25,000, and proceeds from bridge loans of $20,000 partially offset by payments on capital leases of $15,260.
On June 5, 2002, we issued 1.4 million shares of our common stock upon the exercise of options at a cash purchase price of $0.375 per share. Payment was made through the issuance of full recourse promissory notes due September 30, 2002, together with interest at the rate of 5% per annum. These options were granted to Michael Nole, our then director of sales, and his assistant, Nicholas Salerno. These notes remain unpaid as of the filing date of this Form 10-KSB and we have demanded payment. Management is currently accessing the collectibility of these notes and our legal options. We can provide no assurances that these notes will be fully collected by us through litigation, settlement or otherwise.
12
As described herein and in our Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, we have relied principally on external financing to provide liquidity and capital resources for our operations. We are in the process of offering and selling in one or more Regulation S or Regulation D private placement transactions up to $3 million in gross proceeds of Common Stock and promissory notes that automatically converted into Common Stock . The purchasers of such securities will also receive a Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock for every three shares of Common Stock received in the conversion or purchase, as applicable. Pursuant to this offering, we have raised approximately $1.1 million to date. This communication does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of offers to purchase securities. The securities described herein have not been and will not be registered under the Act and may not be sold without registration or an applicable exemption therefrom. Management believes that this additional financing if consummated in full, plus anticipated cash flow from operations, will support our anticipated liquidity and capital resource needs in the near term. No assurances can be given that our efforts to raise this financing and additional financing for our short term (and long term) needs will be successful or, if successful, that such financing will be on terms satisfactory to us. The inability to obtain additional financing, when needed, or on terms reasonably satisfactory to us, would materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition and could lead us to curtail or cease operations. As a result of our operating losses and capital needs, our auditors have added a going concern qualification (explanatory paragraph) as described in our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as contained in our Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Recent Developments
The Board of Directors of the Company is reassessing the Company’s future prospects and anticipated needs for continued growth. In this regard, it is reviewing the Company’s capital structure, various financing alternatives available to the Company, including potential sources of equity financings, the Company’s current stockholder base, and the costs of complying with the Company’s reporting obligations under the Securities
14
Exchange Act. In particular, the Board of Directors has been considering the potential benefits and other implications of effecting a reverse stock split and/or reincorporating the Company in Delaware, although no definitive decision has been made with respect to either of these actions. The Company believes that a reverse stock split would permit the Company to eliminate the shareholdings of a significant number of small shareholders who acquired their shares prior to the time the Company was engaged in its current business in exchange for a cash payment. This would permit the Company to avoid the relatively high cost of communication with those holders and would likely permit the Company to deregister under the Exchange Act, if it so chose. A reincorporation in Delaware would have the benefits of transferring the Company’s domicile to a jurisdiction with a more established body of law. The Board may determine to effect some, all or none of these actions and, if it does more than one, may seek to effect them simultaneously or at different times. A reincorporation would, and reverse stock split may, require approval by shareholders, and would in any event be preceded by further disclosure to shareholders. In addition, a reincorporation would, under Nevada law, trigger appraisal rights for the shareholders of the Company. If shareholders elected to exercise such appraisal rights, the Company would be required to use funds to buy out these shareholders at the fair market value of their shares. The Company may decide to proceed with the reverse stock split for the reasons stated above but may not then seek to deregister under the Exchange Act at that time (although it might chose to do so at a later date).
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our Executive Chairman and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer), management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Executive Chairman and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, these disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There have not been any changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
