SEE ATTACHMENT HERETO SYSTEMONE TECHNOLOGIES INC. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Name of Registrant as specified in charter) Has caused this notification to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized. Date: April 2, 2002 By: /s/ PAUL I. MANSUR --------------------------------------- Name: Paul I. Mansur Title: Chief Executive Officer 3 ATTACHMENT TO FORM 12b-25 FORM 10-KSB FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 PART III - NARRATIVE For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, SystemOne Technologies Inc. (the "Company") dismissed KPMG, LLP as its auditors and retained in its place BDO Seidman, LLP, requiring the Company to obtain audit reports and consents from both firms in connection with the filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for such fiscal year. In the process of obtaining KPMG, LLP's report and consent with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, to be included in such Form 10-KSB, such firm revaluated the classification of certain expenses related to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, and required the Company to reclassify such expenses as more fully described below, which determination was communicated to the Company immediately prior to the deadline for filing the Form 10-KSB thereby leaving the Company with insufficient time to process such reclassification and related disclosures. The reclassification involves reducing restructuring and other charges related to inventory write offs by approximately $660,000 and increasing cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2000 by an equal amount with no net effect on operating loss or net loss. PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION (3) The Company anticipates that it will report a significant material change in its results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2001 as compared to its results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2000 as a result of the following. On November 14, 2000, the Company entered into a Marketing and Distribution Agreement as amended and restated as of March 8, 2001 (the "Exclusive Marketing Agreement"), with Safety-Kleen Systems, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Safety-Kleen Corp. (collectively, "Safety-Kleen"). Under the Exclusive Marketing Agreement, Safety-Kleen was appointed the exclusive distributor of SystemOne(R) parts washer equipment in the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada and Mexico (the "Territory") and provides for minimum annual purchases escalating from 10,000 units during each of the first two years to 18,000 units during the fifth year at specified prices. In connection with the Exclusive Marketing Agreement, the Company restructured its operations beginning in November 2000 with a major emphasis on eliminating its national sales and service infrastructure resulting in a significant reduction in operating expenses. As a result of operating under the Exclusive Marketing Agreement and the related restructuring, the Company expects to report a profit from operations of $2,464,097 and a net loss attributable to common shares of $4,194,970 for 2001 as compared to a loss from operations of $17,462,582 and a net loss attributable to common shares of $21,999,545 for 2000. 4
