2002 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
OF
SYSTEMONE TECHNOLOGIES INC.

PROXY STATEMENT

     This proxy statement contains information related to our annual meeting of shareholders to be held on Friday, June 14, 2002 beginning at 10:00 a.m. local time, at our corporate headquarters at 8305 N.W. 27th Street, Suite 107, Miami, Florida, and at any adjournments or postponements thereof.

ABOUT THE MEETING

What is the purpose of the Annual Meeting?

     At the annual meeting, shareholders will vote on the election of directors and vote on any other matters that properly come before the meeting. In addition, our management will report on our performance during 2001 and respond to questions from our shareholders.

Who is entitled to vote?

     Only shareholders of record at the close of business on the record date, May 13, 2002, are entitled to receive notice of the annual meeting and to vote the shares of common stock and Series B, Series C and Series D convertible preferred stock that they held on that date at the meeting, or any postponement or adjournment of the meeting. Each outstanding share of common stock entitles its holder to cast one vote on each matter to be voted upon. Each outstanding share of Series B, Series C and Series D convertible preferred stock entitles its holder to cast 21.37, 28.57 and 28.57 votes, respectively, on each matter to be voted upon.

Who can attend the meeting?

     All shareholders as of the record date, or their duly appointed proxies, may attend. Please note that if you hold shares in “street name” (that is, through a broker or other nominee), you will need to bring evidence of your share ownership, such as a copy of your most recent brokerage statement, reflecting your stock ownership as of the record date and a valid picture identification.

What constitutes a quorum?

     The presence at the meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting will constitute a quorum, permitting the meeting to conduct its business. As of the record date, May 13, 2002, 4,742,923 shares of our common stock held by 40 shareholders of record, 62,439 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock held by three holders of record, 82,997 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock held by one holder of record and 22,876 shares of Series D convertible preferred stock held by three holders of record were issued and outstanding. The shares of convertible preferred stock represent a total of 4,359,091 votes. Proxies received but marked as abstentions and broker non-votes will be included in the calculation of the number of shares considered to be present at the meeting but will not be counted as votes cast “for” or “against” any given matter.

     If less than a majority of outstanding shares entitled to vote are represented at the meeting, a majority of the shares present at the meeting may adjourn the meeting to another date, time or place, and notice need not be given of the new date, time or place if the new date, time or place is announced at the meeting before an adjournment is taken.

1

How do I vote?

     If you complete and properly sign the accompanying proxy card and return it to us, it will be voted as you direct. If you are a registered shareholder and you attend the meeting, you may deliver your completed proxy card in person. “Street name” shareholders who wish to vote at the meeting will need to obtain a proxy from the institution that holds their shares.

Can I change my vote after I return my proxy card?

     Yes. Even after you have submitted your proxy, you may change your vote at any time before the proxy is exercised by filing with our Secretary either a notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date. The powers of the proxy holders will be suspended if you attend the meeting in person and so request, although attendance at the meeting will not by itself revoke a previously granted proxy.

What are the Board’s recommendations?

     Unless you give other instructions on your proxy card, the persons named as proxy holders on the proxy card will vote in accordance with the recommendations of our Board of Directors. The Board recommends a vote for the election of the nominated slate of directors (see page 6).

     The Board does not know of any other matters that may be brought before the meeting nor does it foresee or have reason to believe that the proxy holders will have to vote for substitute or alternate board nominees. In the event that any other matter should properly come before the meeting or any nominee is not available for election, the proxy holders will vote as recommended by the Board of Directors or, if no recommendation is given, in accordance with their best judgment.

What vote is required to approve each item?

     Election of Directors. The affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast, either in person or by proxy, at the meeting by the holders of common stock (one vote per share) and Series B (21.37 votes per share), Series C (28.57 votes per share) and Series D (28.57 votes per share) convertible preferred stock, voting together as a single class, is required for the election of directors. A properly executed proxy marked “WITHHOLD AUTHORITY” with respect to the election of one or more directors will not be voted with respect to the director or directors indicated, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum. Shareholders do not have the right to cumulate their votes for directors.

     Other Items. For each other item, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, either in person or by proxy, at the meeting by the holders of common stock (one vote per share) and Series B (21.37 votes per share), Series C (28.57 votes per share) and Series D (28.57 votes per share) convertible preferred stock, voting together as a single class, is required for approval. A properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” with respect to any such matter will not be voted, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum. Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a negative vote.

     If you hold your shares in “street name” through a broker or other nominee, your broker or nominee may not be permitted to exercise voting discretion with respect to some of the matters to be acted upon. Thus, if you do not give your broker or nominee specific instructions, your shares may not be voted on those matters and will not be counted in determining the number of shares necessary for approval. Shares represented by such “broker non-votes” will, however, be counted in determining whether there is a quorum.

2

Who pays for the preparation of the proxy?

     We will pay the cost of preparing, assembling and mailing the proxy statement, notice of meeting and enclosed proxy card. In addition to the use of mail, our employees may solicit proxies personally and by telephone. Our employees will receive no compensation for soliciting proxies other than their regular salaries. We may request banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward copies of the proxy material to their principals and to request authority for the execution of proxies and we may reimburse such persons for their expenses incurred in connection with these activities.

     The approximate date that this Proxy Statement and the enclosed form of proxy are first being sent to shareholders is May 24, 2002. You should review this information in conjunction with our Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2001, which accompanies this proxy statement. Our principal executive offices are located at 8305 N.W. 27th Street, Suite 107, Miami, Florida 33122, and our telephone number is (305) 593-8015. A list of shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available at our offices for a period of ten days prior to the meeting and at the meeting itself for examination by any shareholder.

     The Board unanimously recommends a vote for the election as directors of the nominees named in this Proxy Statement.

How are directors compensated?

     Compensation. No director receives any fee for attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors or committees thereof, although members of the Board of Directors do receive reimbursement for actual travel-related expenses incurred in connection with their attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors. Directors who are also employed by us do not receive additional compensation for their services as directors.

     Options. Directors are eligible to receive options under our 1996 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan. This plan provides for an automatic grant of an option to purchase 3,500 shares of our common stock, par value $.001 per share, upon a person’s election as a non-employee director, as well as an automatic annual grant of an option to purchase 3,500 shares of common stock on the day we issue our earnings release for the prior fiscal year.

How often did the Board meet during 2001?

     During 2001, the Board of Directors held four meetings. During 2001, each director attended more than 75% of the aggregate of (i) the number of meetings of the Board of Directors held during the period he served on the Board, and (ii) the number of meetings of committees of the Board of Directors held during the period he served on such committees.

What committees has the Board established?

     The Board of Directors has a standing Audit Committee and Compensation Committee. We do not have a nominating committee. Our Board of Directors performs the functions of a nominating committee.

Audit Committee

     During 2001, the Audit Committee consisted of Messrs. Biddelman and Leung, who are both independent. The Audit Committee held four meetings during 2001. The duties and responsibilities of the Audit Committee include (a) recommending to the Board the appointment of our auditors and any termination of engagement, (b) reviewing the plan and scope of audits, (c) reviewing our significant accounting policies and internal controls and (d) having general responsibility for all related auditing matters. The Board of Directors adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee effective June 13, 2000. A copy of the charter was included as Appendix A to our Proxy Statement in connection with our 2001 Annual Meeting.

7

Compensation Committee

     During 2001, the Compensation Committee consisted of Messrs. Biddelman and Leung. The Compensation Committee held three meetings during 2001. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves the compensation of our executive officers and administers our stock option plan.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

     The following report of the audit committee does not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any of our other filings under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

     In accordance with its written charter adopted by our board of directors, the audit committee’s role is to act on behalf of the board of directors in the oversight of our accounting, auditing and financial reporting practices. The audit committee consists of two members, each of whom is “independent” as that term is defined in Sections 303.01(B)(2)(a) and (3) of the New York Stock Exchange’s listing standards. Although our common stock is not listed on the New York Stock Exchange, we have chosen the independence standard set forth Sections 303.01(B)(2)(a) and (3) of the New York Stock Exchange’s listing standards in accordance with Section 7(d)(3)(iv) of Rule 14A-101 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. A copy of the audit committee’s written charter appeared as Appendix A to last year’s Proxy Statement for our 2001 annual meeting.

     Management is responsible for our financial reporting process including our system of internal controls, and for the preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our independent auditors are responsible for auditing those financial statements. It is the audit committee’s responsibility to monitor and review these processes. It is not the audit committee’s duty or responsibility to conduct auditing or accounting reviews or procedures. The audit committee does not consist of our employees and it may not be, and may not represent itself to be or to serve as, accountants or auditors by profession or experts in the fields of accounting or auditing. Therefore, the audit committee has relied, without independent verification, on management’s representation that the financial statements have been prepared with integrity and objectivity and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and on the representations of the independent auditors included in their report on our financial statements. The audit committee’s oversight does not provide it with an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or policies, or appropriate internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the audit committee’s considerations and discussions with management and the independent auditors do not assure that our financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, that the audit of our financial statements has been carried out in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards or that our independent accountants are in fact “independent.”

     In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the audit committee reviewed the audited financial statements for fiscal 2001 with management including a discussion of the quality of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements. The audit committee reviewed the financial statements for fiscal 2001 with the independent auditors and discussed with them all of the matters required to be discussed by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communications with Audit Committees), as amended, including the auditors’ judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of our accounting principles. In addition, the audit committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by Independence Standard No. 1 (Independent Discussions with Audit Committees) and has discussed with the independent auditors their independence from our management and us. Finally, the audit committee has considered whether the provision by the independent auditors of non-audit services to us is compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence. The audit committee discussed with the independent accountants any relationships that may have an impact on their objectivity and independence and satisfied itself as to the accountant’s independence.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

     In May 1999, we issued an aggregate of 50,500 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, $1.00 par value per share, to Environmental Opportunities Fund, L.P., Environmental Opportunities Fund (Cayman), L.P., Environmental Opportunities Fund II, L.P., and Environmental Opportunities Fund II (Institutional), L.P. for an aggregate purchase price of $5,050,000. Subsequent to such date we issued an additional 11,939 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock as paid in kind dividends. Also subsequent to such date, all shares held by Environmental Opportunities Fund (Cayman), L.P. were transferred to Environmental Opportunities Fund, L.P. Mr. Kenneth C. Leung, one of our directors, is the Chief Investment Officer of each of the aforementioned funds.

     In August 1999, we issued 69,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, $1.00 par value per share, to Hanseatic Americas LDC for an aggregate purchase price of $6,900,000. Subsequent to such date we issued an additional 13,997 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock as paid in kind dividends. Mr. Paul A. Biddelman, one of our directors, is the President of Hanseatic Corporation, which controls Hanseatic Americas LDC.

     In May 2000, we issued an aggregate of 20,000 shares of Series D convertible preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share, and warrants (the “May Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 363,636 shares of common stock, to Hanseatic Americas LDC, Environmental Opportunities Fund II, L.P. and Environmental Opportunities Fund (Institutional), L.P. for an aggregate purchase price of $2.0 million. Subsequent to such date we issued an additional 2,876 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock as paid in kind dividends. In connection with the execution of the Subordinated Loan Agreement and the issuance of the Lender Warrants (each as described below), the May Warrants were adjusted to be exercisable for an aggregate of 571,428 shares of Common Stock.

     We are also party to a Shareholders Agreement dated May 2, 2000 with the holders of our preferred stock and Pierre Mansur, pursuant to which, Messrs. Paul A. Biddelman and Kenneth C. Leung were appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors on May 29, 2000. The holders of our preferred stock are also entitled to nominate one or more additional individuals to establish a controlling majority on the board. In addition, among other things, the Shareholders Agreement provides that certain decisions to be made by the board, including authorization of any merger or similar transaction or material acquisition, the issuance of certain securities or the employment of senior management, require concurrence of the directors designated by the holders of our preferred stock.

     On August 7, 2000 (the “Issuance Date”), we entered into a Loan Agreement with Environmental Opportunities Fund II, L.P., Environmental Opportunities Fund II (Institutional), L.P. and Hanseatic Americas LDC (collectively, the “Lenders”), as amended on November 10, 2000 and November 30, 2000 (collectively the “Subordinated Loan Agreement”), under which we borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $3,300,000. These borrowings are evidenced by promissory notes (the “Subordinated Promissory Notes”), maturing September 30, 2002, subject to prepayment at any time at our option and mandatory prepayment to the extent of any proceeds received by us from the sale of any new securities or the borrowing of any additional money (other than purchase money debt and borrowings under the Senior Revolver). The Subordinated Promissory Notes initially bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum until the six month anniversary of the Issuance Date, 14% from the six month anniversary until the nine month anniversary of the Issuance Date and 16% thereafter until repaid in full. Our obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by a lien on substantially all of its assets other than its intellectual property although such obligations have been subordinated to the Senior Revolver. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement we issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 942,858 shares of our common stock at $3.50 per share.

     On November 30, 2000, we entered into a revolving credit loan agreement (the “Senior Revolver”) with Hansa Finance Limited Liability Company (“Hansa”) that provides us with a revolving line of credit for up to $5 million with a scheduled maturity of May 30, 2003. In connection with the Senior Revolver, we granted Hansa a security interest in substantially all of our assets including our intellectual properties. Pursuant to the Senior Revolver, we may borrow twice a month up to the Advance Limit. The Advance Limit is the lesser of $5,000,000 or the sum of the Advance Supplement plus an amount based on our receivables and inventory. The Advance Supplement is $2,500,000 until maturity. Amounts advanced under the Senior Revolver accrue interest at the rate of 14% per annum payable monthly in arrears commencing December 31, 2000. As of December 31, 2001, amounts advanced under the Senior Revolver totaled $4,750,000. Hansa is controlled indirectly by Hanseatic Corporation and Paul Biddelman, one of our directors, who is the President of Hanseatic Corporation.

     On February 27, 2002, we entered into a Third Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Subordinated Loan Agreement extending the maturity date of the Subordinated Promissory Notes until September 30, 2002 and changing the terms upon which the Additional Warrants would be issued.

     In connection with the Amendment, on February 27, 2002 we and the Lenders, Hanseatic Americas LDC, Environmental Fund II, L.P. and Environmental Opportunities Fund II (Institutional), L.P. (collectively, with the Lenders, the “Investors”), entered into a Letter Agreement suspending our registration obligations for shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of shares of Series B, C and D Preferred Stock which we issued to the Investors until we receive notice from the Investors holding shares with a current market value of at least $1,000,000 requesting that we register such shares.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of our outstanding common stock, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of equity securities of the Company. Such persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all such reports they file.
