Lots and lots of acid buildup -- the end product of the cycle is acidic, and if the guy had never done a water change I wouldn't think it was impossible, though it is probably close to a miracle that the fish survived this long. DId you test the water with a different kit, just in case that first kit had gone bad or the test was done incorrectly?
