STRATEGIC DIAGNOSTICS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
(unaudited)

     1. BACKGROUND:

Business

Strategic Diagnostics Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) develop, manufacture and market immunoassay and bioluminescence-based test kits for rapid and cost-effective detection of a wide variety of substances in the food safety and water quality markets and provide antibody and immunoreagent research, development and production services.

Basis of Presentation and Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments (all of which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operation.

Revenue Recognition

Product related revenues are composed of the sale of immunoassay-based test kits and the sale of certain antibodies and immunochemical reagents. Revenue from sales of immunoassay-based test kits and certain antibodies and immunochemical reagents are recognized upon the shipment of the product and transfer of title or when related services are provided. For the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, revenues from these sales represented 78% and 77%, respectively, of total Company revenues.

Revenues from sales of certain antibodies and immunochemical reagents are recognized under the percentage of completion method and are recorded based on the percentage of costs or time incurred through the reporting date versus the estimate for the entire contract or project. For the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, revenues from these sales represented 22% and 21%, respectively, of total Company revenues.

Contract revenues are recognized upon the completion of contractual milestones. For the three months ended March 31, 2003 these sales represented 2% of total Company revenues.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. These estimates include those made in connection with assessing the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories and deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

     2. BASIC AND DILUTED INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE:

Basic earnings (loss) per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income or loss available for common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS, except that the dilutive effect of converting or exercising all potentially dilutive securities is also included in the denominator. The Company’s calculation of diluted EPS includes the dilutive effect of converting preferred stock and exercising stock options and warrants into common shares. Basic loss per share excludes potentially dilutive securities.

As of March 31, 2004, options to purchase 2,189,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding, with options to purchase approximately 1,327,000 shares exercisable. Listed below are the basic and diluted share calculations.

     3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosures. This statement amends the requirements of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation. As permitted by SFAS No. 148, the Company applies the intrinsic-value-based method to account for its fixed-plan stock options. Compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. The Company has elected to continue to apply the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting described above, and has adopted only the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. Under the Company’s employee share option plans, the Company grants employee and outside directors stock options at an exercise price equal to the fair market value at the date of grant. No compensation expense is recorded with respect to such stock option grants. Compensation expense with respect to stock awards granted to all others is measured based upon the fair value of such awards and is charged to expense over the vesting period.
