SCIENTIFIC INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
General: The accompanying unaudited interim condensed
consolidated financial statements are prepared pursuant to the
Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations for
reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and
footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States for complete financial statements are not
included herein. The Company believes all adjustments necessary
for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been
included and that they are of a normal and recurring nature.
These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's financial statements and notes thereto, included in
its Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2013. The results for the three and nine months ended
March 31, 2014, are not necessarily an indication of the results
for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2014.
1. Summary of significant accounting policies:
Principles of consolidation:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Scientific Industries, Inc. ("Scientific", a Delaware
corporation), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Altamira
Instruments, Inc.("Altamira", a Delaware corporation), Scientific
Packaging Industries, Inc. (an inactive New York corporation) and
Scientific Bioprocessing, Inc., ("SBI", a Delaware corporation).
All are collectively referred to as the "Company". All material
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
2. New Accounting Pronouncements:
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740),
which clarifies the presentation requirements of unrecognized tax
benefits when a net operating loss carries forward, a similar tax
loss, or a tax credit carry forward exists at the reporting date.
The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and
interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15,
2013 and should be applied prospectively. The adoption of this
ASU did not have a material impact to the Company's consolidated
financial statements.
3. Acquisition:
On February 26, 2014, the Company acquired substantially all the
assets of a privately held company (the "Seller") engaged in the
production and sale of a variety of laboratory and pharmacy balances
and scales from its facility in Clifton, New Jersey. The acquisition
was pursuant to an asset purchase agreement (the "Agreement") between
the Company and the Seller and the principal stockholders of the
Seller whereby the Company paid the Seller $700,000 in cash,
126,449 shares of Common Stock valued at $427,500 (of which 31,612
are held in escrow for one year) and agreed to make additional cash
payments based on a percentage of net sales of the business acquired
equal to 8% for the period ending June 30, 2014 annualized, 9% for
the year ending June 30, 2015, 10% for the year ending June 30, 2016,
and 11% for the year ending June 30, 2017, estimated at a present
value of $460,000 on the date of acquisition.
5
The products which are similar to the Company's other Benchtop
Laboratory Equipment, and in many cases used by the same customers,
are marketed under the Torbal(R) brand. The principal customers are
pharmacies, pharmacy schools, universities, government laboratories,
and industries utilizing a precision scale. The products are sold
primarily on a direct basis, including through the Company's
e-commerce site.
Management of the Company allocated the purchase price based on its
valuation of the assets acquired, as follows:
Current Assets $ 144,000
Property and Equipment 118,100
Goodwill* 115,400
Other Intangible Assets 1,210,000
___________
Net Assets Acquired $ 1,587,500
===========
*See Note 8, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets".
Of the $1,210,000 of the acquired other intangible assets, $570,000
was assigned to technology and websites with a useful life of 5 years,
$120,000 was assigned to customer relationships with a estimated useful
life of 9 years, $140,000 was assigned to the trade name with a useful
life of 5 years, $110,000 was assigned to the IPR&D (intellectual
property, and research and development) with a useful life of 3 years,
and $270,000 was assigned to non-compete agreements with a useful
life of 5 years.
In connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into a
three-year employment agreement with the Chief Operating Officer of
the Seller as President of the Company's new Torbal Scales Division
and Director of Marketing for the Company. The agreement may be
extended by mutual consent for an additional two years.
Pro forma results
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information
in the table below summarizes the consolidated results of operations
of the Company and its new Torbal Scales Division, as though the
companies had been combined as of the beginning of each of the periods
presented. The Company's results of operations for the three and
nine months ended March 31, 2014 include the results of the Torbal
Scales Division since February 26, 2014, the date of acquisition.
The unaudited pro forma financial information presented below is
for informational purposes only and is not intended to represent or
be indicative of the consolidated results of the operations that
would have been achieved if the acquisition had been completed as
of the commencement of the periods presented. In addition, the
Company was unable to obtain audited historical financial
statements and, therefore, information presented is based on
management's best judgment using the unaudited financial
information provided and management's expectations.

Approximately 63% and 69% of net sales of benchtop laboratory equipment
for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively,
were derived from sales of the Company's main product, the Vortex-Genie 2

respective nine month periods.
The Company's foreign sales are principally made to customers in Europe
and Asia. The Company also has an arrangement with a supplier for annual
minimum purchase commitments through February 2020 which the Company has
already met for the current year.
5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The FASB defines the fair value of financial instruments as the amount
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability
in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
date. Fair value measurements do not include transaction costs.
The accounting guidance also expands the disclosure requirements concerning
fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy of valuation inputs.
The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent
to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.
Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels, which
is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement in its entirety. These levels are described below:
Level 1 Inputs that are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical
instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or
financial instruments for which all significant inputs are
observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to
the fair value measurement and unobservable.
9
The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy
the Company's financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at
fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013
according to the valuation techniques the Company used to determine their
fair values:

Approximately 61,000 shares of the Company's common stock issuable upon
the exercise of outstanding options were excluded from the calculation
of diluted loss per common share, for the three month period ended March 31,
2014, because the effect would be anti-dilutive due to the loss for the
period.
Approximately 40,000 shares of the Company's common stock issuable upon
the exercise of outstanding options were excluded from the calculation
of diluted earnings per common share for each of the three and nine month
periods ended March 31, 2013, because the effect would be anti-dilutive.
8. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets:
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value
of the net assets acquired in connection with the Company's acquisitions.
Goodwill amounted to $705,300 and $589,900 as of March 31, 2014 and June
30, 2013, respectively, all of which is deductible for tax purposes.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations
Certain statements contained in this report are not based on
historical facts, but are forward-looking statements that are based
upon various assumptions about future conditions. Actual events in
the future could differ materially from those described in the
forward-looking information. Numerous unknown factors and future
events could cause such differences, including but not limited to,
product demand, market acceptance, impact of competition, the ability
to reach final agreements, the ability to finance and produce catalyst
research instruments to customers' satisfaction, adverse economic
conditions, and other factors affecting the Company's business that
are beyond the Company's control. Consequently, no forward-looking
statement can be guaranteed.
We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $584,300 to $343,000 as of March
31, 2014 from $927,300 as of June 30, 2013.
Operating activities used cash of $179,900 for the nine month period
ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the $329,200 of cash provided for
the nine month period ended March 31, 2013, due mainly to lower income
in the 2014 period, higher balances of accounts receivable and
inventories and decreases in customer advances. The increase in cash
used in investing activities to $324,100 for the nine month period
ended March 31, 2014 compared to $29,500 for the nine month period
ended March 31, 2013 was primarily due to the acquisition. Cash used
in financing activities was $80,300 for the nine month period ended
March 31, 2014 compared to $122,600 for the nine month period ended
March 31, 2013, due primarily to the line of credit proceeds partially
offset by an increased dividend payment.
On September 20, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company declared
a cash dividend of $.08 per share of Common Stock which was paid on
November 4, 2013 to holders of record as of the close of business on
October 11, 2013.
The Company's working capital decreased by $589,300 to $3,235,800 as
of March 31, 2014 from $3,825,100 at June 30, 2013 mainly due to the
assets purchased of the new Torbal Scales Division.
The Company has a line of credit with its bank, JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A. which provides for maximum borrowings of up to $700,000, bearing
interest at 3.05 percentage points above a defined LIBOR Index. The
interest rate as of March 31, 2014 was approximately 3.20% and any
borrowing is to be secured by a pledge of collateral consisting of the
inventory, accounts, chattel paper, equipment and general intangibles
of the Company. Outstanding amounts are due and payable by June 14,
2014, the expiration date of the line. As of March 31, 2014,
$80,000 was outstanding under the line. There were no borrowings at
June 30, 2013. The Company is currently negotiating line of credit
terms with several financial institutions, since the Company
anticipates that the line will not be renewed.
13
Management believes that the Company will be able to meet its cash
flow needs for the 12 months ended March 31, 2015 from its available
financial resources, including its cash and cash equivalents, the line
of credit and investment securities.
Results of Operations
Financial Overview
The Company recorded a loss before income taxes of $79,800 for the
three month period ended March 31, 2014, compared to income before
income taxes of $210,400 for the comparative period last year,
primarily as a result of reduced sales of benchtop laboratory
equipment, expenses related to the asset acquisition discussed in Note
2 and the related amortization expense. For the comparative nine
month period ended March 31, 2014, the Company reflected income before
income taxes of $106,300 compared to $317,300 for the comparable 2013
period, the lower income principally the result of reduced sales of
benchtop laboratory equipment and catalyst research instruments, and
the expenses related to the asset acquisition, partially offset by the
profit derived from an order for bioprocessing product prototypes
during the period that had minimal costs associated with the order,
since the costs had been previously expensed as product development
costs.
The Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 Compared With the Three Months
Ended March 31, 2013
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased by
$160,200 (9.9%) to $1,786,300 from $1,626,100 for the three months
ended March 31, 2013 as a result of a $243,300 increase in catalyst
research instrument sales, partially offset by decreases of $52,400
and $30,700 in laboratory equipment sales and bioprocessing systems
revenues, respectively. The results for the three months ended March
31, 2014 included one month of laboratory balance sales. Sales of
benchtop laboratory equipment products generally comprise many small
orders from distributors, while catalyst research instruments are sold
pursuant to a small number of larger orders, typically averaging over
$100,000 each, resulting in significant swings in revenues. The
backlog of orders for catalyst research instruments was $505,200 as of
March 31, 2014, most of which is expected to be delivered by fiscal
year end, as compared to the backlog of $1,340,000 as of March 31,
2013, all of which was delivered by June 30, 2013.
The gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was 39.0%
compared to 50.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, the
reduction primarily the result of lower sales and higher overhead
expenses of the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March
31, 2014 increased $141,000 (44.0%) to $461,800 compared to $320,800
for the three months ended March 31, 2013, primarily due to the costs
related to the asset acquisition.
Selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased
$9,400 (5.0%) to $198,000 from $188,600 for the three months ended
March 31, 2013, primarily the result of increased dealer-related
activities for the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations.
14
Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31,
2014 increased to $113,800 from $100,800 for the three months ended
March 31, 2013, primarily the result of increased new product
development activity by the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations.
Total other income (expense) amounted to expense of $3,600 for the
three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to income of $5,200 for the
prior year period.
The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $20,100 for the three
months ended March 31, 2014 compared to an income tax expense of
$60,300 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 due to the losses in
the current year period.
As a result of the foregoing, the net loss was $59,700 for the three
months ended March 31, 2014, compared to net income of $150,100 for
the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Nine Months Ended March 31, 2014 Compared With the Nine Months Ended
March 31, 2013
Net sales increased by $115,500 (2.4%) to $4,970,200 for the nine
months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $4,854,700 for the nine months
ended March 31, 2013, due to increases of $97,200 in catalyst research
instrument sales and $76,600 in bioprocessing systems revenues;
partially offset by a decrease of $58,300 in benchtop laboratory
equipment sales despite the addition of one month of sales of
laboratory balance products. The revenues generated by the
Bioprocessing Systems Operations benefitted from a one-time order for
prototype bioprocessing products of approximately $100,000, with the
remaining revenues being derived from royalties. The products related
to the order are still under development. Sales of benchtop
laboratory equipment products generally are comprised of many small
purchase orders from distributors, while sales of catalyst research
instruments are comprised of a small number of large orders, typically
averaging over $100,000 each, resulting in significant swings in
revenues.
The gross profit percentage for the nine months ended March 31, 2014
was 42.5%, compared to 43.5% for the prior year nine month period due
to lower margins for the Catalyst Research Instruments Operations.
General and administrative expenses increased by $198,100 (21.8%) to
$1,108,100 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 from $910,000 for
the comparable period last year, mostly as a result of costs related
to the asset acquisition.
Selling expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 increased by
$66,800 (12.5%) to $602,800 compared to $536,000 for the nine months
ended March 31, 2013, primarily the result of increased dealer-related
activities for the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations, and
commissions and exhibitions expense for the Catalyst Research
Instruments Operations.
Research and development expenses for the nine months ended March 31,
2014 decreased by $54,100 (15.2%) to $301,900 from $356,000 for the
nine months ended March 31, 2013, primarily the result of a reduction
in product development expenses by the Company's Bioprocessing Systems
Operations due to the use of lower-cost consultants.
15
Total other income was approximately $9,400 and $9,300, respectively,
for the nine month comparative periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.
Income tax expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 was
$28,800 compared to income tax expense of $91,000 for the nine months
ended March 31, 2013 due to the reduction in profits generated for the
period.
As a result of the foregoing, net income for the nine months ended
March 31, 2014 was $77,500 compared to a $226,300 for the nine months
ended March 31, 2013.
