The Company and its representatives may from time to time make written or oral forward- looking statements with respect to the Company's annual or long-term goals, including statements contained in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in its reports to stockholders. The words or phrases "will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue to," "is anticipated," "estimate," "project" or similar expressions identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. PART I Item 1. Business. General. Incorporated in 1954, Scientific Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (which along with its subsidiaries, the "Company"), is engaged in the design, manufacture, and marketing of standard benchtop laboratory equipment ("Benchtop Laboratory Equipment") and since November 2006, upon the acquisition of the outstanding shares of Altamira Instruments, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Altamira") customized catalyst research instruments ("Catalyst Research Instruments"). The Company's products are used primarily for research purposes by universities, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, clinics, medical device manufacturers, petrochemical companies and other related industries. See "Proposed Acquisition" for the possible expansion of the Company's operation in the bioprocessing field. Operating Segments. The Company views its operations as two segments: the manufacture and marketing of standard Benchtop Laboratory Equipment for research in university, hospital and industrial laboratories sold primarily through laboratory equipment distributors, and the manufacture and marketing of custom-made Catalyst Research Instruments for universities, government laboratories, and chemical and petrochemical companies. For certain financial information regarding the Company's operating segments, see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included under Item 8. Products. Benchtop Laboratory Equipment. The Company's Benchtop Laboratory Equipment products consist of mixers and shakers, rotators/ rockers, refrigerated and shaking incubators, and magnetic stirrers. Sales of the Vortex-Genie (R) 2 Mixer, the Company's principal product, excluding accessories, represented approximately 52% and 41% of the Company's total sales for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 ("fiscal 2011") and June 30, 2010 ("fiscal 2010"), respectively, or 68%, of the segment's sales for each of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010. The vortex mixer is used to mix the contents of test tubes, beakers, and other various containers by placing such containers on a rotating cup or other attachments which cause the contents to be mixed at varying speeds. The Company's additional mixers and shakers include a high speed touch mixer; a mixer with an integral timer, a patented cell disruptor; microplate mixers, a vortex mixer incorporating digital control and display; a large capacity multi-vessel vortex mixer and shaker, and a large capacity orbital shaker. 4
The Company also offers various benchtop multi-purpose rotators and rockers, designed to rotate and rock a wide variety of containers, and a refrigerated incubator and an incubator shaker, both of which are multi-functional benchtop environmental chambers designed to perform various shaking and stirring functions under controlled environmental conditions. Its line of magnetic stirrers include a patented high/low programmable magnetic stirrer; a four-place high/low programmable magnetic stirrer; a large volume magnetic stirrer available in analog and digital versions; and a four-place general purpose stirrer also available in analog and digital versions. Catalyst Research Instruments. The Catalyst Research Instrument products are offered through the Company's subsidiary, Altamira. Its flagship product is the AMI-200(TM), which is used to perform traditional catalyst characterization experiments on an unattended basis. The product also features a stand-alone personal computer to control the instrument and incorporates proprietary LabVIEW(R)-based software. The Company's AMI-300(TM) Catalyst Characterization Instrument, introduced in June 2009, incorporates a sophisticated data handling package and is designed to perform dynamic temperature-programmed catalyst characterization experiments. All AMI model instruments are designed or adapted to a customer's individual requirements. Its other Catalyst Research Instrument products include reactor systems, high throughput systems and micro-activity reactors, including the Company's BenchCAT(TM) custom reactor systems. They are available with single and multiple reactor paths and with reactor temperatures up to 1200 degrees Celsius. The systems feature multiple gas flows, are available in gas and gas/liquid configurations, and feature one or more stand-alone personal computers with the LabVIEW(R)-based control software. In June, 2011, the Company introduced the new MicroBenchCat Microreactor, a fully automated reactor system. Product Development. The Company designs and develops substantially all of its products. Company personnel formulate plans and concepts for new products and improvements or modifications of existing products. The Company engages outside consultants to augment its capabilities in areas such as industrial and electronics design. Major Customer. Sales, principally of the Vortex-Genie 2 Mixer, to one customer, which is one of the two major distributors of laboratory equipment, represented 11% of total sales for fiscal 2011, and 14.6% of Benchtop Laboratory Equipment product sales. For fiscal 2010, sales to the customer accounted for 14.5% of the segment's sales but less than 10% of total sales. Sales of Catalyst Research Instrument products are generally pursuant to a few large orders amounting on average to over $100,000 to a limited number of customers. In fiscal 2011, sales to two customers, each of which represented at least 10% of that segment's sales, accounted for an aggregate of 30% of the segment's sales (7% of total sales). In fiscal 2010, sales to three different customers, each of which represented at least 10% of that segment's sales, accounted for an aggregate of 45% of the segment's total sales (18% of total sales). Marketing. Benchtop Laboratory Equipment. The Company's Benchtop Laboratory Equipment products are generally distributed and marketed through an established network of domestic and overseas laboratory equipment distributors, who sell the Company's products through printed catalogs, websites and sales force. See "Major Customer". The Company also markets products through attendance at industry trade shows, trade publication advertising, brochures and catalogs, the Company's website, and through the efforts of its first sales managers. In general, due to the reliance on sales through the catalog distribution system, it takes two to three years for a new benchtop laboratory equipment product to begin generating meaningful sales. 5
Catalyst Research Instruments. The Company's Catalyst Research Instruments are sold directly worldwide to universities, government laboratories, and chemical and petrochemical companies through its sales personnel and independent representatives engaged on a commission basis. Its marketing efforts include attendance at various trade shows, Altamira's website, outside sales representatives, and printed materials. Assembly and Production. The Company has an operating facility in Bohemia, New York from which its Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations are conducted and another in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania from which its Catalyst Research Instruments Operations are conducted. The Company's production operations principally involve assembly of components supplied by various domestic and international independent suppliers. Patents, Trademarks, and Licenses. The Company holds several United States patents relating to its products, including a patent which expires in September 2015 for the TurboMix(TM), an accessory to the Vortex-Genie 2 Mixer, a patent which expires in July 2016 on the Roto-Shake Genie(R); a patent which expires in November 2022 on the MagStir Genie(R), MultiMagStir Genie(R), and Enviro-Genie(R), and a patent which expires in January 2023 on a biocompatible bag with integral sensors. The Company has various proprietary marks, including AMI(TM), BenchCAT(TM), BioGenie(R), Disruptor Beads(TM), Disruptor Genie(R), Enviro-Genie(R), Genie(TM), MagStir Genie(R), MegaMag Genie(R), MicroPlate Genie(R), MultiMagStir Genie(R), Multi-MicroPlate Genie(R), Orbital-Genie(R), QuadMag Genie(R), Roto-Shake Genie(R), TurboMix(TM), and Vortex-Genie(R), each of which it considers important to the success of the related product. The Company also has several trademark applications pending. No representation can be made that any application will be granted or as to the protection that any existing or future trademark may provide. The Company has several licensing agreements for technology and patents used in the Company's business. A non-exclusive worldwide sublicense from Fluorometrix Corporation relates to the development, production and marketing of incubator systems for vessels, including bags in volumes ranging from 250 milliliters to 5 liters, See "Proposed Acquisition". The Company also holds a license as to the technology related to its patent for the Roto-Shake Genie, and a patent related to its TurboMix attachment for the Vortex-Genie and Disruptor Genie. The license fees for fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010 amounted to $11,700 and $12,900, respectively. Foreign Sales. The Company's sales to overseas customers, including distributors, principally in Asia and Europe, accounted for approximately 54% and 37% of the Company's net sales for fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, respectively. Such sales are paid in United States dollars and are therefore not subject to risks of currency fluctuation, foreign duties and customs. Seasonality. The Company does not consider its business to be seasonal. Backlog. The backlog for Benchtop Laboratory Equipment products is not significant because this line of products is comprised of standard catalog items requiring lead times which usually are not longer than two weeks. The backlog for Catalyst Research Instrument products as of June 30, 2011 was $424,600, most of which is expected to be filled by September 30, 2011, as compared to a backlog of $454,000 as of June 30, 2010, all of which was filled in Fiscal 2011. 6
Competition. Most of the Company's competitors are substantially larger and have greater financial, production and marketing resources than the Company. Competition is generally based upon technical specifications, price, and product recognition and acceptance. The Company's main competition for its Benchtop Laboratory Equipment products in the United States derives from private label brand mixers offered by the two largest laboratory equipment distributors in the United States, who dominate the end user market. The Company believes its vortex mixer products and trademarks are factors in that market around the world. The Company's major competitors for its Benchtop Laboratory Equipment are Henry Troemner, Inc. (a private label supplier to the two largest laboratory equipment distributors in the U.S. and Europe), IKA-Werke GmbH & Co. KG, a German company, Benchmark Scientific, Inc., (a U.S. importer of China-produced products) and Heidolph Instruments GmbH, a German company. The primary competition for the Company's Catalyst Research Instrument products is in the form of instruments produced internally by research laboratory staffs of potential customers. Competitors in the United States include Quantachrome Instruments, and Micromeritics Instrument Corporation, each a privately-held company. Research and Development. The Company incurred research and development expenses, the majority of which related to new Benchtop Laboratory Equipment products, of $324,400 during fiscal 2011 compared to $343,800 during fiscal 2010. The Company expects research and development expenditures in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012 to be at the approximate same level of those for fiscal 2011, except for expenditures related to the proposed acquisition described under "Proposed Acquisition". Government and Environmental Regulation. The Company's products and claims with respect thereto have not required approval of the Food and Drug Administration or any other government approval. The Company's manufacturing operations, like those of the industry in general, are subject to numerous existing and proposed, if adopted, federal, state, and local regulations to protect the environment, establish occupational safety and health standards and cover other matters. The Company believes that its operations are in compliance with existing laws and regulations and the cost to comply is not significant to the Company. Employees. As of August 19, 2011, the Company employed 29 persons (18 for the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations and 11 for the Catalyst Research Instruments Operations) of whom 25 were full-time, including its three executive officers. None of the Company's employees are represented by any union. Proposed Acquisition. In May 2011, the Company agreed in principle to acquire from Fluorometrix Corporation, a small privately held corporation, substantially all of its assets consisting principally of an exclusive license (the "License") from the University of Maryland Baltimore County ("UMBC") with respect to the related rights and know-how under a patent held by UMBC entitled "Microbioreactor Apparatus and Technology for High Throughout Bioprocessing" and related sublicenses granted thereunder, including the sublicense referred to under "Patents, Trademarks and Licenses" held by the Company, with respect to the exclusive world-wide rights to the product and service income from any bioprocessing application but not limited to bioreactor systems, disposable reactor, shaker and other flash system. The proposed acquisition consideration, if consummated, will be approximately $900,000 payable in cash, a promissory note and shares of common stock, plus a contingent amount payable of the net fees and royalties received by the Company and its subsidiaries under the License and sublicenses acquired. The design and development of methods, systems, processes and products by the Company under the License, is to be done pursuant to a research and development agreement with a company affiliated with the President of the assignor. 7
No assurance can be given that the proposed acquisition will be consummated or if consummated as to its final terms. If consummated, that any products, methods, systems or processes will be successfully developed or that any material royalties and fees will be generated under the License and sublicenses. Available Information. The Company's Annual Report to Stockholders for fiscal 2011, includes its Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Annual Report will be mailed to security holders together with the Company's proxy material and solicitation as it relates to the Company's 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. All the Company's reports, including Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other information filed with, or furnished to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC" or the "Commission"), including amendments to such reports, are available on the SEC's website that contains such reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding companies that file electronically with the Commission. This information is available at www.sec.gov. In addition, all the Company's public filings can be accessed through the Company's website at http://scientificindustries.com/stockfinancialinfo.html. Item 1A. Risk Factors. In connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, important risk factors are identified below that could affect the Company's financial performance and could cause the Company's actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to such future periods in any current statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking announcements to reflect future events or circumstances. Dependence on a Major Customer ______________________________ The laboratory equipment industry is dominated in the U.S. by two major laboratory equipment distributors, one of which, is the Company's largest customer for the Company's Benchtop Laboratory Equipment products. Sales to this customer, accounted for 14.6% and 14.5%, respectively, of the sales of the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations for fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010. No representation can be made that the Company will be successful in continuing to retain this customer, the loss of which could have an adverse effect on future operating results of the Company. One Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Product Accounts for a Substantial Portion of Revenues ________________________________________________________ The Company has a limited number of Benchtop Laboratory Equipment products with one product, the Vortex-Genie 2 Mixer, accounting for approximately 68% of Benchtop Laboratory Equipment sales, for both fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, and 52% and 41% of total sales for fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, respectively. The Company is a Small Participant in Each of the Industries in Which It Operates _______________________________________________________________ The Benchtop Laboratory Equipment industry is highly competitive. Although the Vortex-Genie 2 Mixer has been widely accepted, the annual sales of the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment products ($4,525,100 for fiscal 2011 and $4,272,700 for fiscal 2010) are significantly lower than the annual sales of many of its competitors in the industry. The principal competitors are substantially larger with much greater financial, production and marketing resources than the Company. There are constant new entrants into the vortex mixer market, including products imported from China. The production and sale of Catalyst Research Instruments products is highly competitive. Altamira's competitors include several companies with greater resources and many laboratories which produce their own instruments. 8
The Company's Ability to Grow and Compete Effectively Depends In Part on Its Ability to Develop and Effectively Market New Products _____________________________________________________________________ Over the past ten years, the Company has continuously invested in the development and marketing of new Benchtop Laboratory Equipment products with a view to increasing revenues and reducing the Company's dependence on the Vortex-Genie 2 Mixer. Gross revenues derived from new Benchtop Laboratory Equipment products (those other than the Vortex-Genie 2 Mixer) increased to $1,484,000 for fiscal 2011 from $1,389,400, for fiscal 2010. However, the segment's ability to compete will depend upon the Company's success in continuing to develop and market new laboratory equipment as to which no assurance can be given. The Company relies primarily on distributors and their catalogs to market its Benchtop Laboratory Equipment products, as is customary in the industry. Accordingly, sales of new products are heavily dependent on the distributors' decision to include and retain a new product in the distributors' catalogs and on their websites. It may be at least 24 to 36 months between the completion of development of a product and the distribution of the catalog in which it is first offered, and not all distributors feature the Company's products in their catalogs. In fiscal 2010, the Company hired a new sales manager to bolster its sales efforts in the United States, and in May 2011, the Company engaged a consultant overseas as its European Sales Manager. The Company's Catalyst Research Instruments line of products consists of only a few products. The ability of the Company to compete in this segment and expand the line will depend on its ability to make engineering improvements to existing products and develop and add new products incorporating more current technology. Over the last two years the Company has introduced two new catalyst research products to increase its product offerings and has continuously looked to expand its outside sales force. No assurance can be given that the amounts allocated by the Company for its new product development and sales and marketing programs will be sufficient to develop additional commercially feasible products or that distributors will include or retain any particular product in their catalogs and websites. The Company May Be Subject to General Economic, Political, and Social Factors ______________________________________________________________ Orders for the Company's products, particularly its Catalyst Research Instruments products, depend in part, on the customer's ability to secure funds to finance purchases. Availability of funds can be affected by budgetary constraints. Factors such as a general economic recession, such as the one which commenced in fiscal 2009 and negatively affected the Company in fiscal 2011, or major terrorist attack could have a negative impact on the availability of funding including government or academic grants to potential customers. The Company's ability to secure new Catalyst Research Instruments orders can also be affected by changes in domestic and international policies pertaining to energy and the environment, which could affect funding of potential customers. The Company is Heavily Dependent on Outside Suppliers for the Components of Its Products _____________________________________________________________ The Company purchases all its components from outside suppliers and relies on a few single suppliers for certain of its Benchtop Laboratory Equipment products, including the Vortex-Genie 2, mostly due to cost considerations. To reduce the risk of component shortages, the Company maintains higher than normal inventories of such components. Many of the Company's suppliers, including United States vendors, produce the components directly or indirectly in overseas factories, and orders are subject to long lead times and potential other risks related to production in a foreign country. To minimize the risk of supply shortages, the Company keeps more than normal quantities on hand of the critical components that cannot easily be procured or, where feasible and cost effective, purchases are made from more than one supplier. 9
The Company's Ability to Compete Depends in Part on Its Ability To Secure and Maintain Proprietary Rights to its Products __________________________________________________________________ The Company has no patent protection for its principal Laboratory Equipment products, the Vortex-Genie 2 Mixer, and Catalyst Research products and limited patent protection on a few other Benchtop Laboratory Equipment products. There are several competitive products available in the marketplace possessing similar technical specifications and design. The Company does not have any patent protection for any of its Catalyst Research Instruments products. If the proposed acquisition of the License and sublicenses under the UMBC patent is successfully consummated, the Company's ability to conduct business in the related business will depend on the ability of the Company and the Licensor to maintain validity and enforceability of the related patent and to obtain related foreign patents. There can be no assurance that any patent issued or licensed to the Company provides or will provide the Company with competitive advantages or will not be challenged by third parties. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others will not independently develop similar products or design around the patents. Any of the foregoing activities could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Moreover, the enforcement by the Company of its patent or license rights may require substantial litigation costs. The Company Has Limited Management Resources ____________________________________________ The loss of the services of any of Ms. Helena Santos, the Company's Chief Executive and Financial Officer and President, Mr. Robert Nichols, the Company?s Executive Vice President and Mr. Brookman March, President of Altamira, or any material expansion of the Company's operations could place a significant additional strain on the Company?s limited management resources and could be materially adverse to the Company's operating results and financial condition. The Common Stock of the Company is Thinly Traded and is Subject to Volatility __________________________________________________________________ As of August 19, 2011, there were only 1,196,577 shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding, of which 331,772 shares (28%) were held by the directors and officers of the Company. The Common Stock of the Company is traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board and, historically, has been thinly traded. There have been a number of trading days during fiscal 2011 on which no trades of the Company's Common Stock were reported. Accordingly, the market price for the Common Stock is subject to great volatility. Item 2. Properties. The Company's executive offices and principal manufacturing facility for its Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations comprise approximately 25,000 square feet, are located in Bohemia, New York and held pursuant to a lease expiring in January 2015. The Company's Catalyst Research Instruments Operations are conducted from an approximately 6,600 square foot facility in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania held pursuant to lease. The Company is negotiating an extension of the lease term which expired on July 31, 2011. See Note 9 to the Financial Statements in Item 8. The leased facilities are suitable and adequate for each of the Company's operations. In the opinion of management, all properties are adequately covered by insurance. Item 3. Legal Proceedings. The Company is not a party to any pending legal proceedings. 10
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. PART II Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities. ______________________________________________________________ The Company's Common Stock is traded in the over-the-counter market. The following table sets forth the low and high bid quotations for each quarter of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2011, as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Electronic Bulletin Board.

(b) On December 15, 2010, the Company paid a cash dividend of $.09 per share to stockholders of record on October 18, 2010. On December 21, 2009, the Company paid a cash dividend of $.06 per share to stockholders of record on October 23, 2009. The Company is not subject to any agreement which prohibits or restricts the Company from paying dividends on its Common Stock. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Forward-Looking statements. 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, success of marketing strategy, success of expansion efforts, impact of competition, adverse economic conditions, and other factors affecting the Company's business that are beyond the Company's control, which are discussed elsewhere in this report. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this report. 11 Overview. The Company's income before income taxes decreased to $307,200 for fiscal 2011 compared to $777,600 for fiscal 2010, mainly the result of substantially reduced sales of catalyst research instruments, which the Company believes was the result from the negative general economic conditions since the end of calendar year 2008. Due to the nature of the catalyst research instruments business whereby it can take up to 60 months for an order to materialize, their business cycles tend to lag the overall economy. Although customer inquiries and resulting quotations are at a high level, there is still uncertainty as to future sales of catalyst research instruments due to the continued economic uncertainty. Strategically, the Company is focusing on non-Government customers and emerging markets such as China, India and Brazil. The Company continues to monitor global economic uncertainties and other risks that may affect its business, however, it cannot predict with certainty the magnitude or duration of the impact. Results of Operations. Net sales for fiscal 2011 decreased by $1,200,300 (17.0%) to $5,869,800 as compared with $7,070,100 for fiscal 2010. Net sales of Benchtop Laboratory Equipment products increased by $252,400 (5.9%), the result of increased sales to U.S. and overseas customers. Net sales of Catalyst Research Instruments products decreased by $1,452,700 (51.9%) due to a decrease in orders resulting from a lack of customer funding. Sales of this segment?s products are comprised of a small number of large orders, typically averaging more than $100,000 each. As of June 30, 2011, the order backlog for Catalyst Research Instrument products was $424,600, all of which the Company anticipates filling by September 30, 2011, compared with $454,000 as of June 30, 2010. The gross profit percentage for fiscal 2011 increased to 41.0% compared to 38.8% for fiscal 2010, due primarily to sales mix of the operating segments and slightly higher margins for the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations. General and administrative expenses for fiscal 2011 increased by $76,900 (7.0%) to $1,175,100 compared to $1,098,200 for fiscal 2010, primarily the result of an increase in expenses incurred to investigate potential business opportunities in fields other than those of the two segments. Selling expenses for fiscal 2011 increased by $84,400 (15.2%) to $638,500 from $554,100 for fiscal 2010, primarily due to an increase in sales commissions paid to independent sales representatives and travel expenses by the Catalyst Research Instruments Operations. Research and development expenses decreased by $19,400 (5.6%) to $324,400 compared to $343,800 for fiscal 2010, primarily the result of lower cost new product development projects by the Catalyst Research Instruments Operations. Other income increased by $2,500 (7.4%) to $36,400 for fiscal 2011 from $33,900 for fiscal 2010, primarily because of subrental income earned by the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations. The lower income tax expense for fiscal 2011 of $79,600 compared to $237,900 for fiscal 2010 was due to lower income. As a result of the foregoing, net income for fiscal 2011 was $227,600, a decrease of $312,100 (57.8%) from $539,700 for fiscal 2010. Liquidity and Capital Resources. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $275,100 (43.5%) to $907,800 as of June 30, 2011 from $632,700 as of June 30, 2010. 12
Net cash provided by operating activities was $652,500 for fiscal 2011 as compared to $115,300 for fiscal 2010, due mainly to the higher collection of accounts receivable balances. Cash used in investing activities increased from $154,500 to $269,700, primarily due to the higher amount of additional consideration paid for the last payment period for the acquisition of Altamira and purchases of new factory equipment. Cash used in financing activities increased to $107,700 for fiscal 2011 from $66,500 for fiscal 2010 mainly due to the higher cash dividend paid in fiscal 2011. The Company's working capital of $3,724,000 as of June 30, 2011 increased by $211,300 (6.0%) from the working capital of $3,512,700 as of June 30, 2010, primarily the result of operating income and the lesser contingent consideration for the acquisition of Altamira Instruments, Inc., payment of which ended in November 2010. 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, to bear interest at 3.08 percentage points above the LIBOR Index, which was approximately 3.25% at June 30, 2011 and 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 13, 2013 with a requirement that the Company is to reduce the outstanding principal balance to zero during the 30 day period ending on the anniversary date of the promissory note. As of September 9, 2011, no borrowings under the line have been made. Management believes that the Company will be able to meet, absent a material capital expenditure, its cash flow needs including those it expects to incur if the proposed acquisition of the bioprocessing License and sublicenses is successfully consummated, during the 12 months ending June 30, 2012 from its available financial resources including its cash and investment securities, and operations. Capital Expenditures. During fiscal 2011, the Company incurred $63,600 in capital expenditures. The Company expects that based on its current operations, its capital expenditures will not be materially higher for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012, except for payments to be made in connection with the acquisition, if consummated, of the bioprocessing License and sublicenses. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. None. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. The Financial Statements required by this item are attached hereto on pages F1-F21. Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure. Not applicable. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, based on an evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer of the Company has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the applicable time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms. The Company also concluded that information required to be disclosed in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 13
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Company's financial reporting, as such term is defined in Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). The Company's internal controls over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer of the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's internal controls over financial reporting as of June 30, 2011 based on the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Tread way Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. Based on the assessment of the Company's Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, it was concluded that as of June 30, 2011, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting were effective based on these criteria. This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There was no change in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal controls over financial reporting. Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls. The Company's management, including its Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, believes that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. However, management does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures or its internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Item 9B. Other Information. Not applicable. 14

The Board of Directors acts as the Company's Audit Committee. The Company does not have a financial expert on the Audit Committee as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, however, the Company believes that the members have sufficient knowledge to properly evaluate and analyze the Company's financial statements. Executive Officers Helena R. Santos, CPA (age 47), employed by the Company since 1994, has served since August 2002 as President, Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer. See "Directors" for additional background information. Robert P. Nichols (age 50), employed by the Company since February 1998, has served since August 2002 as Executive Vice President.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance The Company believes that, for fiscal 2011, its officers, directors and 10% stockholders timely complied with all filing requirements of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Code of Ethics We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to our Executive Officers and Directors. A copy of the code of ethics can be found on our website at www.scientificindustries.com. Item 11. Executive Compensation. Compensation Discussion and Analysis. The Compensation Committee reviews and recommends to the Board of Directors the compensation to be paid to each executive officer. In making a determination, the Committee and the Board give material consideration to the Company's results of operations and financial condition, competitive factors and the Company's resources. The compensation at times includes grants of options under its stock option plan to the named executives. Each officer is employed pursuant to a long-term employment agreement, containing terms proposed by the Committee and approved as reasonable by the Board of Directors. The Board is cognizant that as a relatively small company, the Company has limited resources and opportunities with respect to recruiting and retaining key executives. Accordingly, the Company has relied upon long-term employment agreements and grants of stock options to retain qualified personnel. Compensation for each of its executive officers provided by their employment agreements were based on the foregoing factors and the operating and financial results of the segments under their management. 16

(3) Represents amount paid to his affiliate pursuant to a marketing consulting agreement (see Items 12 and 13). (4) Represents compensation received for her administrative services as a consultant for Altamira (see Items 12 and 13). The Company pays each Director who is not an employee of the Company or a subsidiary a quarterly retainer fee of $1,800 (increased in January 2011 from $1,500) and $1,200 (increased from $1,000 in January 2011) for each meeting attended. In addition, the Company reimburses each Director for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at board meetings in the amount of $50 or the Director's itemized expenses, whichever is greater. Mr. Cremonese, as Chairman of the Board receives an additional fee of $1,200 (increased in January 2011 from $1,000) per month. During fiscal 2011, the fees to non-employee Directors aggregated $137,700, including the consulting fees paid to Mr. Cremonese's affiliate, and to Ms. Morin. Pursuant to the Company's 1992 Stock Option Plan ("1992 Plan") options to purchase 3,000 shares of Common Stock at the then fair market value were granted to each non-employee Director who was on the Board of Directors on the first business day of each March, in 1993, 1994, 1995, and 1996, namely Messrs. Borden, Kesselman, Knowles and Segasture. In addition, in December 1997 and through December 2001 the Board of Directors granted under the 1992 Plan annually options to purchase 4,000 shares of Common Stock to each of them exercisable at the fair market value on the date of grant. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2011, the Company had granted under the 1992 Plan to the foregoing four non-employee Directors options to purchase an aggregate of 128,000 shares of Common Stock, or options to purchase 32,000 shares of Common Stock to each. The fair market value per share of Common Stock on the dates of grant ranged from $0.50 for options granted in 1993 to $2.40 in 2001. As of June 30, 2011, options under the 1992 Plan with respect to 94,000 shares had been exercised by the Directors and with respect to 22,000 shares had expired. In addition, they had exercised options with respect to 48,000 shares granted to them prior to the adoption of the 1992 Plan. Under the Company's 2002 Plan, none of the Directors at the time of the adoption by the Board of Directors of the 2002 Plan (subsequently approved by stockholders) were eligible to receive option grants thereunder. Mr. Joseph G. Cremonese who was elected a Director at the 2002 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, was granted ten year options on December 1, 2003 to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock at the fair market value of $1.35 per share, on February 20, 2007 to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock at the fair market value of $3.10 per share, and five-year options on September 17, 2009 to purchase 10,000 shares at the fair market value of $1.88 per share, and on January 7, 2011 to purchase 10,000 shares at the fair market value of $1.53 per share. The $1.53 option had a total fair value (as determined by the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model) of $15,300 which was all recognized as consulting expense in fiscal 2011. None of the options have been exercised to date. 20

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm _______________________________________________________ Board of Directors and Shareholders Scientific Industries, Inc. Bohemia, New York We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Scientific Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and comprehensive income and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Scientific Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ Nussbaum Yates Berg Klein & Wolpow, LLP ___________________________________________ Nussbaum Yates Berg Klein & Wolpow, LLP Melville, New York September 16, 2011 F-1

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Accounts Receivable In order to record the Company's accounts receivable at their net realizable value, the Company must assess their collectability. A considerable amount of judgment is required in order to make this assessment, including an analysis of historical bad debts and other adjustments, a review of the aging of the Company's receivables, and the current creditworthiness of the Company's customers. The Company has recorded allowances for receivables which it considered uncollectible, including amounts for the resolution of potential credit and other collection issues such as disputed invoices, customer satisfaction claims and pricing discrepancies. However, depending on how such potential issues are resolved, or if the financial condition of any of the Company's customers was to deteriorate and its ability to make required payments became impaired, increases in these allowances may be required. The Company actively manages its accounts receivable to minimize credit risk. The Company does not obtain collateral for its accounts receivable. Customer Advances In the ordinary course of business, customers of Altamira may make advance payments for purchase orders issued to Altamira. Such amounts, when received, are categorized as liabilities under the caption customer advances. Investment Securities Securities available for sale are carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported in a separate component of shareholders' equity. Realized gains or losses are determined based on the specific identification method. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on first in, first out basis) or market value, and have been reduced by an allowance for excess and obsolete inventories. The estimate is based on management's review of inventories on hand compared to estimated future usage and sales. Cost of work-in-process and finished goods inventories include material, labor and manufacturing overhead. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided for primarily by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized by the straight-line method over the term of the related lease or the estimated useful lives of the assets, whichever is shorter. F-7
SCIENTIFIC INDUSTRIES, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011 AND 2010 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Intangible Assets Intangible assets consist of acquired technology, customer relationships, non-compete agreements, patents, licenses, trademarks and trade names. All intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years, except for customer relationships which are amortized on an accelerated (declining-balance) basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company continually evaluates the remaining estimated useful lives of intangible assets that are being amortized to determine whether events or circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets of companies acquired. Goodwill and long-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of ACS No. 350, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other" ("ASC No. 350"). ASC No. 350 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. The Company tests goodwill annually as of June 30, the last day of its fourth fiscal quarter, of each year unless an event occurs that would cause the Company to believe the value is impaired at an interim date. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company follows the provisions of ASC No. 360-10, "Property, Plant and Equipment - Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("ASC No. 360-10"). ASC No. 360-10 requires evaluation of the need for an impairment charge relating to long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If an evaluation for impairment is required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset would be compared to the asset's carrying amount to determine if a write down to a new depreciable basis is required. If required, an impairment charge is recorded based on an estimate of future discounted cash flows. F-8

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Income Taxes The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. The Company provides for federal, and state income taxes currently payable, as well as for those deferred due to timing differences between reporting income and expenses for financial statement purposes versus tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attribute to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in income tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. Advertising Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense amounted to $26,000 and $21,300 for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. Stock Compensation Plan The Company has a ten-year stock option plan (the "2002 Plan") which provides for the grant of options to purchase up to 100,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.05 per share ("Common Stock"), plus to the extent that options previously granted under the 1992 Stock Option Plan of the Company (the "Prior Plan") expire or terminate for any reason without having been exercised, then options exercisable for that same number of shares of Common Stock, up to a maximum of one hundred sixty one thousand (161,000) shares, may be granted pursuant to the 2002 Plan. The 2002 Plan provides for the granting of incentive or non-incentive stock options as defined in the 2002 Plan and options under the 2002 Plan may be granted until 2012. Incentive stock options may be granted to employees at an exercise price equal to 100% (or 110% if the optionee owns directly or indirectly more than 10% of the outstanding voting stock) of the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of the grant. Non-incentive stock options are to be granted at an exercise price not less than 85% of the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of grant. The 2002 Plan also stipulates that none of the then members of the Board of Directors shall be eligible to receive option grants under the 2002 Plan. The options expire at various dates through September 2018. At June 30, 2011, F-9
SCIENTIFIC INDUSTRIES, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011 AND 2010 91,334 shares of Common Stock were available for grant under the 2002 Plan and the Prior Plan. 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Stock Compensation Plan (Continued) Stock-based compensation is accounted for in accordance with ASC No. 718 "Compensation-Stock Compensation" ("ASC No. 718") which requires compensation costs related to stock-based payment transactions to be recognized. With limited exceptions, the amount of compensation cost is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. In addition, liability awards are measured at each reporting period. Compensation costs are recognized over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. During the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company granted 12,000 and 16,500 options that had a fair value of $19,900 and $20,500, respectively, to employees and consultants. The fair value of the options granted during fiscal years 2011 and 2010 were determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The weighted average assumptions used for fiscal 2011 and 2010, respectively, were an expected life of 6 and 5 years; risk free interest rate of 2.09% and 2.48%; volatility of 73% and 83%; and dividend yield of 3.0% and 3.47%. The weighted-average value per share of the options granted in 2011 and 2010 was $1.66 and $1.25, respectively, and stock-based compensation costs were $21,300 and $17,400 for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Stock-based compensation costs related to nonvested awards to be recognized in the future are $3,200 and $3,900 as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company did not grant any options or warrants as compensation for goods or services to non-employees, except to a director who was granted 10,000 options that had a fair value of $15,300 and $9,300 in each of the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, for consulting services. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially from management's estimates. Earnings Per Common Share Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of stock options. F-10
SCIENTIFIC INDUSTRIES, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011 AND 2010 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) New Accounting Pronouncements In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-05, "Comprehensive Income (ASC Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income," ("ASU No. 2011-05") which amends current comprehensive income guidance. This accounting update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of stockholders' equity. Instead, the Company must report comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income which contains two sections, net income and other comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 will be effective for public companies during the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2011-05 will have an impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows as it only requires a change in the format of our current presentation. In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29, "Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations." This standard requires an entity to disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. ASU No. 2010-29 is effective prospectively for business combinations that occur on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU No. 2010-29 will have an impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. 2. Segment Information and Concentrations The Company views its operations as two segments: the manufacture and marketing of standard benchtop laboratory equipment for research in university, hospital and industrial laboratories sold primarily through laboratory equipment distributors ("Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations"), and the manufacture and marketing of custom- made catalyst research instruments for universities, government laboratories, and chemical and petrochemical companies sold on a direct basis ("Catalyst Research Instruments Operations").

Certain information relating to the Company's export sales follows: 2011 2010 __________ __________ Export sales (principally Europe and Asia) $3,160,100 $2,582,600 3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Financial Accounting Standards Board 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 around fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy for 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 valuation that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. F-13

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets In conjunction with the acquisition of Altamira, management of the Company valued the tangible and intangible assets acquired, including customer relationships, non-compete agreements and technology which encompasses trade names, trademarks and licenses. The valuation resulted in an initial negative goodwill of approximately $91,500 on the date of acquisition which was subsequently adjusted to positive goodwill of $447,900 and $405,200 at June 30, 2011 and 2010, all of which is deductible for tax purposes. The related agreement provided for contingent payments to the former shareholders based on net sales of the Catalyst Research Instrument Operations subject to certain limits, which were earned and paid.
