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 months ended September
30, 2013, 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), Altamira Instruments, Inc.("Altamira", a wholly owned
subsidiary and Delaware corporation), Scientific Packaging Industries,
Inc. (an inactive wholly owned subsidiary and New York corporation)
and Scientific Bioprocessing, Inc., ("SBI", a wholly owned subsidiary
and 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 carry 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 is not
expected to have a material impact to the Company's consolidated
financial statements.
5
3. Acquisition:
On November 14, 2011, the Company through SBI acquired substantially
all of the assets of a privately owned company consisting principally
of a license and sublicenses under patents held by the University of
Maryland, Baltimore County ("UMBC") with respect to the design,
development and production of bioprocessing methods, systems and
products. The acquisition was pursuant to an asset purchase
agreement. The Company paid to the seller $260,000 in cash, issued
135,135 shares of Common Stock valued at $400,000, issued to UMBC a
$230,000 36-month note payable, and agreed to make additional cash
payments equal to 30% of net royalties received under the acquired
license and sublicenses, estimated at a present value of $128,000
on the date of acquisition.
SBI's revenues are derived from royalties received by SBI under the
various sublicense agreements, net of royalty payments due to UMBC
and revenues from future sales of certain products being developed
under its existing license. University, government, and industrial
laboratories working primarily in the biotechnology industry worldwide
are its targeted customers.
Management of the Company allocated the purchase price based on its
valuation of the assets acquired, all of which are intangible, as
follows:
Technology, trademarks, and in-process
research & development ("IPR&D") $ 500,000
Sublicense agreements 294,000
Engineering drawings and software 64,000
Non-competition agreements 18,000
Goodwill* 142,000
__________
Total Purchase Price $1,018,000
==========
*See Note 8, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets".
The amounts allocated to Technology, Trademarks, and IPR&D and
Sublicense Agreements are deemed to have a useful life of 10 years,
and to the remaining intangible assets to have a useful life of 5
years, all of which are being amortized on a straight-line basis,
except for goodwill.
In connection with the acquisition, SBI entered into a research and
development agreement providing for the seller to perform services
with respect to the research and development of bioprocessing
methods, systems, and products pursuant to programs set forth in the
Agreement at a fee of $14,000 per month plus all related expenses. The
agreement was terminated in June 2013 as a result of the death of the
seller's chief operating officer.

4. Segment Information and Concentrations:
The Company views its operations as three 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"), 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") and the marketing and production of bioprocessing
systems for laboratory research in the biotechnology industry sold
directly to customers and through distributors ("Bioprocessing Systems").

Approximately 68% and 61% of net sales of benchtop laboratory equipment
for the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively,
were derived from the Company's main product, the Vortex-Genie 2(R) mixer,
excluding accessories.
7
Two customers accounted in the aggregate for approximately 15% and 22% of
the net sales of the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations and 11% and
17% of the Company's revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2013,
and 2012, respectively. Sales of catalyst research instruments generally
comprise a few very large orders averaging at least $100,000 per order to a
limited number of customers, who differ from order to order. Sales to three
customers during the three months ended September 30, 2013 accounted for
approximately 94% of the Catalyst Research Instrument Operations' revenues
and 22% of the Company's total revenues and to five different customers
for the three months ended September 30, 2012 accounted for 97% of the
segment's revenues and 17% of the Company's total revenues.
The Company's foreign sales are principally to customers in Europe and Asia.
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 around 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 valuation that require inputs that are both significant
to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy
the Company's financial assets that were accounted for at fair value on a
recurring basis at September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013 according to the
valuation techniques the Company used to determine their fair values:

7. Earnings (Loss) per common share:
Basic earnings (loss) per common share are computed by dividing net
income or loss by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding.
Diluted earnings per common share include the dilutive effect of stock
options, if any.
Earnings (Loss) per common share was computed as follows:

Approximately 28,500 and 60,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options were excluded from
the calculation of diluted earnings per common share for the three months
ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, 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 acquisition of
Altamira and SBI's acquisition of assets. Goodwill amounted to $589,900
as of September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, all of which is expected to be
deductible for tax purposes.
The components of other intangible assets are as follows:

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 to customers' specifications catalyst research
instruments, and to develop marketable bioprocessing systems, 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 by $194,600 to $732,700 as of
September 30, 2013 from $927,300 as of June 30, 2013.
Net cash used in operating activities was $159,100 for the three months
ended September 30, 2013 as compared to cash provided by operating
activities of $19,800 for the comparable three month period in 2012,
due mainly to the income tax payments made and lower cash advances in
the current period compared to the prior period. Cash used in investing
activities was $16,100 for the three month period ended September 30,
2013 compared to $21,800 for the three month period ended September 30,
2012 due primarily to decreased capital expenditures. Cash used in
financing activities was $19,400 and $18,700 for the three months ended
September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to principal payments
on a note related to a recent acquisition.

Results of Operations
Financial Overview
The Company recorded income of $3,000 before income tax expense for
the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to a loss of
$87,700 before income tax benefit for the comparable period last year;
the improvement, primarily the result of a smaller loss by the
Bioprocessing Systems Operations due to lower research and development
expenses during the current year period. The Catalyst Research
Instruments Operations also incurred a smaller loss in the current
year period primarily due to higher sales.
The Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared With the Three
Months Ended September 30, 2012
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2013 increased by
$84,400 (6.2%) to $1,436,100 from $1,351,700 for the three months
ended September 30, 2012, primarily as a result of a $55,500 increase
in catalyst research instrument sales and a $24,100 increase in revenue
of the bioprocessing systems operations. Sales of benchtop laboratory
products increased slightly by $4,800 compared to the same period last
year. Sales of 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 Bioprocessing Systems
Operations' revenues consist primarily of earned royalties. The
backlog of orders for catalyst research instruments was $513,400 as of
September 30, 2013, substantially all of which is expected to be
delivered by fiscal year end, as compared to the backlog as of
September 30, 2012 of $1,240,000.
The gross profit percentage for the three months ended September
30, 2013 increased to 41.4% compared to 34.4% for the three months
ended September 30, 2012, due to product mix.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 2013 increased by $23,400 (8.4%) to $303,000 from
$279,600 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, primarily
due to an increase in expenses incurred by the Benchtop Laboratory
Equipment Operations.
Selling expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013
increased $40,600 (26.0%) to $197,000 from $156,400 for the three
months ended September 30, 2012, primarily the result of increased
sales commissions and exhibitions expenses for the Catalyst
Research Instruments Operations.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 2013 decreased by $22,900 (19.1%) to $97,200 from
$120,100 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, primarily
the result of lower product development costs related to the
Bioprocessing Systems Operations during the current quarter
due to the termination of an R&D agreement.
13
Other income increased by $2,000 to $6,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2013 from $4,000 for the prior year period,
mainly due to lower interest expense incurred by the Bioprocessing
Systems Operations and higher miscellaneous income.
For the three months ended September 30, 2013, the income tax
expense was $900 compared to an income tax benefit of $25,500 for
the three months ended September 30, 2012.
As a result, net income for the three months ended September 30, 2013
of $2,100 compared to a net loss of $62,200 for the three months
ended September 30, 2012.
