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, 2015. The results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016, are not necessarily an indication of the results for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2016. 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. Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers amending revenue recognition requirements for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. This update provides guidance on how revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services. This determination is made in five steps: (i) identify the contract with the customer: (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, or the Company's fiscal year ending June 30, 2020, and early adoption of the standard is permitted, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2017. The Company is evaluating the effect this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. 5 In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could be Achieved After the Requisite Service Period. This update affects reporting entities that grant their employee's targets that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The new standard requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite services period be treated as a performance condition. The new standard will be effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. The Company expects the adoption will not have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, "Inventory: Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory", that requires inventory not measured using either the last in, first out (LIFO) or the retail inventory method to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable cost of completion, disposal and transportation. The new standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and will be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. In November 2015, the FASB issued new guidance simplifying the balance sheet classification of deferred taxes. The new guidance requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The current requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets of a tax-paying component of an entity be offset and presented as a single amount is not affected by the new guidance. The guidance is effective for public companies for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The new guidance may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that requires lessees to account for most leases on their balance sheets with the liability being equal to the present value of the lease payments. The right-of-use asset will be based on the lease liability adjusted for certain costs such as direct costs. Lease expense will be recognized similar to current accounting guidance with operating leases resulting in a straight- line expense and financing leases resulting in a front-loaded expense similar to the current accounting for capital leases. This guidance becomes effective for the Company's fiscal 2020 first quarter, with early adoption permitted. This guidance must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements, and provides for certain practical expedients. The Company is currently evaluating the timing, impact and method of applying this guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" (ASU 2016-09). Areas for simplification in this update involve several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early application permitted. 6 The Company is currently evaluating the timing, impact and method of applying this guidance on its consolidated financial statements. 3. Acquisition: On February 26, 2014, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of a privately owned company consisting principally of inventory, fixed assets, and intangible assets related to the production and sale of a variety of laboratory and pharmacy balances and scales. The acquisition was pursuant to an asset purchase agreement whereby the Company paid the sellers $700,000 in cash, 126,449 shares of Common Stock valued at $427,500 and agreed to make additional cash payment based on a percentage of net sales of the business acquired equal to 8% for the period ended June 30, 2014 annualized, 9% for the year ended 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. Payments related to this contingent consideration for each period are due in September following the fiscal year. Contingent consideration payments amounted to $100,900 and $98,900 during the nine month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. 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 precision scales. The products are sold primarily on a direct basis, including the Company's e-commerce site. 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 ___________ Total Purchase Price $ 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 an estimated useful life of 9 years, $140,000 was assigned to the trade name with an estimated useful life of 6 years, $110,000 was assigned to the IPR&D with an estimated useful life of 3 years, and $270,000 was assigned to non-compete agreements with an estimated useful life of 5 years. In connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into a three-year employment agreement with the previous Chief Operating Officer of the acquired business as President of the Company's new Torbal Division and Director of Marketing for the Company. The agreement may be extended by mutual consent for an additional two years. 7 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").

Two benchtop laboratory equipment customers, accounted for approximately 15% and 17% of the segment's net sales (12% and 13% of total revenues) for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Sales of catalyst research instruments to four customers in the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and to seven other customers in the nine months ended March 31, 2015 accounted for approximately 87% and 97% of that segment's net sales (16% and 19% of total revenues) for the respective nine month periods. 9 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. 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, 2016 and June 30, 2015 according to the valuation techniques the Company used to determine their fair values: Fair Value Measurements Using Inputs Considered as Assets: Fair Value at March 31, 2016 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 ______________ __________ _______ ________ Cash and cash equivalents $1,081,000 $1,081,000 $ - $ - Restricted cash 300,000 300,000 - - Available for sale securities 282,300 282,300 - - __________ __________ _______ _________ Total $1,663,300 $1,663,300 $ - $ - ========== ========== ======== ========= Liabilities: Contingent consideration $ 266,200 $ - $ - $266,200 ========== ========== ======== ========= Fair Value Measurements Using Inputs Considered as Assets: Fair Value at June 30, 2015 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 ______________ __________ _______ ________ Cash and cash equivalents $ 482,000 $ 482,000 $ - $ - Restricted cash 300,000 300,000 - - Available for sale securities 281,800 281,800 - - __________ __________ _______ ________ Total $1,063,800 $1,063,800 $ - $ - ========== ========== ======= ======== Liabilities: Contingent consideration $ 367,100 $ - $ - $367,100 ========== ========== ======= ======== 10 Investments in marketable securities classified as available-for-sale by security type at March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015 consisted of the following: Unrealized Fair Holding Gain Cost Value (Loss) ____________ _________ ____________ At March 31, 2016: Available for sale: Equity securities $ 29,300 $ 39,700 $ 10,400 Mutual funds 258,200 242,600 (15,600) _________ _________ ____________ $ 287,500 $ 282,300 $ ( 5,200) ========= ========= ============ Unrealized Fair Holding Gain Cost Value (Loss) ____________ _________ ____________ At June 30, 2015: Available for sale: Equity securities $ 29,300 $ 35,800 $ 6,500 Mutual funds 255,800 246,000 ( 9,800) __________ _________ __________ $ 285,100 $ 281,800 $ ( 3,300) ========== ========= ========== 6.

As of March 31, 2016, estimated future amortization expense related to intangible assets is $71,200 for the remainder of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016, $337,000 for fiscal 2017, $324,000 for fiscal 2018, $246,600 for fiscal 2019, $80,400 for fiscal 2020, and $136,200 thereafter. 13 SCIENTIFIC INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 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 increased $599,000 to $1,081,000 as of March 31, 2016 from $482,000 as of June 30, 2015. Operating activities used cash of $214,900 for the nine month period ended March 31, 2016 as compared to the $194,900 for the nine month period ended March 31, 2015. The current year period reflected higher amounts of work-in-progress inventories for the Catalyst Research Instruments Operations related to a significant impending order to be shipped overseas, partially offset by lower accounts receivable balances and increases in accounts payable, customer advances, and accrued expenses. Net cash used in investing activities was $55,200 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 compared to net cash provided of $62,300 for the comparable period last year primarily due to the lack of investment securities redemptions in the current year. Net cash provided by financing activities was $869,100 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $6,800 used in the comparable prior year period primarily due to the proceeds from the export-related line of credit to finance the inventories for a significant catalyst research instrument order for overseas. The Company's working capital increased by $99,300 to $3,510,600 as of March 31, 2016 from $3,411,300 at June 30, 2015. The Company has two lines of credit with First National Bank of Pennsylvania - an Export-Related Revolving Line of Credit which is guaranteed by the Export-Import Bank of the United States which provides for export-related borrowings of up to $998,500 bearing interest at prime plus 2% (currently 5.50%) and an annual fee of 1.75%; and a second one-year Demand Line of Credit which provides for borrowings of up to $300,000 for regular working capital needs, bearing interest at prime, which is collaterized by a cash collateral account of $300,000 which will be released upon certain financial criteria being met or the line being paid and terminated, which ever comes first. Advances on both lines are also secured by a pledge of the Company's assets including inventory, accounts, chattel paper, equipment and general intangibles of the Company. As of March 31, 14 2016 $970,000 was outstanding under the Export-Related line and no borrowings were made under the second line. Management believes that the Company will be able to meet its cash flow needs during the next 12 months 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 reported a loss before income tax benefit amounting to $48,300 and $3,100, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2016, compared to $31,600 of income before income tax expense and a $373,800 loss before income tax benefit for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2015, respectively. The results reflect non-cash amounts for depreciation and amortization of $108,300 and $319,100 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $107,100 and $327,200 for the prior periods, respectively. The loss for the current three month period compared to the prior year period's income is due primarily to lower sales of benchtop laboratory equipment compared to the prior year period which benefitted from an unusual backlog related to the facility move in the prior year, and lower overseas sales of benchtop laboratory equipment. The improvement in the current year nine month period's operating results is primarily due to higher sales and margins generated by the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations which benefitted from some large orders from overseas and the absence of moving expenses incurred in the prior year period. The Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 Compared With the Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 ____________________________________________________________________ Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased by $54,900 (3.2%) to $1,674,300 from $1,729,200 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as a result of a $278,700 decrease in benchtop laboratory equipment sales, partially offset by increases of $220,300 and $3,500 in catalyst research instrument sales and bioprocessing systems revenues, respectively. 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 $3,027,000 as of March 31, 2016, most of which is expected to be delivered by fiscal year end, as compared to the backlog of $1,154,000 as of March 31, 2015. The Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations sales included $248,300 and $287,500 of Torbal brand product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was 40.7% compared to 44.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2015, due primarily to sales mix, partially offset by lower overhead costs of the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased $7,200 (1.7%) to $426,700 compared to $433,900 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily due to decreased travel expenses for the Bioprocessing Systems Operations. 15 Selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased $6,000 (3.0%) to $196,200 from $202,200 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily due to decreased sales commissions for catalyst research instruments due to sales mix. Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased slightly to $93,400 from $94,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Total other expense amounted to $13,200 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to expense of $5,100 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 due primarily to increased interest expense. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $11,400 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to income tax expense of $12,600 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 due to the loss for the current period. As a result of the foregoing, the net loss was $36,900 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to net income of $19,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Nine Months Ended March 31, 2016 Compared With the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2015 ____________________________________________________________________ Net revenues increased by $64,500 (1.3%) to $5,146,900 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $5,082,400 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, due to increases of $234,500 in benchtop laboratory equipment and $13,000 in bioprocessing revenues; partially offset by decreases of $183,000 in catalyst research instrument sales. The 2016 benchtop laboratory equipment sales included $850,500 of Torbal brand product sales compared to $797,300 in the prior year period. The gross profit percentage for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 increased to 41.1% compared to 38.5% for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, due principally to product mix and lower overhead costs of the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations. General and administrative expenses decreased by $56,000 (4.4%) to $1,230,500 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 from $1,286,500 for the comparable period of the prior year, due primarily to the absence of the costs associated with the move of the Company's principal facility in the prior year. Selling expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 decreased by $136,500 (18.8%) to $590,400 from $726,900 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, primarily the result of decreased commissions due to sales mix and exhibitions expense for the Catalyst Research Instruments Operations. Research and development expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 decreased by $54,700 (17.2%) to $263,000 from $317,700 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, primarily due to decreased new product development expenses by the Company's Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations as new products were completed and are being launched. 16 Total other expense was $33,200 for the nine month period ended March 31, 2016 compared to income of $700 for the nine month period ended March 31, 2015 due to the increased interest expense. Income tax benefit for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 was $500 compared to $93,500 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015. As a result of the foregoing, the net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 was $2,600 compared to $280,300 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015. Item 4.
