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, 2016. The results for the three
and six months ended December 31, 2016, are not necessarily
an indication of the results for the full fiscal year ending
June 30, 2017.
1. Summary of significant accounting policies:
Principles of consolidation:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Scientific Industries, Inc., Scientific Packaging
Industries, Inc., an inactive wholly-owned subsidiary, Altamira
Instruments, Inc. ("Altamira"), a Delaware corporation and wholly-
owned subsidiary, and Scientific Bioprocessing, Inc. ("SBI"), a
Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary, (all collectively
referred to as the "Company"). All material intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated.
2. New Accounting Pronouncements:
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 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. The Company is currently evaluating the
timing, impact and method of applying this guidance on its
consolidated financial statements.
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 become effective
for the Company's fiscal 2020 first quarter, with early adoption
permitted.
5
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 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 does not
expect the adoption to 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 does not expect the adoption to have a material impact
on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 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 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.

4. 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 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.
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 December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016 according to the
valuation techniques the Company used to determine their fair values:

Approximately 43,500 and 38,500 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 and six
month periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, because the
effect would be anti-dilutive.

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 $347,900 to $897,100 as of December
31, 2016 from $1,245,000 as of June 30, 2016.
Net cash used in operating activities was $450,300 for the six months ended
December 31, 2016 compared to $167,400 used during the six months ended
December 31, 2015. The current year period reflected a loss as compared to
income in the prior year period, higher accounts receivable balances,
increased prepayments to vendors, and lower accounts payable and decreased
accrued expense items, partially offset by lower inventories. Cash used
in investing activities was $27,000 for the six months ended December 31,
2016 compared to $16,800 for the six months ended December 31, 2015
primarily due to fixed asset and intangibles purchases. Cash provided by
financing activities was $129,300 for the six months ended December 31,
2016 compared to $184,900 for the six months ended December 31, 2015
primarily due to lower amounts of line of credit proceeds and higher
contingent consideration payments.
The Company's working capital decreased by $91,400 to $3,940,500 at
December 31, 2016 from $4,031,900 at June 30, 2016.
The Company has two lines of credit through June 2017 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 $200,000, bearing interest at prime
plus 1% and an annual fee of 1.75% and a second one-year Demand Line of
Creditwhich provides for borrowings of up to $300,000 for regular working
capital needs, bearing interest at prime, currently 3.75%. Advances on
both lines are secured by a pledge of the Company's assets including
inventory, accounts, chattel paper, equipment and general intangibles
of the Company. As of December 31, 2016 the Company had $250,000
outstanding which was paid in January 2017.
Management believes that the Company will be able to meet its cash flow
needs during the next 12 months from its available financial resources
which include its cash and investment securities, lines of credit, and
operations.

Results of Operations
Financial Overview
The Company recorded income before income tax expense of $64,800 and
$123,100 for the three month periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015,
respectively; and loss before income tax benefit of $4,700 and income
before income tax expense of $45,200 for the six month periods ended
December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively primarily due to lower gross
profit amounts generated by the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations
and higher operating expenses. The results reflect non-cash amounts for
depreciation and amortization of $93,800 and $189,500 for the three and
six months ended December 31, 2015 compared to $105,600 and $210,800
respectively.
The Three Months Ended December 31, 2016 Compared With the Three Months
Ended December 31, 2015
Net revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2016 increased by
$655,600 (32.3%) to $2,683,800 from $2,028,200 for the three months
ended December 31, 2015, primarily as a result of a $777,600 increase
in sales of catalyst research instruments, partially offset by decreases
of $116,700 and $5,300 in sales and revenues of benchtop laboratory
equipment and bioprocessing products. Sales of the benchtop laboratory
equipment products generally are pursuant to many small purchase 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 $397,300 at December 31, 2016
compared to $3,102,000 as of December 31, 2015, the majority of which
are anticipated to be delivered by June 30, 2017.
The gross profit percentage for the three months ended December 31, 2016
decreased to 29.6% compared to 41.3% for the year earlier three month
period primarily due to lower gross profit margins by the Catalyst Research
Instrument Operations due to sales mix.
General and administrative expenses for the three month comparative periods
ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 increased by $13,500 (3.4%)
to $409,200 from $395,700 primarily due to various expenses incurred by the
Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations.
Selling expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2016 amounted to
$224,200 compared to $227,200 for the three months ended December 31, 2015.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31,
2016 increased $20,900 (24.9%) to $105,000 from $84,100 for the three
months ended December 31, 2015, primarily the result of increased new
product development by the Company's Benchtop Laboratory Equipment
Operations and the Bioprocessing Systems Operations.
Total other income (expense), net for the three month period ended December
31, 2016 increased by $15,900 to $8,300 from ($7,600) for the three month
period ended December 31, 2015 due to decreased interest expense as a
result of less borrowings.
14
For the three months ended December 31, 2016, income tax expense was $19,500
compared to $28,700 for the three months ended December 31, 2015 due to the
decreased income for the period.
As a result, the net income for the three months ended December 31, 2016
was $45,300 compared to $94,400 for the three months ended December 31,
2015.
The Six Months Ended December 31, 2016 Compared With the Six Months
Ended December 31, 2015
Net revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2016 increased by
$770,300 (22.2%) to $4,242,900 compared to $3,472,600 for the six months
ended December 31, 2015, primarily due to increases of $702,100 and $77,100
in sales of catalyst research instruments and benchtop laboratory equipment,
respectively, partially offset by a $8,900 decrease in revenues of the
Bioprocessing Systems Operations. Sales of benchtop laboratory equipment
products generally are comprised of many small purchase orders from
distributors, while sales of catalyst research instruments are comprised of
a small number of large orders, typically averaging over $100,000 each,
resulting in significant swings in revenues.
The gross profit percentage for the six months ended December 31, 2016
decreased to 34.5% compared to 41.3% for the six months ended December 31,
2015, primarily due to lower gross profit margins by the Catalyst Research
Instrument Operations due to sales mix.
General and administrative expenses increased by $17,700 (2.2%) to $821,600
for the six months ended December 31, 2016 from $803,900 for the comparable
period of the prior year, primarily due to various expenses incurred by the
Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations.
Selling expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2016 increased by
$46,700 (11.8%) to $440,900 from $394,200 for the six months ended December
31, 2015, primarily due to online advertising for the Benchtop Laboratory
Equipment Operations.
Research and development expenses for the six months ended December 31,
2016 increased by $50,900 (30.0%) to $220,400 compared to $169,500 for the
six months ended December 31, 2015, primarily the result of increased new
product development by the Company's Benchtop Laboratory Equipment
Operations and the Bioprocessing Systems Operations.
Total other income (expense), net, for the six month period ended December
31, 2016 increased to $13,700 from ($20,000) for the six months ended
December 31, 2015 primarily due to decreased interest expense and
miscellaneous income items.
For the six month period ended December 31, 2016 the income tax benefit was
$1,300 compared to income tax expense of $10,900 for the comparable period of
the prior fiscal year due to the loss during the current year period compared
to income in the prior year.
As a result, the net loss for the six months ended December 31, 2016 was
$3,400 compared to net income of $34,300 for the six months ended December
31, 2015.
