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, 2014.2015. The results for the three
and ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2015, are not necessarily
an indication of the results for the full fiscal year ending
June 30, 2015.2016.
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. New Accounting Pronouncements:
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with
Customers amending revenue recognition requirements for multiple-
deliverablemultiple-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;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 AprilJuly 2015, the FASB proposed
a one-year deferral ofdeferred
the effective date of the new revenue
recognition standard. If finalized as proposed, the new guidance
will be effective forto fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, or the
Company's fourth quarter of fiscal 2018year ending June 30, 2020, and early adoption of the
standard is permitted.permitted, but not before the original effective date of
December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impacteffect this guidance maywill
have on itsthe consolidated financial conditionstatements and results of operations.related disclosures.
6
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
5
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, 2015,2016, 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.
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 endingended June 30, 2014 annualized, amounting to $98,900, 9% for the
year endingended 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 six month
periods ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
7
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 through the
Company's e-commerce site.
TheManagement of the Company allocated the purchase price based on its
valuation of the assets acquired, as follows:
Current assets $ 144,000
Property and equipment 118,100
Goodwill* 115,400
Other intangible assets 1,210,000
__________
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 In
Process Research and Development ("IPR&D")&D with an estimated
useful life of 3 years, and $270,000 was assigned to non-
competenon-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.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
information in the table below summarizes the consolidated
results of operations of the Company including its new Torbal
Division, on a pro forma basis, as though the companies had
been consolidated as of the beginning of the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed financial
information presented below is for informational purposes only
and is not intended to represent or be indicative of the
consolidated results of the operations that would have been
achieved if the acquisition had been completed as of the
commencement of the fiscal year presented. In addition,
the Company was unable to obtain audited historical information
and, therefore the information presented is based on
management's best judgment.

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.
10
The accounting guidance also expands the disclosure requirements concerningaround
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 valuationsvaluation 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 MarchDecember 31, 2015 and June 30, 20142015 according to the
valuation techniques the Company used to determine their fair values:

Results of Operations
Financial Overview
The Company recorded respectively, income before income taxestax expense of $31,600$123,100 and a loss before income tax benefit of $373,800$45,200
for the three and ninesix month periods ended MarchDecember 31, 2015 compared to a loss
before income tax benefit of $79,800amounting to $182,400 and income before income taxes of
$96,900$405,400 for the three and
ninesix month periods ended MarchDecember 31, 2014.2014, respectively. The improvement is
primarily due to higher sales and margins generated by the Benchtop Laboratory
Equipment Operations which produced income for the segment compared to losses
last year. The results included significantreflect non-cash amounts for depreciation and
amortization expenses, of $107,100$105,600 and 327,200$210,800 for the three and nine
month periodssix months ended
MarchDecember 31, 2015 respectively, compared to $65,500$110,000 and $154,000 for the three and nine month periods ended March 31,
2014, respectively, the majority of which pertained to the Torbal
Division assets.
The income for the current three month period increased compared to
the prior year's loss for the same period due to higher sales of
benchtop laboratory equipment, and the absence of acquisition costs
that were incurred in the same period last year. The loss for the
current nine month period resulted primarily from the significant
depreciation and amortization described above and facility moving
costs, along with increased losses from the Catalyst Research
Instruments Operations due to lower sales, and a higher loss by the
Bioprocessing Systems Operations compared to last year which included
an order for a profitable prototype.$220,100 respectively.
