Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Revenue Recognition

Leases
On June 1, 2018, we2019, the Company adopted ASU No.2014-09—Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).
 2016-02—
Leases. Refer to the Revenue RecognitionLeases section of Note 1 for further information.

Classification of Cash Receipts and Payments

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.2016-15—Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments in ASU2016-15 address eight specific cash flow issues and apply to all entities that are required to present a statement of cash flows under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC) 230, Statement of Cash Flows. The amendments in ASU2016-15 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this ASU on June 1, 2018; the impact on our consolidated financial statements was immaterial.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.2016-02—Leases to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and aright-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessor have not significantly changed from previous U.S. GAAP. This ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. Modified retrospective application is required with certain practical expedients. We will adopt this ASU on June 1, 2019 and are currently in the process of evaluating our lessee and lessor arrangements to determine the impact of this pronouncement on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. This evaluation includes a review of revenue through leasing arrangements as well as lease expenses, which are primarily through operating lease arrangements at most of our facilities.

Financial Instruments-Instruments - Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.
2016-13—Measurement
of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes how companies measure credit losses on most financial instruments measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, such as loans, receivables and
held-to-maturity
debt securities. Rather than generally recognizing credit losses when it is probable that the loss has been incurred, the revised guidance requires companies to recognize an allowance for credit losses for the difference between the amortized cost basis of a financial instrument and the amount of

amortized cost that the company expects to collect over the instrument’s contractual life. ASU

2016-13
is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and must be adopted as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. Earlyearnings; early adoption is permitted. We doThe Company does not believe adoption of this guidance will have an impact on ourits consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13—Fair Value
Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which modifies the disclosure requirements of fair value measurements. ASU
2018-13
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe adoption of this guidance will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income represents net income and any revenues, expenses, gains and losses that, under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are excluded from net income and recognized directly as a component of equity. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists solely of foreign currency translation adjustments.

adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of ourthe Company’s financial instruments other than cash equivalents and marketable securities, which include accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate fair value based on either their short maturity or current terms for similar instruments.
Fair value measurements are determined based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants exclusive of any transaction costs. We utilizeThe Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank demand accounts, savings deposits, certificates of deposit and commercial paper with original maturities of 90 days or less. The carrying value of these assets approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments and meets the Level 1 criteria.

Marketable Securities

The Company has marketable securities held by banks or broker-dealers at November 30, 2018,2019, consisting of short-term domestic certificates of deposit, and commercial paper and U.S. treasuries rated at leastA-2/P-2
A-1/P-1
(short-term) and A/A2 (long-term) with maturities between 91 days and one year.
two years
. These securities are classified as available for sale. The primary objective of our short-termthe Company’s investment activity is to preserve capital for the purpose of funding operations, capital expenditures and business acquisitions; short-term investments are not entered into for trading or speculative purposes. These securities are recorded at fair value (that approximates cost) based on recent trades of similar securities or pricing models and therefore meet the Level 2 criteria. Interest income on these investments is recorded within Other Incomeother income on the consolidated statements of income.

ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of these financial statements requires that management make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates the estimates, including, but not limited to, variable consideration related to revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, the market value of, and demand for, inventories, stock-based compensation, provision for income taxes and related balance sheet accounts, accruals, goodwill and other intangible assets. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

There have been no significant changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in ourthe Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2018, except for the new revenue recognition standard the Company adopted effective June 1, 2018. See below sections Revenue Recognition and Recently Adopted Accounting Standards for further information on revenue recognition.

Accounts Receivable Allowance

Management attempts to minimize credit risk by reviewing customers’ credit history before extending credit and by monitoring credit exposure on a regular basis. An allowance for doubtful accounts receivable is established based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. Collateral or other security is generally not required for accounts receivable. Once a receivable balance has been determined to be uncollectible, that amount is charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts.

accounts

.
Inventory

The reserve for obsolete and slow-moving inventory is reviewed at least quarterly based on an analysis of the inventory, considering the current condition of the asset as well as other known facts and future plans. The reserve required to record inventory at lower of cost or net realizable value is adjusted as conditions change. Product obsolescence may be caused by shelf-life expiration, discontinuance of a product line, replacement products in the marketplace or other competitive situations.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of tangible net assets of acquired businesses after amounts are allocated to other identifiable intangible assets. Other intangible assets include customer relationships, trademarks, licenses, trade names, covenants
not-to-compete
and patents. Customer-based intangibles are amortized on either an accelerated or straight-line basis, reflecting the pattern in which the economic benefits are consumed, while all other amortizable intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis; intangibles are generally amortized over
5
to
25 years.
years
. We review the carrying amounts of goodwill and other
non-amortizable
intangible assets annually, or when indications of impairment exist, to determine if such assets may be impaired by performing a quantitative assessment. If the carrying amounts of these assets are deemed to be less than fair value based upon a discounted cash flow analysis and comparison to comparable EBITDA multiples of peer companies, such assets are reduced to their estimated fair value and a charge is recorded to operations.

Long Lived

Long-Lived Assets

Management reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets to be held and used, including definite-lived intangible assets, for
possible impairment whenever events or changes in business conditions warrant such a review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated separately identifiable undiscounted cash flows over the remaining useful life of the asset indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. In such an event, fair value is determined using discounted cash flows and, if lower than the carrying value, impairment is recognized through a charge to operations.

Equity Compensation Plans

Share options awarded to employees and shares of stock awarded to employees under certain stock purchase plans are recognized as compensation expense based on their fair value at grant date. The fair market value of options granted under the Company stock option plans was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with assumptions for inputs such as interest rates, expected dividends, volatility measures and specific employee exercise behavior patterns based on statistical data. Some of the inputs used are not market-observable and have to be estimated or derived from available data. Use of different estimates would produce different option values, which in turn would result in higher or lower compensation expense recognized. To value options, several recognized valuation models exist. None of these models can be singled out as being the best or most correct one.correct. The model applied by us can handle most of the specific features included in the options granted, which is the reason for its use. If a different model were used, the option values could differ despite using the same inputs. Accordingly, using different assumptions coupled with using a different valuation model could have a significant impact on the fair value of employee stock options. Fair value could be either higher or lower than the number provided by the model applied and the inputs used. Further information on our equity compensation plans, including inputs used to determine the fair value of options, is disclosed in Note 5 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are
determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for tax credit carryforwards and are measured using the enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax expense represents the change in net deferred income tax assets and liabilities during the period.

year.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the Tax Act) was signed into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. Changes include a federal corporate tax rate reduction from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the transition of U.S. international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial system, and aone-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings. The Tax Act also includes a provision to tax global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”) of foreign subsidiaries, which became effective for us beginning June 1, 2018.

Leases
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, we recorded an estimated net charge of $4.8 million related to the Tax Act, due to the impact of the reduction in the tax rate on deferred tax assets and liabilities of $6.0 million, partially offset by $1.2 million ofone-time transition tax on the deemed repatriation of foreign earnings. Due to the timing of the enactment and the complexity in applying the provisions of the Tax Act, these charges and benefits were recorded based on reasonable estimates and are subject to revisions as we complete our analysis of the Tax Act, collect and prepare necessary data, and interpret any additional guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service. During the month of December 2018, immaterial adjustments to these provisions were recorded to tax expense, within the measurement period under SAB 118.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014,February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.2014-09—Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The new standard outlines 2016-02—Leases, to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a single comprehensive model for entitiesliability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use in accountingthe underlying asset for revenuethe lease term. The recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity should recognize revenue 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 those goods or services. The standard is designed to create greater comparability for financial statement users across industries and jurisdictions and also requires enhanced disclosures. In April 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards UpdateNo. 2016-10— Revenuea lease by a lessor have not significantly changed from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which amends and adds clarity to certain aspects of the guidance set forth inprevious U.S. GAAP. This ASU2014-09 related to identifying performance obligations and licensing. The guidance became was effective for the Companyannualperiods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. We adopted this ASU on June 1, 2018. The guidance permits two methods of adoption: a full retrospective method to each prior reporting period presented or a modified retrospective approach with2019; the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application. We adopted this standard using the full retrospective approach. This approach was chosen to provide appropriate comparisons against our prior year financial statements; accordingly, historical information for the year ended May 31, 2018, including interim periods therein, has been adjusted to conform to the new standard.

Prior to the adoption, we identified all revenue streams at each significant subsidiary and reviewed contracts to evaluate the impact of adopting the new standard on our revenue recognition policies, procedures and control framework and ultimately on our consolidated financial statements was immaterial.

We lease various manufacturing, laboratory, warehousing and distribution facilities, administrative and sales offices, equipment and vehicles under operating leases. We evaluate our contracts to determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception and classify it as a finance or operating lease. Currently, all our leases are classified as operating leases. Leased assets and corresponding liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. Our lease terms may include options to extend when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.
Costs associated with operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the term of the lease. With the adoption of ASC 842 on June 1, 2019
,
we recognized all leases with terms greater than 12 months in duration on our consolidated balance sheets as
right-of-use
assets and lease liabilities of approximately $2.0 million
each
as of June 1, 2019. We adopted the standard using the prospective approach and did not retrospectively apply to prior periods.
Right-of-use
assets are recorded in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. Current and
non-current
lease liabilities are recorded in other accruals within current liabilities and other
non-current
liabilities, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets.
We have made certain assumptions and judgments when applying ASC 842, the most significant of which are:
We elected the package of practical expedients available for transition that allow us to not reassess whether expired or existing contracts contain leases under the new definition of a lease, lease classification for expired or existing leases and whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would qualify for capitalization under ASC 842.
We did not elect to use hindsight when considering judgments and estimates such as assessments of lessee options to extend or terminate a lease or purchase the underlying asset.
For all asset classes, we elected to not recognize a
right-of-use
asset and lease liability for short-term leases.
For all asset classes, we elected to not separate
non-lease
components from lease components to which they relate and have accounted for the combined lease and
non-lease
components as a single lease component.
The determination of the discount rate used in a lease is our incremental borrowing rate that is based on what we would normally pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments.

Revenue Recognition
The Company determines the amount of revenue to be recognized through application of the following steps:

Identification of the contract with a customer;

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

Determination of the transaction price;

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies the performance obligations.

Essentially all our revenue is generated through contracts with our customers. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a product or service to a customer. We generally recognize revenue at a point in time when all our performance obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied. With the adoption of Topic 606, revenueRevenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products and services in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. The collectability of consideration on the contract is reasonably assured before revenue is recognized. To the extent that customer payment has been received before all recognition criteria are met, these revenues are initially deferred in other accruals on the balance sheet and the revenue is recognized in the period that all recognition criteria have been met. In certain situations, we provide rebates, marketing support, credits or incentives to selected customers, which are accounted for as variable consideration when estimating the amount of revenue to recognize on a contract. Variable consideration reduces the amount of revenue that is recognized. These variable consideration estimates are updated at the end of each reporting period based on information currently available.

The performance obligations in our contracts are generally satisfied well within one year of the contract inception. In such cases, we have elected the practical expedient to not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component. We have elected to utilize the practical expedient to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred because the amortization period for the prepaid costs that would otherwise have been deferred and amortized is one year or less. The Company accounts for shipping and handling for products as a fulfillment activity when goods are shipped. Revenue is recognized net of any tax collected from customers; the taxes are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. The Company’s terms and conditions of sale generally do not provide for returns of product or reperformance of service except in the case of quality or warranty issues. These situations are infrequent; due to immateriality of the amount, warranty claims are recorded in the period incurred.

We derive revenue from two primary sources - product revenue and service revenue.
Product revenue consists of shipments of:
Diagnostic test kits, dehydrated culture media and related products used by food producers and processors to detect harmful natural toxins, foodborne bacteria, allergens and levels of general sanitation;
Consumable products marketed to veterinarians and animal health product distributors; and
Rodenticides, disinfectants and insecticides to assist in the control of rodents, insects and disease in and around agricultural, food production and other facilities.
Revenues for our products are recognized and invoiced when the product is shipped to the customer.
Service revenue consists primarily of:
Genomic identification and related interpretive bioinformatic services; and
Other commercial laboratory services.
Revenues for our genomics and commercial laboratory services are recognized and invoiced when the applicable laboratory service is performed and the results are conveyed to the customer.
Payment terms for products and services are generally 30 to 60 days; international terms may be longer.

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

The Company has historically classified certain variable consideration components resulting from volume rebates, distributor support, and other marketing discounts as cost of product revenues or sales and marketing expense in our consolidated financial statements of income. These amounts should have been classified as contra revenue in product or service revenues. The Company had determined in prior periods that the misstatements were clearly immaterial, individually and in the aggregate, to each of the reporting periods affected. The Company began properly classifying these items as contra revenues beginning in the three-month period ended August 31, 2018, the first quarter of the Company’s current fiscal year, and has revised the prior year’s quarter andyear-to-date periods to conform to the current period presentation. These immaterial adjustments had no impact on our operating income, income before taxes, net income or reported earnings per share, and no change to stockholders’ equity.

2018:

The effects of the revisions on the line items within our unaudited consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended November 30, 2017 are as follows:

4. SEGMENT INFORMATION AND GEOGRAPHIC DATA

We have two
2
reportable segments: Food Safety and Animal Safety. The Food Safety segment is primarily engaged in the development, production and marketing of diagnostic test kits, dehydrated culture media and related products used by food producers and processors to detect harmful natural toxins, foodborne bacteria, allergens and levels of general sanitation. The Animal Safety segment is primarily engaged in the development, production and marketing of products dedicated to animal safety, including a complete line of consumable products marketed to veterinarians and animal health product distributors; this segment also provides genomic identification and related interpretive bioinformatic services. Additionally, the Animal Safety segment produces and markets rodenticides, disinfectants and insecticides to assist in the control of rodents, insects and disease in and around agricultural, food production and other facilities.

Our international operations in the United Kingdom, Mexico, Brazil, China and India originally focused on the Company’s Food Safetyfood safety products, and each of these units reports through the Food Safety segment. In recent years, these operations have expanded to offer our complete line of products and services, including those usually associated with the Animal Safety segment such as cleaners, disinfectants, rodenticides, insecticides, veterinary instruments and genomics services. These additional products and services are managed and directed by existing management and are reported through the Food Safety segment.

The accounting policies of each of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1.

At Neogen do Brasil, sales of natural toxins test kits increased 62% and 73% forboth the three and six months,month periods, respectively, bothas compared to the same periods a year ago, as we continued to gain significant new business testing for the presence of aflatoxin in corn. Sales of forensic test kits increased 166% in the second quarter and year to date sales more than tripled over the prior year, due to increased demand from commercial laboratories located in Brazilwith broad based strength across the diagnostics business somewhat offset by lower sales of cleaners and business that shifted from U.S. labs to labs in Brazil.

Service revenue was $17.5$20.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2019,2020, an increase of 8%16% over prior year second quarter revenues of $16.2$17.5 million, including a minor contribution from the September 2018January 1, 2019 acquisition of Livestock Genetics Services.Delta Genomics. For the six month period, service revenue was $34.2$39.9 million, an increase of 11%17% over prior year revenues of $30.9$34.2 million. Year to date revenues were aided by the Livestock Genetics ServicesDelta Genomics acquisition and the September 20172018 acquisition of Neogen Australasia.Livestock Genetic Services. The growth in both the quarter and year to date periods was led by strong increases of genomic testing revenues to the companion animal market, and to a lesser extent, increases in sales of genomic services to theour global beef markets, and porcine markets in Europe.

The increase in interest income in both the three and six month periods of fiscal 20192020 compared to the same periods a year ago was the result of higher cash and marketable securities balances and rising interest rates on those balances. Other incomeexpense resulting from foreign currency transactions was primarily the result of changes in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar in countries in which we operate.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense in the second quarter of fiscal 20192020 was $3.0 million, an effective tax rate of 15.3%, compared to $3.7 million, an effective tax rate of 18.5% compared to $1.9 million, an effective tax rate of 10.0%, in the same period of the prior year. Corporate tax reform enacted in December 2017 reduced the U.S. statutory income tax rate from 35% to 21%. The second quarter of the prior year included a credit of $3.8 million to federal income tax expense for tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options; this credit was $484,000 in the current year second quarter. The timing of stock option exercises by quarter is due to a tranche of options that expired in the first quarter of fiscal 2019; a different tranche expired in the second quarter in fiscal 2018. For the first six months of fiscal 2019, income tax expense was $5.6 million compared to $7.2 million in the prior year; the year to date effective tax rate was 15.1%, compared to an effective tax rate of 19.8% in the prior fiscal year. For the year to date, period, the Company recorded a total credit of $2.8 million to federal income tax expense for tax benefits resulting fromwas $6.0 million, an effective rate of 16.1%, in fiscal 2020 and $5.6 million, an effective rate of 15.1%, in fiscal 2019. For each period, the exerciseprimary difference between the statutory rate of stock options, compared to $4.2 million in21% and the prior year.

Net Income

Net income was $16.1 million ineffective rates recorded is the second quarter of fiscal 2019, compared to $17.1 million in the same period in the prior year. Earnings in the prior year quarter included $4.2 million in tax benefitsbenefit resulting from the exercise of stock options; this benefit was $1,204,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to $484,000 in the currentsecond quarter of the prior year. For the year quarter.to date, the benefit was $1,973,000 in fiscal 2020 compared to $2,774,000 in fiscal 2019; the prior year first quarter had significant stock option exercise due to a higher stock price and the timing of the expiration of the 2013 grant in August 2018.

Net Income
Net income was $16.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to $16.1 million in the same period in the prior year. The improvement in earnings for this year’s second quarter was the result of the decrease in the effective tax rate, which was caused by increased tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options, due to higher option activity in the second quarter of this fiscal year compared to the same period a year ago. For the year to date, net income increased 8%decreased 1% from $29.0$31.3 million to $31.3$30.9 million; six month net income in fiscal 2020 was favorablynegatively impacted by corporatea higher effective tax reform, partially offset by lower overall benefit from the exercise of stock options.

2020.

Inflation and changing prices are not expected to have a material effect on operations, as management believes it will continue to be successful in offsetting increased input costs with price increases and/or cost efficiencies.

Management believes that our existing cash and marketable securities balances at November 30, 2018,2019, along with available borrowings under our credit facility and cash expected to be generated from future operations, will be sufficient to fund activities for the foreseeable future. However, existing cash and borrowing capacity may not be sufficient to meet our cash requirements to commercialize products currently under development or its plans to acquire other organizations, technologies or products that fit within our mission statement. Accordingly, we may choose to issue equity securities or enter into other financing arrangements for a portion of our future financing needs.



PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have interest rate and foreign exchange rate risk exposure but no long-term fixed rate investments or borrowings. Our primary interest rate risk is due to potential fluctuations of interest rates for variable rate borrowings (no long-term borrowings at November 30, 2018)2019) and short-term investments.

Foreign exchange risk exposure arises because we market and sell our products throughout the world. Revenues in certain foreign countries as well as certain expenses related to those revenues are transacted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Our operating results are exposed to changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the British pound sterling, the euro, the Brazilian real, the Mexican peso, the Chinese yuan, the Australian dollar, and to a lesser extent, the Indian rupee and the Canadian dollar. When the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the dollar value of revenues denominated in foreign currencies increases. When the U.S. dollar strengthens, the opposite situation occurs. Additionally, previously recognized revenues in the course of collection can be affected positively or negatively by changes in exchange rates. The Company enters into forward contracts to help mitigate the economic impact of fluctuations in certain currency exchange rates. These contracts are adjusted to fair value through earnings.

Neogen has assets, liabilities and operations outside of the United States, located in Scotland, England, Brazil, Mexico, China, India, Canada, and Australia where the functional currency is the British pound sterling, Brazilian real, Mexican peso, Chinese yuan, Indian rupee, Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar respectively, and transacts business throughout Europe in the euro. The Company’s investments in foreign subsidiaries are considered to be long-term.
