NEOGEN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Neogen Corporation (“Neogen” or the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (generally accepted accounting principles) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q
and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended February 29, 202028, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2020.2021. For more complete financial information, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2019.2020.
Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. We translate our
non-U.S.
operations’ assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies into U.S. dollars at current rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date and income and expense items at the average exchange rate for the reporting period. Translation adjustments resulting from exchange rate fluctuations are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions are included in other income (expense) on our consolidated statement of income.

Table of Contents
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 of foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the 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. The 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 Equivalentsassumptions.
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. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances and believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk regarding its cash and cash equivalents.
Marketable Securities
The Company has marketable securities held by banks or broker-dealers at February 29, 2020, consisting of short-term domestic certificates of deposit, and commercial paper and U.S. treasuries rated at least
A-1/P-1
(short-term) and A/A2 (long-term) with maturities between 91 days and two years. These securities are classified as available for sale. The primary objective of the Company’s investment activity is to preserve capital for the purpose of funding operations, capital expenditures and business acquisitions; investments are not entered into for trading or speculative purposes. These securities are recorded at fair value based on recent trades or pricing models and therefore meet the Level 2 criteria. Interest income on these investments is recorded within other 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 the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2019.
There were no significant changes to the contractual obligations or contingent liabilities and commitments disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2019.

Table of Contents
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 is established based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, current conditions and other information. Collateral or other security is generally not required for accounts receivable. Once a receivable balance has been determined to be uncollectible, generally after all collection efforts have been exhausted, that amount is charged against the allowance for doubtful 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. We review the carrying amounts of goodwill and other
non-amortizable
non- amortizable intangible assets annually, or when indications of impairment exist, to determine if such assets may be impaired by performing a quantitative assessment.impaired. 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.

Table of Contents
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, restricted stock units (RSUs) 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, an estimate of award forfeitures, 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. For RSUs, we use the intrinsic value method to value the units. To value options,other equity awards, several recognized valuation models exist. Noneexist; none of these models can be singled out as being the best or most correct. The model applied by us can handle most of the specific features included in the options granted, which isare the reason for itstheir use. If a different modelmodels 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 5.8.

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 year.

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. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced losses related to these balances and believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk regarding its cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents were $73,482,000 and $66,269,000 at February 2016,28, 2021 and May 31, 2020, respectively. The carrying value of these assets approximates fair value due to the FASB issued ASU No.short maturity of these instruments and is classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

The Company has marketable securities held by banks or broker-dealers at February 28, 2021. Changes in market value are monitored and recorded on a monthly basis; in the event of a downgrade in credit quality subsequent to increase transparencypurchase, the marketable securities investment is evaluated to determine the appropriate action to take to minimize the overall risk to our marketable securities portfolio. These securities are classified as available for sale. The primary objective of management’s short-term investment activity is to preserve capital for the purpose of funding current operations, capital expenditures and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assetsbusiness acquisitions; short-term investments are not entered into for trading or speculative purposes. These securities are recorded at fair value based on recent trades or pricing models and lease liabilitiestherefore meet the Level 2 criteria.

4. LEASES
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 of 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 ofTopic ASC 842 on June 1, 2019, we recognized all leases with terms greater than 12 monthsrequires the Company to recognize in duration on our consolidated balance sheets asthe statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a

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. Costs associated with operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the term of the lease.
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.leases (i.e. leases with a term of 12 months or less).
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 Recognition5. 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 ourof Neogen’s revenue is generated through contracts with ourits customers. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a product or service to a customer. We generally recognizerecognized revenue at a point in time when all of our performance obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products and services in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expectswe expect 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

Certain agreements with customers include discounts or rebates marketing support, credits or incentives to selected customers, which are accountedon the sale of products and services applied retrospectively, such as volume rebates achieved by purchasing a specified purchase threshold of goods and services. We account for these discounts as variable consideration when estimatingand estimate the amountlikelihood of revenuea customer meeting the threshold in order to recognize ondetermine the transaction price using the most predictive approach. We typically use the most-likely-amount method, for incentives that are offered to individual customers, and the expected-value method, for programs that are offered to a contract.broad group of customers. Variable consideration reduces the amount of revenue that is recognized. These variable considerationRebate obligations related to customer incentive programs are recorded in accrued liabilities; the rebate estimates are updatedadjusted at the end of each reportingapplicable measurement period based on information currently available.
The performance obligations in ourNeogen’s contracts are generally satisfied well within one year of the contract inception. In such cases, we havemanagement has elected the practical expedient to not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component. We haveManagement has 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 accountsWe account for shipping and handling for products as a fulfillment activity when goods are shipped. Shipping and handling costs that are charged to and reimbursed by the customer are recognized as revenues, while the related expenses incurred by Neogen are recorded in sales and marketing expense. Revenue is recognized net of any tax collected from customers; the taxes are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. The Company’sOur 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 deriveThe Company derives revenue from two primary sources - 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, retailers, livestock producers 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 ourNeogen’s 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.

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 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.
Neogen’s operation in Australia originally focused on providing genomics services and sales of animal safety products and reports through the Animal Safety segment. With the acquisition of Cell BioSciences on February 28, 2020, this operation has expanded to offer our complete line of products and services, including those usually associated with the Food Safety segment. These additional products are managed and directed by existing management at Neogen Australasia and report through the Animal Safety segment.
The accounting policies of each of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1.

On December 30, 2020, the Company acquired all of the stock of Megazyme, Ltd, an Ireland-based company, and its wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, Megazyme, Inc. Megazyme is a manufacturer and supplier of diagnostic assay kits and enzymes to measure dietary fiber, complex carbohydrates and enzymes in food and beverages as well as animal feeds. This acquisition will allow Neogen to expand its commercial relationships across food, feed and beverage companies, and provide additional food quality diagnostic products to commercial labs and food science research institutions. Consideration for the purchase was net cash of $39.8 million paid at closing, $8.6 million of cash payable in two installments in two and four years, $4.9 million of stock issued at closing, and up to $2.5 million of contingent consideration, payable in two installments over the next year, based upon an excess net sales formula. The preliminary purchase price allocation, based upon the fair value of these assets and liabilities determined using the income approach, included accounts receivable of $1,339,000, inventory of $5,619,000, net property, plant and equipment of $12,141,000, prepayments of $69,000, accounts payable of $4,000, other current liabilities of $2,405,000, contingent consideration accrual of $2,458,000,
non-current
deferred tax liabilities of $2,389,000, intangible assets of $19,461,000 (with an estimated life of
5-10
years) and the remainder to goodwill
(non-deductible
for tax purposes). These values are Level 3 fair value measurements. In February 2021, the former owner was paid $1,229,000 for the first installment of contingent consideration, based upon the achievement of sales targets. The Irish company continues to operate from its current location in Bray, Ireland, reporting within the Food Safety segment and is managed through Neogen’s Scotland operation. The U.S. company’s business is managed by our Lansing-based Food Safety team.
For each acquisition listed above, the revenues and net income were not considered material and were therefore not disclosed.
10. LONG TERM DEBT
We have a financing agreement with a bank providing for a $15,000,000 unsecured revolving line of credit, which was amended on November 30, 2018in the second quarter to extend the maturity from September 1, 2019expiration to SeptemberNovember 30, 2021.2023. There were 0
advances against the line of credit during fiscal 20192020 and there have been 0nenone thus far in fiscal 2020;2021; there was 0
balance outstanding at February 29, 2020.28, 2021. Interest on any borrowings

8.11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is involved in environmental remediation and monitoring activities at its Randolph, Wisconsin manufacturing facility and accrues for related costs when such costs are determined to be probable and estimable. The Company currently utilizes a pump and treat remediation strategy, which includes semi-annual monitoring and reporting, consulting, and maintenance of monitoring wells. Neogen expenses these annual costs of remediation, which have ranged from $38,000 to $131,000 per year over the past five years. The Company’s estimated liability for these costs was $916,000 at both February 29, 202028, 2021 and May 31, 2019,2020, measured on an undiscounted basis over an estimated period of 15 years; $100,000 of the liability is recorded within current liabilities and the remainder is recorded within other
non-current
liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. In fiscal 2019, the Company performed an updated Corrective Measures Study (CMS) on the site, per a request from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR), and is currently in discussion with the WDNR regarding potential alternative remediation strategies going forward. The Company believes that the current pump and treat strategy is appropriate for the site. At this time, the outcome of the review in terms of approach and future costs is unknown, but a change in the current remediation strategy, depending on the alternative selected, could require an increase in the currently recorded liability, with an offsetting charge to operations in the period recorded.
The Company is subject to certain legal and other proceedings in the normal course of business that, in the opinion of management, should not have a material effect on its future results of operations or financial position.
9. STOCK PURCHASE
In October 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors passed a resolution canceling the Company’s prior stock buyback program, which had been approved in December 2008, and authorized a new program to purchase, subject to market conditions, up to 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In December 2018, the Company purchased 50,000 shares under the program in negotiated and open market transactions for a total price, including commissions, of $3,134,727. Shares acquired under the program have been retired.

PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The information in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains both historical financial information and forward-looking statements. Neogen does not provide forecasts of future financial performance. While management is optimistic about the Company’s long-term prospects, historical financial information may not be indicative of future financial results.
Safe Harbor and Forward-Looking Statements
Forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are made throughout this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q.
For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “seeks,” “estimates,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. There are a number of important factors, including competition, recruitment and dependence on key employees, impact of weather on agriculture and food production, identification and integration of acquisitions, research and development risks, patent and trade secret protection, government regulation, widespread outbreak of an illness, including the
COVID-19
pandemic, and other risks detailed from time to time in the Company’s reports on file at the Securities and Exchange Commission, that could cause Neogen Corporation’s results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements, including those detailed in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
In addition, any forward-looking statements represent management’s views only as of the day this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q
was first filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and should not be relied upon as representing management’s views as of any subsequent date. While management may elect to update forward-looking statements at some point in the future, it specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, even if its views change.
COVID-19
As we closely monitor the
COVID-19
pandemic, our top priority remains protecting the health and safety of our employees. While essential operations continue in our locations around the world, the majority of our
non-manufacturing
employees continue to work remotely and travel remains restricted. Safety guidelines and procedures, including social distancing and enhanced cleaning, have been developed for
on-site
employees and these policies are regularly monitored and updated by our internal Emergency Response Team.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2021, the
COVID-19
pandemic continued to impact our business operations and financial results. There has been a positive impact in sales of our biosecurity product lines, as the pandemic has created increased demand for these products, and sales into companion animal markets have benefitted, as remote work and stay at home orders have driven increased pet ownership. A number of our food safety diagnostic product lines have been negatively impacted due to decreased demand in many of our customers’ businesses, particularly those serving restaurants, bars and other institutional food service markets; supply chain difficulties including vendor disruptions, border closures and shipping issues; and restricted travel, which hinders our ability to connect with customers. During the current fiscal year, we have incurred less expense for travel, meals, trade shows and some other customer-facing marketing activities; higher spend on shipping and personal protective equipment has somewhat offset these savings. We expect the
COVID-19
pandemic will continue to impact our business operations and financial results through
 at least
the end of our current fiscal year.

For the current quarter, strength in genomics services and biosecurity products in China and genomics services in Australia drove the increase, slightly offset by a net negative currency impact of approximately $150,000. The rate of growth in our international revenues in the current fiscal year to date has been adversely impacted by currency devaluations in a number of the countries in which we operate and lower sales of our drug residue test kits by our largest European distributor, and the loss of forensics business in Brazil.distributor.

For the year to date, comparative revenues were $3.4 million lower due to currency translations, due entirely to the devaluation of the Brazilian real and the Mexican peso relative to the U.S. dollar, somewhat offset by the strengthening of the euro and pound, and to a lesser extent, the Chinese yuan and the Australian dollar. Combined revenues at our U.K. operations increased 4% in local currency in the third quarter, as lower economic activity caused by the
COVID-19
pandemic resulted in sluggish sales performance across the organization; after adjusting for the increased strength of the euro and pound, revenues rose 9% in U.S. dollar relative to the British pound, the Brazilian real and the Australian dollar for each period. The Mexican peso and the British pound strengthened relative to the U.S. dollar during the third quarter of 2020.
The 5% increase in third quarter revenues at our Neogen Europe operations included a 24% increase in sales of cleaners, disinfectants and veterinary instruments, offset somewhat by a 9% decline in culture media products, due to orders delayed into the fourth quarter and lower demand; sales of our allergen test kits increased 7%.dollars. For the year to date, period, overall sales increased 3%the 9% revenue increase in local currency was primarily from biosecurity products, the result of a large sale of hand sanitizer to the U.K. government’s health organization in the first quarter of this fiscal year; in U.S. dollars, the increase was 13%.

Neogen China’s revenues approximately doubled for both the three and nine month periods, due to increased demand of biosecurity products and genomics services. The Neogen Australasia location benefited in both the comparative quarter and year to date periods from the February 2020 acquisition of a food safety distributor; the organic revenue increase at this location was 64% in the third quarter and 55% for the year to date period as this operation also recorded strong diagnostics test kit sales were somewhat offset by lower salesgrowth of cleaners and disinfectants.

pandemic and efficiency levels. WeBrexit, however we have now put programs in place to improve our turnover in fiscal 2020; however, during the year we have increasedlower inventory levels, at our European operations to mitigate potential supply chain disruptions from a disorderly Brexit. Also, during the third quarter, in anticipation of possible supply disruptions due to the
COVID-19
pandemic, we reviewed our inventories of key raw materials and adjusted levels upward in some instances to ensure product availability.while not adversely impacting customers.
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 February 29, 2020,28, 2021, 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 that are currently under development or execute our 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 or issue equity securities for all, or a portion, of our future financing needs.
The
COVID-19
pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. An extended period of global supply chain and economic disruption could materially affect our business, results of operations, access to sources of liquidity and financial condition.

Item 3.
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 February 29, 2020) 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, theMexican peso, Brazilian real, the Mexican peso, the Chinese yuan, the Australian dollar, and to a lesser extent, the Indian rupee, the Canadian dollar, the Argentine peso, Uruguayan peso and Chilean peso; there is also exposure to a change in exchange rate between the British pound sterling and the Uruguayan peso.euro. 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 revenuesinvoiced amounts can be positively or negatively affected by changes in exchange rates 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.
