5. EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS
Options are generally granted under the employee and director stock option plan for 5 year periods and become exercisable in equal annual installments during that period. Certain non-qualified options are granted for 10 year periods. A summary of stock option activity during the six months ended November 30, 2012 follows:
Shares | Weighted- Average Exercise Price |
|||||||
Options outstanding at June 1, 2012 |
1,543,000 | $ | 22.34 | |||||
Granted |
306,000 | 43.00 | ||||||
Exercised |

|
|
|||||||
Options outstanding at November 30, 2012 |
1,598,000 | 27.51 |
During the three and six month periods ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded $724,000 and $472,000 and $1,406,000 and $1,072,000 of compensation expense related to its share-based awards.
The weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during FY-13 and FY-12, estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model was $13.81 and $10.42 respectively, per option. The fair value of stock options granted was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions.
FY-13 | FY-12 | |||||||
Risk-free interest rate |
1.2 | % | 1.2 | % | ||||
Expected dividend yield |
0 | % | 0 | % | ||||
Expected stock price volatility |

Expected option life |
4.0 years | 4.0 years |
The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase plan that provides for employee stock purchases at a 5% discount to market price. The discount is expensed as of the date of purchase.
6. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standards update titled Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This update eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. An entity can elect to present items of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate consecutive statements. Each component of net income and each component of other comprehensive income, together with totals for comprehensive income and its two parts, net income and other comprehensive income, must be displayed under either alternative. The Company has complied with the required presentation in this quarterly report; the adoption of the required presentation did not affect the results of the Companys operations, only the presentation of such results.
In September 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standards update titled Intangibles Goodwill and Other: Testing Goodwill for Impairment. This update gives the option of performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount and, in some cases, skip the two-step impairment test. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and early adoption is permitted. The company performs its annual assessment in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year, and at that time will determine which approach to use. It is not expected that the adoption of this update will have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In July 2012, the FASB issued an accounting standard update titled Intangibles Goodwill and Other: Testing Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. This update gives the option of performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the intangible amount is less than its carrying amount and, in some cases, skip the quantitative impairment test. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, and early adoption is permitted. It is not expected that the adoption of this update will have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

7. BUSINESS AND PRODUCT LINE ACQUISITIONS
On April 1, 2010, Neogen Corporation acquired GeneSeek, Inc. of Lincoln, Nebraska, a leading commercial agricultural genetic laboratory. GeneSeeks technology employs high-resolution DNA genotyping for identity and trait analysis in a variety of important animal and agricultural plant species. Consideration for the purchase was $14,050,000 in cash and secondary payment obligations of up to $7,000,000. The allocation of the purchase price included accounts receivable of $1,923,000, inventory of $1,512,000, fixed assets of $847,000, current liabilities of $905,000, deferred tax liabilities of $2,530,000, secondary payment liabilities of $3,583,000, and the remainder to goodwill (not deductible for tax purposes) and other intangible assets (with estimated lives of 5-20 years). The allocation was generally based on the fair value of these assets determined using the income approach. These fair value measurements were based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 fair value measurements. The secondary payment was based upon future operating results of the GeneSeek business through 2013, and payable annually over a three year period, measured at fair value, and is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement. The Company recorded a charge within other income (expense) of approximately $787,000 for the year ended May 31, 2011, representing the increase from its original estimate in fair value of the secondary payment liability. As of May 31, 2011, the balance of the secondary payment liability recorded was approximately $4,370,000. A payment of $1,856,000 was made in June, 2011 to the former owners of Geneseek, comprised of $1,537,000 for the first year contingent payment and an additional $319,000 for inventory purchased post acquisition and settlement of other liabilities. In 2012, the Company reversed $154,000 of the secondary payment liability, based on a lower calculated second year payout than had been estimated at May 31, 2011 due to lower 2012 earnings. In May 2012, the second year payment of $1,263,000 was made to the former owners; the balance of the secondary liability recorded at November 30, 2012 was $1,447,000 for the third and final year of the agreement, expected to be paid in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013. The acquisition has been integrated into the Animal Safety segment.
On June 21, 2011, Neogen Corporation acquired the assets of VeroMara seafood testing laboratory for approximately $813,000 in cash and a potential secondary payment of approximately $200,000 from its parent company, GlycoMar Ltd. Formerly based in Oban, Scotland, VeroMara offers commercial testing for the shellfish and salmon aquaculture industries. VeroMaras offerings include tests for shellfish toxins, general foodborne pathogens, including E. coli noroviruses, and salmon husbandry. VeroMara recorded revenues of approximately $800,000 (U.S.) in its most recently completed fiscal year. The business has been relocated to the Companys location in Ayr, Scotland, which reports within the Food Safety segment.
On May 1, 2012, the Company purchased the assets of the Igenity animal genomics business from Merial Limited. Consideration for the purchase, which was determined through arms length negotiations, was $3,200,000 in cash and $600,000 accrued for secondary consideration. The preliminary purchase price allocation included net current assets of $335,000, fixed assets of $340,000 and intangible assets of $3,125,000. The allocation was generally based on the fair value of these assets determined using the income approach. These fair value measurements were based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 fair value measurements. In the past, GeneSeek conducted the genetic testing of samples for Igenity, and Igenity used the information with its extensive bioinformatics system to identify the animals positive or negative traits. The Igenity business has been moved to GeneSeeks operations in Lincoln, Nebraska, and operates as part of the GeneSeek subsidiary, within the Animal Safety segment.
On October 1, 2012, Neogen Corporation acquired the stock of Macleod Pharmaceuticals, of Fort Collins, Colorado. Macleod is the manufacturer of Uniprim, a leading veterinary antibiotic. The product is widely distributed throughout the U.S., and is also available in Canada through an exclusive distribution agreement. Consideration for the purchase was $9,918,000 in net cash and $100,000 accrued for secondary consideration. The preliminary purchase price allocation, based upon the fair value of these assets determined using the income approach, included accounts receivable of $353,000, inventory of $1,238,000, fixed assets of $300,000, current liabilities of $82,000, deferred tax liabilities of $748,000, secondary payment liabilities of $100,000, and goodwill and intangible assets of $8,957,000. These values are Level 3 fair value measurements. Macleod will operate as a subsidiary of Neogen Corporation, reporting within the Animal Safety segment.
8. LONG TERM DEBT
The Company has a financing agreement with a bank providing for an unsecured revolving line of credit of $12,000,000, which maturity was extended to September 1, 2014 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. There were no advances against this line of credit during FY-2013 and FY-2012 and no balance outstanding at November 30, 2012. Interest is at LIBOR plus 100 basis points (rate under the terms of the agreement was 1.21% at November 30, 2012). Financial covenants include maintaining specified levels of tangible net worth, debt service coverage, and funded debt to EBITDA, each of which the Company was in compliance with at November 30, 2012.

9. 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 is currently expensing annual costs of remediation, which have ranged from $50,000 to $105,000 per year over the past five years. The Companys estimated liability for these costs of $916,000 at November 30, 2012 and May 31, 2012, measured on an undiscounted basis over an estimated period of 15 years, is recorded within other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.
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.
10. STOCK PURCHASE
In December 2008, the Companys Board of Directors authorized a program to purchase, subject to market conditions, up to 750,000 shares of the Companys common stock. As of November 30, 2012, 74,684 cumulative shares had been purchased in negotiated and open market transactions for a total price, including commissions, of approximately $923,000. Shares purchased under the program were retired. There have been no purchases in FY-13 and there were none in FY-12.

Executive Overview
Neogen Corporation revenues for the second quarter ended November 30, 2012 were $50.7 million, an increase of $5.8 million, or 13.0%, compared to the same period in the prior year. For the year to date ended November 30, 2012 revenues were $100.5 million, an increase of $9.9 million, or 10.9%, compared to the prior year. Food Safety revenues increased by 18.1% and 15.2% for the comparative quarter and six-month period ended November 30, 2012, respectively. Animal Safety revenues increased by 8.1% and 6.6%, respectively, for the same comparative periods. Overall organic sales growth was 9.4% and 8.8% for the second quarter and six-month period ended November 30, 2012, respectively. The remainder of growth consisted of revenues from the Igenity acquisition, completed in May 2012, and the Macleod Pharmaceuticals acquisition, completed in October 2012.
Neogen Europe sales increased by 31.1% for the second quarter and 24.7% on a year-to-date basis. The revenue increase was primarily due to a DON outbreak in Europe in the current fiscal year, a recovery in sales to EU distributors, and certain genomics revenues from a number of European customers. Neogen do Brasil continued to penetrate the Brazilian food safety market and had growth of 51.4% and 52.5%, for the quarter and year respectively, albeit on a small base. Their increases primarily came from sales of natural toxins and dairy antibiotics test kits. Neogen Latinoamerica sales decreased by 5.7% for the quarter and 16.9% for the year, primarily due to some one-time sales in the prior year not repeated in the current year.
Gross margins increased from 50.5% for the November 2011 quarter to 53.8% for the November 2012 quarter and increased from 50.4% to 53.6% on a year-to-date basis. The increase in margin percentage for each comparative period was largely the result of a shift in product mix toward diagnostic products in the Food Safety segment, which have higher margins. Additionally, margins improved within the Animal Safety segment due to increased sales of rodenticides, small animal supplements, and the products acquired in the Macleod acquisition, which are higher margin products within that segment. To a lesser extent, gross margins improved for each comparative period due to manufacturing efficiencies. Operating margins increased for the comparative quarter and six-month periods from 18.1% to 20.7% and from 19.3% to 20.7%, respectively. The increases were due to the improved gross margins in both the quarter and year-to-date, offset slightly by increased operating expenses.

Food Safety revenues increased 18.1% in the second quarter and 15.2% in the first six months of FY-13, compared to the prior year periods. Sales of Natural Toxins, Allergens and Drug Residue products increased by 21.5% in the quarter and 18.1% for the year-to-date, each compared with FY-12. The increase was led by sales of aflatoxin test kits, readers, and accessories, due to an aflatoxin outbreak in the United States. Sales of DON tests were also up significantly, due primarily to an outbreak in the European wheat crop. Combined, these products were up 76.4% in the second quarter, with the majority of the crops harvested for the year. These increases were partially offset by an 18.5% decrease in Drug Residue sales in the quarter, mainly the result of lower sales of tests used to detect the presence of antibiotics in dairy animals caused by timing of orders from a large international distributor. For the six months, aflatoxin, DON and related equipment and accessories sales were up 49.9% over the prior year. Sales of Drug Residue products were down 4.8% for the year-to-date. The Allergens product line continued its consistent growth with sales up 16.1% and 16.8% for the quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively. This product line has grown as the customer base has become more aware of the dangers of inadvertent allergen contamination in finished food product.

Table of Contents
Dehydrated Culture Media and Other sales were up 31.1% in the second quarter and 25.7% in the first six months of FY-13, compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to the contributions from certain genomics revenues to a number of European customers. Also within this category, tests for histamine contamination in harvested fish were up 29.0% for the second quarter, due to increased testing; additionally, customers affected by the aflatoxin outbreak significantly increased purchases of miscellaneous lab supplies necessary for processing samples. Bacteria and General Sanitation had increases of 0.9% and 1.5% for the quarter and year-to-date respectively. Soleris sales were down 5.9% for the quarter and 9.8% for the year. Soleris consumables products were up 3.8% in the second quarter and 9.5% on a year-to-date basis; however, the related equipment sales declined compared to the prior year, primarily due to sales in China a year ago which were not repeated this year. The Companys new ANSR pathogen detection system is being evaluated by a number of potential customers and is expected to positively impact revenues in this product line in the second half of the year.
Animal Safety revenues increased by 8.1% in the second quarter and 6.6% for the year-to-date period ended November 30, 2012 in comparison with the prior year periods. Organic revenue growth was 1.6% for the quarter and 2.7% for the year. The remainder of the growth is from contributions of Igenity, acquired in May 2012, and Macleod Pharmaceuticals, acquired in October 2012. Life Science and Other sales were down 7.8% for the quarter, due primarily to lower sales of ractopomine detection kits for the China market. On a year-to-date basis, Life Science and Other sales were down 9.2%. Within this category, sales to the racing market are down 24.9%, due to state lab closures and consolidations and reduced testing, while sales to the forensics market were up 4.4%. Vaccines are down 23.1% for the quarter and 12.8% for the year, mainly due to order timing from an international distributor. The sales in this category represent a very small amount of the Animal Safety segment sales.
Rodenticide and Disinfectant revenues increased by 13.3% in the second quarter and 11.9% on a year-to-date basis, each compared to the prior year. Rodenticide sales are up 23.0% for the quarter and 25.5% for the year-to-date, indicative of a recovery in this line, which lagged in the prior year due to an inventory stocking by customers in late FY-11 ahead of a packaging law change. Veterinary Instruments and Other sales had an increase of 18.2% in the second quarter of FY-13 compared to FY-12. Within this category, the Company benefitted from sales of newly-acquired Uniprim and a 140.6% increase in the small animal supplements line due to a supply disruption caused by a competitors shutdown. While Neogen successfully converted some customers to our comparable product in the first half of the year, the competitor has resumed operations and it is not yet known how much business will be retained. Offsetting the gains in this category was a 54.2% decrease in vitamin injectables, due to product coming off a lengthy backorder from FY-11, which caused sales spikes in the first half of FY-12. Sales for the first half of FY-13 more accurately reflect ongoing demand. On a year-to-date basis, Veterinary Instruments and Other revenues are up 8.3%. The year-to-date increase was led by the small animal supplements line, but was offset by decreases in vitamin injectables and the loss of the needle and syringe business of a large customer in the second quarter of FY-12, which negatively affected the prior year comparison.
Revenues decreased at Geneseek by 9.5% in FY-13 compared to the second quarter of FY-12. Sample unit volume is up by approximately 20% at Geneseek; however, average selling price has declined, as customers switch to products with lower genomic content. Geneseeks contract business is not necessarily consistent or predictable from period-to-period as to its timing or amount.
Gross margins increased from 50.5% in the second quarter of FY-12 to 53.8% in the second quarter of FY-13, and for the year-to-date, from 50.4% in FY-12 to 53.6% in FY-13. The increases in each period were due primarily to the growth in revenue of diagnostic products, led by the increase in aflatoxin test kits, which resulted in a greater proportion of Food Safety revenues to overall sales. Additionally, gross margins increased within the Animal Safety segment due to a shift in product mix resulting from higher sales of small animal supplements, rodenticides, and the new Uniprim product line acquired from Macleod. Due to the nature of the business, gross margins can vary on a quarterly basis, based on changes in product mix.
Operating margins increased to 20.6% for the second quarter compared to 18.1% for the same period in the prior year, primarily the result of the improved gross margins and partially offset by higher operating expenses. Operating expenses increased 16.0% for the quarter, reflecting investments made in sales and marketing personnel during the last half of FY-12. The company also incurred increases in legal fees, stock option expense, and project costs within research and development as a result of recent and upcoming product launches. For the year-to-date, operating margins increased to 20.7% from 19.3%, the result of improved gross margins, partially offset by increased operating expenses, which were up 17.3%.

Financial Condition and Liquidity
The overall cash and marketable securities position of the Company was $70,838,000 at November 30, 2012, compared to $68,645,000 at May 31, 2012. Approximately $11,334,000 in cash was generated from operations during the first six months of 2013. Net cash proceeds of $2,586,000 were realized with the exercise of stock options and issuance of shares under the Companys Employee Stock Purchase Plan during the first six months of FY-13. In October 2012, the Company purchased the stock of MacLeod Pharmaceuticals for $9,918,000 net cash (see Note 7). The Company spent $3,370,000 for equipment and other non-current assets in the first six months of 2012. Accounts receivable increased by $1,297,000 due to the increase in revenues; inventory levels increased by $2,076,000 compared to May 31, 2012. Each of these items increased, on a percentage basis, by less than the percentage increase in sales.
Inflation and changing prices are not expected to have a material effect on operations, as management believes it has and will be successful in offsetting increased input costs with price increases.
Management believes that the Companys existing cash and marketable securities balances at November 30, 2012, along with available borrowings under its 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 the Companys cash requirements to commercialize products currently under development or its plans to acquire other organizations, technologies or products that fit within the Companys mission statement. Accordingly, the Company may choose to issue equity securities or enter into other financing arrangements for a portion of its future financing needs.

PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company has interest rate and foreign exchange rate risk exposure and no long-term fixed rate investments or borrowings. Primary interest rate risk is due to potential fluctuations of exposure to interest rates for variable rate borrowings.
Foreign exchange risk exposure arises because the Company markets and sells its products throughout the world. The Company also could be affected by weak economic conditions in foreign markets that could reduce demand for its products. Additionally, revenues in certain foreign countries as well as certain expenses related to those revenues are transacted in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. The Companys operating results are primarily exposed to changes in exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar, the British Pound Sterling and the 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 revenues in the course of collection can be affected positively or negatively by changes in exchange rates. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to help manage 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, which are located in Scotland, Brazil and Mexico where the functional currency is the British Pound Sterling, Brazilian Real and Mexican Peso, respectively. The Companys investments in foreign subsidiaries are considered to be long-term.
