SCIENTIFIC
INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
General:
|
The
accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements are prepared pursuant to the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s rules and regulations for reporting on Form
10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for
complete financial statements are not included herein. The Company
believes all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of these
interim statements have been included and that they are of a normal
and recurring nature. These interim statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes
thereto, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2019. The results for the three months ended
September 30, 2019, are not necessarily an indication of the
results for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2020.
|
1. Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of Scientific Industries, Inc., Altamira Instruments, Inc.
(“Altamira”), a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned
subsidiary, and Scientific Bioprocessing, Inc. (“SBI”),
a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary, and Scientific
Packaging Industries, Inc., an inactive wholly-owned subsidiary
(all collectively referred to as the “Company”). All
material intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated.
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No.
2016-02, Leases,
which replaces previous lease guidance in its entirety with ASC 842
and requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease
liabilities for those arrangements classified as operating leases
under previous guidance, with the exception of leases with a term
of twelve months or less. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 on
July 1, 2019 using the additional transition method, which allows
prior periods to be presented under previous lease accounting
guidance. Refer to Note 8, "Leases", for related
disclosures.
R
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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 is part
of the FASB disclosure framework project to improve the
effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to the financial
statements. The amendments in the new guidance remove, modify, and
add certain disclosure requirements related to fair value
measurements covered in Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurement". The
new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for either the entire
standard or only the requirements that modify or eliminate the
disclosure requirements, with certain requirements applied
prospectively, and all other requirements applied retrospectively
to all periods presented. We are currently evaluating the impact of
adopting this guidance.
2. Revenue
The
Company records revenues in accordance with Accounting Standards
Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 “Revenue from
Contracts with Customers, as amended” (“ASC Topic
606”). In accordance with Topic 606, the Company accounts for
a customer contract when both parties have approved the contract
and are committed to perform their respective obligations, each
party’s rights can be identified, payment terms can be
identified, the contract has commercial substance, and it is
probable that the Company will collect substantially all of the
consideration to which it is entitled. Revenue is recognized when,
or as, performance obligations are satisfied by transferring
control of a promised product or service to a
customer.
Nature of Products and Services
We
generate revenues from the following sources: (1) Benchtop
Laboratory Equipment, (2) Catalyst Research Instruments, and (3)
Royalties.
The
following table summarizes the Company’s disaggregation of
revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and
2018.

Benchtop
Laboratory Equipment sales are comprised primarily of standard
benchtop laboratory equipment from its stock to laboratory
equipment distributors, or to end users primarily via e-commerce.
The sales cycle from time of receipt of order to shipment is very
short varying from a day to a few weeks. Customers either pay by
credit card (online sales) or net 30-90, depending on the customer.
Once the item is shipped under the FOB terms specified in the
order, which is primarily “FOB Factory”, other than a
standard warranty, there are no other obligations to the customer.
The standard warranty is typically comprised of one to two years of
parts and labor and is deemed immaterial.
Catalyst
Research Instrument sales are comprised primarily of large
instruments which begin with a standard model and then are
customized to a customer’s specifications. The sales cycle
can be quite long, typically ranging from one to three months, from
the time an order is received to the time the instrument is shipped
to the customer. Payment terms vary from customer to customer and
can include advance payments which are recorded as contract
liabilities. Some contracts call for training and installation,
which is considered ancillary and not a material part of the
contract. Due to the size and nature of the instruments, the
Company subjects the instruments to an extensive factory acceptance
testing process prior to shipment to ensure that they are fully
operational once they reach the customer’s site. Normally,
the Company warrantees its instruments for a period of twelve
months for parts and labor which normally consists of replacement
of small components or software support. Catalyst research
instruments are never returned for repairs.
Royalty
revenues pertain to royalties earned by the Company, which are paid
on a calendar year basis, under a licensing agreement from a single
licensee and its sublicenses. The Company is then obligated to pay
50% of all royalties received to the entity that licenses the
intellectual property to the Company. During the year, the
Company’s management uses its best judgement to estimate the
royalty revenues earned during the period.
The
Company determines revenue recognition through the following
steps:
|
●
|
Identification
of the contract, or contracts, 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
|
|
●
|
Recognition
of revenue when, or as, a performance obligation is
satisfied
|
The
Company has made the following accounting policy elections and
elected to use certain practical expedients, as permitted by the
FASB, in applying ASC Topic 606: 1) all revenues are recorded net
of returns, allowances, customer discounts, and incentives; 2)
although sales and other taxes are immaterial, the Company accounts
for amounts collected from customers for sales and other taxes, if
any, net of related amounts remitted to tax authorities; 3) the
Company expenses costs to obtain a contract as they are incurred if
the expected period of benefit, and therefore the amortization
period, is one year or less; 4) the Company accounts for shipping
and handling activities that occur after control transfers to the
customer as a fulfillment cost rather than an additional promised
service and these fulfillment costs fall within selling expenses;
5) the Company is always considered the principal and never an
agent, because it has full control and responsibility until title
is transferred to the customer; 6) the Company does not assess
whether promised goods or services are performance obligations if
they are immaterial in the context of the contract with the
customer such as is the case with catalyst
instruments.
3.
Segment Information and

Approximately
36% and 49% of net sales of Benchtop Laboratory Equipment for the
three month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018,
respectively, were derived from the Company’s main product,
the Vortex-Genie 2 mixer, excluding accessories.
Approximately 33%
and 25% of total Benchtop Laboratory Equipment sales were derived
from the Torbal Scales Division for the three months ended
September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018,
respectively, three customers accounted for approximately 23% (both
periods) of net sales of the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment
Operations (18% and 19% of the Company’s total revenues).
Sales of Catalyst Research Instruments generally comprise a few
very large orders averaging approximately $50,000 per order to a
limited number of customers, who differ from order to order. Sales
to two customers during the three months ended September 30, 2019
accounted for approximately 90% of the Catalyst Research
Instruments Operations revenues and 6% of the Company’s total
revenues. Sales to three customers during the three months ended
September 30, 2018 accounted for approximately 83% of the Catalyst
Research Instrument Operations’ revenues and 9% of the
Company’s total revenues.
4. Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
The
FASB defines the fair value of financial instruments as the amount
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at
the measurement date. Fair value measurements do not include
transaction costs.
The
accounting guidance also expands the disclosure requirements around
fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation
inputs. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels
based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value
are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is
reported in one of the three levels, which is determined by the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement in its entirety. These levels are described
below:
Level 1
- Inputs that are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical
instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2
- Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or
financial instruments for which all significant inputs are
observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3
- Prices or valuation that require inputs that are both significant
to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
In
valuing assets and liabilities, the Company is required to maximize
the use of quoted market prices and minimize the use of
unobservable inputs. The Company calculated the fair value of its
Level 1 and 2 instruments based on the exchange traded price of
similar or identical instruments where available or based on other
observable instruments. These calculations take into consideration
the credit risk of both the Company and its counterparties. The
Company has not changed its valuation techniques in measuring the
fair value of any financial assets and liabilities during the
period.
The
fair value of the contingent consideration obligations are based on
a probability weighted approach derived from the estimates of
earn-out criteria and the probability assessment with respect to
the likelihood of achieving those criteria. The measurement is
based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market,
therefore, the Company classifies this liability as Level 3 in the
following tables.

The
following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy
the Company’s financial assets that were accounted for at
fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2019 and June 30,
2019 according to the valuation techniques the Company used to
determine their fair values:

8.
Leases
On July
1, 2019 the Company adopted the new
accounting pronouncement as it relates to its leases which requires
a lessee to recognize all long-term leases on its balance sheet as
a liability for its lease obligation, measured at the present value
of lease payments not yet paid, and a corresponding asset
representing its right to use the underlying asset over the lease
term and expands disclosure of key information about leasing
arrangements.
The Company leases certain properties consisting principally of a
facility in Bohemia, New York (headquarters) through February 2025,
a facility in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for its Catalyst Research
Instrument Operations through November 2020 and another facility in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for its Bioprocessing Systems Operations
through November 2020. In addition, the Company had a lease for its
Torbal Division of the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations
which was mutually terminated early effective as of October 31,
2019 and a new lease for a similar sales and administration office
was entered into as of November 1, 2019 through October 2022. There
are no renewal options with any of the leases, no residual values
or significant restrictions or covenants other than those customary
in such arrangements, and no non-cash activities, and any rent
escalations incorporated within the leases are included in the
calculation of the future minimum lease payments, as further
described below. All of the Company’s leases are deemed
operating leases.
The Company determines whether an agreement contains a lease at
inception based on the Company’s right to obtain
substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the
identified asset and its right to direct the use of the identified
asset. Lease liabilities represent the present value of future
lease payments and the Right-Of-Use (“ROU”) assets
represent the Company’s right to use the underlying assets
for the respective lease terms. ROU assets and lease liabilities
are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present
value of the lease payments over the lease term. The ROU asset is
further adjusted to account for previously recorded lease expenses
such as deferred rent and other lease liabilities. As the
Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company
used its incremental borrowing rate of 5.0% as the discount rate to
calculate the present value of future lease payments, which was the
interest rate that its bank would charge for a similar
loan.
The Company elected not to recognize a ROU asset and a lease
liability for leases with an initial term of twelve months or less.
In addition to minimum lease payments, certain leases require
payment of a proportionate share of real estate taxes and certain
building operating expenses or payments based on an excess of a
specified base. These variable lease costs are not included in the
measurement of the ROU asset or lease liability due to
unpredictability of the payment amount and are recorded as
lease expenses in the period incurred. The Company’s lease
agreements do not contain residual value
guarantees.
The Company elected available practical expedients for existing or
expired contracts of lessees wherein the Company is not required to
reassess whether such contracts contain leases, the lease
classification or the initial direct costs. The Company is not
utilizing the practical expedient which allows the use of hindsight
by lessees and lessors in determining the lease term and in
assessing impairment of its ROU assets. The Company utilized the
transition method allowing entities to only apply the new lease
standard in the year of adoption.
As of September 30, 2019, the weighted-average remaining lease term
for operating lease liabilities was approximately 4 years and the
weighted-average discount rate was 5.0%. Total cash payments under
these leases were $68,400, of which $68,300 was recorded as leases
expense.
The Company’s approximate future minimum rental payments
under all leases existing at September 30, 2019 through February
2025 are as follows:

Operating lease payments exclude $76,400 of legally binding lease
payments for real estate leases signed but not yet commenced.
Operating leases that have been signed but not yet commenced are
expected to commence in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, with a
lease term of 3 years.

Forward-Looking statements. Certain statements contained in this report
are not based on historical facts, but are forward-looking
statements that are based upon various assumptions about future
conditions. Actual events in the future could differ materially
from those described in the forward-looking information. Numerous
unknown factors and future events could cause such differences,
including but not limited to, product demand, market acceptance,
success of marketing strategy, success of expansion efforts, impact
of competition, adverse economic conditions, and other factors
affecting the Company’s business that are beyond the
Company’s control, which are discussed elsewhere in this
report. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be
guaranteed. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise. This Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be
read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements
and the related notes included elsewhere in this
report.
Overview. The Company reflected a loss before income tax
expense of $75,700 for the three months ended September 30, 2019
compared to income before tax expense of $177,500 for the three
months ended September 30, 2018, primarily from the result of
decreased revenues and gross margins for the Benchtop Laboratory
Equipment Operations resulting from reduced orders from Asia,
primarily China, and increased component costs as a result of
tariffs imposed. In addition, the Company’s Scientific
Bioprocessing Operations also reflected decreased income from
operations due to the substantial investment in its new product
development efforts resulting in increased expenses. The
Company’s Catalyst Research Instruments reflected lower
income resulting from lower sales. The results reflected total
non-cash amounts for depreciation and amortization of $41,000 and $75,900 for the three months
ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Results of Operations. Net revenues for the three months
ended September 30, 2019 decreased $34,400 (1.7%) to $2,004,200
from $2,038,600 for the three months ended September 30, 2018,
reflecting a decrease of $115,700 (6.8%) decrease in net sales of
Benchtop Laboratory Equipment primarily due to sales of its Genie
brand products to Asia, particularly China. The Benchtop Laboratory
Equipment sales reflected $522,400 of Torbal brand product sales
for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $425,300
in the three months ended September 30, 2018 as a result of
continued growth in sales of the new force gauges product line.
Sales of Catalyst Research Instruments decreased by $78,800 to
$138,700 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to
$217,500 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 due to low
order input during the period. As of September 30, 2019, the order
backlog for Catalyst Research Instruments was $173,500, all of
which is expected to be shipped during the fiscal year ending June
30, 2020, compared to $329,400 as of September 30, 2018. Revenues
derived from the Bioprocessing Systems Operations which are
comprised primarily of net royalties accrued from sublicenses
increased by $160,100 (123.9%) to $289,300 for the three months
ended September 30, 2019 compared to $129,200 for the three months
ended September 30, 2018 due to increased royalties on Europe
sales.
The
gross profit percentage on a combined basis was 48.9% for the three
months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 46.4% for the three
months ended September 30, 2018. However, gross margins for the
Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations were affected by higher
component costs impacted by tariffs and the gross profit percentage
for the Catalyst Research Instruments was lower due to decreased
sales during the period and high overhead.
General
and administrative expenses for the three months ended September
30, 2019 increased by $93,700 (22.5%) to $510,200 compared to
$416,500 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 mainly due
to the ramp up in Scientific Bioprocessing Operations, and various
other corporate expenses.
Selling
expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 increased
$73,000 (30.9%) to $309,100 from $236,100 for the three months
ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to increased market research
and marketing activities by the Bioprocessing Systems Operations,
and to a lesser extent increased marketing by the Benchtop
Laboratory Equipment Operations.
Research
and development expenses increased by $119,200 (101.5%) to $236,600
for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $117,400
for the three months ended September 30, 2018, mainly due to the
ramp up in product development activities by the Bioprocessing
Systems Operations which included staffing and
materials.
The
Company reflected an income tax benefit of $19,500 for the three months ended
September 30, 2019 compared to an income tax expense of $35,500 for
the three months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to the
loss generated during the three months ended September 30,
2019.
As a
result of the foregoing, the Company recorded a net loss
of $56,200 for the three months
ended September 30, 2019 compared to net income of $142,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 2018.
Liquidity and Capital Resources. Cash and cash equivalents
decreased by $342,800 to $1,259,700 as of September 30, 2019 from
$1,602,500 as of June 30, 2019.
Net cash used in operating activities was $324,100 for the three
months ended September 30, 2019 compared to net cash provided by
operating activities of $460,700 during the three months ended
September 30, 2018, primarily as a
result of the loss incurred for the current year period.
Net cash used in investing activities
was $25,700 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared
to $4,900 used during the three
months ended September 30, 2018 principally due to new capital
equipment purchased during the current period by the Benchtop
Laboratory Equipment Operations. The Company
received proceeds of $7,000 in financing activities in the three
months ended September 30, 2019 compared to a loss of $1,600
in the three months ended September 30, 2018 due to the exercise of
stock options in the current year.
13
The Company's working capital decreased by $203,500 to $4,802,300
as of September 30, 2019 compared to $5,005,800, as of June 30,
2019 due to the loss generated during the period.
The Company has a Demand Line of Credit through December 2019 with
First National Bank of Pennsylvania which provides for borrowings
of up to $300,000 for regular working capital needs, bearing
interest at prime, currently 4.75%. Advances on the line, are
secured by a pledge of the Company’s assets including
inventory, accounts, chattel paper, equipment and general
intangibles of the Company. As of September 30, 2019 no borrowings
were outstanding under such line.
Management believes that the Company will be able to meet its cash
flow needs during the 12 months ending September 30, 2020 from its
available financial resources including the lines of credit, its
cash and investment securities, and operations. Commencing in the
fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, the Company
began committing significant resources for the Bioprocessing
Systems Operations for new engineering personnel, market research,
materials, supplies, and administration, and expects to continue to
grow this business segment which will require substantial cash
outlays.

the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer of the Company has
concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are
effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
the Company in its Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the applicable time periods
specified by the SEC's rules and forms. The Company also concluded
that information required to be disclosed in such reports is
accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including
its principal executive and principal financial officer, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
As a result of our adoption of the new revenue standard (Topic
606), we implemented controls to ensure adequate evaluation of
contracts and assessment of the impact of the new accounting
standard related to revenue recognition on our financial statements
to facilitate its adoption on July 1, 2018. There were no
significant changes to our internal control over financial
reporting due to the adoption of the new standard, as such term is
defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) during the
period covered by this Quarterly Report or in other factors that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal controls over financial
reporting.
As
a result of our adoption of the new leases standard (Topic 842), we
implemented controls to ensure adequate review and assessment of
contracts containing leases and calculations of assets and
liabilities related to the Company's leases as well as required
disclosures within the Company's financial statements to facilitate
its adoption on July 1, 2019. There were no significant changes to
our internal control over financial reporting due to the adoption
of the new standard, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) during the period covered by this Quarterly
Report or in other factors that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over
