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, 2021. The results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 are not necessarily an indication of the results for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2022.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Scientific Industries, Inc., Scientific Packaging Industries, Inc., an inactive wholly-owned subsidiary, Altamira Instruments, Inc. (“Altamira”), a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary (discontinued operation as of November 30, 2020), Scientific Bioprocessing Holdings, Inc. (“SBHI”), a Delaware corporation, and SBHI’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Scientific Bioprocessing, Inc. (“SBI”), a Delaware corporation, and aquila biolabs GmbH (“Aquila”), a German corporation, which was acquired on April 29, 2021, (all collectively referred to as the “Company”). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy began to take effect and adversely affected the Company’s operations at the end of the third quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. At that time, the Company took appropriate action and put plans in place to diminish the adverse effects of COVID-19 on its operations, enabling the Company to continue to operate with minor or temporary disruptions to its operations. The Company took immediate action pertaining to COVID-19 preparedness by implementing the Center for Disease Control’s guidelines for employers in order to protect the Company’s employees’ health and safety, with actions such as implementing work from home, social distancing in the workplace, requiring self-quarantine for any employee showing symptoms, wearing face coverings, and training employees on maintaining a healthy work environment. SBI’s facility was shut down temporarily due to state mandates, however, the impact on operations was minimal, and the Company has been able to retain its employees without furloughs or layoffs, in part, due to the Company’s receipt of two loans under the Federal Government’s Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The Company received $563,800 and $433,800 in PPP loans in April 2020 and March 2021, respectively. The first loan was forgiven in June 2021 except for $32,700 which was repaid by the Company and the second loan was forgiven in full in December 2021. The Company elected to account for its PPP Loans in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), 470 Debt, with interest, if any, accrued in accordance with the interest method under ASC 835-30, Imputation of Interest. Initially, the Company recognized the entire loan amounts as liabilities on its balance sheets, and remain as liabilities until either the Company is legally released from its obligations or pays the lender. Once the loan is forgiven, the amount forgiven is recorded in the Company’s statement of operations as “Other Income.”

Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”, which is designed to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. ASU No. 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this standard as of July 1, 2021 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

2. Revenue

The Company generates revenues from the following sources: (1) Benchtop Laboratory Equipment, and (2) Bioprocessing Systems.

The following table summarizes the Company’s disaggregation of revenues for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

	Benchtop Laboratory Equipment		Bioprocessing Systems		Consolidated
Three Months Ended December 31, 2021:

Revenues	$	2,501,300	$	402,900	$	2,904,200

Foreign Sales		959,300		430,000		1,389,300

	Benchtop Laboratory Equipment		Bioprocessing Systems		Consolidated
Three Months Ended December 31, 2020:

Revenues	$	2,507,400	$	210,000	$	2,717,400

Foreign Sales		1,150,700		206,100		1,356,800

	Benchtop Laboratory Equipment		Bioprocessing Systems		Consolidated
Six Months Ended December 31, 2021:

Revenues	$	5,031,100	$	727,500	$	5,758,600

Foreign Sales		2,031,100		521,500		2,552,600

	Benchtop Laboratory Equipment		Bioprocessing Systems		Consolidated
Six Months Ended December 31, 2020:

Revenues	$	4,437,600	$	298,900	$	4,736,500

Foreign Sales		1,782,600		292,400		2,075,000

Benchtop Laboratory Equipment sales are comprised primarily of standard benchtop laboratory equipment sold to laboratory equipment distributors, or to end users primarily via e-commerce. The sales cycle from time of receipt of order to shipment ranges from a day to a few weeks. Customers either pay by credit card (online sales) or Net 30-90 days, depending on the customer. Once the item is shipped under the 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 one or two years, covering parts and labor, and is deemed immaterial. Revenue is recognized at the point in time when the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer, which is generally upon shipment.

Bioprocessing Systems revenues consist of royalty revenues generated through SBI and product revenues generated primarily through Aquila. Royalty revenues are earned by the Company under a licensing agreement from a single licensee and its sublicenses. The license agreement included two United States patents, which expired in August 2021. The Company is obligated to pay 50% of all royalties earned to the entity that licensed the intellectual property to the Company.

4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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 table.

The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 according to the valuation techniques the Company used to determine their fair values:

7. Loss Per Common Share

The Company presents the computation of earnings per share (“EPS”) on a basic basis. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income, if any, by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted EPS is computed similarly to basic EPS, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential additional common shares that were dilutive had been issued. Common shares are excluded from the calculation if they are determined to be anti-dilutive; accordingly, no dilution is shown for loss periods. The following table sets forth the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each period presented.

	For the Three Month Period Ended December 31, 2021			For the Three Month Period Ended December 31, 2020			For the Six Month Period Ended December 31, 2021			For the Six Month Period Ended December 31, 2020

Weighted average number of common shares outstanding		6,458,143			2,861,263			6,458,143			2,861,263
Effect of dilutive securities		-			-			-			-
Weighted average number of dilutive common shares outstanding		6,458,143			2,861,263			6,458,143			2,861,263

Basic loss per common share:

Continuing operations	$	(.14	)	$	(.05	)	$	(.33	)	$	(.10	)
Discontinued operations	$	.00		$	(.17	)	$	.00		$	(.21	)
Consolidated operations	$	(.14	)	$	(.22	)	$	(.33	)	$	(.31	)

Approximately 3,288,927 and 3,367,555 shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants, respectively, were excluded from the calculation because the effect would be anti-dilutive due to the loss for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021. Approximately, 126,700 and 1,349,850 shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants, respectively, were excluded from the calculation because the effect would be anti-dilutive due to the loss for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020.

8. Leases

The Company leases certain properties consisting principally of a facility in Bohemia, New York (headquarters) through October 2028, a facility in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for SBI’s Bioprocessing Systems Operations through May 2023, and a facility for sales and administration in Orangeburg, New York 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.

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 whereby 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 December 31, 2021, the weighted-average remaining lease term for operating lease liabilities was approximately 6.83 years and the weighted-average discount rate was 5.0%. Total cash payments under these leases were approximately $89,800 and $158,100, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 of which $81,800 and $144,400 was recorded as leases expense, respectively.

The Company’s approximate future minimum rental payments under all leases existing at December 31, 2021 through October 2028 are as follows:

Fiscal year ending June 30,	Amount
Remainder of 2022	$	164,200
2023		311,400
2024		247,600
2025		255,000
2026		262,700
Thereafter		609,600

Total future minimum payments	$	1,850,500
Less imputed interest		(275,400	)

Total Present Value of Operating Lease Liabilities	$	1,575,100

9. Discontinued Operations

Effective November 30, 2020, as part of its strategic shift to becoming a life sciences tool provider, the Company sold its operations relating to the manufacture and marketing of custom-made catalyst research instruments for universities, government laboratories, and chemical petrochemical companies sold on direct basis (the “ Catalyst Research Instruments Operations”) through the sale by Altamira of substantially all of its assets, and inventory to Beijing JWGB Sci. & Tech. Co. Ltd., a corporation formed under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“JWGB”) for $440,000 which was fully paid in cash by January 2021, resulting in a $405,400 pre-tax loss. To preserve business continuity for the buyer, Altamira agreed to purchase certain components on behalf of JWGB for which JWGB agreed to reimburse Altamira. The Company retained all its receivables and payables related to sales made prior to November 30, 2020, certain inventory related to two work-in-process orders which have been shipped, product warranty and other miscellaneous liabilities related to certain employee benefits, and expenses related to the closure of the Altamira facility, which was completed at the end of December 2020.

As a result of the disposal described above, the operating results of the former Catalyst Research Instruments Operations segment have been presented as discontinued operations in the balance sheets, the statements of operations, and the statements of cash flows, as detailed below.

10. Acquisition of Aquila Biolabs GmbH

Effective April 29, 2021, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) the Company acquired all the outstanding capital stock of Aquila, a German start-up company engaged from its facility in Baesweiler, Germany in the design, production, and sale of bioprocessing systems and products which focus on the control and analysis of bioprocesses in bioreactors and incubation shakers for an aggregate purchase price of $7,880,100 in cash upon closing. Aquila’s principal customers are universities, pharmaceutical companies, and industrial companies. Aquila’s products are sold primarily on a direct basis and to a lesser extent, through distributors.

The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) in which the Company is treated as the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been measured at estimated fair value.

For purposes of measuring the estimated fair value, where applicable, of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information, the guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) has been applied, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value. In accordance with ASC 820, fair value is an exit price and is defined as “the price 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.” Under ASC 805, acquisition-related transaction costs and acquisition-related restructuring charges are not included as components of consideration transferred but are accounted for as expenses in the period in which the costs are incurred.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

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’s results reflect the results from the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations and the Bioprocessing Systems Operations, which includes the results for Aquila following its acquisition on April 29, 2021. The Company realized a loss from continuing operations before income tax benefit of $1,321,300 and $2,853,600 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 compared to a loss from continuing operations before income tax benefit of $185,900 and $375,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, respectively, primarily due to increased operating expenses of its Bioprocessing Systems Operations, which included significant expenditures for product development, sales and marketing, and non-cash compensation expense related to stock options, partially offset by the profits generated by the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations.

COVID-19 Pandemic. The Company has not experienced and does not expect to experience any material impact on its ability to collect its accounts receivable due to the nature of its customers, which are primarily distributors of laboratory equipment and supplies, and pharmaceutical companies, which have benefitted from the Pandemic due to the nature of the products and have the ability to pay. The Company also has not experienced and does not expect to experience any material impairment to its tangible and intangible assets, system of internal controls, or delivery and distribution of its products as a result of COVID-19, however the ultimate impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows is dependent on future developments, including the duration or worsening of the pandemic, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. The Company has experienced supply chain disruptions which has had an impact on its operations causing delayed delivery of some products to its customers, and production inefficiencies. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had a total backlog of approximately $853,000 in benchtop laboratory equipment orders, compared to $860,000 as of December 31, 2020.

In addition, due to the travel restrictions imposed by the United States and other governments worldwide, Company personnel has been and may be restricted in the future from traveling to conduct its operations including trade shows, site visits, customer visits and installations, vendor facility visits, and other sales and marketing related travel that can negatively impact the Company. The operations of Aquila were negatively affected in their ability to secure new orders because Aquila had historically relied on face-to-face meetings at trade shows for its sales opportunities. While it has participated in virtual trade shows, management believes that certain sales opportunities were lost as a result.

Results of Operations.

The Three Months Ended December 31, 2021 Compared With The Three Months Ended December 31, 2020

Net revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2021 increased $186,800 (6.9%) to $2,904,200 from $2,717,400 for the three months ended December 31, 2020, reflecting an increase of $192,900 (49.0%) in net revenues due to product revenues derived from Aquila, partially offset by a decrease of $6,100 in sales of the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment due to decreased sales of its Genie brand products, partially offset by increased sales of its Torbal® brand products. The Benchtop Laboratory Equipment sales reflected $735,400 of Torbal brand product sales for the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to $576,800 for the three months ended December 31, 2020 primarily due to increased sales of its automated VIVID pill counter.

The gross profit percentage on a combined basis was 48.5% for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to 51.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2020, due primarily to decreased margins for the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations resulting from increased labor costs and materials.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2021 increased by $829,300 (154.5%) to $1,366,200 from $536,900 for the three months ended December 31, 2020 due primarily to stock option compensation-related costs, newly incurred costs by Aquila of the Bioprocessing Systems Operations, and corporate expenses.

Selling expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2021 increased $228,200 (29.3%) to $1,007,100 from $778,900 for the three months ended December 31, 2020, and were incurred primarily by the by the Bioprocessing Systems operations for sales and marketing personnel, sales and marketing activities, and stock option compensation-related costs.

Table of Contents

Research and development expenses increased by $550,600 (167.0%) to $880,300 for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to $329,700 for the three months ended December 31, 2020, mainly due to product development costs incurred by the Bioprocessing Systems Operations’ Aquila operation which was acquired in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, and to a lesser extent to increased product development costs related to the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations.

Total other income, net for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was $523,500 reflecting $433,800 of loan forgiveness for the Company’s second PPP Loan, compared to $53,500 for the three months ended December 31, 2020.

The Company reflected income tax benefit for continuing operations of $414,700 for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to income tax benefit of $47,600 for the three months ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to the increased loss.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company recorded a loss from continuing operations of $906,600 for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to a loss from continuing operations of $138,300 for the three months ended December 31, 2020.
