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, 2017. The results for the three months ended September 30, 2017, are not necessarily an indication of the results for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2018.

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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The update addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted only for certain portions of the ASU related to financial liabilities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this new standard on the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842). The FASB issued this update to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The updated guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the update is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (Topic 606)”. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross verses Net) (Topic 606)”. These amendments provide additional clarification and implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The amendments in ASU 2016-10 provide clarifying guidance on materiality of performance obligations; evaluating distinct performance obligations; treatment of shipping and handling costs; and determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use an entity’s intellectual property or a right to access an entity’s intellectual property. The amendments in ASU 2016-08 clarify how an entity should identify the specified good or service for the principal versus agent evaluation and how it should apply the control principle to certain types of arrangements. The adoption of ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-08 is to coincide with an entity’s adoption of ASU 2014-09, which the Company intends to adopt for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is in the process of evaluating the standard and does not expect the adoption will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients”, which narrowly amended the revenue recognition guidance regarding collectability, noncash consideration, presentation of sales tax and transition and is effective during the same period as ASU 2014-09. The Company is currently evaluating the standard and does not expect the adoption will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “ Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” . This update provides guidance on how to record eight specific cash flow issues. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and a retrospective transition method to each period should be presented. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this update on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)” , requiring that the statement of cash flows explain the change in the total cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The provisions of this guidance are to be applied using a retrospective approach which requires application of the guidance for all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, “ Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception” . Part I of this update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part II of this update addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. The amendments in Part II of this update do not have an accounting effect. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2017-11 will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

Adopted Accounting Pronoucements

In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2015-17, " Income Taxes: Balance Sheet Classification of Derffered Taxes " (ASU 2015-17") which was effective for fiscal years begining December 15,2016 (fiscal 2018 for the Company). ASU 2015-17 required that deferred tax assets and liabilities be net and classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet rather than presenting deferred taxes into current and noncurrent amounts. The Company adopted ASU 2015-07 effective for the fiscal quarter of the year ending June 30, 2018. The Company applied the new guidance on a respective basis, resulting in a reclassification of current deferred tax assts totaling $129,000 against long term deferred tax liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2017. The adoption of this ASU had no impact on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations.

2. Segment Information and Concentrations

The Company views its operations as three segments: the manufacture and marketing of standard benchtop laboratory equipment for research in university, hospital and industrial laboratories sold primarily through laboratory equipment distributors and laboratory and pharmacy balances and scales (“Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations”), the manufacture and marketing of custom-made catalyst research instruments for universities, government laboratories, and chemical and petrochemical companies sold on a direct basis (“Catalyst Research Instruments Operations”) and the design and marketing of bioprocessing systems and products and related royalty income (“Bioprocessing Systems”).

Segment information is reported as follows:

	Benchtop Laboratory Equipment	Catalyst Research Instruments	Bioprocessing Systems	Corporate And Other	Consolidated

	Benchtop Laboratory Equipment	Catalyst Research Instruments	Bioprocessing Systems	Corporate And Other	Consolidated

Three Months Ended September 30, 2016:

Revenues	$ 1,456,800	$ 77,500	$ 24,800	$ -	$ 1,559,100

Foreign Sales	561,200	4,800	-	-	566,000

Income (Loss) From Operations	101,400	(141,700 )	(34,700 )	-	(75,000 )

Assets	4,034,400	2,286,700	428,100	692,200	7,441,400

Long-Lived Asset Expenditures	8,400	-	-	-	8,400

Depreciation and Amortization	76,700	6,600	12,400	-	95,700

Approximately 46% and 49% of net sales of benchtop laboratory equipment for the three month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, were derived from the Company’s main product, the Vortex-Genie 2 mixer, excluding accessories.

Approximately 25% and 26% of total benchtop laboratory equipment sales were derived from the Torbal Scales Division for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, two customers accounted in the aggregate for approximately 15% and 16% of net sales of the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations (14% and 15% 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 one customer during the three months ended September 30, 2016 accounted for approximately 57% of the Catalyst Research Instrument Operations’ revenues and 3% of the Company’s total revenues.

3. 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, 2017 and June 30, 2017 according to the valuation techniques the Company used to determine their fair values:

		Fair Value Measurements Using Inputs Considered as

I t em 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 reflected a loss before income tax benefit of $306,500 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to a loss before income tax benefit of $69,600 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to decreased sales and margins of benchtop laboratory equipment during the period, and decreased sales recorded by the Catalyst Research Instruments Operations. The results reflected total non-cash amounts for depreciation and amortization of $77,100 for the three month period ended September 30, 2017 and $95,700 for the corresponding three month period in 2016.

Results of Operations. Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2017 decreased $278,300 (17.9%) to $1,280,800 from $1,559,100 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, reflecting a decrease of $257,400 (17.7%) in net sales of benchtop laboratory equipment, due to a lower number of orders from overseas which sometimes is experienced during summer months, and decreased orders from Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) customers. The benchtop laboratory equipment sales reflected $307,200 of Torbal brand product sales for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $383,400 in the three months ended September 30, 2016. Sales of catalyst research instruments decreased by $48,800 (63.0%) with no large orders shipped during the period. As of September 30, 2017, the order backlog for catalyst research instruments, was $323,900, all of which is expected to be shipped during fiscal year ending June 30, 2018, compared to $1,167,000 as of September 30, 2016. Revenues derived from the Bioprocessing Systems Operations which are comprised primarily of net royalties accrued from sublicensees, while it continues with its product development efforts, increased by $27,900 (112.5%).

The gross profit percentage for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was 35.3% compared to 42.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The current period gross margin for catalyst research instruments was negatively impacted by the lower sales. The gross profit percentage for the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations was lower due to fixed costs on lower sales and the sales mix.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 amounted to $428,400 compared to $412,400 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 due to increased expenses for the Bioprocessing Systems Operations.

Selling expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 decreased $15,800 (7.3%) to $201,000 from $216,800 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, due to lower sales related expenses for the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations.

Research and development expenses increased by $13,700 (11.9%) to $129,100 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $115,400 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to increased new product development costs incurred by the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations related to the Torbal Scales Division and the Bioprocessing Systems Operations.

Total other income was $300 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $5,400 for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

The Company reflected an income tax benefit of $73,900 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to income tax benefit of $20,800 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to the higher loss incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2017.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company recorded a net loss of $232,600 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to a net loss of $48,800 for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $82,200 to $942,900 as of September 30, 2017 from $1,025,100 as of June 30, 2017.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $103,600 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $151,700 used during the three months ended September 30, 2016. The current period reflected higher collections of accounts receivable and higher accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by increased loss and inventories. Net cash used in investing activities was $41,500 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $8,400 used during the three months ended September 30, 2016 principally due to new capital equipment purchased during the current year period by the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations. The Company used $144,300 in financing activities in the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $118,900 in the three months ended September 30, 2016.

The Company's working capital decreased by $195,900 to $3,907,000 as of June 30, 2017 compared to $4,102,900, as of June 30, 2017 due to the loss during the period.

The Company has a Demand Line of Credit through December 2017 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 4.25%. 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, 2017 no borrowings were outstanding under this line.

Management believes that the Company will be able to meet its cash flow needs during the 12 months ending June 30, 2018 from its available financial resources including its line of credit, its cash and investment securities, and operations.

It e m 4. Controls and P rocedures
