SCIENTIFIC INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation
Scientific Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) design, manufacture, and market a variety of benchtop laboratory equipment and bioprocessing products. The Company is headquartered in Bohemia, New York where it produces benchtop laboratory and pharmacy equipment. Additionally, the Company has a location in Baesweiller, Germany, where it designs and produces a variety of bioprocessing products, and administrative facilities in Orangeburg, New York and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania related to sales and marketing. The products, which are sold to customers worldwide, include mixers, shakers, stirrers, refrigerated incubators, pharmacy balances and scales, force gauges, bioprocessing sensors and analytical tools.
The accompanying (a) condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) 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 notes 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 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-KT for the six months transition period of July 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily an indication of the results for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed 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), and Scientific Bioprocessing Holdings, Inc. (“SBHI”), a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary, which holds 100% of the outstanding stock of Scientific Bioprocessing, Inc. (“SBI”), a Delaware corporation, and aquila biolabs GmbH (“Aquila”), a German corporation, since its acquisition on April 29, 2021, (all collectively referred to as the “Company”). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Liquidity and Going Concern Considerations
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. However, for the reasons described below, Company management does not believe that cash on hand and cash flows generated internally by the Company will be adequate to fund its overhead and other cash requirements over the next twelve months. These reasons raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are to be filed.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management is in plans to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its operating expenses and seeking third party equity and/or debt financing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Restatement Background
On April 12, 2023, the management of Scientific Industries, Inc. (the "Company"), together with the Company's Board of Directors, acting collective as the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") reached a determination that the Company’s consolidated audited financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Company’s consolidated unaudited financial statements as of and for the quarter period ended September 30, 2022 included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC, collectively the “Non-Reliance Periods”, should no longer be relied upon because of material misstatements contained in those consolidated financial statements. The Company’s management and the Audit Committee discussed the matters with Macias Gini & O'Connell LLP (“MGO”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and determined to restate its consolidated audited financial statements for the Non-Reliance Periods. During the preparation of its audited financial statements for the six-month transition period from July 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022, the Company identified an error in the assessment of a full valuation allowance against the consolidated net deferred tax asset and in addition, the Company identified an error in the use of future projections and weighted average cost of capital used in the annual goodwill impairment testing of the Company’s Bioprocessing Systems segment. Upon further analysis of the errors, the Company determined that it should have allocated a full valuation allowance to the consolidated net deferred tax asset and applied a goodwill impairment charge to the Bioprocessing Systems reporting unit in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, as restated in the Company’s Transition Report for the six-month transition period from July 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022, filed on Form 10-KT with the SEC.
The Company has restated certain information within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, relevant to the unaudited interim financial information as of September 30, 2022.
Derivative Instruments
The Company may enter into derivative transactions to hedge its exposures to foreign exchange risk associated with Euro foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities and other Euro foreign currency transactions. On January 9, 2023, the Company entered into a 90-day foreign currency forward contract with a settled date on April 11, 2023, for a notional amount of $ 1,082,500 . On April 4, 2023, the Company entered into a 90 day foreign currency forward contract with a settled date on July 11, 2023, for a notional amount of $ 1,097,300 . The foreign currency forward contracts are used to manage the foreign exchange risk associated with a portion of the Company’s Euro foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities and other Euro foreign currency transactions. The Company is required to record these derivatives in the balance sheet at fair value. In order for a derivative to qualify as a hedge, specific criteria must be met and appropriate documentation maintained. Gains and losses from derivatives that do not qualify as hedges, or are undesignated, must be recognized immediately in earnings. If the derivative does qualify as a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will be either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Changes in the fair value of undesignated derivatives are recorded in the statement of operations.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (“ASC 326”): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the “incurred loss” model for recognizing credit losses with a forward-looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of credit losses. The measurement of current expected credit losses, or “CECL”, is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts incorporating forward-looking information that affect the collectability of the reported amount. ASU No. 2016-13 is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures.

Table of Contents
Allowance for Credit Losses – Accounts Receivable
The allowance for credit losses required under ASC 326 is a valuation account that is deducted from the accounts receivables’ amortized cost basis on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our accounts receivables are generated from the sales revenue derived from the Company’s Benchtop Laboratory Equipment and Bioprocessing Systems segments. The Company elected to estimate expected losses using an analytical model based on methods that utilize the accounts receivable aging schedule. This analytical model incorporates historical loss activity, geographic location, customer-specific information, collection terms and customer amounts. The Company evaluates the estimated allowance on an aggregate basis as each individual account receivable shares similar risk characteristics. Upon adoption of ASC 326 using the modified retrospective transition method and as of September 30, 2023, the Company determined that the allowance for credit losses, if any, is immaterial as of adoption date and the Company will continue to evaluate the accounts receivable portfolio on an on-going basis.
Allowance for Credit Losses – Available-for-Sale Debt Securities
The impairment model for available-for-sale (“AFS”) debt securities differs from the CECL methodology applied for held to maturity debt securities because AFS debt securities are measured at fair value rather than amortized cost. Although ASC 326 replaced the legacy other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) model with a credit loss model, it retained the fundamental nature of the legacy OTTI model. For AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either criterion is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value. For AFS debt securities where neither of the criteria is met, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the credit rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security is compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, limited to the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any remaining discount that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income. Upon adoption of ASC 326, an entity may no longer consider the length of time fair value has been less than amortized cost. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as a provision (or release) for credit losses. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the collectability of an AFS security is considered below the amortized cost basis of the security. As of September 30, 2023, the Company determined that the unrealized loss positions in AFS securities were not the result of credit losses, and therefore, an allowance for credit losses was not recorded.
3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows ASC - Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 820”), Fair Value Measurement, which has defined 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.

Table of Contents
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 was 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 were 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 that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 according to the valuation techniques the Company used to determine their fair values:

The Company reviews the available-for-sale debt securities (“AFS”) for declines in fair value below the amortized cost basis under the credit loss model of ASC 326. Any decline in fair value related to a credit loss is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, with the amount of the loss limited to the difference between fair value and amortized cost. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the allowance for credit losses related to available-for sale debt securities was zero.

On January 9, 2023, the Company entered into a 90 day foreign currency forward contract for a notional amount of $ 1,082,500 , which settled on April 11, 2023. On April 4, 2023, the Company entered into a 90 day foreign currency forward contract for a notional amount of $ 1,097,300 which settled on July 11, 2023. The foreign currency forward contract are used to manage the foreign exchange risk associated with a portion of its Euro foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities and other Euro foreign currency transactions. Although the Company believes the hedge position accomplish an economic hedge against the Company’s future purchases and sales, management has chosen not to use hedge accounting, which would match the gain or loss on our hedge positions to the specific expense being hedged. The Company is using fair value accounting for our hedge positions, which means as the current market price of our hedge positions changes, the realized or unrealized gains and losses are immediately recognized in our statement of operations. The immediate recognition of hedging gains and losses can cause net income/loss to be volatile from quarter to quarter due to the timing of the change in value of the derivative instruments.

6. Commitment and Contingencies
Legal Matters
The Company may be named from time to time as a party to claims and litigations arising in the ordinary course of business. When the Company becomes aware of potential litigation, it evaluates the merits of the case in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies. Litigation and contingency accruals are based on our assessment, including advice of legal counsel, regarding the expected outcome of litigation or other dispute resolution proceedings. If the Company determines that an unfavorable outcome is probable and can be reasonably assessed, it establishes the necessary accruals. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company is not aware of any contingent legal liabilities that should be reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

Stock-based compensation expense
On July 21, 2023, the Company’s Bioprocessing System segment entered into a separation agreement with their VP of Sales (“former employee”). In connection with the separation agreement, the Company extended the exercisability of the former employee’s vested stock options up through the original expiration date of July, 13, 2030 , which the Company recorded a additional $ 684,900 of noncash stock base compensation expense related to the modification of the exercisability of the vested stock options
8. 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 or loss 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. The following table sets forth the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each period presented.
