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) unaudited condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, which have 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-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily an indication of the results for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Scientific Industries, Inc., 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, Scientific Packaging Industries, Inc., an inactive wholly-owned subsidiary and Altamira Instruments, Inc. (“Altamira”), a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary (discontinued operation as of November 30, 2020) (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”) which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company generated negative cash flows from operations of $1,561,100 and has an accumulated deficit of $29,536,700 as of March 31, 2024.

In order to address these conditions, the Company has undertaken a number of strategic initiatives that management believes will provide sufficient funding to enable the Company to continue to operate as a going concern. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company continued to eliminate certain operating expenses in conjunction with its review of the strategic operational and product development plan for the Bioprocessing Systems Operations segment. The Company identified expenses which the Company does not anticipate replacing or to be recurring in the Company’s operational plans for the foreseeable future, primarily in the form of reduced number of employees and related employment expenses. An additional $716,776 of equity financing was raised in January 2024 as disclosed in Note 7. Management is in plans to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital through third party equity and/or debt financing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing its plans.

As a result of the above actions, as of May 15, 2024, the Company believes that it will be able to meet its cash flow needs during the next 12 months from cash and investment securities on-hand, cash derived from its Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations, and availability of the Company’s line of credit.

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.

Reclassifications

Certain balances from fiscal 2023 have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

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.

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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 according to the valuation techniques the Company used to determine their fair values:

6. Commitment and Contingencies

Legal Matters

During the normal course of business, 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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company is not aware of any contingent legal liabilities that should be reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

7. Stockholders’ Equity

Issuance of Common Stock and Warrants

On January 17, 2024, the Company completed the last closing of its sale of securities pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) entered on December 13, 2023, as filed in the Company’s Form 8-K on December 15, 2023. At this closing, the Company sold an aggregate of 358,388 Units, comprising 358,388 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.05 per share (“Common Stock”) and warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase 358,388 shares of Common Stock for a total consideration of $716,776. The Company recognized $98,700 of issuance cost, which includes $71,100 attributable to legal and placement agent fees and $27,600 attributable to the fair value of warrants, issued to the placement agent, to purchase up to 17,919 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share on substantially the same terms as the Warrants issued to the Investors.

As an incentive to certain Investors of the Company who participated in previous private placements (“Existing Investors”) and received as part of those financings, warrants (“Outstanding Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock, the Company agreed that, if any Existing Investor were to purchase Units at a certain level in the offering thereof under the Purchase Agreement (the “Offering”), the Company would reduce the exercise price of the Outstanding Warrants held by such Existing Investor to $2.50 per share and extend the period in which such Outstanding Warrants could be exercised to the fifth anniversary of the date on which the Existing Investor purchased Units under the Purchase Agreement. Each Existing Investor purchasing Units at the requisite level will receive a new warrant (the “Replacement Warrants”) to replace such Existing Investor’s Outstanding Warrants. On January 17, 2024, as a result of their purchase of Units, Existing Investors became entitled to receive Replacement Warrants to replace 333,884 Outstanding Warrants, and therefore reducing the exercise price of such Outstanding Warrants to $2.50 per share and extending the period in which such Outstanding Warrants could be exercised to the fifth anniversary of the relevant closing under the Purchase Agreement.

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.

For the three months ended March 31,
20242023
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding10,436,6477,003,599
Effect of dilutive securities:--
Weighted average number of dilutive common shares outstanding10,436,6477,003,599
Basic and diluted loss per common share:
Continuing operations$(0.20)$(0.34)
Discontinued operations--
Consolidated operations$(0.20)$(0.34)

Approximately 1,113,837 and 7,856,203 shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, respectively, were excluded from the calculation because the effect would be anti-dilutive due to the loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Approximately 22,368 and 0 shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, respectively, were excluded from the calculation because the effect would be anti-dilutive due to the loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
