Management Discussion

Helena Santos, Chief Executive Officer of Scientific Industries, stated, “Despite the challenges posed during the quarter, particularly with supply chain disruptions and rising cost pressures, our team did a great job as the Company achieved solid sales and profits from our core business. We began to generate meaningful product sales from our Bioprocessing Systems Operations as we are building the foundation for future growth.”

John Moore, Chairman of Scientific Industries and President of Scientific Bioprocessing, Inc., (“SBI”), said, “During the first half of fiscal 2022, we expanded our capabilities to deliver to customers on our promise of Digitally Simplified Bioprocessing. These substantial investments are going to enhance our ability to deliver new features and benefits to customers in the second half of calendar year 2022. We are very excited by the results of our early efforts to expand sales of the aquila biolabs products in the USA, which contributed to the overall significant revenue growth in our Bioprocessing business of 143.4% for the six months of fiscal 2022.”

2022 Second Quarter and Six Months Financial Review

Net revenues for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2021 increased $186,800, or 6.9% and $1,022,100, or 21.6%, to $2,904,200 and $5,758,600 from $2,717,400 and $4,736,500 for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2020, fueled by product revenues generated by the Bioprocessing Systems Operations during the three month period and for the six month period – due primarily to increased sales from the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations in its first quarter of the current fiscal year.

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 month periods ended December 31, 2021 compared to a loss of $185,900 and $375,000 for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to increased operating expenses incurred by its Bioprocessing Systems Operations, which included significant amounts for product development, sales and marketing, and non-cash compensation expenses related to stock options, partially offset by profits generated by the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations.

As a result of the above, the Company reflected a net loss of $896,500 $(0.14) per share and $2,105,300 $(0.33) per share for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2021, compared to a net loss of $612,500 $(0.22) per share and $875,800 $(0.31) per share for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2020, respectively.
