Scientific Industries Reports Improved Results for Fiscal 2016


BOHEMIA, N.Y., Oct. 12, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Scientific Industries Inc. (OTCBB:SCND) reported net income of $165,600 ($.11 earnings per basic share) on net sales of $9,597,600, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, compared to $8,700 ($.01 earnings per basic share) on net sales of $7,848,400 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.

The increased income and revenues resulted primarily from increased sales and profits due to a substantial order for catalyst research instruments in fiscal 2016, and lower operating expenses of the Company’s benchtop laboratory equipment operations, partially offset by losses including impairment charges incurred by the Company’s bioprocessing systems operations as the products are still under development.  The results reflected non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses, including the impairment charges, primarily related to the Company’s intangible assets, totaling $641,600 as compared with $434,800 for the fiscal years 2016 and 2015, respectively. 

Ms. Helena R. Santos, President and Chief Executive Officer, noted that the Company currently has a sales backlog of $995,000 for catalyst research instruments, which it expects to deliver in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017.
