(1) Fixed assets and depreciation related to the Drug Lead Discovery segment are not allocated to the segment as the assets are owned directly by New Brunswick Scientific Co., Inc. and are included in the Laboratory Research Equipment Segment. However, rental expense in lieu of depreciation expense is charged to the Drug Lead Discovery segment which is comprised of DGI BioTechnologies, the Company's drug lead discovery operation. Note 3 - Earnings (loss) per Common share: Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the sum of the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of stock options which have been issued by the Company unless the effect of the stock options is antidilutive. Note 4 - Credit Agreement: The Company had a $5 Million Secured Revolving Credit Agreement with Summit Bank which was effective through May 31, 1999. On April 16, 1999, the Company terminated the credit agreement with Summit Bank and entered into an agreement (the Agreement) with First Union National Bank for a three year, $31 million secured line of credit. The Agreement provides the Company with a $5 million revolving credit facility for both working capital and for letters of credit, a $1 million Revolving Line of Credit for equipment acquisition purposes, a $15 million credit line for acquisitions and a $10 million foreign exchange facility. There are no compensating balance requirements and any borrowings under the Agreement bear interest at various rates based upon a function of the bank's prime rate or Libor at the discretion of the Company. All of the Company's domestic assets, which are not otherwise subject to lien have been pledged as security for any borrowings under this Agreement.

AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION Forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, are made throughout this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," "seeks," "estimates," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. There are a number of important factors that could cause the results of the Company to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. The following is Management's discussion and analysis of significant factors that have affected the Company's operating results and financial condition during the quarter ended March 31, 1999. Results of Operations Quarter Ended March 31, 1999 vs. Quarter Ended March 31, 1998. - -------------------------------------------------------------- For the quarter ended March 31, 1999, net sales were $11,754,000 compared with net sales of $10,950,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998, an increase of 7.3%. The net loss for the 1999 quarter of $995,000 or $.21 per diluted share compares with a net loss of $309,000 or $.07 per diluted share for the first quarter of 1998. The increase in sales for the 1999 quarter is primarily attributable to the Company's European operations. Gross margins declined during the quarter ended March 31, 1999 to 34.4% from 37.5% during the quarter ended March 31, 1998 due to the fact that margins on certain product lines and in some market areas were lower than anticipated but margins are expected to return to historical levels for the remainder of the year. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 8.3% during the 1999 quarter compared with the first quarter of 1998 as a result of normal year to year increases and the strengthening of the Company's European sales and marketing organization including the operating costs of Inceltech, the French fermentor manufacturer acquired by the Company in late 1998. The increase of 19% in research, development and engineering expenses is primarily attributable to increased spending by DGI BioTechnologies, the Company's drug lead discovery operation. Interest income declined during the 1999 quarter due to a lower level of average available cash. Equity in loss in joint venture company relates to the Company's interest in NBS Projects, a joint venture with an engineering company, which provides turnkey bioprocess projects for pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry customers which began operations in mid-1998. No income tax benefit was established for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 as a valuation allowance was established to offset the deferred tax asset created by the net operating loss generated in the first quarter of 1999. Financial Condition ------------------- Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- Working capital decreased from $24,133,000 at December 31, 1998 to $22,736,000 at March 31, 1999 and cash and cash equivalents decreased from $3,793,000 at December 31, 1998 to $2,042,000 at March 31, 1999 as a result of the following: Cash Flows from Operating Activities - ------------------------------------ During the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 net cash used in operating activities amounted to $1,423,000 and $414,000, respectively. The primary reasons for the $1,009,000 change between the two periods were a decrease in accounts receivable of $232,000 in 1999 vs. a decrease of $1,099,000 in 1998, an increase in inventories of $632,000 in 1999 vs. an increase of $193,000 in 1998 and the net loss of $995,000 in 1999 vs. the net loss of $309,000 in 1998, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $303,000 in 1999 vs. a decrease of $684,000 in 1998. Cash Flows from Investing Activities - ------------------------------------ Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $399,000 in 1999 vs. $433,000 in 1998, primarily as a result of additions to property, plant and equipment in both periods. Cash Flows from Financing Activities - ------------------------------------ Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $158,000 in 1999 vs. $10,000 in 1998. The 1999 amount includes $166,000 from the exercise of stock options and the 1998 amount includes $49,000 from the exercise of stock options, partially offset in both periods by the repayment of long-term debt. Management believes that the resources available to the Company, including its line of credit are sufficient to meet its near and intermediate-term needs, including the funding commitments for DGI BioTechnologies. Credit Agreement: - ----------------- The Company had a $5 Million Secured Revolving Credit Agreement with Summit Bank which was effective through May 31, 1999. On April 16, 1999, the Company terminated the credit agreement with Summit Bank and entered into an agreement (the Agreement) with First Union National Bank for a three year, $31 million secured line of credit. The Agreement provides the Company with a $5 million revolving credit facility for both working capital and for letters of credit, a $1 million Revolving Line of Credit for equipment acquisition purposes, a $15 million credit line for acquisitions and a $10 million foreign exchange facility. There are no compensating balance requirements and any borrowings under the Agreement bear interest at various rates based upon a function of the bank's prime rate or Libor at the discretion of the Company. All of the Company's domestic assets, which are not otherwise subject to lien have been pledged as security for any borrowings under this Agreement. Year 2000 - --------- The Company has no internally developed software that it utilizes for its operations, but uses Version 11 of Computer Associates ManMan Classic software, a total MRPII system which it employs for its manufacturing, sales and accounting needs and Windows NT which is used for the Company's network. Management believes, based on the representations of the software companies, that both of these software packages are Year 2000 (Y2K) compliant. In addition, the Company uses a number of computer controlled machine tools which are all Y2K compliant. Most of the Company's products have no date functions and consequently do not have a Y2K problem with the exception of its process control software products, which do have date related functions but with one exception are Y2K compliant. The exception is a now obsolete DOS-based process control system introduced in 1987 for which a Y2K compliant upgrade is available. The Company has sent letters to the majority of its suppliers and companies accounted for using the equity method requesting information as to their readiness for the Y2K and based upon the responses believes that the respondents are prepared for the Y2K. The Company intends to replace obsolete, non-compliant personal computers by the middle of 1999 in the normal course of events since these older machines are not capable of running the latest software upgrades. Any costs, which will be incurred as the result of the acceleration of purchases due to Y2K considerations, are not material to the consolidated financial statements. The Company is in the process of developing business contingency plans to mitigate the risk of the potential of a noncompliant vendor or system and will continue to assess its exposure to possible Y2K problems or potential disruptions. Based upon all of the information it has developed to date, Management believes that no disruptions will occur in the Company's operations. However, the Company is subject to financial and other risks should the Company or a third party vendor or service provider be unable to resolve issues related to the Year 2000. Costs of addressing the Year 2000 issue have not been material to date and, based on information gathered to date from the Company and its vendors, are not currently expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Euro Conversion - --------------- On January 1, 1999, eleven of the fifteen member countries of the European Union (the "participating countries") - established fixed conversion rates between their existing sovereign currencies (the "legacy currencies") and the Euro. The participating countries adopted the Euro as their common legal currency on that date. As of January 1, 1999, a newly created European Central Bank was established to control monetary policy, including money supply and interest rates for the participating countries. The legacy currencies are scheduled to remain legal tender in the participating countries as denominations of the Euro between January 1, 1999 and January 1, 2002 (the "transition period"). During the transition period, public and private parties may pay for goods and services using either the Euro or the participating country's legacy currency on a "no compulsion, no prohibition" basis. The Company has initiated and is evaluating on an on-going basis the effects, if any, of the Euro conversion upon its business. Factors being considered include, but are not limited to: the possible impact of the Euro conversion on revenues, expenses and income from operations, the ability to adapt information technology to accommodate Euro-denominated transactions, the market risks with respect to financial instruments, the continuity of material contracts, and the potential tax consequences. The Company does not believe that the Euro-conversion will have a material operational or financial impact. Recent Accounting Pronouncements - -------------------------------- In June 1998, SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and hedging Activities", was issued to establish standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. This statement is effective for all quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The company does not believe that this statement will have a material impact on the financial statements.
