6. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standards update titledPresentation of Comprehensive Income. This update eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. An entity can elect to present items of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate consecutive statements. Each component of net income and each component of other comprehensive income, together with totals for comprehensive income and its two parts, net income and other comprehensive income, must be displayed under either alternative. The new disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.Company has complied with the required presentation in this first quarter report; the adoption of the required presentation did not affect the results of the Company’s operations, only the presentation of such results.

In September 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standards update titledIntangibles — Goodwill and Other: Testing Goodwill for Impairment. This update gives the option of performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount and, in some cases, skip the two-step impairment test. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and early adoption is permitted.

The above ASU’s issued bycompany performs its qualitative assessment in the FASB, upon adoption, arefourth quarter of its fiscal year, and at that time will determine which approach to use. It is not expected by management tothat the adoption of this update will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2012, the FASB issued an accounting standard update titledIntangibles – Goodwill and Other: Testing Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. This update gives the option of performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the intangible amount is less than its carrying amount and, in some cases, skip the quantitative impairment test. This standard is effective for fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2012, and early adoption is permitted. It is not expected that the adoption of this update will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

7. BUSINESS AND PRODUCT LINE ACQUISITIONS

On April 1, 2010, Neogen Corporation acquired GeneSeek, Inc. of Lincoln, Nebraska, a leading commercial agricultural genetic laboratory. GeneSeek’s technology employs high-resolution DNA genotyping for identity and trait analysis in a variety of important animal and agricultural plant species. Consideration for the purchase was $14,050,000 in cash and secondary payment obligations of up to $7,000,000. The allocation of the purchase price included accounts receivable of $1,923,000, inventory of $1,512,000, fixed assets of $847,000, current liabilities of $905,000, deferred tax liabilities of $2,530,000, secondary payment liabilities of $3,583,000, and the remainder to goodwill (not deductible for tax purposes) and other intangible assets (with estimated lives of 5-20 years). The allocation was generally based on the fair value of these assets determined using the income approach. These fair value measurements were based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 fair value measurements. The secondary payment was based upon future operating results of the GeneSeek business through 2013, and payable annually over a three year period, measured at fair value, and is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement. The Company recorded a charge within other income (expense) of approximately $787,000 for the year ended May 31, 2011, representing the increase from its original estimate in fair value of the secondary payment liability. As of May 31, 2011, the balance of the secondary payment liability recorded was approximately $4,370,000. A payment of $1,856,000 was made in June, 2011 to the former owners of GeneSeek,Geneseek, comprised of $1,537,000 for the first year contingent payment and an additional $319,000 for inventory purchased post acquisition and settlement of other liabilities. During the three and nine months ended February 29,In 2012, and February 28, 2011 the Company recorded approximately $180,000 and $130,000 and ($218,000) and ($618,000), respectively, within other income (expense), representing the change in fair market valuereversed $154,000 of the secondary payment liability. Asliability, based on a lower calculated second year payout than had been estimated at May 31, 2011 due to lower 2012 earnings. In May 2012, the second year payment of February 29, 2012$1,263,000 was made to the former owners; the balance of the secondary payment liability recorded at August 31, 2012 was approximately $2,653,000.$1,408,000 for the third and final year of the agreement, expected to be paid in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013. The acquisition has been integrated into the Animal Safety segment.

On June 21, 2011, Neogen Corporation acquired the assets of VeroMara seafood testing laboratory for approximately $813,000 in cash and a potential secondary payment of approximately $200,000 from its parent company, GlycoMar Ltd. The potential secondary payment wasFormerly based on VeroMara being awarded a contract in FY 12, which did not occur.Oban, Scotland, VeroMara offers commercial testing services tofor the shellfish and salmon aquaculture industries. VeroMara’s servicesofferings include testingtests for shellfish toxins, general foodborne pathogens, includingE. coli, noroviruses, and salmon husbandry. VeroMara recorded revenues of approximately $800,000 (U.S.) in its most recently completed fiscal year. The purchase accounting for this transaction will be completedbusiness has been relocated to the Company’s location in fiscal year 2012. The acquisition is expected to provide a strong synergistic fitAyr, Scotland, which reports within the Food Safety segment.

On May 1, 2012, the Company purchased the assets of the Igenity animal genomics business from Merial Limited. Consideration for the Company’s Foodpurchase, which was determined through arm’s length negotiations, was $3,200,000 in cash and $600,000 accrued for secondary consideration. The preliminary purchase price allocation included net current assets of $335,000, fixed assets of $340,000 and intangible assets of $3,125,000. The allocation was generally based on the fair value of these assets determined using the income approach. These fair value measurements were based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 fair value measurements. In the past, GeneSeek conducted the genetic testing of samples for Igenity, and Igenity used the information with its extensive bioinformatics system to identify the animal’s positive or negative traits. The Igenity business has been moved to GeneSeek’s operations in Lincoln, Nebraska, and operates as part of the GeneSeek subsidiary, within the Animal Safety segment.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of the Company'sCompany’s financial condition and results of operations are based on the consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires that management make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates the estimates, including those related to receivable allowances, inventories, accruals and intangible assets. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011.2012.

Results of Operations

Executive Overview

Neogen Corporation revenues in the first quarter of FY-13 were $49.7 million, an increase of $4.0 million, or 8.8%, compared to $45.7 million in the first quarter of FY-12. Revenues for the Food Safety segment increased by 6.3% in12.5% and Animal Safety segment revenues increased by 5.0%, each compared with the thirdfirst quarter to $44.9 million and by 5.0% to $135.5 million for the nine-month period ended February 29, 2012, compared toof the prior year. On an organic basis, overall revenues increased by 8.1%, with the remainder of the increase due to the Igenity acquisition, completed in May 2012. Sales to international markets were 41.7% of total revenues, compared to 41.4% in last year’s first quarter. Gross margins increased from 50.3% in FY-12 to 53.3% in FY-13, largely the result of a shift in product mix toward diagnostic products in the Food Safety segment, which have higher margins. Additionally, margins improved within the Animal Safety segment due to increased sales of rodenticides and small animal supplements, which are higher margin products within that segment. Operating margins increased to 20.8% in the first quarter, from 20.5% in the prior year, primarily the result of the improved gross margins. Operating expenses increased 18.6%, reflecting the impact of investments made in personnel, primarily in sales and marketing related functions in the 2012 fiscal year, higher legal and professional fees, and increased project costs within research and development.

During the first quarter of FY-13, Food Safety revenues increased by 6.2%12.5% in comparison with FY-12. Natural Toxins, Allergens and 4.7% in the quarter and the nine-month period ended February 29, 2012, respectively. Animal SafetyDrug Residues revenues increased by 6.4% and 5.2% in the quarter and in the nine-month period ended February 29, 2012, respectively. Exclusive of the revenues from the VeroMara acquisition, which was made in June 2011, Food Safety revenue increases were 5.7% and 4.2% in the third quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively. Gross margins increased from 48.7% in the February 2011 quarter to 51.0% in the February 2012 quarter and decreased from 51.0% to 50.6% on a year-to-date basis. The change in margin percentage for the quarter was the result of a favorable shift in product mix and manufacturing efficiencies resulting from the increased product volume. Operating margins decreased in the comparative quarter and nine-month periods from 19.1% to 16.8% and from 21.1% to 18.5%14.9%, respectively. The decreases were primarily the result of investments in sales and customer support personnel and infrastructure, part of a long-term strategy that management believes should result in revenue gains and efficiencies in the future. International revenues were 40.7% of total revenues for the quarter and 40.7% for the nine month period ended February 29, 2012.

Inflation and changing prices are not expected to have a material effect on operations, as management believes it has and will be successful in offsetting increased input costs with price increases.

Management believes that the Company’s existing cash and marketable securities balances at February 29,August 31, 2012, along with available borrowings under its credit facility and cash expected to be generated from future operations, will be sufficient to fund activities for the foreseeable future. However, existing cash and borrowing capacity may not be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements to commercialize products currently under development or its plans to acquire other organizations, technologies or products that fit within the Company’s mission statement. Accordingly, the Company may choose to issue equity securities or enter into other financing arrangements for a portion of its future financing needs. The Company has never paid a cash dividend and currently has no plans to do so.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company has interest rate and foreign exchange rate risk exposure and no long-term fixed rate investments or borrowings. Primary interest rate risk is due to potential fluctuations of exposure to interest rates for variable rate borrowings.

Foreign exchange risk exposure arises because the Company markets and sells its products throughout the world. The Company also could be affected by weak economic conditions in foreign markets that could reduce demand for its products. Additionally, revenues in certain foreign countries as well as certain expenses related to those revenues are transacted in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. The Company'sCompany’s operating results are primarily exposed to changes in exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar, the British Pound Sterling and the Euro. When the U.S. Dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the dollar value of revenues denominated in foreign currencies increases. When the U.S. Dollar strengthens, the opposite situation occurs. Additionally, previously recognized revenues in the course of collection can be affected positively or negatively by changes in exchange rates. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to help manage the economic impact of fluctuations in certain currency exchange rates. These contracts are adjusted to fair value through earnings.

Neogen has assets, liabilities and operations outside of the United States, which are located in Scotland, Brazil and Mexico where the functional currency is the British Pound Sterling, Brazilian Real and Mexican Peso, respectively. The Company’s investments in foreign subsidiaries are considered to be long-term.
