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 Company has complied with the required presentation in this quarterly 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 company performs its annual assessment in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year, and at that time will determine which approach to use. It is not expected that 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 years beginning after September 15, 2012, and early adoption is permitted. The Company performs its annual assessment in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year, and at that time will determine which approach to use. 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. In 2012, the Company reversed $154,000 of the secondary payment liability, 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 $1,263,000 was made to the former owners; theowners. The balance of the secondary liability recorded at November 30, 2012February 28, 2013 was $1,447,000$1,487,000 for the third and final year of the agreement,agreement; this amount is 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 from its parent company, GlycoMar Ltd. for approximately $813,000 in cash and a potential secondary payment of approximately $200,000 from its parent company, GlycoMar Ltd.$200,000. Formerly based in Oban, Scotland, VeroMara offers commercial testing for the shellfish and salmon aquaculture industries. VeroMara’s offerings include tests for shellfish toxins, general foodborne pathogens, including E. coli noroviruses, and salmon husbandry. VeroMara recorded revenues of approximately $800,000 (U.S.) in its most recently completed fiscal year. The business has beenwas relocated in 2011 to the Company’s location in Ayr, 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 purchase, 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.

On October 1, 2012, Neogen Corporation acquired the stock of Macleod Pharmaceuticals, of Fort Collins, Colorado. Macleod is the manufacturer of Uniprim, a leading veterinary antibiotic. The product is widely distributed throughout the U.S., and is also available in Canada through an exclusive distribution agreement. Consideration for the purchase was $9,918,000 in net cash and $100,000 accrued for secondary consideration. The preliminary purchase price allocation, based upon the fair value of these assets determined using the income approach, included accounts receivable of $353,000, inventory of $1,238,000, fixed assets of $300,000, current liabilities of $82,000, deferred tax liabilities of $748,000, secondary payment liabilities of $100,000, and goodwill and intangible assets of $8,957,000.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of the Company’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.

On an ongoing basis, management evaluates the estimates, including those related to receivable allowances, inventories, accruals, goodwill and other 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 were no significant changes to our contractual obligations or contingent liabilities and commitments disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report or Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012.

For the year to dateyear-to-date period ended November 30, 2012February 28, 2013 revenues were $100.5$151.5 million, an increase of $9.9$16.0 million, or 10.9%11.8%, compared to the prior year. Food Safety revenues increased by 18.1%15.5% and 15.2%15.3% for the comparative quarter and six-monthnine-month period ended November 30, 2012,February 28, 2013, respectively. Animal Safety revenues increased by 8.1%12.0% and 6.6%8.4%, respectively, for the same comparative periods. Overall organic sales growth was 9.4% and 8.8% for both the secondthird quarter and six-monththe nine-month period ended November 30, 2012, respectively.February 28, 2013. The remainder of growth consisted of revenues from the following acquisitions: Igenity acquisition, completed in May 2012, and the(May 2012), Macleod Pharmaceuticals acquisition, completed in October 2012.(October 2012), and Scidera Genomics (January 2013).

Neogen Europe sales increased by 31.1%18.3% for the secondthird quarter and 24.7%22.4% on a year-to-date basis.basis compared to the same period in the prior year. The revenue increase was primarily from increased sales of meat speciation kits due to a DON outbreakthe meat labeling scandal in Europe, in the current fiscal year, a recovery in sales to EU distributors, a DON outbreak in Europe earlier in the current year, and certain genomics revenues from a number of European customers. Neogen do Brasil continued to penetrate the Brazilian food safety marketits growth with sales up 32.2% and had growth of 51.4% and 52.5%44.6%, for the quarter and yearyear-to-date respectively, albeit on a small base. Their increases primarily came from sales of natural toxinsMycotoxin and dairy antibioticsdrug residue test kits.kits were the most significant growth drivers in these periods. Neogen Latinoamerica sales decreasedincreased by 5.7%41.8% for the third quarter but are down 2.1% year-to-date. For the comparative quarter, mycotoxin and 16.9% forallergen test kits were the year, primarilyprimary contributors to the revenue increase. The year-to-date decrease is due to some one-timeopportunistic sales that occurred in the first six months of the prior year that were not repeated in the current year.

Gross margins increased from 50.5%51.0% for the November 2011February 2012 quarter to 53.8%53.5% for the November 2012February 2013 quarter and increased from 50.4%50.6% to 53.6%53.5% on a year-to-date basis. The increase in margin percentage for each comparative period was largely the result of a shift in product mix towardtowards 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, small animal supplements, higher volume at GeneSeek, and the products acquired in the Macleod acquisition, which are higher margin products within that segment. Also, on a year-to-date basis, increased sales of rodenticides contributed to the improved gross margin. To a lesser extent, gross margins improved for each comparative period due to manufacturing efficiencies. Operating margins increased for the comparative quarter and six-monthnine-month periods from 18.1%16.8% to 20.7%18.9% and from 19.3%18.5% to 20.7%20.1%, respectively. The increases were due to the improved gross margins in both the quarter and year-to-date periods, offset slightlysomewhat by increased operating expenses.expenses relative to sales.

The increase was led by sales of aflatoxin test kits, readers, and accessories, due toresulting from an aflatoxin outbreak in the United States.States during the fall harvest season. Allergen test kit revenues continued to achieve solid growth with increases of 23.1% for the quarter and 18.9% for the year-to-date, as companies prepare for compliance with provisions of the Food Safety Modernization Act, which specifically addresses requirements for testing of food allergens. In the third quarter, the Allergens growth was led by increased demand for meat speciation kits primarily in Europe due to increased awareness of mislabeling of meat and fish products. Sales of DON testsmilk and gliadin allergen test kits also contributed to the increase. Drug Residues were also up significantly, due primarily to an outbreak15.1% in the European wheat crop. Combined, these products were up 76.4% in the secondthird quarter with the majority of the crops harvesteddue to order timing for the year. These increases were partially offset by an 18.5% decrease in Drug Residue sales in the quarter, mainly the result of lower sales of tests used to detect the presence of antibiotics in dairy animals caused by timing of orders from a large international distributor. For the six months, aflatoxin, DONdistributor and related equipmentincreased market penetration in Brazil; on a year-to-date basis, revenues were flat.

Also within this category, testsSales of Acumedia products to the traditional and international markets experienced 4.5% growth in the current quarter and were flat on a year-to-date basis. Tests for histamine contamination in harvested fish were up 29.0%21.0% and 13.1% for the second quarter,three and nine-month periods, respectively, due to increased testing; additionally,testing. Contributing to the year-to-date growth, customers affected by the aflatoxin outbreak significantly increased purchases of miscellaneous lab supplies necessary for processing samples. Bacteria and General Sanitation had increases of 0.9% and 1.5% for the quarter and year-to-date respectively. Soleris sales were down 5.9% for the quarter and 9.8% for the year. Soleris’ consumables products were up 3.8%samples in the second quarter and 9.5% on a year-to-date basis; however, the related equipment sales declined compared to the prior year, primarily due to sales in China a year ago which were not repeated this year.

Offsetting this shortfall of lower-margin sales was a 19.3% increase in rodenticide sales, which have a much higher margin. The Rodenticide revenue increase was due to several factors, including a marketing campaign during the year-to-date, indicative ofthird quarter, seasonal conditions, and a recovery in this line, which lagged in the prior year due to an inventory stockingwhich was negatively affected by customers in late FY-11 ahead ofEPA labeling changes.

PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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’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.
