6. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standards update titledPresentation of Comprehensive Income. Income. This update eliminateseliminated 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 withadopted the required presentationupdate in this quarterly report;the first quarter of its fiscal 2013; the adoption affected the presentation of the required presentationits financial statements, but did not affecthave an impact on the results of the Company’s operations, only the presentation of such results.operations.

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 willdid not 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, andThe 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 willdid not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB further amended ASC220, “Comprehensive Income,” with ASU 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”, which was designed to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income by requiring an entity to present the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) on the respective lines of net income. The only item included in AOCI for Neogen Corporation is related to foreign currency translation. As such, the amended accounting guidance did not have an impact for the Company, and therefore has not been disclosed in the FY2014 first quarter Form 10-Q.

7. BUSINESS AND PRODUCT LINE ACQUISITIONS

On April 1, 2010, Neogen Corporation acquired GeneSeek, Inc.The Consolidated Statements of Lincoln, Nebraska, a leading commercial agricultural genetic laboratory. GeneSeek’s technology employs high-resolution DNA genotypingIncome reflect the results of operations for identity and trait analysis in a varietybusiness acquisitions since the respective dates of important animal and agricultural plant species. Considerationpurchase. All are accounted for using 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, 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. The balance of the secondary liability recorded at February 28, 2013 was $1,487,000 for the third and final year of the 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. 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 was 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.method.

On October 1, 2012, Neogen Corporation acquired the stock of Macleod Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 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.

On January 2, 2013, Neogen Corporation acquired the assets of Scidera Genomics, LLC, an animal genomics business based in Davis, California. The company, formerly operated as MetaMorphix, Inc., or MMI Genomics, performs parentage testing and trait analysis primarily for the cattle and canine industries. Consideration for the purchase was $3,400,000 in cash. The preliminary purchase price allocation included current assets of $35,000, fixed assets of $246,000, and goodwill and intangible assets of $3,119,000.$1,570,000 and the remainder to goodwill. These values are Level 3 fair value measurements. This business has been relocated to the Geneseek facility in Lincoln, Nebraska, and reports within the Animal Safety segment.

On July 1, 2013, Neogen Corporation acquired the assets of SyrVet, Inc., a veterinary business based in Waukee, Iowa. SyrVet offered a product line similar to Neogen’s Ideal Instruments line of veterinary instruments with 30% of their sales coming from international markets, primarily in Mexico and Latin America. Consideration for the purchase was $10,012,000 in cash and up to $1,500,000 of a secondary payment liability, due at the end of the first year, based on an excess net sales formula. The Company has estimated the secondary payment liability to be $700,000, based on forecasted sales. The preliminary purchase price allocation included accounts receivable of $747,000, net inventory of $2,195,000, fixed assets of $556,000, current liabilities of $226,000, secondary payment liabilities of $700,000, non-amortizable trademarks of $347,000, intangible assets of $3,010,000 (with an estimated life of 15 years) and the remainder to goodwill (deductible for tax purposes). These values are Level 3 fair value measurements. This business is currently being relocated to Lexington, Kentucky to be integrated with the Company’s current operation there, reporting within the Animal Safety segment.

Goodwill recognized in the acquisitions discussed above relates primarily to enhancing the Company’s strategic platform for the expansion of available product offerings.

Executive Overview

Neogen Corporation revenues for the thirdfirst quarter ended February 28,August 31, 2013 were $51.1$58.5 million, an increase of $6.1$8.8 million, or 13.7%17.7%, compared to the same period in the prior year. ForFood Safety revenues increased by 14.5% and Animal Safety revenues increased by 21.3%. Overall, organic sales growth for the year-to-datequarter was 12.5%, with the remainder of the growth coming from the following acquisitions: Macleod Pharmaceuticals (October 2012), Scidera Genomics (January 2013) and Syrvet (July 2013).

International sales were 42.3% of total sales in the first quarter, compared to 41.7% of total sales in the prior year. Neogen Europe sales increased 53.7% compared to the same period ended February 28, 2013last year, primarily from increased sales of meat speciation kits, the result of mislabeled meat products, distributor stocking for a potential aflatoxin issue in Eastern Europe and genomics revenues from a number of European customers. Neogen Latinoamerica and Neogen do Brasil continued to expand their market presence and recorded revenue gains of 33.5% and 54.4%, respectively. Neogen Latinoamerica’s increases were $151.5broad-based across all categories while Neogen do Brasil’s growth was primarily driven by sales of drug residue tests for dairy antibiotics and genomics services.

Service revenue was $7.2 million, an increase of $16.0 million, or 11.8%,46.5% compared to the prior year. The increase was due to customer acceptance of new custom chips developed primarily for the beef and dairy cattle and pork industries and increased sales to international customers, particularly in Europe and Brazil.

Gross margins were 51.9% for the first quarter, compared to 53.3% for the August 2012 quarter. The decrease in margin percentage was primarily the result of a higher percentage of Animal Safety sales in the first quarter, which have lower margins than Food Safety sales. Also, within each segment, material margins declined slightly due to product mix changes. Expressed as a percentage of revenues, operating margins increased by 15.5%from 20.8% in the prior year to 21.2% in the quarter ended August 31, 2013, as operating expenses overall went up less than the increase in revenues. Recent acquisitions in the Animal Safety segment have been complementary to existing product lines and 15.3%have been integrated with minimal incremental costs. General and administrative costs increased $1.1 million for the comparative quarter, primarily due to amortization of certain intangible assets from recent acquisitions and nine-monthhigher compensation expenses. Other expense of $552,000 in the first quarter was largely the result of currency losses recorded at the foreign subsidiaries as the Brazilian Real and Mexican Peso devalued against the U.S. dollar during the quarter.

Revenues

Three months ended August 31, 2013 and 2012:

The Company’s Food Safety segment revenues were $29,998,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, 14.5% higher than the same period in the prior year, with increases in each major product category. Natural Toxins, Allergens and Drug Residues increased 10.7% in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the prior year. Increases in this category were led by meat speciation test sales in Europe and continuing strong growth of allergen test kits, especially gliadin, based on market demand. Aflatoxin test kits and readers were up, primarily in Eastern Europe, due to increased testing resulting from last year’s contaminated crop, as well as stockpiling for anticipated outbreaks due to current crop concerns. Within this category, sales of test kits to detect drug residues in milk were down 3%, due primarily to order timing from a large international distributor.

Bacterial and General Sanitation increased 10% for the quarter, compared to the prior year. Accupoint Samplers had a strong quarter, particularly in the UK, due to increased sales and marketing focus. Sales of filters and ampoule media products were 39.1% higher in the quarter, the result of increased penetration in the beverage market.

The Dehydrated Culture Media and Other category increased 27.2% in the quarter ended February 28,August 31, 2013 respectively.compared to the same period in the prior year. Contributions from genomics service revenues to European customers, resulting from increased sales staffing and the introduction of new service offerings, led the growth in this category. Dehydrated culture media increased 16.1% in the first quarter, due primarily to incremental business at a number of larger customers.

The Company’s Animal Safety segment revenues increased by 12.0% and 8.4%were $28,550,000, an increase of $5,016,000, or 21.3%, respectively, forin the same comparative periods. Overall organic sales growth was 8.8% for both the third quarter and the nine-month period ended February 28, 2013. The remainder of growth consisted of revenues from the following acquisitions: Igenity (May 2012), Macleod Pharmaceuticals (October 2012), and Scidera Genomics (January 2013).

Neogen Europe sales increased by 18.3% for the third quarter and 22.4% on a year-to-date basisAugust 31, 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year. The revenue increase was primarily fromsegment achieved increases in all major product categories. Life Sciences increased sales of meat speciation kits due to the meat labeling scandal in Europe, 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 its growth with sales up 32.2% and 44.6%, for the quarter and year-to-date respectively, albeit on a small base. Mycotoxin and drug residue test kits were the most significant growth drivers in these periods. Neogen Latinoamerica sales increased by 41.8% for the third quarter but are down 2.1% year-to-date. For the comparative quarter, mycotoxin and allergen test kits were the primary contributors to the revenue increase. The year-to-date decrease is due to opportunistic sales that occurred2.2% in the first six monthsquarter, led by strong sales of forensic kits. This was partially offset by a decrease in racing kits, as this industry continues to contract; additionally, state testing labs serving the prior year that were not repeatedracing industry continue to consolidate.

Veterinary Instruments and Disposables increased 35.1% in the current year.

Gross margins increased from 51.0%period. This category experienced strong growth, particularly in international sales, due in part to the acquisition of Syrvet, a distributor of veterinary products, at the beginning of July. Additionally, the Company entered into a packaging arrangement for the February 2012 quarter to 53.5% for the February 2013 quarterdisposable gloves with a large distributor. The Animal Care and increased from 50.6% to 53.5% on a year-to-date basis. TheOther category recorded an increase in margin percentage for each comparative period was largely the result of a shift towards diagnostic products32.9% in the Food Safety segment, which have higher margins. Additionally, margins improved within the Animal Safety segment due to increased salesfirst quarter of 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 nine-month periods from 16.8% to 18.9% and 18.5% to 20.1%, respectively. The increases were due to the improved gross margins in both the quarter and year-to-date periods, offset somewhat by increased operating expenses relative to sales.

Revenues

Three and nine months ended February 28/29, 2013 and 2012:

Food Safety revenues increased by 15.5% for the quarter ended February 28, 2013 and 15.3% on a year-to-date basisfiscal 2014 compared to the prior year. Sales of Natural Toxins, Allergens & Drug Residues products increased 19.9% forWithin this category, the third quarter and 18.7% for the year-to-date, respectively. The increase was led byCompany benefited from sales of aflatoxin test kits, readers,the veterinary antibiotic, Uniprim, from the Macleod Pharmaceuticals acquisition in October 2012 and accessories,incremental products from the Syrvet acquisition. This category also recorded increased sales of antibiotics resulting from an outbreakinternational outbreaks of disease in the United States during the fall harvest season. Allergen test kit revenues continued to achieve solid growth with increasesswine industry and strong sales 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 Europea wound care product, due to increased awareness of mislabeling of meat and fish products. Sales of milk and gliadin allergen test kits also contributed to the increase. Drug Residues were up 15.1%a supply disruption in the third quarter due to order timing for a large international distributor and increased market penetration in Brazil; on a year-to-date basis, revenues were flat.market.

BacteriaRodenticides and General Sanitation sales were up 10.7% and 4.5% for the three and nine-month periods ended February 28, 2013, respectively. Soleris revenues were up 13.6%Disinfectants increased 5.5% in the thirdfirst quarter due to increased equipment placements and related consumables sales compared to the prior year. FiltersLeading this category were sales of cleaners and ampoule mediadisinfectants, particularly to international customers, resulting from outbreaks of disease, such as avian influenza. Offsetting this was a decrease in rodenticides, primarily due to lower vole infestations.

DNA Testing increased by 27.9% compared to the first quarter a year ago. Increases were primarily from new business generated by the development of new genomic service offerings, customized primarily for the beef, dairy and pork markets. To a lesser extent, the Scidera acquisition also contributed to the growth in this category for both the quarter and year-to-date periods due to increased penetration in the beverage market segment. The Company’s new ANSR pathogen detection system continued to gain traction in the third quarter, assisted by the launch of a focused marketing program for this product line.

Dehydrated Culture Media and Other Sales increased 12.0% for the third quarter and 20.7% on a year-to-date basis compared to the prior year, primarily due to the contributions from certain genomics revenues, which are recorded in the Other category, to a number of European customers. Sales 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 21.0% and 13.1% for the three and nine-month periods, respectively, due to increased 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 in the first nine months of the year.

Overall Animal Safety revenues increased by 12.0% in the third quarter and 8.4% for the year-to-date period ended February 28, 2013. Life Science and Other sales declined 6.2% for the quarter, primarily due to lower ractopamine kit sales into China and a one-time equipment sale in the prior year. On a year-to-date basis, Life Science and Other sales were down 8.2%. In addition to the previously mentioned items, drug detection kit sales to the racing market declined 23.9% for the year-to-date period due to a number of state lab closures during the year and lower testing levels. These declines were partially offset by higher sales to the forensics market, which are up 6.0%. Vaccine sales increased 11.1% for the quarter ended February 28, 2013 mainly due to order timing from a large international distributor; for the year-to-date period, revenues are 5.0% lower than the prior year.

Rodenticide and Disinfectant revenues decreased 2.9% for the third quarter ended February 28, 2013 compared to the prior year. Cleaners and disinfectants distributed by Neogen decreased 28.9% for the quarter, due to increased competition from lower priced generics, timing of orders to international customers, and weak demand due primarily to lack of disease outbreaks. 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 third quarter, seasonal conditions, and a prior year which was negatively affected by EPA labeling changes. On a year-to-date basis, overall Rodenticide and Disinfectant revenues are up 7.1%, driven by strong rodenticide sales.

Veterinary Instruments and Other revenues increased 22.5% in the third quarter of FY-13 compared to FY-12. Within this category, the Company benefitted from sales of the newly-acquired veterinary antibiotic, Uniprim, and a 153.6% increase in the small animal supplements line due to new business captured on canine thyroid replacement products. Offsetting gains in this category was a 42.0% decrease in hoof and leg care sales, due to lower animal counts, difficult financial conditions in the dairy industry and timing of large orders. On a year-to-date basis, Veterinary Instruments and Other product sales increased 13.0% compared to the prior year. This increase was led by sales of Uniprim and increases in the small animal supplements line. These gains were partially offset by lower sales of vitamin injectable products; sales in FY-12 were unusually high due to a supplier shutdown in FY-11, resulting in significant backorder conditions, which were filled in early FY-12. Also offsetting the gains was the loss of the needle and syringe business of a large customer in the second quarter of FY-12.

Revenues at GeneSeek (DNA Testing) increased 19.8% for the third quarter of FY-13 compared to the prior year. The Company gained new business resulting from the Igenity and Scidera acquisitions and had strong market acceptance of new products for cattle testing. For the year-to-date, GeneSeek sales were 10.5% higher than the prior year, due to the acquisitions and newly released products, partially offset by lower average selling prices, due to a customer shift towards products with lower genomic content.

Gross margins increased from 51.0% in the third quarter of FY-12 to 53.5% in the third quarter of FY-13, and for the year-to-date, from 50.6% in FY-12 to 53.5% in FY-13. Gross margins increased in the Animal Safety segment due to a shift in product mix resulting from higher sales of small animal supplements, rodenticides, and the new Uniprim product line acquired from Macleod. Additionally, GeneSeek has benefitted from higher margins due to the Igenity acquisition. On a year-to-date basis, the Company benefitted from the increases in gross margins from the Animal Safety revenues as well as having a greater proportion of Food Safety revenues, which have higher gross margins, to overall sales.

Operating margins increased to 18.9% for the third quarter compared to 16.8% for the same period in the prior year, primarily the result of the improved gross margins and partially offset by higher operating expenses. Overall operating expenses in the third quarter increased by 15.0%, primarily reflecting investments made in sales and marketing personnel and programs, begun in FY-12 and continuing in FY-13. The Company also experienced increases in shipping charges and royalties, due to increased sales, higher stock option expenses and a 12.9% increase in research and development costs. For the year-to-date, operating margins increased to 20.1% from 18.5%, the result of improved gross margins, partially offset by increased operating expenses, which were up 16.5%, primarily due to an 18.0% increase in sales and marketing costs. General and administrative expenses rose 12.9%, due to higher levels of stock option expenses, legal fees, systems depreciation and amortization of patents. Research and development expenses rose by 18.6% for the year-to-date, reflecting increased levels of validation and approvals required to support the new products launched during the year.growth.

The Company also spent $6,802,000$2,041,000 for property, equipment and other non-current assets in the first ninethree months of 2013. Included in that number is the December 2012 purchase of Oswald Hall, a 36,000 square foot building in Ayr, Scotland, for approximately $1,500,000.

Each of these items increased, on a percentage basis, by less than the rate of growth in revenues.

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

Management believes that the Company’s existing cash and marketable securities balances at February 28,August 31, 2013, 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.

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’sCompany's operating results are primarily exposed to changes in exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar, the British Pound Sterling, the Euro, the Brazilian Real and the Euro.Mexican Peso. 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.
