NOTE C - ACQUISITIONS In August 1998, the Company purchased certain inventory and technology from BioPort Corporation of Lansing, Michigan. The purchase price consisted of a single cash payment of $600,000. The Company allocated $400,000 of the purchase price to finished goods and bulk toxoid inventories of Type B equine botulism vaccine ("Bot Tox-B"). The remainder of the purchase price was allocated to other assets and consisted primarily of Types A, B, and C botulism seed cultures, manufacturing protocols, quality control procedures and USDA license to manufacture Bot Tox-B. NOTE D - STOCK REPURCHASE In August, the Company announced that its board of directors had authorized the purchase of up to 250,000 shares of the Company's common stock. As of November 30, 1998, the Company had purchased 106,000 shares in negotiated and open market transactions for a total price, including commissions, of approximately $725,000. As of January 1, 1999 the Company had purchased 184,900 shares at a total price, including commissions, of approximately $1,282,000. Shares purchased under this buy-back program will be retired and used to satisfy future issuance of common stock upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants. NOTE E - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Effective June 1, 1998, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. Three Months Ended November 30, 1998 Compared to Three Months Ended November 30, 1997. Total sales for the quarter ended November 30, 1998 increased $1,294,000, or 28%, compared to the same quarter in 1997. Sales of products dedicated to animal safety increased $1,023,000, or 50%, and sales of food safety diagnostic products were up $211,000, or 9%. Miscellaneous other sales increased $60,000. The increase in sales of animal safety products was due to several factors. The acquisition of certain assets of Vetoquinol, U.S.A., which occurred in the prior fiscal year, contributed $353,000 in increased sales during the second quarter compared to the same quarter last year. Sales of products to the professional equine market increased $274,000 primarily as a result of greater international demand for Bot Tox-B, a vaccine to prevent Type B botulism in horses. Sales of specialty needles and syringes used to inject spices and marinades into meat and poultry were $499,000 higher than last year, an increase of more than 300%. Food safety sales were significantly higher in two areas. Sales of aflatoxin test kits increased 178,000, or 44%. Hot, dry growing conditions during the summer contributed to growth of molds that produce aflatoxin, a known carcinogen. Accordingly, testing for this harmful residue by food and animal feed producers increased. E. coli O157:H7 test kits sales also increased in the second quarter by $142,000 or 56% due to greater domestic and international demand from meat processors. Cost of goods sold increased significantly in the second quarter partially due to the increase in overall product sales. In addition, the significant increases in sales of Bot Tox-B and specialty needles and syringes contributed to the higher cost of goods sold since these product lines carry proportionately higher material costs that most other Company products. Sales and marketing expenses increased only $46,000 or 4% in the second quarter. The increase was primarily due to higher salaries, fringe and travel costs. The $118,463 increase in general and administrative expenses was the result of higher legal and professional fees compared to the same quarter last year. A more detailed discussion of legal expenses is included later in this Form 10-Q. Research and development expenses were up $63,260, or 18%, in the second quarter due principally to increased staffing levels. Management believes research and development is critical to the Company's future and continues to expand efforts in terms of ongoing research projects pertaining to food and animal safety products. Second quarter research and development expenses were 7% of total sales compared to the Company's annual budget of 8%. Other income increased by $56,000 in the second quarter. Interest income was $31,000 lower due exclusively to lower cash balances available to invest in marketable securities. However, the Company's share of royalties paid to an affiliated partnership was $85,000 higher in the second quarter than the prior year. Neogen's effective federal tax rate has been insignificant because the Company has had net operating loss carry forwards ("NOL's") available to offset taxable income. During the first quarter the Company utilized its remaining NOL's. As a result, the Company's effective federal tax rate increased significantly in the second quarter to 36.5% compared to 6.7% in the same quarter last year. The higher income taxes completely offset the Company's increase in pre-tax profit, resulting in the same earnings per share as the prior year. Six Months Ended November 30, 1998 Compared to Six Months Ended November 30, 1997. Total sales for the six months ended November 30, 1998 were $2,583,000, or 29%, higher than the same period in 1997. Animal safety product sales increased $1,788,000, or 47%, while sales of food safety products were up $685,000, or 15%. All other sales increased $110,000. The increase in animal safety sales is attributable to the following factors: sales pertaining to prior year acquisitions of certain assets of W.J. Bartus, Inc. and Vetoquinol, U.S.A. accounted for $966,000 of increased sales in 1998 compared to 1997; sales of the Company's vaccine to prevent Type B botulism in horses increased $284,000 compared to last year; and sales of specialty needles and syringes used to inject spices and marinades into meat and poultry were $562,000 higher. The increase in sales of food safety products was primarily due to increases in sales in two areas. Large sections of the southern United States suffered from hot, dry weather conditions during the summer months, which promoted mold growth in corn and other commodity crops. Sales of test kits to detect aflatoxin, a harmful residue from molds that proliferate in hot, dry weather conditions, increased $479,000, or 63%, during the first six months. Although testing for aflatoxin will likely continue to run higher than the prior year, management does not believe testing will continue at the same levels as experienced in the first two quarters. Sales of diagnostic tests to detect microorganisms such as E. coli O157:H7 and salmonella, also increased in the first six months with sales up $397,000 compared to last year. The sales increases in these two areas were partially offset by a decline of approximately $247,000, or 15%, in sales of diagnostic test kits to detect vomitoxin. Sales of aflatoxin, vomitoxin and other natural toxin test kits are affected by the uncertainties of weather which impacts growing conditions differently each year. Cost of goods sold increased $1,085,000 compared to the same period last year as a direct result of the overall increase in product sales. Expressed as a percent of sales, cost of goods sold was 41% in 1998, the same percentage as 1997. Sales and marketing expenses increased $332,000, or 14%, in the first six months compared to last year. Virtually all sales and marketing expense categories were higher than the prior year including salaries, fringe, travel, royalties, commissions, trade shows and technical service. The Company is expanding its sales activities both domestically and internationally to gain wider distribution of its products dedicated to food and animal safety. The $412,000 increase in general and administrative expense is due to two factors. Increases in sales volume and overall business activity resulted in a need for additional administrative staff. The increase in staff, along with higher accruals for bonuses due to improved operating performance, resulted in $157,000 of higher personnel related expense in the first six months. In addition, legal and professional fees increased $268,000 compared to the same period last year. Management believes that the Company is not involved in any material adverse legal proceedings. In November, Neogen announced that it had won a lawsuit against Arthur J. and Arthur M. Trickey involving company trademarks. Although damages awarded to Neogen were minor, final resolution puts a definitive end to legal expenses for this lawsuit which amounted to approximately $130,000 during the first six months of the current fiscal year. Neogen is a party in other lawsuits as discussed in Item 3, Legal Proceedings, in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended May 31, 1998. Management intends to vigorously pursue this litigation and cannot predict the outcome of these lawsuits. Furthermore, the Company has no way to predict the level of expenses that may be incurred in fiscal year 1999 in pursuing this litigation. As a result of increased expenses for additional research staff compared to the prior year, research expenses were up $167,000 during the first six months. Other income declined slightly for the six months ended November 30, 1998 compared to last year. Lower interest income was mostly offset by the Company's higher share of royalties paid to an affiliated partnership. Income taxes for the six-month period ended November 30, 1998 were substantially higher than the same period last year. The Company fully utilized its remaining NOL's during its first quarter resulting in a significant increase in effective tax rate for the first six months compared to last year. The company expects its effective tax rate to run approximately of 36% going forward. Financial Condition and Liquidity At November 30, 1998, the Company had $10,268,000 in cash and marketable securities, working capital of $17,776,000 and stockholders' equity of $24,453,000. In addition, the Company has bank lines of credit totaling $10,000,000 with nothing borrowed against these lines as of November 30, 1998. Cash and marketable securities decreased $321,000 during the first six months. The aggregate of the acquisition of certain assets of BioPort Corporation for $600,000, the use of $725,000 for the purchase of 106,000 shares of the Company's common stock (see Notes C and D of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements) and $481,000 expended for property, equipment and other assets exceeded cash provided from operations. Accounts receivable were $378,000 higher at November 30, 1998 than at May 31 due primarily to significant shipments of food and animal safety products during the last 15 days of the second quarter. Inventories increased $781,000 at November 30, 1998 compared to May 31. Of this amount, $400,000 was due to inventories purchased from BioPort Corporation. The remaining increase was due to higher production levels of veterinary instruments, along with an increase in professional equine and food safety finished good products in anticipation of future increases in sales volume. The increase in other non-current assets at November 30, 1998 compared to May 31, 1998 was due to the acquisition of certain assets of BioPort Corporation. Accounts payable increased $190,000 between May 31 and November 30 due primarily to the timing of month-end cutoffs and scheduled payment dates for trade payables and because of greater payables associated with higher levels of inventory. Accrued expenses were $203,000 higher at November 30 as a result of increases in accruals for a number of areas including bonuses, commissions, royalties and payroll taxes. The Company did not borrow any additional funds during the first six months and made scheduled payments totaling $24,000 on long-term debt. At November 30, 1998, the Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures. Inflation and changing prices are not expected to have a material effect on the Company's operations. Neogen has been profitable for 22 of its last 23 quarters and has generated positive cash flows from operations during this period. Management believes that the Company's existing cash and marketable securities at November 30, 1998, along with its available bank lines of credit and cash expected to be generated from future operations, will be sufficient to fund activities for the foreseeable future. However, existing cash and marketable securities may not be sufficient to meet the Company's cash requirements to commercialize products currently under development or its plans to acquire additional technology and products that fit within the Company's mission statement. Accordingly, the Company may be required to issue equity securities or enter into other financing arrangements for a portion of the Company's future capital needs. Year 2000 The Company believes that its financial and manufacturing systems are year 2000 compliant with the exception of the financial software used at its Ideal Instruments subsidiary. The Company has purchased a software tool and scheduled an outside programmer to implement software changes by February 1, 1999 at the Ideal Instruments subsidiary to ensure year 2000 compliance. The Company does not expect implementation of these changes to have a material impact on its results of operation. The Company's operations with respect to the year 2000 may also be affected by other entities with whom it transacts business. The Company is currently unable to determine the potential impact, if any, that could result from such entities' failure to adequately address this issue. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6.
