Notes to Financial Statements
Principles of consolidation	The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Scientific Industries, Inc. (“Scientific”, a Delaware corporation), Altamira Instruments, Inc.(“Altamira”, a wholly owned subsidiary and Delaware corporation), Scientific Packaging Industries, Inc. (an inactive wholly owned subsidiary and New York corporation) and Scientific Bioprocessing, Inc., (“SBI”, a wholly owned subsidiary and Delaware corporation). All are collectively referred to as the “Company”. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
New Accounting Pronouncements	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers amending revenue recognition requirements for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. This update provides guidance on how revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services. This determination is made in five steps: (i) identify the contract with the customer: (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The update is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its financial condition and results of operations. In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could be Achieved After the Requisite Service Period. This update affects reporting entities that grant their employee’s targets that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The new standard requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite services period be treated as a performance condition. The new standard will be effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The Company expects the adoption will not have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
