NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
January 31, 1996
(Unaudited)
1. The consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 1996, the consolidated
statement of operations for six months ended January 31, 1996 ("1996 Period")
and 1995 ("1995 Period") and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the
six months ended January 31, 1996 and 1995 have been prepared by the Company
without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include
only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows at January 31, 1996 and for all
periods presented have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results
of operations for the six months ended January 31, 1996 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
2. On October 19, 1994 the Company executed a settlement agreement with
Johnson & Johnson, Inc. in the aggregate amount of $35.0 million pursuant to
which the Company received $15.0 million, of which $6.5 million relates to
amounts due under certain research and development agreements and which was
included in research contracts receivable at July 31, 1994, and a promissory
note requiring Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiary, Ortho Diagnostics, Inc., to
pay $5.0 million a year for each of the four successive anniversaries of said
date. These future payments are recorded at net present value discounted using
an interest rate of 5.25%. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, all of the
Company's grants, licenses and intellectual property have been returned to the
Company in totality.
3. In March 1993, the Company filed suit in the United States District Court
for the District of Delaware charging patent infringement and acts of unfair
competition against Calgene, Inc. and seeking a declaratory judgment of
invalidity concerning Calgene, Inc.'s plant antisense patent. On February 9,
1994 the Company filed a second suit in the United States District Court for the
District of Delaware charging Calgene with infringement of a second antisense
patent owned by the Company. Calgene has filed a counterclaim in the second
Delaware action seeking a declaration that a third patent belonging to the
Company is invalid. The two Delaware actions have been consolidated and were
tried to the Court in April 1995. In addition, the Company filed suit on March
22, 1994 in the United States District Court for the Western District of
Washington against Calgene and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center,
alleging that the defendants had conspired to issue a false and misleading press
release regarding a supposed "patent license" from Hutchinson to Calgene, and
conspired to damage the Company's antisense patents by improperly using
confidential information to challenge them in the Patent Office. The Complaint
further charges that Hutchinson is infringing and inducing Calgene to infringe
9
the Company's antisense patents. On February 2, 1996 the Delaware Court issued
an opinion ruling against Enzo and in favor of Calgene, finding certain Enzo
claims infringed, but the patent as a whole not infringed, and finding the
claims at issue invalid for lack of enablement. Calgene's patent was found
valid (non-obvious) over the prior art. On February 29, 1996, the Delaware
Court issued an Order withdrawing its February 2, 1996 Opinion. Enzo intends to
appeal from any adverse judgment. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be successful in any of the foregoing matters or that Calgene, Inc. and/or
Hutchinson will not be successful. However, even if the Company is not
successful management does not believe there will be a significant monetary
impact.
4. Effective December 1, 1985, the Company entered into an agreement with the
City of New York to lease, over a fifty-year term, a six-story building located
in New York City. During 1992 this lease was renegotiated. The Company has
recorded the fair market value of the real property in the amount of $3,000,000
as a capital lease obligation due in installments through 2036. Financing for
the renovation and equipping of such facility came principally from the
Company's own funds. The Company is carrying the capital leasehold interest at
its estimated fair market value.
5. In April, 1994, the Company signed a non-exclusive worldwide distribution
and supply agreement with Boehringer Mannheim Biochemicals. During fiscal 1995
similar agreements were signed with Amersham International and with Dako A/S. In
September 1995, a fourth agreement was concluded with VWR Scientific Products
(acquired from Baxter Healthcare). Under the terms of these agreements, the
distributor companies sells to the global medical research market, a broad range
of biochemical products and reagents manufactured and supplied by Enzo. The
agreements include products based on nonradioactive DNA probe technology and
include products that were developed and marketed by these companies prior to
the agreement, as well as products developed by Enzo, all of which are covered
by Enzo patents. The agreements extend for the life of the last patent to
expire for products involved.

Item 2- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash provided by operating activities was $4,514,000 for the six months
ended January 31, 1996, compared with $11,044,000 for the six months ended
January 31, 1995. This decrease was a result of a decrease in proceeds from the
J&J settlement offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities.
Net cash provided from financing activities was approximately $1,116,000
for the six months ended January 31, 1996 primarily as a result of $1,162,000
from proceeds of exercised stock options, as compared to net cash used from
financing activities of approximately $2,071,000 for the six months ended
January 31, 1995 which was primarily used for repayment of bank debt.
The Company's internal source of cash generated by operations in addition
to the proceeds from the litigation settlement was sufficient to meet the
Company's needs for investing and other financing activities. At January 31,
1996 the Company had working capital of approximately $32,446,000.
The Company has a $5,000,000 line of credit with a bank at an interest rate
of prime. As of January 31, 1996, the Company did not use the line of credit.
On October 19, 1994 the Company executed a settlement agreement with
Johnson & Johnson, Inc. pursuant to which the Company received $15.0 million and
a promissory note requiring Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiary, Ortho
Diagnostics, Inc., to pay $5.0 million a year for each of the four successive
anniversaries of said date. These future payments are recorded at net present
value discounted using an interest rate of 5.25%. Pursuant to the terms of the
settlement, all of the Company's grants, licenses and intellectual property have
been returned to the Company in totality.
Effective December 1, 1985, the Company entered into an agreement with the
City of New York to lease, over a fifty-year term, a six-story building located
in New York City. During 1992 this lease was renegotiated. The Company has
recorded the fair market value of the real property in the amount of $3,000,000
as a capital lease obligation due in installments through 2036. Financing for
the renovation and equipping of such facility came principally from the
Company's own funds. The Company has decided to carry the capital leasehold
interest at its estimated fair market value.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SIX MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1996 COMPARED WITH SIX MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31,
1995
Operating revenues for the six months ended January 31, 1996 ("1996
period") increased by $1,495,000 over operating revenues for the six months
ended January 31, 1995 ("1995 period"). This increase was due to an increase of
$1,992,000 of research product revenues offset by a $497,000 decrease in
revenues from the clinical reference laboratory as compared to the 1995 period.
Revenues at the laboratory were impacted by a reduced number of billing days due
to unusually bad weather, as well as a change in the test mix of services
provided. Revenues from the sale of research products increased as a result of
the Company's distribution agreements.
Cost of sales increased by approximately $161,000 primarily due to
increased revenues from research products related to the distribution
agreements.
Research and development expenses increased by $253,000 due to expanded
research and development and clinical programs.
Selling expenses decreased by $50,000 due to a decrease in marketing
programs and sales personnel for the clinical reference laboratory.
The increase in general and administrative expenses of $508,000 was
primarily due to increased legal expenses.
The provision for bad debts increased by $257,000 due to an adjustment in
reimbursement rates from insurance carriers for the clinical reference
laboratory.
Interest income increased by $455,000 as a result of the proceeds from
investment of the Company's cash equivalents.
The provision for taxes decreased approximately $2,360,000 primarily due to
a reduction of income resulting from the prior year litigation settlement.
THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1996 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31,
1995
Operating revenues for the three months ended January 31, 1996 ("1996
period") increased by $967,000 over revenues from operations for the three
months ended January 31, 1995 ("1995 period"). This increase was due to an
increase in research product sales of $1,576,000 offset by decreases of $609,000
in revenues from the clinical reference laboratory for the similar activity in
the 1995 period.
Cost of sales increased by $30,000 primarily as a result of increased
revenues by research product sales.
Research and development expenses increased by $128,000 due to expanded
research and development and clinical programs.
12
Selling expenses decreased by $55,000 as a result of a decrease in
personnel costs related to the clinical reference laboratory.
General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $671,000 as
a result of an increase of legal expenses.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1 - Legal Proceedings
In March 1993, the Company filed suit in the United States District Court for
the District of Delaware charging patent infringement and acts of unfair
competition against Calgene, Inc. and seeking a declaratory judgment of
invalidity concerning Calgene, Inc.'s plant antisense patent. On February 9,
1994 the Company filed a second suit in the United States District Court for the
District of Delaware charging Calgene with infringement of a second antisense
patent owned by the Company. Calgene has filed a counterclaim in the second
Delaware action seeking a declaration that a third patent belonging to the
Company is invalid. The two Delaware actions have been consolidated and were
tried to the Court in April 1995. In addition, the Company filed suit on March
22, 1994 in the United States District Court for the Western District of
Washington against Calgene and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center,
alleging that the defendants had conspired to issue a false and misleading press
release regarding a supposed "patent license" from Hutchinson to Calgene, and
conspired to damage the Company's antisense patents by improperly using
confidential information to challenge them in the Patent Office. The Complaint
further charges that Hutchinson is infringing and inducing Calgene to infringe
the Company's antisense patents. On February 2, 1996 the Delaware Court issued
an opinion ruling against Enzo and in favor of Calgene, finding certain Enzo
claims infringed, but the patent as a whole not infringed, and finding the
claims at issue invalid for lack of enablement. Calgene's patent was found
valid (non-obvious) over the prior art. On February 29, 1996, the Delaware
Court issued an Order withdrawing its February 2, 1996 Opinion. Enzo intends to
appeal from any adverse judgment. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be successful in any of the foregoing matters or that Calgene, Inc. and/or
Hutchinson will not be successful. However, even if the Company is not
successful management does not believe there will be a significant monetary
impact.
