NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
January 31, 1997
(Unaudited)
1. The consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 1997, the consolidated
statement of operations for six months ended January 31, 1997 ("1997 Period")
and 1996 ("1996 Period") and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the
six months ended January 31, 1997 and 1996 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, 1997 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 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The
results of operations for the six months ended January 31, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that maybe expected for the full year.
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for
the impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of". This standard is effective for the Company's financial statements beginning
in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. SFAS No. 121 establishes the accounting for
the impairment of long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles and the
excess of cost over net assets acquired, related to those assets to be held and
used in operations, whereby impairment losses are required to be recorded when
indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated
to be generated by those assets are less than the assets carrying amount. SFAS
No. 121 also addresses the accounting for long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles that are expected to be disposed of. In the opinion of
the Company's management, the adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not have a material
effect on the consolidation results of operations or financial condition of the
Company.
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, 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 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 were consolidated and were
tried to the Court in April 1995. Following trial, the Court issued a decision
that was adverse to Enzo but subsequently withdrew that decision. Both sides
have submitted additional materials and motions. The Court has not issued any
further decision or ruled on the motions. The Company intends to appeal from any
adverse judgment. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful
in this matter or that Calgene will not be successful. However, even if the
Company is not successful, management does not believe there will be a
significant monetary impact.
4. On 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. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company negotiated a
settlement with the City of New York to relieve the Company from any further
obligations related to the lease and to return the building to the City and the
Company agreed to pay the City $2,950,000 in full settlement of all of the
City's claims for unpaid taxes and rent. The Company issued to the City 213,623

(Unaudited)
shares of the Company's common stock in August 1996 in consideration of the
settlement amount. As a result of this settlement with the City, the Company
incurred a charge against earnings in the amount of approximately $7.6 million
in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996.
Item 2-Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company at January 31, 1997, had cash and cash equivalents of $23,209,000,
an increase of $5,416,000 from July 31, 1996. The Company had working capital of
$41,237,000 at January 31, 1997 compared to $29,451,000 at July 31, 1996.
The Company's income before taxes for the 6 month period ended January 31, 1997
was $338,000 which includes depreciation and amortization aggregating
approximately $918,000. The Company's positive cash flow from operations was
sufficient to meet its current cash needs for the research and development
programs and other investing activities.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the 6 month period ended
January 31, 1997 was approximately $5,589,000 and includes $5.0 million of cash
received in connection with the litigation settlement with Johnson & Johnson,
Inc. as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $4,514,000 for
the 1996 period which also includes $5.0 million of cash received in connection
with the litigation settlement with Johnson & Johnson, Inc. The increase in net
cash provided by operating activities from the 1996 period to the 1997 period
was primarily due to the Company's decrease in net income from January 31, 1997,
an increase provision for uncollectable
11
accounts receivable of $1,212,000 offset by the decrease in accounts
receivable, and the decrease in income taxes payable.
Net cash used in investing activities increased by $119,000 from the 1996
period primarily as a result of an increase in capital expenditures.
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $841,000 from the 1996
period primarily as a result of the decrease in proceeds from the exercise of
stock options.
Results of Operations
Six months ended January 31, 1997 compared with six months ended January 31,
1996
Revenues from operations for the period ended January 31,1997 decreased by
$830,000 over revenues from operations for the period ended January 31,1996.
This decrease was due to a decrease of $130,000 in the mix of research products
sales resulting primarily from the Company's non-exclusive distribution
agreements for the Company's products and by a decrease of $700,000 in revenue
for the clinical reference laboratory operation. The decrease in revenues from
the clinical laboratory operations resulted primarily from a reduction in
reimbursement rates from the Medicare program and, to a lesser extent, a
decrease in volume from unprofitable diagnostic screening tests.
Cost of sales increased by approximately $35,000 as a result of an increase of
$ 197,000 in the cost of sales of research products from the Company's
distribution agreements activities offset by a decrease in the cost of clinical
laboratory services of $162,000. This decrease is primarily due to the improved
efficiencies of performing certain diagnostics screening tests. The increase in
the cost of research products is primarily due to the change in mix of products
distributed.
Research and development expenses increased by approximately $582,000 as a
result of an increase in research programs and to a lesser extent the increase
in amortization of patent costs.
The provision for uncollectable accounts receivable increased by $1,212,000
primarily due to the fact that additional reserves were needed during the six
months entered January 31, 1997 primarily to cover lower collection rates under
the Federal Medicare programs and other third-party insurance carriers. The
health care industry is undergoing significant change as third-party payors,
such as Medicare and other insurers, increase their efforts to control the cost,
utilization and delivery of health care services. In particular, the Company
believes that reductions in reimbursement for Medicare services will continue to
be implemented from time to time. Reductions in the reimbursement rates of other
third-party payors are likely to occur as well. Furthermore, the Company
12
cannot predict the effect health care reform, if enacted, would have on its
business, and there can be no assurance that such reforms, if enacted, would not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and operations.
Selling and general and administration expenses decreased by $592,000 primarily
due to a decrease in legal fees and the overall improved efficiencies at the
clinical reference laboratory.
Three months ended January 31, 1997 compared with three months ended January 31,
1996
Revenues from operations for the period ended January 31,1997 decreased by
$279,000 over revenues from operations for the period ended January 31,1996.
This decrease was due to a decrease of $266,000 in the mix of research products
sales primarily from the Company's non-exclusive distribution agreements and by
a decrease of $13,000 in revenue for the clinical reference laboratory
operation. The decrease in revenues from the clinical laboratory operations
resulted primarily from a reduction in reimbursements rates from the Medicare
program and to a lesser extent, a decrease in volume from unprofitable
diagnostic screening tests.
Cost of sales increased by approximately $97,000 as a result of an increase of
$87,000 in the cost of sales of research products from the Company's
distribution agreements activities and by a increase in the cost of clinical
laboratory services of $10,000.
Research and development expenses increased by approximately $259,000 as a
result of an increase in research programs and to a lesser extent the increase
in amortization of patent costs.
The provision for uncollectable accounts receivable increased by $446,000
primarily due to the fact that additional reserves were needed during the three
months ended January 31, 1997 primarily to cover lower collection rates under
the Federal Medicare programs and other third-party insurance carriers. The
health care industry is undergoing significant change as third-party payors,
such as Medicare and insurers, increase their efforts to control the cost,
utilization and delivery of health care services. In particular, the Company
believes that reductions in reimbursement for Medicare services will continue to
be implemented from time to time. Reductions in the reimbursement rates of other
third-party payors are likely to occur as well. Furthermore, the Company cannot
predict the effect health care reform, if enacted, would have on its business,
and there can be no assurance that such reforms, if enacted, would not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business and operations.
Selling and general and administration expenses decreased by $297,000 primarily
due to a decrease in legal fees and the overall improved efficiencies at the
clinical reference laboratory.
