NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 1997
(Unaudited)
1. The consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 1997, the consolidated
statement of operations for nine months ended April 30, 1997 ("1997 Period") and
1996 ("1996 Period") and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine
months ended April 30, 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 April 30, 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 nine months ended April 30, 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 consolidated 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. 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 a former lease. The Company paid the City $ 2,950,000 in shares of
stock in full settlement of all of the City's claims for unpaid taxes and rent.
Such shares of stock were subsequently sold by the City of New York. 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 April 30, 1997, had cash and cash equivalents of $ 23,665,000 an
increase of $ 5,872,000 from July 31,1996. The Company had working capital of $
42,148,000 at April 30, 1997 compared to $ 29,451,000 at July 31,1996.
10
The Company's income before taxes for the nine months ended April 30, 1997 was
$959,000 which includes depreciation and amortization aggregating approximately
$1,372,000. 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 nine month period ended April
30, 1997 was approximately $ 6,131,000 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 $ 4,345,000 for
the 1996 period which also includes $ 5.0 million of cash received in connecting
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 April 30, 1997,
an increase provision for uncollectable accounts receivable of $ 1,306,000
offset by the decrease in trade accounts payable and other accrued expenses.
Net cash used in investing activities increased by $ 212,000 from the 1996
period primarily as a result of an increase in capital expenditures and patent
costs.
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $ 658,000 from the 1996
period primarily as a result of the decrease in proceeds from the exercise of
stock options.
Results of Operations
Nine months ended April 30, 1997 compared with nine months ended April 30, 1996
Revenues from operations for the period ended April 30,1997 decreased by
$496,000 compared to revenues from operations for the nine month period ended
April 30,1996. This decrease was due to a decrease of $ 683,000 in revenue from
the clinical reference laboratory operation offset by the increase of $ 187,000
in the mix of research products sales resulting primarily from the Company's
non-exclusive distribution agreements for the Company's products. 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 $ 39,000 as a result of an increase of $ 64,000 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 $ 25,000.
11
Research and development expenses increased by $ 719,000 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 $ 1,306,000
primarily due to the fact that additional reserves were needed during the nine
months ended April 30, 1997 primarily to cover lower collection rates under the
Federal Medicare program 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 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.
General and administration expenses decreased by $325,000 primarily due to a
decrease in legal fees and the overall improved efficiencies at the clinical
reference laboratory.
Three months ended April 30, 1997 compared with three months ended April 30,
1996
Revenues from operations for the three month period ended April 30, 1997
increased by $ 334,000 compared to revenues from operations for the three month
period ended April 30,1996. This increase was due to a increase of $ 318,000 in
the mix of research products sales primarily from the company's non-exclusive
distribution agreements and by a increase of $ 16,000 in revenue for the
clinical reference laboratory operation.
Cost of sales increased by approximately $ 5,000 as a result of an decrease of
$133,000 in the cost of sales of research products from the Company's
distribution agreements activities, due to the increase in profit margins on the
mix of research products sold. Offset by an increase in the cost of clinical
laboratory services of $ 138,000, due to the costs associated with the
performing of higher priced esoteric tests.
Research and development expenses increased by approximately $ 137,000 as a
result of an increase in research programs and to a lesser extent the increase
in amortization of patent costs.
12
The provision for uncollectable accounts receivable increased by $ 94,000
primarily due to the fact that additional reserves were needed during the three
months ended April 30, 1997 primarily to cover lower collection rates under the
Federal Medicare program 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 increased by $ 233,000 primarily
due to an increase of $ 104,000 in costs associated with the marketing programs
of the research activities and the costs incurred related to the 401K employer
match of $ 129,000.
