             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)



Note 1 - Interim results:

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly, its financial position
as of September 30, 1997 and the results of its operations and cash flows for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. Interim results may not be
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year.


Note 2 - Earnings per Common share:

Earnings per Common share is based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding. Stock options are not included in the calculation as they had no
significant dilutive effect on earnings per Common share. A 10% stock dividend
was declared on February 26, 1997 and distributed on May 15, 1997. The
weighted average number of shares outstanding for prior periods have been
restated to reflect this dividend.

              NEW BRUNSWICK SCIENTIFIC CO., INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
                      OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION



Forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, are made throughout this Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. For
this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of
historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without
limiting the foregoing, the words "believes," "anticipates," "plans,"
"expects," "seeks," "estimates," and similar expressions are intended to
identify forward-looking statements. There are a number of important factors
that could cause the results of the Company to differ materially from those
indicated by such forward-looking statements.

The following is Management's discussion and analysis of significant factors
that have affected the Company's operating results and financial condition
during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997.


                             Results of Operations

Quarter Ended September 30, 1997 vs. Quarter Ended September 30, 1996.

For the quarter ended September 30, 1997, net sales were $9,856,000 compared
with net sales of $9,658,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, an
increase of 2.1%. Net income for the 1997 quarter of $42,000 or $.01 per share
compared with net income of $40,000 or $.01 per share for the third quarter of
1996.

Research, development and engineering expenses increased to $1,024,000 in the
1997 quarter from $894,000 in 1996 due primarily to support the operations of
DGI BioTechnologies, the Company's drug-lead discovery operation.

Interest income declined during the 1997 quarter due to the lower amount of
cash and cash equivalents available for investment. Interest expense increased
during the 1997 quarter due to interest incurred as a result of a tax audit.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 vs. Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996

For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, net sales were $31,468,000
compared with net sales of $29,074,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1996, an increase of 8.2%. There was a net loss for the 1997 period of
$260,000 or $.06 per share compared with net income of $168,000 or $.04 per
share for the first nine months of 1996.

The increase in net sales in the 1997 period was primarily attributable to
increased sales in the United States.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $9,525,000 in the
1997 period from $8,752,000 in 1996 due primarily to normal year to year
increases and to the effect of a decrease in 1996 expenses as a result of the
recovery of certain legal expenses. Research, development and engineering
expenses increased to $3,113,000 in the 1997 period from $2,616,000 in 1996
due primarily to support the operations of DGI BioTechnologies, the Company's
drug lead discovery operation.

Interest income declined during the 1997 period due to the lower amount of
cash and cash equivalents available for investment. Interest expense increased
during the 1997 period due to interest incurred as a result of tax audits.

                              Financial Condition

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the period ended September 30, 1997, Cash and Cash Equivalents
decreased to $3,835,000 from $5,196,000 at December 31, 1996. The decrease in
cash resulted primarily from an increase in inventories from $12,980,000 at
December 31, 1996 to $15,522,000 at September 30, 1997 and the net loss for
the period of $260,000, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable
to $7,475,000 at September 30, 1997 from $10,108,000 at December 31, 1996. The
increase in inventories consisted primarily of $988,000 of work-in-process
inventory, largely due to a significant increase in orders for custom
bioprocess equipment and $1,527,000 of finished goods inventory as a result of
the need to build stocks to compensate for the Company's annual two week
summer plant shutdown of its manufacturing facility and to prepare for
anticipated higher demand during the fourth quarter. The decrease in accounts
receivable, resulted from the lower volume of sales during the quarter ended
September 30, 1997 as compared with the quarter ended December 31, 1996.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

During the period ended September 30, 1997, net cash used by operating
activities amounted to $321,000 compared with net cash used of $720,000 for
the period ended September 30, 1996. The primary reasons for the $399,000
positive change between the two periods were a decrease in accounts receivable
of $2,067,000 in 1997 vs. a decrease of $1,001,000 in 1996 and a decrease in
accounts payable and accrued expenses of $620,000 in 1997 vs. a decrease of
$1,041,000 in 1996 and were partially offset by an increase in inventories of
$2,889,000 in 1997 vs. an increase of $1,692,000 in 1996 and a net loss of
$260,000 in 1997 vs. net income of $168,000, in 1996.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used by investing activities amounted to $849,000 in 1997 vs.
$1,123,000 in 1996, primarily as a result of additions to property, plant and
equipment and from an investment in another entity in 1997. A significant
portion of the 1996 capital additions were attributable to building
laboratories and purchasing equipment for DGI BioTechnologies and the
installation by the Company of a state-of-the-art powder coat paint facility.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used by financing activities amounted to $12,000 in 1997 vs. $59,000
used in 1996. The 1997 amount includes $35,000 related to the discount from
fair market value upon issuance of options under the Company's stock option
plan for nonemployee directors.

Management believes that the resources available to the Company, including its
line of credit are sufficient to meet its near and intermediate-term needs,
including funding commitments for DGI BioTechnologies, and its strong
unleveraged balance sheet and debt-free real estate provide the basis for any
long-term financing if the need should arise.
