Item 2.  Acquisition of Assets

         On November 23, 1999, New Brunswick Scientific Co., Inc. (the
"Company") acquired all of the outstanding common stock of DJM Cryo-Research
Limited and the net assets of DJM Fabrications, collectively DJM, a United
Kingdom Corporation and Partnership under common control, respectively, located
in Tollesbury, England.

         The purchase price consisted of (pound)3.5 million ($5.5 million) in
cash and (pound)250,000 ($392,500) in term notes payable in annual installments
over a five year period beginning in November 2003 with 6.00% interest. For
accounting purposes the acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase.

         The source of the cash consideration paid for DJM was the Company's
line of credit for acquisition purposes provided by First Union National Bank,
payable in monthly installments of $52,513.08 with 8.14% fixed interest.

         The common stock of DJM Cryo-Research Limited was acquired from its two
founding shareholders and their families and the net assets of DJM Fabrications
were acquired from the aforementioned two founding shareholders who were also
the partners of DJM Fabrications.

         The assets of DJM had been used by the sellers in the business of
designing, developing and manufacturing ultra-low temperature freezers for
laboratories with substantially all freezers being sold to the Company for many
years. The Company intends to continue using DJM's assets in that business.

Report of the auditors to the directors of DJM Cryo Research Limited



We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of DJM Cryo Research
Group at 30 April 1999 and 30 April 1998, and the related combined profit and
loss accounts, reconciliations of movements in net assets and cash flow
statements for each of the years in the two-year period ended 30 April 1999.
These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the management of
DJM Cryo Research Group. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
combined financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United Kingdom, which are substantially consistent with those of the
United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DJM Cryo Research
Group at 30 April 1999 and 30 April 1998, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended 30 April
1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
Kingdom.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom vary in certain
significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. Application of accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States would have affected net income for the two years ended 30
April 1999 and net assets at 30 April 1999 and 30 April 1998, to the extent
summarised in Note 16 to the combined financial statements.

(forming part of the financial statements)



1  Accounting policies

The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with
items which are considered material in relation to the combined financial
statements.

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable UK
accounting standards and under the historical cost accounting rules.

The combined financial statements include the financial statements of DJM Cryo
Research Limited ('Company') and DJM Fabrications, a United Kingdom partnership
('Partnership') (together 'DJM Cryo Research Group' or 'Group'). The combined
financial statements represent a combination of the financial statements of the
Company and the Partnership. Adjustments have been made to eliminate trading and
balances between the Company and the Partnership in order to present them as one
entity. The combined financial statements are made up to 30 April.

The Company is subject to full taxation on its results. However, the Partnership
is not liable for tax as the tax due on its profits is assessed on the partners
individually, rather than the Partnership. As such, the combined financial
statements do not reflect any tax on profits made by the Partnership.

The remuneration of the partners in the Partnership is received by way of
drawings charged to each partner's current account rather than as salaries.
These partnership drawings are reflected as an appropriation of profit in the
combined financial statements, as opposed to an expense.

Intangible fixed assets and amortisation

Goodwill is being written off evenly over its estimated useful life. The
directors estimate the useful life to be five years.

Fixed assets and depreciation

Depreciation is provided to write off the cost less the estimated residual value
of tangible fixed assets on a reducing balance basis over their estimated useful
economic lives as follows:

Plant and equipment        -        20% per annum

Motor vehicles             -        25% per annum

No depreciation is provided on freehold land. No depreciation is provided on
freehold buildings as the directors consider that both the accumulated
depreciation and annual charge are not material.

Stocks

Stocks are valued by the directors at the lower of cost and net realisable
value.

Deferred Taxation

Deferred taxation is provided on the liability method to take account of timing
differences between the treatment of certain items for accounts purposes and
their treatment for tax purposes. Tax deferred or accelerated is accounted for
in respect of all material timing differences to the extent that it is
considered that a net liability may crystallise.

Turnover

Turnover represents the amounts (excluding value added tax) derived from the
provision of goods and services to customers.


2  Analysis of turnover and profit on ordinary activities before taxation


All of the turnover and profit on ordinary activities before taxation for the
two years ended 30 April 1999 arose from one activity, being the design,
manufacturing, assembly and sales of ultra low temperature freezers.

For the year ended 30 April 1999, 40% of the Group's turnover related to exports
(1998: 42%)

4  Remuneration of directors


No remuneration was paid to the directors of the Company during the two years
ended 30 April 1999. The remuneration of the partners in the partnership is
received by way of drawings charged to each partner's current account rather
than as salaries. These are shown as partners' appropriations in note 7 below.

16  Summary of differences between United Kingdom and United States Generally
    Accepted Accounting Principles

The Group prepares its combined accounts in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United Kingdom (UK GAAP), which differ in certain
material respects from US GAAP. The significant differences relate principally
to the following items and the adjustments necessary to restate net income and
net assets in accordance with US GAAP are shown below.

a) Deferred tax

Under UK GAAP provision is made for deferred taxation only when there is a
reasonable probability that the liability will arise in the foreseeable future.
US GAAP requires full provision for deferred income taxes under the liability
method on all temporary differences and, if required, a valuation allowance is
established to reduce gross deferred tax assets to the amount which is likely to
be realised.

b)   Cash flows

The Cash Flow Statement is prepared in accordance with the UK Financial
Reporting Standard No 1 Revised, Cash Flow Statements ('FRS 1 Revised') for UK
GAAP reporting. Its objective and principles are similar to those set out in
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards SFAS 95 'Statement of Cash Flows'.
The principal difference between the standards is in respect of classification.
Under FRS1 Revised, the Group presents its cash flows for: operating activities;
returns on investments and servicing of finance; taxation; capital expenditure
and financial investment; acquisitions and disposals; equity dividends paid;
management of liquid resources; and financing. SFAS 95 requires only three
categories of cash flow activity: operating; investing and financing.

Notes (continued)



Cash flows arising from taxation and returns on investments and servicing of
finance under FRS1 Revised would be included as operating activities under SFAS
95. Dividend payments and partners' appropriations would be included as a
financing activity under SFAS 95. Under FRS1 Revised, cash is defined as cash in
hand and deposits repayable on demand, short term deposits which are readily
convertible into known amounts of cash at or close to their carrying value are
classified as liquid resources. SFAS 95 defines cash and cash equivalents as
cash in hand and short term highly liquid investments with original maturities
of three months or less.


The effect of applying these different accounting principles on net income is as

               NEW BRUNSWICK SCIENTIFIC CO., INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

          Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

                              Basis of Presentation


On November 23, 1999, New Brunswick Scientific Co., Inc. (the Company) acquired
all of the outstanding common stock of DJM Cryo Research Limited and the net
assets of DJM Fabrications (collectively, "DJM Cryo Research Group"), a United
Kingdom Corporation and Partnership under common control, respectively, located
in Tollesbury, England (the Acquisition). The purchase price consisted of
(pound)3.5 million ($5.5 million) in cash, and (pound)250,000 ($392,500) in term
notes payable in annual installments over a five year period beginning in
November 2003 with 6.00% interest. The source of the cash consideration paid was
the Company's line of credit for acquisition purposes provided by First Union
National Bank, payable in monthly installments of $52,513 with 8.14% fixed
interest. The common stock of DJM Cryo-Research Limited was acquired from its
two founding shareholders and their families, and the net assets of DJM
Fabrications were acquired from the aforementioned two founding shareholders who
were also the partners of DJM Fabrications.

The following presents certain unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
information of the Company as of September 30, 1999, and for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 1999 and year ended December 31, 1998. The unaudited
pro forma condensed combined balance sheet was prepared as if the Acquisition
took place on September 30, 1999, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined
statements of operations were prepared as if the Acquisition took place on
January 1, 1998. The financial statements give pro forma effect to (i)
borrowings used to fund the Acquisition, and (ii) preliminary allocation of the
purchase price based upon the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect pro
forma adjustments that are based upon available information and certain
assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma
condensed combined financial statements do not purport to represent the
Company's results of operations or financial position that would have resulted
had the transactions to which pro forma effects are given been consummated as of
the date or for the periods indicated. The Acquisition has been accounted for
herein using the purchase method of accounting. The pro forma condensed combined
financial statements reflect preliminary estimates of the allocation of the
purchase price for the Acquisition which may be adjusted. Management does not
expect such adjustments to be material.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and accompanying
notes should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of
the Company contained in its 1998 Annual Report and the historical financial
statements of DJM Cryo Research Group contained herein.
