           comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA margin.
             You state that Neogen defines Pro Forma EBITDA as "net income"
before interest,
           income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Please revise to
properly identify
           net income in this instance as "pro forma net income" here and in
the table and
           footnote 2 on page 44.

beginning on page
      94 indicating disclosure in the last column denotes the number of patents
or patent
      applications that are pending or issued in the applicable jurisdiction.
Please revise the
      table so that the disclosure clearly distinguishes patent applications
from issued patents.
