     Earnings per share have been computed according to generally accepted

     Cash dividends per share have been computed based on the shares outstanding

 at the time the dividends were paid.


3.  Contingencies                                          


The Company is a party to various claims and legal proceedings related to 

environmental matters generally incidental to its business.  Management has 

evaluated each matter based upon the advice of its independent environmental 

consultants and has recorded an appropriate provision for the resolution of 

such matters in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 

(SFAS) No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies,"  Management believes that the 

ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect 

on the Company's financial statements.
<PAGE>
4.  Dispositions

  In August, 1994 the Company sold its Standex International Engraving GmbH 

subsidiary for a total consideration of $18.9 million.  In addition, in 

September, 1994 the Company formulated a plan to dispose, or otherwise align, 

certain businesses and product lines.  In the aggregate these transactions 

resulted in a net gain of $5.4 million which has been recorded in the 

accompanying Statement of Consolidated Income as a component of Other 

Income/(Expense).  The net sales of the subsidiary and the other businesses and 

product lines were approximately $29,100,000 for fiscal 1994.


5.  Subsequent Event

  In November, 1994 the Company re-negotiated its Revolving Credit Agreement 

which increased the maximum credit line available from $125,000,000 to 

$175,000,000 and extended repayment terms from December 1997 to October 1999.  

The financial covenants were substantially reduced.  All other conditions and 

warranties remained substantially unchanged from the prior Revolving Credit 

Agreement.  



                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION


During the six months ended December 31, 1994, the Company sold a Germany 

subsidiary for net proceeds of $13.6 million.  In addition, the Company 

formulated a plan to dispose, or otherwise align, certain other businesses and 

product lines.  In the aggregate, these transactions resulted in a gain of $5.4 

million.  The net proceeds from the sale, as well as net operating cash flows

of $16.2 million, were used to purchase $11.0 million of Treasury Stock, fund

plant and equipment expenditures of $7.1 million and pay out $4.3 million 

in cash dividends to the Company's shareholders.  The remaining net proceeds

from the sale as well as the balance of net operating cash flows were used to

reduce debt.  Residual costs related to the disposition and alignment of the

other businesses and product lines will not have a material impact on future

cash flows.


In November 1994, the Company re-negotiated its Revolving Credit Agreement 

which increased the maximum credit line available from $125 million to $175 

million and extended repayment terms from December 1997 to October 1999.  The

financial covenants were substantially reduced.  All other conditions and

warranties remained substantially unchanged from the prior Revolving Credit

Agreement.  While existing cash flows and bank credit agreements are 

sufficient to meet anticipated cash needs, the re-negotiated Revolving Credit

Agreement will enhance the Company's financial flexibility. 



OPERATIONS


                        Quarter Ended December 31, 1994

               as compared to the Quarter Ended December 31, 1993


Net Sales reached record levels for the quarter ended December 31, 1994.  As 

compared to the same quarter of fiscal 1994, Net Sales increased $10.4

million.  Due to improved customer demand, the Company's Institutional and

Graphics/Mail Order segments registered gains in Net Sales of $6.5 and 

$6.1 million, respectively.  A decline in Net Sales of $2.2 million was 

reported by the Industrial segment.  Although improvement in Net Sales was

reported by many divisions within this segment, these gains were offset by 

the absence of a German subsidiary which was sold in the first quarter of 

fiscal 1995.


For the three months ended December 31, 1994, the Gross Profit Margin 

Percentage rose to 35.1% as compared to 34.3% in the same quarter of the prior

year.  The Institutional and Graphics/Mail Order segments reported a slight

increase in the Gross Profit Margin Percentage primarily due to the growth in

Net Sales reported for the latest quarter.  The Industrial segment experienced

a reduction in the Gross Profit Margin Percentage due mainly to the sale of a

German subsidiary in the first quarter of fiscal 1995.


Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A) rose 4.8%, or $1.6 million, 

for the three months ended December 31, 1994 when compared to the same period

of fiscal 1994.  However, as a percentage of Net Sales, SG&A decreased from

25.1% of Net Sales in the second quarter of fiscal 1994 to 24.4% for the same

period of fiscal 1995.  The Graphics/Mail Order and Institutional segments

reported modest growth in SG&A primarily due to increased business activity.

The Industrial segment experienced a decline in SG&A due mainly to the 

sale of a German subsidiary in the first quarter of fiscal 1995.

 

Interest Expense rose 40.6%, or $563,000, as compared to the second quarter of 

fiscal 1994 due to increased borrowings at higher interest rates than those 

experienced during the same period of the prior year.  


The above factors resulted in a $3.1 million, or 28.2%, increase in Income 

Before Income Taxes as compared to the same period of the prior year.  The 

effective tax rate increased slightly from 34.9% for the second quarter of 

fiscal 1994 to 35.3% for the same period of fiscal 1995. 


Net Income for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 increased $1.9 million, or 

27.4%, versus the same quarter last year due to the factors described above. 



                       Six Months Ended December 31, 1994

             as compared to the Six Months Ended December 31, 1993


Net Sales for the six months ended December 31, 1994 reached record levels.  An 

increase in Net Sales of $23.7 million was reported with all segments 

registering an improvement.  Net Sales for the Institutional and Graphics/Mail 

Order segments rose $13.4 and $9.5 million, respectively, for the reasons 

described in the discussion of quarterly results.  Despite gains reported by 

several divisions, the Industrial segment experienced only a slight increase in 

Net Sales due to the sale of a German subsidiary as previously discussed.


The Gross Profit Margin Percentage for the six month period increased modestly 

from 33.3% for the same period of fiscal 1994 to 33.9% in fiscal 1995.  All 

three segments registered improvement in the Gross Profit Margin Percentage

over the six month period due mainly to the increase in Net Sales.


Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A) increased $2.6 million for 

the six months ended December 31, 1994.  However, as a percentage of Net Sales, 

SG&A decreased from 24.1% of Net Sales in fiscal 1994 to 23.0% of Net Sales in 

fiscal 1995.  All segments reported a decrease in SG&A as a percentage of Net 

Sales with no individual decrease being significant.


Interest Expense rose 33.5%, or $954,000, for the six months ended December 31, 

1994 due to increased borrowings at higher interest rates than those 

experienced in the same period of fiscal 1994. 


The above factors, along with the $5.4 million gain from the disposition of a 

German subsidiary, resulted in a 54.5%, or $11.6 million, increase in Income 

Before Income Taxes for the six months ended December 31, 1994.  The effective 

tax rate during this period decreased slightly to 36.7% as compared to 37.1% in 

the same period of the prior year.  Net Income for the first six months of 

fiscal 1995 increased $7.4 million, or 55.5%, as compared to the six months 

ended December 31, 1993.
