                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL INFORMATION


1.  Management Statement

         The financial statements as reported in Form 10-Q reflect all
    adjustments (including those of a normal recurring nature) which are, in the
    opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of results for the
    three and nine months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994.

2.  Per Share Calculation

         Shares (in thousands) used in per share data are as follows:
      

                                                     March 31    
                                                 1995        1994 

              Earnings                          14,620      15,394
              Cash Dividends                    14,346      15,105

         Earnings per share have been computed according to generally accepted
    accounting principles.

         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.

4.  Dispositions

    In August, 1994, the Company sold its Standex International Engraving GmbH
    subsidiary for net proceeds of $13.6 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.  Revolving Credit Agreement

    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 CONSOLIDATION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION


During the nine months ended March 31, 1995, 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 $22.3 million and net proceeds from bank credit agreements of
$14.5 million, were used to purchase $19.4 million of the Company's Common
Stock, pay $13.5 million of long term debt, fund plant and equipment
expenditures of $9.3 million and pay out $6.6 million in cash dividends to
the Company's shareholders.  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 March 31, 1995
              as compared to the Quarter Ended March 31, 1994


Net Sales reached record levels for the quarter ended March 31, 1995.  Net
Sales rose $10.7 million, or 8.2%, when compared to the same period of the
prior year.  The Institutional segment reported the largest increase in Net
Sales of $8.6 million resulting from improved customer demand.  Growth in
Net Sales of $1.4 million was reported by the Graphics/Mail Order segment
primarily due to improvement in the European economy.  The Industrial
segment registered only a slight gain in Net Sales.  Although several
operations within this segment reported significant improvements in Net
Sales, these gains were partially offset by the absence of a German
subsidiary which was sold in the first quarter of fiscal 1995.

The Gross Profit Margin Percentage increased to 33.1% for the third quarter
of fiscal 1995 as compared to 32.1% in the same period of the prior year.
The largest increase in the Gross Profit Margin Percentage was reported by
the Industrial segment due primarily to the growth in Net Sales reported by
many divisions within this segment.  The other segments had no significant
changes. 

OPERATIONS (Continued)

For the quarter ended March 31, 1995, Selling, General and Administrative
Expenses (SG&A) rose $1.8 million, or 5.8%.  The Graphics/Mail Order and
Institutional segments reported an increase in SG&A while the Industrial
segment registered a decline in SG&A due mainly to the sale of a German
subsidiary in the first quarter of fiscal 1995.  However, as a percentage
of Net Sales, SG&A decreased from 23.8% of Net Sales in the third quarter
of fiscal 1994 to 23.3% of Net Sales for the same period of fiscal 1995.

The Graphics/Mail Order segment reported a slight increase in SG&A as a
percentage of Net Sales primarily attributable to increased marketing
efforts.  The Institutional and Industrial segments reported a decline in
SG&A as a percentage of Net Sales due mainly to increased business
activity. 

In the third quarter of fiscal 1995, Interest Expense increased $684,000 as
compared to the same period of fiscal 1994 as a result of increased
borrowings at higher interest rates than those experienced during the same
period of the prior year.

The above factors resulted in a $2.4 million, or 24.8%, increase in Income
Before Income Taxes as compared to the same period of the prior year.  The
effective tax rate in the third quarter decreased to 32.2% from 34.6%
reported in the same period of fiscal 1994 primarily due to an increase in
foreign tax credits and tax benefits generated by a UK subsidiary.

For the third quarter of fiscal 1995, Net Income reached record levels. Net
Income increased $1.8 million, or 29.3%, when compared to the same period
of the prior year as a result of the factors described above.


                     Nine Months Ended March 31, 1995
              as compared to Nine Months Ended March 31, 1994

Net Sales for the nine months ended March 31, 1995 reached record levels
for any first nine month period in the Company's history.  A $34.4 million
increase, or an 8.8% improvement, in Net Sales was recorded as compared to
the same period of the prior year.  All three segments reported gains in
Net Sales attributable to improved demand worldwide.  The Institutional and
Graphics/Mail Order segments recorded growth in Net Sales of $22.1 million
and $10.9 million, respectively.  Despite the absence of a German
subsidiary which was sold in the first quarter of fiscal 1995, the
Industrial segment reported a $1.4 million increase in Net Sales.   

For the nine months ended March 31, 1995, the Gross Profit Margin
Percentage rose to 33.6% as compared to 32.9% in the same period of the
prior year.  All three segments registered improvements in their Gross
Profit Margin Percentages.  However, the largest increase was reported by
the Industrial segment primarily due to the growth in Net Sales reported by
many of this segment's operations.

OPERATIONS (Continued)

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A) increased $4.4 million,
or 4.7%, for the nine months ended March 31, 1995 when compared to the same
period last year.  The Graphics/Mail Order and Institutional segments
reported an increase in SG&A while the Industrial segment registered a
decline in SG&A due mainly to the sale of a German subsidiary in the first
quarter of fiscal 1995.  However, as a percentage of Net Sales, SG&A for
the nine months ended March 31, 1995 decreased from 24% of Net Sales in
fiscal 1994 to 23.1% of Net Sales in fiscal 1995.  All three segments
reported a decrease in SG&A as a percentage of Net Sales due mainly to
increased business activity.   

Interest Expense rose $1.6 million for the nine months ended March 31,
1995, when compared to the same period of the prior year for the reasons
presented in the discussion of quarterly results.

The above factors, along with the $5.4 million net gain from the
disposition of businesses and product lines, resulted in a $14.0 million,
or 45.3%, increase in Income Before Taxes as compared to the same period of
the prior year.  The effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31,
1995 decreased to 35.5% as compared to 36.3% in the same period of fiscal
1994 due mainly to the factors described in the analysis of quarterly
results.

For the nine months ended March 31, 1995, Net Income reached record levels.
Net Income increased $9.3 million, or 47.2%, when compared to the same
period of the prior year due to the factors described above.
