                             (unaudited)

A.  Financial Information
-------------------------

The unaudited interim condensed financial statements of Kewaunee Scientific
Corporation (the "Company" or "Kewaunee") have been prepared pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission").  Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.
These interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes included in the Company's 1995
Annual Report to Stockholders.

In the opinion of management, the interim condensed financial statements
reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods.  The results of
operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations to be expected for the full year.

B.  Inventories

          Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis
         of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The Company's 1995 Annual Report to Stockholders contains management's
discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations at
and for the year ended April 30, 1995.  The following discussion and
analysis describes material changes in the Company's financial condition
since April 30, 1995.  The analysis of results of operations compares the
three months ended July 31, 1995 with the comparable period of the prior
fiscal year.

Results of Operations
---------------------

The Company recorded sales of $15.5 million for the three months ended July
31, 1995, down 5.1% from sales of $16.4 million for the comparable period
of the prior year.  This lower sales volume was in line with the Company's
projections, based on the lower market demand for laboratory furniture and
the Company's marketing strategies.

The Company's gross profit margin for the three months ended July 31, 1995
was 17.2%, unchanged from the comparable period of the prior fiscal year.

Operating expenses for the three months ended July 31, 1995 were  $2.4
million, down 20.6% from operating expenses of $3.0 million for the
comparable period of the prior fiscal year.  As a percent of sales,
operating expenses for the three months ended July 31, 1995 were 15.5% of
sales as compared to 18.6% of sales for the comparable period of the prior
fiscal year.  The reduction in operating expenses for the current quarter
resulted from a variety of actions including, in particular, reductions in
management and administrative personnel.

An operating profit of $258,000 was recorded for the three months ended
July 31, 1995, as compared to an operating loss of $215,000 recorded in the
comparable period of the prior fiscal year.

Interest expense was $204,000 for the three months ended July 31, 1995,
compared to $85,000 for the comparable period of the prior fiscal year.
The increase in interest expense for the current quarter resulted from
higher levels of debt and higher interest rates.

Other income was $16,000 for the three months ended July 31, 1995, compared
to $161,000 for the comparable period of the prior fiscal year.  Prior year
other income exceeded the current year amount primarily due to a cash
settlement that was received in the prior year related to an investment
that had been previously written-down.

<PAGE>

No income tax expense or benefit was recorded for the three months ended
July 31, 1995.  An income tax benefit of $28,000 was recorded for the three
months ended July 31, 1994.  The effective tax rate for each of these
periods differs from the related statutory rates due to adjustments to the
deferred tax valuation allowance.

A net profit of $70,000, or $.03 per share, was reported for the three
months ended July 31, 1995, compared to a net loss of $111,000, or $.05 per
share, for the comparable period of the prior fiscal year.  The reduction
in operating expenses during the current quarter more than offset the
unfavorable effect of the lower sales volume during the quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

Historically, the Company's principal sources of liquidity have been funds
generated from operations, supplemented as needed by short-term borrowings.
The Company believes that these sources will be sufficient to support
ongoing business levels, including capital expenditures and debt service
requirements.

The Company had working capital of $7.3 million at July 31, 1995, as
compared to $6.7 million at April 30, 1995.  The ratio of current assets to
current liabilities was 1.6-to-1 at July 31, 1995, unchanged from April 30,
1995.  The debt-to-equity ratio was .44-to-1 at July 31, 1995, as compared
to .39-to-1 at April 30, 1995.  The Company had unused credit available in
the amount of $1.6 million under a revolving credit facility at July 31,
1995, as compared to unused credit in the amount of $2.1 million at April
30, 1995.  The Company had unused credit available under a revolving credit
facility in the amount of $1.6 million at July 31, 1995, as compared to
unused credit available under this facility of $2.1 million at April 30,
1995.

The Company's operations used cash of $571,000 during the three months
ended July 31, 1995, primarily due to payments decreasing accounts payable
and accrued expenses and the funding of an increase in inventories.  The
Company's operations used cash of $627,000 during the three months ended
July 31, 1994.

The Company used cash of $166,000 for capital expenditures during the three
months ended July 31, 1995, and used cash of $180,000 for such expenditures
for the comparable period of the prior fiscal year, in both instances
primarily for the purchase of production machinery.  The Company does not
anticipate an abnormal level of capital expenditures for the remainder of
the current fiscal year.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Kewaunee Scientific Corporation
Statesville, North Carolina

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed balance sheet of Kewaunee
Scientific Corporation as of July 31, 1995, and the related condensed
statements of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended
July 31, 1995 and 1994.  These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical
procedures to financial data and of making inquiries of persons responsible
for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope
than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding
the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express
such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to such condensed financial statements for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the balance sheet of Kewaunee Scientific Corporation as of April
30, 1995, and the related statements of operations and retained earnings
and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our
report dated June 2, 1995, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those
financial statements.  In our opinion, the information set forth in the
accompanying condensed balance sheet as of April 30, 1995 is fairly stated,
in all material respects, in relation to the balance sheet from which it
has been derived.
