                    Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
                                  (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 1994 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

Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):

                              January 31, 1995    April 30, 1994
                              ----------------    --------------

D.  Financing Arrangements
- --------------------------

In January 1995, the Company entered into a credit arrangement with a new lender
which allows the Company to borrow the lesser of $8,500,000, or that available
under certain eligibility formulas, under a revolving credit facility (the
facility).  The amount eligible under such formulas was approximately $7.6
million at January 31, 1995, and borrowings outstanding under the facility were
$6.3 million at that date.  Borrowings under the facility were used to retire
the Company's obligations under its Industrial Development Revenue Bonds and
repay all amounts outstanding under its bank line of credit.

Under the facility, the Company provides monthly interest payments at a rate of
the greater of 8%, or 1% over the lender's prime rate, calculated on the greater
of the minimum required loan of $3,000,000 under the facility, or the average of
the actual daily loan balance outstanding during each month.  The Company's
inventories, accounts receivable and plants and equipment are pledged to the
lender as collateral securing borrowings under the facility.  The facility has a
maturity date of January 6, 1997.  Due to this maturity date and forecasted cash
needs of the Company, $3,000,000 of borrowings outstanding under the facility at
January 31, 1995 were classified as long-term debt in the condensed financial
statements.

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

The Company's 1994 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, 1994.  The following discussion and analysis
describes material changes in the Company's financial condition since April 30,
1994.  The analysis of results of operations compares the three months and nine
months ended January 31, 1995 with the comparable periods of the prior fiscal
year.

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

The Company recorded sales of $15.9 million for the three months ended January
31, 1995, up 14.7% from sales of $13.8 million for the comparable period of the
prior year.  Sales for the current quarter were favorably affected by increased
shipments of end-user products and contract-bid laboratory furniture, partially
offset by lower selling prices of contract-bid laboratory furniture.  Sales for
the nine months ended January 31, 1995 were $47.3 million, down 6.3% from sales
of $50.5 million in the comparable period of the prior year.  Sales for the
current year were unfavorably affected by reduced shipments and lower selling
prices of contract-bid laboratory furniture.

The Company's gross profit margins for the three months and nine months ended
January 31, 1995 were 17.0 percent and 16.0 percent, respectively, compared with
16.0 percent and 19.3 percent for the comparable periods of the prior fiscal
year.  The current quarter gross profit margin was favorably affected by
increased sales volume, partially offset by lower selling prices of contract-bid
laboratory furniture.  The gross profit margin for the current year was
unfavorably affected by reduced sales volume and lower selling prices of
contract-bid laboratory furniture.

Operating expenses for the three months and nine months ended January 31, 1995
were $2.4 million and $8.7 million, or 15.4% and 18.3% of sales, respectively.
This compares to operating expenses of $3.0 million and $9.8 million, or 21.4%
and 19.4% of sales, respectively, for the comparable periods of the prior fiscal
year.  The reduction in operating expenses for the current quarter and year are
a reflection of cost reduction activities, especially reductions of management
and administrative personnel announced in November 1994.

An operating profit of $253,000 was recorded for the three months ended January
31, 1995, and an operating loss of $1.1 million was recorded for the nine months
then ended.  These compare to operating losses of $747,000 and $31,000,
respectively, for the comparable periods of the prior fiscal year.













                                     8

Other income was $13,000 and $203,000 for the three months and nine months ended
January 31, 1995, respectively, compared to other income of $21,000 and $76,000
for the comparable periods of the prior fiscal year.  The current year increase
in other income was primarily due to cash payments received related to an
investment that was written-down in a prior year.

Interest expense was $168,000 and $350,000 for the three months and nine months
ended January 31, 1995, respectively, compared to interest expense of $40,000
and $229,000 for the comparable periods of the prior fiscal year.  The increase
in interest expense for the current quarter and the year resulted from higher
levels of debt, higher interest rates, and costs associated with the debt
restructuring in the current quarter.

Income tax expense of $28,000 was recorded for the three months ended January
31, 1995, and no tax benefit or expense was recorded for the nine-month period
then ended.  Income tax benefits of $153,000 and $37,000 were recorded for the
three and nine months ended January 31, 1994, respectively.  The effective tax
rate for each of these periods differs from the related statutory rates due to
adjustments to the deferred tax valuation allowance.

Net earnings of $70,000, or 3 cents per share, and net losses of $1,242,000, or
52 cents per share, were recorded for the three months and nine months ended
January 31, 1995, respectively.  This compares to net losses of $613,000 and
$147,000, or 26 cents per share and 6 cents per share, respectively, for the
comparable periods of the prior fiscal year.

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.

At January 31, 1995, the Company had working capital of $6.9 million and
available borrowings of $1.2 million under the Company's revolving credit
facility.  At April 30, 1994, the Company had working capital of $7.1 million
and available borrowings of $1,950,000 under a bank line of credit.  The
Company's operations used cash of $854,000 during the nine months ended January
31, 1995, primarily due to an increase in customer receivables.  The Company's
operations generated cash of $2.4 million during the nine months ended January
31, 1994, primarily due to a decrease in customer receivables.

As discussed in Note D to the condensed financial statements, in January 1995,
the Company entered into a credit arrangement with a new lender which allows the
Company to borrow the lesser of $8,500,000, or that available under certain
eligibility formulas, under a revolving crerdit facility (the facility).  The
amount eligible under such formulas was approximately $7.6 million at January
31, 1995, and borrowings outstanding under the facility were $6.3 million at
that date.  Borrowings under the facility were used to retire the Company's
obligations under its Industrial Development Revenue Bonds and repay all amounts
outstanding under its bank line of credit.  The Company's inventories, accounts
receivable and plant and equipment are pledged to the lender as collateral
securing borrowings under the facility.

The Company used cash of $517,000 for capital expenditures during the nine
months ended January 31, 1995, and used cash of $520,000 for such expenditures
during 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.

The Company increased its short-term investments by $394,000 during the nine
months ended January 31, 1995.  Short-term investments are pledged as collateral
for letters of credit.

The Company increased its short-term borrowings during the nine months ended
January 31, 1995 by $2.1 million.  The Company used cash of $3.4 million for
principal payments on long-term debt during the nine months ended January 31,
1995, including the retirement of the Company's obligations under its Industrial
Development Revenue Bonds.  Principal payments of $915,000 were made during the
comparable period of the prior fiscal year.  Due to the maturity date of the new
revolving credit facility and forecasted cash needs of the Company, $3.0 million
of the proceeds from the facility were classified as long-term debt in the
condensed financial statements at January 31, 1995.

No common stock dividends were paid during the nine months ended January 31,
1995 or the nine months ended January 31, 1994.

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 January 31, 1995, and the related condensed statements of
operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended January 31, 1995 and
1994, and the condensed statements of cash flows for the nine months ended
January 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 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,
1994, 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 3, 1994, 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, 1994 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the balance sheet from which it has been derived.
