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 1996 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):

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


The Company's 1996 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, 1996. The following discussion and analysis
describes material changes in the Company's financial condition since April 30,
1996. The analysis of results of operations compares the three months ended July
31, 1996 with the comparable period of the prior fiscal year.

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

The Company recorded sales of $16.3 million for the three months ended July 31,
1996, up 4.7% from sales of $15.5 million for the comparable period of the prior
year. This increase was attributable to increased sales of end-user products
during the quarter, partially offset by decreased sales of contract-bid
laboratory furniture.

The Company's gross profit margin for the three months ended July 31, 1996 was
20.2%, compared to 17.2% for the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. As
compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 1996, the gross profit margin was
favorably affected by an improved product sales mix and higher selling prices
for contract-bid laboratory furniture.

Operating expenses for the three months ended July 31, 1996 were $2.7 million,
up 13.8% from operating expenses of $2.4 million for the comparable period of
the prior fiscal year. As a percent of sales, operating expenses for the three
months ended July 31, 1996 were 16.9% of sales as compared to 15.5% of sales for
the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in operating
expenses for the current quarter was primarily attributable to increased sales
and marketing expenses, mainly sales commissions associated with the improved
product sales mix.

An operating profit of $543,000 was recorded for the three months ended July 31,
1996, as compared to $258,000 recorded in the comparable period of the prior
fiscal year.

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
Interest expense was $134,000 for the three months ended July 31, 1996, compared
to $204,000 for the comparable period of the prior fiscal year.  The decrease in
interest expense for the current quarter resulted from lower levels of average
debt, assisted by lower interest rates.

Other income was $4,000 for the three months ended July 31, 1996, compared to
$16,000 for the comparable period of the prior fiscal year.

An income tax benefit of $125,000 resulting from an adjustment of the Company's
valuation allowance on deferred tax assets was recorded for the three months
ended July 31, 1996. No income tax expense or benefit was recorded for the three
months ended July 31, 1995.  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 $538,000, or $.23 per share, was reported for the three months
ended July 31, 1996, compared to a net profit of $70,000, or $.03 per share, for
the comparable period 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, including capital expenditures and debt service requirements.

The Company had working capital of $5.4 million at July 31, 1996, as compared 
to $5.0 million at April 30, 1996.  The ratio of current assets to current
liabilities was 1.4-to-1 at July 31, 1996, slightly below the April 30, 1996
ratio of 1.5-to-1.  The debt-to-equity ratio was .20-to-1 at July 31, 1996, as
compared to .19-to-1 at April 30, 1996.  The Company had unused credit available
under a revolving credit facility in the amount of $4.4 million at July 31,
1996, as compared to unused credit available under this facility of $4.0 million
at April 30, 1996.

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
The Company's operations provided cash of $159,000 during the three months ended
July 31, 1996.  This increase was primarily attributable to operating earnings
and an increase in accounts payable, partially offset by an increase in customer
receivables and inventory.  The Company's operations used cash of $571,000
during the three months ended July 31, 1995, primarily to reduce accounts
payable and accrued expenses and fund an increase in inventories.

The Company used cash of $406,000 for capital expenditures during the three
months ended July 31, 1996, and used cash of $166,000 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.


Recent Accounting Standards
- ---------------------------

In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," which will be effective for the Company beginning May 1, 1996.
SFAS No. 123 requires expanded disclosures of stock-based compensation
arrangements with employees and encourages (but does not require) compensation
cost to be measured based on the fair value of the equity instrument awarded.
Companies are permitted, however, to continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25, which
recognizes compensation cost based on the intrinsic value of the equity
instrument awarded.  The Company will continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25 to
its stock based compensation awards to employees and will disclose the required
pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share in its year-end financial
statements.

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, 1996, and the related condensed statements of
operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended July 31, 1996 and
1995.  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,
1996, and the related statements of operations and retained earnings and of cash
flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated
May 31, 1996, 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, 1996 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the balance sheet from which it has been derived.
