                   CASEY'S GENERAL STORES, INC.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





1.   In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying condensed 
     financial statements (unaudited) contain all adjustments 
     (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to 
     present fairly the financial position as of January 31, 
     1995, and the results of operations for the three months and 
     nine months ended January 31, 1995 and 1994, and changes in 
     cash flows for the nine months ended January 31, 1995 and 
     1994.

2.   Sales generally are strongest during the Company's first 
     quarter (May-July) and weakest during its fourth quarter 
     (February-April).  In the warmer months customers tend to 
     purchase greater quantities of gasoline and certain 
     convenience items, such as beer, soft drinks and ice.  Due 
     to the continuing emphasis on high-margin, freshly prepared 
     food items, however, the Company's net sales and net income 
     (with the exception of the fourth quarter) have become 
     somewhat less seasonal in recent years.  

3.   Retail gasoline profit margins have a substantial impact on 
     the Company's net income.  Profit margins on gasoline sales 
     can be adversely affected by factors beyond the control of 
     the Company, including over-supply in the retail gasoline 
     market, uncertainty or volatility in the wholesale gasoline 
     market (such as that experienced in fiscal 1991 as a result 
     of the Persian Gulf crisis) and price competition from other 
     gasoline marketers.  Any substantial decrease in profit 
     margins on retail gasoline sales or the number of gallons 
     sold could have a material adverse effect on the Company's 
     earnings.

4.   All earnings per share numbers have been adjusted to reflect 
     the two-for-one split of the Company's Common Stock declared 
     for shareholders of record on February 1, 1994 and paid on 
     February 15, 1994.

Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL 
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

     FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Casey's derives its revenue from the retail sale of food 
(including freshly prepared foods such as pizza, donuts and 
sandwiches), beverages and non-food products such as health and 
beauty aids, tobacco products, automotive products and gasoline 
by Company stores and from the wholesale sale of certain grocery 
and general merchandise items and gasoline to franchised stores.  
The Company also generates revenues from continuing monthly 
royalties based on sales by franchised stores, sign and facade 
rental fees and the provision of certain maintenance, 
transportation and construction services to the Company's 
franchisees.  A typical store is generally not profitable for its 
first year of operation due to start-up costs and will usually 
attain representative levels of sales and profits during its 
third year of operation.

     Due to the nature of the Company's business, most sales are 
for cash, and cash provided by operations is the Company's 
primary source of liquidity.  The Company finances its inventory 
purchases primarily from normal trade credit aided by the 
relatively rapid turnover of inventory.  This turnover allows the 
Company to conduct its operations without large amounts of cash 
and working capital.  As of January 31, 1995, the Company's ratio 
of current assets to current liabilities was .54 to 1.  The ratio 
at January 1, 1994 and April 30, 1994, was .55 to 1 and .60 to 1, 
respectively.  Management believes that the Company's current 
$25,000,000 bank lines of credit (aggregate amount), together 
with cash flow from operations, will be sufficient to satisfy the 
working capital needs of its business.

     Net cash provided by operations decreased $4,770,092 (12.4%) 
in the nine months ended January 31, 1995 from the comparable 
period in the prior year, primarily as a result of an increase in 
inventories and a decrease in accounts payable.  Cash flows from 
investing and financing in the nine months ended January 31, 1995 
decreased, primarily as a result of decreased capital 
expenditures.  Cash flows in the future are expected to increase 
as a result of the anticipated growth in capital expenditures.

     Capital expenditures represent the single largest use of 
Company funds.  Management believes that by reinvesting in 
Company stores, the Company will be better able to respond to 
competitive challenges and increase operating efficiencies.  
<PAGE>
During the first nine months of fiscal 1995, the Company expended 
$41,046,711 for property and equipment, primarily for the 
construction and remodeling of Company stores, compared to 
$51,155,278 for the comparable period in the prior year.  The 
Company anticipates expending approximately $50,000,000 in fiscal 
1995 for construction, acquisition and remodeling of Company 
stores, primarily from funds generated by operations, existing 
cash and short-term investments and proceeds of the 7.70% Senior 
Notes due December 15, 2004 (the "Senior Notes").

     As of January 31, 1995, the Company had long-term debt of 
$62,193,932, consisting of $27,000,000 of Senior Notes, 
$14,845,707 of mortgage notes payable, $12,250,000 of unsecured 
notes payable and $8,098,225 of capital lease obligations.  

     Interest on the Senior Notes is payable on the 15th day of 
each month at the rate of 7.70% per annum.  Principal of the 
Senior Notes matures in forty quarterly installments beginning 
March 15, 1995.  The Company may prepay the Senior Notes in whole 
or in part at any time in an amount of not less than $1,000,000 
or integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof at a 
redemption price calculated in accordance with the Note Agreement 
dated as of February 1, 1994 between the Company and the 
purchasers of the Senior Notes.

     To date, the Company has funded capital expenditures 
primarily from the proceeds of the sale of Common Stock, issuance 
of the 6-1/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures (which were 
converted into 3,683,064 shares of Common Stock on March 28, 
1994) and the Senior Notes, a mortgage note, unsecured notes 
payable and through funds generated from operations.  Future 
capital needs required to finance operations, improvements and 
the anticipated growth in the number of Company stores are 
expected to be met from cash generated by operations, existing 
cash, short-term and long-term investments and additional 
long-term debt or other securities as circumstances may dictate, 
and are not expected to adversely affect liquidity.

     The United States Environmental Protection Agency and 
several states, including Iowa, have established requirements for 
owners and operators of underground gasoline storage tanks (USTs) 
with regard to (i) maintenance of leak detection, corrosion 
protection and overfill/spill protection systems; (ii) upgrade of 
existing tanks; (iii) actions required in the event of a detected 
leak; (iv) prevention of leakage through tank closings; and (v) 
required gasoline inventory recordkeeping.  Since 1984, new 
Company stores have been equipped with non-corroding fiberglass 
USTs, including many with double-wall construction, over-fill 
protection and electronic tank monitoring, and the Company has an 
active inspection and renovation program with respect to its 
<PAGE>
older USTs.  The Company currently has 1,548 USTs, of which 1,148 
are fiberglass and 400 are steel.  Management believes that its 
existing gasoline procedures and planned capital expenditures 
will continue to keep the Company in substantial compliance with 
all current federal and state UST regulations.

     Several of the states in which the Company does business 
have trust fund programs with provisions for sharing or 
reimbursing corrective action or remediation costs incurred by 
UST owners, including the Company.  These programs, other than 
the State of Iowa, generally are in the early stages of operation 
and the extent of available coverage or reimbursement under such 
programs for costs incurred by the Company is not fully known at 
this time.  In each of the years ended April 30, 1994 and 1993, 
the Company spent approximately $1,814,000 and $2,533,000, 
respectively, for assessments and remediation.  During the nine 
months ended January 31, 1995, the Company expended approximately 
$1,834,000 for such purposes.  Substantially all of these 
expenditures have been submitted for reimbursement from 
state-sponsored trust fund programs and as of January 31, 1995, 
approximately $3,600,000 has been received from such programs.  
The Company has accrued a liability at January 31, 1995 of 
approximately $3,200,000 for estimated expenses related to 
anticipated corrective actions or remediation efforts, including 
relevant legal and consulting costs.  Management believes the 
Company has no material joint and several environmental liability 
with other parties.

     Management of the Company currently estimates that aggregate 
capital expenditures for electronic monitoring, cathodic 
protection and overfill/spill protection will approximate 
$2,000,000 in fiscal 1995 through December 23, 1998, in order to 
comply with the existing UST regulations.  Additional 
regulations, or amendments to the existing UST regulations, could 
result in future revisions to such estimated expenditures.  Such 
expenditures are expected to be funded as described above, and 
are not expected to adversely affect liquidity.

     THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1995 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS 
     ENDED JANUARY 31, 1994

     Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1995 increased by 
$26,741,681 (15.5%) over the comparable period in fiscal 1994.  
Retail gasoline sales increased by $17,114,963 (18.8%) as the 
number of gallons sold increased by 11,303,064 (12.1%) and the 
average retail price per gallon increased 6.0%.  During this same 
period, retail sales of grocery and general merchandise increased 
by $8,308,896 (12.8%) due to the addition of 59 new Company 
Stores and a greater number of stores in operation for at least 
three years.
<PAGE>
     Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 77.0% 
for the third quarter of fiscal 1995, compared to 76.8% for the 
comparable period in the prior year.  The gross profit margins on 
retail gasoline sales decreased (11.3%) during the third quarter 
of fiscal 1995 from the third quarter of the prior year (12.5%) 
due to the increase in wholesale gasoline costs during the 
quarter.  The gross profit margin per gallon also decreased (to 
$.1171) in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 from the comparable 
period in the prior year ($.1217).  These factors were offset by 
an increase in gross profits on retail sales of grocery and 
general merchandise (to 42.4%) from the comparable period in the 
prior year (41.4%).

     Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were 15.5% 
for the third quarter of fiscal 1995 compared to 16.3% for the 
comparable period in the prior year.  The decrease in operating 
expenses as a percentage of net sales was caused primarily by an 
increase in the number of gallons of gasoline sold, an increase 
in the average retail price per gallon and an increase in retail 
sales of grocery and general merchandise.

     Net income increased by $1,675,944 (41.4%).  The increase in 
net income was attributable primarily to the increase in gross 
profit margins on retail sales of grocery and general 
merchandise, an increase in the number of gallons of gasoline 
sold, lower operating expenses as a percentage of net sales, and 
an increased number of stores in operation for at least three 
years.

     NINE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1995 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS
     ENDED JANUARY 31, 1994

     Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1995 increased 
by $91,083,637 (16.5%) over the comparable period in fiscal 1994.  
Retail gasoline sales increased by $58,257,736 (20.4%) as the 
number of gallons sold increased by 41,033,023 (14.6%) and the 
average retail price per gallon increased 5.0%.  During this same 
period, retail sales of grocery and general merchandise increased 
by $29,092,953 (13.7%) due to the addition of 59 new Company 
stores and a greater number of stores in operation for at least 
three years.
                                                               
     Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 78.1% 
for the first nine months of fiscal 1995 compared to 78.1% for 
the comparable period in the prior year.  This result occurred 
because the gross profit margins on retail gasoline sales 
decreased (9.5%) during the first nine months of fiscal 1995 from 
the comparable period in the prior year (11.1%) due to the 
increase in wholesale gasoline costs during the period.  The 
gross profit margin per gallon also decreased in the first nine 
months of fiscal 1995 (to $.1017) from the comparable period in 
the prior year ($.1132).  However, these factors were offset by 
an increase in gross profits on retail sales of grocery and 
<PAGE>
general merchandise, particularly those on cigarettes, beer and 
soft drinks (to 41.4%), from the comparable period in the prior 
year (39.1%) due to the special 25th anniversary pricing on 
selected items during June and July of 1993.  

     Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were 14.3% 
for the first nine months of fiscal 1995 compared to 15.1% for 
the comparable period in the prior year.  The decrease in 
operating expenses as a percentage of net sales was caused 
primarily by an increase in the number of gallons of gasoline 
sold, an increase in the average retail price per gallon and an 
increase in retail sales of grocery and general merchandise.  

     Net income increased by $5,505,223 (38.8%).  The increase in 
net income was attributable primarily to the increase in gross 
profits on retail sales of grocery and general merchandise, an 
increase in the number of gallons of gasoline sold, lower 
operating expenses as a percentage of net sales and an increased 
number of stores in operation at least three years. 

     The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued 
Statement 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and 
Equity Securities."  Statement 115, effective for fiscal years 
beginning after December 15, 1993, expands the use of fair value 
accounting for those securities but retains the use of the 
amortized cost method for investments in debt securities that the 
reporting enterprise has the positive intent and ability to hold 
to maturity.  The Company anticipates its short-term and 
long-term investments will be classified as "held-to-maturity" 
securities and the financial statement impact will not be 
material to the financial statements.  The Company adopted 
Statement 115 in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 on a 
prospective basis.


                    PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

     The Company is the sole defendant in a class action lawsuit 
brought by five Iowa retail gasoline dealers and a trade 
association representing independent distributors and retailers 
of gasoline products within the State of Iowa, acting on behalf 
of a class of such dealers.  The Amended and Substituted 
Complaint - Class Action (the "Bathke Complaint"), filed in the 
United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa 
(GILBERT BATHKE, ET. AL. V. CASEY'S GENERAL STORES, INC., Civil 
No. 4-90-CV-80658), alleged that by selling gasoline at "very low 
prices which are supported by higher prices charged for the same 
petroleum products in other markets," the Company violated 
federal anti-trust laws (specifically, Section 2(a) of the 
<PAGE>
Robinson-Patman Act and Section 2 of the Sherman Act) and State 
of Iowa unfair price discrimination laws.  The Bathke Complaint 
sought as relief a permanent injunction enjoining such practices, 
unspecified monetary damages (to be trebled as provided by law) 
and attorneys' fees.  

     Following the completion of formal discovery activities, the 
Court granted the Company's motion for summary judgment seeking 
the dismissal of all counts of the Bathke Complaint in an Order 
entered on October 14, 1994.  The Court dismissed the federal 
antitrust claims with prejudice and dismissed the State unfair 
price discrimination claim without prejudice, concluding that 
there was an "insuffucient basis in economic reality and 
substantive federal law for the plaintiffs' theories."  

     Plaintiffs have appealed the dismissal of the Bathke 
Complaint to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis, 
Missouri.  Briefs have been filed with that Court and the Company 
expects the matter to be argued during the summer of 1995.  A 
decision, however, is currently not expected until late 1995.  
Management does not believe that the Company is liable to 
plaintiffs for the conduct complained of and intends to contest 
the matter vigorously.  

     The Company from time to time is a party to other legal 
proceedings arising from the conduct of its business operations, 
including proceedings relating to personal injury and employment 
claims, disputes under franchise agreements and claims by state 
and federal regulatory authorities relating to the sale of 
products pursuant to state or federal licenses or permits.  
Management does not believe that the potential liability of the 
Company with respect to such other proceedings pending as of the 
date of this Form 10-Q is material in the aggregate.

$7,500,000                                   Kansas City, Missouri
And Interest                                 December 30, 1994



     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned promises to pay to the 
order of UMB Bank, n.a. (hereinafter called "Bank"), at its main 
office in Kansas City, Missouri, the principal sum of Seven 
Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,500,000) in quarterly 
installments of principal plus interest payable as follows:  
$312,500 plus accrued interest on the first day of April, 1995 and 
$312,500 plus accrued interest on the first day of each succeeding 
July, October, January and April through and including October 1, 
1997 and a final payment in the amount of $4,062,500 plus accrued 
interest on January 1, 1998 until the whole sum is fully paid with 
interest from date at the rate per annum of 125 basis points over 
the UMB Federal Funds Rate, adjusted on the first day of each 
calendar quarter.  For purposes hereof, the UMB Federal Funds Rate 
is that rate which the Bank states from time to time to be the UMB 
Federal Funds Rate.  If any of said installments are not paid when 
due, then all remaining installments shall immediately become due 
and payable.  Interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of 
days elapsed and assuming a 360-day year.  Each installment shall 
be applied first to payment of accrued interest and then to 
reduction of the principal sum.  This Note shall bear interest 
after maturity at a rate 2% greater than the rate otherwise 
payable hereon.

     Upon the occurrence of any of the following events: failure 
of the undersigned to pay any amount due hereunder when the same 
is due and payable; failure of the undersigned to pay or perform 
any other obligation of the undersigned to the holder hereof; the 
dissolution of or termination of existence of the undersigned; the 
failure of the undersigned to pay its debts as they mature; the 
appointment of a receiver for any part of the property of the 
undersigned, and an assignment for the benefit of the creditors of 
the undersigned, or the commencement of any proceedings under 
bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against the undersigned, then 
this Note and all other obligations of the undersigned to the Bank 
shall immediately become due and payable in full without notice or 
demand.
<PAGE>
     The Bank's acceptance of the partial payment of any sum due 
hereunder after any event of default or after maturity hereof 
shall not prevent the Bank from exercising its rights granted in 
this Note or any other documents or by applicable law and shall 
not rescind, waive or otherwise affect any acceleration or any 
other exercise by the Bank of any of its rights hereunder or 
thereunder.  The undersigned agrees that time is of the essence.  
If any provision of this Note violates the law or is in any way 
unenforceable, all other provisions of this Note shall remain 
valid.

     The undersigned shall furnish to the Bank such information 
and reports regarding the undersigned's financial condition and

     RE:  $7,500,000 Term Loan
          
Dear Mr. Dierks:

     Pursuant to your commitment letter of December 2, 1994, this 
will set forth the agreement between Casey's General Stores, Inc. 
(the "Company") and UMB Bank, n.a. (the "Bank") with respect to 
the additional covenants that the Company will abide by during the 
term of the $7,500,000 Term Loan extended to the Company by the 
Bank as of December 30, 1994 (the "Loan").  

     The Company agrees, for so long as the Loan remains 
outstanding, to abide by the covenants set forth in Sections 6.1 
through 6.9 and 7.1 through 7.10, inclusive, of the Note Agreement 
dated as of February 1, 1993 between the Company and Principal 
Mutual Life Insurance Company and Nippon Life Insurance Company of 
America with respect to the Company's 7.70% Senior Notes due

Default under the Note Agreement dated February 1, 1993

changing the covenants listed above.  The financial information 
and reports referred to in Section 6.6 of the Note Agreement will 
be furnished to the Bank at the times and as set forth therein.


                                   Sincerely,
