               NATIONAL PRESTO INDUSTRIES, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE A

Earnings per share are computed using the weighted average common shares
outstanding during each period, and in 1995 included common equivalent shares
assuming conversion of the convertible debenture. In 1995 earnings for
calculation of the per share data are adjusted to reflect addback of interest
expense on the convertible debenture.

NOTE B

Update to Footnote L to the 1995 Annual Report -- During the second quarter the
Army entered into an agreement with the Company obligating the additional
$15,000,000 in environmental restoration funds for the Eau Claire, Wisconsin,
site. As of this filing, the Company has been reimbursed from these funds for
the $10,300,000 in environmental costs it had previously advanced.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

The foregoing information for the periods ended June 30, 1996, and July 2, 1995,
is unaudited; however, in the opinion of management of the Registrant, it
reflects all the adjustments, which were of a normal recurring nature, necessary
for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1995, is summarized from audited
consolidated financial statements, but does not include all the disclosures
contained therein and should be read in conjunction with the 1995 Annual Report.
Interim results for the period are not indicative of those for the year.



MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Comparison Second Quarter 1996 and 1995

         Net sales increased by $1,088,000 from $15,882,000 to $16,970,000,
primarily due to new product introductions.

         Gross margins as a percentage of sales decreased from 28% to 26%,
primarily due to a less favorable product mix.

         The Company accrues unexpended advertising costs budgeted for the year
against each quarter's sales. Major advertising commitments are incurred in
advance of the expenditures, and the timing of sales through dealers and
distributors to the ultimate customer does not permit specific identification of
the customers' purchase to the actual time an advertisement appears. Advertising
charges included in selling expense in each quarter represent that percentage of
the annual advertising budget associated with that quarter's shipments.
Revisions to this budget result in periodic changes to the accrued liability for
committed advertising expenditures.

         Other income decreased from the 1995 level primarily as a result of
lower interest income stemming from reduced yields on a lower level of invested
funds.

         Earnings before provision for income taxes decreased $221,000 from
$2,671,000 to $2,450,000. The provision for income taxes increased from $174,000
to $214,000, and the effective income tax rate increased from 7% to 9%, as a
result of a larger proportion of earnings subject to tax. Net earnings decreased
$261,000 from $2,497,000 to $2,236,000, or 10%.

         The Company maintains adequate liquidity for all of its anticipated
capital requirements. As of quarter-end, there were no material capital
commitments outstanding.

Comparison of the First Six Months 1996 and 1995

         Net sales increased by $235,000 from $33,844,000 to $34,079,000,
primarily due to new product introductions.

         Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased from 29% to 23%,
primarily due to a combination of a less favorable product mix and less
favorable manufacturing variances.

         The accrual for unexpended advertising costs discussed in the Second
Quarter comparison also applies to the first six months.

         Other income decreased from the 1995 level primarily as a result of
lower interest income stemming from reduced yields on a lower level of invested
funds, offset in part by the first quarter recognition of income from concluded
legal matters ($476,000).

         Earnings before provision for income taxes decreased $999,000 from
$5,345,000 to $4,346,000, or 19%. The effective income tax rate decreased from
6% to 4%, as a result of decreased earnings subject to tax. Net earnings
decreased $878,000 from $5,044,000 to $4,166,000, or 17%.


                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 6.  Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K

              (a)  Exhibit 11 - Statement Regarding Computation of Per
                                Share Earnings

              (b)  There were no reports on Form 8-K filed during the quarter
                   for which this report is filed.
