               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.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

The foregoing information for the periods ended March 31, 1996, and April 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 First Quarter 1996 and 1995

         Net sales decreased by $853,000 from $17,962,000 to $17,109,000.

         Gross margins as a percentage of sales decreased from 29% to 21%,
primarily due to a combination of a less favorable product mix and less
favorable manufacturing variances.

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

         Earnings before provision for income taxes decreased $778,000 from
$2,674,000 to $1,896,000. The provision for income taxes decreased from $127,000
to ($34,000), and the effective income tax rate decreased from 5% to (2%), as a
result of negative earnings subject to tax. Net earnings decreased $617,000 from
$2,547,000 to $1,930,000, or 24%.

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