                     RAVEN INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


1.       The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
         prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
         for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
         10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange
         Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the
         information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
         principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
         management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
         considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
         Operating results for the three month period ended April 30, 1997 are
         not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
         year ending January 31, 1998. For further information, refer to the
         consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
         Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31,
         1997.


2.       In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
         Statement No. 128 "Earnings per Share," which the Company will adopt
         effective for its fiscal 1998 year end reporting. The Company will be
         required to report basic net income per share based on weighted average
         common shares outstanding, without considering common equivalent
         shares, and diluted net income per share based on weighted average
         common and common equivalent shares outstanding. Diluted net income per
         share would be equivalent to the Company's current reporting of net
         income per common and common-equivalent share.

                         PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The company's cash balance was $2.1 million at April 30, 1997 and was $266,000
higher than one year earlier. For the first three months of the current fiscal
year the company's cash flow from operations was $906,000; a $963,000
improvement over the comparable period in the prior year. Higher earnings and
collection of year-end accounts receivable balances accounted for much of the
improvement. Accounts receivable balances at April 30, 1997 were $4.4 million
higher than one year earlier due primarily to the higher sales level. The
company's capital resources continue to be sufficient to fund all operating and
investing activities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First quarter records were set for sales and net income during the quarter ended
April 30, 1997. Sales increased by 16 percent over the previous record set one
year earlier and totaled $35.7 million. Net income of $2.1 million was 18
percent higher than the comparable period of the prior year. Earnings per share
of $.44 increased 16 percent. The number of average shares outstanding increased
by 121,000 due primarily to the issuance of shares in connection with the
purchase of Norcore Plastics, Inc. in January 1997. Sales and operating income
increased in every business segment.

Electronics segment sales of $12.2 million in the first quarter were up one
percent over the first quarter of the prior year. Sales of flow control devices
for precision farming increased slightly, but were nearly $1 million below
management expectations as new product introductions did not result in
additional sales. Feedmill automation and contract manufacturing revenues were
relatively flat. First quarter Electronics segment operating income of $2.0
million was 13 percent higher than the comparable period of the prior year.
Operating income for the quarter ended April 30, 1996 was reduced by start-up
costs related to product introductions and new contract manufacturing customers.

Plastics segment sales were $17.9 million in the quarter ended April 30, 1997,
compared to $14.0 million one year earlier. The acquisition of Norcore Plastics,
Inc. in January 1997 contributed $2.7 million to revenues. Sales of plastic
tanks, flexible films and pickup-truck toppers all increased. Operating income
in this segment was $987,000 in the first quarter, a one percent increase over
the prior year's first quarter. The impact of higher sales was substantially
offset by business integration costs and production inefficiencies, resulting in
a lower gross profit rate.

Sewn Products segment sales of $5.6 million in the first quarter were at their
seasonal low point and were 14 percent higher than the comparable period of the
prior year. The higher sales and production efficiencies raised operating income
from $85,000 last year in the first quarter to $306,000 this year.

Consolidated gross profits increased by 12 percent over the first quarter of the
prior year. Gross profit rate increases in the Electronics and Sewn Products
segments were offset by a decline in the Plastics segment. The first quarter
consolidated gross profit rate was 19.7 percent last year and 19.1 percent this
year. Selling and administrative expenses declined from 10.6 percent of sales to
9.9 percent. The profit impact of higher sales increased first quarter operating
and net income by 16 and 18 percent, respectively, when compared to the first
quarter of the prior year.
