                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (unaudited)


1.   The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
     prepared by Raven Industries, Inc. (the company) 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, 1999 are not necessarily
     indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending January
     31, 2000. The January 31, 1999 balance sheet was derived from audited
     financial statements, but does not include all disclosure required by
     generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements should
     be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
     thereto included in the company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year
     ended January 31, 1999.

2.   Outstanding options for the three months ended 04/30/99, were excluded from
     the diluted earnings per share calculation because the exercise price was
     greater than the average market price of the company's common stock during
     that period. Details of the earnings per share computation are presented
     below (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

3.   The company's three segments (Electronics, Plastics, and Sewn Products)
     were defined by their common technologies, raw materials, and production
     processes. These segments are consistent with the company's management
     reporting structure. The company's customers (distributors or original
     equipment manufacturers) provide opportunities for each segment to serve
     various markets. Distribution methods are similar across and with segments.
     These segments, whose results are shown below, are Electronics, whose
     principal products include industrial controls, computerized flow control
     hardware and software, and printed circuit boards and assemblies; Plastics,
     providing plastic films, large-volume plastic and fiberglass tanks, and
     fiberglass pick-up truck toppers; and Sewn Products, providing
     superior-performance outerwear and sewn inflatables including hot-air
     balloons.

                         PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The company's cash and cash equivalents balance of $2.1 million at April 30,
1999, was $3.3 million less than January 31, 1999 and $395,000 more than April
30, 1998. The company has no short term borrowings at January 31, 1999 or at
April 30, 1999, which was down $4.0 million from April 30, 1998. The cash
balance as of January 31, 1999, was sufficient to fund the seasonal increases in
inventory levels. Inventory levels declined $956,000 from April 30, 1998, to
April 30, 1999, due primarily to lower projected sales in the Sewn Products
segment. From April 30, 1998, through April 30, 1999, the company repurchased
236,800 shares of its common stock for a total of $4.1 million, including $1.4
million in the quarter ended April 30, 1999. Funding the stock repurchases
increased long term debt, including the current portion, from $2.2 million at
April 30, 1998, to $4.6 million at April 30, 1999. The April 30, 1999, long-term
debt balance was $1.0 million less than January 31, 1999, balance because of
payments made during the first quarter. The company's capital resources continue
to be sufficient to fund all its activities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales for the quarter ended April 30, 1999, were $34.5 million, up $2.3 million
from the previous year's results. April year-to-date net income of $1.4 million
was $415,000 greater than the first quarter results last year. First quarter
diluted earnings per share increased to $0.31, up from $0.21 for the same period
the previous year. The Plastics segment garnered the largest gains with an
increase in sales and net income of 13 percent and 188 percent, respectively.

Electronics segment sales of $12.9 million in the first quarter were 10 percent
higher than one year earlier. Contract electronics showed excellent gains during
the first quarter, logging a 71 percent increase in sales over last year's
totals, due primarily to heavy deliveries of a long term contract relating to
the computer industry. Sales of flow control devices declined by more than
$746,000 in the first quarter because of the continuing weakness in the
agricultural markets. Feedmill automation systems sales fell $512,000 due to the
timing of deliveries. The company does not expect these results to be
representative of the remainder of the year. Operating income was $866,000 in
the Electronics segment during the quarter, 30 percent lower than the comparable
period the prior year. Contract electronics experienced lower gross margins, due
to the highly competitive nature of the computer industry, along with
substantial start-up costs associated with this contract. Flow control devices
and feedmill automation systems logged lower operating profits which correspond
to the lower sales volume.

Plastics segment sales of $18.6 million in the quarter ended April 30, 1999,
were 13 percent higher than the first quarter of the previous year. The
engineered films and pickup truck topper product lines increased their first
quarter sales by $1.1 million and $1.2 million respectively compared to last
year. The plastic storage tank product line sales were slightly less than last
year due to weakness in the agricultural market. Plastics segment operating
profits for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 were $1.6 million, three times more
than the previous year. Improved gross profit rates on the balloon and
engineering product lines, plus favorable raw material purchases contributed
heavily to this increase.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                   (continued)


Sewn Products segment sales are typically at a seasonal low in the first quarter
of the fiscal year. Although the company is projecting lower sales totals for
the year due to offshore competition, the first quarter results are not expected
to be representative of the full year. First quarter sales of $3.0 million were
down from the $3.9 million recorded recorded in the first quarter of last year.
The lower sales generated in first quarter operating loss of $183,000, compared
with an operating loss of $172,000 in the prior year.

Consolidated gross profits of $6.0 million in the first quarter were 11 percent
higher than the prior year's first quarter, due primarily to the strong
performance of the Plastics segment. Selling expenses were 5 percent lower than
the prior year because of decreased selling staff. Administrative expenses were
less than 3 percent higher than the previous year, reflecting only the annual
wage adjustments. First quarter pretax income of $2.3 million was 41 percent
higher than the first quarter of the prior fiscal year. These results generated
a 48 percent increase in diluted earnings per share, rising from $0.21 in fiscal
1999 to $0.31 in fiscal 2000. The average number of shares outstanding for the
first quarter ended April 30, 1999 were down 175,000 shares due to the company's
on-going repurchase of stock.

YEAR 2000

All of the company's business software has been changed to be 2000-compliant and
will be fully tested by July 1, 1999. The platform on which this software runs
is 2000-compliant. Production equipment is being checked and this procedure
should be completed by August 1, 1999. Building equipment has been checked, and
only one problem was found, which was correct in March of 1999. Since the
company does not run its primary business software on personal computers,
management does not expect any material problems from non-compliant personal
computers. Vendors and service providers are being surveyed to ensure that they
are 2000-compliant and will be able to continue to meet the company's demands.
