                             RAVEN INDUSTRIES, INC.
                   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
     accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim
     financial information and 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 notes required
     by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for
     complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
     adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered
     necessary for a fair representation have been included. Financial results
     for the three and six-month periods ended July 31, 2000 are not necessarily
     indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending January
     31, 2001. The January 31, 2000 consolidated balance sheet was derived from
     audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required
     by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These
     financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
     financial statement and notes included in the company's annual report on
     Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2000.

2.   Certain reclassifications have been made to the July 31, 1999 consolidated
     balance sheet to conform to the current year presentation. These
     reclassifications had no impact on stockholders' equity or the company's
     results of operations.

3.   Options to purchase 266,300 and 242,100 shares of the Company's common
     stock were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations for
     the periods ended July 31, 1999 and July 31, 2000, respectively, because
     their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the
     company's common stock during those periods. Details of the earnings per
     share computation are presented below (in thousands, except per share
     data):

4.   The company's three reportable segments (Electronics, Plastics and Sewn
     Products) are 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 within
     segments. These segments' results are shown below.

5.   During the second quarter of fiscal 2001, the company committed to a plan
     to sell its Plastic Tank division, part of the company's Plastics Segment.
     Accordingly, the non-current assets of these operations of $4,779,000,
     consisting primarily of property, plant, equipment and certain intangible
     assets, were reclassified as assets held for sale as of July 31, 2000.  In
     addition, the company is selling certain current assets of the division.
     The Plastic Tank division is expected to be sold during the company's third
     quarter of fiscal 2001. Based on signed letters of intent, the cash
     proceeds of the sale are expected to be approximately $11.5 million,
     resulting in an expected after-tax gain on the sale of approximately $1.5
     million to be recognized in the company's third quarter.  Certain
     liabilities of the company will be assumed by the buyers.  In August 2000,
     the company did sell certain net assets of the Plastic Tank division and
     received approximately $11.0 million at the closing. Sales and operating
     income (before allocation of certain administrative expense) of the
     company's Plastic Tank division were approximately $10.8 million and
     $830,000, respectively, for the six month period ended July 31, 2000 and
     $18.2 million and $100,000, respectively for the year ended January 31,
     2000.

6.   In June 2000, the company entered into a new agreement with Norwest Bank
     South Dakota, N.A. (Norwest) to increase the short-term credit line to $7.0
     million. The terms of this credit line are similar to the $5.0 million line
     with Norwest that expired on June 30, 2000. At July 31, 2000, the company
     had borrowings of $3.5 million outstanding under this line of credit.

                         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 was $2.0 million at July 31,
2000, compared with $1.8 million one year earlier. As of July 31, 2000, the
company's long term debt, including the current portion, was $3.0 million
compared to $4.6 million the prior year. The company obtained short term
financing in the amount of $3.5 million during the second quarter of fiscal year
2001 in order to help fund the repurchase of common shares. At July 31, 2000,
the company retained an unused balance of $3.5 million on its $7.0 million line
of credit. During the second quarter, the company repurchased 330,500 shares of
its common stock. The average purchase price was $13.61 per share for a total
cost of $4.5 million. The company purchased 551,200 shares at an average
purchase price of $13.51 for a total of $7.4 million during the six months ended
July 31, 2000. Inventory levels decreased $6.4 million from the July 31, 1999
level due primarily to the sale of the assets of the Glasstite subsidiary and
the sale of the skiwear line in fiscal 2000.

As described in footnote 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the sale of
the assets of the company's Plastic Tank Division is expected to be completed
during the third quarter ending October 31, 2000. These transactions should
generate approximately $9 million of cash after income taxes are paid. In
addition, certain liabilities of the company will be assumed by the buyers.
After repaying its short term borrowings, the company intends to use the
proceeds to expand its core businesses and repurchase its own shares. The
company's capital resources continue to be sufficient to fund all its
activities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales were $32.4 million for the quarter ended July 31, 2000, down $4.6 million
from the previous year's results. The decrease was due to the sale of the
company's Glasstite subsidiary in fiscal year 2000, which contributed $6.1
million of sales in the prior year's second quarter. After adjusting last year's
results for the Glasstite sale, sales increased $1.5 million this quarter. The
Plastics segment generated sales increases over last year for the second
quarter. After adjusting last year's operating income for Glasstite's
contribution of $788,000, operating income for the first six months was 4
percent higher than the prior year. Net income for the second quarter decreased
$.6 million from $1.8 million one year earlier. The decrease was due to the sale
of the Glasstite subsidiary combined with lower sales and production
efficiencies in the Electronics segment. Earnings per share, on a diluted basis,
were 34 cents a share, compared to 40 cents a share in the second quarter of
last year. For the first six months of the year, net income was $2.9 million, or
78 cents per diluted share, versus $3.3 million, or 71 cents per diluted share,
last year.

Electronics segment sales of $11.0 million in the second quarter were $953,000
below the same period last year. Sales of feedmill automation systems fell
$523,000 due to a downturn in the agricultural market demand for new systems.
Lower contract electronic sales were a result of an unexpected decline in demand
from a PC-board customer. The Electronics segment experienced an operating loss
during the quarter of $395,000, compared to operating income of $716,000 for the
same period last year. The lower sales and additional one-time costs in the new
Sioux Falls Electronics facility caused the loss of earnings. For the first six
months, sales totaled $25.1 million compared to $24.8 million for the same
period in fiscal 2000. Operating income for the first half of fiscal 2001 was
$1.1 million, down $520,000 from the prior year. The six-month decrease in
earnings is primarily due to the shortfalls in the second quarter, partially
offset by strong shipments of flow control devices to the agricultural market in
the first quarter of the current fiscal year.

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


Plastics segment sales of $15.1 million in the quarter ended July 31, 2000
compared to $19.4 million last year, and $13.3 million after adjusting for
Glasstite's second quarter fiscal 2000 sales, or an increase in Plastic segment
sales of $1.8 million. The sales increase was the result of increased market
share in our engineered films product line and a rebounding demand for
dual-laminate tanks in the semiconductor industry. Plastics segment operating
income for the second quarter was $2.1 million, a 24 percent increase above the
prior year. Excluding Glasstite's contribution of $407,000 in the first six
months of fiscal 2000, operating income was up 64 percent from the prior year.
The improvements in operating income are primarily due to better plant
utilization from increased sales volume. Plastics segment sales for the first
half of fiscal 2001 were $29.1 million compared to $38.0 million in fiscal 2000.
First half sales in fiscal 2001 were up 11 percent after adjusting for Glasstite
sales in the prior year's first half. Operating income was up 38 percent from
the prior fiscal year results of $2.5 million, after adjusting for the Glasstite
sale of $3.4 million.

Sewn Products segment sales of $6.3 million for the second quarter were $629,000
above the $5.7 million recorded in the same period last year. Year-to-date sales
of $9.8 million were 13 percent above the first half results of fiscal 2000. For
the quarter, operating income was $131,000 compared to $387,000 the prior year,
and year-to-date operating loss was $52,000, compared to operating income of
$204,000 in last year's first half. This segment continued to experience
offshore competitive pressures. The first half of the year is the seasonal low
for the Sewn Products segment.

Consolidated gross profits of $5.2 million in the second quarter were $1.4
million below the second quarter of last year. The first six months generated
gross profits of $11.4 million compared to $12.6 million the prior year. Selling
expenses were down $288,000 for the quarter and $487,000 in the first half of
fiscal 2001 due to the sale of the Glasstite subsidiary and the skiwear line.
Administrative expenses were down $198,000 for the quarter and $84,000 on a
year-to-date basis, due again primarily to the sale of the Glasstite subsidiary.
Second quarter pretax income of $1.8 million was $1.0 million below the same
period last year. The pretax income for the first six months was $4.5 million
compared to $5.1 million last year. These results generated a 10 percent
increase in year-to-date earnings per diluted share, rising from 71 cents in
fiscal 2000 to 78 cents in fiscal 2001. The increase in earnings per share
results from fewer shares outstanding. The company repurchased 1,037,109 shares
from July 1999 to July 2000.
