              SCIENTIFIC INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

General:   As contemplated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
accompanying financial statements and footnotes have been condensed and
therefore do not contain all financial statements and disclosures
required by generally accepted accounting principles.  Reference should
be made to the Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended June
30, 1995 of Scientific Industries, Inc., the  Company.  

The statements as of and for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 and
1995 are unaudited.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments have
been made to present fairly the results of such unaudited interim
periods.
     
1.   Significant accounting policies:

     Principles of consolidation:

     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the
     accounts of Scientific Industries, Inc. and Scientific Packaging
     Industries, Inc. (a 100% owned subsidiary).  All intercompany items and
     transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2.   Inventories:
     
     Inventories for interim financial statement purposes are computed by
     costing sales made during the applicable periods.  Management has
     estimated the components of inventory to be as follows:

                                        March 31,
                                            1996

     Raw materials                      $216,300
     Work in process                      61,700
     Finished goods                       19,500

                                        $297,500

3.   Net income per share:                   

     Net income per share of Common Stock is computed on the basis of the
     weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect
     of stock options.



                                       
                                       
                                       
                                       
                                       
                                       
                                       
                                       
                         SCIENTIFIC INDUSTRIES, INC.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's working capital increased $35,600 to $1,340,300 at March 31,
1996 from $1,304,700 at June 30, 1995.   Management believes that the
Company's working capital will be sufficient to meet the Company's
operational requirements through the next twelve months.


Results of Operations

The Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 Compared With Three Months Ended
March 31, 1995.

Net sales for the three month period ended  March 31, 1996 ($638,400) were
just $6,500 lower than the three month period ended March 31, 1995
($644,900). The gross profit margin for the three month period ended March
31, 1996 of 36.0% increased slightly from the gross profit margin for the
comparable period last year (34.0%). Due to increased material and labor
costs as well as other miscellaneous overhead expenses, gross profit
margins decreased from the prior quarter.  We do not expect
a significant decrease in the gross profit margin the last quarter of the
year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three month period
ended March 31, 1996 increased $27,300 (15.5%) compared to the same period
last year mainly as a result of approximately $16,000 in market research
expenses pertaining to the new product line and, to a lesser extent,
increases in salaries, insurance, etc. Management expects to incur
additional market research and advertising expenses for the new product line. 

Research and development expenses for the three month period ended March 31,
1996 were $24,300 compared to none for the same period last year as a result
of the research and development activities conducted relating to the new
product line.  The Company expects to invest a significant amount of its
working capital in research and development activities to further refine the
new product line, develop accessory parts for the Vortex-Genie Mixers and
other potential new products.  As a result, there will be a significant
future impact on our profitability.

Income before income taxes for the three month period ended March 31, 1996
($9,500) compared with the three month period ended March 31, 1995 ($60,100)
decreased $50,600 mainly due to the increases in selling, general and
administrative expenses and research and development expenses as discussed
in the paragraphs above.


The Nine Months Ended March 31, 1996 Compared With Nine Months Ended March
31, 1995.

Net sales decreased $60,500 (3.1%) for the nine month period ended March 31,
1996 compared with the nine month period ended March 31, 1995.  At this
time, we have no reason to believe that this is a trend for the future.
The gross profit margin for the nine month period ended March 31, 1996
of 37.6% decreased from the gross profit margin for the comparable period
last year (39.9%).  The decrease is primarily due to increased material
costs, labor costs, and other miscellaneous overhead expenses and slightly
lower sales volume.

                         SCIENTIFIC INDUSTRIES, INC.
                                       
Management believes that decreased profit margins will probably continue in
the future due to the fact that higher material costs cannot all be totally
absorbed within our pricing structure.  This is a result of the demand for
medical cost containment within the industry.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine month period ended
March 31, 1996 compared with the nine month period ended March 31, 1995
increased $35,400 (6.6%) mainly as a result of market research expenses
pertaining to the new product line and, to a lesser extent, increases in
salaries, insurance, etc.  Management expects to incur additional market
research and advertising expenses for the new product line.

Research and development expenses for the nine month period ended March 31,
1996 were $32,300 compared to none for the same period last year as a result
of the research and development activities conducted relating to the new
product line.  The Company expects to continue investing significantly in
its research and development activities to refine the thermo-electrically
cooled centrifuge products, as well as improvement of existing products
and potential new products.  Management now expects shipment of the new
product line to take place during fiscal 1997.
  
Income before income taxes for the nine month period ended March 31, 1996
($134,100) compared with the nine month period ended March 31, 1995
($275,300) decreased $141,200 resulting from a combination of somewhat 
lower sales, higher selling, general and administrative expenses, and
research and development expenses as discussed above.
