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 is made to the financial 
statements contained in the Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended 
June 30, 1996 of Scientific Industries, Inc., and the information under the 
heading "the Company."

The statements as of and for the three and six months ended December 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:

                                   December 31,
                                        1996   
                                   
     Raw Materials                     $    218,800      
     Work in process                         26,300
     Finished Goods                           3,700
                                       ------------                     
                                       $    248,800
                                       ============
3.     Net income per share:

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.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's working capital increased to $1,375,100 at December 31, 1996 
from $1,304,400 at June 30, 1996 attributable primarily to an increase in 
income from operations.   Management believes that funds generated from 
operations and existing cash and investment securities balances will be 
sufficient to support  the Company's operational requirements for at least one 
year.



Results of Operations

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

Net sales increased $98,000 (15.4%) for the three month period ended December 
31, 1996 compared with the three month period ended December 31, 1995 as a 
result of increased demand for our existing laboratory products during this 
quarter.  The gross profit percentage for the three month period ended 
December 31, 1996 of 36.9% decreased from 40.3% for the comparable period last 
year as a result of higher material costs.
 
Research and development expenses for the three month period ended December 
31, 1996 were $47,600 compared to $8,000 in the comparable period last year as 
a result of the establishment of a Research and Development department.  The 
Company expects to market and have available for delivery the new line of 
centrifuge products at the end of this fiscal year along with other new 
laboratory products.

Income before income taxes for the three month period ended December 31, 1996 
of $35,100 compared with $65,900 for the three month period ended December 31, 
1995 decreased $30,800 (46.7%) mainly due to increased research and 
development costs.


The Six Months Ended December 31, 1996 Compared With Six Months Ended December 
31, 1995.

Net sales increased $255,400 (20.1%) for the six month period ended December 
31, 1996 compared with the six month period ended December 31, 1995 as a 
result of increased demand for our existing laboratory products during the 
period.  The gross profit percentage for the six month period ended December 
31, 1996 of 38.7% compared to the gross profit percentage of 38.4% for the six 
month period ended December 31, 1995 remained relatively the same as a result 
of higher material costs during the second quarter partially offset by higher 
sales during this first half of the current year.

General and administrative expenses for the six month period ended December 
31, 1996 of $357,300 increased $18,500 (5.5%) compared with $338,800 for the 
six month period ended December 31, 1995 due to normal increases in salaries, 
insurance, and depreciation.

Selling expenses increased $17,500 (54.0%)to $49,900 for the six month period 
ended December 31, 1996 compared with $32,400 for the same period last year as 
a result of market research expenses pertaining to the new line of centrifuge 
products and a promotional rebate program for our existing laboratory 
products. 

Research and development expenses for the six month period ended December 31, 
1996 were $84,300 compared to $8,000 in the comparable period last year as a 
result of the establishment of a Research and Development department.  The 
Company expects to market and have available for delivery the new line of 
centrifuge products at the end of this fiscal year along with other laboratory 
products.  The Company anticipates that spending on research and development 
will continue at approximately the same level as the first half of the current 
fiscal year.

$116,500 decreased $8,100 (6.5%) compared with $124,600 for the six month
