                 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 nine months ended March 31, 1997 
and 1996 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, 1997   
                                   
     Raw Materials                     $    318,500      
     Work in process                         32,900
     Finished Goods                          34,200
                                       ------------
                                       $    385,600
                                       ============
3.     Net income (loss) per share:

Income (loss) 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, where applicable.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's working capital increased to $1,355,000 at March 31, 1997 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 March 31, 1997 Compared With Three Months Ended March 
31, 1996.

Net sales remained relatively the same for the three month period ended March 
31, 1997 compared with the three month period ended March 31, 1996.  The gross 
profit percentage for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 of 36.8% 
approximated the gross profit of  36.0% for the comparable period last year.  
Sales for the third quarter were lower than expected as a result of 
operational difficulties at two vendors which have been resolved.  
Consequently, sales are expected to increase during the fourth quarter based 
on the comparatively high sales backlog of $317,600 at the end of the third 
quarter. 

Research and development expenses for the three month period ended  March 31, 
1997 were $76,800 compared to $24,300 in the comparable period last year as a 
result of the establishment of a Research and Development Department and 
increased research and development activity.  As previously reported, the 
Company is investing a significant portion of its operational income in 
research and development activities as part of its overall plan for growth.  
The Company anticipates that spending on research and development in the 
fourth quarter will continue at approximately the level as that of the third 
quarter.

The Company expects to have available for delivery a new laboratory product 
accessory by the end of this fiscal year.  Another laboratory apparatus within 
the laboratory products line is expected to be available in the fall.  The new 
line of centrifuge products is now expected to be available at the end of 
calendar year 1997.

The Company incurred a loss before income tax credit for the three month 
period ended March 31, 1997 of $42,900 compared with income before income 
taxes of $9,500 for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 mainly due to 
increased research and development costs. 


The Nine Months Ended March 31, 1997 Compared With Nine Months Ended March 31, 
1996.

Net sales increased $244,700 (12.8%) for the nine month period ended March 31, 
1997 compared with the nine month period ended March 31, 1996 as a result of 
higher sales during the first half of the fiscal year due to increased demand 
for existing laboratory products.  The gross profit percentage for the nine 
month period ended March 31, 1997 of 38.2% approximated the gross profit of 
37.6% for the nine month period ended March 31, 1996.

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS



Selling expenses increased $17,000 (28.4%)to $76,900 for the nine month period 
ended March 31, 1997 compared with $59,900 for the same period last year as a 
result of market research expenses for the new products and a promotional 
rebate program for our existing laboratory products. 

Research and development expenses for the nine month period ended March 31, 
1997 were $161,100 compared to $32,300 in the comparable period last year as a 
result of the establishment of a Research and Development Department and 
increased research and development activity.   As previously reported, the 
Company is investing a significant portion of its operational income in 
research and development activities as part of its overall plan for growth. 

Income before income taxes for the nine month period ended March 31, 1997 of 
$73,600 decreased $60,500 (45.1%) compared with $134,100 for the nine month 
period ended March 31, 1996.  The decrease was mainly due to research and 
development costs, partially offset by higher sales during the first half of 
this fiscal year.
