                 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 an 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, 1998 of Scientific 
                Industries, Inc., the "Company."

               The statements as of and for the three months ended September 
               30, 1998 and 1997 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:

                                                  September 30,
                                                       1998

                                                  =============
3.  Earnings Per Share:

    For the year ended June 30, 1998, the Company adopted Financial Accounting
    Standard No. 128, "Earning Per Share", which replaces the presentation of
    primary earnings per share ("EPS") and fully diluted EPS with a presentation
    of basic EPS and diluted EPS.  Basic EPS excludes common stock equivalents
    and is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by
    the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. 
    Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if common 
    stock equivalents such as stock options were exercised.  EPS data for all
    periods have been restated to conform to SFAS No. 128 requirement.

    Net income per common share was computed as follows:

                                        For the Three Month Periods Ended
                               September 30, 1998        September 30, 1997

Net income per common share-diluted  $      .05             $       .03


4.  Comprehensive Income:

    The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income", which requires classification of items of other 
comprehensive income in a financial statement and a display of the accumulated
balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and 
additional paid in capital in "Shareholders' Equity."  The Company did not 
report and display comprehensive income, because it does not have material 
items representing components of other comprehensive income.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company had working capital of $1,617,100 at September 30, 1998 which 
approximated the Company's working capital of $1,600,700 at June 30, 1998.  
Management believes that the Company's working capital will be sufficient to 
meet the Company's operational requirements for at least one year.


Results of Operations

The Three Months Ended September 30, 1998 Compared With Three Months Ended 
September 30, 1997.

Net sales increased $193,200 (26.7%) for the three month period ended 
September 30, 1998 compared with the three month period ended September 30, 1997
as a result of continued strong demand for our existing laboratory products 
and a temporary  labor shortage for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 
which resulted in lower sales for that quarter.  The gross profit percentage 
for the three month period ended September 30, 1998 of 38.2% approximated the
gross profit percentage for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998 (38.6%), 
however it was lower than the gross profit of 41.2% for the three month period 
ended September 30, 1997.  The decrease in the gross profit percentage for 
the quarter ended September 30, 1998 compared to the same quarter last
year is mostly due to higher labor and labor-related costs included in factory
overhead.

                 SCIENTIFIC INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY



General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 of
$198,500 increased $15,000 (8.2%) from $183,500 for the comparable quarter
last year. 
The increase was primarily due to expenses related to the pursuit of external 
business opportunities.
                                      
Research and development expenses for the three month period ended September 30,
1998 were $67,900 compared to $61,600 in the comparable period last year as a
result of increased research and development activities.

Income before income taxes of $70,800 for the three month period ended
September 30, 1998 increased $37,100 (110.1%) compared to $33,700 for the 
comparable quarter last year, primarily as a result of higher sales.
