           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, 1997 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, 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:

3.  Earnings per share:

In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("EPS").  Statement No. 128
replaced the previously reported primary and fully diluted earnings per
share with net income per common share (basic) and net income per common share-
assuming dilution (diluted).  Net income per common share excludes common stock
equivalents, such as stock options, and is computed by dividing net income
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Net income per common share-assuming dilution, reflects the potential dilution
that could occur if common stock equivalents, such as stock options, were 
exercised.  All net income per share amounts for all periods have been restated
to conform to the Statement No. 128 requirement.

Options to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock at $1.75 per share were 
outstanding at March 31, 1997, but were not included in the 1997 computation
of diluted earnings per share because the options' exercise price was greater
than the average market price of the common shares.  The options, which expire
on September 1, 1998, were still outstanding at March 31, 1998.

The incremental shares from assumed exercise of stock options were not
included in the three month period ended March 1997 calculation because
including those shares would result in an anti-dilutive per share amount.

Dividends were not paid during 1998 or 1997.

                        SCIENTIFIC INDUSTRIES, INC.
                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's working capital increased to $1,546,600 at March 31, 1998 from
$1,424,800 at June 30, 1997 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, 1998 Compared With Three Months Ended March
31, 1997.

Net sales increased $292,400 (46.6%) for the three month period ended March
31, 1998 compared with the three month period ended March 31, 1997 as a result
of increased demand for our existing laboratory products.  The gross profit 
percentage for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 increased to 38.7%
from 36.8% for the comparable period last year as a result of increased sales
even though factory overhead increased. 

General and administrative expenses of $233,600 for the three month period
ended March 31, 1998 increased $55,900 (31.5%) from $177,700 for the comparable
period last year mainly as a result of expenses related to the pursuit of 
external business opportunities.

Selling expenses of $38,200 for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 
increased $11,200 (41.5%) from $27,000 for the comparable period last year as
a result of increased expenses under a promotional program for our existing 
laboratory products, and also as a result of marketing expenses for our new 
products.

Research and development expenses for the three month period ended  March 31,
1998 were $28,500 compared to $76,800 in the comparable period last year.  
The decrease of $48,300 (62.9%) was due to lower material expenditures because
the two new products previously reported (TurboMix attachment and Roto-Shake
Genie) went into production during the quarter.

Income before income taxes for the three month period ended March 31, 1998
was $65,800 compared to a loss before income tax credit for the three month 
period ended March 31, 1997 of $42,900.  The increase in income was mostly 
due to higher sales.

The Nine Months Ended March 31, 1998 Compared With Nine Months Ended March 
31, 1997.

Net sales increased $434,400 (20.2%) for the nine month period ended March 31,
1998 compared with the nine month period ended March 31, 1997 as a result of 
increased demand for existing laboratory products.  The gross profit percentage
for the nine month period ended March 31, 1998 of 39.4% increased from the 
gross profit of 38.2% for the nine month period ended March 31, 1997 due to 
increased sales even though factory overhead was higher.

General administrative expenses of $639,500 for the three month period ended
March 31, 1998 increased $104,500 (19.5%) from $535,000 for the comparable 
period last year mostly as a result of expenses related to the pursuit of 
external business opportunities.

Selling expenses increased $44,200 (57.5%)to $121,100 for the nine month
period ended March 31, 1998 compared with $76,900 for the same period last 
year as a result of increased expenses under a promotional program for our 
existing laboratory products, and also as a result of marketing expenses for 
our new products. 

Research and development expenses for the nine month period ended March 31,
1998 were $126,300 compared to $161,100 in the comparable period last year.  
The decrease of $34,800 (21.6%) was due to lower material expenditures because
the two new products previously reported (TurboMix attachment and Roto-Shake
Genie) went into production during the third quarter.

Income before income taxes for the nine month period ended March 31, 1998 of 
$162,500 increased $88,900 (120.8%) compared with $73,600 for the nine month 
period ended March 31, 1997.  The increase in income was mainly due to higher
sales.
