PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

The principal business of the Registrant is the design,
manufacture and installation of scientific and technical furniture. These
products are primarily sold through purchase orders and contracts submitted by
customers, through the Registrant's dealers and commissioned agents, a national
distributor, and through competitive bids submitted by the Registrant.

The Company's operations are classified into two business
segments: laboratory products and technical products. The laboratory products
segment principally designs, manufactures, and installs steel and wood
laboratory furniture, worksurfaces, and fume hoods. Laboratory products are sold
principally to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, industrial, chemical and
commercial research laboratories, educational institutions, health care
institutions, and governmental entities. The technical products segment
principally manufactures and sells technical furniture including network storage
systems, workstations, workbenches, computer enclosures, and related
accessories. Technical products are sold principally to manufacturing facilities
and users of computer and networking furniture. Financial information pertaining
to each of the Registrant's business segments is presented in Note 9, "Segment
Information," at page 25 of the Registrant's annual report to stockholders for
the year ended April 30, 2002, which Note is incorporated herein by reference.

It is common in the laboratory furniture industry for customer
orders to require delivery at extended future dates, because the products are
frequently to be installed in buildings yet to be constructed. Changes or delays
in building construction may cause delays in delivery of the orders. Since
prices are normally quoted on a firm basis in the industry, the Registrant bears
the burden of possible increases in labor and material costs between receipt of
an order and delivery of the product.

The need for working capital and the credit practices of the
Registrant are comparable to those of other companies selling similar products
in similar markets. Payments for the Registrant's laboratory products are
received over longer periods of time than payments for many other types of
manufactured products, thus requiring increased working capital. In addition,
payment terms associated with certain projects provide for a retention amount
until completion of the project, thus also increasing required working capital.

The principal raw materials and products manufactured by
others used by the Registrant in its products are cold-rolled carbon and
stainless steel, hardwood lumber and plywood, paint, chemicals, resins,
hardware, plumbing and electrical fittings. Such materials and products are
purchased from multiple suppliers and are readily available.

The Registrant holds various patents and patent rights but
does not consider that its success or growth is dependent upon its patents or
patent rights. The Registrant's business is not dependent upon licenses,
franchises or concessions.

The Registrant's business is not cyclical, although sales are
sometimes lower during the Registrant's third quarter because of slower
construction activity in certain areas of the country during the winter months.
The Registrant's business is not dependent on any one or a few customers;
however, sales to VWR International represented 12 percent, 13 percent, and 11
percent of the Registrant's total sales in fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.

The Registrant's sales order backlog at April 30, 2002 was
$34.2 million, down from $35.5 million at April 30, 2001 and up from $31.5
million at April 30, 2000. All but $1.5 million of the backlog at April 30, 2002
was scheduled for shipment during fiscal year 2003; however, it may reasonably
be expected that delays in shipments will occur because of customer rescheduling
or delay in completion

3



of projects which involve the installation of the Registrant's products. Based
on past experience, the Registrant expects that more than 90 percent of its
backlog scheduled for shipment in fiscal year 2003 will be shipped during that
year.

Competition

The Registrant considers the industries in which it competes
to be highly competitive and believes that the principal competitive factors are
price, product performance, and customer service. A significant portion of the
business of the Registrant is based upon competitive public bidding.

Research and Development

The amount spent during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2002
on company-sponsored research and development activities related to new products
or services or improvement of existing products or services was $618,273. The
amounts spent for similar purposes in the fiscal years ended April 30, 2001 and
2000 were $742,860 and $783,046, respectively.

Environmental Compliance

In the last three fiscal years, compliance with federal, state
or local provisions enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials
into the environment has had no material effect on the Registrant. There are no
material capital expenditures anticipated for such purposes, and no material
effect therefrom is anticipated on the earnings or competitive position of the
Registrant.

Employees

The number of persons employed by the Registrant at April 30,
2002 was 609.

Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Reform Act"). Such

or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Registrant owns and operates three plants in Statesville,
North Carolina and one in Lockhart, Texas. The plants are involved in the
production of the Registrant's products.

The plants in Statesville, North Carolina are located in three
separate adjacent buildings, which contain manufacturing facilities and
warehouse space. Sales and marketing, administration, engineering and drafting
personnel and facilities are also located in each of the three buildings. The
Registrant's corporate offices are located in the largest building. The plant
buildings together comprise approximately 382,000 square feet and are located on
approximately 20 acres of land. In addition, at April 30, 2002, the Registrant
leased multiple warehouse facilities totaling 62,000 square feet in

4



Statesville, North Carolina. The Registrant has entered into an agreement to
lease a 100,000 square foot warehouse facility in Statesville once construction
of such facility is completed. The new facility is expected to be completed in
late calendar year 2002 and will replace the warehouse facilities leased by the
Registrant at April 30, 2002.

The plant in Lockhart, Texas is housed in a building of approximately
129,000 square feet located on approximately 30 acres. In addition, a separate
10,000 square foot office building on this site houses certain administrative
personnel.

All of the facilities which the Registrant owns are held free and clear
of any encumbrances. The Registrant believes its facilities are suitable for
their respective uses and are adequate for its current needs.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is involved in a legal dispute with Bernards Bros. Inc., a
former customer of the Company. The dispute is the subject of lengthy
arbitration proceedings completed in December 2000. The arbitration was the
result of a claim for unpaid contract amounts owed to the Registrant by Bernards
Bros. Inc. and a counter-claim by Bernards Bros. Inc. against the Registrant for
breach of contract, claiming that the Company unreasonably delayed Bernards
Bros. Inc.'s project. In fiscal year 2001, the Company recorded a charge of
$391,000, including an estimated liability of $134,000 for final settlement of
the matter, based on its interpretation of the Arbitrator's award. In fiscal
year 2002, pursuant to a Petition to Confirm Arbitration Award in Los Angeles
Superior Court, a judgment was issued against the Company in this matter for
approximately $1.3 million. The Company believes that the judgment entered by
the trial court is inconsistent with the Arbitrator's award, and the Company
intends to vigorously contest such judgment. The Company has filed an appeal
with the Court of Appeals of the State of California (Bernards Bros. v. Kewaunee
Scientific, et. al. Appellate Case No. B 152623) regarding this judgment. If
appeal efforts are unsuccessful, the Company could be liable up to the amount of
the judgment.

From time to time, the Registrant is involved in certain other disputes
and litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations in the ordinary
course of business. Further, the Registrant periodically is subject to
government audits and inspections. The Registrant believes that any such matters
presently pending will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material
adverse effect on the Registrant's results of operations or financial condition.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

Not Applicable.

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Incorporated by reference from the Registrant's annual report to
stockholders for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2002, page 28, sections
entitled "Range of Market Prices" and "Quarterly Financial Data". As of July 5,
2002, the Registrant estimates there were approximately 1,020 stockholders of
the Registrant's common shares, of which 289 were stockholders of record.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

Incorporated by reference from the Registrant's annual report to
stockholders for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2002, page 27, section entitled
"Summary of Selected Financial Data."

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Incorporated by reference from the Registrant's annual report to
stockholders for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2002, pages 10-13, section
entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis."

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Registrant is exposed to market risk in the area of interest
rates. This exposure is associated with amounts outstanding under a bank note,
certain lease obligations for production machinery, and any future advances
under the revolving credit loan, all of which are priced on a floating rate
basis. The Registrant believes that this exposure to market risk is not
material. The Registrant entered into an interest swap agreement in fiscal year
2002, whereby $1.5 million of the outstanding principal amount of the bank note
effectively converts to a fixed rate of 6.37%, beginning May 1, 2002. The
notional amount of this interest rate hedge is reduced in the same proportion as
the principal balance of the bank note over the remaining term of the bank note.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

Incorporated by reference from the Registrant's annual report to
stockholders for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2002, pages 14-26.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON
ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
