PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS
- ------------------

GENERAL

The principal business of the Registrant is the manufacture and sale
of scientific laboratory and technical workstations and equipment for
professionals, including wood and steel furniture for use in chemistry, physics,
biology and other general science laboratories, and benches for electronic light
assembly and testing. Other products for laboratory use include fume hoods and
accessories, apparatus benches, worksurfaces, sinks and sink assemblies, and
glove boxes.

Scientific laboratory and technical workstations and equipment and
related installation accounted for 100 percent of the Registrant's sales in each
of the fiscal years ended April 30, 1996, 1995, and 1994.

The Registrant's products are sold principally to industrial and
commercial research laboratories, educational institutions, health-care
institutions and governmental entities. These products are primarily sold
through purchase orders and contracts submitted by customers, through the
Registrant's commissioned dealers, through a national distributor and through
competitive bids submitted by the Registrant. It is common in the scientific
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 further delayed delivery dates. 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 products which the Registrant manufactures and
installs are received over longer periods of time and require greater working
capital than for manufacturers of most products. In addition, payment terms of
some building projects allow for a percentage retention amount which extends the
collection period of accounts receivable, thus requiring more 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.

4


The Registrant's scientific laboratory and technical workstation and
equipment business is neither cyclical nor seasonal, nor is it dependent on any
one or a few customers. However, sales to VWR Corporation ("VWR Scientific")
represented 14 percent, 17 percent, and 13 percent of the Registrant's total
sales, for fiscal years 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively. VWR Scientific is a
distributor of the Registrant's products. In the event that VWR Scientific were
not a sales channel, the Registrant would distribute these products through its
other sales agents, dealers, and direct sales force or through another outside
distributor or distributors.

The Registrant's sales backlog as of April 30, 1996 was $23.2 million
compared to $24.1 million and $25.3 million as of April 30, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. In the Registrant's business, planning for purchases frequently
commences several years before installation; therefore, increases and decreases
in the business activities of the Registrant usually trail the normal economic
cycle. It is expected that the amount of the backlog as of the beginning of the
fiscal year, together with orders received for current delivery, will be
sufficient to permit the Registrant to operate at satisfactory levels during the
current year. All but $281,000 of the backlog as of the beginning of the current
fiscal year is scheduled for shipment during the year; however, it may
reasonably be expected that delays in shipments will occur because of customer
rescheduling or delay in completion of buildings in which the Registrant's
products are to be installed. Based on past experience, the Registrant expects
that more than 90 percent of its backlog scheduled for shipment in the current
fiscal year will be shipped in the current fiscal year.

COMPETITION

The scientific laboratory and technical workstation and equipment
industry is highly competitive. The Registrant believes that the principal
competitive factors in the scientific laboratory and technical workstation and
equipment industry are price, product performance, and customer service. A
substantial 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, 1996 on
company-sponsored research and development activities related to new products or
services or improvement of existing products or services was $591,972. The
amounts spent for similar purposes in the fiscal years ended April 30, 1995 and
1994 were $527,647 and $490,481, respectively. Six professional employees were
engaged in such research at April 30, 1996.

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, 1996
was 499.

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 scientific laboratory and technical workstations and equipment.

The plants in Statesville, North Carolina are located in three
separate adjacent buildings which contain manufacturing facilities. Office,
engineering and drafting personnel and facilities are located in two 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, the
Registrant leases a warehouse of 22,000 square feet in Statesville, North
Carolina.

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.

At April 30, 1996, the Registrant's land and buildings were pledged as
collateral securing borrowings and letters of credit outstanding under a
revolving credit facility. The Registrant believes its facilities are suitable
for their respective uses and are adequate for its current needs.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Kewaunee Scientific Corporation
Statesville, North Carolina


We have audited the balance sheets of Kewaunee Scientific Corporation as of
April 30, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of operations and retained
earnings, and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
April 30, 1996; such financial statements are included in your 1996 Annual
Report to Stockholders. Our audits also included the financial statement
schedule listed in the Index at Item 14(a)(2). These financial statements and
financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and
financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Kewaunee Scientific Corporation as of April
30, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended April 30, 1996 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, such financial
statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the
information set forth therein.
