Financial Information - ------------------------- The unaudited interim condensed financial statements of Kewaunee Scientific Corporation (the "Company" or "Kewaunee") have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company's 2001 Annual Report to Stockholders. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, the interim condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. B. Inventories - --------------- Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands): July 31, 2001 April 30, 2001 ------------- -------------- Finished products $1,459 $1,023 Work in process 1,532 1,455 Raw materials 2,339 1,892 ------ ------ $5,330 $4,370 ====== ====== C. Balance Sheet - ----------------- The Company's April 30, 2001 condensed balance sheet as presented herein is derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. 6 D. Segment Information - ----------------------- The following table shows net sales and profits by business segment for three months ended July 31, 2001 and 2000. Laboratory Technical Products Products Corporate Total ---------- -------- --------- ----- Three months ended July 31, 2001 - ------------- Revenues from external customers $17,844 $1,896 -- $19,740 Intersegment revenues -- -- -- -- Segment profit 825 (184) (183) 458 Three months ended July 31, 2000 - ------------- Revenues from external customers $14,259 $5,111 -- $19,370 Intersegment revenues -- 114 (114) -- Segment profit (loss) (193) 684 (156) 335 7 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The Company's 2001 Annual Report to Stockholders contains management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations at and for the year ended April 30, 2001. The following discussion and analysis describes material changes in the Company's financial condition since April 30, 2001. The analysis of results of operations compares the three months ended July 31, 2001 with the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. Results of Operations - --------------------- The Company recorded sales of $19.7 million for the three months ended July 31, 2001, up 1.9% from sales of $19.4 million for the comparable period of the prior year. Sales of laboratory products increased 25.1% during the quarter over the same period last year, as the industrial research market for these products continued to improve. Sales of technical products, which are sold primarily to customers in the high-tech industry, declined 62.9% during the quarter from the same period last year, as the slowdown in high-tech capital spending reduced demand for these products. The Company's gross profit margin for the three months ended July 31, 2001 was 16.2%, compared to 19.0% for the comparable period of the prior year. The decrease in the gross profit margin for the quarter resulted primarily from differences in the product sales mix, as sales of laboratory products increased during the quarter, while sales of technical products, which typically have higher profit margins, declined. Operating expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2001 were $2.8 million, compared to $3.3 million for the comparable period of the prior year. As a percent of sales, operating expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2001 were 13.9% of sales, as compared to 16.9% of sales for the comparable period of the prior year. The decrease in operating expenses resulted primarily from lower sales commissions attributable to a change in product sales mix and lower marketing and administrative expenses. Operating earnings of $455,000 were recorded for the three months ended July 31, 2001, as compared to $397,000 recorded in the comparable period of the prior year. 8 Interest expense was $60,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2001, compared to $47,000 for the comparable period of the prior year. The increase in interest expense for the current quarter resulted primarily from increased bank borrowings during the quarter, partially offset by lower interest rates. Other income was $63,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2001, compared to other expense of $15,000 for the comparable period of the prior year. Income tax expense of $165,000 was recorded for the three months ended July 31, 2001, as compared to an income tax expense of $121,000 recorded for the comparable period of the prior year. The effective tax rate was 36.0% for each of these periods. Net earnings of $293,000, or $.12 per diluted share, was recorded for the three months ended July 31, 2001, compared to net earnings of $214,000, or $.09 per diluted share, for the comparable period of the prior year, as a result of the factors discussed above. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- Historically, the Company's principal sources of liquidity have been funds generated from operations, supplemented as needed by the Company's credit facility. The Company believes that these sources will be sufficient to support ongoing business levels, including capital expenditures through the current fiscal year. The Company had working capital of $15.3 million at July 31, 2001, as compared to $14.7 million at April 30, 2001. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.5-to-1 at July 31, 2001, unchanged from April 30, 2001. At July 31, 2001, advances of $200,000 were outstanding under the Company's $6.0 million revolving credit loan. 9 The Company's operations provided cash of $340,000 during the three months ended July 31, 2001. The cash provided was primarily attributable to operating earnings before depreciation and a reduction in prepaid income taxes, reduced by cash requirements associated with increased inventory levels. The Company's operations provided cash of $652,000 during the three months ended July 31, 2000, primarily attributable to operating earnings before depreciation, reduced by the net impact of cash requirements associated with reduced customer receivable balances and increased inventory levels. During the three months ended July 31, 2001, the Company used cash of $322,000 for capital expenditures, primarily production equipment, compared to the use of $907,000 for such expenditures in the comparable period of the prior year.

Their report on the interim financial information follows. 11 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Kewaunee Scientific Corporation Statesville, North Carolina We have reviewed the accompanying condensed balance sheet of Kewaunee Scientific Corporation as of July 31, 2001, and the related statements of operations for the three-month period ended July 31, 2001 and the condensed statement of cash flows for the three-month period ended July 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We previously audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the balance sheet as of April 30, 2001, and the related statements of operations, of stockholder's equity, and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated June 1, 2001, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed balance sheet as of April 30, 2001 is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the balance sheet from which it has been derived.
