                                    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 industrial and commercial research laboratories, educational
institutions, health-care institutions, and governmental entities. The technical
products segment principally manufactures and sells technical furniture
including workstations, workbenches, computer enclosures, and related
accessories to support local area computer networks and for the storage and
assembly of computers and light electronics. Technical products are sold
principally to manufacturing facilities and users of computer and networking
furniture.

          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 Scientific Products represented 12 percent, 13 percent,
and 14 percent of the Registrant's total sales in fiscal years 1999, 1998 and
1997, respectively.

                                       3
<PAGE>

          The Registrant's sales order backlog at April 30, 1999 was $27.0
million, up from $24.9 million and $24.2 million at April 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. All but $1.2 million of the backlog at April 30, 1999 was
scheduled for shipment during fiscal year 2000; however, it may reasonably be
expected that delays in shipments will occur because of customer rescheduling or
delay in completion 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 2000
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, 1999 on
company-sponsored research and development activities related to new products or
services or improvement of existing products or services was $773,816. The
amounts spent for similar purposes in the fiscal years ended April 30, 1998 and
1997 were $822,132 and $663,996, respectively. Seven professional employees were
engaged in such research at April 30, 1999.

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, 1999 was
643.

the Letter to Stockholders, narrative text, captions and Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, constitute

Act. The Company cannot always predict what factors would cause actual results
to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. In
addition, readers are urged to consider statements that include the terms
"believes," "belief," "expects," "plans," "objectives," "anticipates," "intends"
or the like to be uncertain and forward-looking.

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. Sales and
marketing, administration, engineering and drafting personnel and facilities are
also 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 warehouse space of 41,000 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.

          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
--------------------------

          From time to time, the Registrant is involved in certain 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.

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, 1999, page 19, sections
entitled "Range of Market Prices" and "Quarterly Financial Data". As of July 9,
1999, the Registrant estimates there were approximately 1,300 stockholders of
Kewaunee common shares, of which 349 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, 1999, page 18, 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, 1999, pages 6-7, 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 directly related to the Registrant's credit facility
which is priced on a floating rate basis. At April 30, 1999, advances of
$939,000 were outstanding under the revolving credit portion of the credit
facility. Based on this balance and the Registrant's expected use of the credit
facility, the Registrant believes that its exposure to market risk is not
material. The Registrant has not historically used interest rate swaps or other
derivative financial instruments for the purpose of hedging fluctuations in
interest rates on its floating rate debt.

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, 1999, pages 8-17.

      REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS ON FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES



To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Kewaunee Scientific Corporation:

Our audits of the financial statements referred to in our report dated June 3,
1999 appearing in the 1999 Annual Report to Shareholders of Kewaunee Scientific
Corporation (which report and financial statements are incorporated by reference
in this Annual Report on Form 10-K) also included an audit of Page 1 of the
Financial Statement Schedule listed in Item 14(a)(2) of this Form 10-K. In our
opinion, Page 1 of this Financial Statement Schedule related to fiscal years
ended April 30, 1999 and 1998 presents fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related
financial statements. The information on Page 2 of the Financial Statement
Schedule, related to fiscal year ended April 30, 1997, appearing in this Form
10-K was audited by other independent accountants whose report dated June 4,
1997 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
