        Note 1

        The consolidated balance sheet  at January 31, 1996, the  consolidated
        statements of  earnings for  the three-  and nine-month  periods ended
        January  31, 1996  and 1995,  and the  consolidated statement  of cash
        flows for the nine-month  periods ended January 31, 1996 and  1995 are
        unaudited but, in the opinion of the Company, include all adjustments,
        consisting only  of normal  recurring accruals,  necessary for a  fair
        statement  of the  results for  the interim periods.   The  results of
        operations  for the nine-month period  ended January 31,  1996 are not
        necessarily  indicative of  the results  to be  expected for  the full
        fiscal year.

                adopted  by the  American Institute  of  Certified Public
                Accountants)  and not  an  audit, as  set forth  in their

                7.   That  report  does not  express  an opinion  on  the
                interim  unaudited  consolidated  financial  information.
                KPMG Peat Marwick LLP has not carried out any significant
                or additional  audit tests beyond those  which would have
                been  necessary if  their report  had not  been included.
                Accordingly, such  report is not  a "report" or  "part of
                the  Registration  Statement"   within  the  meaning   of
                Sections 7 and  11 of the Securities Act  of 1933 and the
                liability provisions  of Section  11 of such  Act do  not

                             INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT



            To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
            Gerber Scientific, Inc.


            We  have made a review of the consolidated statement of earnings
            of Gerber Scientific, Inc.  and subsidiaries for the three-month
            and  nine-month periods  ended  January 31,  1996 and  1995, the
            consolidated statement of cash  flows for the nine-month periods
            ended January 31,  1996 and 1995,  and the consolidated  balance
            sheet  as  of January  31,  1996  in accordance  with  standards
            established  by  the  American  Institute  of  Certified  Public
            Accountants.   We  have previously  audited, in  accordance with
            generally  accepted   auditing  standards,  and   expressed  our
            unqualified  opinion  dated May  24,  1995  on the  consolidated
            financial  statements  for the  year ended  April 30,  1995 (not
            presented herein).  The aforementioned financial statements  are
            the responsibility of the Company's management.

            A review of  interim financial information consists  principally
            of applying  analytical review procedures to  financial data and
            making  inquiries  of  persons  responsible  for  financial  and
            accounting matters.  It  is substantially less in scope  than an
            examination  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
            consolidated statement of earnings for the three-month and nine-
            month periods  ended January 31, 1996 and 1995, the consolidated
            statement of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended January
            31,  1996  and 1995,  or the  consolidated  balance sheet  as of
            January 31, 1996  for them  to be in  conformity with  generally
            accepted  accounting  principles.    Also, in  our  opinion  the
            information in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of
            April 30, 1995 is fairly presented, in all material respects, in
            relation  to the consolidated  balance sheet  from which  it has
            been derived.

                        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                     FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


          FINANCIAL CONDITION

          At  January  31, 1996,the  Company's  ratio of  current  assets to
          current  liabilities was  2.7  to 1,  compared  with 2.1  to 1  at
          April 30, 1995.  Net working  capital increased $16.9 million from
          the  beginning  of the  current fiscal  year  to $95.4  million at
          January 31, 1996.

          The Company's cash and  short-term investments totalled $5 million
          at January 31, 1996, which was  lower than at the beginning of the
          fiscal year  but  adequate for  the Company's  requirements.   The
          Company  also  has a  portfolio  of  longer-term debt  securities,
          primarily tax-exempt municipal bonds, which totalled $59.9 million
          at January 31, 1996.  This longer-term portfolio has declined from
          $82.7 million  at the beginning  of the current fiscal  year.  The
          primary reasons  for  the  declines  in both  the  short-term  and
          longer-term cash positions are discussed below.    

          Operating activities  provided $2.1 million  in cash in  the first
          nine  months  of  the current  fiscal  year.    Cash generated  by
          earnings  and   the   non-cash  charges   for   depreciation   and
          amortization  was  substantially  offset  by  growth  in  accounts
          receivable  and  inventories  related  to  the  higher  volume  of
          business, and by a reduction in accounts payable related primarily
          to the timing of vendor payments.

          The principal non-operating use  of cash in the first  nine months
          of the current year was for open market purchases of the Company's
          common stock.   In the  first nine months,  the Company  purchased
          681,200 shares of  common stock at a total cost  of $11.3 million,
          or an average price of $16.65 per share. The funds for these stock
          purchases  came primarily  from maturities  of investments  in the
          Company's  longer-term  investment portfolio.   Under  the current
          Board  authorization,  the  Company  may purchase  up  to  763,000
          additional  shares  as,  in  the  opinion  of  management,  market
          conditions may warrant.
           
          The other significant non-operating uses of cash in the first nine
          months  of the  year were  for additions  to property,  plant, and
          equipment ($10.1  million) and for dividends on common stock ($5.7
          million).     The  Company   expects  fiscal  year   1996  capital
          expenditures will be in  the range of $11-$12 million  and expects
          to  continue to  fund  these additions  with  cash on  hand,  cash
          generated  by  operations,  and  maturities  from  the   long-term
          investment portfolio. 
           
          The  Company's total  debt at  January 31,  1996 was  $7.6 million
          compared  with $7.7 million at  the beginning of  the fiscal year.
          The ratio  of total  debt to  shareholders'  equity also  declined
          slightly over this period to 3.2 percent at January 31, 1996.  The
          Company believes that its low debt-to-equity ratio is an important
          indicator of its ability to borrow funds should needs arise.

                                           8

          In the first quarter of the current year, the Company entered into
          a formal line  of credit  agreement with a  major U.S.  commercial
          bank providing for up  to $22 million in short-term  borrowings by
          the Company.   Borrowings  under this  line of  credit can be  for
          terms up to six months in  length and bear interest at 1/4 percent
          above  the London  Interbank Offered  Rate (LIBOR).   The  line of
          credit has  a commitment fee of 1/8  percent of the unused amount.
          During the  third quarter, the  Company borrowed $3  million under
          this line of  credit to purchase its  common stock and  repaid the
          borrowing  with  maturities from  its  investment  portfolio.   At
          January  31, 1996,  no amounts  were borrowed  under this  line of
          credit. 

          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          For  the third  quarter and  nine months  ended January  31, 1996,
          combined sales  and service  revenue  increased $4.1  million  and
          $39.4 million, respectively, from  the comparable  periods of  the
          prior year.    These  represented  4.9  percent  and  17.5 percent
          increases, respectively.   Both product sales  and service revenue
          were higher in this year's third quarter and first nine months.

          The  growth  in  product  sales  in  the  third  quarter  resulted
          primarily from increased  shipments of the  Company's computerized
          signmaking equipment,  including the Gerber EDGE  (TM), an imaging
          system  that prints  four-color process  images and  other special
          effects directly on signmaking vinyl.   The Company also  recorded
          higher sales of plotters  which are used to cut  signmaking vinyl.
          Related to  these  increases  were  higher  sales  of  aftermarket
          signmaking supplies.

          In the first  nine months of the current year,  sales of computer-
          controlled cutting  and marker-making systems for  the apparel and
          related industries  were  also  higher than  in  the  prior  year.
          However, in the third quarter ended January 31, 1996, year-to-year
          sales  in this product class were lower as the Company experienced
          a  substantial drop in order entry from the U.S. apparel industry.
          Management anticipates  this downturn will continue  in the fourth
          quarter and believes this condition reflects the current  weakness
          in  the domestic retail industry, which in turn is causing apparel
          manufacturers to reduce their orders for new production equipment.

          Gross  profit margins on product  sales were 46.1  percent in this
          year's third quarter compared with 46.9 percent in the same period
          last  year.   Product margins  in this  year's third  quarter were
          pressured  by competitive price discounting on computer-controlled
          cutting  and marker-making  systems and  by lower sales  volume in
          this product class.   Price competition was  especially intense in
          European markets,  where the  Company's principal  competitors are
          headquartered.   The  lower  margins on  these products  more than
          offset the favorable impact  on margins from the higher  volume in
          signmaking systems.  On  a nine month basis, gross  profit margins
          on product sales were 46.3 percent compared with 45.6 percent last
          year.   The improvement in year-to-date  product margins reflected
          the  favorable  impact of  higher  sales  volume.   Service  gross
          margins were lower  in both the third  quarter and nine  months of
          the current year  due to less-than-anticipated  revenue growth  in
          North American service for cutting and marker-making systems.

                                           9

          Selling, general, and administrative expenses were higher in  this
          year's third quarter and first nine months due primarily to higher
          marketing and other  expenses associated with the growth in sales.
          As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses declined to 30.3 percent
          in this year's  third quarter from 31  percent in the  same period
          last  year.   For the  first nine  months, SG&A  expenses were  31
          percent of revenue  this year  compared with 30.2  percent in  the
          corresponding period last year.

          The Company continued to commit significant resources to  research
          and the development of  new products.  For  the third quarter  and
          first  nine months  of  the current  year,  R&D expenses  of  $6.8
          million and  $18.9 million, respectively, were  slightly below the
          levels of the  prior year.   On a sequential  basis, R&D  spending
          accelerated in  this year's third quarter compared  with the first
          two  quarters of  the  year, and  management  expects this  higher
          expenditure rate will  continue for the near term.   Among its on-
          going  R&D  projects, the  Company  expects to  continue  to incur
          significant expenses  in developing new  computer-to-plate systems
          for the commercial printing industry.

          Interest  expense for  this year's  third quarter  and first  nine
          months was higher than in  the same periods of last year.   During
          this year's third quarter the Company incurred interest expense on
          short-terms borrowings  to fund  common  stock purchases.    These
          borrowings were  repaid during  the  quarter using  proceeds  from
          maturing municipal bond investments.  Other  income in this year's
          third  quarter and  first nine  months was  lower than  last year.
          This  decrease was  due primarily  to lower  interest income  as a
          result of the reduction in the longer-term investment portfolio.

          The provision rate for income taxes was 28.7 percent for the first
          nine months of this year, the same provision rate as  in the first
          nine months of last year.  The effective income tax rate continued
          to  be lower than  the 35 percent statutory  U.S. Federal tax rate
          primarily  as a result of  tax-exempt interest income  and the tax
          benefits derived from the Company's Foreign Sales Corporation.

          As  a result of the  aforementioned, net earnings  for this year's
          third quarter ended January 31, 1996 were $5.2 million or $.22 per
          share  compared with  $4.8 million  or $.20  in last  year's third
          quarter.  The percentage increase in earnings per share was higher
          than the  percentage increase in net  earnings as a  result of the
          Company's   stock   purchase   program,   which   reduced   shares
          outstanding.    For the  nine months  ended  January 31,  1996 net
          earnings totalled $15.2 million  or $.64 per  share compared  with
          $11.9 million or $.50 per share in the same period last year.

          In a press  release issued  February 21, 1996,  the Company  noted
          that  it  expected to  report higher  sales  and earnings  for the
          fiscal  year ending  April  30,  1996  than  in  the  prior  year.
          However, the Company  also noted that  fourth quarter earnings  in
          the current year will be lower than  last year as a result of  the
          continued investment in the 


                                          10
<PAGE>13

          computer-to-plate business  and  the reduced  demand  for  apparel
          automation systems.  The Company estimated that earnings per share
          for the fourth quarter of this  year will be in the range of  $.16
          to  $.21  per  share compared  with  $.26  in  earnings per  share
          reported in last year's fourth quarter.

                                                               CONFIDENTIAL


                               GERBER SCIENTIFIC, INC.

                        PROFIT AND GROWTH INCENTIVE BONUS PLAN

                          FISCAL YEAR ENDING APRIL 30, 1996




          The  Profit and Growth Incentive Bonus Plan (the "Plan") for each

          of  Gerber  Scientific,  Inc.'s subsidiaries,  Gerber  Scientific

          Products, Inc. ("GSP"), Gerber  Garment Technology, Inc. ("GGT"),

          Gerber  Systems Corporation  ("GSC"),  and  Gerber Optical,  Inc.

          ("GOI"), for the fiscal year ending  April 30, 1996 will be based

          on  each subsidiary's  individual  performance.   The profit  and

          growth incentive bonus for Gerber Scientific, Inc.  ("Corporate")

          will be based on the Company's consolidated performance.    



          PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

          The  purpose of  the Plan  is to  reward certain  domestic (U.S.)

          executives, key  management, and  other employees by  providing a

          cash  bonus  based upon  the  adjusted  pre-tax  profits and  the

          improvement in  adjusted pre-tax, pre-interest  profits of  their

          subsidiary or  Corporate, as applicable.  This  bonus is intended

          as an  incentive to increase shareholder  value through sustained

          and improved earnings.   



          The Plan is  specifically for  the fiscal year  ending April  30,

          1996, as approved by the Board of Directors of Gerber Scientific,

<PAGE>18


          Inc.     Bonus  plans for  future  years and  their criteria  are

          subject  to  the approval  of the  Board  of Directors  of Gerber

          Scientific,  Inc.    It is  the  Board's  present intention  that

          interest   income  (intercompany  or   otherwise)  be  eventually

          eliminated from the  adjusted pre-tax profits on  which the bonus

          pools  are calculated  for  the "All  Other Employees"  category.

          Accordingly, the Plan for  the fiscal year ending April 30, 1996,

          eliminates one-half of such interest income from adjusted pre-tax

          profits.   The  Board  contemplates that  three-quarters of  such

          interest income would be eliminated from adjusted pre-tax profits

          in the Plan for fiscal year  1997 and all of such interest income

          would be eliminated in the fiscal year 1998 Plan.  

          DETERMINATION OF THE BONUS POOLS

          The bonus pool  at each participating subsidiary  company will be
          computed as follows:  

               (a)  For Subsidiary presidents  and key management, the  sum

                    of the following:     

                    -    1  percent of  the consolidated  adjusted pre-tax,
                         pre-bonus profit of  the subsidiary  for the  year

                         ending April 30, 1996, plus

                    -    3  percent  of  the  improvement  in  consolidated

                         adjusted  pre-tax, pre-bonus,  pre-interest profit
                         for the year ending April 30, 1996 over 70 percent

                         of the  highest such amount reported  in the three

                         fiscal  years ending  April 30,  1995 (or,  in the

                         case of losses in each of these years, 100 percent
                         of the smallest  of the losses in such  three year

                         period).

               (b)  For All Other Employees:
                    -    1.50 percent of the consolidated adjusted pre-tax,
                         pre-bonus profit  of the  subsidiary for  the year
                         ending  April  30,  1996.   Such  profit  will  be

                         adjusted  to  exclude  one-half  of  any  interest

                         income   (intercompany   or  otherwise)   and  the

                         equivalent income tax  savings from any tax-exempt
                         interest income.  



           The bonus pool at Corporate will be computed as follows:  

               (a)  For Corporate  officers and key management,  the sum of
                    the following:  

                    -    .75 percent of  the consolidated adjusted pre-tax,

                         pre-bonus  profit for  the year  ending April  30,

                         1996, plus

                    -    2.25  percent of  the improvement  in consolidated

                         adjusted  pre-tax, pre-bonus,  pre-interest profit

                         for the year ending April 30, 1996 over 70 percent

                         of the  highest such amount reported  in the three
                         fiscal years ending April 30, 1995.  



               (b)  For All Other Employees:  

                    -    .25  percent of the consolidated adjusted pre-tax,

                         pre-bonus  profit  for the  year ending  April 30,

                         1996.   Such  profit will  be adjusted  to exclude

                         one-half of any  interest income (intercompany  or

                         otherwise)  and the equivalent  income tax savings

                         from any tax-exempt interest income.  

           

          Consolidated   pre-tax  profit   is  defined   for  participating

          subsidiary  companies as  those  subsidiary consolidated  profits

          before  income  taxes  which  are  included  in the  consolidated

<PAGE>20


          financial statements  of Gerber  Scientific, Inc. for  the fiscal

          year  ending  April  30,  1996, as  certified  by  the  Company's

          independent public accountants.   Consolidated pre-tax profit  is

          defined for Corporate as  the profits before income taxes  in the

          consolidated financial statements of Gerber Scientific, Inc.  for

          the  fiscal year  ending  April 30,  1996,  as certified  by  the

          Company's independent public accountants.



          In  addition to  the  adjustments for  interest income  described

          above, such consolidated pre-tax profits will be further adjusted

          for  bonus computation purposes as  follows:  (1)  to exclude the

          effects  of all Foreign Sales Corporation  (FSC) activity; (2) to

          exclude  the  effects  of  any  material  changes  in  accounting

          principles   which   are   subject   to   Corporate  management's

          discretion; (3) to include the equivalent income tax savings from

          investments in  tax-exempt municipal  securities; (4)  to exclude

          the  effects of outside  legal costs expensed  during the current

          fiscal  year for lawsuits  alleging infringement of Company-owned

          patents for which Corporate has given written approval; for bonus

          computation purposes, these outside legal costs will be amortized

          as a  charge against consolidated  pre-tax profit  on a  straight

          line basis over  the following  60 months;   (5)  to exclude  the

          effects  of any settlement  amounts or  court awards  for damages

          resulting  from  a   patent  infringement   lawsuit;  for   bonus

          computation purposes, these amounts  will first be offset against

          the  amount  of  current  year patent  infringement  legal  costs

          amortized during the year,  and second, as an offset  against the

          cumulative unamortized  amount of patent infringement legal costs

<PAGE>21

          as  of the end of such fiscal  year; and (6) if the settlement or

          court award  amounts exceed the cumulative  unamortized amount of

          patent  infringement  legal   costs,  such   excess,  for   bonus

          computation purposes, will  be amortized on a straight line basis

          over three years, beginning  in the year the settlement  or court

          award amounts are received,  as an increase to consolidated  pre-

          tax profits.  



          DETERMINATION OF INDIVIDUAL BONUS AMOUNTS

          The bonus pools  for Corporate officers  and key management,  and

          for Subsidiary  presidents and key management,  will be allocated

          between  them based upon the relative  target bonus potential for

          the year so as to yield bonus percentages in a 50/30 ratio (e.g.,

          50 percent  for  Subsidiary presidents  and  30 percent  for  key

          management).    Management  has the  discretion  to  add  a third

          category  of  other key  employees with  a  20 percent  (or less)

          target  bonus potential.  The  total bonus pool  would remain the

          same  in  this  situation  and   would  be  allocated  among  the

          categories based  on the relative target bonus  potential for the

          year  so as to yield  bonus percentages in  the appropriate ratio

          (e.g.,   50  percent   for  Corporate   officers   or  Subsidiary

          presidents, 30  percent for  key management,  and 20 percent  [or

          less] for other key employees).  



          The  portion  of the  respective  bonus pools  allocated  to each

          category will be divided  by the sum of the  actual regular wages

          paid during the year  to the eligible employees in  that category

          so as to yield a percentage.  This percentage  is then multiplied

<PAGE>22

          by each individual's regular wages paid to compute the applicable

          bonus  amount.    Regular wages  paid  is  defined  as base  pay,

          including  holiday pay,  vacation  pay, and  sick  time pay,  but

          excluding vacation paid in lieu of time off, overtime pay (except

          for adjustments as may be  appropriate to assure compliance  with

          the Fair Labor Standards Act), and any bonus pay.  



          The maximum  bonus percentage computed cannot  exceed 150 percent

          of  the targeted  bonus potential  (e.g., 75  percent of  regular

          wages paid for Corporate officers and Subsidiary presidents whose

          targeted  bonus potential  is 50  percent, 45 percent  of regular

          wages  paid for key management whose  targeted bonus potential is

          30 percent, etc.).  The maximum bonus percentage computed for all

          other employees cannot exceed 10 percent of regular wages paid to

          all other eligible employees.  

<PAGE>23

          ELIGIBILITY FOR THE PLAN

          All  full  time  employees  of Corporate  and  the  participating

          domestic subsidiary companies (GSP, GGT, GSC, and GOI) who are on

          the  active permanent payroll on  April 30, 1996  are eligible to

          participate   in   the   Plan   of   their   respective  company.

          Specifically   excluded  from  participating  in  the  Plan  are:

          employees of foreign (i.e.,  non-U.S.) subsidiaries and  branches

          of Corporate or the  domestic subsidiary companies; employees who

          participate in  other forms of cash  incentive compensation plans

          (e.g., salesmen on  commission); and employees under  any form of

          collectively bargained wage or benefit contract.



          Eligible  employees who as of  April 30, 1996  have been employed

          continuously  for a full year receive a full share (regular wages

          paid,  as  defined,  during the  Plan's  year  multiplied  by the

          applicable bonus  percentage, as  computed).   Eligible employees

          who as of April 30, 1996 have been employed continuously for more

          than  six months  but less  than one  full year  receive one-half

          share (regular wages  paid during the  Plan's year multiplied  by

          one-half  the applicable  bonus percentage).   Eligible employees

          who as  of April 30,  1996 have been  employed for less  than six

          months receive no share.  



          Eligible employees  who transfer between  participating companies

          will  participate pro-rata in the Plan of each company where they

          were employed  during the Plan year.  Their bonus is based on the

          respective regular wages paid  and applicable bonus percentage at

          each company where they were employed.  

<PAGE>24



          Employees who are laid-off during the Plan year but recalled to a

          participating  company within  the  period of  recall rights  and

          prior to the end of the Plan year will be considered  to have had

          no  break in  service for  purposes of  determining  bonus share.

          Employees  who were laid-off prior  to the beginning  of the Plan

          year  and are  recalled  to a  participating  company within  the

          period of recall  rights and prior  to the end  of the Plan  year

          will be considered to have  been employed as of the first  day of

          the  Plan year  for  purposes of  determining  bonus share.    An

          approved  leave  of absence  will not  be  considered a  break in

          service for purposes of determining bonus share.  



          DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROFIT AND GROWTH INCENTIVE BONUS

          The  profit and  growth  incentive bonus  for each  participating

          company  will  be  paid  in  cash  to  eligible  employees  as  a

          percentage  of  their regular  wages paid  during the  Plan year,

          based upon their  period of employment (see "Eligibility  for the

          Plan").  It is expected  that any cash distribution will  be made

          on or before July 15, 1996.

          Re:     Retainer of  Stanley Simon  and Associates  as Management
          Consultant

          Dear Stanley:

          This  letter  is  to  memorialize our  agreement  concerning  the
          retainer of Stanley Simon  and Associates (SS&A) as a  management
          consultant  to Gerber  Scientific, Inc.  (GSI). As  you are  well
          aware,  GSI's senior  management,  including  myself, have  often
          turned  to you  for  advice and  related  services on  management
          issues  as they  have arisen.  Although  the appointment  of SS&A
          originally  was made  pursuant to  a resolution  of the  Board of
          Directors which has since been superseded, we seek to continue to
          retain SS&A as a management consultant.

          As  we have  agreed,  SS&A will  continue  to provide  management
          consulting services to GSI apart from the services to be provided
          by  yourself by  virtue  of  your  membership  on  the  Board  of
          Directors of GSI and its committees. The appointment of SS&A as a
          management consultant will  be effective as of February  21, 1995
          and will continue for a term of one year from that date. The term
          may be renewed  annually by  mutual written consent  of SS&A  and
          GSI.

          The compensation payable to SS&A  will be a fixed annual rate  of
          Ten  thousand dollars ($10,000), payable monthly, plus reasonable
          out-of-pocket  travel and  other expenses  incurred by  SS&A with
          respect  to   consulting  services  performed  hereunder.  As  an
          independent contractor, SS&A continues  to be responsible for all
          other expenses, applicable taxes, and insurance.

          Please  note  that this  letter is  being  sent in  duplicate. To
          indicate  your agreement  with the terms  of this  letter, please
          countersign both copies and return one to my attention.

          Sincerely,

          /s/ George M. Gentile
