PART I

Item 1. Business

General

Our principal business is the design, manufacture and installation of laboratory and technical furniture products. Laboratory furniture products include both steel and wood cabinetry, fume hoods, flexible systems, and worksurfaces. Technical furniture products include workstations, workbenches, computer enclosures, and network storage systems.

Our products are sold primarily through purchase orders and contracts submitted by customers through our dealers and commissioned agents and a national distributor, as well as through competitive bids submitted by us and our subsidiaries in India and Singapore. Products are sold principally to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, industrial, chemical and commercial research laboratories, educational institutions, healthcare institutions, governmental entities, manufacturing facilities, and users of networking furniture. We consider the markets in which we compete to be highly competitive, with a significant amount of the business involving competitive public bidding.

It is common in the laboratory furniture industry for customer orders to require delivery at extended future dates, as 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 and our recognition of the sale. Since prices are normally quoted on a firm basis in the industry, we bear the burden of possible increases in labor and material costs between receipt of an order and delivery of the product. The impact of such possible increases is considered when determining the sales price.

Our need for working capital and our credit practices are comparable to those of other companies manufacturing, selling, and installing similar products in similar markets. Since our products are used in building construction products, in many cases payments for our 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. On average, payments for our products are received during the quarter following shipment, with the exception of the retention amounts which are collected at the completion of the project.

The principal raw materials and products manufactured by others used by us in our 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 typically readily available.

We hold various patents and patent rights but do not consider that our success or growth is dependent upon our patents or patent rights. Our business is not dependent upon licenses, franchises or concessions.

Our business is not cyclical, although sales are sometimes lower during our third quarter because of slower construction activity in certain areas of the country during the winter months. Our business is not dependent on any one or a few customers; however, sales to our national distributor, VWR International, represented 14 percent, 15 percent, and 11 percent of our total sales in fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Our order backlog at April 30, 2006 was $36.4 million, as compared to $40.6 million at April 30, 2005 and $43.1 million at April 30, 2004. All but $3.3 million of the backlog at April 30, 2006 was scheduled for shipment during fiscal year 2007; however, it may reasonably be expected that delays in shipments will

3

occur because of customer rescheduling or delay in completion of projects which involve the installation of our products. Based on scheduled shipment dates and past experience, we expect that more than 90 percent of our order backlog at April 30, 2006 will be shipped during fiscal year 2007.

Competition

We consider the industries in which we compete to be highly competitive and believe that the principal competitive factors are price, product performance, and customer service. A significant portion of our business is based upon competitive public bidding.

Research and Development

The amount spent by us during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006 on research and development activities related to new or re-designed products was $760,000. The amounts spent for similar purposes in the fiscal years ended April 30, 2005 and 2004 were $785,000 and $791,000, 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 us. There are no material capital expenditures anticipated for such purposes, and no material effect therefrom is anticipated on our earnings or competitive position.

Employees

At April 30, 2006, we had 471 domestic employees and 95 international employees.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the following risks before your decide to buy shares of our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, results of operations or financial condition would likely suffer. In such case, the trading price of our common stock would decline, and you may lose all or part of the money you paid to buy our stock.

This and other public reports may contain forward-looking statements based on current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about us and our industry. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those forward-looking statements as results of many factors, as more fully described below and elsewhere in our public reports. We do not undertake to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reasons, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future.

If we fail to compete effectively, our revenue and profit margins could decline.

We face a variety of competition in all of the markets in which we participate. Competitive pricing, including price competition or the introduction of new products, could have material adverse effects on our revenues and profit margins.

Our ability to compete effectively depends to a significant extent on the specification or approval of our products by architects, engineers, and customers. If a significant segment of those communities were to decide that the design, materials, manufacturing, testing or quality control of our products is inferior to that of any of our competitors, our sales and profits would be materially and adversely affected.

If we lose a large customer, our sales and profits would decline.

We have substantial sales to one large customer. In particular, one customer accounted for 14% of our net sales in fiscal year 2006. Loss of all or a part of our sales to a large customer would have a material effect on our revenues and profits.

An increase in the price of raw materials could negatively affect our sales and profits.

Our principal raw materials are steel, including stainless steel, wood and epoxy resin. Numerous factors beyond our control, such as general economic conditions, competition, worldwide demand, labor costs, energy costs, and import duties and other trade restrictions, influence prices for our raw materials. In March 2002, for example, the United States imposed tariffs on several types of imported steel, which increased our cost of steel. In addition, consolidation among domestic integrated steel producers, changes in supply and demand in steel markets, the weakening United States dollar and other events have led to increased steel costs. The domestic steel market is heavily influenced by three major United States manufacturers. Worldwide demand for steel is strong. We have not always been able, and in the future we might not be able, to increase our product prices in amounts that correspond to increase in costs of raw materials, without materially and adversely affecting our sales and profits. We have not attempted to hedge against changes in prices of steel or other raw materials.

Our future growth may depend on our ability to penetrate new international markets.

International laws and regulations, construction customs, standards, techniques and methods differ from those in the United States. Significant challenges of conducting business in foreign countries include, among other factors, local acceptance of our products, political instability, currency controls, changes in import and export regulations, changes in tariff and freight rates, and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

5

Events outside our control may affect our operating results.

We have little control over the timing of our customer shipments. Shipments that we anticipate in one quarter may occur in another quarter, affecting both quarters’ results. Weather conditions, such as unseasonably warm, cold or wet weather, can affect and sometimes delay projects. Political and economic events can also affect our revenues. When sales do not meet our expectations, our operating results will be reduced for the relevant quarters.

Our principal markets are in the laboratory building construction industry. This industry is subject to significant volatility due to various factors, none of which is within our control. Declines in construction activity or demand for our products could materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition.

We depend on key management and technical personnel, the loss of whom could harm our business.

We depend on certain key management and technical personnel. The loss of one or more key employees may materially and adversely affect us. Our success also depends on our ability to attract and retain additional highly qualified technical, marketing and management personnel necessary for the maintenance and expansion of our activities. We might not be able to attract or retain such personnel.

Our stock price is likely to be volatile and could drop.

The trading price of our Common Stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to quarter to quarter variation in operating results, announcement of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors, general conditions in the construction and construction materials industries, relatively low trading volume in our Common Stock and other events or factors. In addition, in recent years the stock market has experienced extreme price fluctuations. This volatility has had a substantial effect on the market prices of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to the operating performance of those companies. Securities market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

We are subject to a number of significant risks that might cause our actual results to vary materially from our forecasts, targets, or projections, including:

• Failing to anticipate, appropriately invest in and effectively manage the human, information technology and logistical resources necessary to support the growth of our business, including managing the costs associated with such resources;

• Failing to generate sufficient future positive operating cash flows and, if necessary, secure adequate external financing to fund our growth; and

• Interruptions in service by common carriers that ship goods within our distribution channels.

Failure of our internal control over financial reporting could harm our business and financial results.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of the

6

consolidated financial statements; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of our assets are made in accordance with management authorization; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our consolidated financial statements would be prevented or detected. Any failure to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting could limit our ability to report our financial results accurately and timely or to detect and prevent fraud.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 2. Properties

We own and operate three adjacent manufacturing facilities in Statesville, North Carolina. These facilities also house our corporate offices, as well as sales and marketing, administration, engineering and drafting personnel. These facilities together comprise approximately 382,000 square feet and are located on approximately 20 acres of land. In addition, at April 30, 2006, we leased our primary distribution facility and other warehouse facilities totaling 164,000 square feet in Statesville, North Carolina.

All of the facilities which we own are held free and clear of any encumbrances. We believe our facilities are suitable for their respective uses and are adequate for our current needs.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are involved in certain disputes and litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the ordinary course of business. Further, we periodically are subject to government audits and inspections. We believe that any such matters presently pending will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this document constitute “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Reform Act”). Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could significantly impact results or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, economic, competitive, governmental, and technological factors affecting our operations, markets, products, services, and prices. The cautionary statements made pursuant to the Reform Act herein and elsewhere by us should not be construed as exhaustive. We 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. Over time, our actual results, performance or achievements will likely differ from the anticipated results, performance or achievements that are expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements, and such difference might be significant and harmful to our stockholders’ interest. Many important factors that could cause such a difference are described under the caption “Risk Factors,” in Item 1A of this annual report, which you should review carefully.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

INTRODUCTION

We are a recognized leader in the design, manufacture, and installation of laboratory and technical furniture products. Laboratory furniture products include both steel and wood cabinetry, fume hoods, flexible systems, and worksurfaces. Technical furniture products include workstations, workbenches, computer enclosures, and network storage systems. Our headquarters and manufacturing facilities are located in Statesville, North Carolina. We also have subsidiaries in Singapore and Bangalore, India that serve the Asian markets. Although only approximately 15.1% of our sales were through our international subsidiaries in fiscal year 2006, these sales are considered an important part of our long-term growth strategy.

Our products are primarily sold through purchase orders and contracts submitted by customers through our dealers and commissioned agents, a national distributor, and through competitive bids submitted by us and our subsidiaries. Products are sold principally to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, industrial, chemical and commercial research laboratories, educational institutions, healthcare institutions, governmental entities, manufacturing facilities, and users of networking furniture. We consider the markets in which we compete to be highly-competitive, with a significant amount of the business involving competitive public bidding.

It is common in the laboratory furniture industry for customer orders to require delivery at extended future dates, as 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 and our recognition of the sale. Since prices are normally quoted on a firm basis in the industry, we bear the burden of possible increases in labor and material costs between receipt of an order and delivery of the product. The impact of such possible increases is considered when determining the sales price. The principal raw materials and products manufactured by others used in our products are cold-rolled carbon and stainless steel, hardwood lumbers and plywood, paint, chemicals, resins, hardware, plumbing and electrical fittings. Such materials and products are purchased from multiple suppliers and are typically readily available.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In the ordinary course of business, we have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial position in the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. We believe that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and require management’s most difficult, subjective, and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

A portion of our product sales result from fixed-price construction contracts that involve a signed contract for a fixed price to provide our laboratory furniture and fume hoods for a construction project. We are usually in the role as a subcontractor, but in some cases may enter into a contract directly with the end-user of the products. Product sales resulting from fixed-price construction contracts are generated from multiple-element arrangements that require separate units of accounting and estimates regarding the fair value of individual elements. Our multiple-element arrangements that qualify as separate units of accounting are: product sales and installation services. Each of these elements represent individual units of accounting as the delivered item has value to a customer on a stand-alone basis, objective and reliable evidence of fair value exists for undelivered items, and arrangements normally do not contain a general right of return relative to the delivered item. We determine fair value based on the price of the deliverable when it is sold separately or based on third-party evidence. In accordance with the guidance in Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 00-21 “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”, we use the residual method to allocate the arrangement consideration when the arrangement does not indicate fair value of the product sale. Under the residual method, the amount of consideration allocated to the delivered item equals the total arrangement consideration less the aggregate fair value of the undelivered items. Assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met, we recognize revenue for product sales at the date of shipment. Product sales resulting from purchase orders involve a purchase order received by us from our dealers or our stocking distributor. This category includes product sales for standard products, as well as products which require some customization. These sales are recognized under the terms of the purchase order which generally are freight on board (“FOB”) shipping point and do not include rights of return. Accordingly, sales are recognized at the time of shipment.

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

Evaluation of the allowance for doubtful accounts involves management judgments and estimates. We evaluate the collectibility of our trade accounts receivable based on a number of factors. In circumstances where management is aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to us, or a project dispute makes it unlikely that all of the receivable owed by a customer will be collected, a specific reserve for bad debts is estimated and recorded, to reduce the recognized receivable to the estimated amount we believe will ultimately be collected. In addition to specific customer identification of potential bad debts, a general reserve for bad debts is estimated and recorded based on our recent past loss history and an overall assessment of past due trade accounts receivable amounts outstanding.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The cost of the majority of inventories is measured on the last in, first out (“LIFO”) method. The LIFO method allocates the most recent costs to cost of products sold, and, therefore, recognizes into operating results fluctuations in raw materials,

11

and other inventoriable costs more quickly than other methods. Other inventories consisted of foreign inventories and are measured at actual cost.

PENSION BENEFITS

We sponsor pension plans covering all employees who meet eligibility requirements. In February 2005, our pension plans were amended as of April 30, 2005. No further benefits will be earned under the plans subsequent to the amendment date, and no additional participants will be added to the plans. Several statistical and other factors, which attempt to anticipate future events, are used in calculating the expense and liability related to the pension plans. These factors include assumptions about the discount rate used to calculate and determine benefit obligations and expected return on plan assets within certain guidelines. The actuarial assumptions used by us may differ materially from actual results due to changing market and economic conditions, higher or lower withdrawal rates, or longer or shorter life spans of participants. These differences may significantly affect the amount of pension income or expense recorded by us in future periods.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales for fiscal year 2006 were $84.1 million, an increase of 14.4% from fiscal year 2005 sales of $73.4 million. Domestic demand for our products improved during the year. Domestic sales were $72.0 million, an increase of 6.2% over the prior year. Although demand for products improved, a significant amount of excess manufacturing capacity remained in the marketplace. Domestic selling prices for laboratory products declined during the year, as manufacturers reacted to the excess manufacturing capacity. Growth accelerated for our Asian subsidiaries during the year, as sales through our international subsidiaries increased 113% to $12.0 million.

Sales for fiscal year 2005 were $73.4 million, a decrease of 22% from fiscal year 2004 sales of $94.7 million. Domestic sales were $67.1 million, a decrease of 24% from the prior year, while sales through our international sales decreased 8% to $6.9 million. Sales for fiscal year 2005, both domestic and international, were adversely affected by several factors during the year. Spending for new research projects by pharmaceutical companies was reduced by the uncertainties surrounding the November 2004 presidential election and the potential impact of its outcome on pricing of prescription drugs. The significant increases in the cost of construction materials during fiscal year 2005 reduced the number of laboratory projects generally available in the marketplace, or delayed construction. Spending for laboratory construction for higher education science buildings slowed significantly during fiscal year 2005 due to the combination of significantly higher construction costs and reduced state funds available for these projects. Our order backlog was $36.4 million at April 30, 2006, as compared to $40.6 million at April 30, 2005, and $43.1 million at April 30, 2004.

Gross profit represented 14.8%, 17.0%, and 16.6% of sales in fiscal years 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. The decrease in gross profit margin in fiscal year 2006 from fiscal year 2005 was due to a number of unfavorable factors. These included lower selling prices, increased costs of raw materials, particularly steel and epoxy resin, and increased costs of energy and transportation. We only had limited success in our efforts to pass on these added costs to customers. The unfavorable factors were partially offset by actions taken to reduce factory overhead, manufacturing costs, and material costs.

The increase in gross profit margin in fiscal year 2005 from fiscal year 2004 was due to aggressive activities to reduce overhead and material costs. These improvements more than offset significant increases in raw material prices, particularly steel and epoxy resin, which reduced gross profit for the year by $1.4 million, or 1.9% of sales.

Other operating income of $884,000 in fiscal year 2006 resulted from the sale of our former plant site in Lockhart, Texas.

Operating expenses were $12.2 million, $12.7 million, and $13.5 million in fiscal years 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively, and 14.5%, 17.3%, and 14.2% of sales, respectively. The decrease in operating expenses for fiscal year 2006 as compared to fiscal year 2005 was primarily attributable to cost reduction activities during the current year, the full benefit of workforce reductions made during the prior year, a decrease in pension expense of $251,000 resulting from the freezing of benefits in our pension plans as of April 30, 2005, and a reduction in bad debt expense of $232,000.

On a dollar basis, operating expenses for fiscal year 2005 as compared to fiscal year 2004 benefited from cost reduction activities, including reduced salaries and benefits of $630,000 resulting from workforce reductions made during the year. Operating expenses in fiscal year 2005 also benefited from a decline in sales commissions of $461,000 as compared to the prior year due to the lower sales volumes. As a percent of sales, operating expenses in fiscal year 2005 increased as compared to fiscal year 2004 as the amount of operating expenses did not decline proportionately with the decline in sales.

Other income was $50,000, $2,000, and $319,000 in fiscal years 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. Other income for fiscal year 2004 includes $295,000 received during the year from the resolution of a disputed claim for laboratory furniture sold several years earlier.

Interest expense was $470,000, $310,000, and $301,000 in fiscal years 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. The increased interest expense in fiscal year 2006 resulted primarily from higher interest rates paid. The increased interest expense in fiscal year 2005 resulted from higher interest rates paid, partially offset by lower levels of borrowings.

Income tax expense of $288,000, or 41.3% of pretax earnings was recorded in fiscal year 2006. The impact of earned state and federal tax credits in fiscal year 2006 was offset by a valuation allowance established against earned but unused tax credits, since the utilization of these tax credits depends on future taxable income. An income tax benefit of $488,000, or 93.3% of the pretax loss was recorded in fiscal year 2005. An income tax expense of $621,000, or 28.0% of pretax earnings was recorded in fiscal year 2004. The effective rate for fiscal years 2005 and 2004 differs from the statutory rate due to the impact of earned state and federal tax credits. The effective rate for fiscal year 2005 was also impacted by the level of the pretax losses.

Minority interest related to our two subsidiaries that are not 100% owned by us were $216,000, $112,000, and $133,000, for fiscal years 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. The changes in minority interest for each year were due to changes in the net income of the subsidiaries.

Net earnings in fiscal year 2006 were $193,000, or $0.08 per diluted share. A net loss of $147,000, or $0.06 per diluted share, was reported for fiscal year 2005. Net earnings in fiscal year 2004 were $1.5 million, or $0.59 per diluted share. Net earnings in fiscal year 2006 were increased by $540,000, resulting from the sale of our former plant site in Lockhart, Texas.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our principal sources of liquidity have historically been funds generated from operating activities, supplemented as needed by borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Additionally, certain machinery and equipment are financed by non-cancelable operating leases or capital leases. We believe that these sources of funds will be sufficient to support ongoing business requirements, including capital expenditures, through fiscal year 2007.

At April 30, 2006, we had advances of $8.2 million outstanding under an unsecured $9 million revolving credit facility. The credit facility matures in December 2006, and we intend to replace it with a new facility prior to the maturity date.

13

During fiscal year 2003, we entered into a 10-year operating lease for a new distribution center in Statesville, North Carolina. This lease arrangement, as well as most of our leases for machinery and equipment, provides us with renewal and purchase options and certain early cancellation rights.

In fiscal year 2005, we began a project to purchase and install a new enterprise resource planning system (ERP). The project is projected to have a total cost of $2.0 million and is expected to be completed in the third quarter of fiscal year 2007. We have entered into lease arrangements to fund the majority of the expected costs of the project as costs are incurred. Costs of $852,000 and $715,000 for the project were incurred and funded under operating and capital lease arrangements during fiscal years 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The following table summarizes the obligated cash payments including interest if applicable for the above commitments as of April 30, 2006:

PAYMENTS DUE BY PERIOD

Contractual Obligations	Total		1 Year		2-3 Years		4-5 Years		After 5 years
Operating Leases	$	7,183	$	1,552	$	2,558	$	1,858	$	1,215
Capital Leases		977		329		581		67		—
Total Contractual Cash Obligations	$	8,160	$	1,881	$	3,139	$	1,925	$	1,215

We do not have any off balance sheet obligations at April 30, 2006.

Operating activities used cash of $246,000 in fiscal year 2006. Operating activities provided cash of $3.1 million in fiscal year 2005 and used cash of $943,000 in fiscal year and 2004. The primary uses of cash during fiscal year 2006 were increases in inventory and accounts receivable balances offset by cash provided from operating earnings and an increase in accounts payable. Operations along with a reduction in accounts receivable and inventory were the primary sources of cash in fiscal year 2005. The primary use of cash in fiscal year 2004 was to fund the significant increase in receivables, which was partially offset by funds provided from operating earnings and a reduction in inventory. The majority of the April 30, 2006 accounts receivable balances are expected to be collected during the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, with the exception of retention amounts on fixed-price contracts which are collected when the entire construction project is completed and all retention funds are paid by the owner.

We made cash contributions of $2.5 million and $750,000 to our pension plans in fiscal years 2005 and 2004, respectively. As discussed above, no further benefits will be earned under the plans after April 30, 2005, and no additional participants will be added to the plans. We did not make any contributions to the plans in fiscal year 2006 and do not expect to make any contributions to the plans in fiscal year 2007.

Capital expenditures were $1.9 million, $1.0 million, and $1.6 million in fiscal years 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. Capital expenditures in fiscal year 2006 were funded primarily from cash generated by the sale of our property in Lockhart, Texas. Capital assets related to the ERP system in the amount of $580,000 were funded under capital leases in fiscal year 2006. Capital expenditures in fiscal year 2005 were funded primarily from cash generated by operating activities. Capital assets related to the ERP system in the amount of $440,000 were funded under capital leases in fiscal year 2005. Capital expenditures in fiscal year 2004 were funded primarily from borrowings under our credit facility. Fiscal year 2007 capital expenditures are anticipated to be approximately $1.0 million and are expected to be funded primarily by operating activities.

14

Working capital increased to $11.0 million at April 30, 2006, from $10.4 million at April 30, 2005, and the ratio of current assets to current liabilities decreased to 1.5-to-1 at April 30, 2006, from 1.6-to-1 at April 30, 2005. The increase in working capital for fiscal year 2006 was attributed to increases in cash and cash equivalents.

We paid cash dividends of $0.28 per share for each of the fiscal years 2006, 2005, and 2004. We expect to pay dividends in the future in line with our actual and anticipated future operating results.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” SFAS No. 154 replaces APB No. 20, “Accounting Changes”, and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements”, and established retrospective application of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 provides guidance for determining whether retrospective application is impracticable. The reporting of a correction of an error by restating previously issued financial statements is also addressed. SFAS No. 154 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2005. We will adopt SFAS No. 154 in fiscal year 2007 and believe that it will not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation.” SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations, and requires all companies to estimate the fair value of incentive stock options granted and then amortize that estimated fair value to expense over the options vesting period. We currently account for our stock option plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25. No employee or outside director compensation costs related to stock option grants are currently reflected in net income, as all option awards granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value on the date of grant. SFAS No. 123(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. We will adopt SFAS No. 123(R) in fiscal year 2007 and believe that it will not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29.” This statement addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets and redefines the scope of transactions that should be measured based on fair value of the assets exchanged. SFAS No. 153 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. We will adopt SFAS No. 153 in fiscal year 2007 and believe that it will not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 109-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, and FSP 109-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the ACT).” These FSPs provides accounting and disclosure guidelines relative to the income tax deductions and repatriation provisions contained in the ACT. These FSPs were effective upon issuance. We have not determined what impact, if any, the ACT and these FSPs may have on our financial position or results of operations.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.” SFAS No. 151 seeks to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material in the determination of inventory carrying costs. This statement requires such costs to be treated as a current period expense. SFAS No. 151 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. We will adopt SFAS No. 151 in fiscal year 2007 and believe that it will not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

SARBANES-OXLEY SECTION 404 REQUIREMENTS

On May 17, 2006, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission further extended the compliance dates for non-accelerated filers to include in their annual reports a report by management on our internal control over financial reporting and an accompanying auditor’s report. As such, we must comply with this requirement for our year ending April 30, 2008.

OUTLOOK

Our ability to predict future demand for our products is very limited, given, among other general economic factors affecting the Company and our markets, our role as subcontractor or supplier to dealers of subcontractors. In addition to these factors, demand for our products is also dependent upon the number of laboratory construction projects planned and/or current progress in projects already under construction and our success in the competitive public bidding process for many of our contracts.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk in the area of interest rates. This exposure is associated with amounts outstanding under our bank note, certain lease obligations for production machinery, and advances under our revolving credit loan, all of which are priced on a floating rate basis. The principal balance under the revolving credit loan was $8.2 million at April 30, 2006. We believe that this exposure to market risk is not material.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Kewaunee Scientific Corporation (the “Company”) is a manufacturer of laboratory and technical furniture, including steel and wood laboratory cabinetry, fume hoods, flexible systems, worksurfaces, workstations, workbenches, and computer enclosures. The Company’s sales are made through purchase orders and contracts submitted by customers, its dealers and agents, a national stocking distributor, competitive bids submitted by the Company, and its subsidiaries located in Singapore and Bangalore, India. The majority of the Company’s products are sold to customers located in North America, primarily within the United States. The Company’s laboratory products are used in chemistry, physics, biology, and other general science laboratories in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, industrial, chemical, commercial, educational, government, and health care markets. Technical products are used in manufacturing facilities of computers and light electronics, and by users of computer and networking furniture.

Principles of Consolidation    The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kewaunee Scientific Corporation and its three subsidiaries. A brief description of each subsidiary, along with the amount of the Company’s controlling financial interests, is as follows: (1) Kewaunee Labway Asia Pte. Ltd., a dealer for the Company’s products in Singapore, is 51% owned by the Company; (2) Labway Scientific India Pvt. Ltd., a dealer for the Company’s products in Bangalore, India, is 95% owned by Kewaunee Labway Asia; and (3) Kewaunee Scientific Corporation India Pvt. Ltd. in Bangalore, India, an assembly operation, is 100% owned by the Company. All intercompany balances, transactions, and profits have been eliminated. Included in the consolidated balance sheets are net assets of $5,988,000 and $3,220,000 at April 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, of the Company’s subsidiaries. Net sales by the Company’s subsidiaries in the amount of $12,044,000, $5,642,000, and $6,178,000 were included in the consolidated statement of operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents    Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. At April 30, 2005, $2.3 million of outstanding checks in excess of offsetting cash balances were included in accounts payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. During the years ended April 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company had cash deposits in excess of FDIC insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses from such deposits.

Restricted Cash    Restricted cash includes bank deposits of a subsidiary used for performance guarantees against customer orders.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts    The Company evaluates the collectibility of its trade accounts receivable based on a number of factors. In circumstances where management is aware of a customer’s inability to meet their financial obligations to the Company, or a project dispute makes it unlikely that all of the receivable owed by a customer will be collected, a specific reserve for bad debts is estimated and recorded, to reduce the recognized receivable to the estimated amount the Company believes will ultimately be collected. In addition to specific customer identification of potential bad debts, a general reserve for bad debts is estimated and recorded based on the customer’s recent past loss history and an overall assessment of past due trade accounts receivable amounts outstanding. Accounts are written off when it is clearly established that the receivable is a bad debt.

Inventories    Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The cost of the majority of inventories is measured on the last in, first out (“LIFO”) method. The LIFO method allocates the most recent costs to cost of products sold; and, therefore, recognizes into operating results fluctuations in

24

raw materials, and other inventoriable costs more quickly than other methods. Other inventories consisted of foreign inventories and are measured at actual cost.

Property, Plant and Equipment    Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is determined for financial reporting purposes principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the individual assets or, for leaseholds, over the terms of the related leases, if shorter. The lives, by category, generally are as follows: buildings and improvements, 10-40 years; leasehold improvements, 10 years; furniture, fixtures, and office equipment, 3-5 years; computer equipment, 3-5 years; factory machinery and vehicles, 5-10 years. Management reviews the carrying value of property, plant and equipment for impairment whenever changes in circumstances or events indicate that such carrying value may not be recoverable. If projected undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the potentially impaired asset the carrying value is reduced to fair value. At April 30, 2006 and 2005, equipment financed under capital leases with a cost of $1,020,000 and $440,000, respectively, was included in machinery and equipment.

Other Assets    Other assets at April 30, 2006 and 2005 include $2,856,000 and $2,380,000, respectively, of assets held in a trust account for non-qualified benefit plans and $156,000 and $141,000, respectively, of cash surrender values of life insurance policies.

Use of Estimates    The presentation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates impacting the accompanying financial statements include the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventory valuation, and pension liabilities.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments    Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, mutual funds, cash surrender value of life insurance policies, long-term debt, and short-term borrowings. Management believes the carrying value of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair value.

Sales Recognition    Product sales are generally recognized at the date of shipment, or when customers have purchased and accepted title to the goods, but because of construction delays, have requested that the Company temporarily store the finished goods on the customer’s behalf. Deferred revenue consists of customer deposits and advance billings of the Company’s products where sales have not yet been recognized. Service revenue for installation of product sold is recognized as the installation services are performed. Accounts receivable includes retainage in the amounts of $2,604,000 and $2,593,000 at April 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales. Because of the nature and quality of the Company’s products, any warranty issues are determined in a relatively short period after the sale and are infrequent in nature, and as such, warranty costs are expensed as incurred.

Product sales resulting from fixed-price construction contracts involve a signed contract for a fixed price to provide the Company’s laboratory furniture and fume hoods for a construction project. The Company is usually in the role as a subcontractor, but in some cases may enter into a contract directly with the end-user of the products. Product sales resulting from fixed-price construction contracts are generated from multiple-element arrangements that require separate units of accounting and estimates regarding the fair value of individual elements. The Company has determined that its multiple-element arrangements that qualify as separate units of accounting are: product sales and installation services. Each of these elements represent individual units of accounting as the delivered item has value to a

25

customer on a stand-alone basis, objective and reliable evidence of fair value exists for undelivered items, and arrangements normally do not contain a general right of return relative to the delivered item. The Company determines fair value based on the price of the deliverable when it is sold separately or based on third-party evidence. In accordance with the guidance in EITF 00-21, the Company uses the residual method to allocate the arrangement consideration when the arrangement does not indicate fair value of the product sale. Under the residual method, the amount of consideration allocated to the delivered item equals the total arrangement consideration less the aggregate fair value of the undelivered items. Assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met, the Company recognizes revenue for product sales at the date of shipment.

Product sales resulting from purchase orders involve a purchase order received by the Company from its dealers or its stocking distributor. This category includes product sales for standard products, as well as products which require some customization. These sales are recognized under the terms of the purchase order which generally are freight on board (“FOB”) shipping point and do not include rights of return. Accordingly, sales are recognized at the time of shipment.

Credit Concentration    Credit risk is generally not concentrated with any one customer or industry, although the Company does enter into large contracts with individual customers from time-to-time. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers. Revenues from the Company’s national stocking distributor, VWR International, represented 14%, 15%, and 11% of the Company’s total sales in fiscal years 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively.

Income Taxes    Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

Advertising Costs    Advertising costs are expensed as incurred, including trade shows, training materials, sales samples, and other related expenses. Advertising costs for the years ended April 30, 2006, 2005, and 2004 were $282,000, $329,000, and $219,000, respectively.

Property Held for Sale    Property held for sale at April 30, 2005 consisted primarily of land and buildings in Lockhart, Texas. This property was the site of the Company’s Texas operation that was relocated to Statesville, North Carolina in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003. On May 13, 2005, the Company completed the sale of these buildings and land to a non-affiliated third party for $2,500,000 in cash. The sale was recorded in the Company’s fiscal year 2006 first quarter ending July 31, 2005 and resulted in a pretax gain of approximately $884,000, which was recorded as other operating income and resulted in an after-tax gain of approximately $540,000.

Derivative Financial Instruments    The Company records derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value and establish criteria for designation and effectiveness of hedging relationships. The nature of the Company’s business activities involves the management of various financial and market risks, including those related to changes in interest rates. The Company does derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swap contracts are employed to mitigate certain of those risks. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

Foreign Currency Translation    The financial statements of subsidiaries located outside the United States are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Balance sheet accounts of foreign subsidiaries are translated into United States dollars at year-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at weighed average exchange rates for each period. Net translation gains or losses are included in other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The Company does not provide for U.S. income taxes on foreign currency translation adjustments, since

26

it does not provide for such taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions of these subsidiaries are included in net earnings.

Earnings Per Share    Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflects the assumed exercise and conversion of outstanding options under the Company’s stock option plans, except when options have an antidilutive effect. Options to purchase 151,600 and 160,600 shares of common stock at a price of $9.10 to $12.00 were outstanding at April 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares at that date.

Accounting for Stock Options    The Company accounts for stock options granted to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method. Under this method, no compensation expense is recorded since the exercise price of the stock options is equal to the market price of the underlying stock on the grant date. The Company did not grant any stock options during fiscal years 2006, 2005, and 2004. The estimated weighted average fair value of options granted under the Company’s stock option plans were valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing models based upon the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Had compensation expense for the stock options issued been determined consistent with FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by SFAS 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation— Transition and Disclosure,” issued in December 2002, net earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per share would have been reduced to the following pro forma amounts:

$ in thousands, except per share amounts	2006		2005			2004
Net earnings (loss) as reported	$	193	$	(147	)	$	1,462
Pro forma compensation cost		—		(23	)		(62	)
Net earnings (loss) pro forma	$	193	$	(170	)	$	1,400
Net earnings (loss) per share—Basic
As reported	$	0.08	$	(0.06	)	$	0.59
Pro forma	$	0.08	$	(0.07	)	$	0.56
Net earnings (loss) per share—Diluted
As reported	$	0.08	$	(0.06	)	$	0.59
Pro forma	$	0.08	$	(0.07	)	$	0.56

Segment Reporting    Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 131, “Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” establishes standards for the way that public companies report information about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The Company has reviewed SFAS No. 131 and determined that it has a single reportable segment.

New Accounting Standards    In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” SFAS No. 154 replaces APB No. 20, “Accounting Changes,” and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements,” and established retrospective application of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 provides guidance for determining whether retrospective application is impracticable. The reporting of a correction of an error by restating previously issued financial statements is also addressed. SFAS No. 154 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 154 in fiscal year 2007 and believes that it will not have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation.” SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes

27

APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations, and requires all companies to estimate the fair value of incentive stock options granted and then amortize that estimated fair value to expense over the options vesting period. The Company currently accounts for stock option plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25. No employee or outside director compensation costs related to stock option grants are currently reflected in net income, as all option awards granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value on the date of grant. SFAS No. 123(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 123(R) in fiscal year 2007 and believes that it will not have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29.” This statement addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets and redefines the scope of transactions that should be measured based on fair value of the assets exchanged. SFAS No. 153 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 153 in fiscal year 2007 and believes that it will not have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 109-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004,” and FSP 109-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the ACT).” These FSPs provide accounting and disclosure guidelines relative to the income tax deductions and repatriation provisions contained in the ACT. These FSPs were effective upon issuance. The Company has not determined what impact, if any, the ACT and these FSPs may have on its financial position or results of operations.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.” SFAS No. 151 seeks to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material in the determination of inventory carrying costs. This statement requires such costs to be treated as a current period expense. SFAS No. 151 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 151 in fiscal year 2007 and believes that it will not have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

Note 2—Inventories

Inventories consisted of the following at April 30:

$ in thousands	2006		2005
Finished goods	$	1,653	$	1,054
Work-in-process		745		929
Materials and components		3,462		1,559
Total inventories	$	5,860	$	3,542

If inventories had been determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method at April 30, 2006 and 2005, reported inventories would have been $2.4 million greater. During fiscal year 2006, the current year LIFO index was less than 100% which decreased the cost of sales by $52,000. During fiscal year 2005, inventories were reduced. This reduction resulted in a liquidation of LIFO inventory quantities carried at lower costs prevailing in prior years as compared with the cost of fiscal year 2005 purchases, the effect of which decreased cost of sales in fiscal year 2005 by $23,000.

28

Note 3—Long-term Debt and Other Credit Arrangements

In February 2001, the Company borrowed $3.1 million under a bank loan collateralized by certain machinery and equipment, with the loan repayable in 60 equal monthly installments plus interest. In February 2002, and June 2003, it borrowed an additional $250,000 and $1.2 million, respectively, under the loan, and the monthly payments were recalculated to amortize the loan balance over the remaining term of the original loan. At April 30, 2006, the loan had been fully satisfied. At April 30, 2005, the balance of the loan of $931,000 was payable within 12 months, and the net carrying value of collateralized assets under the loan was $2,946,000.

Monthly interest payments under the bank loan were calculated at the lower of (1) the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus 1.75%, or (2) the lender’s Prime Rate minus 0.75%. The borrowing rate was 4.75% at April 30, 2005. The loan included certain financial covenants as to tangible net worth, funds flow coverage, current ratio, and ratio of liabilities to tangible net worth.

The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement in fiscal year 2002 to mitigate future fluctuations in interest rates. Under the agreement, $1.5 million of the outstanding principal amount of the bank loan effectively converted to a fixed rate of 6.37% on May 1, 2002. The notional amount of this interest rate hedge was reduced in the same proportion as the principal balance of the bank loan over the remaining term of the bank loan. The interest rate swap agreement matured February 28, 2006. The fair value of this cash flow hedge (net of tax) was a loss of $2,000 at April 30, 2005, which is reflected as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity in the consolidated financial statements.

The Company has an unsecured revolving credit facility for borrowings of up to $9 million that expires in December 2006. There were advances of $8,216,000 outstanding under this facility as of April 30, 2006. Monthly interest payments are payable under the facility calculated at the lower of (1) the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus 1.75%, or (2) the lender’s Prime Rate minus 1.00%. The borrowing rate was 6.75% and 4.85% at April 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

In fiscal years 2006 and 2005, the Company entered into several lease arrangements to fund a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system that were classified as capital leases for accounting purposes. The lease arrangements were primarily for software costs and have a term of 44 months. Scheduled lease payments, including interest, are $329,000 for fiscal year 2007.

Note 4—Income Taxes

Income tax expense (benefit) consisted of the following:

$ in thousands	2006			2005			2004
Current tax expense:
Federal	$	219		$	(114	)	$	993
State and local		(215	)		(32	)		—

The reasons for the differences between the above net income tax expense (benefit) and the amounts computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rates to earnings before income taxes are as follows:

$ in thousands	2006			2005			2004
Income tax expense (benefit) at statutory rate	$	237		$	(215	)	$	708

Net deferred tax assets	$	131		$	65

At April 30, 2006, the Company had federal tax loss carryforwards in the amount of $800,000 expiring beginning in 2025 and state loss carryforwards in the amount of $65,000 expiring at various times, primarily beginning in 2018. The Company also had tax credit carryforwards in the amount of $357,000 expiring beginning in 2020 and state tax credit carryforwards in the amount of $948,000 expiring beginning in 2006. Due to the expiration schedule of the state credits and a review of future taxable income required to utilize such credits before their expiration, a valuation allowance in the amount of $88,000 was recorded at April 30, 2006 to reflect the potential expiration of a portion of the credits in future years.

Note 5—Stock Options

During fiscal year 1992, the stockholders approved the 1991 Key Employee Stock Option Plan, and the plan was subsequently amended to increase the number of shares available for options under the plan to 230,000. During fiscal year 2001, the stockholders approved the 2000 Key Employee Stock Option Plan, which allowed the Company to grant options on 100,000 shares of the Company’s

30

common stock. Under both plans, options are granted at not less than the fair market value at the date of grant and options are exercisable in such installments, for such terms (up to 10 years), and at such times, as the Board of Directors may determine at the time of the grant. At April 30, 2006, there were no shares available for future grants under the 1991 plan, and there were 39,350 shares available for future grants under the 2000 plan. No options were granted in fiscal years 2006, 2005, and 2004.

During fiscal year 1994, the stockholders approved the 1993 Stock Option Plan for Directors, which allowed the grant of options on 40,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Each non-employee directors received an option to purchase 5,000 shares of the common stock on the effective date of the plan or on the date of commencement of service as a director. Options are exercisable in four equal, annual installments and expire five years from the date of grant. Options were granted at the fair market value at the date of grant. At April 30, 2006, no shares were available for future grants under the plan.

The Company utilized treasury stock to satisfy stock options exercised during fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004. Stock option activity and weighted average exercise price is summarized as follows:

	2006				2005				2004
	Options		Price		Options		Price		Options		Price
Outstanding at beginning of year	177,100		$	9.93	191,100		$	9.81	213,853		$	9.65
Granted	—			—	—			—	—			—
Canceled	(10,000	)		9.27	(10,500	)		9.80	(15,228	)		10.12
Exercised	(500	)		2.75	(3,500	)		3.79	(7,525	)		4.52
Outstanding at end of year	166,600		$	9.99	177,100		$	9.93	191,100		$	9.81
Exercisable at end of year	159,780		$	10.03	152,117		$	10.04	134,384		$	9.97

The options outstanding and weighted average exercise price within the following price ranges at April 30, 2006 are as follows:

Exercise price range	$8.125-$9.55		$9.95-$12.00
Options outstanding		75,500		91,100
Weighted average exercise price	$	9.09	$	10.74
Weighted average remaining contractual life (years)		4.93		3.25

The options exercisable and weighted average exercise price within the following price ranges at April 30, 2006 are as follows:

Exercise price range	$8.125-$9.55		$9.95-$12.00
Options exercisable		68,680		91,100
Weighted average exercise price	$	9.09	$	10.74

Note 6—Comprehensive Income

During fiscal years 2006 and 2005, the Company entered into several leases related to the implementation of a new ERP System that were classified as capital leases. The Company entered into a 10-year operating lease for a new distribution center in fiscal year 2003. The Company also leases some of its machinery and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. Most of these leases provide the Company with renewal and purchase options, and most leases of machinery and equipment have certain early cancellation rights. Rent expense for these operating leases was $1,637,000, $1,302,000, and $1,219,000 in fiscal years 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. Future minimum payments under the above non-cancelable lease arrangements for the years ended April 30 are as follows:

Note 8—Retirement Benefits

Defined Benefit Plans

The Company has non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all salaried and hourly employees. In February 2005, these plans were amended as of April 30, 2005. No further benefits will be earned under the plans subsequent to the amendment date, and no additional participants will be added to the plans. The defined benefit plan for salaried employees provide pension benefits that are based on each employee’s years of service and average annual compensation during the last 10 consecutive calendar years of employment as of April 30, 2005. The benefit plan for hourly employees provides benefits at stated amounts based on years of service as of April 30, 2005. the Company uses an April 30 measurement date for its defined benefit plans. The change in projected benefit obligations and the change in fair value of plan assets for the

As permitted under Paragraph 26 of FASB No. 87, the amortization of any prior service cost is determined using a straight-line amortization of the cost over the average remaining service period of employees expected to receive benefits under the plan. The components of the net periodic pension costs for each of the three years ended April 30 are as follows:

The Company’s funding policy is to contribute to the plans when pension laws and economics either require or encourage funding. The Company made contributions of $2,500,000 and $750,000 to the plans in fiscal years 2005 and 2004, respectively. No contributions were made to the plans in fiscal year 2006. No Company contributions are anticipated for fiscal year 2007.

The following benefit payments are expected to be paid form the benefit plans in the years ended April 30:

$ in thousands	Amount
2007	$	613
2008	$	652
2009	$	695
2010	$	749
2011	$	787
2012-2016	$	4,642

The Company employs a building block approach in determining the long-term rate of return for plan assets. Historical markets are studied and long-term historical relationships between equities and fixed-income securities are preserved consistent with the widely accepted capital market principle that assets with higher volatility generate a greater return over the long-term. Current market factors such as inflation and interest rates are evaluated before long-term capital market assumptions are determined. The expected long-term portfolio return is established via a building block approach with proper consideration of diversification and rebalancing. Peer data and historical returns are also reviewed to check for reasonability and appropriateness.

The Company uses the average monthly yields for the Moody’s Aa corporate bond index as the primary benchmark for establishing the discount rate used for measuring GAAP pension obligations. The credit quality of the bonds that underlie this index is consistent with SFAS 87 and other SEC staff guidance. In addition, the current estimated duration of the Company’s pension obligations is about 14 years. The Company’s understanding is that the duration of the bonds that comprise the Moody’s Index is estimated to be about 13 years. Based on that information, there does not appear to be a significant mismatch that would cause the Moody’s Index to be an inappropriate benchmark. A 1% increase/decrease in the discount rate for fiscal years 2006 and 2005 would decrease/increase pension expense by approximately $130,000 and $231,000, respectively.

The Company used an analysis of the actual pay increase experience from 1998 to 2003 for plan participants, along with the Company’s expectations for future pay growth, to develop an age-graded salary scale which was used in determining the rate of compensation increase assumptions for fiscal year 2005. The rate of compensation increase assumption is not applicable for the determination of the benefit obligations at April 30, 2006 and 2005 or determinations of future obligations or expense, due to the cessation of benefit accruals.

The Company employs a total return investment approach, whereby a mix of equities and fixed-income investments are used to maximize the long-term return of plan assets for a prudent level of risk. Risk tolerance is established through careful consideration of plan liabilities, plan funded status, and corporate financial condition. The investment portfolio contains a diversified blend of equity and fixed-income investments. Furthermore, equity investments are diversified across U.S. and non-U.S. stocks, as well as growth, value, and small and large capitalizations. The target allocations based on the Company’s investment policy were 65% and 70% in equity securities and 35% and 30% in fixed-income securities at April 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. A 1% increase/decrease in the expected return on assets for fiscal years 2006 and 2005 would decrease/increase pension expense by approximately $138,000 and $111,000, respectively. Plan assets by asset categories as of April 30, 2006 and 2005 were as follows:

$ in thousands Asset Category	2006			2005
	Amount		%	Amount		%
Equity securities Fixed income securities Cash and cash equivalents	$	9,797 5,721 160	62 37 1	$	8,178 1,702 4,163	58 12 30
Totals	$	15,678	100	$	14,043	100

34

Cash and cash equivalents at April 30, 2005 include the Company’s contributions to the plans of $2,500,000, which had not yet been diversified into target asset categories.

Defined Contribution Plan

The Company has a defined contribution plan covering substantially all salaried and hourly employees. The plan provides benefits to all employees who have attained age 21, completed three months of service, and who elect to participate. In fiscal years 2005 and 2004, the Company made matching contributions equal to 50% of the qualifying employee contribution, up to a maximum employer contribution of 2% of the participant’s compensation. Effective May 1, 2005, the plan was amended to provide that the Company make matching contributions equal to 100% of the employee’s qualifying contribution up to 3% of the employee’s compensation, and makes matching contributions equal to 50% of the employee’s contributions between 3% and 5% of the employee’s compensation, resulting in a maximum employer contribution equal to 4% of the employee’s compensation. Additionally, effective May 1, 2005, the plan was amended to provide that the Company make a non-matching contribution for participants employed by the Company on December 31 of each year equal to 1% of the participant’s qualifying compensation for that calendar year. The Company’s contributions to the plan in fiscal years 2006, 2005, and 2004 were $588,000, $246,000, and $270,000, respectively.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are intended to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act filings is properly and timely recorded, processed, summarized and reported. Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2006 pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that we are able to collect, process, record, and disclose, within the required time periods, the information we are required to disclose in the reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In designing disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving desired control objectives, and that management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Nevertheless, we believe that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

KEWAUNEE SCIENTIFIC CORPORATION

FISCAL YEAR 2007

INCENTIVE BONUS PLAN

The Fiscal Year 2007 Incentive Bonus Plan (the Plan) will provide for a bonus pool and bonus payouts based upon achievement of various levels of pre-tax earnings (after bonus accruals) for the year and other conditions described herein, as approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Plan is proposed as a one-year plan for Fiscal Year 2007.

The provisions of the Plan are:

1. Eligibility of Participants to Share in the Bonus Pool

a. Eligible participants of the Plan will be nominated by the President and approved by the Board of Directors, upon recommendation by the Compensation Committee. The bonus potential percentages for each participant in the Plan will also be approved by the Board of Directors, upon recommendation by the Compensation Committee.

b. Each participant will be eligible to share in the pool up to the specified percentage of his or her May 1, 2006 base salary.

c. In addition to individuals reporting directly to the President, managers fulfilling the following criteria are eligible to participate in the Plan:

1. Salary Grade 14 or above;

2. Seniority of one year or more;

3. Is not currently in another incentive plan (e.g., sales plan);

4. Is a direct report to a direct report to the President; or

5. Is a manager recommended by the President.

d. Participants in the Plan and their applicable bonus potential amounts are shown in the charts on Charts III-VII.

2. Building of a Bonus Pool

a. Operational Units

• The operational units (the Laboratory Products Group, the Technical Furniture Group, Statesville Operations, and International Operations) will start to accrue pools for potential bonus payouts once pre-tax operating earnings of each operational unit reach the amounts shown as Goal 1 on Chart I, and maximum incentive bonus payouts will be accrued and available for payout based upon the guidelines shown on that schedule.

b. Corporate Pool

• A pool will start accumulating once pre-tax earnings reach the amounts shown as Goal 1 on Chart I, and maximum bonus payouts will be accrued and available for payout based upon the guidelines shown on that schedule.

3. Bonus Payout Conditions

a. If the Company achieves pre-tax earnings less than the amounts shown as Goal 1 on page Chart I, no awards will be paid to any corporate employee with that goal, except at the discretion of the Board of Directors, upon recommendation by the Compensation Committee.

b. If an operational unit achieves pre-tax earnings less than the amounts shown for it as Goal 1 on Chart I, no awards will be paid to its employees except at the discretion of the Board of Directors, upon recommendation by the Compensation Committee.

c. All participants will earn their awards dependent on their operational unit’s performance and their individual MBO performance.

d. Beginning with the achievement of Goal 1, the bonus potential percentage for each participant is linear between each goal with the corresponding increase in pre-tax earnings, up to the individual’s maximum bonus potential percentage.

e. Positive or negative financial adjustments outside the control of management (such as, but not limited to, proceeds from insurance claims, gains or losses from the sale of capital assets, adoption of new generally accepted accounting pronouncements, etc.) will be assessed by the Board of Directors and the pre-tax earnings under the Plan may be adjusted for these items.

f. Any portion of the bonus pool not awarded to participants will be retained by the Company.

g. If a participant transfers between performance entities during the year, his or her incentive compensation will be based on the performance of the respective entities on a pro rata basis from his or her transfer date as determined by the President.

h. A participant must be an employee of the Company on the last day of the plan year (April 30) to be eligible to receive a bonus. In unusual circumstances, however, the Board of Directors, upon recommendation by the Compensation Committee, may grant a discretionary bonus.

i. The Board of Directors, upon recommendation by the Compensation Committee, may approve the pro rata participation of a participant who joins the Company or who is appointed to a key position within the Company after the outset of the Plan year, with a pro rata increase in the bonus pool.

4. Participant’s Bonus Potential

Each participant’s bonus potential will be comprised of the following:

a. A Fixed Bonus equal to 75% of each participant’s bonus potential will be based on achievement of corporate or divisional pre-tax earnings goals, as set forth in the Plan, and

b. A Discretionary Bonus up to the remaining 25% of each participant’s bonus potential will be calculated, taking into account the participant’s MBO achievements and other relevant factors during the year. The discretionary portion of each participant’s bonus will take into account the participant’s achievement of management goals established, and weighted, in May 2006, and approved by the President. The degree of achievement of these goals will be recommended by each participant’s manager immediately subsequent to April 30, 2007, and the discretionary bonus, if any, will then be determined and awarded at the discretion of the Board of Directors, upon recommendation by the President and the Compensation Committee.

5. The Plan may be amended at any time by the Board of Directors.
