Kewaunee Scientific Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
A. Financial Information
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Kewaunee Scientific Corporation (the Company or Kewaunee) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
These interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of these financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Companys 2012 Annual Report to Stockholders. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2012 included in this interim period filing has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and related notes required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for complete financial statements.
The preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
B. Inventories
Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):
January 31, 2013 | April 30, 2012 | |||||||
Finished products |
$ | 3,692 | $ | 3,570 | ||||
Work in process |

|
|
|
|
|||||
$ | 12,888 | $ | 11,760 | |||||
|
|
|
|
For interim reporting, LIFO inventories are computed based on year-to-date quantities and interim changes in price levels. Changes in quantities and price levels are reflected in the interim consolidated financial statements in the period in which they occur.

D. Defined Benefit Pension Plans
The Company has non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all salaried and hourly employees. These plans were amended as of April 30, 2005, no further benefits have been, or will be, earned under the plans, subsequent to the amendment date, and no additional participants will be added to the plans. Contributions of $1,000,000 were paid to the plans during the nine months ended January 31, 2013, and the Company does not expect any contributions to be paid to the plans during the remainder of the fiscal year. Contributions of $402,000 were made during the nine months ended January 31, 2012.

E. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the three and nine month periods. Diluted earnings per share reflects the assumed exercise and conversion of outstanding options under the Companys stock option plans, except when options have an anti-dilutive effect. Options to purchase 118,400 shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine month periods ended January 31, 2013, because the option exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares at that date, and accordingly, such options would have an antidilutive effect. Options to purchase 308,800 shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine month periods ended January 31, 2012, because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The Companys 2012 Annual Report to Stockholders contains managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations at and for the year ended April 30, 2012. The following discussion and analysis describes material changes in the Companys financial condition since April 30, 2012. The analysis of results of operations compares the three and nine months ended January 31, 2013 with the comparable periods of the prior year.
Results of Operations
Sales for the three months ended January 31, 2013 were $27,450,000, an increase of 27% from sales of $21,574,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. Sales for the quarter benefited from the Companys strengthened domestic dealer network, broadened international dealer network, and lower manufacturing costs. Sales from Domestic Operations were $20,445,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2013, up from $17,142,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. The domestic marketplace for privately-funded projects continued to hold up relatively well during the quarter, while opportunities for publicly-funded wood educational projects remained well below pre-recession levels, as state and local governments continued to receive significantly lower funding for capital projects. Sales from International Operations were $7,005,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2013, up from $4,432,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. The Company continues to see increased opportunities for sales and orders in its Asia and Middle East laboratory markets.
Sales for the nine months ended January 31, 2013 were $85,318,000, up 16% from sales of $73,857,000 in the same period last year. Domestic Operations sales were $68,757,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2013, up from sales of $64,364,000 in the same period last year. International Operation sales were $16,561,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2013, up from sales of $9,493,000 in the same period last year.
The order backlog was $84.5 million at January 31, 2013, as compared to $86.2 million at April 30, 2012 and $77.1 million at January 31, 2012.
The gross profit margin for the three months ended January 31, 2013 was 18.2% of sales, as compared to 17.5% of sales in the comparable quarter of the prior year. The gross profit margin for the nine months ended January 31, 2013 was 18.1% of sales, as compared to 16.0% of sales in the comparable period of the prior year. The increases in the gross profit margin percentages for the current year periods were primarily due to benefits associated with higher manufacturing volumes, a more favorable product mix, and reduced manufacturing and overhead costs.
Operating expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2013 were $4,054,000, or 14.8% of sales, as compared to $3,990,000, or 18.5% of sales, in the comparable period of the prior year. Operating expenses for the nine months ended January 31, 2013 were $12,205,000, or 14.3% of sales, as compared to $11,950,000, or 16.2% of sales in the comparable period of the prior year. The current year periods were favorably impacted by lower costs resulting from cost reduction actions initiated in the second half of the prior year. These lower costs substantially offset higher expenses associated with the increase in sales and higher pension expense. Pension expense increased by $111,000 and $332,000 for the three and nine month periods of the current year, respectively, as compared to the comparable periods of the prior year.
Interest expense was $80,000 and $295,000 for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2013, as compared to $110,000 and $333,000 for the comparable periods of the prior year. The decreases for the current year periods resulted from lower borrowing levels.
Income tax expense of $177,000 and $962,000 was recorded for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2013, as compared to income tax benefits of $170,000 and $237,000 recorded for the comparable periods of the prior year. The effective tax rates were 18.5% and 29.7% for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2013, respectively. These rates were favorably impacted by tax rates for the Companys international subsidiaries and the impact of state and federal tax credits. Additionally, since the federal research and development (R&D) tax credit was reinstated in January 2013 retroactive to 2012, the cumulative impact of these tax credits for the first six months of the fiscal year was considered in the third quarter effective tax rate calculation. The effective tax rates were credits of 125% and 94.4% for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012, respectively. The effective tax rates for these periods are reflective of favorable federal and state income tax credits combined with reported net losses.
Noncontrolling interests related to the Companys two subsidiaries that are not 100% owned by the Company reduced net earnings by $238,000 and $450,000 for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2013, respectively. Net earnings were reduced by $156,000 and $211,000 for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012, respectively. The changes in the net earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest in the current periods were due to the change in earnings of the two subsidiaries in the related periods.
Net earnings of $544,000, or $0.21 per diluted share, was reported for the three months ended January 31, 2013, compared to a net loss of $122,000, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the prior year period. Net earnings of $1,827,000, or $0.71 per diluted share, was reported for the nine months ended January 31, 2013, compared to a net loss of $225,000, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the same period last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, the Companys principal sources of liquidity have been funds generated from operations, supplemented as needed by short-term borrowings under the Companys revolving credit facility. Additionally, certain machinery and equipment are financed by non-cancellable operating leases or capital leases. The Company believes that these sources will be sufficient to support ongoing business requirements in the current year, including capital expenditures.
The Company had working capital of $24,286,000 at January 31, 2013, as compared to $23,358,000 at April 30, 2012. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.5-to-1.0 at January 31, 2013, as compared to 2.2-to-1.0 at April 30, 2012. At January 31, 2013, advances of $2,707,000 were outstanding under the Companys bank revolving credit facility, as compared to advances of $6,816,000 outstanding as of April 30, 2012. Total bank borrowings and capital lease obligations were $6,224,000 at January 31, 2013, as compared to $10,519,000 at April 30, 2012.
The Companys operations provided cash of $5,328,000 during the nine months ended January 31, 2013. Cash was primarily provided from earnings and a decrease in accounts receivable of $3,188,000, partially offset by an increase in inventories of $1,128,000.

Outlook
The Companys ability to predict future demand for its products continues to be limited given its role as subcontractor or supplier to dealers for subcontractors. Demand for the Companys products is also dependent upon the number of laboratory construction projects planned and/or current progress in projects already under construction. The Companys earnings are also impacted by increased costs of raw materials, including stainless steel, wood, and epoxy resin, and whether the Company is able to increase product prices to customers in amounts that correspond to such increases without materially and adversely affecting sales. Additionally, since prices are normally quoted on a firm basis in the industry, the Company bears the burden of possible increases in labor and material costs between the quotation of an order and delivery of a product. The Company is also unable to predict the timing and strength of the global economic recovery and its short-term and long-term impact on its operations and the markets in which it competes.

REVIEW BY INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
A review of the interim consolidated financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for each of the three and nine month periods ended January 31, 2013 and January 31, 2012 has been performed by Cherry Bekaert LLP, the Companys independent registered public accounting firm.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Kewaunee Scientific Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of January 31, 2013, the related consolidated statements of operations, and comprehensive income (loss) for the three-month and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended January 31, 2013 and 2012. These interim consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), 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 reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the interim consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and stockholders equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) and in our report dated July 13, 2012, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2012 is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated financial statement from which it has been derived.
