Raw Materials

     Raw materials and components necessary for the fabrication of

generally available from numerous sources.  The Company does not
foresee any unavailability of materials or components which would
have any material adverse effect on its overall business, or any
of its business segments, in the near term.

Patents and Trademarks

     The Company owns or is licensed under a number of patents and
trademarks in each of its product groups.  However, the loss of
any single patent or trademark would not, in the opinion of the
Company, materially affect any segment or the overall business.

Backlog

     Backlog orders believed to be firm at June 30, 1999 and 1998
are as follows (in thousands):

                               1999         1998

$17,024,000 of the 1998 backlog, was expected to be realized as

Competition

     Standex manufactures and markets products many of which have
achieved a unique or leadership position in their market.
However, the Company encounters competition in varying degrees in
all product groups and for each product line.  Competitors include
domestic and foreign producers of the same and similar products.
The principal methods of competition are price, delivery schedule,
quality of services, product performance and other terms and
conditions of sale.  During fiscal 1999, the Company invested
$16,824,000 in new plant and equipment in order to upgrade
facilities to become more competitive in all segments.

International Operations

     Substantially all international operations of the Company are
related to domestic operations and are included in the Food
Service and Industrial business segments.  International
operations are conducted at 34 plants, principally in Western
Europe.  The industry segment information regarding non-U.S.
operations on page 27 of the 1999 Annual Report is incorporated
herein by reference.

Research and Development

     Due to the nature of the manufacturing operations of Standex
and the types of products manufactured, expenditures for research
and development are not material to any segment.

Environmental and Other Matters

     To the best of its knowledge, the Company believes that it is
presently in substantial compliance with all existing applicable
environmental laws and does not anticipate that such compliance
will have a material effect on its future capital expenditures,
earnings or competitive position.
