Item 1.  Business
- -------  --------

General

         Raven Industries, Inc., was incorporated in February 1956 under the
laws of the State of South Dakota and began operations later that same year. The
following terms - the company, Raven or the registrant - are intended to apply
to Raven Industries, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries listed in Exhibit 21
to this report. Raven is headquartered in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, employing
approximately 920 persons in six states.

         The company began operations as a manufacturer of high-altitude
research balloons. It has diversified over the years to supply specialized
products for a number of markets, including industrial, recreation, agriculture
and military/aerospace. Many of these product lines are an extension of
technology and production methods developed in the original balloon business.
The company's pickup-truck topper product line was sold in the third quarter of
fiscal 2000. Substantially all of the company's plastic tank product lines were
sold in the third quarter of fiscal 2001.

         The company has five business segments consisting of three Raven
divisions and two subsidiaries: Electronic Systems Division, Flow Controls
Division, Engineered Films Division, Aerostar and Beta Raven. Product lines have
been grouped in these segments based on common technologies, production methods
and raw materials. However, more than one business segment may serve each of the
product markets identified above. Page 6 of the company's Annual Report to
Shareholders, incorporated herein by reference, provides financial information
concerning the five business segments.

Following is a summary of company net sales by principal product categories
(dollars in thousands):

                                       4



Business Segments

         Electronic Systems - Historically, the company's Electronic Systems
segment provided a variety of assemblies and controls to the United States
Department of Defense and other military contractors. The company has expanded
this segment's capabilities in Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) for
commercial customers to offset a decline in military contracts. Assemblies
manufactured by the Electronic Systems segment include communication,
environmental control, computer and other products where high quality is
critical.

         EMS sales are made in response to competitive bid requests by
commercial customers and military contractors. The level and nature of
competition varies with the type of product, but the company frequently competes
with a number of EMS manufacturers on any given bid request. The markets in
which the company participates are highly competitive, with customers having
many suppliers to choose from.

         Flow Controls - Flow control devices, used primarily for precision
farming applications, are designed and produced within the company's Flow
Controls segment. These devices are also used for roadside and turf chemical
spraying. The company has developed new products for field location control,
chemical injection and global positioning (GPS) to expand the company's
capabilities and support precision application in future years.

         Home office personnel sell flow control devices directly to original
equipment manufacturers(OEMs) and independent third-party distributors. The
company's competitive advantage in this segment is product reliability, ease of
use, product availability and service after the sale.

         Engineered Films - Products in the company's Engineered Films segment
include rugged reinforced plastic sheeting for industrial, construction and
agricultural applications and high altitude balloons for public and commercial
research.

         The company's sales force sells plastic sheeting to independent
third-party distributors in each of the various markets it serves. The company
extrudes a significant portion of the film converted for its commercial products
and believes it is one of the largest sheeting converters in the United States.
A number of suppliers of sheeting compete with Raven on both price and product
availability.

         This division also sells high-altitude research balloons directly to
public agencies (usually funded by the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration) or commercial users. Demand for these products is small but
stable. Raven is the largest balloon supplier for high-altitude research in the
United States.

         Aerostar - The Aerostar segment of the company produces and sells
specialty apparel for a variety of activities, including hunting and fishing.
Raven is the originator of modern hot-air ballooning and continues to be a
leader in design and technical expertise. Another product is custom-shaped
advertising inflatables that have a number of uses including parade floats and
advertising media. The operations of the former Raven Sportswear Division have
been merged into its Aerostar subsidiary.

         Specialty apparel is a contract business sold by home office



                                       5


personnel to independent third-party distributors and catalog retailers. There
are many outerwear manufacturers in the United States and abroad, and
considerable competition exists. The market for United States produced outerwear
is declining because labor costs outside the United States are significantly
below those incurred by domestic manufacturers. Within this shrinking market,
the company competes most successfully in the medium-to-higher priced range of
the market where specialty fabrics such as Gore-Tex(R) are involved, emphasizing
quality, service and manufacturing expertise.

         The Aerostar segment sells balloons through an independent third-party
dealer network. The company believes it has approximately one-third of the
United States hot-air balloon market, although others are able to compete with
lower-cost products. Inflatable devices are sold directly to corporate customers
and are subject to varying levels of competition. Generally, the more customized
the product, the greater the company's market share.

         Beta Raven - The Beta Raven segment produces and sells computerized
process-control systems primarily in the agriculture market and provides
electronics manufacturing services in industrial markets. Company sales
representatives sell computerized process-control systems directly to feedmills.
The EMS services are sold through competitive bids, competing with a number of
EMS manufacturers on any one bid.

Major Customer Information

         No customer accounted for more than 10 percent of consolidated sales in
fiscal 2001 or for more than 10 percent of the company's consolidated accounts
receivable at January 31, 2001. However, the company sells specialty apparel to
several large customers. In fiscal 2001, the top three customers in the Aerostar
segment accounted for more than half of that segment's sales. Although the loss
of these accounts would adversely affect profitability, the company believes it
has positioned the segment to absorb the impact of declining sales.

Seasonal Working Capital Requirements

         Some seasonal demand exists in Flow Control's agricultural market. The
Flow Controls Division builds product in the fall for winter/spring delivery.
Certain sales to agricultural customers offer spring dating terms for late fall
and early winter shipments. The resulting fluctuations in inventory and accounts
receivable balances may require, and have required, seasonal short-term
financing.

Financial Instruments

         The principal financial instruments the company maintains are in
accounts receivable and long-term debt. The company believes that the interest
rate, credit and market risk related to these accounts is not significant. The
company manages the risk associated with these accounts through periodic reviews
of the carrying value for non-collectability of assets and establishment of
appropriate allowances in connection with the company's internal controls and
policies. The company does not enter into hedging or derivative instruments.



                                       6



Raw Materials

         The company obtains a wide variety of materials from numerous vendors.
Principal materials include numerous electronic components for the Electronic
Systems, Flow Controls and Beta Raven segments, various plastic resins for the
Engineered Films segment and fabric for the Aerostar segment. The company has
not experienced any significant shortages or other problems in purchasing raw
materials to date, and alternative sources of supply are generally available.
However, predicting future material shortages and the related potential impact
on Raven is not possible.

Patents

         The company owns a number of patents. However, Raven does not believe
that its business, as a whole, is materially dependent on any one patent or
related group of patents. It believes the successful manufacture and sale of its
products generally depend more upon its technical expertise and manufacturing
skills.

Research and Development

         The business segments noted above conduct ongoing research and
development efforts. Most of the company's research and development expenditures
are directed toward new products in the Flow Controls and Beta Raven segments.
Total company research and development costs are disclosed in Note 1 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements located on page 26 of the Annual Report to
Shareholders, incorporated herein by reference.

Environmental Matters

         Except as described below, the company believes that it is in
compliance in all material respects with applicable federal, state and local
environmental laws and regulations. Expenditures relating to compliance for
operating facilities incurred in the past have not significantly affected the
company's capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.

         In connection with the sale of substantially all of the assets of the
company's Glasstite, Inc. subsidiary, the company has agreed to assume
responsibility for the investigation and remediation of any pre-October 29, 1999
environmental contamination at the company's Glasstite pickup-truck topper
facility in Dunnell, Minnesota as required by the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency (MPCA) or the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

         Also, in connection with the sale of substantially all of the assets of
the company's Plastic Tank Division, the company has agreed to assume
responsibility for the investigation and remediation of any pre-August 28, 2000
environmental contamination at the property located at l813 E Avenue, Sioux
Falls, S.D. in accordance with the South Dakota Department of Environment and
Natural Resources (DENR).

           The company and the purchasers of the company's Glasstite subsidiary
and Plastic Tank division have conducted preliminary environmental assessments
of the properties used in these businesses. Although these assessments are still
being evaluated by the MPCA and DENR, respectively, on the basis of the
preliminary data available there is no reason to believe that any activities
which might be required as a result of the findings of the assessments will have
a material effect on the company's results of operations, financial position or
cash flow of the company. As

* Leased, short-term

Most of the company's manufacturing plants also serve as distribution centers
and contain offices for sales, engineering and manufacturing support staff. The
company believes that its properties are, in all material respects, in good
condition and are adequate to meet existing production needs. The company owns
6.95 acres of undeveloped land adjacent to the other owned property in Sioux
Falls which is available for expansion.

Item 3.  Pending Legal Proceedings
- -------  -------------------------

The company is responsible for investigation and remediation of environmental
contamination at two of its sold facilities as described under "Environmental
Matters" on pages 7-8. In addition, the company is involved as a defendant in
lawsuits, claims or disputes arising in the normal course of its business. The
settlement of such claims cannot be determined at this time. Management believes
that any liability resulting from these claims will be substantially mitigated
by insurance coverage. Accordingly, management does not believe the ultimate
outcome of these matters will be significant to its results of operations,
financial position or cash flows.
