NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

(in thousands, except per-share amounts)

(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

Raven Industries, Inc. (the Company or Raven) is ~~an industrial manufacturer~~a diversified technology company providing a variety of products to customers within the industrial, agricultural, energy, construction and military/aerospace markets, primarily in North America. The Company is comprised of three unique operating units, or divisions, classified into ~~three~~ reportable segments: Applied Technology, Engineered Films and Aerostar.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial information, which includes the accounts of Raven and its wholly-owned or controlled subsidiaries, net of intercompany balances and transactions which have been eliminated, has been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, it does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. This financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of this financial information have been included. Financial results for the interim three- and ~~six~~nine-month periods ended ~~July~~October 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending January 31, 2013. The January 31, 2012 consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. These affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Noncontrolling interests represent capital contributions, income and loss attributable to the owners of less than wholly-owned and consolidated entities. The Company owns a 75% interest in an entity consolidated under the Aerostar business segment. Given the Company's majority ownership interest, the accounts of the business venture have been consolidated with the accounts of the Company, and a noncontrolling interest has been recorded for the noncontrolling investor interests in the net assets and operations of the business venture. This joint venture was capitalized during the three months ended October 31, 2011. No capital contributions were made by the noncontrolling interest ~~during~~since the ~~three and six-month periods ended July 31, 2012.~~initial capitalization.

On May 23, 2012, the Board of Directors declared a two-for-one split of the Company's common stock to be effected in the form of a stock dividend. The record date for the stock dividend was July 10, 2012, with the shares distributed on July 25, 2012. Upon completion of the stock split, paid in capital and retained earnings were reduced by $7,405 and $25,193, respectively, while the Company's shares outstanding increased from approximately 32,598 shares to 65,196 shares. All share and per share amounts in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect the stock split and have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented.

~~For the six months ended July 31, 2012, the Company revised the amounts previously presented for cash used in investing activities and cash used in financing activities by $1,867~~ for acquisition-related contingent liability payments during the three months ended April 30, 2012. This immaterial change increased cash used in financing activities and decreased cash used in investing activities by $~~1,867. The Company will revise the statement of cash flows for the three months ended April 30, 2012 for this item in future filings~~.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies as described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012.

The Company did, however, evaluate and update its revenue recognition policy to reflect characteristics of contracts entered into by its subsidiary, Vista Research, Inc. (Vista) acquired in January 2012. Raven recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and has been earned. Revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the sales price is determinable, collectability is reasonably assured and shipment or delivery has occurred (depending on the terms of the sale). The Company sells directly to customers or distributors who incur the expense and commitment for any post-sale obligations beyond stated warranty terms. Estimated returns, sales allowances or warranty charges are recognized upon shipment of a product. The Company ~~has updated its policy to recognize~~recognizes revenue on certain long-term, service-related contracts under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, whereby contract revenues are recognized on a pro-rata basis based upon the ratio of costs incurred compared

~~(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER-SHARE AMOUNTS)~~

to total estimated contract costs. Losses estimated to be incurred upon completion of contracts are charged to operations when they become known. ~~This addition to our policy will better match revenues with the expenses on these contracts.~~

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER-SHARE AMOUNTS)

(3) NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares and stock units outstanding. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding which includes the shares issuable upon exercise of employee stock options (net of shares assumed purchased with the option proceeds), stock units and restricted stock units outstanding. Performance share awards are included in the diluted calculation based upon what would be issued if the end of the most recent reporting period was the end of the term of the award.

Certain outstanding options and restricted stock units were excluded from the diluted net income per-share calculations because their effect would have been anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. For the three- and ~~six~~nine-month periods ended ~~July~~October 31, 2012, ~~393~~368 and ~~352~~398 options and restricted stock units were excluded, respectively. For the three- and ~~six~~nine-month periods ended ~~July~~October 31, 2011, ~~272~~zero and 272 options were excluded, respectively.

The computation of earnings per share is presented below:

(5) ACQUISITIONS OF AND INVESTMENTS IN BUSINESSES AND TECHNOLOGIES

Pursuant to the Company's 2009 purchase of substantially all of the assets of Ranchview Inc. (Ranchview), a privately held Canadian corporation, Raven agreed to pay contingent consideration for future sales of Ranchview products up to a maximum of $4,000. During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company paid $1,841 in cash to the previous Ranchview owner for an early buyout of the outstanding acquisition-related contingent liability. This resulted in a gain of $508 ~~during the first quarter of fiscal~~ ~~2013~~which is included in Applied Technology operating income.

In connection with the January 2012 stock purchase agreement of Vista, Raven agreed to pay additional contingent consideration of $3,250 upon receipt of a specific quantity of smart sensing radar system delivery orders by January 13, 2013 and another $3,250 upon the delivery of a specific quantity by January 13, 2014. The first milestone was met and Raven paid $3,250 of the accrued liability for contingent consideration in November 2012.

(10) SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Under the Amended and Restated 2010 Stock Incentive Plan effective March 23, 2012, administered by the Personnel and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, two types of awards were granted during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2012.

Stock Option Awards

~~The~~On April 2, 2012, the Company granted 151 non-qualified stock ~~options during~~options. On August 27, 2012, the ~~three months ended April 30, 2012.~~Company granted an additional 8 non-qualified stock options. Options are granted with exercise prices not less than market value of the Company's common stock at the date of grant. The stock options vest over a four-year period and expire after five years. Options contain retirement and change-in-control provisions that may accelerate the vesting period. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within this valuation model.

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER-SHARE AMOUNTS)

The fair value of options granted during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~April 30,~~October 31, 2012 was estimated using the following ~~weighted average~~ assumptions:


				Grant Date
				April 2, 2012		August 27, 2012
Risk-free interest rate	0.86		%	0.86	%	0.86	%
Expected dividend yield	1.33		%	1.33	%	1.41	%
Expected volatility factor	49.65		%	49.65	%	49.11	%
Expected option term (in years)	3.75			3.75		3.75

Weighted average grant date fair value	$	10.96

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the nine months ended October 31, 2012 was $10.92.

The Company did not grant any options during the three and nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, ~~2012 or during the three and six months ended April 30,~~ 2011 ~~and July 31, 2011.~~.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards

The Company granted 21 time-vested and 51 performance-based restricted stock units to employees during the three months ended April 30, 2012. Time-vested restricted stock units will vest, if at the end of the three-year period, the employee remains employed

~~(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER-SHARE AMOUNTS)~~

by the Company. The performance-based restricted stock units will vest if, at the end of the three-year performance period, the Company has achieved certain performance goals and the employee remains employed by the Company. The exact number of performance shares to be issued will vary from 0% to 150% of the target award, depending on the Company's actual performance over the three-year period in comparison to the target award goal based on return on sales (ROS), which is defined as net income divided by net sales. Dividends are cumulatively earned on both types of restricted stock units over the vesting period.

The fair value of a time-vested restricted stock unit is measured based upon the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The grant date fair value of the time-vested restricted stock units was $31.66.

The fair value of the performance-based restricted stock units is based upon the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the grant date multiplied by the number of restricted stock units granted, which is determined by an estimated ROS target over the three-year performance period. The estimated ROS performance used to estimate the number of restricted stock units expected to vest is evaluated at least quarterly. The number of restricted stock units issued at the vesting date will be based on actual results. The fair value of the performance-based restricted stock units on the grant date was $31.66.

No time-vested or performance-based restricted stock units were granted during the three months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2012 or the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~April 30,~~October 31, 2011 ~~and July 31, 2011.~~.

(11) SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company's reportable segments are defined by their common technologies, production processes and inventories. The Company measures the performance of its segments based on their operating income excluding administrative and general expenses. Other expense and income taxes are not allocated to individual operating segments, and assets not identifiable to an individual segment are included as corporate assets. Segment information is reported consistent with the Company's management reporting structure.

The Company has three business segments: Applied Technology Division, Engineered Films Division and Aerostar Division. The Company realigned the assets and team members of its Electronic Systems Division and deployed them into the Company's Aerostar and Applied Technology Divisions effective June 1, 2012. The realigned divisions will better align the Company's corporate structure with its mission and long-term growth strategies. Electronic Systems net sales of electronic manufacturing assemblies were realigned to Aerostar and the remaining proprietary products, after adjustments to intersegment eliminations, to Applied Technology. The Company adjusted its segment information, retrospectively, for all periods presented to reflect this change in segment reporting. This unaudited, adjusted segment information was derived from audited financial statements as of and for the years ended January 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010 as well as the unaudited financial statements for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, ~~2011.~~2011.

(12) NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Accounting Standards Adopted

During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2012 there were no accounting pronouncements adopted or ~~accounting pronouncements~~ effective that are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company.

Pending Accounting Standards

In July 2012 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02, "Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment" (ASU No. ~~2012-2)~~2012-02). ASU No. ~~2012-2~~2012-02 is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of testing indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill for impairment. It allows Raven to perform a "qualitative" assessment to determine whether further impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets is necessary, similar in approach to the goodwill impairment test. The revised guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following commentary on the operating results, liquidity, capital resources and financial condition for Raven Industries, Inc. (the Company or Raven) should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Company's Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended January 31, 2012. There have been no material changes to the Company's critical accounting policies discussed therein, however, the Company did evaluate and update its revenue recognition policy to include revenue recognition using the percentage-of completion method of accounting for certain long-term, service-related contracts entered into by one of the Company's subsidiaries.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Raven is a diversified technology company providing a variety of products to customers within the industrial, agricultural, energy, construction and military/aerospace markets. The Company is comprised of unique operating units, classified into three reportable segments: Applied Technology Division, Engineered Films Division and Aerostar Division. While each segment has distinct characteristics, the products and technologies are largely extensions of durable competitive advantages rooted in the original research balloon business.

Effective June 1, 2012, the Company realigned the assets and team members of its Electronic Systems Division and deployed them into the Company's Aerostar and Applied Technology Divisions. The realigned divisions will better align the Company's corporate structure with its mission and long-term growth strategies. Electronic Systems net sales of electronic manufacturing assemblies were realigned to Aerostar and the remaining proprietary products, after adjustments to intersegment eliminations, to Applied Technology. The Company retrospectively adjusted its segment information for all periods presented to reflect this change in segment reporting. This unaudited, adjusted segment information was derived from audited financial statements as of and for the years ended January 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010 as well as the unaudited financial statements for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2011.

Management uses a number of metrics to assess the Company's performance:

Consolidated net sales, gross margins, operating income, operating margins, net income and earnings per share

Cash flow from operations and shareholder returns

Return on sales, assets and equity

Segment net sales, gross profit, gross margins, operating income and operating margins

Vision and Strategy

Raven envisions serving the world with technology that helps grow more food, produce more energy, protect the environment and help people live safely. These are great challenges of today and of our near future which the Company will help to solve.

The Company's primary strategy to achieve this vision is the maintenance of a diversified portfolio of businesses that share a common purpose but serve different markets providing balance, opportunity and risk mitigation. Diversification has enabled the Company to consistently generate cash, achieve profitability and maintain financial strength by limiting the impact of market disruptions and facilitating growth in both strong and weak economic cycles. Additionally, the Company continues to achieve increased geographic, product and market diversification.

#13

The Company's overall approach to creating value, which is employed across the three unique business segments, is summarized as follows:

Expand in market segments that have strong prospects for growth and above-average profit margins.

Compete on quality, service, innovation and peak performance.

Reinvest cash generated from operations to fuel growth. Capital is allocated aggressively when the prospects are high for above-average risk-adjusted returns on capital. If the Company accumulates cash in excess of investment opportunities for above-average risk-adjusted returns, it will be returned to shareholders.

Make corporate responsibility a top priority.

Continue to increase the quarterly dividend on an annual basis.

Management is pursuing ~~opportunities to add~~ new ~~markets~~market opportunities to add stability and mitigate volatility for its aerostat ~~business as well as continuing~~business. Through Vista, the Company is working on a number of initiatives to broaden its customer base and sell into new markets. With the integration of Electronic Systems into Aerostar's operations, bid opportunities for electronics manufacturing are increasing. Management intends to continue to manage the short-term responsibly, carefully monitoring discretionary spending, staffing levels and R&D. ~~At the same time, management continues to invest in the integration of Electronic Systems and Vista into Aerostar operations.~~

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's balance sheet continues to reflect significant liquidity and a strong capital base. Management focuses on the current cash balance and operating cash flows in considering liquidity, as operating cash flows have historically been Raven's primary source of liquidity. Management expects that current cash, combined with the generation of positive operating cash flows, will be sufficient to fund the Company's normal operating, investing and financing activities. Sufficient borrowing capacity also exists if necessary for a large acquisition or major business expansion.

Raven's cash needs are seasonal, with working capital demands strongest in the first quarter. As a result, the discussion of trends in operating cash flows focuses on the primary drivers of year-over-year variability in working capital.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled ~~$44.1~~$48.1 million at ~~July~~October 31, 2012, an ~~$18.3~~increase of $22.3 million ~~increase compared to $25.8~~from $25.8 million at January 31, ~~2012.~~2012. The comparable balance one year earlier was ~~$47.0 million.~~$44.2 million. Increases in capital expenditures and a $12.0 million payment to acquire Vista in the fourth quarter last year were offset by cash flows from operations.

Raven has an uncollateralized credit agreement that provides a $10.5 million line of credit ~~with~~and expires November 30, 2013. There is no outstanding balance under the line of credit at ~~July~~October 31, ~~2012.~~2012. The line of credit is reduced by outstanding letters of credit totaling $1.0 million as of ~~July~~October 31, ~~2012. The credit line, which matures on November 30,~~ 2012 ~~is expected to be renewed during fiscal 2013.~~.

Operating Activities

Operating cash flows result primarily from cash received from customers, which is offset by cash payments for inventories, services, employee compensation and income taxes. Management evaluates working capital levels through the computation of average days sales outstanding and inventory turnover. Average days sales outstanding is a measure of the Company's efficiency in enforcing its credit policy. The inventory turnover ratio is a metric used to evaluate the effectiveness of inventory management, with further consideration given to balancing the disadvantages of excess inventory with the risk of delayed customer deliveries.

Cash provided by operating activities was $~~44.5~~58.0 million infor the first ~~half~~nine months of fiscal 2013 compared with $~~26.3~~37.7 million in the first ~~half~~nine months of fiscal 2012. The increase in operating cash flows is the result of higher Company earnings, collection of accounts receivable balances and lower inventory growth.

~~Inventory~~Changes in inventory and accounts receivable generated ~~$15.2~~$9.9 million of cash in the first ~~half~~nine months of fiscal 2013 versus consuming ~~$9.7~~$16.8 million one year ago. The Company's inventory turnover rate declined from the prior year due to higher raw material inventory levels to support increased sales (trailing 12-month inventory turn of 5.3X in fiscal 2013 versus ~~5.7X~~5.4X in fiscal 2012). Cash collections continue to be efficient ~~with~~despite the increase in trailing 12 ~~month~~months days sales outstanding of 4849 days at ~~July~~October 31, 2012 ~~and July~~ compared to 47 days at October 31, 2011.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities totaled ~~$16.8 million in the first half of fiscal 2013 versus~~ $~~$10.5~~23.0 million in the first ~~half~~nine months of fiscal 2013 compared to $21.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2012, reflecting a ~~$5.9~~$0.8 million increase in capital expenditures. Year-to-date capital spending consisted primarily of expenditures in Engineered Films manufacturing, Applied Technology research and training centers and renovations to the Company's headquarters.

Management anticipates fiscal 2013 capital spending in the $35 million range. In addition, management will evaluate strategic acquisitions that result in expanded capabilities and solidify competitive advantages. As part of the Company's investment in corporate infrastructure, Raven is investing approximately $15-$20 million over a 3-5 year period to renovate its downtown Sioux Falls corporate headquarters.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities was ~~$9.3~~$12.8 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~July~~October 31, 2012 ~~versus $6.4~~ compared to $9.4 million ~~in the prior year's first half.~~ one year ago. Dividends of ~~$7.6~~$11.4 million, or 10.5 cents per share, were paid during the current year compared to ~~$6.5~~$9.8 million, or 9 cents per share, in the prior year. During the ~~six~~nine months ended in fiscal 2013, the Company made a $1.9 million payment to

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements regarding the expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The Company intends that all forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, there is no assurance that these assumptions are correct or that these expectations will be achieved. Assumptions involve important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect results in the future. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those relating to weather conditions and commodity prices, which could affect sales and profitability in some of the Company’s primary markets, such as agriculture, construction, and oil and gas well drilling; or changes in competition, raw material availability, technology or relationships with the Company’s largest customers—any of which could adversely affect any of the Company’s product lines—as well as other risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012 under Item 1A.

ITEM 3.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The exposure to market risks pertains mainly to changes in interest rates on cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. The Company has no debt outstanding as of ~~July~~October 31, 2012. The Company does not expect operating results or cash flows to be significantly affected by changes in interest rates. Additionally, the Company does not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. However, the Company does utilize derivative financial instruments to manage the economic impact of fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates on those transactions that are denominated in currency other than its functional currency, which is the U.S. dollar. The use of these financial instruments had no material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company's subsidiaries that operate outside the United States use their local currency as the functional currency. The functional currency is translated into U.S. dollars for balance sheet accounts using the period-end exchange rates and average exchange rates for the statement of income. Adjustments resulting from financial statement translations are included as cumulative translation adjustments in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholders' equity. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses are recognized in the period incurred and are included in "Other (expense), net" in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Foreign currency fluctuations had no material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
