Re: Scientific Industries Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 File No. 000-06658

Dear Mr. Gordon:

The following is our response to the comments contained in your letter dated April 5, 2005.

Response Letter Dated March 10, 2005

1. I had filed the response letter as a cover to each of the amended filings, however, I also filed it again as a "correspondence" type of filing.

Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004

Item 8A. Controls and Procedures

2. We will revise our filing of the Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2004 to include the additional language in "bold" below regarding the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as follows:

Item 8A. Controls and Procedures.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, based on an evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer of the Company has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the applicable time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms. The Company also concluded that information required to be disclosed in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There was no change in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.

Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended December 31, 2004

General

3. and 4. We will revise our filing of the Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 to include the principal executive and principal financial officer's conclusions on the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as follows:

Item 3. Controls and Procedures.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, based on an evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer of the Company has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the applicable time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms.

There was no change in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.

Exhibit 31.1 Certification of Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

4. Please note that there is only one officer who is both the CEO and CFO, therefore only one certification is filed. As a result, the introductory language of paragraph 4 is modified. The certification statement will be modified as per exhibit A attached.

I will be filing this response letter and the revised filings via EDGAR.

Sincerely,
/s/Helena R. Santos
