                             RULES 12B-25(b) AND (c)


If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense

            (a)     The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of
                    this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable
                    effort or expense;

                    report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, 11-K or Form N-SAR, or

                                    NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 11-K, 20-F, 10-Q,
N-SAR, or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed within the
prescribed period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)

         The subject annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June
30, 2002 could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense because the
Registrant requires additional time to resolve certain financial disclosure
issues that are based upon comments received from the staff of the Securities
and Exchange Commission in connection with the staff's review of the
Registrant's Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-91500). The
Company will file the subject annual report on or before the fifteenth calendar
day following the prescribed due date.

                               DT INDUSTRIES, INC.
                           FORM 12B-25 WITH RESPECT TO
                       ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K FOR THE
                            YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2002


                                     PART IV

         The Registrant expects to report a decrease in gross profits of
approximately $8.8 million for fiscal 2002 compared to fiscal 2001, which will
reflect a decrease in net sales of approximately $184.8 million and a decrease
in cost of sales of approximately $176.0 million. The Registrant also expects to
report a decrease in its operating loss of approximately $65.0 million for
fiscal 2002 compared to fiscal 2001, primarily as a result of a decrease in
selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $34.9 million and
goodwill impairment of approximately $38.2 million in fiscal 2001. The
Registrant's results of operations for fiscal 2002 reflect reduced capital
spending by customers in the markets the Registrant serves and a reduction in
the Registrant's expenses as a result of its recent corporate restructuring.
