          BARRINGER TECHNOLOGIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    In  the  opinion of the Company, the unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of  only
normal  recurring  accruals)  necessary  to  present  fairly  the
consolidated  financial position of the Company as of  March  31,
1995 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
three  months  ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.   The
accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in  the
Notes   to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  in  the  audited
consolidated financial statements of Barringer Technologies  Inc.
and  Subsidiaries included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K  for
the year ended December 31, 1994.  This report should be read  in
conjunction therewith.  The results of operations for the interim
periods  are  not  necessarily indicative of the  results  to  be
expected for the full year.

2.    As a result of the Company's history of losses, a valuation
allowance has been provided for all U.S. deferred tax assets  and
for  substantially all of the Canadian deferred tax assets.   The
deferred  tax asset relates to the Company's Canadian subsidiary,
which  has  available  tax credits and loss  carryforwards.   The
Canadian  subsidiary has a history of profitability, despite  the
consolidated  losses of the Company.  Based on this  history  and
estimated  1995  earnings, which includes earnings  from  certain
contracts,   as  well  as  available  tax  planning   strategies,
management  considers realization of the unreserved deferred  tax
asset more likely than not.

3.    Per  share data is based on the weighted average number  of
common shares outstanding.

4.    The  Company maintains voting control of more than  50%  of
Labco's  common  stock  through  an  irrevocable  agreement  with
another Labco shareholder that requires such shareholder, for  as
long  as it is a shareholder of Labco, to vote its 83,000  shares
of  Labco  common stock in the manner designated by the  Company.
The  agreement also gives the Company the right to  bid  on  such
shares of Labco should the record holder wish to sell them.

      The  Company is actively seeking a purchaser  for  its  47%
interest in Barringer Laboratories Inc. ("Labco").  As a  result,
the financial statements reflect Labco as an asset held for sale.
Management  believes it will ultimately dispose  of  Labco  at  a
gain.  Labco  is currently operating profitably and anticipates
doing so for the remainder of 1995.  However, management  will
reevaluate this estimate quarterly.

      Where appropriate, the Company's Consolidated Statement  of
Operations  and  Statement of Cash Flows have  been  restated  to
reflect Labco as held for sale.

5.    Subsequent  Event/Pro-forma - On May 9, 1995,  the  Company
completed a private  placement of its securities to two
institutional investors.  The private placement consisted of  125
units priced at  $6,000 each for an aggregate sales price  of
$750,000.   Each unit consists of 10,000 shares of the  Company's
common stock and a five year warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of
the Company's common stock at $.50 per share.  In  addition,  in
order to induce the institutional investors to enter into  this
transaction, an additional three year warrant to acquire 150,000
shares of the  Company's common stock at  $.50  per share was
issued.  The Company will use the proceeds for working capital
purposes.

The pro-forma  presentation shows  the  effect  of  the  private
placement on the financial condition of the Company by increasing
its cash  by  $750,000  and increasing shareholders'  equity  by
$750,000.

6.    At March 31, 1995, the Company's borrowings under its  line
of credit  financing arrangement with a Canadian bank,  exceeded
the amount available thereunder.  On March 23, 1995, the bank and
the Company  reached an informal understanding under  which  the
bank has acknowledged that the Company will need additional time
to come in compliance  with  the collateral formula used to
determine  borrowing ability.  The bank has indicated  that  the
period  of  time within which the Company should come back into
compliance is three to six months, however, no assurance  can  be
given as to whether or when the Company will come back  into
compliance with such formula and as to actions to be taken by the
bank.

          BARRINGER TECHNOLOGIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In order to devote its full resources to its instrument business,
primarily  the  further development, marketing and production  of
its new Model 400 Ionscan and the Company's  newly  introduced
consumer product DrugAlert, the Company has decided to sell  its
47% ownership in Labco.  Labco is an analytical services company,
principally engaged  in  environmental  monitoring,  geochemical
analysis  and image processing for the hydrocarbon,  and  mineral
exploration industries.  Since this represents the disposal of  a
separate and distinct business segment, the Company's  financial
statements, where appropriate, have been restated.  The remaining
business segment  develops, manufactures and  markets  specialty
analytical instruments for security, law enforcement, exploration
and environmental monitoring applications.  Accordingly,
management's discussion and analysis of financial condition  and
results of operations is presented on that basis.

                      CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Quarter ended March 31, 1995 Compared To Quarter ended March  31,
1994

Instruments sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1995  decreased
by  $1,644,000  or 67.7%, over the same period  last  year.   The
decrease was caused by several factors.  The quarter ended  March
31, 1994  was favorably impacted by the completion of the  major
portion of the  Eurotunnel contract  and  related  sales.   The
pending introduction of the Company's new Model 400 IONSCAN  has
caused a deferral  of  purchases until the  new  Model  400  is
available.   It is anticipated that units will become  available
late  in the second quarter of 1995.  Furthermore, because  the
Company relies  upon sales to governmental agencies,  which  are
subject to mandated procurement processes and budgetary
constraints, the selling cycle for its products  often  extends
over long periods, which can result in significant variations  in
quarterly  sales.   The Company believes that its  sales  in  the
first quarter of 1995 were impacted by these factors.  Because of
the announcement of the Model 400, the Company has  reduced  the
selling price of its existing Model 350 units.

Sales  of the research and development business during the  first
quarter of 1995, increased by $492,000, or 946%, compared to  the
same quarter  last  year.  The increase was the  result  of  the
Company being awarded a Cdn. $1,967,000 contract in  late  1994.
The project  is for the design and construction of  an  airborne
laser-fluorosensor  system.   The system  will  utilize advanced
laser and other electro-optic technologies to precisely monitor
the proliferation of oil spills in order to enhance environmental
clean-up efforts.  It is anticipated that the first unit will  be
completed in 1997.

Gross  profit  for  the Instrument and Research  and  Development
Businesses  as a percentage of sales for the quarter ended  March
31,  1995  decreased from 43.7% for the quarter ending March  31,
1994  to  27.2% for the first quarter of 1995.  The gross  profit
percentage  on research and development increased from  3.8%  for
the  first  quarter of 1994 to 4.6% for the first  quarter  1995.
The  gross  profit percentage on instrument sales decreased  from
44.6%  for  the  first  quarter of 1994 to 42.9%  for  the  first
quarter  of  1995.   The lower gross profit in  the  instrument's
segment  was  due  primarily to the sale  of  several  Model  400
prototype units to a single customer at an introductory price.

Selling,  general  and administrative expenses  for  the  quarter
ended  March  31, 1995 decreased by $10,000, or  1.6%,  over  the
comparable  period  last  year.  Selling and  marketing  expenses
increased by $20,000 while general and administrative  expenses
decreased by $30,000.  The Company continues to closely  monitor
its expenses.

Unfunded  research and development, primarily applied to IONSCANr
technology, decreased by $32,000 or 48.5%. The Company  presently
intends to increase its research and development expenditures  in
order  to  develop additional applications for IONSCAN  as  funds
become available.

Interest expense increased by $16,000 due to higher  levels  of
borrowings and increased interest rates.

Other  expense, net of income, in the first quarter of  1995  was
$5,000  as  compared to other income, net of expense, of  $17,000
for  the same period last year.  In the first quarter of 1994 the
Company  had a foreign exchange gain of $22,000 versus a loss  of
$5,000 for the comparable quarter in 1995.

Income (loss) from operations of the instrument and research  and
development  businesses was a loss of $369,000  for  the  quarter
ended March 31, 1995 as compared to a profit of $367,000 for  the
quarter  ended  March 31, 1994.  Reduced sales,  higher  interest
expense and lower other income accounted for the loss.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

     Operating Activities

The  Company's  reduced level of sales activity during  the  year
ended December 31, 1994 and the first quarter of  1995  and  the
resultant losses  of  $2,565,000  and  $368,000,  respectively,
resulted in a severe cash shortage during the last half  of  1994
and during  the  first quarter of 1995.   The  Company  has  cut
operating expenses and restructured its payments to suppliers  to
conserve cash.

On March 28, 1995, the Company introduced a new consumer product,
which is an  in-home  drug  detection  and  identification  kit
available to  consumers that will allow them  to  determine  the
presence of  illicit drugs from the sampled areas.  The  Company
has  received  a substantial number of requests from  individuals
wishing to  market the product on behalf of  the  Company.   The
Company is presently evaluating those requests and has hired a
product manager to assist in that effort as well as develop  and
execute a marketing plan.

The Company is currently seeking buyers for its  investment  in
Labco and anticipates selling its investment sometime during  the
year.

     Financing Activities

The Company presently has an interest bearing note  payable  to
Labco in the amount  of $452,000 due December  31,  1995.   At
December 31, 1994, the Company was in arrears on its interest
payments pursuant  to  such notes in the approximate amount of
$18,000.   In  early  1995, the terms of that indebtedness  were
amended to extend the due date from May 31, 1995 to December  31,
1995.  Accrued interest (including past due amounts) will be  due
June 30, 1995.  In consideration of the amendment, Labco received
two-year warrants to purchase 25,000 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $1.00 per share.  It is the  intent  of  the
Company to repay the principal of that note on  or  before  the
amended due date from funds generated from either the sale of its
47%  interest in Labco, or from the proceeds from the sale of the
Company's securities, or a combination thereof.  If it is  unable
to pay the principal when due, the Company presently intends  to
negotiate  an additional extension of time in which to  pay  such
principal.  If the Company  is unsuccessful  in  obtaining  an
extension of time during which to pay the principal, the  Company
could lose its investment in Labco.

Pursuant to the  terms of the line of credit arrangement  Labco
entered into with a commercial lender, Labco is prohibited  from
transferring funds to the Company in the form of dividends, loans
or advances or repayments.

On  May 9, 1995, the Company completed a private placement of its
securities to two institutional investors.  The private placement
consisted  of  125 units priced at $6,000 each for  an  aggregate
sales price of $750,000.  Each unit consists of 10,000 shares  of
the  Company's common stock and a five year warrant  to  purchase
10,000  shares of the Company's common stock at $.50  per  share.
In  addition,  in order to induce the institutional investors  to
enter into this transaction, an additional three year warrant  to
acquire 150,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $.50  per
share  was issued.  The Company will use the proceeds for working
capital purposes, principally for manufacturing the Company's new
Model 400 IONSCANr and related sales and promotional expenses and
will  use  up  to  $150,000 to develop  a  sales,  marketing  and
operational  infrastructure to support sales of its  new  in-home
drug detection and identification kit.

     Investment Activities

Purchases  of fixed assets for the quarter ended March  31,  1995
were approximately $133,000.  The Company anticipates  that  for
the balance  of 1995 it will require approximately  $200,000  in
capital additions.   The Company has no  major  commitments  for
capital purchases at this time.  The funds  required for this
equipment would be provided by financing or investment
activities.

     Inflation

Inflation  was not a material factor in either the sales  or  the
operating  expenses of the Company during the  periods  presented
herein.

                     OPERATION HELD FOR SALE

Quarter ended March 31, 1995 Compared to Quarter ended March  31,
1994

Sales  of services for the three months ended March 31,  1995  of
$1,442,000 represents a decrease of $110,000 (7.1%) from the same
period in 1994.  The  Environmental  Division  experienced  an
increase in sales of $93,000 (10.3%) primarily due to an existing
customer's large project which generated sales of  $198,000  for
the three months ended March 31, 1995, offset by volume decreases
of $105,000 from other existing customers.  The Mineral Division
experienced a decrease of $203,000 (31.4%) due to customer volume
decreases caused by severe wet weather in the Sierra Mountains of
California and Nevada.   Additionally,  there  was  an  $88,000
special one time project in the three months ended  March  31,
1994.  These decreases were offset by sales in Mexico of $64,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1995 compared to no  sales
for the same period in 1994.  The continual wet weather  in  the
Sierra Mountains has caused the Mineral Division's  April  1995
sales volume to be behind April 1994.

Gross  profit as a percentage of sales for the three months ended
March 31, 1995 was 25.0% as compared to 25.4% for the same period
in  1994.  This decrease was due to production inefficiencies  in
the Mineral Division lab caused by lower sales.

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31,  1995  of
$350,000 increased by $8,000 (2.3%) from the same period in  1994
primarily due to higher travel expenses and directors' expenses.

Other expenses for the three months ended March  31, 1995 were
$8,000 compared to $17,000 for the same period in 1994.   This
decrease of $9,000 was primarily due to lower financing  costs
associated with the working line of credit.

Income  before income taxes for the three months ended March  31,
1995 was $3,000 compared to income of $36,000 for the same period
in 1994.   This decrease of $33,000 was primarily due to  volume
decreases in sales and production inefficiencies in the  Mineral
Division, and higher selling/general administration  expenses,
offset by lower financing costs associated with the working line
of credit.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Cash totaled $32,000 at March 31 1995, compared with $39,000  at
December 31, 1994.  The $7,000 decrease in cash resulted from
cash provided by operating activities of $44,000 which was offset
by cash used for the purchase of equipment of $46,000 and net
cash used in financing activities of $5,000.

Cash  used for purchase of property and equipment of $46,000  was
for lab equipment to support increased sales in the Environmental
Division.

The Company is currently seeking to sell its investment in Labco.
If the investment is sold, the proceeds would be used to pay down
the note due Labco.  Labco is carrying the note as a non-current
asset.

Labco has a working line of credit from a lending institution.
This line of credit availability is equal to  80%  of  Labco's
eligible accounts  receivable.  This line of credit  is  funding
Labco's current working capital requirements and has  also  been
used to guarantee a $150,000 letter of credit required by the
Colorado Department of Health to increase the level of Labco's
Radiochemistry license.  This increase in the license gives Labco
the ability to grow the radiochemistry analytical business.
Labco's management believes that the existing line of credit  is
adequate to meet Labco's working capital requirements for the
next 12 months.

     Inflation

Inflation was not a material factor in either the sales  or  the
operating expenses of Labco during the periods presented herein.

Labco continues to evaluate its Mexican subsidiary operations  to
determine if it will be affected by the devaluation of the
Mexican peso and the high inflationary rate in Mexico.  At  March
31,  1995, the Mexican subsidiary comprised less than 10% of  the
total assets and revenues of Labco.
