                  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 June 30, 1996 and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,  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,  1995.  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 net  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 1996
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.  Earnings  (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income  (loss),  less
preferred stock dividend requirements,  by the weighted average number of common
and common equivalent shares  outstanding  during the period.  Common equivalent
shares consist of the dilutive effect,  if any, of unissued shares under options
and warrants,  computed using the treasury stock method (using the average stock
prices for  primary  basis and the higher of average or period end stock  prices
for fully-diluted  basis). In applying the treasury stock method, the provisions
of Accounting  Principles Board Opinion 15, paragraph 38 were considered and had
a dilutive effect on the  fully-diluted  earnings per share  calculation for the
six months  ended June 30,  1996.  The effect of this  provision is to limit the
amount of shares purchased under the treasury stock method to 20% of outstanding
shares and apply the excess proceeds to reduce  borrowings and related  interest
expense.

   4. The Company maintains a  26%  interest in Barringer Laboratories, Inc. and
accounts for this investment on the equity method.

5. The Company's  Agreement  with the  Toronto-Dominion  Bank  contains  certain
covenants which the Company's  Canadian  subsidiary must meet. At June 30, 1996,
certain of the financial  covenants  were not met. The Company has  periodically
failed to meet various of the  covenants,  but the Bank has continued to provide
funding in accordance with past practices.  Management believes the Company will
re-establish compliance. If the Company continues to periodically fail to comply
with the terms of the  facility,  management  believes the Bank will continue to
provide funding in accordance with past practices,  however,  the Company cannot
predict what actions, if any, the Bank may take or as to the timing thereof.

6.  Subsequent  Event - On July 10,  1996,  the  Company  completed  the sale of
$1,000,000 of its 6% Convertible Subordinated Debentures, due 1997, in a private
transaction to  institutional  and private  investors and members of management.
The  Debentures  are due July 9,  1997 and are  convertible  into  shares of the
Company's Common Stock at the rate of $2.75 per share of Common Stock.  Interest
is payable semi-annually.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations.

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

Quarter ended June 30, 1996 Compared To Quarter ended June 30, 1995

     Sales of all  instruments  increased  by  $936,000,  or 58.1% in the second
quarter  of 1996  compared  to the  second  quarter  of 1995.  Sales of  Ionscan
instruments and related products increased by approximately  $661,000, or 44.1%,
in the  second  quarter of 1996  compared  to the  second  quarter  of 1995,  on
increased unit sales of  approximately  56%. This was due to increased  sales of
the Model 400 which was  introduced  in the first  quarter  of 1995.  Management
believes the increased sales resulted from an expanded market,  coupled with the
Model 400 having a lower selling price than its predecessor Model 350, and being
smaller, lighter and containing more features. In addition, the Company has been
successful  in adapting  its units to suit  customer  needs in order to increase
unit sales.  Sales of  instruments  other than  Ionscan  products  increased  by
approximately  $275,000,  or 243% in the second  quarter of 1996 compared to the
second quarter of 1995,  principally due to the award in 1995 of the heavy water
analyzer  contract,  which was substantially  completed in the second quarter of
1996.

         Revenues  of  the  research  and  development   business  decreased  by
approximately  $57,000,  or 40.4% in the second  quarter of 1996 compared to the
second quarter of 1995. The reduced  revenues are  attributable  to reduced work
performed under the Company's  contract with the Emergencies  Science  Division,
Environment Canada to design and build an airborne laser-fluorosensor system The
contract had an original value of approximately  $1,450,000,  with a substantial
portion of that contract being billed in 1995.

     The Company's  Consumer  products  business,  formed in March 1995, did not
achieve  significant  sales  during the second  quarter of 1996.  After  limited
market  testing  of  its  DrugAlert[TM]  product,  it  became  apparent  that  a
successful  marketing  program  has to  overcome  certain  barriers  that  exist
relating  to  the  consumer's  reluctance  to  purchase  the  product.  Although
management believes that the product has good potential it has not yet been able
to  formulate  an  effective  marketing  strategy  nor has  management  made the
determination  that it will pursue developing this product in the future. In the
meantime, it is proceeding with limited distribution.

         Gross  profit  for all  businesses  as a  percentage  of sales  for the
quarter ended June 30, 1996  decreased  from 48.1% to 46.9% over the same period
last  year.  The gross  profit  as a  percentage  of sales  for the  Instruments
business  decreased  from  52.6% in the  second  quarter of 1995 to 50.5% in the
second quarter of 1996. The decrease was  attributable  to reduced unit sales of
the Model 350  IONSCAN in the second  quarter of 1996 at lower  selling  prices,
compared  to the second  quarter  of 1995 which had higher  unit sales at higher
selling prices.  The  gross profit as a percentage of sales for the Research and
Development  business  decreased  to a negative  33.3.0% in the  quarter  from a
negative  12.8% in the same period in 1995.  The decrease was due to the reduced
volume in that segment of the  business.  The results of the  Consumer  Products
Business were not significant.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately
$161,000,  or 24.0% in the second  quarter of 1996 over the same period in 1995.
However,  in the  second  quarter of 1995,  the  Company  recognized  an expense
decrease of $152,000  attributable  to a negotiated  reduction  in  professional
fees.  Therefore,  without  respect  to such  reduction,  selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses  would  have  increased  by  $9,000.  Selling  expenses
increased by $52,000, or 11.9% period to period. The increase is attributable to
increased levels of sales.



<PAGE>




         Unfunded  research  and  development  in the  second  quarter  of 1996,
applied to IONSCAN(R)  technology,  decreased by approximately $30,000, or 42.9%
from the second quarter of 1995. The level of unfunded  research and development
engaged  in by the  Company  is  primarily  a function  of the  resources,  both
financial and personnel, that are available at the time.

         Interest  expense  increased  by  approximately  $4,000  in the  second
quarter of 1996,  or 6.7% over the same  period last year.  The  increase is the
result of higher levels of borrowing, at higher interest rates.

         Income on unconsolidated  subsidiary  represents the Company's share of
the earnings and losses of Barringer  Laboratories  Inc.  ("Labco") of which the
Company has a twenty-six  percent  ownership.  Prior to December  31, 1995,  the
Company had a  controlling  interest in Labco and  consolidated  it into its own
operations  but  since  the  first  quarter  of 1995 has  presented  Labco as an
operation held for sale.  Fluctuations in earnings and losses are dependent upon
the  performance  of Labco and is not  influenced by the Company.  The Company's
share of  Labco's  net income  for the  second  quarter  of 1996 was  $42,000 as
compared  to $54,000  for the same  period in 1995  where it is shown  under the
caption "Income from operation held for sale".

     Other  expense,  net of income was $22,000  for the second  quarter of 1996
compared  to other  income,  net of expense of $43,000  for the same period last
year. In the second quarter of 1995 changes in exchange rates  generated  income
of $50,000 as compared to $2,000 for the second  quarter of 1996.  In  addition,
for the second quarter of 1996, the Company  recognized  gains of  approximately
$42,000 on trading securities held for pension funding purposes.  The balance of
the differences  relate to several different accounts of income and expense that
may not recur from year to year.


Six months ended June 30, 1996 Compared To six months ended June 30, 1995

     Sales  of all  instruments  increased  by  $2,022,000,  or 84.4% in the six
months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. Sales of Ionscan
instruments and related product increased by approximately $1,676,000, or 77.1%,
in the six months  ended June 30, 1996  compared to the same period in 1995,  on
increased unit sales of  approximately  73%. This was due to increased  sales of
the Model 400 which was  introduced  in the first  quarter  of 1995.  Management
believes the increased sales resulted from an expanded market,  coupled with the
Model 400 having a lower selling price than its predecessor Model 350, and being
smaller, lighter and containing more features. In addition, the Company has been
successful  in adapting  its units to suit  customer  needs in order to increase
unit sales.  Sales of  instruments  other than  Ionscan  products  increased  by
approximately  $346,000,  or 155% in the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared
to the same period in 1995, principally due to work performed on the heavy water
analyzer  contract,  which was  substantially  completed  by June 30,  1996.  In
addition the Company was successful in selling several of its other  non-Ionscan
instruments.

         Revenues  of  the  research  and  development   business  decreased  by
approximately  $145,000, or 21.2% in the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared
to the same period in 1995.  The reduced  revenues are  attributable  to reduced
work  performed  under  the  Company's  contract  with the  Emergencies  Science
Division,  Environment Canada to design and build an airborne laser-fluorosensor
system The contract had an original value of  approximately  $1,450,000,  with a
substantial portion of that Contract being billed in 1995.

     The Company's  Consumer  products  business,  formed in March 1995, did not
achieve  significant  sales during the first six months of 1996.  After  limited
market  testing  of  its  DrugAlert[TM]  product,  it  became  apparent  that  a
successful  marketing  program  has to  overcome  certain  barriers  that  exist
relating  to  the  consumer's  reluctance  to  purchase  the  product.  Although
management believes that the product has good potential it has not yet been able
to  formulate  an  effective  marketing  strategy  nor has  management  made the
determination  that it will pursue this product in the future.  In the meantime,
it is proceeding with limited distribution.

         Gross profit for all  businesses  as a percentage  of sales for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 increased to 47.2% from 39.2% in the same period last
year.  The gross profit as a percentage  of sales for the  Instruments  business
increased  to 52.7% for the six months  ended June 30, 1996 as compared to 49.4%
for the same period in 1995. The increase was  attributable to better margins on
custom  sales  orders  and a better  international  mix of sales,  coupled  with
larger,  more  efficient  production  runs. The sale of several Model 350 units,
whose  carrying  value  had  been  reduced  in  1995,  also  contributed  to the
improvement.  The gross  profit as a  percentage  of sales for the  Research and
Development  business improved to 8.3% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as
compared to 1.0% for the same period in 1995. The improvement was due to several
small  contracts that carried high gross profit margins during the first quarter
of 1996. The Consumer Products Business did not contribute any gross profit.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately
$341,000,  or 26.2% for the six months  ended June 30,  1996 as  compared to the
same  period in 1995.  However,  in the 1995 period the  Company  recognized  an
expense  decrease  of  $152,000   attributable  to  a  negotiated  reduction  in
professional fees. Therefore, without respect to such reduction, selling general
and administrative  expenses would have increased by $189,000.  Selling expenses
increased  by  $256,000,  or 34.3%  period to period.  Most of the  increase  is
attributable  to the expenses  associated  with the Company's  French and United
Kingdom  offices  being open for a six month  period in 1996,  at full  staffing
levels. The balance of the increase is attributable to increased levels of sales
activity in Canada and the United States and marketing expenses  associated with
the DrugAlert(TM) product,  which marketing expenses were significantly reduced 
as of July 1, 1996.

         Unfunded  research  and  development  in the first six  months of 1996,
applied to IONSCAN(R)  technology,  decreased by approximately $47,000, or 45.2%
from  the  first  six  months  of  1995.  The  level of  unfunded  research  and
development  engaged in by the Company is primarily a function of the resources,
both financial and personnel, that are available at the time.

         Interest expense  increased by  approximately  $8,000 in the six months
ended June 30, 1996, or 6.6% over the same period last year. The increase is the
result of higher levels of borrowing, at higher interest rates.

     Income on unconsolidated  subsidiary  represents the Company's share of the
earnings  and losses of Labco,  of which the  Company has a  twenty-six  percent
ownership. Prior to December 31, 1995, the Company had a controlling interest in
Labco and  consolidated it into its own operations,  but since the first quarter
of 1995,  has presented  Labco as an operation  held for sale.  Fluctuations  in
earnings  and  losses  is  dependent  upon the  performance  of Labco and is not
influenced by the Company. The Company's share of Labco's net income for the six
months  ended June 30,  1996 was  $20,000 as  compared  to $55,000  for the same
period in 1995 where it is shown under the caption  "Income from  operation held
for sale".

         Other income, net of expense was $7,000 for the six months ended June 
30, 1996 as compared  to other  expense,  net of income of $48,000  for the same

     period last year. In the six months ended June 30, 1995 changes in exchange
rates generated  income of $55,000 as compared to $14,000 for the same period in
1996.  In  addition,  for the six  months  ended  June  30,  1996,  the  Company
recognized gains of approximately $42,000 on trading securities held for pension
funding  purposes.  The balance of the differences  relate to several  different
accounts of income and expense that may not recur from year to year.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

         Operating Activities

     For the six months ended June 30, 1996,  cash used in operating  activities
was $445,000.  This was composed of cash  generated  from  operating  results of
$638,000,  offset by $1,083,000 used to fund non-cash working capital  balances,
primarily  higher  levels  of  trade  receivables.  The  higher  level  of trade
receivables was the result of higher levels of sales  occurring  towards the end
of the second quarter of 1996. The working  capital  requirements of the Company
will increase as the Company's sales and production levels increase.

         Investment Activities

         Purchases of fixed assets for the six months ended June 30, 1996,  were
$47,000.  The Company does not  currently  anticipate  the need for  significant
purchases of fixed assets during the remainder of 1996.

         Pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement,  dated December 8,
1995,  between the Company and Labco,  on December  13, 1995 the Company sold to
Labco 647,238 shares of Labco's common stock for an aggregate  purchase price of
$809,000. The purchase price consisted of $300,000 in cash,  cancellation of all
amounts owed by the Company to Labco pursuant to certain intercompany agreements
and  cancellation of $57,000 in accounts  receivable due to Labco.  The proceeds
were added to working capital. The Company continues to own approximately 26% of
Labco's common stock  outstanding.  The Company  anticipates that it will divest
itself of its remaining investment in Labco, as conditions may allow.

         Financing Activities

         For the six months  ended June 30,  1996,  the  Company  increased  its
borrowings  under its credit  facilities  by  $487,000.  At June 30,  1996,  the
Company  had  available  unused  lines of credit of  $250,000,  to the extent of
available  collateral.  During July 1996,  the  Company's  foreign  subsidiaries
factored approximately  $380,000 of its receivables.  The proceeds were added to
working capital.

         On July 10, 1996,  the Company  completed the sale of $1,000,000 of its
6%  Convertible  Subordinated  Debentures,  due July 9, 1997. The Debentures are
convertible  into shares of the Company's  Common Stock at the rate of $2.75 per
share of Common Stock. The Company utilized  $300,000 of the proceeds to pay the
balance due on its 12 1/2% Convertible  Subordinated  Debentures,  maturing July
15, 1996. The remaining proceeds were added to working capital.

     Both the Company and its Canadian  subsidiary have substantial tax loss and
research and



<PAGE>




development tax credit carryforwards to offset future tax liabilities.

         The Company has been  experiencing  cash flow shortages since mid-1994.
This is the result of the need for capital to support  higher levels of accounts
receivable and inventory  caused  primarily by uneven sales patterns  during the
quarters.  This situation was exacerbated,  in 1995, by the Company's converting
its production from its Model 350 IONSCAN(R) to its newly  introduced  Model 400
IONSCAN(R).  The Company needs additional amounts of capital in order to proceed
with product and applications development.  During 1995 and the first six months
of 1996, the Company did not generate positive cash flow from operations despite
achieving  net income of $564,000  for the six months  ended June 30,  1996.  If
additional  capital is  required  in the future in excess of cash  generated  by
operations,  the  Company  presently  intends to raise such  additional  capital
through  the sale of its equity  and/or debt  securities  and/or the sale of the
remaining  stock  in its  26%  ownership  in  Labco.  However,  there  can be no
assurances  that the Company  will be able to raise the needed  capital or as to
the terms or timing thereof.

         The Company's Agreement with the Toronto-Dominion Bank contains certain
covenants which the Company's  Canadian  subsidiary must meet. At June 30, 1996,
certain of the financial  covenants  were not met. The Company has  periodically
failed to meet various of the  covenants,  but the Bank has continued to provide
funding in accordance with past practices.  Management believes the Company will
re-establish compliance. If the Company continues to periodically fail to comply
with the terms of the  facility,  management  believes the Bank will continue to
provide funding in accordance with past practices,  however,  the Company cannot
predict what actions, if any, the Bank may take or as to the timing thereof.

         Inflation

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

     1) Pursuant to APB 15,  paragraph 38, all outstanding  options and warrants
are assumed to have been exercised and the shares repurchased under the treasury
stock method have been limited to 20% of the June 30, 1996  outstanding  shares.
The  effect  of this  computation  is not  dilutive  in  periods  for  which the
computation is not presented.  

     2) Proceeds from the assumed exercise of options and warrants, in excess of
that  required to  repurchase  the amount of shares equal to 20% of the June 30,
1996 outstanding  shares, has been applied to reduce outstanding  borrowings and
related interest expense.
