                  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, 2000 and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, 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, 1999. This report
should be read in conjunction therewith. The results of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for any other interim period or for the full year.

     Certain items in the 1999 consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation.

2. At March 31, 2000, the gross deferred tax asset of $2,512,000 included
$445,000 and $2,067,000 related to the Company's Canadian and U.S. operations,
respectively. The deferred tax liability of $313,000 is due to product
development costs of the Company's U.S. operations. Based on historical results
and estimated 2000 earnings, which include 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. Basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations have been
computed as follows:

4. On April 30, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock
of DigiVision, Inc. ("DigiVision"), a San Diego-based developer of video
enhancement products in a business combination accounted for as a purchase.
Effective June 30, 1999, the Company determined that it would dispose of
DigiVision and on December 15, 1999, sold all of the outstanding capital stock
of DigiVision to a group comprised of DigiVision senior management. Accordingly,
the financial results of DigiVision have been accounted for as a discontinued
operation and reported as an operation sold. The selling price consisted of a
$500,000 interest bearing note which, if not paid by December 31, 2000, will
increase to $1,000,000. In addition, the Company will be entitled to receive an
earn-out based upon annual revenues in excess of $2,000,000. The Company will
recognize income on the note receivable and the earn-out when collectibility is
reasonably assured.

     For the three months ended March 31, 1999, DigiVision's revenues were
$324,000 and its net operating loss was $130,000.

5. On January 19, 2000, the Company granted options to acquire 37,500 shares of
the Company's Common Stock to 10 employees at an exercise price of $5.75. These
options were issued under the Employee Plans. On February 21, 2000, the Company
granted options to the Company's executive officers and directors to acquire
465,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $5.03 per share. These options
are exercisable on November 21, 2006 and expire on February 21, 2007. However,
they can be exercised as to 25% at an earlier time if and when the Company's
Common Stock trades for $8.50 or higher for at least 30 consecutive days; as to
50% if and when the Company's Common Stock trades for $11.00 or higher for at
least 30 consecutive days; as to 75% if and when the Company's Common Stock
trades for $12.50 or higher for at least 30 consecutive days; and as to 100% if
and when the Company's Common Stock trades for $15.00 or higher for at least 30
consecutive days. These options were issued under the Employee Plans.

             COMPARISON OF THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED
                       TO THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1999

     Revenues. For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, revenues decreased by
$110,000, or 2.2%, to $4.8 million from $4.9 million for the quarter ended March
31, 1999. Revenues decreased due to a decline in average unit selling price,
partially offset by increases in unit sales and increases of consumables, spares
and other revenues. Consumables, spares, service and other revenues represented
33.7% of revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 as compared to 25.1% in
the same quarter last year. Revenues were favorably impacted by unit sales of
the SABRE 2000 introduced in the fourth quarter of 1999.

     Gross Profit. For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, gross profit decreased
by $485,000, or 16.9%, to $2.4 million from $2.9 million in the 1999 period. As
a percentage of revenues, gross profit decreased to 50.0% in the quarter ended
March 31, 2000 from 58.8% in the 1999 period. The decrease was attributable to
an unfavorable shift in product mix, an expansion of the product service
department ahead of anticipated revenues and a decrease in average unit selling
price.

     Selling, General and Administrative. For the quarter ended March 31, 2000,
selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $53,000,
or 3.2%, to $1.6 million. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased to 33.9% in the 2000 period from 34.2% in the
1999 period. Selling and marketing expenses decreased by approximately $179,000,
primarily due to decreased commission expense. General and administrative
expenses increased by $126,000, primarily due to increased payroll costs and
occupancy expense.

     Business Development. For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, business
development expenses decreased by $83,000, or 42.8% to $111,000 from $194,000 in
the 1999 period. The decrease was the result of lower payroll expenses.

     Product Development. For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, product
development expenses decreased by $213,000, or 42.3%, to $291,000 from $504,000
in the 1999 period. As a percentage of revenues, product development expenses
decreased to 6.1% for the quarter ended March 31,2000 from 10.3% in the 1999
period. Product development expenses in the 1999 period primarily included work
on the development of the SABRE 2000, which was substantially completed in the
fourth quarter of 1999.

     Operating Income. For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, operating income
decreased by $136,000, or 26.9%, to $369,000 from $505,000 in the 1999 period.
As a percentage of revenues, operating income decreased

                                      -10-


<PAGE>


to 7.7% from 10.3% in the 1999 period. The decrease was due to the combination
of factors noted above.

     Other Income and Expense. For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, other
income decreased by $102,000, or 20.3%, to $400,000 from $502,000 in the 1999
period. The decrease was attributable to a decrease in investment and other
interest income of $94,000, or 19.3%, to $392,000 as compared to $486,000 in the
same period in 1999, primarily as a result of lower cash balances.

     Income Taxes. For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, the Company had a tax
provision of $260,000, as compared to $377,000 in the 1999 period. The Company
anticipates an effective tax rate of approximately 34% as compared to 37% for
the same period in 1999.

     CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

     Cash provided by operations was $599,000 in the three months ended March
31, 2000, as compared to $514,000 for the same period in 1999. Cash provided by
operations in the three months ended March 31, 2000 resulted primarily from net
income of $509,000, depreciation, amortization and changes in reserves of
$421,000, partially offset by net increases in working capital items. Cash
provided by operations in the three months ended March 31, 1999, resulted
primarily from net income of $500,000, depreciation, amortization and changes in
reserves of $510,000, partially offset by net increases in working capital
items.

     Cash used in investing activities was $852,000 in the three months ended
March 31, 2000, and $2.3 million in the same period in 1999. Cash used in
investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2000 resulted from the
purchase of $497,000 of marketable securities and the purchase of $355,000 of
equipment. Cash used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31,
1999, resulted from the purchase of $2.0 million of marketable securities and
$316,000 of equipment.

     Cash used in financing activities was $70,000 in the three months ended
March 31, 2000, and $2.4 million in the same period in 1999. Cash used in
financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2000 resulted from
repurchases of common stock, partially offset by the exercise of options and
warrants. Cash used in financing activities in the three months ended March 31,
1999 resulted primarily from the repurchase of common stock, partially offset by
the exercise of options and warrants and partial repayment of a loan from
employee.

     The Company's capital expenditures in the three months ended March 31, 2000
aggregated approximately $355,000. Such expenditures consisted primarily of
equipment and computers. The Company believes that it will require approximately
$600,000 in additional capital investment in tooling, equipment, and facility
improvements for the remainder of 2000.

     The Company has a $5.0 million unsecured credit facility with Fleet Bank,
N.A. to be used for general working capital purposes, including the issuance of
standby letters of credit. At March 31, 2000, $1.3 million in standby letters of
credit were issued and outstanding and $3.7 million was available under this
Facility.

     At December 31, 1999, the Company had approximately $5.8 million of tax
loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income in the U.S and $3.7 million
of expenses available to offset future taxable income in Canada.

     As of March 31, 2000, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $26.6
million and marketable securities of $1.7 million. The Company believes that its
existing cash balances, marketable securities and income from operations in
future periods will be sufficient to fund its working capital requirements for
at least the next twelve months.

     The Company has a common stock repurchase program under which it is
authorized to repurchase up to 2,000,000 shares of the Company's outstanding
Common Stock. As of March 31,2000, the Company had repurchased 1,114,050 shares
at an aggregate cost of approximately $7.0 million.

     INFLATION

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

     YEAR 2000 ISSUE

     The year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Certain computer
programs may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year
2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing
disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability
to process transactions, send invoices or engage in similar normal business
activity.

     The Company had established a team that assessed risk, identified and
corrected exposures, and developed a contingency plan to deal with any Year 2000
compliance issues. As of March 31, 2000, the Company has not experienced any
Year 2000 related problems with its software and hardware systems, with its
products, with its significant suppliers, customers and critical business
partners, or with its operating environment. Accordingly, the Company believes
that Year 2000 issues no longer pose a threat to the Company's results of
operations or financial condition.

     The Company's cost of achieving Year 2000 compliance was not material to
its results of operations or financial condition.

     DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

     This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains 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, that are based
on the beliefs of the Company's management as well as assumptions made by and
information currently available to the Company's management. When used in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q Report, the words "estimate," "project,"
"believe," "anticipate," "intend," "expect," "plan," predict," "may," "should,"
"will," the negative thereof and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements.

     Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and
uncertainties, many of which cannot be predicted with accuracy and some of which
might not even be anticipated. Future events and actual results, financial and
otherwise, could differ materially from those set forth in or contemplated by
the forward-looking statements contained herein. Important factors that could
contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, the development
and growth of markets for the Company's products, the Company's dependence on
and the effect of governmental regulations on demand for the Company's products,
the impact of both foreign and domestic governmental budgeting decisions and the
timing of governmental expenditures, the reliance of the Company on its
IONSCAN(R) products, and the dependency of the Company on its ability to
successfully develop and market new products applications, the effects of
competition, and the effect of general economic and market conditions, as well
as conditions prevailing in the markets for the Company's products. Certain of
the factors summarized above are described in more detail in the Company's
Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (File no. 333-33129) and reference is hereby
made thereto for additional information with respect to the matters referenced
above. Other factors may be described from time to time in the Company's other
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, news releases and other
communications. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these

Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their
entirety by the cautionary statements set forth above and contained elsewhere in
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Part I--Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

     The Company's exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to its
investment portfolio. The primary objective of the Company's investment policy
is to preserve principal while maximizing yields. The Company's investment
portfolio consists of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities
consisting of a diverse mix of high credit quality securities, including U.S.
government agency and corporate obligations, certificates of deposit and money
market funds. The Company's portfolio has a weighted average maturity of 0.23
years, therefore changes in interest rate will not materially impact the
Company's consolidated financial condition. However, such interest rate changes
can cause fluctuations in the Company's results of operations and cash flows.

     The Company's $5 million unsecured credit facility has an interest rate
based on the prime rate or LIBOR, at the Company's option. The Company currently
has no borrowings outstanding under the unsecured credit facility. If the

on the Company's results of operations and cashflows.

     The Company's exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations is
the result of operating throughout the world. The Company has several foreign
subsidiaries whose financial statements are recorded in currencies other than
U.S. dollars. As these foreign currency financial statements are translated at
the end of each reporting period during consolidation, fluctuations in exchange
rates between the foreign currency and the U.S. dollar increase or decrease the
value of those investments. These fluctuations are recorded as a component of
accumulated comprehensive income within stockholders' equity. In addition, from
time to time, the Company enters into sales transactions in currencies other
than U.S. dollars. Accordingly, the Company may be impacted by changes in the
exchange rate between the time the sale is recorded and the time the trade
receivable is collected. Where appropriate, the Company may from time to time
hedge these transactions against foreign currency fluctuations. During 1999, the
Company did not engage in any hedging transactions. The impact of foreign
exchange transactions is reflected in the statement of operations and has not
been material.
