Item 7 (b): Pro-forma Financial Information

The following unaudited pro-forma condensed consolidated
statements of earnings for the six month period ended August 3,
1996 and the year ended January 31, 1996 reflect the acquisition
by Varlen of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Brenco upon
the culmination of a two-step merger completed on August 23,
1996.  On July 18, 1996, Varlen, through a wholly-owned
subsidiary, completed the purchase of approximately 91.5% of
Brenco's common shares through a tender offer which expired on
that date.  Due to the tender offer and shares previously owned
by a subsidiary of Varlen, Varlen then owned 96% of the
outstanding common shares of Brenco until the completion of the
merger on August 23, 1996.

The unaudited pro-forma condensed consolidated statements of
earnings combine the results of operations of Varlen for the six
month period ended August 3, 1996 with the results of operations
of Brenco for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 and the
operations of Varlen for the year ended January 31, 1996 with the
results of operations of Brenco for the year ended December 31,
1995.

The acquisition of Brenco was accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting, and accordingly, the accompanying unaudited
pro-forma condensed consolidated statements of earnings reflect
the effects of a preliminary allocation of the Registrant's
purchase cost.

As provided for in Article 11 of Regulation S-X, no pro-forma
balance sheet has been provided since Varlen's condensed
consolidated balance sheet for the period ended August 3, 1996 as
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September
16, 1996 reflects the acquisition of Brenco.

NOTE TO THE PRO-FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
STATEMENTS OF EARNINGS

Note A

The pro-forma adjustments assume the acquisition of Brenco
occurred on February 1, 1996.

The adjustment to sales reflects the removal of the sales of a
Brenco subsidiary that is currently held for sale.

The adjustment to cost of sales reflects additional depreciation
caused by the write-up of buildings by $5.3 million depreciated
over twenty years and the write-up of equipment by $17.0 million
depreciated over eight years, with two-thirds of the building
depreciation and five-sixths of the equipment depreciation
applied to cost of sales, offset by a portion of the depreciation
expense capitalized to inventory and the removal of $4.2 million
in cost of sales of the Brenco subsidiary currently held for
sale.

The adjustment to selling, general and administrative expenses
reflects goodwill from the purchase of Brenco of $84.5 million
amortized over 40 years and $.2 million of depreciation expense
from the write-up of the building and equipment, offset by $.7
million in expenses relating to the Brenco subsidiary held for
sale, $.6 million for the removal of Brenco's cost of being a
public company, acquisition related expenses and restricted stock
plan expenses and $.2 million in other eliminated expenses.

The adjustment to interest expense reflects the average net
acquisition debt of $136.9 million at an average interest rate of
6.88% and lost interest income due to the acquisition.

The adjustment to income taxes reflect the tax effects of the
adjustments noted above, net of non-deductible goodwill
amortization, at the statutory federal and state income tax rate
in effect during the period.
