Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes and
with Bairnco's Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related
notes for the year ended December 31, 1994.
Bairnco Corporation is a diversified multinational company that
operates two distinct businesses under the names Arlon and KASCO.
Engineered materials and components are designed, manufactured
and sold under the Arlon brand to electronic, industrial and
commercial markets. These products are based on a common technology
in coating, laminating and dispersion chemistry. Arlon's principal
products include high technology materials for the printed circuit
board industry, cast and calendered vinyl film systems, custom
engineered laminates and pressure sensitive adhesive systems and
silicone rubber products used in a broad range of industrial,
consumer and commercial products.
Replacement products and services are manufactured and
distributed under the KASCO name principally to retail food stores
and meat, poultry and fish processing plants throughout the United
States, Canada and Europe. The principal products include
replacement band saw blades for cutting meat, fish, wood and metal,
and on site maintenance services for the retail food industry
primarily in the meat and deli departments. KASCO also distributes
equipment to the food industry in Canada and France. These products
are sold under a number of brand names including KASCO in the U.S.
and Canada, Atlantic Service in the United Kingdom and Bertram & Graf
and Biro in Europe.
Comparison of First Quarter 1995 to First Quarter 1994
Sales in the first quarter 1995 were $38,523,000 an 8.0% increase
from $35,676,000 in 1994. The increase in the first quarter sales
was attributable to good growth in all the Arlon product lines.
KASCO's sales were up modestly as the increases in the European
businesses were offset by the planned reduction in KASCO's U.S.
service center business.
Gross profit increased only 1% to $13,729,000 from $13,606,000.
The increase is attributable to improved sales which was offset by
profit margin declines in major product lines. The gross profit
margin as a percent of sales decreased from 38.1% to 35.6%. The
profit margin declines are due to the continuing decline in military
related business which is being replaced with lower margin commercial
business, a shifting product mix in the graphics business, and
material cost increases which preceded effective selling price
increases, and continuing costs to refocus KASCO.
Selling and administrative expenses decreased to $10,132,000 from
$10,271,000. As a percent of sales, selling and administrative
expenses decreased to 26.3% from 28.8%.
Interest expense increased $46,000 to $547,000 for the first
quarter. This increase was the result of higher interest rates that
were partially offset by reduced borrowings.
The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 1995 was 38% as
compared to 40% in 1994. The provision for income taxes in both
periods includes all applicable federal, state, local and foreign
income taxes.
Net income increased 11.2% to $1,891,000, or $0.18 per share, as
compared to $1,700,000, or $0.16 per share, in the first quarter
1994.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In April, Bairnco's secured reducing revolving credit agreement
with a consortium of four banks led by Bank of America, Illinois,
and including, SunBank, N.A., NBD Bank, N.A., and First Union Bank of
Florida, was amended. The total commitment under the agreement was
reduced from $55.0 million to $52.0 million and the termination date
was extended from August 31, 1997 to August 31, 1999. The maximum
amount available for borrowings will be reduced by $3.0 million as of
January 1, 1996, $4.0 million as of January 1, 1997, $5.0 million as
of January 1, 1998, and $10.0 million as of January 1, 1999. The
amended agreement permits Bairnco to repurchase up to $5.0 million of
its common stock.
At April 1, 1995, Bairnco had working capital of $28.5 million
compared to $26.3 million at December 31, 1994. At April 1, 1995
Bairnco's total debt outstanding was $31,352,000 compared to
$31,775,000 at the end of 1994. At April 1, 1995 approximately $21.7
million was available for borrowing under the Corporation's secured
reducing revolving credit agreement, as amended April 18, 1995. In
addition, approximately $3.2 million was available under various
short term domestic and foreign uncommitted credit facilities.
Bairnco made approximately $1,045,000 of capital expenditures
during the first quarter 1995. Total capital expenditures in 1995
are expected to be approximately $14.4 million which includes
approximately $6.0 million related to a new facility which is not
committed and is still under review.
Cash provided by operating activities plus the amounts available
under the existing credit facilities are expected to be sufficient to
fulfill Bairnco's anticipated cash requirements in 1995.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Since its announcement in January 1990 of its intention to spin
off Keene, Bairnco has been named as a defendant in a number of
individual personal injury and wrongful death cases in which it is
alleged that Bairnco is derivatively liable for the asbestos-related
claims against Keene. In 1993, Bairnco and certain of its present
and former officers and directors were also named as defendants in
two purported class actions in which the same types of claims were
made. Both of these purported class actions, which have been
consolidated in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York, have been stayed by order of the Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of New York, as described in the
following paragraph.
On December 6, 1993, Keene filed for protection under Chapter 11
of the Bankruptcy Code. The filing and certain subsequent
proceedings led to a stay of the asbestos-related individual and
class actions referred to above. In an order entered on March 11,
1994, the Bankruptcy Court overseeing the reorganization of Keene
entered an order appointing an examiner (the "Examiner") to evaluate
and report to the Court whether there are any viable claims arising
out of the transfer of assets for value by Keene to other
subsidiaries of Bairnco or the spinoffs of certain subsidiaries,
including Keene, by Bairnco. Bairnco provided evidence and other
information to the Examiner. The Examiner's preliminary report was
released on October 3, 1994. Since that time, the Court has held a
number of hearings at which the preliminary report has been
discussed. The Court has not ruled on the conditions, if any, under
which the potential claims discussed in the report should be
prosecuted, but, on May 5, 1995, it entered an order allowing the
Creditors' Committee to assume from Keene responsibility for the
pursuit, if any, of such claims. Further proceedings concerning the
potential claims and their possible pursuit by the Creditors'
Committee are scheduled for May 1995.
Management believes that Bairnco has meritorious defenses to all
claims or liability purportedly derived from Keene and that it is not
liable, as an alter ego, successor, fraudulent transferee or
otherwise, for the asbestos-related claims against Keene or with
respect to Keene products.
Bairnco is party to an action in the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of New York brought by its former
subsidiary Keene Corporation, which presently is in Chapter 11, to
determine which of the two companies is entitled to receive the
benefit of tax refunds attributable to the carryback by Keene of
certain net operating losses. (After filing this action, Keene ceded
control of the action to the official committee of unsecured
creditors that previously was formed in the Chapter 11 proceeding.)
Pending resolution of the dispute by the Bankruptcy Court, any
refunds actually received are to be placed in escrow. Keene alleges
that the refunds in question could total approximately $30 million.
There can be no assurance whatsoever that refunds in such amount will
be payable or that resolution of the dispute with Keene will result
in the release of any portion of the refunds to Bairnco.
Bairnco Corporation and its subsidiaries are defendants in a
number of other actions. Management of Bairnco believes that the
disposition of these other actions, as well as the actions and
proceedings described above, will not have a material adverse effect
on the consolidated results of operations or the financial position
of Bairnco Corporation and its subsidiaries as of April 1, 1995.
Item 2. OTHER INFORMATION
None.
Item 3. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
The annual meeting of stockholders of Bairnco was held in
Orlando, Florida on April 21, 1995. Stockholders ratified
management's selection of Arthur Andersen LLP as auditors for
Bairnco for the 1995 fiscal year and elected all nominees to the
Board of Directors.

7. Amendment of Section 2.9 (Certain Provisions Relating to
the Letters of Credit). Section 2.9 of the Credit Agreement is
hereby amended by:
(a) deleting therefrom Sections 2.9.1 and 2.9.2 in their
entirety and substituting therefor the following:
2.9.1 Letter of Credit Participations; Drawings and
Reimbursements.
(a) Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of
Credit, each Lender (other than BAI) shall be deemed to,
and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to,
purchase from BAI a participation in such Letter of
Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to
the product of (i) the Percentage of such Lender, times
(ii) the maximum amount available to be drawn under such
Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing,
respectively. For purposes of Section 3.3.1, each
issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to utilize
the Bairnco LC Commitment of each Lender by an amount
equal to the amount of such participation.
(b) In the event of any request for a drawing under
a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee
thereof, BAI will promptly notify Bairnco. Bairnco shall
reimburse BAI prior to 10:30 a.m., Chicago time, on each
date that any amount is paid by BAI under any Letter of
Credit (each such date, an 'Honor Date'), in an amount
equal to the amount so paid by BAI. In the event Bairnco
shall fail to reimburse BAI for the full amount of any
drawing under any Letter of Credit by 10:30 a.m., Chicago
time, on the Honor Date, BAI will promptly notify the
Agent and the Agent will promptly notify each Lender
thereof, and Bairnco shall be deemed to have requested
that Reference Rate Loans be made by the Lenders to be
disbursed on the Honor Date under such Letter of Credit,
subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the
Bairnco LC Commitment and subject to the conditions set
forth in Section 5.2.1. Such deemed request by Bairnco
shall constitute a representation and warranty by Bairnco
that on the date of such Loans (both before and after
giving effect to such Loans and the application of the
proceeds thereof), the statements made in Section 5.2.1
are true and correct. Any notice given by BAI or the
Agent pursuant to this Section 2.9.1(b) may be oral if
immediately confirmed in writing (including by
facsimile); provided that the lack of such an immediate
confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or
binding effect of such notice.
(c) Each Lender shall upon receipt of any notice
pursuant to Section 2.9.1(b) make available to the Agent
for the account of BAI an amount in Dollars and in
immediately available funds equal to its Percentage of
the amount of the drawing, whereupon the participating
Lenders shall (subject to Section 2.9.1(d)) each be
deemed to have made a loan (individually, a 'Letter of
Credit Loan'; collectively, the 'Letter of Credit Loans')
consisting of a Reference Rate Loan to Bairnco in that
amount. If any Lender so notified shall fail to make
available to the Agent for the account of BAI the amount
of such Lender's Percentage of the amount of the drawing
by no later than 1:00 p.m., Chicago time, on the Honor
Date, then interest shall accrue on such Lender's
obligation to make such payment, from the Honor Date to
the date such Lender makes such payment, at a rate per
annum equal to (i) the Federal Funds Rate in effect from
time to time during the period commencing on the Honor
Date and ending on the date three Business Days
thereafter, and (ii) thereafter at the Alternate
Reference Rate as in effect from time to time. The Agent
will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Honor
Date, but failure of the Agent to give any such notice on
the Honor Date or in sufficient time to enable any Lender
to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve
such Lender from its obligations under this Section
2.9.1.
(d) With respect to any unreimbursed drawing which
is not converted into a Letter of Credit Loan in whole or
in part, because of Bairnco's failure to satisfy the
conditions set forth in Section 5.2.1 or for any other
reason, Bairnco shall be deemed to have incurred from BAI
a Reimbursement Borrowing in the amount of such drawing,
which Reimbursement Borrowing shall be due and payable on
demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest
at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Reference Rate
plus 2.50% per annum, and each Lender's payment to BAI
pursuant to Section 2.9.1(c) shall be deemed payment in
respect of its participation in such Reimbursement
Borrowing and shall constitute a Reimbursement Advance
from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation
obligation under this Section 2.9.1.
(e) For purposes of this Agreement, all of the
provisions applicable to Bairnco Loans shall apply to
Letter of Credit Loans; provided, however, that any
Letter of Credit Loan outstanding shall be deemed to
utilize the Bairnco LC Commitment (without duplication of
any utilization thereof by the Letter of Credit from
which such Letter of Credit Loan arises) and not the
Bairnco Loan Commitment.
(f) Each Lender's obligation in accordance with
this Agreement to make the Letter of Credit Loans or
Reimbursement Advances, as contemplated by this Section
2.9.1, as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit
shall be absolute and unconditional and without recourse
to BAI and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment,
defense or other right which such Lender may have against
BAI, Bairnco or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever, including, without limitation, any defense
based on the failure of the demand for payment under such
Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of such Letter
of Credit or the legality, validity, regularity or
enforceability of such Letter of Credit or any defense
based on the identity of the transferee of such Letter of
Credit or the sufficiency of the transfer if such Letter
of Credit is transferable; provided, however, that no
Lender shall be obligated to make Letter of Credit Loans
or Reimbursement Advances pursuant to the preceding
provisions of this Section 2.9.1 in connection with any
wrongful payment or disbursement made by BAI under any
Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions
constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct on
the part of BAI or any of its officers, employees or
agents.
2.9.2 Repayment of Participations.
(a) Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Agent for
the account of BAI of funds from Bairnco (i) in
reimbursement of any payment made by BAI under a Letter
of Credit with respect to which any Lender has paid the
Agent for the account of BAI for such Lender's
participation in the Letter of Credit pursuant to Section
2.9.1, or (ii) in payment of interest thereon, the Agent
will pay to each Lender that has so paid the Agent for
the account of BAI, in the same funds as those received
by the Agent for the account of BAI, the amount of such
Lender's Percentage of such funds, and BAI shall receive
the amount of the Percentage of such funds of any Lender
that did not so pay the Agent for the account of BAI.
(b) If the Agent or BAI is required at any time to
return to Bairnco, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator,
custodian, or any official in any insolvency proceeding
in which Bairnco is the debtor, any portion of the
payments made by Bairnco to the Agent for the account of
BAI pursuant to Section 2.9.2(a) in reimbursement of a
payment made under any Letter of Credit or interest or
fee thereon, each Lender shall, on demand of the Agent,
forthwith return to the Agent or BAI the amount of its
Percentage of any amounts so returned by the Agent or BAI
plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made
to the date such amounts are returned by such Lender to
the Agent or BAI, at a rate per annum equal to the
Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time.
2.9.3 Uniform Customs and Practice. The Uniform
Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits as most
recently published by the International Chamber of
Commerce ('Uniform Customs') shall in all respects be
deemed a part of this Section 2.9 as if incorporated
herein and (unless otherwise expressly provided in the
Letters of Credit) shall apply to the Letters of Credit.
2.9.4 Cash Collateral. Upon the termination of the
Bairnco LC Commitment, whether by occurrence of the
Commitment Termination Date or otherwise, Bairnco shall
immediately cause the cancellation of all Letters of
Credit or shall immediately provide cash collateral to
the Agent pursuant to the Security Agreement in the
aggregate outstanding amount of all Letters of Credit.";
and
(b) renumbering Section 2.9.3 as Section 2.9.5.
8. Amendment of Section 3.3.2 (Letter of Credit Fees).
Section 3.3.2 is hereby amended by deleting therefrom clauses (a)
through (d) of the second sentence thereof and substituting
therefor the following:

ANNEX III to Amendment
SCHEDULE I
DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE
Item 6.7 Litigation
1. Asbestos Cases. Keene Corporation, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Bairnco until August 6, 1990, is a defendant in many
asbestos cases. Subsequent to the announcement of the Keene spin-off
in early 1990, Bairnco was named as a defendant in a number of
individual personal injury and wrongful death cases in which it is
alleged that Bairnco is liable to the plaintiffs as the alter ego of
or the successor in interest to Keene. In 1993, Bairnco and certain
of its present and former officers and directors were also named as
defendants in two purported class actions in which the same types of
claims were made. Both of these purported class actions, which have
been consolidated in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York, have been stayed by order of the
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, as described
in the following paragraph.
On December 6, 1993, Keene filed for protection under
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The filing and certain subsequent
proceedings led to a stay of the asbestos-related individual and
class actions referred to above. In an order entered on March 11,
1994, the Bankruptcy Court overseeing the reorganization of Keene
entered an order appointing an examiner (the "Examiner") to evaluate
and report to the Court whether there are any viable claims arising
out of the transfer of assets for value by Keene to other
subsidiaries of Bairnco or the spin-offs of certain subsidiaries,
including Keene, by Bairnco. Bairnco provided evidence and other
information to the Examiner. The Examiner's preliminary report was
released on October 3, 1994. Since that time, the Court has held a
number of hearings at which the preliminary report has been
discussed. The Court has not ruled on whether the potential claims
discussed in the report should be prosecuted, and if so by whom or
under what circumstances.
2. Keene NOL. Bairnco is party to an action in the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York brought
by its former subsidiary Keene Corporation, which is presently in
Chapter 11, to determine which of the two companies is entitled to
receive the benefit of tax refunds attributable to the carryback by
Keene of certain net operating losses. (After filing this action,
Keene ceded control of the action to the official committee of
unsecured creditors that previously was formed in the Chapter 11
proceeding.) Pending resolution of the dispute by the Bankruptcy
Court, any refunds actually received are to be placed in escrow.
Keene alleges that the refunds in question could total approximately
$30 million. There can be no assurance whatsoever that refunds in
such amount will be payable or that resolution of the dispute with
Keene will result in the release of any portion of the refunds to
Bairnco.

Item 6.12 Environmental Matters
(b) (i) Several notices of violation of environmental law
have been issued to the Company's facilities in the past. All have
been minor in scope and have resulted in no or minimal fines (mostly
for air pollution or improper labeling of hazardous wastes).
(ii) The Company's subsidiary operations have been notified
that they are a Potentially Responsible Party (PRP) at the following:
a. National Priority Site:
Union Chemical - South Hope, Maine
A subsidiary of the Company is a de maximus PRP in connection
with the Union Chemical site and in March, 1992 pre-funded its
portion of the total estimated cleanup of the site.
b. California State Identified Site:
Omega Chemical - Sante Fe Springs, California
(c) There was a release of hazardous material at the Ray
Proof, Norwalk, Connecticut facility. This is a leased facility. The
cleanup is proceeding with approval of the Connecticut DEP. We are of
the belief that the cost of this cleanup will not have a material
adverse effect on the financial conditions, operations, assets,
business, properties or prospects of Bairnco and its subsidiaries
on a consolidated basis.
