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, 1995.
 
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 identity 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 performance 
materials for the printed circuit board industry, cast and calendered vinyl 
film systems, custom engineered laminates and pressure sensitive adhesive 
systems, and calendered and extruded silicone rubber insulation 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 United States and 
Canada, Atlantic Service in the United Kingdom, and Bertram & Graf and Biro 
in Continental Europe.


Comparison of First Quarter 1996 to First Quarter 1995

Sales in the first quarter 1996 decreased $429,000 or 1.1% to $38,094,000 
from $38,523,000 in 1995. The decrease in the first quarter sales was 
attributable to a 9.9% decline in Kasco's sales.  Arlon sales increased 3.6% 
as the growing telecommunications and graphics markets offset the decline in 
demand from the semiconductor and computer markets.
 
Gross profit decreased 2.1% to $13,438,000 from $13,729,000.  The decrease is 
attributable to lower sales and profit margin declines in major product 
lines.  The gross profit margin as a percent of sales decreased from 35.6% to 
35.3%.  The profit margin declines are due to the continuing increase in 
Arlon's lower margin commercial business and a shifting product mix in the 
graphics markets.  Kasco's gross profit and gross profit margin as a percent 
of sales both showed improvement as the divisions continued to focus on the 
core business.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased 5.0% to $9,621,000 from 
$10,132,000.  As a percent of sales, selling and administrative expenses 
decreased to 25.3% from 26.3%.  These decreases resulted primarily from a 
$400,000 reduction in Kasco's North American operations' selling expenses as 
the divisions continued to focus on the core business. 
  
Interest expense decreased $132,000 to $415,000 for the first quarter from 
$547,000 last year.  This decrease was the result of combined lower interest 
rates and lower average borrowings.

The effective tax rate for both the first quarter of 1996 and 1995 was 38%.  
The provision for income taxes in both periods includes all applicable 
federal, state, local and foreign income taxes.

Net income increased 11.5% to $2,109,000 as compared to $1,891,000 in the 
first quarter 1995. First quarter earnings of $.21 per share were up 16.7% 
from last year as a result of improved earnings and a reduced number of 
shares outstanding. 


Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 30, 1996, Bairnco had working capital of $29.8 million compared to 
$28.4 million at December 31, 1995.  The increase in accounts receivable 
relates to the increased sales activity during the first quarter of 1996 over 
that of the fourth quarter 1995.  The increase in accrued expenses is 
primarily due to the increase in accrued income taxes resulting from the 
first quarter 1996 earnings.

During the first quarter the Corporation repurchased an additional 349,000 
shares of common stock. This completed the program to repurchase $5,000,000 
of Bairnco's common stock authorized by the Board in the first quarter of 
last year.  A total of 835,200 shares were repurchased during the last twelve 
months.

At March 30, 1996, Bairnco's total debt outstanding was $28,831,000 compared 
to $24,578,000 at the end of 1995.  This increase was primarily due to the 
stock repurchases made during the first quarter and the acquisition of a 
small silicone product line that will be integrated with Bairnco's current 
silicone materials business at Arlon's Bear, Delaware facility.  At March 30, 
1996, approximately $20.3 million was available for borrowing under the 
Corporation's secured reducing revolving credit agreement, as amended April 
18, 1995.  In addition, approximately $4.2 million was available under 
various short-term domestic and foreign uncommitted credit facilities.  

Bairnco made approximately $2,847,000 of capital expenditures during the 
first quarter 1996. Total capital expenditures in 1996 are now expected to 
be approximately $14.9 million which includes approximately $1.8 million 
related to the small silicone product line acquisition.

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 1996.


Other Matters

Bairnco Corporation and its subsidiaries are defendants in a number of legal 
actions and proceedings which are discussed in more detail in Part II, 
Item 1 ("Legal Proceedings") of this filing.  Management of Bairnco believes 
that the disposition of these actions and proceedings 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 March 
30, 1996.



The Corporation has discontinued the property and business interruption 
insurance for earthquake damage in California and became self-insured for 
these exposures in mid-March 1996.  The cost of this insurance had continued 
to escalate and the loss deductibles that the Corporation would have had to 
retain under the available policies were significant. 

Outlook

Management is not aware of any adverse trends that would materially affect 
the Corporation's strong financial position.  Although the economy and many 
of Bairnco's markets have weakened or are showing lower growth, it is to 
expected that 1996 will be another year of continued improvement.





PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Since its announcement in January 1990 of its intention to spin-off Keene 
Corporation ("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 were consolidated in the United States District Court for the 
Southern District of New York, were subsequently 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.  On 
May 5, 1995, the Bankruptcy Court overseeing the reorganization of Keene 
entered an order allowing the Creditors' Committee to assume from Keene 
responsibility for the pursuit of claims arising out of the transfer of 
assets for value by Keene to other subsidiaries of Bairnco and the spin-offs 
of certain subsidiaries, including Keene, by Bairnco.  On June 8, 1995, the 
Creditors' Committee commenced an adversary proceeding in the Bankruptcy 
Court against Bairnco and others alleging that the transfers of assets by 
Keene were fraudulent and otherwise violative of law and seeking compensatory 
damages of $700 million, plus interest and punitive damages.  Bairnco and 
other defendants in the adversary proceeding have entered into a stipulation, 
which has been approved by the Bankruptcy Court, that calls for the adversary
proceeding to be litigated in the United States District Court for the 
Southern District of New York following the confirmation of Keene's plan of 
reorganization.  In the meantime, no answers or responsive pleadings have 
been filed in the adversary proceeding, and all proceedings have been stayed.

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 a separate action brought by Keene in the United States 
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, in which Keene seeks 
exclusive benefit of tax refunds attributable to the carryback by Keene of 
certain net operating losses ("NOL's"), notwithstanding certain provisions 
of tax sharing agreements between Keene and Bairnco.  (After filing this 
action, Keene ceded control of the action to the Creditors' Committee.)  
Pending resolution of the dispute by the Bankruptcy Court, any refunds 
actually received are to be placed in escrow.  Through March 30, 1996, 
approximately $28.5 million of refunds had been received and placed in 
escrow. By stipulation, which has been approved by the Bankruptcy Court, 
Bairnco and the Creditors' Committee have agreed to stay the NOL lawsuit 
without date pending confirmation of Keene's plan of reorganization (see 
below).  There can be no assurance whatsoever that resolution of the dispute 
with Keene will result in the release of any portion of the refunds to 
Bairnco. 

The Internal Revenue Service has taken the position that the NOL refunds, 
which are issued on a provisional basis, ultimately might be disapproved or 
reduced by the congressional Joint Committee on Taxation and in that event 
would have to be returned to the government in whole or in part.  There can
be no assurance that the NOL refunds ultimately will be approved.

On March 11, 1996, Keene began soliciting votes to accept or reject its 
proposed plan of reorganization.  The deadline for receipt of votes is May 
14, 1996, and a confirmation hearing is scheduled in the Bankruptcy Court for 
June 12, 1996.  There can be no assurance that the plan will be approved.    

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 
March 30, 1996.




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 Maitland, Florida 
on April 19, 1996. Stockholders ratified management's selection of Arthur 
Andersen LLP as auditors for Bairnco for the 1996 fiscal year and elected 
all nominees to the Board of Directors.
