Item 1.          BUSINESS

         a.      General Development of Business


         Kaydon Corporation (the "Company" or "Kaydon") was formed in October
1983, as a wholly owned subsidiary of Bairnco Corporation ("Bairnco" or "former
parent"), when it acquired all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities,
other than amounts due from affiliates, from a subsidiary of Keene Corporation,
another wholly owned subsidiary of Bairnco, which was then known as Kaydon
Corporation and is now inactive.
         The Company was spun off from Bairnco in April 1984 and is no longer a
member of its consolidated group.  This spinoff was effected in the form of a
100 percent stock dividend to stockholders of the former parent's common stock.
         On June 30, 1986, Kaydon Ring and Seal, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Kaydon, acquired for $29,600,000 certain assets and liabilities
of the Piston Ring and Seal Division of Koppers Company, Inc., a manufacturer
of piston rings and shaft seals.  This acquisition was consummated by Kaydon
Ring and Seal, Inc. with loaned funds from Kaydon.
         On July 17, 1987, Kaydon acquired for $5,100,000 certain assets and
liabilities of the Spirolox operation of TRW, Inc., a manufacturer of specialty
retaining rings.  This acquisition was consummated with funds acquired through
bank credit obtained in the normal course of business.
         On June 23, 1989, Kaydon Corporation, through its newly formed, wholly
owned subsidiaries, Kaydon Acquisition Corp. III and Kaydon Acquisition Corp.
IV, acquired for $22,710,000 all of the stock of I.D.M. Electronics Ltd., a
United Kingdom corporation, and KDI Electro-Tec Corp., a Delaware corporation,
from KDI Corporation.  I.D.M. Electronics Ltd. and Electro-Tec Corp.
manufacture high-performance, precision slip-rings, slip-ring capsules and
slip-ring assemblies.  Slip-rings are complex, electromechanical devices used
to transmit electric signals or electrical power between the rotating and
stationary members of an assembly, such as a gyro and its housing.  The
purchase price was financed by credit obtained in the normal course of
business.

         The Company designs, manufactures and sells custom-engineered products
for a broad and diverse customer base.  The Company's principal products
include antifriction bearings, bearing systems, filters, filter housings,
high-performance rings, sealing rings, specialty retaining rings, shaft seals
and slip-rings.  These products are used by customers in a variety of medical,
instrumentation, material handling, machine tool positioning, aerospace,

Products

         Kaydon works closely with its customers to engineer the required
solutions to their design problems.  Design solutions are frequently unique to
a single customer or application.  Depending upon the nature of the
application, the design may be used over a protracted time period and in large
numbers, or it may be for a single use.
         The antifriction bearing products of Kaydon incorporate various types
of rolling elements.  The ball, tapered roller, cylindrical roller and needle
roller bearings manufactured by Kaydon are made in sizes ranging from needle
bearings with a 1/2-inch outside diameter to heavy-duty ball bearings with an
outside diameter of 180 inches.  These antifriction products are fabricated
from aluminum, bearing-quality steel, stainless steel or special tool steels.
They often incorporate a broad range of features such as gearing, special
sealing systems and mounting arrangements in combination with other mechanical
components.
         As a custom manufacturer, many diverse applications are served.
Typical applications include large-diameter ball bearings for hydraulic cranes
and excavators; thin-section ball bearings for rotating joints of industrial
robots; lightweight airborne radar bearings; large-diameter aluminum roller
bearings for military vehicle turret systems; needle roller bearings for
passenger car transmissions; loose needle rollers for universal joints utilized
in light trucks, agricultural tractors

and passenger cars; special coalescing elements and filter housings for diesel
fuel filtration on both commercial and military vehicles; hydraulic filter
elements for tractor-mounted farm implement units; and ultra high-precision
roller bearings for gear box applications.
         Kaydon's subsidiary, Kaydon Ring and Seal, Inc., manufactures metallic
medium and large bore-size rings for low and medium-speed internal combustion
engines, steam engines, pumps and reciprocating compressors.  Sealing rings are
engineered with metallic and nonmetallic products used to limit the leakage of
fluids and gases within engines and a wide variety of other mechanical
products.  Sealing rings are used in industrial applications, such as:
compressors, transmissions, hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, and commercial
and military aircraft, jet engines and control apparatus applications.  Shaft
seals are used to seal gases or liquids usually under extreme conditions of
speed, pressure or temperature.  Shaft seals are fabricated from a variety of
materials depending on the application.
         Electro-Tec Corp. and I.D.M. Electronics Ltd., wholly owned
subsidiaries of Kaydon Corporation, design and manufacture precision,
high-performance slip-rings, slip-ring assemblies, capsules and related
electromechanical devices to meet customers' exact needs and specifications.
Slip-rings are manufactured from injection and transfer-molded plastics,
aluminum and stainless steel castings, bearings and electronic components and
connectors, and are sometimes subjected to an electro-deposition process.  They
are used to transmit electrical signals or power between the rotating and
stationary members of an assembly and can be found in combat vehicles, aircraft
inertial guidance systems, telecommunications satellites, aircraft targeting
systems and medical diagnostic equipment.
         Cooper Bearings Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Kaydon Corporation,
designs and manufactures a range of split roller bearings, which include both
standard and custom-designed lines.  Split bearings are designed specifically
to aid the customer in solving problems where the application of full round
bearings would be less desirable.  The product is used in a wide range of

         On December 4, 1993 the Company acquired, for approximately $716,000,
the assets of Kenyon Power Transmission Ltd. of Manchester, England.  Kenyon
manufactures pulleys and drive components which are complementary to the
product offering of the Company's subsidiary, Cooper U.K., into which it will
be absorbed.
         Subsequent to year end, on January 28, 1994 the Company acquired, for
approximately $7,500,000, the assets of Industrial Tectonics Inc located in
Dexter, Michigan.  This company has been in existence since 1946 and is noted
for the production of balls made of alloyed steel, plastic, tungsten carbide,
glass and an assortment of other materials which are used in gauges, floats,
measuring instruments, ball point pens and antifriction bearings.
         The Company has not made any other public announcement of, or
otherwise made public information about, a new product or a new industry
segment which would require the investment of a material amount of the
Company's assets or which would otherwise result in a material cost.

Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Etc.

         The Company does not believe that any material part of its business is
dependent on the continued availability of any one or all of its patents or
trademarks.

Seasonal Nature of Business

         The Company does not consider its business to be seasonal in nature.

Working Capital Practices

         The Company does not believe that it or the industry in general has
any special practices or special conditions affecting working capital items
that are significant for an understanding of the Company's business.

Customers

         Kaydon sells its products to over 1,000 companies throughout the
world.  The principal customers are generally large manufacturing corporations.
During 1993, 1992 and 1991, sales to no single customer exceeded 10% of total
sales.





                                       6

        Replacement parts are sold mainly through specialized distributors.
Kaydon had export sales of $10,979,000 in 1993, $9,102,000 in 1992, and
$10,762,000 in 1991, with most of such sales concentrated in Canada, Europe and
Japan.

Marketing

         Kaydon's sales organization consists of salespersons and
representatives located throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia.
Salespersons are trained to provide technical assistance to customers, as well
as to provide liaison with factory engineering staffs.
         A nationwide network of specialized distributors and agents provides
local availability of Kaydon products to serve the requirements of the
replacement market and small original equipment manufacturers.

Manufacturing

         Kaydon manufactures virtually all of the products it sells and
utilizes subcontractors only for occasional specialized services.  Kaydon's
products require sophisticated processes and equipment, and many of its
products incorporate unique Kaydon-developed production techniques.  Certain
satellite and aircraft-type bearing products must meet extraordinary mechanical
tolerances (for example, within 20 millionths of an inch) and many bearings and
slip-rings are assembled in quality-controlled "white room" conditions.  Nearly
all of Kaydon's products require high levels of incoming quality control and
process quality control.  The manufacturing equipment required for Kaydon's
operations entails a very high level of capital investment for any given level
of sales.

Suppliers

         Kaydon and its subsidiaries purchase large quantities of raw
materials, mainly bearing-quality steel, special alloy steel, high-grade carbon
and filter media, aluminum alloy and stainless steel castings, plastics, wire
and electrical connectors, from multiple sources.  Kaydon purchases large
amounts of certain types of bearing-quality steel from a number of foreign
suppliers.  No significant supply problems have been encountered in recent
years as relationships with suppliers have generally been good.

Environmental Matters

15 and 16 of Kaydon's 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders which is incorporated

Employees

         On December 31, 1993, Kaydon employed 1,671 employees.  Hourly
employees at the Muskegon facilities (including Norton Shores) are represented
by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers.  The
current collective bargaining agreement is effective until December 3, 1994.
The Baltimore hourly employees are also represented by the International
Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers.  The current collective
bargaining agreement is effective until November 5, 1995.  Greeneville hourly
employees are represented by the United Steelworkers of America, with the
current collective bargaining agreement effective until February 2, 1996.  The
remaining domestic factory employees, as well as all office employees, are
non-union.
         Kaydon provides its employees with a full range of insurance, pension
and deferred compensation benefits.  The Company believes its levels of total
compensation are equal to or better than comparable companies in communities
adjacent to each facility.

Backlog

         Kaydon sells certain products on a build-to-order basis that requires
substantial order lead time.  This results in a backlog of unshipped, scheduled
orders.  Other products are manufactured on the basis of sales projections or
annual blanket purchase orders.  Orders for such products are not entered into
backlog until explicit shipping releases are received.  Kaydon's backlog was
$84,385,000 at December 31, 1993 and $83,296,000 at December 31, 1992.  Based
on experience, management would expect to ship over the following twelve months
about 90 percent of the year-end backlog.  The backlog increase reversed a
downward trend over the last several years.  Backlog has become less indicative
of future results as the Company has made efforts to shorten manufacturing lead
times, creating a faster response to customer orders.

Competition

         Kaydon competes with divisions of SKF Industries, Timken Corporation,
Torrington/Fafnir, Rotek, FAG, EG&G Inc., Litton Poly-Scientific and numerous
other smaller companies.
         The markets served by Kaydon are large and extremely competitive.  The
major domestic competitors generally produce a wide line of standard products
and do not specialize in custom products.  The major domestic bearing
manufacturers nonetheless do offer special-engineered bearings.  The markets
for Kaydon's special-machined components, fabricated products, filters, rings
and seals are very diverse.  Consequently, management feels that the size of
the total market for such products cannot be meaningfully estimated.
         In all of the markets served by Kaydon, the principal methods of
competition involve price, product performance, engineering support and timely
delivery.
         Many of Kaydon's domestic competitors are part of large, worldwide
manufacturing concerns and have significantly greater financial resources.
While foreign competition is intense and growing for all industrial components,
the special nature of Kaydon's products and the close working relationship with
its customers have somewhat limited the impact of foreign competition on
domestic business.

Government Contracts and Renegotiation

         Various provisions of federal law and regulations require, under
certain circumstances, the renegotiation of military procurement contracts or
the refund of profits determined to be excessive.  Based on Kaydon's experience
under such provisions, management believes that no material renegotiation or
refunds (if any) will be required.

(Norton Shores), the assembly facility located in Newaygo, the manufacturing
facilities located in Sumter, Greeneville, LaGrange (lease option to purchase
exercised June 1, 1993), Baltimore, Blacksburg, Monterrey, Mexico, and King's
Lynn, England and the warehouse facility in Virginia Beach. The other property





                                       11
<PAGE>   14
in Muskegon was leased (under a capitalized lease) in connection with a
$10,000,000 Industrial Revenue Bond (IRB) financing for a term expiring January
15, 2009, with an option to purchase the property during the pendency of the
lease and an obligation to purchase the property for nominal consideration upon
its expiration.  The IRB's were paid off on January 4, 1993, the lease was
terminated, and the Company took title to the land.  Due to the continuing
shrinkage of the military and aerospace markets, Kaydon consolidated its three
Muskegon, Michigan plants into two buildings and closed this plant which is
located within a modern industrial park during the year.  Management does not
anticipate a material impact, if any, on earnings relating to the sale of this
facility and anticipates that the desirable location will allow the plant
facility to be sold for at least book value.  Kaydon operates at two sites in
Sumter, one site is owned and the other is leased (under a capitalized lease)
in connection with a $4,000,000 Industrial Revenue Bond financing for a term
expiring April 1, 1997, with an option to purchase the property during the
pendency of the lease and an obligation to purchase the property for nominal
consideration upon its expiration.  The St. Louis property is leased for a term
expiring July 31, 1997. The property in Reading, England, is leased for a term
expiring May 1, 2009.  The Krefeld, Germany property is leased for a term
expiring September 30, 1994.  The Corporate office located in Clearwater,
Florida is leased for a term expiring January 31, 1999.

Item 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         The Company, together with other companies, certain former officers,
and certain current and former directors, has been named as a co-defendant in
lawsuits filed in the federal court in New York.  The suits purport to be class
actions on behalf of all persons who have unsatisfied personal injury and
property damage claims against Keene Corporation.  The premise of the suits is
that assets of Keene were transferred to Bairnco subsidiaries, of which Kaydon
was one in 1983, at less than fair value.  The suits also allege that the
Company, among other named defendants, was a successor to and alter ego of
Keene.  While the ultimate outcome of this litigation is unknown at the present
time, management believes that it has meritorious defenses to the asserted
claims.  Accordingly, no provision has been reflected in the financial
statements for any alleged





                                       13
<PAGE>   16
damages.  Management believes that the outcome of this litigation will not have
a materially adverse effect on the Company's financial position.
         Various other claims, lawsuits and environmental matters arising in
the normal course of business are pending against the Company.  Management
believes that the outcome of these matters will not have a materially adverse
effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Item 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

         No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the

                MATTERS


         a. and c.        Market Information and Dividends

         Information regarding the market price of Kaydon's common stock
appears in Note 14, "Quarterly Results of Operations" of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements on page 27 of Kaydon's 1993 Annual Report to
Stockholders, which is incorporated herein by reference.  During 1992, the
Company effected a two-for-one stock split; accordingly, all applicable
financial data has been restated to reflect the split.  Kaydon's common stock
is listed on NASDAQ (over the counter) under the symbol KDON.  Kaydon declared
cash dividends during 1991, 1992 and 1993 as follows (on a per-share basis):

</TABLE>

Effective with the cash dividend declared in December 1993 and paid in January
1994, Kaydon adopted a plan which calls for quarterly cash dividends of $0.10
per share.  This recent increase in the dividend amount reflects Kaydon

                        ON FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES


To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Kaydon Corporation:

         We have audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated financial statements included in Kaydon Corporation
and Subsidiaries' annual report to stockholders incorporated by reference in
this Form 10-K, and have issued our report thereon dated January 20, 1994. Our
audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on those statements
taken as a whole. The schedules listed at Item 14.a.2. above are the
responsibility of the Company's management and are presented for purposes of
complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and are not part
of the basic financial statements. These schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements
and, in our opinion, fairly state in all material respects the financial data
required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Results of Operations

1993 Compared to 1992

   Net sales increased slightly from $183,904,000 to $184,060,000 in 1993.  The
backlog of unshipped orders at the end of the year also increased to
$84,385,000 from $83,296,000 last year.  The backlog increase reversed a
downward trend over the last several years.  Backlog has become less indicative
of future results as the Company has made efforts to shorten manufacturing lead
times creating a faster response to customer orders.

   Gross profit as a percentage of sales in 1993 was 36.8% compared to 36.0% in
1992.  The increase is attributable to improved manufacturing results.

   Selling and administrative expenses decreased to $23,467,000 or 12.7% of
sales from $23,958,000 or 13.0% of sales.  The slight decrease in selling and
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales represents the Company's
efforts to control expenses.

   Net interest income this year of $142,000 compared to net interest expense
of $1,471,000 last year resulted from the repayment during late 1992 of the
Cooper Bearings acquisition debt and the repayment of $10,000,000 of Industrial
Revenue Bonds in early January of 1993.

   The effective tax rate for 1993 was 37.7% compared to 37.1% in 1992.  The
increase is a direct result of the increased corporate tax rates created by the
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993.

1992 Compared to 1991

   Net sales increased by 14.2% from 1991 to $183,904,000.  The 1992 sales
include a full year's sales from Cooper Bearings, acquired late in 1991.
Without the addition of Cooper, sales would have been essentially flat with the
prior year.  The backlog of unshipped orders at the end of the year was
$83,296,000 as compared to $93,192,000 at the end of 1991.  The decrease is due
in part to delays in the release of some large government orders for bearings
and slip-rings.

   Gross profit as a percentage of sales in 1992 was 36.0% compared to 34.8% in
1991.  The increase primarily reflects the full year addition of Cooper,
partially offset by the additional cost associated with the adoption of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 106.  Cooper's line
of split bearings generally carries higher gross margins than do many of
Kaydon's other products.

   Two accounting changes, SFAS 106 - "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions", and SFAS No. 109 - "Accounting for Income Taxes"
were adopted in the fourth quarter of 1992.  Both of the Standards require
retroactive restatement to the beginning of the year.

   SFAS 106 requires recognition of employer-provided nonpension retirement
benefits on an accrual basis rather than on a cash basis, the previous standard
accounting practice.  The effect of the adoption of SFAS 106 is two-fold; a
one-time portion that recognizes the cumulative effect of the change net of
tax; and an on-going portion that recognizes the Company's additional annual
expense.  The former is $16,047,000 which is identified as a separate item on
the Company's consolidated statements of income.  The latter, net of tax, is
$1,088,000.

   SFAS 109 requires the Company to change its method of recognizing deferred
tax assets and liabilities.  The change decreased the Company's overall
deferred tax liability and resulted in a one-time cumulative benefit of
$803,000 which is recorded as a separate item on the Company's consolidated
statements of income.

   Operating profit increased by $2,395,000 to $42,222,000 in 1992.  Operating
profit before the current year effects of SFAS 106 increased by $4,119,000 to
$43,946,000.  Operating profit as a percentage of sales was 23.0% in 1992
compared to 24.7% in 1991.  Operating profit as a percentage of sales before
the current year effects of SFAS 106 would have been 23.9%.  The decrease in
operating profit percentage is due primarily to higher selling and
administrative expenses associated with the Cooper Bearings operation and the
amortization of the goodwill associated with the acquisition.

   Net interest expense increased $1,082,000, to $1,471,000 from $389,000 in
1991.  The increase is a direct result of debt associated with the Cooper
Bearing acquisition in December of 1991.  This debt was paid off in late 1992.

   The effective tax rate for 1992 was 37.1%, as compared to 35.5% in 1991.
The adoption of SFAS 109 had no effect on the current year effective tax rate.
The increase was due to higher overall state income tax.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   Working capital was $71,810,000 at December 31, 1993, as compared to
$56,754,000 at December 31, 1992, reflecting current ratios of 3.1 and 2.4,
respectively.  The increase in working capital primarily reflects the increase
of cash and securities of $10,864,000 from 1992 to 1993 and the decrease in
current debt of $8,466,000, partially offset by increases in payables and
accrued expenses of $2,403,000.

   Total debt decreased $2,778,000 from December 31, 1992, to a level of
$15,312,000.  The components of the debt at year-end are short-term bank
borrowings of $312,000, current portion of long-term debt of $1,312,000 and
long-term debt of $13,688,000.  Cash and securities on hand of $24,528,000
exceed total debt by $9,216,000 whereas last year debt exceeded cash and
securities by $4,426,000.  The Company's cash generation from operating
activities was a record at $39,237,000.  Net capital expenditures during the
year relating to plant and equipment were $5,088,000, and the Company spent
approximately $14,400,000 to repurchase 760,000 shares of its stock on the open
market.  The Company's stock purchase was pursuant to an authorization to
purchase up to 1,000,000 shares approved by its Board of Directors in September
of 1993.

                                       15
<PAGE>   3
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)

   The Company's planned capital requirements for 1994 consist principally of
capital expenditures relating to plant and equipment, cash dividends to
stockholders and the potential purchase of the remaining 240,000 shares of the
Company's stock, pursuant to the plan discussed in the previous paragraph.
Planned capital expenditures relating to environmental issues are not expected
to be material, however, such expenditures could be influenced by new and
revised environmental regulations and laws.  It is expected that these capital
requirements will be financed by operating activities.

   The Company is actively seeking potential acquisitions and, depending upon
the size and structure of such acquisitions, financing may be required.  On
January 28, 1994, the Company completed the purchase of the assets of
Industrial Tectonics Inc for approximately $7,500,000.

   The Company had in place at December 31, 1993, short-term lines of credit of
$31,000,000 with $30,688,000 available and revolving credit and term loan
agreements in the amount of $62,500,000 with $55,500,000 available.

Other

Effect of Foreign Currency Translation

   A portion of the Company's sales, income and cash flows is derived from its
international operations.  The financial position and the results of operations
of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency of
the countries in which they operate and are translated into U.S. dollars.
Accordingly, the Company's consolidated operating results and net assets will
fluctuate depending upon the strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar.

Supplemental Information on Changing Prices

   The impact of inflation on the Company has been moderate over the last
several years and is believed to be consistent with that of the industry as a
whole.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

   Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112, "Employers' Accounting
for Postemployment Benefits" ("SFAS 112"), was issued in November 1992 and
requires companies to accrue, during the period an employee renders service,
the expense of providing certain post-employment benefits.  Currently, the
Company recognizes the expense of such benefits, to the extent provided, at the
time payment is deemed probable.  Adoption of SFAS 112 is required no later
than 1994.  The Company will adopt SFAS 112 effective January 1, 1994.  The
Company estimates an after tax charge of approximately $2,000,000 relating to
the adoption.

Environmental

   Environmental protection laws continue to affect the Company's manufacturing
operations.  The Company has complied with these laws by making various capital
expenditures for pollution control equipment and through plant operational
practices.  This compliance has not had, nor does the Company expect it to
have, a material effect on financial results.  Of course, the Company cannot
assess the possible effect of compliance with future regulations and laws.

   During May of 1993, Kaydon Ring & Seal, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company, elected to close a chrome plating line due to the discovery of a
possible wastewater/groundwater interface problem.  The unilateral decision by
Ring & Seal was not prompted by government order, but rather was precautionary
to ensure compliance with environmental laws and regulations.  A temporary
plating line was built, resulting in little impact on Ring & Seal's operations.
The cost of approximately $650,000 associated with this situation was charged
to operations during 1993.  Currently, the Company is evaluating future plans
for its chrome plating line.  A permanent above ground line would result in a
capital expenditure of approximately $1,000,000.

   In late 1985, Kaydon entered into discussions with the Michigan Department
of Natural Resources ("MDNR") to develop a remedial cleanup plan for one of its
plant sites in Muskegon, Michigan, which is on the Environmental Protection
Agency's ("EPAS") National Priority List.  In 1986, Kaydon took measures
necessary to clean up the site according to the plan approved by the MDNR.
These measures included the removal and disposal of contaminated soils and the
drilling of groundwater monitoring wells, the results of which have been
continually reported to the MDNR.  Management believes that it has worked with
the MDNR and EPA to the letter and spirit of the law.  The site is being
evaluated to determine if further action is required.  While it is impossible
to forecast the ultimate future cost, management believes, based upon nine
years of evaluating the site, that such cost will not be material to its
operating results.

Litigation

   The Company, together with other companies, certain former officers, and
certain current and former directors, has been named as a co-defendant in
lawsuits filed in the federal court of New York.  The suits purport to be class
actions on behalf of all persons who have unsatisfied personal injury and
property damage claims against Keene Corporation.  The premise of the suits is
that assets of Keene were transferred to Bairnco subsidiaries, of which Kaydon
was one in 1983, at less than fair value.  The suits also allege that the
Company, among other named defendants, were successors to and alter egos of
Keene.  While the ultimate outcome of this litigation is unknown at the present
time, management believes that it has meritorious defenses to the asserted
claims.  Accordingly, no provision has been reflected in the consolidated
financial statements for any alleged damages.  Management believes that the
outcome of this litigation will not have a materially adverse effect on the
Company's financial position.

   Various other claims, lawsuits and environmental matters arising in the
normal course of business are pending against the Company.  Management believes
that the outcome of these matters will not have a materially adverse effect on
the Company's financial position or results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
______________________________________________________________________________

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Kaydon Corporation:

   We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kaydon
Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993
and 1992, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders'
investment and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1993.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

   We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

   In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Kaydon Corporation and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1993 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

   As explained in Notes 5 and 11 to the consolidated financial statements,
effective January 1, 1992, the Company changed its methods of accounting for
income taxes and postretirement benefits other than pensions.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
KAYDON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDARIES
________________________________________________________________________________

(1)      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation:

         The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kaydon
Corporation (the "Company") and its domestic and foreign subsidiaries, all of
which are wholly-owned.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated.

Description of Business:

         The Company designs, manufactures and sells custom-engineered products
for a broad and diverse customer base.  The Company's principal products
include antifriction bearings, bearing systems, filters, filter housings, high
performance rings, sealing rings, specialty retaining rings, shaft seals and
slip rings.  These products are used by customers in a variety of medical,
instrumentation, material handling, machine tool positioning, aerospace,
defense, construction and other industrial applications.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

         Cash and cash equivalents consist of $3,860,000 of cash held in banks
and $20,668,000 in highly liquid investments with maturity dates of three
months or less from the date of purchase.  Due to the short maturities of these
investments, the carrying amount approximates fair market value.  Cash
equivalents are high-credit quality financial instruments of which
approximately $17,000,000 are short-term United States Treasury Bills.

Inventories:

         Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market and include
material, labor and overhead.  Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out
("FIFO") method for substantially all inventories.  Inventories are summarized
as follows:

</TABLE>

Plant and Equipment:                

         Plant and equipment are stated at cost.  The cost is depreciated over
the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight line method.  Useful
lives vary among the classifications, but generally fall within the following
ranges:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                <C>
Buildings, land improvements and
 leasehold improvements .......................... 10 - 40 years
Machinery and equipment ..........................  4 - 15 years
</TABLE>

         Leasehold improvements are amortized over the terms of the respective
leases or over their useful lives, whichever is shorter.  Renewals and
betterments are capitalized while maintenance and repairs are charged to
operations in the year incurred.

Research and Development Costs:

         Research and development costs, which are not material to the
consolidated statements of income, are expensed as incurred.

Cost in Excess of Net Tangible Assets of Purchased 
Businesses:

         Cost in excess of net tangible assets of purchased businesses totaling
$16,239,000 arose prior to 1971 and is not being amortized since, in the
opinion of management, there has been no diminution in value.  Cost in excess
of net tangible assets of purchased businesses acquired after 1970 is being
amortized straight line over a period of 40 years and is stated net of
accumulated amortization of $1,971,000 and $1,132,000 at December 31, 1993 and
1992, respectively.


Other Assets:

         Other assets include, among other items, deferred tax assets and
various patents and noncompete agreements.  Deferred tax assets are further
discussed in Note 5.  Patents and noncompete agreements are being amortized on
a straight line basis over 15 years and 7 years, respectively.  They are stated
net of accumulated amortization of $2,118,000 and $1,883,000 at December 31,
1993 and 1992, respectively.  

Foreign Currency Translation:

         The financial position and results of operations of the Company's
United Kingdom and German subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as
the functional currency.  Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange
rate in effect at year end.  Income statement accounts are translated at the
average rate of exchange in effect during the year.  The resulting translation
adjustment is recorded as a separate component of stockholders' investment.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

         The carrying amount of financial instruments included in current
assets and current liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term
nature of these instruments.  The stated value of the Company's long-term debt
approximates fair value as interest rates on that debt are tied to the prime
commercial rate and adjust frequently to prevailing market conditions.

Reclassifications:

         Certain reclassifications of prior years' amounts have been made to
conform to 1993 classifications.

(2)      Capital Stock

         On April 16, 1992, the Company's stockholders approved an amendment to
the Articles of Incorporation increasing the authorized common stock from
12,000,000 to 48,000,000 shares of $.10 par value stock.  Subsequent to
receiving approval to increase the authorized shares, on April 16, 1992, the
Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split for stockholders of record
at April 30, 1992.  Common stock was


                                      22
<PAGE>   10
_______________________________________________________________________________

increased by $869,000 with an offsetting reduction to additional paid-in
capital, to reflect the $.10 par value per share for each additional share
issued.

         Where applicable, references in the financial statements with regard
to number of shares of common stock or related per share amounts have been
restated to reflect the stock split.

(3)      Acquisitions

         On December 16, 1991, the Company acquired all of the capital stock of
Prizerandom Limited, a United Kingdom corporation for $43,440,000.  Prizerandom
Limited is a holding company for Cooper Bearings Limited, a United Kingdom
corporation, that was the primary subject of the acquisition.  Cooper Bearings
Limited is itself a holding company comprised of three subsidiaries, all of
which are manufacturers or distributors of complete bearings and related
component parts.  The acquisition was financed by Kaydon Corporation cash plus
bank loans obtained in the normal course of business.

         The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting, and, accordingly, the net assets and results of operations of
Cooper Bearings Limited are included in the 1991 consolidated financial
statements since November 23, 1991, the effective date of the acquisition for
financial reporting purposes.

         In accordance with the purchase method of accounting, the purchase
price was allocated to the underlying assets and liabilities acquired based on
their respective estimated fair values at the effective date of the
acquisition.  The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of
net assets acquired of $30,988,000 was recorded as Cost in Excess of Net
Tangible Assets of Purchased Businesses and is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over 40 years.

         The cash paid for the acquisition is summarized as follows:

Pro forma unaudited operating results of the Company and its subsidiaries,
assuming the acquisition had been made on January 1, 1991, are summarized
below:

</TABLE>                                             

(4)      Earnings Per Share

         Earnings per share of common stock are based on the weighted average
of outstanding common shares and common share equivalents to the extent they
are dilutive during the three years presented (approximately 17,313,000
17,439,000, 17,336,000 in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively).

(5)      Income Taxes

         Effective January 1, 1992, the Company adopted the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes" ("SFAS 109").  SFAS 109 requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities
and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been
included in the financial statements or tax returns.  Under this method,
deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference
between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using
enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected
to reverse.

         As of January 1, 1992, the Company recorded a tax credit of
approximately $803,000 or $.04 per share, which represents the net decrease to
the deferred tax liability as of that date.  Such amount has been reflected
in the 1992 consolidated statement of income as a cumulative prior year effect
of a change in accounting principle. There was no significant effect on 1992
pre-tax income resulting from the adoption of SFAS 109.

The provision for income taxes consisted of the following:

         The deferred component of the provision for income taxes arose from
the reflection of certain items in different periods for financial reporting
and income tax purposes. The significant components of the net deferred income
tax credits during the year ending December 31, 1991 were as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
KAYDON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
______________________________________________________________________________

         In 1993, 1992 and 1991, the Company's effective tax rates were 37.7%, 
37.1% and 35.5%, respectively, of income before income taxes and differed from
the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate primarily due to the effect of state
income taxes, net of the federal tax benefit.

         Cash expended for income taxes totaled $19,603,000 in 1993, 
$15,164,000 in 1992 and $16,085,000 in 1991.

         The tax effect and type of significant temporary differences by 
component which give rise to the net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 1993
and 1992 are as follows:

</TABLE>

         The Company has not provided for United States income taxes on 
undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries.  Recording of deferred income 
taxes on these undistributed earnings is not required as these earnings have 
been permanently reinvested.  The amounts subject to U.S taxation upon 
remittance of these earnings as dividends would be substantially offset by 
available foreign tax credits.

(6)      Short-Term Debt

         The Company has short-term lines of credit with banks totaling 
$31,000,000 with approximately $312,000 and $90,000 outstanding at December 31,
1993 and 1992, respectively.  The rates of interest on the outstanding balances
of each of these lines are at or slightly below the applicable prime commercial
rate (as defined in the respective agreements), which was 6.0% at December 31, 
1993.

(7)      Long-Term Debt

         The Company's long-term debt consists of the following at December 31,:

</TABLE>

         The revolving credit line represents borrowings under a $60,000,000 
domestic revolving credit and term loan agreement.  The interest rate in effect
at December 31, 1993, was 3.94%.  The borrowing rate is defined in the 
agreements and is adjusted quarterly based upon a debt-to-equity ratio.  The 
borrowing rate is generally the prime commercial rate or lower.  Commitment 
fees ranging from 1/4% to 1/2% of the unused portion of credit are charged 
quarterly.  The Company also has available a $2,500,000 foreign line of credit.

         The Industrial Revenue Bonds ("IRBs") are due from 1997 through 1999 
and provide for monthly interest payments at a floating rate derived from the 
prime commercial rate, market conditions and the credit rating of the bank 
issuing the letter of credit collateralizing the bonds.  The IRB's are subject 
to purchase and put agreements whereby the bondholders may, at their option, 
sell the bonds to the Company at face value in 1996.

         The annual maturities for long-term debt, assuming the Industrial 
Revenue bondholders do not exercise their option to sell the bonds to the 
Company, are summarized as follows:

         Provisions of the IRB and revolving credit agreements contain 
covenants which require, among other things, the maintenance of a minimum 
working capital ratio and a specified level of stockholders' investment.  At 
December 31, 1993, the Company was in compliance with these provisions under 
its debt agreements.

         Cash expended for interest on debt totaled $349,000 in 1993, 
$1,943,000 in 1992 and $1,586,000 in 1991.

(8)      Stock Options

         On April 21, 1993, the Company's stockholders approved two new stock 
option plans, the 1993 Stock Option Plan and the 1993 Non-Employee Directors 
Stock Option Plan.  The Company's previous stock option plan, created in 1984 
with a term of ten years, was terminated.  No grants were made from the 1984



                                       24

plan during 1993 and the plan terminated with approximately 300,000
shares available for grant.  The 1993 Stock Option Plan has a maximum 1,000,000
shares available for grant of which 885,250 remain available for grant at
December 31, 1993.  The 1993 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan has a
maximum 100,000 shares available for grant of which 90,000 remain available for
grant at December 31, 1993.  Under the terms of both Plans, the purchase price
of shares subject to each option granted will not be less than fair market value
at the date of grant.  Options granted become exercisable at the rate of 25% per
year, commencing one year after the date of grant and expiring five years from
the date of grant.  No charges to operations are recorded with respect to
authorization, grants or exercise of these options.

(9)      Plant Consolidation

         During 1993, the Company closed one of its plants and moved the
operations to two existing plants.  This consolidation did not result in the
discontinuation of any product lines.  In addition to severance and relocation
costs incurred of approximately $900,000, the consolidation generated a
$2,158,000 reduction in the accrued postretirement benefit obligation, offset
by a $1,163,000 increase in accrued pension cost.  The net effect of the plant
consolidation was not significant to the operating results or financial
position of the Company.

(10)     Employee Benefit Plans

         The Company maintains several defined benefit pension plans which cover
substantially all employees.  Benefits paid under these plans are based
generally on employees' years of service and compensation during the final years
of employment.  The Company's policy is to fund the minimum amounts required by
ERISA.  Plan assets consist principally of publicly traded equity and debt
securities which included 80,000 shares of Kaydon Corporation common stock at
December 31, 1993 and 1992.

         Net pension cost included the following components:

         The Company and its domestic subsidiaries also offer their employees a
401(k) savings plan in which substantially all of their employees may
participate.  For Kaydon Corporation and its subsidiary, Kaydon Ring and Seal,
Inc., the plan is for employee contributions only.  For the Company's
subsidiary, Electro-Tec Corp., the employer matches employee contributions in
accordance with a formula defined by the plan.  Electro-Tec Corp. contributed
$209,000 in 1993 and 1992 and $186,000 in 1991 to the 401(k) plan in the form
of matching contributions.

(11)     Other Postretirement Benefits

         The Company provides certain retiree health care and life insurance
benefits covering the majority of U.S. salaried and hourly employees.
Employees are generally eligible for benefits upon retirement or long-term
disability and completion of a specified number of years of credited service.
These benefits are subject to cost-sharing provisions and other limitations.
The Company does not pre-fund these benefits and has the right to modify or
terminate certain of these benefits in the future.

         During the fourth quarter of 1992, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," retroactive to January 1, 1992.
This statement requires the accrual of the cost of providing postretirement
benefits for medical, dental and life insurance coverage over the active
service period of the employee.  The Company elected to immediately recognize
the accumulated liability, measured as of January 1, 1992 which totaled
$16,047,000 or $.92 per share after tax.  In addition, this change in
accounting principle also decreased 1992 income after tax by $1,088,000 or $.06
per share.  Prior to 1992, the Company recognized retiree health care and life
insurance costs in the year the benefits were paid.  Postretirement medical,
dental and life insurance costs charged to operating expense totaled 
$1,115,000 in 1991.

         The components of net postretirement benefit cost are as follows:

         The plans' funded status at December 31, 1993 and 1992, is as follows:

        The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation ("APBO") was
actuarially determined based on assumptions regarding the discount rate and
projected future increases in postretirement benefit costs (the health care
cost trend rate).  The discount rate used in the valuation of the APBO was
7.50% and 8.25% for 1993 and 1992, respectively.  The health care cost trend
rate for 1994 was estimated at 15% (16% in 1993) for participants under the age
of 65 and 10.5% (11.5% in 1993) for those age 65 and older.  Both rates are
assumed to decrease ratably to 6% (7% in 1993) by 2002 and remain at that level
thereafter.  A 1% increase in the health care cost trend rate would have
increased the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by approximately
$2,765,000, and the net postretirement benefit cost by approximately $314,000
in 1993.

(12)     Postemployment Benefits

         In November 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits".  This statement requires employers to accrue, no
later than fiscal 1994, for benefits provided to former or inactive employees
after employment but prior to retirement.  For the Company, this statement
primarily applies to costs associated with disability-related benefits.
Management estimates that adoption of the new statement will reduce net income
by approximately $2,000,000 in 1994.

(13)     Lease Commitments

         Total minimum rentals payable under operating leases that have initial
or remaining noncancellable lease terms in excess of one year as of December
31, 1993 are as follows:

         Aggregate rental expense charged to operations was $1,249,000,
$1,339,000 and $1,121,000 in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.

(15) Business Segment Information

  The Company operates predominately in one industry segment, the design,
manufacture and sale of custom-engineered products.  During 1993, 1992 and
1991, no sales to a single customer exceeded 10% of total sales.  Transfers
between geographic areas represent the selling price of sales to affiliates,
which is generally based on cost plus a mark-up.  Corporate assets are those
assets maintained for general purposes, principally cash, cash equivalents and
goodwill.  All other assets have been identified with domestic or foreign
operations.  Prior to 1992, the Company's operations in Europe amounted to less
than 10% of consolidated sales, operating profit and assets.  Information
regarding the Company's operations in the United States and Europe for 1993 and
1992 is as follows:

(16) Contingencies

  The Company, together with other companies, certain former officers, and
certain current and former directors, has been named as a co-defendant in
lawsuits filed in the federal court of New York.  The suits purport to be class
actions on behalf of all persons who have unsatisfied personal injury and
property damage claims against Keene Corporation.  The premise of the suits is
that assets of Keene were transferred to Bairnco subsidiaries, of which Kaydon
was one in 1983, at less than fair value.  The suits also allege that the
Company, among other named defendants, were successors to and alter egos of
Keene.  While the ultimate outcome of this litigation is unknown at the present
time, management believes that it has meritorious defenses to the asserted
claims.  Accordingly, no provision has been reflected in the consolidated
financial statements for any alleged damages.  Management believes that the
outcome of this litigation will not have a materially adverse effect on the
Company's financial position.

  Various other claims, lawsuits and environmental matters arising in the
normal course of business are pending against the Company.  Management believes
that the outcome of these matters will not have a materially adverse effect on
the Company's financial position or results of operations.
