                    Report of Independent Public Accountants



To the Administrative Committee of
the Kaydon Corporation Employee
Stock Ownership and Thrift Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the KAYDON CORPORATION EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP AND THRIFT PLAN as
of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related statements of changes in net
assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended.  These financial
statements and the schedules referred to below are the responsibility of the
Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and schedules 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 net assets available for plan benefits as of
December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the changes in net assets available for plan
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes and reportable transactions are presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The fund information in
the statements of net assets available for plan benefits and the statements of
changes in net assets available for plan benefits is presented for purposes of
additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for plan
benefits and changes in net assets available for plan benefits of each fund.
The supplemental schedules and fund information have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements
and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to
the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                               KAYDON CORPORATION

                    EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP AND THRIFT PLAN


                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES

          The financial statements of the Kaydon Corporation Employee Stock
             Ownership and Thrift Plan (the "Plan") are presented on the
             accrual basis of accounting.  The Plan is subject to the
             applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security
             Act of 1974, as amended.  Investments are stated at current value,
             which is the quoted market price, except for guaranteed investment
             contracts included in the Income Advantage Fund which are reported
             at contract value.  Purchases and sales of investments are
             recorded on a trade-date basis.

          In accordance with the policy of stating investments at current
             market value, net realized and unrealized appreciation and
             depreciation is reflected in the statements of changes in net
             assets available for plan benefits.


(2)  DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

          The following description of the major provisions of the Plan, a
             defined contribution plan, is provided for general information
             purposes only.  Reference should be made to the Plan document, as
             amended, for more complete information.

          Eligibility requirements - All employees of Kaydon Corporation and
             subsidiaries (the "Company" or "Employer"), excluding employees of
             its Electro-Tec Corporation and foreign subsidiaries, who are 21
             years of age and have completed at least 500 hours of service
             during a six-month period are eligible on the January 1st, April
             1st, July 1st, and October 1st coincident with or immediately
             following such six-month period.

          Contributions - Participants may authorize the Employer to make
             salary deferral contributions on their behalf of not less than 1%
             nor more than 15% of their compensation, not to exceed the
             limitations established by the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code").
             In addition, the Employer may contribute to the Plan for each plan
             year an amount approved by the Board of Directors.  There were no
             discretionary employer contributions in 1994 or 1993.

                                  (Continued)





(2)  DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN, continued

          Vesting - Participants have a nonforfeitable right to their
             contributions and any earnings thereon.  Discretionary employer
             contributions vest over a seven year period in annual increments
             ranging from ten to twenty percent.

          A participant who terminates employment due to death, disability or
             normal retirement shall be 100% vested in their entire
             discretionary employer contributions.

          Forfeitures - A participant forfeits the unvested portion of their
             discretionary employer contributions upon five consecutive breaks
             in service (a single break in service defined as a plan year
             during which a participant fails to complete 500 hours of
             service).  Forfeited amounts are applied to reduce employer
             discretionary contributions.

          Investment of participant accounts - The participant may direct the
             investment of their account balances in eight investment options.
             All but the Common Stock and Income Advantage Funds are part of
             the Parkstone mutual funds.  The Common Stock Fund invests in
             Kaydon Corporation Common Stock.  The Small Capital Fund invests
             primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks and
             securities convertible into common stocks of small and medium
             sized companies.  The Income Equity Fund invests primarily in
             stocks and securities convertible into common stock of all size
             companies.  The Bond Fund invests in a portfolio of medium and
             high-grade debt securities with fixed maturity dates and interest
             rates.  The Intermediate Government Obligations Fund invests
             primarily in U.S. Government securities with remaining maturities
             of twelve years or less.  The Prime Obligations Fund invests
             primarily in short-term obligations issued by the U.S.
             Government, high quality money market instruments and corporate
             promissory notes.  The Balanced Fund invests in common stocks of
             U.S. companies with market capitalization of $1 billion and
             greater, bonds of U.S. government agencies, mortgage-related bonds
             and corporate bonds.  The Income Advantage Fund invests primarily
             in guaranteed investment contracts, corporate investment contracts
             and commercial paper.

(2)  DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN, continued

          Allocation of investment income/loss - Each participant's account is
             adjusted for investment income or loss.  Such adjustment will
             occur on each valuation date, as defined in the Plan, and will be
             allocated to each participant's account in proportion to the ratio
             that the value of each participant's account bears to the total
             value of the accounts of all participants within the respective
             fund as of the previous valuation date.

          Payment of benefits - Benefits are paid in the form of a lump-sum
             payment via distribution of the Company's common stock, cash or a
             combination thereof, as directed by the participant for those
             participants who have investments in the common stock fund.
             Benefits for participants in other funds are paid in cash.  The
             payment date generally will not be later than the 60th day
             following the end of the plan year in which the participant
             attains age 65, retires, terminates or dies, as applicable.

          Administrative expenses - Although not required to do so, the
             Employer paid certain administrative expenses of the Plan during
             1994 and 1993.  The remaining expenses were paid for out of Plan
             assets by First of America Bank Corporation (the "Trustee").

          Voting rights - Each participant is entitled to exercise voting
             rights attributable to the Kaydon Corporation common shares
             allocated to his or her account and is notified by the Trustee
             prior to the time that such rights are to be exercised.  The
             Trustee is not permitted to vote any share for which instructions
             have not been given by a participant.

          Plan termination - The Employer has the right under the provisions of
             the Plan to terminate the Plan, although it has not expressed an
             intent to do so.  In the event of the termination of the Plan or a
             complete discontinuance of contributions to the Plan, each
             participant shall have a nonforfeitable interest in the entire
             amount credited to his separate account in the trust fund; and,
             after providing for the payment of all debts and administrative
             expenses, the amounts standing to such participants' credit shall
             be distributed to such participants in accordance with the Plan
             and the Code.

 (3)  TRUST FUND

          A trust fund is maintained by the Trustee for all purposes of the
             Plan, and the moneys and other assets thereof are held,
             administered, invested and distributed in accordance with its
             terms, as it may be amended from time to time, for the exclusive
             benefit of the participants and their beneficiaries.


(4)  TAX STATUS

          The Plan has received a favorable determination letter from the
             Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), dated April 9, 1990,
             indicating that the Plan, as stated, qualifies for tax-exempt
             status.  During 1994, the Company restated the Plan to meet the
             requirements of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and filed for a
             favorable determination letter incorporating amendments made
             subsequent to April 9, 1990.

          The Plan administrator and the Plan's legal counsel believe that the
             Plan and underlying trust are designed and operated in compliance
             with the applicable requirements of the Code; therefore, the trust
             earnings of the Plan are exempt from Federal income taxes.
