                               KAYDON CORPORATION

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1)      The consolidated condensed financial statements included herein have
         been prepared by Kaydon Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company"),
         without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
         and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures
         normally included in annual financial statements prepared in
         accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
         condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although
         the Company believes that the disclosures made in this document are
         adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  It is
         suggested that these consolidated condensed financial statements be
         read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
         notes thereto in the Company's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(2)      In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
         condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, of a normal
         and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial
         position of the Company as of June 28, 1997 and the results of its
         operations and its cash flows for the six months then ended.  However,
         interim results are not necessarily indicative of results of a full
         year.

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

(4)      On March 11, 1997, the Company purchased the net assets of Gold Star
         Manufacturing, Inc. for $4,412,000.  Gold Star manufactures
         custom-designed cylinders which strengthen and compliment the
         offerings of the Company's Fluid Power Division.  The acquisition has
         been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and,
         accordingly, the results of operations have been included in the first
         quarter consolidated financial statements since the date of
         acquisition.

         On May 29, 1997, the Company purchased the net assets of Great Bend
         Industries for $22,753,000.  Great Bend manufactures a variety of
         custom-engineered hydraulic cylinders including single, double and
         telescopic cylinders used in construction, transportation, waste,
         utility and energy industries.  The acquisition has been accounted for
         using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results
         of operations have been included in the second quarter consolidated
         financial statements since the date of acquisition.


(5)      The Company, together with other companies, certain former officers,
         and certain former directors, has been named as a co-defendant in
         lawsuits filed in federal court in New York in 1993.  The suits
         purport to be class actions on behalf of all persons who have
         unsatisfied personal injury and property damage claims against Keene
         Corporation which filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11.  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.  In 1994, an
         examiner was appointed by a bankruptcy court to examine the issues at
         stake.  On September 23, 1994, the "Preliminary Report of the
         Examiner" was made public.  In the report, the examiner stated that
         the alleged fraudulent conveyance claims against the Company appear to
         be time-barred by the statute of limitations, subject to certain
         possible exceptions which the Company does not believe are significant
         or factual.  Although the examiner has made certain recommendations
         regarding a mechanism to resolve the claims against the Company, the
         Court has not taken any action related to the report.  Nevertheless,
         in the Company's opinion, the report reinforces management's original
         view that the claims will ultimately not be sustained.  Accordingly,
         no provision has been reflected in the consolidated financial
         statements for any alleged damages.  In June 1995, the creditors'
         committee filed a complaint in the same bankruptcy court asserting
         claims against the Company similar to those previously filed.  On June
         12, 1996, the District and Bankruptcy Courts for the Southern District
         of New York entered an order confirming the plan of reorganization for
         Keene Corporation.  As a result, the so-called transactions lawsuit
         was transferred in April 1997 from the Bankruptcy Court for the
         Southern District of New York to the District Court for that district
         and the stay of the transactions lawsuit was lifted. The judge has
         established September 15, 1997 as the date for Kaydon to file papers
         to support any motion to dismiss the complaint or for summary judgment
         based on the statute of limitations.  All motions and supporting
         documents and any rebuttal are to be filed by December 15, 1997 after
         which the judge will study and rule.  Management believes that the
         outcome of this litigation will not have a material adverse effect on
         the Company's financial position.





                                       5

         In June, 1996 the Company received a subpoena issued by the U.S.
         District Court in Bridgeport, Connecticut on behalf of a grand jury
         investigating a May 9, 1996 accident involving a Sikorsky helicopter
         in which four persons died.  The grand jury has requested and received
         documents and records relating to a bearing manufactured by Kaydon and
         used in the Sikorsky helicopter.  In addition, the Defense Logistics
         Agency of the Defense Contract Management Command and a "Mishap Board"
         led by Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation with participation from certain
         Federal agencies alleged that product quality problems or deficiencies
         exist with respect to the bearing product used in the Sikorsky
         helicopter described above.  The Company was excluded from
         participation on this "Mishap Board", however, it independently
         evaluated the available evidence and refuted the "Mishap Board"
         findings in its report submitted to the Navy.  Subsequent incidents
         have occurred in the helicopter fleet even though the bearings used
         were newly manufactured, inspected and approved by Sikorsky personnel,
         reinforcing the Company's position that the bearing quality was not
         the causative action in the May 9, 1996 accident.  During the second
         quarter 1997, the estates of the four deceased individuals filed civil
         suits against the Company.  Management believes it has meritorious
         defenses against any claims.

         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, including the
         Sikorsky matter referred to above, will not have a material adverse
         effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations

Kaydon Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") reported record sales of
$84,454,000 in the second quarter 1997, up 10.9% from $76,131,000 in the second
quarter last year.  Approximately 56% of the increase was contributed by the
Company's base businesses while the remaining 44% was contributed by the recent
acquisitions in the Fluid Power division.  The increase in the base business
was led by both the Bearings division and the Ring & Seal division, while sales
from the European divisions decreased from prior year.  The decrease is
primarily attributable to the slower economy on the European Continent.  The
Company's other divisions remained essentially flat.

Gross profit as a percent of sales increased to 42.1% from 40.4% in the second
quarter of last year.  The increase resulted from increased manufacturing
efficiencies and favorable operating conditions.

Selling and administrative expenses were $10,805,0000, up $628,000 from
$10,177,000 last year.  Although the absolute dollars increased, expenses as a
percent of sales were down to 12.8% from 13.4% in the second quarter last year.
This percentage decrease is primarily attributable to the increase in sales as
actual expenses remained essentially flat year on year.

Net interest income was $884,000, up $310,000 from $574,000 last year.  This
was predominately due to increased cash and securities balances year on year,
and the repayment of all outstanding debt in April 1997.

The effective tax rate of 38.0% was essentially flat with the 38.1% rate in
second quarter 1996.


Six Months 1997 to 1996

Sales for the first six months of 1997 were $160,985,000, an increase of 7.7%
over last year's $149,526,000.  Year to date net earnings were $29,785,000, a
gain of 17.4% over the 1996 earnings of $25,361,000.  Earnings per share were
up 17.6% to $1.80 versus $1.53 last year.

Similar to the Quarter 2 Results of Operations above, gross profit as a percent
of sales for 1997 was 41.8% compared to 39.8% from 1996.  Again, this is
indicative of increased manufacturing efficiencies and favorable operating
conditions.





                                       7
<PAGE>   10

Selling and administrative expenses were $21,082,000 or 13.1% of sales,
essentially flat when compared to the 1996 level of $19,573,000 or 13.1% of
sales.  Net interest income was $1,763,000, up $690,000 from $1,073,000 in 1996
due to both higher cash balances and favorable interest rates.  The effective
tax rate remained essentially flat at 38.0% compared to 38.1% in 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital was $116,834,000 at the end of the second quarter reflecting a
current ratio of 2.8 compared to $119,232,000 at year end with a current ratio
of 2.8.  The decrease in working capital was primarily attributable to the
acquisition of Great Bend Industries and Gold Star Manufacturing.  Cash flow
from operating activities was $11,074,000 compared to $11,046,000 in the
second quarter 1996, reflecting relative increases in accounts receivable and
inventory.

During the quarter the Company paid $8,000,000 for the Industrial Revenue Bonds
of which only $4,000,000 was current.  The election to pay the remaining
$4,000,000 of IRB's leaves the Company free of debt.  Cash and securities of
$58,197,000 are less than the balance of $83,267,000 at year end by
$25,070,000. This reduction  reflects $27,165,000 paid for acquisitions and
$8,000,000 used to pay off the IRB's.

Management expects that the Company's planned capital requirements for the
remainder of 1997, which consist of capital expenditures, dividend payments and
its stock repurchase program will be financed by operations. The Company has
$100,000,000 available under its multi-bank revolving credit agreements that
could be utilized to meet its liquidity needs.


Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standard

In March 1997, SFAS 128, "Earnings per Share" was issued.  This pronouncement
replaces "Primary EPS" with "Basic EPS", which does not include common stock
equivalents or the resulting dilution.  The Statement is effective for
financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997,
however, should the Company have implemented this standard in the present
quarter there would have been no change in the EPS reported.  The Company does
not believe the adoption will have a material effect on its financial
statements.


Recent Acquisitions

On May 29, 1997, the Company purchased the net assets of Great Bend Industries
for $22,753,000.  Great Bend manufactures a variety of custom-engineered
hydraulic cylinders including single, double and telescopic cylinders used in
construction, transportation, waste, utility and energy industries.

Outlook

The Company's backlog of unfilled orders increased once again to $127,139,000
compared to $117,262,000 at year end and $119,421,000 this time last year.  We
are pleased to see the continuing increased activity in our business and
anticipate having a good third quarter and full year 1997.
