                   BARRINGER LABORATORIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     In the opinion of the Company, the unaudited financial statements contain
     all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to
     present fairly the financial position of the Company and its wholly owned
     subsidiary, Barringer Laboratorios de Mexico S.A. de C.V. (BLM) as of
     September 30, 1996 and the results of their operations and their cash flows
     for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.
     The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in the Notes
     to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 1995 audited financial
     statements of Barringer Laboratories, Inc. and Subsidiary included in their
     Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange
     Commission.  The Form 10-KSB should be read in conjunction herewith.

2.   SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

     The Company has entered into an exclusive arrangement with The Nassau
     Group, Inc. of Westport, Connecticut, to provide the Company with financial
     advisory services and investment banking support over the course of the
     next two years.  The Nassau Group will provide assistance in terms of
     evaluating strategic growth and acquisition opportunities, evaluating
     financing alternatives and helping to arrange for the Company's future
     capital needs.  Individuals associated with Nassau have purchased
     approximately 13% of the Company's common stock from other stockholders. 
     In addition to the agreement mentioned above, such individuals were granted
     certain warrants to purchase up to 105,000 shares of the Company's common
     stock at an average price of $1.11 per share.  Such warrants expire May 13,
     2001.  As of November 7, 1996, such warrants have not been exercised.

3.   SEASONALITY

     The business of the Company has been seasonal as a result of cold weather
     restricting the availability of samples to the laboratories in the cold
     winter months.  Therefore, the results of operations for the interim
     periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
     the full year.

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995

Sales of services for the three months ended September 30, 1996 of $2,119,000
represents an increase of $252,000 (13.5%) from the same period in 1995.  The
Environmental Division experienced a decrease of $102,000 (8.0%) primarily as a
result of volume decreases of $102,000 from existing customers due the
uncertainty surrounding the allocation of funds through the government budgeting
process.  Environmental sales for the remaining three months of 1996 will
continue to be below 1995 sales levels due to this uncertainty.  The Mineral
Division experienced an increase of $354,000 (59.7%) over the same period in
1995.  Mineral sales in the United States increased $254,000 (51.9%) over same
period in 1995 due to volume increase in sales of $150,000 from an existing
customer and sales from four new customers, who became customers in the first
quarter of 1996.  Mineral sales in Mexico increased $100,000 (96.2%) due
primarily to an increase in sales of $91,000 from one existing customer and the
addition of two new customers.  Mineral sales for the remaining three months of
1996 should continue to be above 1995 sales levels due to increasing activities
in both the U.S. Mineral market and Mexico Mineral market.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the three months ended September 30,
1996 was 37.7% as compared to 34.9% for the same period in 1995.  This increase
was primarily due to production efficiencies in the Mineral Division as a result
of higher sales and fixed costs allocated over a larger sales base. 
Additionally, this increase was due to lower equipment costs and lower
depreciation costs.

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1996 of $407,000
increased by $71,000 (21.1%) from the same period in 1995 primarily due to
higher selling expenses (payroll and advertising) and higher professional fees. 

Other expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1996 were $10,000
compared to $20,000 for the same period in 1995.  This decrease of $10,000 was
due to lower interest expense and lower other expenses, offset by lower interest
income.

              OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                 (CONTINUED)


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995 (CONTINUED)

For the three months ended September 30, 1996 the Company had income before
income taxes of $382,000 compared to income before income taxes of $295,000 for
the same period in 1995.  This increase of $87,000 (29.5%) was due primarily to
production efficiencies in the Mineral Division, lower equipment costs, lower
depreciation costs, lower interest expense, and other income, offset by higher
operating expenses and lower interest income.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995

Sales of Services for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 of $5,090,000
represents a increase of $134,000 (2.7%) from the same period in 1995.  The
Environmental Division experienced a decrease of $554,000 (16.5%) due to the
loss of one customer's large one-time project, which generated sales of $254,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  Additionally, there were volume
decreases of $300,000 from existing customers due to the uncertainty surrounding
the allocation of funds through the government budgeting process.  Environmental
sales for the remaining three months of 1996 will continue to be below 1995
sales levels due to this uncertainty.  The Mineral Division experienced an
increase of $688,000 (43.1%) due primarily to volume increases in Mexico sales
of $384,000 (118.5%) over the same period in 1995.  This increase was due
primarily to an existing customer's special project, which generated sales of
$92,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1996, volume sales increases of
$243,000 from another existing customer, and the addition of new customers. 
Mineral sales in the United States increased $304,000 (23.9.4%) due to volume
sales increases of $182,000 from one existing customer and the addition of four
new customers.  Mineral sales for the remaining three months of 1996 should
continue to be above 1995 sales levels due to increasing activity in the Mineral
U.S. market and Mineral Mexico market.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 was 32.1% as compared to 30.6% for the same period in 1995.  This increase
is primarily due to production efficiencies in the Mineral Division as a result
of higher sales, lower equipment costs, and lower depreciation costs.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995 (CONTINUED)

Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 of $1,154,000
increased by $129,000 (12.6%) from the same period in 1995 primarily due to
higher selling expenses (payroll, commissions, and advertising) and higher
professional fees.

Other expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were $21,000
compared to $80,000 for the same period in 1995.  This decrease of $59,000
(73.0%) was primarily due to lower interest expense, lower translation losses,
and other income, offset by lower interest income.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1996 the Company had income before
income taxes of $460,000 compared to income before income taxes of $413,000 for
the same period in 1995.  This increase of $47,000 (11.4%) was primarily due to
higher sales, production efficiencies, lower equipment costs, lower
depreciation, lower translation losses, and other income, offset by higher
selling/general and administrative expenses and lower interest income.


CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Cash totaled $646,000 at September 30, 1996, compared with $170,000 at December
31, 1995.  The $476,000 increase in cash resulted from cash provided by
operating activities of $762,000 which was offset by cash used in the purchase
of property and equipment of $170,000 and net cash used in financing activities
of $116,000.

Cash provided by operating activities resulted from the effect of certain 
non-cash reconciling items of $328,000 (primarily depreciation and 
amortization) and an increase in operating assets (primarily trade 
receivables) net of operating liabilities of $26,000, and net income of 
$460,000.

Cash used for the purchase of property and equipment of $170,000 was primarily
related to the acquisition of computer hardware and software to upgrade the
Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS).

                                 (CONTINUED)



CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Cash used in financing activities of $116,000 consisted of $180,000 used to
reduce long-term debt and a decrease in the working line of credit of $84,000,
offset by an increase in long term debt of $148,000.  This increase was related
to the Capitalized Lease debt on the computer hardware and software to upgrade
the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS).

On September 30, 1996, the Company signed a working line of credit with a bank. 
This line of credit bears interest, payable monthly, at a floating rate of prime
plus 1% (9.5% at September 30, 1996) with a minimum yearly charge of $2,500. 
This line of credit replaced a previous working line of credit with a lending
institution.  This previous line of credit had a floating interest rate of prime
plus 10% with a minimum monthly charge of $2,500.  This new line of credit
availability is equal to 80% of the Company's eligible accounts receivable. 
This line of credit is funding the Company's current working capital
requirements and has also been used to guarantee a $150,000 letter of credit
required by the Colorado Department of Health to increase the level of the
Company's Radiochemistry License.  This increase in the license gives the
Company the ability to grow the radiochemistry analytical business.

Management of the Company believes that additional capital is required to fund
the short-term and long-term expansion of its environmental and mineral services
business and to continue to improve overall Company liquidity.  Management is
currently evaluating potential funding sources to obtain additional debt or
equity financing.  Should the receipt of additional funding be delayed, the
continued growth of the Company's business may be negatively impacted.

INFLATION

Inflation was not a material factor in either the sales or the operating
expenses of the Company during the periods presented herein.
