           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 March 31, 1996 and the results 
     of their operations and their cash flows for the three months ended 
     March 31, 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 its Annual Report on 
     Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The 
     Form 10-KSB should be read in conjunction herewith.

2.   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

Sales of services for the three months ended March 31, 1996 of $1,296,000 
represents a decrease of $146,000 (11.2%) from the same period in 1995.  The 
Environmental Division, experienced a decrease of $244,000 (24.5%) primarily 
due to an existing customer's large one-time project which generated sales of 
$198,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995.  Additionally, there were 
volume decreases of $46,000 from other existing customers due to the 
uncertainty surrounding the allocation of funds through the government 
budgeting process.  The Environmental Division's April, 1996 sales were less 
than April, 1995 sales due to this uncertainty.  Management of the Company 
believes this uncertainty is only for a short period until the federal 
government budget is finalized.  The Mineral Division experienced an increase 
of $98,000 (22.0%) due to an increase in Mexico sales of $174,000 over the 
same period in 1995.  This increase was due primarily to an existing 
customer's special project, which generated sales of $92,000 for the three 
months ended March 31, 1996, as well as the addition of new customers.  This 
increase was offset by a decrease of $76,000 (19.9%) in Mineral sales in the 
United States caused by the severe wet weather in the Sierra Mountains of 
Nevada.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the three months ended March 31, 
1996 was 22.0% as compared to 25.0% for the same period in 1995.  This 
decrease was due to production inefficiencies in the Environmental Division 
lab caused by lower sales and fixed costs allocated over a smaller sales base.

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1996 of $362,000 
increased by $12,000 (3.4%) from the same period in 1995 primarily due to 
higher selling payroll expenses and higher professional fees.

Other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1996 were $9,000 compared 
to $8,000 for the same period in 1995.  This increase of $1,000 was primarily 
due to lower interest income, offset by lower interest expense and other 
income.

For the three months ended March 31, 1996 the Company incurred a loss of 
$86,000 compared to income of $3,000 for the same period in 1995.  This 
decrease of $89,000 was primarily due to volume decreases in sales and 
production inefficiencies in the Environmental Division, higher 
selling/general administration expenses, and lower interest income offset by 
lower interest expenses.

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



CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Cash totaled $359,000 at March 31, 1996, compared with $170,000 at December 
31, 1995.  The $189,000 increase in cash resulted from cash provided by 
operating activities of $299,000 which was offset by cash used for the 
purchase of property and equipment of $109,000 and net cash used in financing 
activities of $1,000.

Cash provided by operating activities resulted from the effect of certain 
non-cash reconciling items of $125,000 (primarily depreciation and 
amortization) and a decrease in operating assets (primarily trade 
receivables) net of operating liabilities of $260,000, offset by the net loss 
of $86,000.

Cash used for the purchase of property and equipment of $109,000 was related 
to the acquisition of computer hardware and software to upgrade the 
Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS).

Cash used in financing activities of $1,000 consisted of $65,000 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.

The Company has a working line of credit from a lending institution.  This 
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 expansion of its environmental and mineral services business and 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.
