Sales and Revenues
------------------
     Overall sales declined 4% in the first six months of 1995
and 1% in the second quarter.  Excluding sales of Gas Turbine
units that were sold, sales for both 1995 periods improved 2%
over both prior year periods.

     Sales of the Aerospace segment declined 11% and 7% in the
six- and three-month periods, respectively (2% for both periods
after excluding sales of Gas Turbine units sold).  At the Gas
Turbine subsidiary sales declined 16% for the six months and 8%
for the second quarter (4% and 1%, respectively, exclusive of
units sold).  Both periods continued to be unfavorably affected
by intense competition and severe pricing pressure in the markets
for jet engine components.  The ARC propulsion unit recorded
moderately lower sales in both 1995 periods, as declines in three
rocket motor programs (MLRS, ATACMS and Stinger) were not fully
offset by increases in a fourth rocket motor program (MK104
Standard Missile) and higher sales of airbag components. 
Kollsman's sales increased 12% for the six months but declined 5%
in the second quarter.  The advance for the six months reflects a
sharp increase in commercial avionics, as well as advances in
both the night targeting system (NTS) for the Cobra Helicopter
and troop simulation training units.  For the three months, the
sharp advance in avionics and the increase in troop simulation
training units was more than offset by declines in the electro-
optics products area.

     Sales of the Machinery and Metal Coatings segment increased
18% and 19% in the six- and three-month periods, respectively. 
The Precoat Metals division recorded solid gains in both periods. 
Continued improvement in the building products market, as well as
strong first-quarter gains in the container market, were the
primary reasons for the advances.  Can Machinery sales were 10%
lower for the six months and on a par with the year-earlier
second quarter due to the timing of deliveries to customers. 
Based on current backlog, sales for the full year are expected to
exceed the 1994 level.  MEG's sales rose sharply in both 1995
periods from prior year levels, due to both increased equipment
deliveries and a favorable swing in foreign exchange rates.

     Sales of the Specialty Chemicals segment increased 2% for
the six months and were on a par with the 1994 second quarter. 
At the overseas unit, sales measured in local currency were lower
in both 1995 periods, as a decline in detergent product sales was
partially offset by increased sales of other specialty chemicals. 
However, sales reported in US dollars were equal to the 1994 six-
month figures, and only 2% lower for the second quarter.  The
reported results reflect a favorable currency rate movement in
1995.  At the domestic unit, sales increased in both 1995
periods, as price increases and a favorable sales mix shift more

Sales and Revenues (con't)
------------------
than offset a small volume decline.  For both the six months and
the second quarter, sales were up in virtually all product lines,
with only textile chemicals registering some softness throughout
the first half.

     Sales of the Other Products segment increased 2% for the six
months but declined 5% in the second quarter.  Sales of the
automotive products unit increased 5% for the six months and
declined 5% in the second quarter.  This primarily reflects the
impact of changes in North American production of cars and
trucks, as well as shifts in the types of vehicles sold by the
big three US automobile manufacturers.  Sales of power outlets
were stronger in both periods due to increased market
penetration.  At the NCS unit, six-month sales were on a par with
1994, as strong first quarter domestic sales offset a decline in
export sales primarily related to the difficulties of the Mexican
economy.  In the second quarter, sales declined 5%, as a major
domestic customer reduced its overstocked inventory condition. 
At Centor, the real estate unit, revenues declined approximately
10% in both periods, primarily due to a lower occupancy rate and
lower parking revenues at its office building in Clayton,
Missouri.

Operating Income
----------------
     Overall operating income declined 35% in the six months of
1995 and 36% in the second quarter.

     The Aerospace segment recorded a loss for the six months of
1995, whereas this segment had registered a small profit in the
same period of 1994.  The segment recorded losses in the second
quarter of both 1995 and 1994.  The Gas Turbine subsidiary
recorded increased losses in both 1995 periods, primarily as a
result of continued intense competitive pressures in the repair
markets and a drop in profits from units serving the OEM business
markets.  Both ARC Propulsion and Kollsman had operating income
in all periods reported.

     In both 1995 and 1994, Gas Turbine's results included
unusual charges.  In April 1995, Gas Turbine finalized and
implemented a further cost reduction program, which resulted in a
$7.2 million charge to operating income in the second quarter. 
The charge reflects the severance and related costs of a 275-
person reduction in the indirect workforce, and the closing of
four small factories, whose workloads are being absorbed by other
units.  In 1994, both the six months and second quarter included
unusual one-time charges totalling $10.3 million.

     At the ARC propulsion unit, profits declined in both 1995
periods.  For the six months the impact of lower revenues was
only partially offset by lower administrative costs.  For the 


<PAGE>
Operating Income (con't)
----------------
second quarter, the impact of lower sales and higher bid and
proposal costs was partially offset by the benefit of an improved
sales mix.  Kollsman's profits increased sharply in both periods. 
Year-to-date results benefitted from increased sales, while both
periods benefitted from an improved sales mix, as more profitable
commercial business replaced lower margined electro-optics sales,
and from recoveries on customer accounts previously reserved.

     Operating income in the Machinery and Metal Coatings segment
increased 39% in the six months and 18% in the second quarter. 
For the six months, all three operating units in the segment
contributed to the improvement.  In the second quarter, the metal
coatings and can machinery operations advanced, while the
auxiliary press equipment unit incurred a loss equal to the 1994
second quarter.  At the metal coatings unit, the improvements in
both periods were primarily related to higher sales partially
offset by additional expenses related to the start-up of the new
facility in Jackson, Mississippi.  Profits in the can machinery
operations were up sharply from a low 1994 base, primarily due to
significant improvements in operating efficiencies and cost
reductions implemented in 1994.  For the six months, the
auxiliary press equipment unit narrowed its loss.  The benefits
of improved sales were partially offset by sharply higher selling
expenses (due to the cost of our participation in a major trade
show in Europe) and increased manufacturing, research and
development, and warranty expenses.  For the second quarter, the
loss was equivalent to the same period of 1994, as the benefit of
increased sales was fully offset by these expenses.

     Operating income in the Specialty Chemicals segment declined
8% and 10% in the six- and three-month periods, respectively.  At
the overseas unit, lower local currency results were largely
offset by a favorable shift in foreign exchange rates.  Reduced
local currency results primarily resulted from lower sales and an
inability to pass on to customers the full effect of significant
increases in raw material costs partially offset by lower selling
and administrative costs.  At the domestic unit, the lag between
rapidly escalating raw materials prices and the increase in
selling prices led to a significant decline in gross margin. 
This decline, together with increased selling and administrative
expenses, resulted in sharply lower profits in both periods.

     Operating income in the Other Products segment declined 10%
and 39% in the six - and three-month periods, respectively.  At
the automotive products unit, profits were down sharply in the
second quarter as a result of the decrease in sales.  A solid
advance in first quarter profits at this unit tempered the effect
of the second quarter decline and resulted in a modest year-to-
date profit reduction.  The can lid unit recorded a small profit
in each of the six month periods, and a small loss in the 1995 


<PAGE>
Operating Income (con't)
----------------
second quarter compared with a small profit in the 1994 quarter. 
At current sales levels, this unit operates at close to break
even.  For the six months, Centor profits showed a small
improvement as lower expenses more than offset a decline in
rental income.  In the second quarter the decrease in operating
expenses was not sufficient to offset the reduction in rental
income, and a small decline in profit resulted.

Interest Expense
----------------
     The decrease in interest expense of $2.9 million during the
1995 six-month period and $0.9 million in the second quarter of
1995 was due to a decrease in average borrowings.

Other, Net
----------
     Other, net includes gains on the sale of an investment of
$2.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, during the six-month
and three-month periods of 1995.  Other, net also includes $1.1
million and $1.3 million of charges for the amortization of
capitalized debt costs in the six-month periods of 1995 and 1994,
respectively, and $0.6 million in the three-month periods of 1995
and 1994.  The Company recorded equity losses in its non-
consolidated airbag business of $0.8 million and $1.5 million in
the six-month periods of 1995 and 1994, respectively, and $0.7
million and $0.6 million in the three-month periods of 1995 and
1994, respectively.  The 1995 results reflect the effect of
start-up costs at a separate airbag unit in Italy.  During the
six-month period of 1994, Other, net includes a $2.7 million
mark-to-market loss on interest rate derivatives.  This charge
included a $0.5 million favorable adjustment during the second
quarter of 1994.  Other, net also includes discount expenses of
$1.3 million during the first six months of 1994 and $0.7 million
during the second quarter of 1994 related to the sale of accounts
receivable.

Income Tax Provision
--------------------
     The Company revises its effective tax rate quarterly, if
necessary, to reflect the best current estimate of its annual
effective tax rate.  The effective tax rates for the six-month
periods of 1995 and 1994 were (16%) and 51%, respectively. 
These effective tax rates were based upon estimated annual pre-
tax foreign earnings and estimated annual pre-tax domestic
losses adjusted for goodwill amortization.  The effective rates
also reflect the effect of a provision for state income and
franchise taxes, and the favorable tax treatment of earnings of
the Company's foreign sales corporation.  Separate domestic and
foreign estimated annual effective tax rates were determined
and applied separately to actual domestic losses and actual 


<PAGE>
Income Tax Provision  (con't)
--------------------
foreign earnings.  The tax benefit for the second quarters of
1995 and 1994 represent the difference between the year-to-date
tax (provision) benefits recorded as of June 30, 1995 and 1994
and the amounts reported for the first quarters of 1995 and
1994.

Liquidity
---------
     In July 1995, the Company purchased two coil coating
operations from Enamel Products and Plating Co. (EP&P).  This
transaction was primarily financed by the sale of $40.0 million
of accounts receivable under the Company's Receivables Purchase
Agreement.  In addition, the Company entered into an operating
lease with a financial institution for the rental of a metal
coating line located at one of the EP&P facilities.

     Management anticipates that cash flow from operations,
proceeds from the divestiture of assets, the $95.8 million of
credit available at August 4, 1995 under the revolving credit
agreement, the $5.0 million of available financing under the
Receivables Purchase Agreement, plus cash and cash equivalents
on hand at June 30, 1995 will be more than sufficient to fund
the Company's operations for the foreseeable future.

Backlog
-------
     The businesses of Sequa for which backlogs are significant
are the Kollsman division, the Turbine Airfoils, Caval Tool and
Castings units of Gas Turbine, and the ARC Propulsion
operations of the Aerospace segment, and the Can Machinery, MEG
and Precoat Metals operations of the Machinery and Metal
Coatings segment.  The aggregate dollar amount of backlog in
these segments at June 30, 1995 was $539.0 million ($448.3
million at December 31, 1994).  There is no seasonal variation
in the Company's backlog.

Environmental Matters
---------------------
     The Company's environmental department, under senior
management direction, manages all activities related to the
Company's involvement in environmental clean-up.  This
department establishes the projected range of expenditures for
individual sites with respect to which the Company may be
considered a potentially responsible party under applicable
federal or state law.  These projected expenditures, which are
reviewed periodically, include: remedial investigation and
feasibility studies; outside legal, consulting and remediation
project management fees; the projected cost of remediation
activities; site closure and post-remediation monitoring costs. 
The assessments take into account currently available facts,

Environmental Matters (con't)
---------------------
existing technology, presently enacted laws, past expenditures,
and other potentially responsible parties and their probable
level of involvement.  Outside technical, scientific and legal
consulting services are used to support management's
assessments of costs at significant individual sites.

     It is the Company's policy to accrue environmental
remediation costs for identified sites when it is probable that
a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be
reasonably estimated.  The potential exposure for such costs is
estimated to range from $24 million to $50 million.  At June
30, 1995, the Company's balance sheet includes accruals for
remediation costs of $46.9 million.  These accruals are at
undiscounted amounts and are primarily included in accrued
expenses and other long-term liabilities.  While the
possibility of recovery of some of the costs from insurance
companies exists, the Company does not recognize these
recoveries in its financial statements until they are realized. 
Actual costs to be incurred at identified sites in future
periods may vary from the estimates, given inherent
uncertainties in evaluating environmental exposures.

     With respect to all known environmental liabilities, it is
currently estimated that the Company will spend in the range of
$8 million to $12 million during each of the following several
years.  Actual remedial expenditures for the first six months
of 1995 were approximately $4.8 million.

               SEQUA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The consolidated financial statements of Sequa Corporation
(the "Company") include the accounts of all majority-owned
subsidiaries including those of Sequa Receivables Corp. ("SRC"),
a special purpose corporation formed for the sale of eligible
receivables.  Under the terms of the receivables purchase
agreement, SRC's assets will be available to satisfy its
obligations to its creditors, which have security interests in
certain of SRC's assets, prior to any distribution to the
Company.

     The consolidated financial statements included herein have
been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. 
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments
necessary to fairly present the Company's results for the interim
periods presented.  The Consolidated Statement of Income for the
six months ended June 30, 1995 includes a $6.0 million accrual
for the unexpected loss of a lawsuit, a $4.3 million charge to
correct an accounting irregularity, a $2.7 million charge to mark
to market the carrying value of interest-rate derivatives and a
$1.1 million after-tax extraordinary loss related to the
redemption of the Company's 10 1/2% senior subordinated notes. 
All other adjustments in the June 30, 1994 interim period
consisted of normal recurring items.  With the exception of a
$7.3 million charge recorded by Gas Turbine during the second
quarter of 1995 for severance and plant closings, all adjustments
to the June 30, 1995 interim period consisted of normal recurring
items.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in 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 are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading.  It is suggested that these
condensed consolidated financial statements be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The
results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1995 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year.

<FN>
     Debt of discontinued operations represents the principal
amount of the $25.0 million in proceeds received from the non-
recourse securitization of Sequa Capital's leveraged lease
portfolio in March of 1994.  The leveraged lease cash flow stream
will service the payment of interest and principal until the loan
is paid off.  To the extent that the leveraged lease cash flow
</TABLE>



<PAGE>
NOTE 3 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS  (con't)

stream during the next several years is less than the amount
necessary to service the debt, the principal amount of the loan
will increase.  Subsequent to the payment of the secured
indebtedness, the remaining investment in leveraged leases will
be liquidated over time as rentals are received and residual
values are realized.  Disposal activities are ongoing for other
discontinued assets.


NOTE 4 - LOSSES PER SHARE

 Primary losses per common share in 1995 and 1994 were computed
by dividing net losses, after deducting dividend requirements on
cumulative convertible preferred stock, by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods. 
These computations were based on 9,867,000 shares for the six and
three month periods in 1995 and 9,655,000 shares for the six and
three month periods in 1994.

     Fully diluted losses per common share calculations for the
assumed conversion of the cumulative convertible preferred stock
were anti-dilutive in both the six-month and three-month periods
of 1995 and 1994.

                   PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
         -----------------
     Sequa is involved in a number of claims, lawsuits and
proceedings (environmental and otherwise) which arose in the
ordinary course of business.  Other litigation is pending against
Sequa involving allegations that are not routine and include, in
certain cases, compensatory and punitive damage claims.  Included
in this other class of litigation is an arbitration proceeding
that was formally commenced in 1992 to resolve a dispute between
the Egyptian Air Force and Chromalloy Gas Turbine.  In 1994, the
arbitral tribunal issued an award of $16.3 million plus interest
in favor of Chromalloy Gas Turbine.  At June 30, 1995, the
Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet includes net assets of
approximately $17.5 million related to this issue.  Chromalloy
has filed a petition in the US District Court for the District of
Columbia to confirm and enforce the award, and the Egyptian Air
Force has filed a challenge to this award in the Court of Appeal
of Cairo.

     On July 11, 1995, United Technologies Corporation, through
its Pratt & Whitney division, commenced an action against Sequa's
subsidiary, Chromalloy Gas Turbine Corporation, in the United
States District Court for the District of Delaware.  The
complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages (including treble
and punitive damages with respect to certain claims) and
injunctive relief based upon alleged breaches of certain license
agreements, alleged infringement of patents and misuse of other
Pratt & Whitney intellectual and intangible property.  This
lawsuit is in its preliminary stage and, accordingly, management
cannot make an evaluation of the likely outcome at this time. 
Management intends to vigorously defend all claims, which it
regards as substantially lacking in merit, and is considering
instituting certain claims against United Technologies.

     The ultimate legal and financial liability of the Company in
respect to all claims, lawsuits and proceedings referred to above
cannot be estimated with any certainty.  However, in the opinion
of management, based on its examination of such matters, its
experience to date and discussions with counsel, the ultimate
outcome of these contingencies, net of liabilities already
accrued in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet, is not
expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's
Consolidated financial position, although the resolution in any
reporting period of one or more matters could have a significant
impact on the Company's results of operations for that period.

ITEM 4 - SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

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