Sales
- -----

     Overall sales declined 7% in the first quarter of 1995
compared with the same quarter of 1994.  After eliminating sales
of Gas Turbine units that were disposed of in 1994, sales
declined 1%, as gains at the Kollsman, Precoat Metals and MEG
operations virtually offset declines at Gas Turbine, ARC
propulsion and Sequa Can Machinery.

     Sales of the Aerospace segment declined 15%, as reductions
at the Gas Turbine and ARC propulsion units were only partially
offset by higher sales at Kollsman.  Gas Turbine sales were down
23% (12% after eliminating sales of units disposed of in 1994), 
with declines in all major market areas and a continuation of
severe competitive pricing pressures.  Sales at the Orangeburg
facility were down 6% from the 1994 quarter, as a 46% increase in
repair sales was more than offset by a sharp sustained decline in
OEM sales.  For the fourth consecutive quarter, the input of
parts for repair increased from the preceding quarter at the
Orangeburg facility.  At the ARC propulsion unit, sales were down
10%, primarily as a result of lower revenues on the MLRS rocket
motor program, partially offset by higher sales of propellant and
initiators for automotive airbag inflators.  At the Kollsman
unit, sales were sharply higher as a result of increases in the
night targeting system (NTS) for the Cobra helicopter and higher
sales of cabin telecommunication products for the avionics
market.  The overall advance was tempered by declines in sales of
electro-optical devices for military vehicles and medical
instrumentation products.

     Sales of the Machinery and Metal Coatings segment rose 16%,
as increases at Precoat Metals and MEG were partially offset by a
decline at Sequa Can Machinery.  At the Precoat Metals operation,
sales increased 18% with improvements registered in metal for
building products, can end stock and truck trailer panels.  Sales

Sales  (con't)

of MEG rose sharply from a low 1994 base, and the advance
primarily reflects the timing of deliveries and a 12% favorable
swing in foreign exchange rates.  The outlook for this unit in
1995 continues to depend largely on the successful introduction
of new equipment models, which are being shown in May at a large
trade show in Germany.  Sales of Sequa Can Machinery were lower
than in the 1994 first quarter, due entirely to customer delivery
requirements.  Based on current backlog for 1995 delivery, sales
for the full year are expected to substantially exceed 1994
levels.

     Sales of the Specialty Chemicals segment increased 4%, with
both units contributing to the advance.  At the overseas unit,
sales measured in local currency declined 4%, as a drop in TAED
product sales was partially offset by increased sales of other
chemicals.  However, the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the
British pound more than offset the impact of reduced local
currency sales.  At the domestic unit, sales were up, as price
increases and a favorable sales mix shift more than offset a
small decline in volume.  Sales of specialty polymers and paper
specialties advanced while sales to the  graphics, textile and
export markets registered small declines.

     Sales of the Other Products segment increased 10% in the
first quarter, as advances in the automotive products and can lid
units were partially offset by a decline at Centor, the real
estate company.  At the automotive products unit, all major
product lines recorded increases, with sales of power outlets
registering the largest advance.  At the NCS unit, domestic sales
registered a solid advance, which was tempered by lower export
sales due primarily to the problems in the Mexican economy.  At
Centor, revenues declined 11% primarily as a result of a lower
occupancy rate and lower parking revenues at the unit's major
office building.

Operating Income
- ----------------

     Operating income declined 35% in the first quarter of 1995
compared with the same period of 1994 as the result of a loss at
Gas Turbine.

     The Aerospace segment posted a $0.2 million loss for the
first quarter of 1995, whereas this segment had an operating
profit of $8.0 million in the first quarter of 1994.  The
unfavorable swing was due entirely to Gas Turbine, which had 
been profitable in the 1994 quarter and registered a loss in the
1995 quarter.  The operating income of ARC propulsion recorded a
small advance, and Kollsman profits were up 12%.  The Gas Turbine
unit continues to be affected by lower sales and competitive 


<PAGE>
Operating Income  (con't)
- ----------------

pressures.  In April 1995, Gas Turbine finalized and implemented
a further cost reduction program which will result in a $7.2
million pre-tax charge in the second quarter of 1995.  The charge
reflects the severance and related costs of a 275-person
reduction primarily in the indirect workforce and the closing of
four small factories, whose workloads will be absorbed by other
units.  It is anticipated that this cost reduction action will
generate a net savings in 1995, which will become evident in the
second half of the year.  At the ARC propulsion unit, the
unfavorable effects of reduced military sales were more than
offset by increased profits on airbag inflator products, lower
bid and proposal costs and reduced administrative expenses.  At
Kollsman, operating income increased 12% as the benefits of
higher sales were partially offset by increased selling and
administrative costs.

     Operating income of the Machinery and Metal Coatings
segment rebounded 83% from the 1994 first quarter, with all three
units contributing to the advance.  At the Precoat Metals unit,
the further profit gain derived from increased sales was tempered
by start-up costs, including the cost to qualify products at the
new facility in Jackson, Mississippi.  Sequa Can Machinery's
profits were up sharply from a low 1994 base, primarily due to a
significant improvement in operating efficiencies, cost
reductions implemented in 1994 and improved spare parts sales. 
Profits for the full year are expected to exceed the 1994 level
for this operation.  MEG narrowed its loss as a result of sharply
higher sales in the first quarter of 1995.  Results for the year
at MEG are largely dependent on order input in the second and
third quarters.

     Operating income in the Specialty Chemicals segment
declined 6% from a strong 1994 first quarter.  At the overseas
unit, lower local currency results were offset by a favorable
shift in foreign exchange rates, and reported results were on a
par with the 1994 first quarter.  Reduced earnings in local
currency resulted from both lower sales and an inability to pass
on to customers the full effect of significant increases in raw
material costs.  At the domestic unit, in general, the lag
between rapidly escalating raw materials prices and the increase
of selling prices caused operating income to decline in the first
quarter.

     Operating income of the Other Products segment registered a
solid advance, as the automotive products and the real estate
operations recorded gains and the can lid operation registered a
slight decline.  The automotive products unit primarily
benefitted from the increased sales volume.  At the can lid
operation, an unfavorable sales mix shift led to a small decline
in operating income.  The profitability of the real estate unit
improved, as lower operating expenses more than offset a decline
in revenues.

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Interest Expense
- ----------------

     The decrease in interest expense of approximately $2.0
million was due to a decrease in average borrowings.

Other, Net
- ----------

     In the first quarter of 1995, Other, net includes a $2.0
million gain on the sale of an investment and amortization of
capitalized debt costs in the amount of $0.5 million.  The
Company's unconsolidated airbag business broke even during the
first quarter of 1995.

     In the first quarter of 1994, Other, net includes a $3.2
million mark-to-market loss on interest-rate derivatives, $0.6
million of discount expenses related to the sale of accounts
receivable, a $0.9 million equity loss in the Company's
unconsolidated airbag business and amortization of capitalized
debt costs in the amount of $0.6 million.

Income Tax Provision
- --------------------

     The effective tax rates for the first quarters of 1995 and
1994 were (400%) 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 foreign earnings.

Liquidity
- ---------

     Management anticipates that cash flow from operations,
proceeds from the divestiture of assets, the $95.8 million of
credit available at May 8, 1995 under the revolving credit
agreement, the $35.0 million of available financing under the
Receivables Purchase Agreement, plus cash and cash equivalents on
hand at March 31, 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 March
31, 1995 was $484.0 million ($448.3 million at December 31,
1994).  There is no seasonal variation in the Company's backlog.


<PAGE>
Environmental Liabilities
- -------------------------

     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, 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 $26 million to $52 million. 
At March 31, 1995, the Company's balance sheet includes accruals
for remediation costs of $47.7 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 three months
of 1995 were approximately $2.9 million.

           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 March 31, 1994 Consolidated Statement of
Income includes an accrual for a $1.1 million after-tax
extraordinary loss related to the April 1994 in-substance
defeasance and subsequent redemption of the Company's 10 1/2%
senior subordinated notes and a $3.2 million charge to mark-to-
market the carrying value of interest-rate derivatives.  All
other adjustments in the March 31, 1994 interim period consisted
of normal recurring items.  All adjustments to the March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 1995
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year.

  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
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 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 - LOSS 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 and 9,655,000 shares
for the three month periods in 1995 and 1994, respectively.

  Fully diluted loss per common share calculations for the
assumed conversion of the cumulative convertible preferred stock
were anti-dilutive in the first quarters 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 March 31, 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.

     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 6 - EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K
