                 Report of Independent Auditors

Board of Directors
Barnes Group Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Teledyne Fluid
Systems' Nitrogen Business Unit (the "Company") as of December
31, 1998 and the related statements of income and comprehensive
income and cash flow for the period then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based upon our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Teledyne Fluid Systems' Nitrogen Business Unit at December 31,
1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the period then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Combination

Teledyne Fluid Systems' Nitrogen Business Unit (the Company or
the Nitrogen Business Unit) consists of the Hyson, Kaller and
Stromsholmen facilities of Teledyne Fluid Systems' Division of
Teledyne Industries, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Allegheny
Teledyne Incorporated (Allegheny Teledyne). The Nitrogen Business
Unit has no separate legal existence.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared solely
to comply with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (for inclusion in the Barnes Group Inc.'s current
report on Form 8-k(a).)

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and
related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Sales of nitrogen gas springs are recognized as product sales
when the unit is shipped and title has passed to the customer.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (last-in, first-out;
and first-in, first-out cost methods) or market. Costs include
direct material, direct labor and applicable manufacturing and
engineering overhead, and other direct costs.

Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes includes deferred taxes resulting from
temporary differences in income for financial and tax purposes
using the liability method. Such temporary differences result
primarily from differences in the carrying value of assets and
liabilities.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is presented net of a reserve for doubtful
accounts of $28 at December 31, 1998. The Company markets its
products and services principally throughout the United States,
Europe and Asia. Trade credit is extended based upon evaluation
of each customer's ability to perform its obligations, which are
updated periodically.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. The method of
depreciation adopted for all property placed into service after
June 30, 1996 is the straight-line method. For buildings and
equipment acquired prior to July 1, 1996, depreciation is
computed using a combination of accelerated and straight-line
methods.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company's Stromsholmen entity's accounts are measured using
local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities
are translated at the exchange rate in affect at year-end.
Revenues and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange
prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments arising from
differences in exchange rates from period to period are reflected
in accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholder's
equity.

         Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Income
        for the Periods Ended December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1999

     The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of income includes the pro
     forma adjustments to reflect the acquisition of the Nitrogen Business
     Unit as if it took place on January, 1 1998 and January 1, 1999.

     Note (A)  Adjustment to reflect additional cost related to the write-up
               of Nitrogen Business Unit's inventory to estimated fair market
               value, expensed over one inventory turn.

     Note (B)  Adjustment to reflect additional depreciation expense related
               to the write-up of Nitrogen Business Unit's fixed assets to
               estimated fair market value, depreciated over estimated useful
               lives of 8 years for machinery and equipment and 15 years for
               buildings.

     Note (C)  Adjustment to reflect additional cost related to the write-up
               of Nitrogen Business Unit's trademarks to estimated fair market
               value, amortized over an estimated useful life of 30 years.

     Note (D)  Adjustment to reflect additional interest expense on the
               acquisition related debt.  The interest was calculated on a pro
               forma basis using an average rate of 7.3% on borrowings of
               $89.7 million.  A 1% change in the interest rate would impact
               the interest expense related to the acquisition debt by $0.9
               million per year.

     Note (E)  Adjustment to reflect additional cost related to acquisition
               goodwill amortized over its estimated useful life.

     Note (F)  Adjustment to reflect the tax deductibility of the above
               adjustments on the pro forma statements as well as certain
               foreign tax planning strategies.
