“Safe Harbor” Statement under the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995

Certain of the statements contained in this Quarterly Report (other than the financial statements and statements of historical fact), including, without limitation, statements as to management expectations and beliefs presented under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are made based upon management’s expectations and belief concerning future developments and their potential effect upon the Corporation. There can be no assurance that future developments will be in accordance with management’s expectations or that the effect of future developments on the Corporation will be those anticipated by management.

The Corporation wishes to caution readers that the assumptions which form the basis for forward-looking statements with respect to or that may impact earnings for the year ended December 31, 2004 and thereafter include many factors that are beyond the Corporation’s ability to control or estimate precisely. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, changes in US or international economic or political conditions, such as the general level of economic activity, inflation or fluctuations in interest or foreign exchange rates; disruptions in operations due to labor disputes; renegotiation of the Corporation’s Credit Agreement; the impact on production output and costs from the availability of energy sources and related pricing; the market demand and acceptance of the Corporation’s existing and new products; changes in the pricing of the products of the Corporation or its competitors; the impact of competitive products; the costs and other effects of legal and administrative cases and proceedings, settlements and investigations; changes in the market for raw or packaging materials which could impact the Corporation’s manufacturing costs; changes in the product mix; the loss of a significant customer or supplier; production delays or inefficiencies; the ability to achieve anticipated revenue growth, synergies and other cost savings in connection with acquisitions or reorganizations; the costs and other effects of complying with environmental regulatory requirements; and losses due to natural disasters where the Corporation is self-insured.

While the Corporation periodically reassesses material trends and uncertainties affecting the Corporation’s results of operations and financial condition in connection with its preparation of management’s discussion and analysis contained in its quarterly reports, the Corporation does not intend to review or revise any particular forward-looking statement referenced herein in light of future events.

BAIRNCO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

OCTOBER 2, 2004

(Unaudited)

(1)

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of Bairnco Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Bairnco” or the “Corporation”) after the elimination of all material intercompany accounts and transactions.

The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting. Certain financial information and note disclosures which are normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Management believes the financial statements include all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary to present fairly the results of operations for all interim periods presented.

The quarterly financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2003 audited consolidated financial statements. The consolidated results of operations for the quarter and nine month period ended October 2, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year.

(2)

Earnings per Common Share

Earnings per share data is based on net income and not comprehensive income. Computations of earnings per share for the quarters and nine month periods ended October 2, 2004 and October 4, 2003 are included as Exhibit 11.1 and Exhibit 11.2 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share includes the effect of all dilutive stock options and restricted stock shares.

(3)

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income includes net income as well as certain other transactions shown as changes in stockholders’ investment. For the quarters and nine month periods ended October 2, 2004 and October 4, 2003, Bairnco's comprehensive income includes net income plus the change in net asset values of foreign divisions as a result of translating the local currency values of net assets to U.S. dollars at varying exchange rates. Accumulated other comprehensive income consists of foreign currency translation adjustments and minimum pension liability adjustments. There are currently no tax expenses or benefits associated with the foreign currency translation adjustments.

(4)

Acquisitions

Viscor:

On January 10, 2001, Bairnco purchased selected net assets ("Viscor") of Viscor, Inc. The terms of Viscor's asset purchase agreement provide for additional consideration to be paid by Bairnco if Viscor's results of operations exceed certain targeted levels. Such additional consideration will be paid semi-annually in cash and is recorded when earned, by the achievement of certain targeted levels for the preceding six month period, as additional goodwill. The maximum amount of contingent consideration is approximately $4.5 million payable over the 5-year period ended December 31, 2005. The Corporation recorded additional goodwill of $37,000 as a result of contingent consideration earned during the nine month period ended October 2, 2004. The cumulative additional consideration recorded as goodwill is approximately $0.9 million through October 2, 2004.

MOX-Tape^Ò:

On May 23, 2003, Bairnco purchased the MOX-Tape^Ò brand of products, including inventory and related equipment, from Flexfab Horizons International, Inc., (“Flexfab”) of Hastings, Michigan. MOX-Tape^Ò products consist of un-reinforced and reinforced silicone, self-fusing tapes used in a broad range of applications and markets, including high temperature electrical and mechanical insulation for the military, aerospace, automotive, utility and power generation markets. The business has been moved to Arlon’s Bear, Delaware plant. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and was financed through available borrowings under Bairnco’s line of credit and a $400,000, non-interest bearing note payable to Flexfab, payable in $100,000 installments over four years. The note was recorded at a discount, based on average borrowing rates for the Corporation at the time of acquisition. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired based on the fair market value of the assets at the date of acquisition. The purchase price exceeded the fair value of net assets acquired by approximately $0.5 million.

(5)

Inventories

Inventories consisted of the following as of October 2, 2004 and December 31, 2003:

	2004	2003
Raw materials and supplies	$ 4,813,000	$ 5,402,000
Work in process	7,737,000	6,791,000
Finished goods	12,653,000	13,323,000
Total inventories	$ 25,203,000	$ 25,516,000

(6)

Accrued Expenses

Accrued expenses consisted of the following as of October 2, 2004 and December 31, 2003:

	2004	2003
Salaries and wages	$ 2,352,000	$ 1,768,000
Income taxes	1,128,000	241,000
Insurance	3,041,000	2,903,000
Litigation	341,000	1,243,000
Other accrued expenses	4,796,000	4,761,000
Total accrued expenses	$ 11,658,000	$ 10,916,000

Accrued expenses-litigation: The Corporation accrues for the estimated costs to defend existing lawsuits, claims and proceedings where it is probable that it will incur such costs in the future. These non-discounted accruals are management’s best estimate of the most likely cost to defend the litigation based on discussions with counsel. Such estimates are reviewed and evaluated in light of ongoing experiences and expectations. Future estimates could substantially exceed the current best estimates which would have a material impact on the results of operations of the period in which the change in estimate was recorded. Any changes in estimates from this review process are reflected in operations currently.

Accrued expenses-insurance: The Corporation's U.S. insurance programs for general liability, automobile liability, workers compensation and certain employee related health care benefits are effectively self-insured. Claims in excess of self-insurance levels are fully insured. Accrued expenses-insurance represents the estimated costs of known and anticipated claims under these insurance programs. The Corporation provides reserves on reported claims and claims incurred but not reported at each balance sheet date based upon the estimated amount of the probable claim or the amount of the deductible, whichever is lower. Such estimates are reviewed and evaluated in light of emerging claim experience and existing circumstances. Any changes in estimates from this review process are reflected in operations currently.

(7)

Stock Incentive Plan

Stock Options:

The Corporation accounts for stock options under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB No. 25”), under which no compensation expense has been recognized. In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1995. SFAS No. 123 established financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation plans. The statement defines a fair value based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument and encourages all entities to adopt that method of accounting for all of their stock compensation plans. However, it also allows an entity to continue to measure compensation costs for those plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by APB No. 25, but requires pro-forma disclosure of net income and earnings per share for the effects on compensation expense had the accounting guidance for SFAS No. 123 been adopted.

On December 31, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure. SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123 to provide alternative methods of transition to SFAS No. 123’s fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS No. 148 also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 to require disclosure of the effects of an entity’s accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation on reported earnings in interim financial statements. The disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 are applicable to all companies with stock-based employee compensation. SFAS No. 148 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002.

The Corporation adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 as of December 31, 2002. In preparing these disclosures, the Corporation determined the values using the Black Scholes model based on the following assumptions:

	For the Quarter Ended
	October 2, 2004	October 4, 2003
Expected Life	6.4 years	7.1 years
Volatility	28.1%	27.6%
Risk-free interest rate	4.5%	4.5%
Dividend yield	3.27%	3.33%

Had SFAS No. 123 been implemented, the Corporation’s net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the amounts indicated below for the quarters and nine-month periods ended October 2, 2004 and October 4, 2003, respectively:

	Quarter Ended Oct. 2, 2004	Quarter Ended Oct. 4, 2003	Nine Months Ended Oct. 2, 2004	Nine Months Ended Oct. 4, 2003
Net Income, as reported	$ 25,555,000	$ 590,000	$ 27,940,000	$ 2,060,000
Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects	(10,000)	(12,000)	(29,000)	(36,000)
Net Income, pro forma	$ 25,545,000	$ 578,000	$ 27,911,000	$ 2,024,000
Basic Earnings per Share:
As reported	$ 3.47	$ 0.08	$ 3.80	$ 0.28
Pro forma	$ 3.47	$ 0.08	$ 3.79	$ 0.27
Diluted Earnings per Share:
As reported	$ 3.37	$ 0.08	$ 3.71	$ 0.28
Pro forma	$ 3.37	$ 0.08	$ 3.71	$ 0.27

Restricted Stock Award Program:

During the second quarter 2003, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”), approved a restricted stock award program under the Bairnco Corporation 2000 Stock Incentive Plan. The program provides long-term incentive rewards to key members of the senior management team to further ensure their retention as employees and the linkage of their performance to the long-term performance of the Corporation. Under this new program, the Committee granted 133,000 shares of restricted stock to officers and three key senior management members during the second quarter. Under the terms of the restricted stock agreements, each employee must remain employed by the Corporation for a period of 5 years from the date of grant in order for the restricted stock to vest and the restrictions to be lifted. If employment is terminated prior to vesting for any reason other than death, disability or retirement, all restricted stock shall be forfeited immediately and returned to the Corporation.

(8)

Pension Plans

In December 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 132 (revised 2003), Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, and 106. The statement revised employers’ disclosures about pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. It does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans required by SFAS 87, SFAS 88 and SFAS 106. The statement was adopted effective December 15, 2003 and the additional disclosures required by the statement about assets, obligations, cash flows and net periodic benefit costs of defined benefit pension plans were included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Net periodic pension cost for the U.S. plans included the following for the quarters ended October 2, 2004 and October 4, 2003:

	Quarter Ended October 2, 2004	Quarter Ended October 4, 2003	Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004	Nine Months Ended October 4, 2003

Service cost-benefits earned during the year	$ 255,000	$ 216,000	$ 765,000	$ 648,000
Interest cost on projected benefit obligation	597,000	581,000	1,792,000	1,743,000
Expected return on plan assets	(764,000)	(639,000)	(2,292,000)	(1,917,000)
Amortization of net obligation at date of transition	8,000	8,000	24,000	24,000
Amortization of prior service cost	12,000	12,000	37,000	36,000
Amortization of accumulated losses	167,000	158,000	500,000	474,000
Net periodic pension cost	$ 275,000	$ 336,000	$ 826,000	$ 1,008,000

Since November 30, 2003, the discount rate used for measuring the benefit obligation has deteriorated so that the accumulated benefit obligation is now in excess of the market value of assets. Bairnco management will continue to analyze the changes in the market value of the pension assets and the impact of the discount rates on the accumulated benefit obligation through its 2004 measurement date (November 30th), and determine whether or not to make a contribution prior to November 30, 2004.

Contingencies

As discussed in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in the third quarter Bairnco obtained final resolutions of three long-pending lawsuits.

In one of these lawsuits (the “Transactions Lawsuit’), trustees representing asbestos claimants brought claims of over $700 million against Bairnco, its subsidiaries, and other defendants. A judgment in favor of the defendants was affirmed in May 2004 by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Plaintiffs’ time to seek review by the United States Supreme Court of the Court of Appeals’ decision expired in August 2004.

A second lawsuit by these trustees against Bairnco (the “NOL Lawsuit”), involving a dispute over federal income tax refunds that had been held in escrow since the 1990s, was settled in September 2004. Pursuant to a settlement agreement dated September 10, 2004, Bairnco received $24,695,000 (about 70 percent of the escrowed funds), and the NOL Lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice.

The final resolution of the Transactions Lawsuit in favor of Bairnco resulted in the final resolution of a third lawsuit brought by these trustees (the “Properties Lawsuit”), involving a dispute over the title to certain real and personal property. In 2001, when the Properties Lawsuit was dismissed, without prejudice, against Bairnco and its Arlon subsidiary, the parties agreed that this dispute would be determined in accordance with the final resolution of the Transactions Lawsuit.

Bairnco Corporation and its subsidiaries are defendants in a number of other pending actions. Management of Bairnco believes that the disposition of these other actions will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of operations or the financial position of Bairnco and its subsidiaries as of October 2, 2004.

Item 2:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and related notes and with Bairnco's Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Bairnco Corporation is a diversified multinational company that operates two distinct businesses under the names Arlon and Kasco.

Arlon’s two segments are Electronic Materials and Coated Materials which design, manufacture and sell products under the Arlon brand identity to electronic, industrial and commercial markets. Arlon products are based on common technologies in coating, laminating, polymers and dispersion chemistry.

Replacement products and services are manufactured and distributed under the Kasco name principally to retail food stores, meat and deli operations, and meat, poultry and fish processing plants throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. The principal products include replacement band saw blades for cutting meat, fish, wood and metal, and on site maintenance services primarily in the meat and deli departments. In Canada and France, in addition to providing its replacement products, Kasco also sells equipment to the supermarket and food processing industries. These products are sold under a number of brand names including Kasco in the United States and Canada, Atlantic Service in the United Kingdom, and Bertram & Graf and Biro in Continental Europe.

Comparison of Third Quarter 2004 to Third Quarter 2003

Sales in the third quarter 2004 were $40,675,000, an increase of 9.1% from $37,295,000 in 2003. Arlon's Electronic Materials sales were up 17.6% primarily due to strong growth in the industrial and commercial markets. Arlon’s Coated Materials sales were up 2.8% on modest improvements in most of its served markets. Kasco's sales increased 11.9% from the third quarter 2003 from increased service and repair revenues in the U.S., improved European sales and the currency translation effect of the weakened U.S. dollar versus the British Pound and the Euro. Kasco’s European sales increased over 2003 when meat consumption was unfavorably impacted by the hot European summer.

Gross profit increased 11.1% to $11,533,000 from $10,385,000 due to increased sales and improved efficiencies from increased production volumes. The gross profit margin as a percent of sales increased to 28.4% from 27.9%. The third quarter 2004 and 2003 gross profit was reduced by $263,000 and $456,000, respectively, from relocation and closing expenses of the East Providence facility related to the consolidation of Arlon’s industrial engineered coated products businesses.

Selling and administrative expenses increased 8.9% to $10,156,000 from $9,325,000 due to the increased sales. As a percent of sales, selling and administrative expenses were unchanged at 25.0%.

Net interest expense decreased to $149,000 in 2004 as compared to $205,000 in 2003 due primarily to lower average debt outstanding as debt was paid down from strong cash generation from operations as well as the funds received from the contingent asset settlement of the NOL Lawsuit.

The effective tax rate for the third quarter 2004 was 30.0% versus 31.0% for the third quarter 2003. The tax rate in the third quarter has been adjusted down from the 35% booked during the first six months of 2004 to reflect the expected annual effective tax rate for the year. The benefit obtained from the Extraterritorial Income Exclusion (“EIE”), a statutory exclusion from taxable income, will be in effect in 2004 and will now be repealed effective January 1, 2005.

Income from continuing operations increased 45.8% to $860,000 as compared to $590,000 in the third quarter of 2003. Diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations increased to $0.11 from $0.08 as a result of increased earnings. No shares were repurchased on the open market during the third quarter of 2004. Net income for the third quarter 2004 was $25,555,000 reflecting the impact of the $24,695,000 settlement of the NOL Lawsuit. Diluted earnings per share of common stock from the settlement was $3.25 for the quarter ended October 2, 2004.

Comparison of First Nine Months 2004 to First Nine Months 2003

Sales for the first nine months of 2004 increased 8.1% to $124,952,000 from $115,561,000 in 2003 as the majority of Bairnco’s US served markets experienced growth with the improved economy. The currency translation effect of the weakened U.S. dollar versus the British Pound and the Euro also contributed to improved European sales.

Gross profit improved 11.8% to $36,274,000 from $32,444,000 on higher sales and production volumes. The nine months gross profit for 2004 and 2003 was reduced by $1,089,000 and $1,029,000, respectively, from relocation and closing expenses of the East Providence facility related to the consolidation of Arlon’s industrial engineered coated products businesses.

Selling and administrative expenses increased 6.7% to $30,829,000 from $28,881,000 on increased sales.

The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2004 was 33.7% versus 31.0% for 2003.

Income from continuing operations increased 57.5% to $3,245,000 from $2,060,000 and diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations increased 53.6% to $0.43 from $0.28 in 2003. Net income for the first nine months of 2004 was $27,940,000 reflecting the impact of the $24,695,000 settlement of the NOL Lawsuit.

Dividend

The third quarter cash dividend of $0.05 per share was paid on September 24, 2004 to stockholders of record on August 30, 2004.

Credit Agreement

The Corporation has in place a credit agreement that expires in February 2005. It is the Corporation’s intent to structure a new financing agreement prior to the end of 2004. There can be no assurance that the Corporations’ plans will be successfully executed.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At October 2, 2004, Bairnco had working capital of $34.9 million compared to $32.6 million at December 31, 2003. The increase in accounts receivable was due to the increase in sales during the third quarter 2004 compared to the fourth quarter 2003. The decreases in short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt were due to the pay down of all domestic borrowing under the Corporation’s credit agreement as a result of the $24.7 million settlement of the NOL lawsuit.

The Board has authorized management to continue its stock repurchase program subject to market conditions and capital requirements of the business. During the third quarter of 2004 Bairnco repurchased no shares of its common stock on the open market.

At October 2, 2004, Bairnco’s total debt outstanding was $1,621,000 compared to $31,833,000 at the end of 2003. The decrease was due to the pay down of all domestic borrowings under the Corporation’s credit agreement as a result of the $24.7 million settlement of the NOL lawsuit and strong cash generation from operations during the nine months ended October 2, 2004. At October 2, 2004, approximately $45.4 million was available for borrowing under the Corporation's secured reducing revolving credit agreement, as amended (the "Credit Agreement"), which expires in February 2005. In addition, approximately $5.6 million was available under various short-term domestic and foreign uncommitted credit facilities.

Bairnco made $1,540,000 of capital expenditures during the third quarter of 2004. Total capital expenditures for 2004 are expected to approximate $7.0 million.

Cash provided by operating activities plus the amounts available under the existing credit facilities are expected to be sufficient to fulfill Bairnco's anticipated cash requirements in 2004.

Litigation

On September 10, 2004 Bairnco and the Keene Creditors Trust signed an agreement to settle the NOL Lawsuit. The NOL Lawsuit involved a dispute between Bairnco and the Trust over tax refunds that had been held in an escrow account since the mid-1990s. Under the agreement, Bairnco received $24,695,000. These tax refunds which had not previously been included in Bairnco's financial statements and which are not subject to any federal or state income tax, are included as income from spun off subsidiary in the accompanying condensed income statements. Consequently, Bairnco’s stockholders’ investment increased by $24,695,000. The funds were used to repay outstanding debt.

Along with the May 2004 affirmance by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit of the dismissal of the Transactions Lawsuit brought by the Trust against Bairnco, Bairnco's subsidiaries and others, the settlement of the NOL Lawsuit concludes more than a decade of litigation against Bairnco that arose out of transactions with its former subsidiary, Keene Corporation.

Industrial Consolidation

For the third quarter 2004 approximately $292,000 of consolidation and startup expenses were incurred plus $659,000 of capital expenditures were made in connection with the plan for the consolidation of its industrial engineered coated product’s businesses in a new leased facility in San Antonio, Texas. Year to date consolidation and startup expenses were approximately $1,212,000 plus $1,016,000 of capital expenditures in connection with the plan. Total consolidation and startup expenses for 2004 are expected to be $1.4 million. Capital expenditures for 2004 are forecast to be approximately $1.1 million.

Through October 2, 2004, total expected severance costs of $432,000 had been expensed since the first quarter of 2003, with no additional costs expensed during the quarter ended October 2, 2004. The severance costs were charged to cost of sales in the consolidated statement of operations. Accrued severance costs at October 2, 2004 were $44,000. A total of $388,000 in severance costs have been paid, including $110,000 during the quarter ended October 2, 2004.

Business Outlook

The outlook for 2004 is for improved sales and earnings. In the third quarter in addition to the normal seasonal downturn in a number of our served markets, several of the Corporation’s served markets were weaker compared to the growth rates during the first half of 2004.

A stronger fourth quarter is expected compared to both the third quarter this year and the prior year fourth quarter. Consolidation expenses related to the industrial consolidation in San Antonio, Texas, are expected to approximate $170,000 in the fourth quarter 2004 as compared to $737,000 in the fourth quarter last year and $292,000 in the third quarter of this year. The final relocation of equipment from the East Providence facility and installation at the San Antonio facility were completed during the third quarter.

On October 4, 2004, Kasco’s 30 hourly union employees at its manufacturing and distribution facility located in St. Louis, Missouri went on strike. Kasco’s management continues to successfully operate the St. Louis plant while the employees remain on strike.

During the third quarter Arlon Electronic Materials new fabrication center in Suzhou, China, became operational. The center inventories and converts laminates for our customers in China. In addition, initial plans have been approved to open a manufacturing plant which is expected to be in production by the end of 2005.

Continuous improvement programs are ongoing and new product development programs will be maintained to grow our business and meet the needs of our customers.

Bairnco management plans to continue managing all spending and investments prudently to balance the need for short-term profitability and cash generation while supporting the long-term growth of its businesses. Bairnco remains in strong financial condition.

Bairnco management is not aware of any adverse trends that would materially affect the Corporation’s financial position.

Item 3:

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Impact of Interest Rates

The interest on the Corporation’s bank debt is floating and based on prevailing market interest rates. For market rate based debt, interest rate changes generally do not affect the market value of the debt but do impact future interest expense and hence earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors remain unchanged. A theoretical one-percentage point change in market rates in effect on October 2, 2004 would change interest expense and hence change net income of the Corporation by approximately $11,000 per year.

The following table summarizes the principal cash outflows of the Corporation's financial instruments outstanding at October 2, 2004, categorized by type of instrument and by year of maturity. There have been no changes in market risk factors for the quarter ended October 2, 2004.

	2004	2005	2006	2007	2008	Total	Fair Value
Short Term Debt	-	647	-	-	-	647	647
Long Term Debt - Revolving line of credit (interest @ 3.25%)	-	561	-	-	-	561	561
Note Payable	-	100	100	100	-	300	289
Foreign Loan Facility	17	72	35	-	-	124	124

Effect of Inflation

General inflation has had minimal impact on Bairnco's operating results in the last three years. Sales prices and volumes have been more strongly influenced by specific market supply and demand and by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations than by inflationary factors.

Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

The Corporation’s sales denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars were approximately 18.7% and 17.6% of total sales, respectively, for the quarter and nine-month periods ended October 2, 2004. Net assets maintained in a functional currency other than U.S. dollars at October 2, 2004 were approximately 10.0% of total net assets. The translation effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the Corporation's revenues, earnings and net assets maintained in a functional currency other than U.S. dollars has not historically been significant. At October 2, 2004, a 10% weaker U.S. dollar against the currencies of all foreign countries in which the Corporation had operations during the third quarter of 2004, would have increased revenues by $632,000 and $1,926,000, respectively, for the quarter and nine-month period ended October 2, 2004, and increased operating profit by $39,000 and $128,000, respectively for the quarter and nine-month period ended October 2, 2004. A 10% stronger U.S. dollar would have resulted in similar decreases to revenues and operating profit.

Item 4:

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Accounting Officer, or CAO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls or Internal Controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations, we believe that our Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls provide reasonable assurances that the objectives of our control system are met.

Quarterly Evaluation of the Company’s Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls

As of the end of the fiscal quarter ended October 2, 2004, the Corporation carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s management, including the Corporation’s CEO and CAO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CAO concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Corporation (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Corporation’s Exchange Act filings.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended October 2, 2004 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
