PART I



Item 1.	BUSINESS





a.	Recent Developments and Description



Bairnco Corporation was incorporated under the laws of the State of New York on April 9, 1981. Effective September 24, 1991, Bairnco Corporation changed its state of incorporation from New York to Delaware.  Unless otherwise indicated
herein, the terms "Bairnco" and the "Corporation" refer to Bairnco Corporation and its subsidiaries.



Bairnco's two core businesses are Arlon's Engineered Materials and Components, and Kasco's Replacement Products and Services.  In February of 2000 Bairnco purchased certain assets of the materials business ("Signtech") of
Signtech USA, Ltd., a manufacturer of laminated vinyl fabrics designated for use in the commercial graphics market.



In January 2001, Bairnco purchased selected net assets of Viscor Inc ("Viscor").  Viscor's engineered coated products include transfer adhesives, single and double-coated foam and film tapes, and other custom coated products.



The acquisitions complement Arlon's graphic and industrial products with product line extensions, additional brand recognition, and penetration into new customer segments and markets.  The acquisitions also expanded Arlon's coating and
converting capacity.



At December 31, 2000, Bairnco employed 926 persons including 16 headquarters personnel. Bairnco's operations occupy approximately 771,000 square feet of factory and office space at its principal locations.  There is an additional
54,000 square feet of leased space used as field warehouses throughout North America.





b. & c. Financial Information About Industry Segments

and Narrative Description of Business



Bairnco Corporation is a diversified multinational company that operates two business sectors. Engineered materials and components are designed, manufactured and sold under the Arlon brand identity to electronic, industrial and
commercial markets.  These products are based on common technologies in coating, laminating, polymers and dispersion chemistry.  Replacement products and services are manufactured and distributed under the Kasco brand identity principally to supermarkets,

Financial data and other information about the Corporation's segments is set forth in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 28 through 30 and on pages 4 through 7 of Bairnco's 2000 Annual Report to Stockholders which
is incorporated herein by reference.  This information should be read in conjunction with the "Financial History" set forth on page 9 of Bairnco's 2000 Annual Report to Stockholders, and "Management's Discussion and Analysis" set forth on pages 10 through
12 of Bairnco's 2000 Annual Report to Stockholders, which is incorporated herein by reference.



The principal facilities utilized by each segment are detailed on page 10 under "Item 2. PROPERTIES" of this filing.





ENGINEERED MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS (ARLON)



Description of Business



Engineered materials and components are designed, manufactured and sold under the Arlon brand identity.  These products are based on common technologies in coating, laminating, polymer and dispersion chemistry.  Arlon's principal
products include high performance materials for the printed circuit board industry, adhesive coated cast and calendered vinyl films, custom-engineered laminates, and calendered and extruded silicone rubber insulation products used in a broad range of
industrial, consumer and commercial products.



Arlon Materials for Electronics has an international reputation as the premier supplier of high technology materials for the printed circuit board industry.  These products are marketed principally to printed circuit board
manufacturers and OEM's by Technical sales and Service Representatives in the US, and through distributors and manufacturers representatives in Europe, the Far East, and South America, supported by direct Technical Sales Specialists in Europe and Asia.
Our Electronic Substrates product line includes high temperature, high performance thermoset laminates and prepreg bonding plies used in circuit boards for sophisticated commercial applications  and military electronics. These applications require
materials that are highly reliable, withstand continuous high or widely varying operating temperatures, provide ease of field repairability, or improve board fabrication yields. Intermediate temperature laminates, which provide improved product
reliability and ease of manufacture at a lower cost, are also key to the line.  The Microwave Materials product line offers application matched, reinforced PTFE and other resin based laminates providing high yields and high performance for low signal-loss
and frequency-dependent microwave applications.  The applications for this product line include microwave antennas, digital cordless telephones, cellular phone handsets, cellular phone base stations, direct broadcast satellite TV systems, personal
communications networks, global positioning satellites, local area networks, collision avoidance systems, and radar detection systems.



Arlon specialty graphic films are marketed under the Calon(R)
brand name and include cast and calendered vinyl films that are manufactured in a wide variety of colors, face stocks and adhesive systems.  These vinyl films are used in commercial and electrical signage, point of purchase displays, highway signage,
fleet markings, and other commercial advertising applications.  In February of 2000, Bairnco announced it had purchased certain assets of the materials business ("Signtech") of Signtech USA, Ltd., a manufacturer of laminated vinyl fabrics
designated for use in the commercial graphics market.  Signtech's product lines complement Arlon's current vinyl product lines, and will provide product line extensions, additional brand recognition, product development synergies, and penetration into new
customer segments and markets.



Custom engineered laminates and coated products are also manufactured and marketed under the Arlon brand identity.  Typical applications include insulating foam tapes for thermopane windows, specialty flexible circuit materials,
electrical insulation materials for motors and transformers, thermal insulation panels for appliances and cars, identification cards and labels, durable printing stock, and other custom engineered laminates for specific industrial applications.



Arlon also manufactures a line of silicone rubber materials, used in a broad range of consumer, industrial and commercial products.  Typical applications and products include silicone sheet rubber for producing composite parts,
silicone rubber insulating tapes for electric traction motor coil windings, insulation for industrial and commercial flexible heaters, silicone products for high temperature hose and duct markets, insulating tape for medium and high voltage electrical
splices and terminations, as well as compliant, thermally or electrically conductive silicone sheet adhesives known as ThermabondTM.



Competition



Arlon has numerous competitors ranging in size from small, sole proprietorships to units of very large, multinational corporations that in certain instances have far greater market positions and financial resources than the Corporation.



The principal method of competition for Arlon's products varies by product line and type of customer.  While competition for established lines is usually based on one or more of lead time, price, product performance, or technical
support and customer service, it may also be based on the ability to service emerging technologies through the custom design of new products, or redesign of existing products, and materials for the new applications.  As an example, for some high
performance materials sold to the printed circuit board industry, the consistent technical performance of the materials supplied in excess of minimum specified standards can be the critical competitive element.  In addition, Arlon sells a significant
portion of its circuit board materials into the Far Eastern and European markets where local producers of similar materials have a competitive advantage related to their geographic location.



Distribution



Arlon products are marketed by company sales personnel, outside sales representatives and distributors in the North and South America, Europe, the Far East and several other international markets.



Raw Materials and Purchased Parts



The essential raw materials used in Arlon engineered materials and components are silicone rubber, fiberglass cloth, pigments, steel and aluminum parts, copper foil, aluminum foil, polyethylene foam and various plastic films, special
papers and release liners, vinyl resins, various adhesives and solvents, TeflonTM or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) resin, polyimide resin, epoxy resins, other thermoset resins, and various chemicals.  Generally, these materials are each available from several qualified suppliers.  There are, however,
several raw materials used in Arlon's products that are purchased from chemical companies and are proprietary in nature.  Other raw materials are purchased from a single approved vendor on a "sole source" basis although alternative sources could be
developed in the future if necessary.  However, the qualification procedure can take up to several months and could therefore interrupt production if the primary raw material source was lost unexpectedly.



Due to the number and diversity of Arlon's products it is unlikely that availability problems with any one raw material would have a material adverse effect on Arlon. There are no known limitations to the continued availability of
Arlon's raw materials. Current suppliers are located in the United States, Japan, Europe and Brazil.



Employees



As of December 31, 2000, approximately 623 employees were employed by the operations that constitute Arlon's engineered materials and components.





Patents and Trademarks



The Corporation owns several registered trademarks under which certain Arlon products are sold. The Corporation does not believe that the loss of any or all of these trademarks would have a material adverse effect on this segment.







REPLACEMENT PRODUCTS AND SERVICES (KASCO)



Description of Business



Replacement products and services are manufactured and distributed under the Kasco brand identity principally to the meat, deli and seafood departments of supermarkets; to meat, poultry and fish processing plants; and to
manufacturers and distributors of electrical saws and cutting equipment throughout the United States, Canada and Europe.  These products and services include band saw blades for cutting meat and fish, saw blades for cutting wood and metal, grinder plates
and knives for grinding meat, electrical saws and cutting machines, seasoning products, preventive maintenance for equipment in meat and deli operations, and other related butcher supply products.



Replacement products and services are sold under a number of brand names including Kasco in the United States and Canada, Atlantic Service in the United Kingdom and Canada, and Bertram & Graf and Biro France and Eurokasco in
Continental Europe.



Competition and Marketing



Kasco competes with several large and medium-sized national and regional companies, as well as numerous small local companies.  The principal methods of competition are price, service and product performance.  The performance of meat
band saw blades and grinder plate and knives used in cutting meat or other food items is balanced between minimizing waste and maximizing the efficiency and productivity of the band saw machine or grinder, and operator.



Kasco has a significant distribution network that reaches over 20,000 retail grocery stores, restaurants, delis, and processing plants in the US, Canada, Europe, Latin America and Asia.  Kasco's distribution network is made up of
direct salesmen, Territory Managers and Distributors who have in-depth knowledge of the local markets and the customer's needs.  Kasco has an extensive training program for its Territory Managers.



During 2000 in the US market, Kasco experienced intense competitive pressures as the segment of the retail grocery market that Kasco services contracted through a combination of retail consolidations and the industry's move to
Case-Ready product offerings.  Kasco's European business units had earnings unfavorably impacted by the strengthening of the US dollar versus the Euro and the reduced meat consumption from the resurgent BSE ("mad cow") disease.  Kasco began making changes
to its structure during the second and third quarters of 2000 in order to reduce costs and it continues to reengineer its business to meet the changes in its market place.





Raw Materials and Purchased Supplies



High quality carbon steel is the principal raw material used in the manufacture of band saw blades and is purchased from multiple domestic and international suppliers.  Tool steel is utilized in manufacturing meat grinder plates and
knives and is purchased from qualified suppliers located in the United States, Europe and Japan. Equipment, replacement parts and supplies are purchased from a number of manufacturers and distributors, mostly in the United States and Europe.  In France,
certain specialty equipment and other items used in the supermarket industry and in the food processing industry are purchased and resold under exclusive distributorship agreements with the equipment manufacturers. All of the raw materials and purchased
products utilized by this segment have been readily available throughout this last year.



Employees



As of December 31, 2000, approximately 287 persons were employed in the replacement products and services segment.



Patents and Trademarks



The Corporation has a number of United States and foreign mechanical patents related to several of the products manufactured and sold by Kasco, as well as a number of design patents and registered trademarks.  The Corporation does not
believe, however, that the loss of any or all of those patents would have a material adverse effect on this segment.







d.  Foreign Operations



The Corporation has foreign operations located in Canada, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany.  Information on the Corporation's operations by geographical area for the last three fiscal years is set forth in Note 9 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 28 through 30 of Bairnco's 2000 Annual Report to Stockholders which is incorporated herein by reference.



In addition, export sales from the Corporation's US based operations for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 were $49,904,000, $39,291,000, and $30,554,000, respectively. Export sales to any particular country or
geographic area did not exceed 10% of consolidated sales during any of these years.

Item 3. 	LEGAL PROCEEDINGS







Keene was spun off in 1990, filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in 1993, and emerged from Chapter 11 pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved in 1996 (the "Keene Plan"). The Keene Plan provided for
the creation of the KCT, and transferred the authority to prosecute the Transactions Lawsuit from the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Keene (which initiated the lawsuit in the Bankruptcy Court in 1995) to the KCT.  The Keene Plan further
provided that only the KCT, and no other entity, can sue Bairnco in connection with the claims in the Transactions Lawsuit complaint.  Therefore, although a number of other asbestos-related personal injury and property damage cases against Bairnco
nominally remain pending in courts around the country, it is expected that the resolution of the Transactions Lawsuit in substance will resolve all such claims.



Bairnco also is the defendant in a separate action by the KCT (the "NOL Lawsuit"), also pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, in which the KCT seeks the exclusive benefit of tax
refunds attributable to the carryback by Keene of certain net operating losses ("NOL Refunds"), notwithstanding certain provisions of applicable tax sharing agreements between Keene and Bairnco. (As with the Transactions Lawsuit, the NOL Lawsuit
was commenced during Keene's Chapter 11 case and, pursuant to the Keene Plan, the KCT became the plaintiff in the lawsuit and the lawsuit was moved from the Bankruptcy Court to the District Court.)  Pending resolution of the NOL Lawsuit, any refunds
actually received are to be placed in escrow.  Through December 31, 2000, approximately $28.5 million of NOL Refunds had been received and placed in escrow.  There can be no assurance whatsoever that resolution of the NOL Lawsuit will result in the
release of any portion of the NOL Refunds to Bairnco.



Bairnco and its Arlon subsidiary ("Arlon") also are among the defendants in a third action by the KCT (the "Properties Lawsuit"), commenced December 8, 1998 and pending in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York.  In the Properties Lawsuit complaint, the KCT seeks a declaratory judgment that it owns certain patents and real property purchased by Arlon from Keene in 1989, based on the allegations that technical title to these assets
was not conveyed at the time of the sale and that no proof of claim specifically referencing these assets was filed during Keene's Chapter 11 case.  In an answer and counterclaims, Bairnco and Arlon have denied the KCT's claims and have requested a
declaratory judgment that full title to the patents and real property in question in fact was transferred to Arlon at the time of the 1989 asset sale.  The Properties Lawsuit has been transferred to the Transactions Lawsuit Judge for consolidated
discovery and other proceedings.



Management believes that Bairnco has meritorious defenses to all claims or liability purportedly derived from Keene and that it is not liable, as an alter ego, successor, fraudulent transferee or otherwise, for the asbestos-related
claims against Keene or with respect to Keene products.



Bairnco Corporation and its subsidiaries are defendants in a number of other actions. Management of Bairnco believes that the disposition of these other actions, as well as the actions and proceedings described above, will not have a
material adverse effect on the consolidated results of operations or the financial position of Bairnco Corporation and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000.

b.   The approximate number of holders of record of Bairnco common stock (par value $.01 per share) as of December 31, 2000 was 1,246.







Item 6.	SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA



Reference is made to "Financial History" on page 9 of Bairnco's 2000 Annual Report to Stockholders, which is incorporated herein by reference.







Item 7.	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Reference is made to the "Management's Discussion and Analysis" on pages 10 through 12 of Bairnco's 2000 Annual Report to Stockholders which is incorporated herein by reference.



Accounting for derivatives:



In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"), which will require the Corporation to recognize all derivatives as either
assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. Derivatives that are not designated as part of a hedging relationship must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the
nature of the hedge, the effective portion of the hedge's change in fair value is either (1) offset against the change in fair value of the hedged asset, liability or firm commitment through income or (2) held in equity until the hedged item is recognized
in income. The ineffective portion of a hedge's change in fair value is immediately recognized in income. SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS 133," is
effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS 133 should not be applied retroactively to financial statements of prior periods.  The Corporation will adopt SFAS 133, as amended, on January 1, 2001. Had SFAS 133 been implemented, the
Corporation's results of operations and financial position for the year ended December 31, 2000 would not have been materially impacted.









Item 7A.	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 December 31, 2000 would increase interest expense and hence reduce the net income of the
Corporation by approximately $350,000 per year.

The following table summarizes the principal cash flows of the Corporation's financial instruments outstanding at December 31, 2000, categorized by type of instrument and by year of maturity.







|                                                                    | 2001  | 2002  | 2003  | 2004  | 2005   | Total  | FairValue

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 specific market supply and demand and by foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations than by inflationary factors.

Impact of Euro

Each of our European operations has a plan in place to deal with the introduction of the euro.  All computer systems will be updated to ensure euro compliance by the end of 2001. All marketing and operational policies and procedures
will be reviewed to ensure we continue to successfully conduct all aspects of our business in the euro market.  The total cost of the euro conversion is not expected to be material and the conversion from the legacy currencies is not anticipated to have a
material adverse effect on Bairnco's consolidated financial position or results of operations.



Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange Rates



The Corporation's fiscal 2000 sales denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars were approximately 13% of total sales and net assets maintained in a functional currency other than U.S. dollars at December 31, 2000 were
approximately 12% of total net assets. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates has not historically been significant to the Corporation's operations or net assets.

10-K, and have issued our report thereon dated January 26, 2001.  Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on those statements taken as a whole.  The schedule listed in Item 14(a) 2 is the responsibility of the company's management and
is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of the basic consolidated financial statements.  This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic
consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states in all material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
