Annual Report (Form 10-K), fiscal year 1994

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. Effective December 31, 1993, Bairnco adopted a restructuring plan, a major component of which was a formal plan of divestiture relating to the businesses that comprised Bairnco's Specialty Construction Products segment and secure communications electronics operations. Accordingly, these businesses are classified as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements as of, and for the years ended, December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, and in other financial information accompanying this filing. During 1994 the majority of the Specialty Construction businesses were sold and plans are underway concerning the disposition of the smallest and last remaining operation of the Specialty Construction business. The secure communications business was restructured during the year bringing the operation to an acceptable level of profitability. Negotiations for this operation have not yet resulted in an offer equal to the value that management believes is inherent in the operation. The business continues to be reported as a discontinued operation. These remaining operations are expected to be disposed of during 1995. As a result of the restructuring plan, Bairnco's focus is now on its two remaining core businesses: Arlon's Engineered Components and Materials, and KASCO's Replacement Products and Services. At December 31, 1994, Bairnco's continuing operations employed 884 persons including 13 Headquarters personnel. Bairnco's continuing operations occupy approximately 758,750 square feet of factory and office space at its principal locations.

Item 3.

Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Since its announcement in January 1990 of its intentions to spin off Keene, Bairnco has been named as a defendant in a number of individual personal injury and wrongful death cases in which it is alleged that Bairnco is derivatively liable for the asbestos- related claims against Keene. In 1993 Bairnco and certain of its present and former officers and directors were also named as defendants in two purported class actions in which the same types of claims were made. Both of these purported class actions, which have been consolidated in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, have been stayed by order of the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, as described in the following paragraph. On December 6, 1993, Keene filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The filing and certain subsequent proceedings led to a stay of the asbestos-related individual and class actions referred to above. In an order entered on March 11, 1994, the Bankruptcy Court overseeing the reorganization of Keene entered an order appointing an examiner (the "Examiner") to evaluate and report to the Court whether there are any viable claims arising out of the transfer of assets for value by Keene to other subsidiaries of Bairnco or the spinoffs of certain subsidiaries, including Keene, by Bairnco. Bairnco provided evidence and other information to the Examiner. The Examiner's preliminary report was released on October 3, 1994. Since that time, the Court has held a number of hearings at which the preliminary report has been discussed. The Court has not ruled on whether the potential claims discussed in the report should be prosecuted, and if so by whom or under what circumstances. 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 is party to an action in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York brought by its former subsidiary Keene Corporation, which presently is in Chapter 11, to determine which of the two companies is entitled to receive the benefit of tax refunds attributable to the carryback by Keene of certain net operating losses. (After filing this action, Keene ceded control of the action to the official committee of unsecured creditors that previously was formed in the Chapter 11 proceeding.) Pending resolution of the dispute by the Bankruptcy Court, any refunds actually received are to be placed in escrow. Keene alleges that the refunds in question could total approximately $30 million. There can be no assurance whatsoever that refunds in such amount will be payable or that resolution of the dispute with Keene will result in the release of any portion of the refunds to Bairnco.
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, 1994.
