PART I

Item 1. BUSINESS

a. General Development of Business


Kaydon Corporation (the "Company" or "Kaydon") was formed in October
1983, as a wholly owned subsidiary of Bairnco Corporation ("Bairnco" or "former
parent"), when it acquired all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities,
other than amounts due from affiliates, from a subsidiary of Keene Corporation,
another wholly owned subsidiary of Bairnco, which was then known as Kaydon
Corporation and is now inactive.
The Company was spun off from Bairnco in April 1984 and is no longer a
member of its consolidated group. This spinoff was effected in the form of a
100 percent stock dividend to stockholders of the former parent's common stock.
On June 30, 1986, Kaydon Ring and Seal, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Kaydon, acquired for $29,600,000 certain assets and liabilities
of the Piston Ring and Seal Division of Koppers Company, Inc., a manufacturer
of piston rings and shaft seals. This acquisition was consummated by Kaydon
Ring and Seal, Inc. with loaned funds from Kaydon.
On July 17, 1987, Kaydon acquired for $5,100,000 certain assets and
liabilities of the Spirolox operation of TRW, Inc., a manufacturer of specialty
retaining rings. This acquisition was consummated with funds acquired through
bank credit obtained in the normal course of business.
On June 23, 1989, Kaydon Corporation, through its newly formed, wholly
owned subsidiaries, Kaydon Acquisition Corp. III and Kaydon Acquisition Corp.
IV, acquired for $22,710,000 all of the stock of I.D.M. Electronics Ltd., a
United Kingdom corporation, and KDI Electro-Tec Corp., a Delaware corporation,
from KDI Corporation. I.D.M. Electronics Ltd. and Electro-Tec Corp.
manufacture high-performance, precision slip-rings, slip-ring capsules and
slip-ring assemblies. Slip-rings are complex, electromechanical devices used
to transmit electric signals or electrical power between the rotating and
stationary members of an assembly, such as a gyro and its housing. The
purchase price was financed by credit obtained in the normal course of
business.

On December 16, 1991, Kaydon Corporation, through its wholly owned
subsidiaries, Kaydon Acquisition Corp. III and Kaydon Acquisition Corp. U.K.
Ltd., acquired for L.24,000,000 (approximately $43,440,000 when translated at
the exchange rate in effect at the time of purchase) all of the capital stock
of Prizerandom Limited, a United Kingdom corporation, from Clairmont PLC, a
Scotland corporation. Prizerandom Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Clairmont PLC and is the holding company for Cooper Bearings Limited, a United
Kingdom corporation, which was the primary subject of the acquisition.
Cooper Bearings Ltd. is a holding company consisting of the following
operating subsidiaries, all of which are manufacturers or distributors of
complete bearings and related components parts:



COUNTRY OF
SUBSIDIARY INCORPORATION
- - ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------

Cooper Roller Bearings Company Limited ("Cooper U.K.") United Kingdom
Cooper Split Roller Bearings Corporation ("Cooper U.S.") U.S.A.
Cooper Geteilte Rollenlager GmbH ("Cooper Germany") Germany



Cooper U.K. is a manufacturing operation located in King's Lynn,
Norfolk - U.K. that produces a range of split roller bearings including both a
standard line and custom-designed product. Split bearings are designed
specifically to aid the customer in solving problems where the application of
full round bearings would be impractical. Cooper U.S. and Cooper Germany are
distribution operations located in Virginia Beach, VA - U.S. and Krefeld,
Germany, respectively.
The purchase price was financed through Kaydon Corporation cash plus
bank loans from the National Bank of Detroit and Continental Bank, U.K.

b. and c. Financial Information About Industry Segments
and Narrative Description of Business

The Company designs, manufactures and sells custom-engineered products
for a broad and diverse customer base. The Company's principal products
include antifriction bearings, bearing systems, filters, filter housings,
high-performance rings, sealing rings, specialty retaining rings, shaft seals
and slip-rings. These products are used by customers in a variety of medical,
instrumentation, material handling, machine tool positioning, aerospace,
defense, construction and other industrial applications.

Products

Kaydon works closely with its customers to engineer the required
solutions to their design problems. Design solutions are frequently unique to
a single customer or application. Depending upon the nature of the
application, the design may be used over a protracted time period and in large
numbers, or it may be for a single use.
The antifriction bearing products of Kaydon incorporate various types
of rolling elements. The ball, tapered roller, cylindrical roller and needle
roller bearings manufactured by Kaydon are made in sizes ranging from needle
bearings with a 1/2-inch outside diameter to heavy-duty ball bearings with an
outside diameter of 180 inches. These antifriction products are fabricated
from aluminum, bearing-quality steel, stainless steel or special tool steels.
They often incorporate a broad range of features such as gearing, special
sealing systems and mounting arrangements in combination with other mechanical
components.
As a custom manufacturer, many diverse applications are served.
Typical applications include large-diameter ball bearings for hydraulic cranes
and excavators; thin-section ball bearings for rotating joints of industrial
robots; lightweight airborne radar bearings; large-diameter aluminum roller
bearings for military vehicle turret systems; needle roller bearings for
passenger car transmissions; loose needle rollers for universal joints utilized
in light trucks, agricultural tractors

and passenger cars; special coalescing elements and filter housings for diesel
fuel filtration on both commercial and military vehicles; hydraulic filter
elements for tractor-mounted farm implement units; and ultra high-precision
roller bearings for gear box applications.
Kaydon's subsidiary, Kaydon Ring and Seal, Inc., manufactures metallic
medium and large bore-size rings for low and medium-speed internal combustion
engines, steam engines, pumps and reciprocating compressors. Sealing rings are
engineered with metallic and nonmetallic products used to limit the leakage of
fluids and gases within engines and a wide variety of other mechanical
products. Sealing rings are used in industrial applications, such as:
compressors, transmissions, hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, and commercial
and military aircraft, jet engines and control apparatus applications. Shaft
seals are used to seal gases or liquids usually under extreme conditions of
speed, pressure or temperature. Shaft seals are fabricated from a variety of
materials depending on the application.
Electro-Tec Corp. and I.D.M. Electronics Ltd., wholly owned
subsidiaries of Kaydon Corporation, design and manufacture precision,
high-performance slip-rings, slip-ring assemblies, capsules and related
electromechanical devices to meet customers' exact needs and specifications.
Slip-rings are manufactured from injection and transfer-molded plastics,
aluminum and stainless steel castings, bearings and electronic components and
connectors, and are sometimes subjected to an electro-deposition process. They
are used to transmit electrical signals or power between the rotating and
stationary members of an assembly and can be found in combat vehicles, aircraft
inertial guidance systems, telecommunications satellites, aircraft targeting
systems and medical diagnostic equipment.
Cooper Bearings Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Kaydon Corporation,
designs and manufactures a range of split roller bearings, which include both
standard and custom-designed lines. Split bearings are designed specifically
to aid the customer in solving problems where the application of full round
bearings would be less desirable. The product is used in a wide range of
applications but particularly those where space and ease of change are
important selection criteria.

7

Approximately 69 percent of Kaydon's sales are to original equipment
manufacturers, which incorporate the Kaydon products in the products they sell.
Many of the applications for the Company's products also provide the
opportunity for participation in the replacement or spare parts markets.

New Product and Industry Segment Information

On December 4, 1993 the Company acquired, for approximately $716,000,
the assets of Kenyon Power Transmission Ltd. of Manchester, England. Kenyon
manufactures pulleys and drive components which are complementary to the
product offering of the Company's subsidiary, Cooper U.K., into which it will
be absorbed.
Subsequent to year end, on January 28, 1994 the Company acquired, for
approximately $7,500,000, the assets of Industrial Tectonics Inc located in
Dexter, Michigan. This company has been in existence since 1946 and is noted
for the production of balls made of alloyed steel, plastic, tungsten carbide,
glass and an assortment of other materials which are used in gauges, floats,
measuring instruments, ball point pens and antifriction bearings.
The Company has not made any other public announcement of, or
otherwise made public information about, a new product or a new industry
segment which would require the investment of a material amount of the
Company's assets or which would otherwise result in a material cost.

Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Etc.

The Company does not believe that any material part of its business is
dependent on the continued availability of any one or all of its patents or
trademarks.

Seasonal Nature of Business

The Company does not consider its business to be seasonal in nature.





5
8
Working Capital Practices

The Company does not believe that it or the industry in general has
any special practices or special conditions affecting working capital items
that are significant for an understanding of the Company's business.

Customers

Kaydon sells its products to over 1,000 companies throughout the
world. The principal customers are generally large manufacturing corporations.
During 1993, 1992 and 1991, sales to no single customer exceeded 10% of total
sales.





6
9
Customers can generally be divided into four major market groups:
Aerospace and Military, Replacement Parts and Exports, Special Industrial
Machinery and Heavy Industrial Equipment. Sales to these customer groups for
1993, 1992 and 1991 are set forth in the following table:



Net Sales by Major Market Groups
(in thousands)
1993 1992 1991
-------------------- ------------------- -------------------
Amount % Amount % Amount %
-------- ----- -------- ----- -------- -----

Aerospace and Military $ 40,838 22.2 $ 47,972 26.1 $ 48,905 30.4
Replacement Parts and Exports 68,624 37.3 71,865 39.1 54,649 33.9
Special Industrial Machinery 52,091 28.3 43,087 23.4 39,435 24.5
Heavy Industrial Equipment 22,507 12.2 20,980 11.4 18,000 11.2
-------- ----- -------- ----- -------- -----
Total $184,060 100.0% $183,904 100.0% $160,989 100.0%
======== ===== ======== ===== ======== =====



Replacement parts are sold mainly through specialized distributors.
Kaydon had export sales of $10,979,000 in 1993, $9,102,000 in 1992, and
$10,762,000 in 1991, with most of such sales concentrated in Canada, Europe and
Japan.

Marketing

Kaydon's sales organization consists of salespersons and
representatives located throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia.
Salespersons are trained to provide technical assistance to customers, as well
as to provide liaison with factory engineering staffs.
A nationwide network of specialized distributors and agents provides
local availability of Kaydon products to serve the requirements of the
replacement market and small original equipment manufacturers.

10
Manufacturing

Kaydon manufactures virtually all of the products it sells and
utilizes subcontractors only for occasional specialized services. Kaydon's
products require sophisticated processes and equipment, and many of its
products incorporate unique Kaydon-developed production techniques. Certain
satellite and aircraft-type bearing products must meet extraordinary mechanical
tolerances (for example, within 20 millionths of an inch) and many bearings and
slip-rings are assembled in quality-controlled "white room" conditions. Nearly
all of Kaydon's products require high levels of incoming quality control and
process quality control. The manufacturing equipment required for Kaydon's
operations entails a very high level of capital investment for any given level
of sales.

Suppliers

Kaydon and its subsidiaries purchase large quantities of raw
materials, mainly bearing-quality steel, special alloy steel, high-grade carbon
and filter media, aluminum alloy and stainless steel castings, plastics, wire
and electrical connectors, from multiple sources. Kaydon purchases large
amounts of certain types of bearing-quality steel from a number of foreign
suppliers. No significant supply problems have been encountered in recent
years as relationships with suppliers have generally been good.

Environmental Matters

Reference is made to "Management's Discussion and Analysis" on pages
15 and 16 of Kaydon's 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders which is incorporated
herein by reference.

11
Employees

On December 31, 1993, Kaydon employed 1,671 employees. Hourly
employees at the Muskegon facilities (including Norton Shores) are represented
by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. The
current collective bargaining agreement is effective until December 3, 1994.
The Baltimore hourly employees are also represented by the International
Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. The current collective
bargaining agreement is effective until November 5, 1995. Greeneville hourly
employees are represented by the United Steelworkers of America, with the
current collective bargaining agreement effective until February 2, 1996. The
remaining domestic factory employees, as well as all office employees, are
non-union.
Kaydon provides its employees with a full range of insurance, pension
and deferred compensation benefits. The Company believes its levels of total
compensation are equal to or better than comparable companies in communities
adjacent to each facility.

Backlog

Kaydon sells certain products on a build-to-order basis that requires
substantial order lead time. This results in a backlog of unshipped, scheduled
orders. Other products are manufactured on the basis of sales projections or
annual blanket purchase orders. Orders for such products are not entered into
backlog until explicit shipping releases are received. Kaydon's backlog was
$84,385,000 at December 31, 1993 and $83,296,000 at December 31, 1992. Based
on experience, management would expect to ship over the following twelve months
about 90 percent of the year-end backlog. The backlog increase reversed a
downward trend over the last several years. Backlog has become less indicative
of future results as the Company has made efforts to shorten manufacturing lead
times, creating a faster response to customer orders.





9
12
Competition

Kaydon competes with divisions of SKF Industries, Timken Corporation,
Torrington/Fafnir, Rotek, FAG, EG&G Inc., Litton Poly-Scientific and numerous
other smaller companies.
The markets served by Kaydon are large and extremely competitive. The
major domestic competitors generally produce a wide line of standard products
and do not specialize in custom products. The major domestic bearing
manufacturers nonetheless do offer special-engineered bearings. The markets
for Kaydon's special-machined components, fabricated products, filters, rings
and seals are very diverse. Consequently, management feels that the size of
the total market for such products cannot be meaningfully estimated.
In all of the markets served by Kaydon, the principal methods of
competition involve price, product performance, engineering support and timely
delivery.
Many of Kaydon's domestic competitors are part of large, worldwide
manufacturing concerns and have significantly greater financial resources.
While foreign competition is intense and growing for all industrial components,
the special nature of Kaydon's products and the close working relationship with
its customers have somewhat limited the impact of foreign competition on
domestic business.

Government Contracts and Renegotiation

Various provisions of federal law and regulations require, under
certain circumstances, the renegotiation of military procurement contracts or
the refund of profits determined to be excessive. Based on Kaydon's experience
under such provisions, management believes that no material renegotiation or
refunds (if any) will be required.

d. Information About International Operations


Information with respect to operations by geographic area appears in
Note 15, "Business Segment Information" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements set forth on page 28 of the Annual Report to Stockholders, which is
incorporated herein by reference. Fluctuating exchange rates and factors
beyond the control of the Company, such as tariffs and foreign economic
policies, may affect future results of foreign operations.

Kaydon owns the two manufacturing facilities located in Muskegon
(Norton Shores), the assembly facility located in Newaygo, the manufacturing
facilities located in Sumter, Greeneville, LaGrange (lease option to purchase
exercised June 1, 1993), Baltimore, Blacksburg, Monterrey, Mexico, and King's
Lynn, England and the warehouse facility in Virginia Beach. The other property





11
14
in Muskegon was leased (under a capitalized lease) in connection with a
$10,000,000 Industrial Revenue Bond (IRB) financing for a term expiring January
15, 2009, with an option to purchase the property during the pendency of the
lease and an obligation to purchase the property for nominal consideration upon
its expiration. The IRB's were paid off on January 4, 1993, the lease was
terminated, and the Company took title to the land. Due to the continuing
shrinkage of the military and aerospace markets, Kaydon consolidated its three
Muskegon, Michigan plants into two buildings and closed this plant which is
located within a modern industrial park during the year. Management does not
anticipate a material impact, if any, on earnings relating to the sale of this
facility and anticipates that the desirable location will allow the plant
facility to be sold for at least book value. Kaydon operates at two sites in
Sumter, one site is owned and the other is leased (under a capitalized lease)
in connection with a $4,000,000 Industrial Revenue Bond financing for a term
expiring April 1, 1997, with an option to purchase the property during the
pendency of the lease and an obligation to purchase the property for nominal
consideration upon its expiration. The St. Louis property is leased for a term
expiring July 31, 1997. The property in Reading, England, is leased for a term
expiring May 1, 2009. The Krefeld, Germany property is leased for a term
expiring September 30, 1994. The Corporate office located in Clearwater,
Florida is leased for a term expiring January 31, 1999.

Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company, together with other companies, certain former officers,
and certain current and former directors, has been named as a co-defendant in
lawsuits filed in the federal court in New York. The suits purport to be class
actions on behalf of all persons who have unsatisfied personal injury and
property damage claims against Keene Corporation. The premise of the suits is
that assets of Keene were transferred to Bairnco subsidiaries, of which Kaydon
was one in 1983, at less than fair value. The suits also allege that the
Company, among other named defendants, was a successor to and alter ego of
Keene. While the ultimate outcome of this litigation is unknown at the present
time, management believes that it has meritorious defenses to the asserted
claims. Accordingly, no provision has been reflected in the financial
statements for any alleged





13
16
damages. Management believes that the outcome of this litigation will not have
a materially adverse effect on the Company's financial position.
Various other claims, lawsuits and environmental matters arising in
the normal course of business are pending against the Company. Management
believes that the outcome of these matters will not have a materially adverse
effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Item 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the
fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 1993.

Item 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY & RELATED STOCKHOLDER
MATTERS


a. and c. Market Information and Dividends

Information regarding the market price of Kaydon's common stock
appears in Note 14, "Quarterly Results of Operations" of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements on page 27 of Kaydon's 1993 Annual Report to
Stockholders, which is incorporated herein by reference. During 1992, the
Company effected a two-for-one stock split; accordingly, all applicable
financial data has been restated to reflect the split. Kaydon's common stock
is listed on NASDAQ (over the counter) under the symbol KDON. Kaydon declared
cash dividends during 1991, 1992 and 1993 as follows (on a per-share basis):


1993 1992 1991
---- ---- ----

March $0.09 $0.075 $0.0625
June 0.09 0.075 0.0625
September 0.09 0.075 0.0625
December 0.10 0.09 0.075


Effective with the cash dividend declared in December 1993 and paid in January
1994, Kaydon adopted a plan which calls for quarterly cash dividends of $0.10
per share. This recent increase in the dividend amount reflects Kaydon
management's continuing confidence in the growing financial strength of the
Company and their expectation of continued earnings growth.

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Kaydon Corporation:

We have audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated financial statements included in Kaydon Corporation
and Subsidiaries' annual report to stockholders incorporated by reference in
this Form 10-K, and have issued our report thereon dated January 20, 1994. Our
audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on those statements
