                               BARNES GROUP INC.
         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.
