The paper is concerned with the spectrum of an operator A = C + K , where C is an orthomorphism and K is a compact operator. The proofs are in a certain sense constructive. The results are applied to Barbashin equations \frac{dx}{dt} = Ax , where A = C+K with a multiplication operator C and an integral operator K . In some particular cases even necessary and sufficient conditions for stability are given.
