PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

Carlisle Companies Incorporated was incorporated in 1986 in Delaware as
a holding company for Carlisle Corporation, whose operations began in 1917, and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Unless the context of this report otherwise
requires, the words "Company" and "registrant" refer to Carlisle Companies
Incorporated and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and any divisions or subsidiaries
they may have. The Company's diversified manufacturing operations are conducted
through its subsidiaries.

The Company manufactures and distributes a wide variety of products
across a broad range of industries, including, among others, roofing,
construction, trucking, automotive, foodservice, industrial equipment, lawn and
garden and aircraft manufacturing. The Company markets its products both as a
component supplier to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), as well as
directly to end users.

Sales of the Company's products are reported by distribution to the
following four industry segments: Construction Materials, Industrial Components,
Automotive Components and General Industry (All Other). The principal products,
services and markets or customers served in each of the industry segments
include:

CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS. The principal products of this segment are rubber,
plastic and FleeceBACK-TM- sheeting used predominantly on non-residential flat
roofs and related roofing accessories, including flashings, fasteners, sealing
tapes, coatings and waterproofings. The markets served include new construction,
re-roofing and maintenance of low slope roofs, water containment, HVAC sealants,
and coatings and waterproofings.

INDUSTRIAL COMPONENTS. The principal products of this segment are small bias-ply
rubber tires, stamped and roll-formed wheels, heavy duty friction and braking
systems for truck and off-highway equipment, high grade aerospace wire and
speciality electronic cable. Customers include golf car manufacturers, power
equipment manufacturers, boat and utility trailer manufacturers, truck OEMs,
heavy equipment and truck dealers and aftermarket distributors, aerospace OEMs,
and electronic equipment manufacturers.

AUTOMOTIVE COMPONENTS. The principal products of this segment are highly
engineered rubber and plastic components for Tier I suppliers and other
manufacturers in the automotive market.

GENERAL INDUSTRY (ALL OTHER). The principal products of this segment include
commercial and institutional plastic foodservice permanentware and catering
equipment, fiber glass and composite material trays and dishes, ceramic
tableware, specialty rubber and plastic cleaning brushes, stainless steel
processing equipment and their related process control systems, specialty
trailers and standard and custom-built high payload trailers and dump bodies,
refrigerated truck bodies and perishable cargo container leasing. Customers
include food service distributors, restaurants, dairy product processors and
distributors, heavy equipment and truck dealers, home delivery distributors,
shipping lines and commercial haulers.

The amount of total revenue contributed by the products or services in
each industry segment for each of the last three fiscal years is as follows (in
millions):



1999 1998 1997
---- ---- ----

Construction Materials $ 405.4 $ 371.5 $ 316.6
Industrial Components 527.9 510.8 396.9
Automotive Components 314.3 272.0 241.3
General Industry - All Other 363.7 363.2 305.7
- ----------------------------------- -------- -------- --------

Total $1,611.3 $1,517.5 $1,260.5


In each industry segment, the Company's products are generally
distributed either by Company-employed field sales personnel or manufacturers'
representatives. In a few instances, distribution is through dealers and
independent distributors. Since many of the Company's customers are OEMs,
marketing methods and certain operations are designed to accommodate the
requirements of a small group of high-volume producer-customers.

In each industry segment, satisfactory supplies of raw materials and
adequate sources of energy essential for operation of the Company's businesses
have generally been available to date. Uncertain economic conditions, however,
could cause shortages of some basic materials, particularly those which are
petroleum derivatives (plastic resins, synthetic rubber, etc.) and used in the
Construction Materials, Industrial Components, Automotive Components and General
Industry (All Other) segments. The Company believes that energy sources are
secure and sufficient quantities of raw materials can be obtained through normal
sources to avoid interruption of production in 2000.

The Company owns or holds the right to use a variety of patents,
trademarks, licenses, inventions, trade secrets and other intellectual property
rights which, in the aggregate, are considered significant to the successful
conduct of each of the Company's four industry segments. The Company has adopted
a variety of measures and programs to ensure the continued validity and
enforceability of its various intellectual property rights.

In each industry segment, the Company is engaged in businesses, and its
products serve markets, that generally are highly competitive. Product lines
serving most markets tend to be price competitive and all lines also compete on
service and product performance. Except for Automotive Components, no industry
segment is dependent upon a single customer, or a few customers, the loss of
which would have a material adverse effect on the segment. Sales to its largest
customer represented 25.6% of total Automotive Components segment sales in 1999.

Order Backlog was $228.0 million at December 31, 1999, $262.1 million
at December 31, 1998, and $281.6 million at December 31, 1997.

Research and Development expenses were $15.8 million in 1999, compared
to $16.2 million in 1998, and $15.8 million in 1997.

The Company employs approximately 10,290 persons on a full-time basis.


4



The businesses of the Construction Materials, Automotive Components and
General Industry (All Other) segments are generally not seasonal in nature.
Within the Industrial Components segment, distribution of lawn and garden
products generally reach peak sales volume during the first two quarters of the
year. The businesses of all four segments are affected by the state of the
general economy.

In 1999, the Company completed the following acquisitions. In January,
the Company acquired the assets of Global Manufacturers Corporation, a
manufacturer of wheel centers, hub covers, bumpers and brackets for the OEM and
auto aftermarkets. In May, the Company acquired the assets of Johnson Welding &
Manufacturing Co. (d/b/a Johnson Truck Bodies), a manufacturer of custom
refrigerated truck bodies sold to the home delivery, dairy, convenience food
store and other niche delivery markets. In November, the Company acquired
certain assets of Innovative Engineering Limited, a cheese process engineering
business located in Cambridge, New Zealand. In December, the Company acquired
(i) the assets of Marko International, Inc. a manufacturer of table coverings,
table skirting and relating accessories for the foodservice industry and (ii)
certain assets of Cragar Industries relating to its steel outer rim and
accessory business. The Company also entered into an exclusive license to
manufacture and sell CRAGAR brand custom wheels.

In each industry segment, the Company's compliance with Federal, state
and local provisions which have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge
of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the
environment is not anticipated to have a material effect upon the capital
expenditures, earnings or the financial and competitive position of the Company
or its divisions and subsidiaries.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Carlisle Companies Incorporated reported sales of $1.611 billion in
1999, up 6%, or $94 million, from 1998 sales of $1.518 billion. The primary
contributing factor to this increase was generated through product line
expansion and market share gains. In addition, we completed several
complementary acquisitions in 1998 and 1999. In 1998, sales increased 20% or
$257 million, as a result of internal growth as well as acquisitions made in
1998 and the full year impact of those acquisitions completed in 1997.

Net earnings in 1999 were $95.8 million, or $3.13 per share, a 13%
increase over 1998 net earnings of $84.9 million, or $2.77 per share. Net
earnings, in 1998, increased 20%, reflecting not only the increased sales
levels, but also cost reductions.

In January 1999, Carlisle exited its Perishable Cargo business, which
impacts the year-to-year comparisons of operating results. After adjusting for
the effect of this divestiture, pro-forma sales and net earnings increased 10%
and 17%, respectively. The quarterly pro-forma results are shown in Table 1
below.

Sales and net earnings in 1999 mark the eighth consecutive year of
year-to-year improvements. Approximately 70% of this year's growth came from the
combination of market growth, product line extensions, market share gains and
cost reductions. The strong rebound in the automotive market, the expansion of
sales of insulation and thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) roofing membrane, as well
as strong growth in our specialty tire and wheel, systems and equipment, and
foodservices businesses are the primary contributors to our 1999 sales increase.
Improved operational efficiencies at several operations, along with sales
increases, account for the increased earnings from internal operations.
Continuing progress was made on the program to improve the profitability of
assets employed in the business.

The effective tax rate was reduced from 39.5% to 38.4%. This reduction
was the result of the implementation of various state tax strategies initiated
over the last two years.

During 1999, we completed five complementary acquisitions. We
purchased: (1) Global Manufacturing, a manufacturer of stamped steel wheels for
industrial and recreational applications and styled steel wheels for the
automotive aftermarket (2) Johnson Truck Bodies, a manufacturer of fiber glass
custom truck bodies for the delivery of food products to stores and homes, (3)
Innovative Engineering Limited, an engineering and equipment supplier of cheese
making systems, (4) Marko International, Inc., a supplier of table coverings,
table skirtings and other accessories for the foodservice market, and (5) the
custom steel wheel business of Cragar Industries, Inc., which produces and
markets CRAGAR brand custom steel wheels to the automotive aftermarket.



12


Four acquisitions were completed in 1998: (1) Vermont Electromagnetics
and (2) Quality Microwave Interconnects, Inc., both manufacturers of specialty
cable assemblies and connectors, (3) Industrial Tire Products, Inc., a
distributor of industrial and recreational tire and wheel assemblies, and (4)
Hardcast Europe BV, a Dutch manufacturer of adhesive and sealant products for
the construction market.

OPERATING SEGMENTS

CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS

Segment sales grew 9% in 1999 to $405 million, an increase of $33
million over 1998 sales of $372 million. This sales growth resulted from the
expansion of insulation and thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) shipments to the
roofing systems market by Carlisle SynTec. Carlisle Coatings & Waterproofing
experienced higher sales driven by its tape and sealant products. In 1998,
segment sales increased 17% from 1997 sales of $317 million as a result of
increased market share and new products.

Segment earnings were up 10% in 1999 to $58 million, reflecting
increased sales levels, improved operational performance and favorable warranty
experience, partially offset by the absorption of increased raw material costs
and changes in product mix. Also, during 1999, Carlisle SynTec successfully
implemented an integrated company-wide information system, which will further
improve the efficiencies of this segment. The 1998 segment earnings of $53
million were up 8% over 1997 segment earnings of $49 million, primarily due to
increased sales.

Return on assets improved from 24% to 25% as a result of both increased
asset efficiency and profit margins.

INDUSTRIAL COMPONENTS

Segment sales were $528 million in 1999, a 3% increase over 1998 sales
of $511 million. The primary cause of the increase was the growth of new
customers and new products in the specialty tire and wheel business of Carlisle
Tire & Wheel, as well as acquisitions that were completed in 1999 and 1998.
Decreased customer requirements for aerospace bulk cable negatively impacted
Tensolite's sales. Sales at Motion Control Industries and Carlisle Industrial
Brake & Friction were down in 1999, due to lower demand in the heavy duty
friction aftermarket and off-highway industrial brakes for mining and
agricultural applications. In 1998, segment sales increased 29% over 1997 sales
of $397 million. The primary cause of this increase was the growth of tire and
wheel assemblies, especially to the aftermarket, increased shipment of high
performance wire to aircraft manufacturers, and the acquisition of two high
speed data cable assembly companies.

Segment earnings increased 8% to $66 million in 1999. The main factors
in the increase were product line extension and operational improvements at our
specialty tire and wheel businesses. Offsetting these improvements were lower
earnings at our specialty wire and cable business and Carlisle Industrial Brake
& Friction due to less robust markets. In 1998, segment earnings of $61 million
increased 29% over 1997 segment earnings of $47 million. This earnings growth
was consistent with the increase in sales. Return on assets in 1999 increased to
20% from 19% in 1998.

AUTOMOTIVE COMPONENTS

In 1999, segment sales increased 16% to $314 million over 1998 sales of
$272 million. This growth was the result of a very strong automotive and light
truck market coupled with new product introductions. Segment sales were up 13%
in 1998, over 1997 sales of $241 million. This increase was due to product line
extensions, which were offset by the effects of the General Motors (GM) strike.

Segment earnings of $21 million represent an increase of 20% over 1998
segment earnings of $18 million. Earnings in 1999 increased due to the impact of
the GM strike in 1998 as well as improved product mix. In the fourth quarter,
this business was streamlined and an unprofitable operation eliminated. Earnings
in 1998 decreased 5% from the 1997 level of $19 million due primarily to the
inefficiencies generated by the rapid ramp-up of production for new programs
interrupted by the GM strike in 1998. Return on assets improved from 8% in 1998
to 10% in 1999 as asset efficiency increased and profit margins improved.



13


GENERAL INDUSTRY (ALL OTHER)

The General Industry (All Other) segment sales of $364 million were
flat with 1998 sales of $363 million. On a pro-forma basis, excluding the effect
of the perishable cargo divestiture in January 1999, sales increased 20% over
1998. Sales and earnings at Carlisle Systems & Equipment account for much of
this pro-forma increase, due to the acquisition of Johnson Truck Bodies as well
as internal growth. Carlisle Transportation Products' sales were up over 1998
primarily due to a strong highway construction market. Higher sales were
recorded in our foodservice business due to product line expansions in both
international and domestic markets. Carlisle FoodService Products completed the
significant upgrade of a new customer service system, as well as opening two new
distribution facilities. Segment sales in 1998 were up 19% over 1997 sales of
$306 million. This increase was related to higher sales of specialty trailers to
construction markets, plastic permanentware to the foodservice industry and
refrigerated containers to the shipping industry.

Segment earnings of $40 million increased 6% over 1998 segment earnings
of $38 million. Pro-forma earnings grew 26%, after excluding the perishable
cargo business, reflecting primarily the increase in sales in this segment.
Earnings in 1998 were up 27% over 1997 earnings of $30 million. This growth was
due to the general increase in sales, improved manufacturing efficiencies and
increased share of the leasing market in our perishable cargo business. Return
on assets increased to 15.4% in 1999, from 14.5% in 1998, as a result of
improved profit margins.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

GROSS MARGIN, expressed as a percent of sales, represents the
difference between net sales and cost of goods sold. These margins declined from
22.7% of sales in 1997 to 21.6% in 1998, and increased to 22.2% in 1999. The
decline from 1997 to 1998 largely reflects the competitive marketplace and
changing mix in Carlisle's total sales. In 1999, improved operational
efficiency, as well as improved product mix, accounted for the higher margin
rate.

SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS, expressed as a percent of sales,
declined from 11.4% in 1997 to 10.6% in 1998, but increased to 10.8% in 1999,
reflecting the continued emphasis on cost control throughout all operations and
lower cost structures in Carlisle's overall businesses.

TOTAL COSTS, which include raw material, manufacturing, selling,
general and administrative costs, expressed as a percentage of total sales, have
remained fairly consistent, decreasing slightly in 1999 to 89.6% of sales from
90.0% of sales in 1998 and 89.9% of sales in 1997. The improvement in this total
cost relationship in 1999 was due to improved operating efficiencies. The 1998
decline from 1997's level of 89.9% percent of sales was due to operational
improvements offset by the GM strike and the change in product mix in the
construction materials operations.

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET decreased to $19.2 million in 1999 from $19.7
million in 1998, due to the lower debt levels maintained throughout the year.
Planned capital expenditures and acquisitions were financed through internally
generated cash flows.

OTHER, NET decreased to $6.1 million in 1999 due to the reduction of
the Company's ownership in its leasing joint venture.

INCOME TAXES, for financial reporting purposes, decreased in 1999 to an
effective tax rate of 38.4%, compared to 39.5% in 1998 and 1997. This reduction
was the outcome of the implementation of various state tax strategies developed
in previous years.

RECEIVABLES, of $245 million, reflect an increase of 9% over the 1998
level of $225 million. This increase was in line with the sales growth. The 1998
level of receivables represented a 22% increase over 1997 levels and was
primarily the result of higher December sales.

INVENTORIES, valued primarily by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method,
were $219 million at year-end 1999, a 13% increase over the 1998 year-end level
of $194 million. The increase in inventory at year-end was primarily due to
higher



14


inventory at specialty tire and wheel and roofing operations in preparation for
the spring selling season, as well as from acquisitions made during the current
year. The 1998 inventory level increased 7% over 1997, due primarily to
acquisitions made during the year.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES totaled $48 million in 1999, a significant
reduction from the $96 million incurred in 1998. The 1999 level was more
consistent with previous levels, which reflects a normalized level of capital
spending. The 1998 increase was primarily attributable to investments in
production capacity in Mexico, expanded warehousing and distribution facilities
for our foodservice operation, increased production capacity for tire and wheel
assemblies, specialty trailer products, high speed data wire and cable
assemblies, and plant and equipment to manufacture insulation and TPO roofing
membranes.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL

CASH FLOWS provided by operating activities increased $39 million to
$136 million in 1999 from $97 million in 1998. Cash used in investing activities
was $86 million versus $133 million in 1998, a decrease of $47 million. This
decrease was attributable to cash received from the divestiture of the
perishable cargo business, net of a $39 million tax payment, as well as a
reduction in the level of capital expenditures. The net cash used in financing
activities in 1999 was $44 million versus cash provided of $38 million in 1998.
The 1999 amount reflects the repayment of short-term borrowings, outstanding at
the end of 1998, and dividend payments. The net cash provided by financing
activities in 1998, of $38 million, reflects the net increase in debt after the
early payment of higher cost debt and stock repurchases.

Carlisle has a $125 million revolving credit facility available for
acquisitions and general corporate purposes. In May 1998, Carlisle issued to the
public $100 million of ten-year bonds at a rate of 6.70%. The net proceeds from
these bonds were used to repay amounts outstanding under the revolving credit
facility and to fund other needs throughout 1998. The Company's primary sources
of liquidity and capital are cash flows from operations and borrowing capacity.
Carlisle continues to maintain substantial flexibility to meet anticipated needs
for liquidity and investment opportunities.

Carlisle management recognizes the importance of the Company's
responsibilities toward matters of environmental concern. Programs are in place
to monitor and test facilities and surrounding environments and, where
practical, to recycle materials. Carlisle has not incurred material charges
relating to environmental matters in 1999 or in prior years, and none are
currently anticipated.

YEAR 2000

During the last several years, and in the normal course of business,
Carlisle has replaced a substantial portion of its older computer software and
systems with new systems that are Year 2000 compliant. These investments are
expected to assist Carlisle in improving its operational ratios. With respect to
the remaining information systems, as well as the Company's embedded technology,
the Company adopted a program (involving both internal personnel and third-party
consultants) of (i) assessment, (ii) remediation, and (iii) authentication. The
Company has completed the assessment phase, the remediation phase, and the
authentication phase, which included simulated testing in a Year 2000
environment. The Company will continue testing its systems throughout the first
quarter of 2000. The cost to the Company, of completing these efforts did not
exceed $750,000.

Carlisle has maintained a formal communication program with its
significant suppliers and large customers, which it will conclude in the first
quarter of 2000. As part of this program, Carlisle has, and will continue to (1)
evaluate the supplier's year 2000 compliance plans and state of readiness and
(2) determine whether a year 2000-related event will impede the ability of a
particular supplier to continue to provide goods and services. Contingency plans
were adopted for any significant supplier that did not provide an appropriate
and timely response to Carlisle or if the results of a risk assessment
identified a business process at risk of a Year 2000 failure.

There were no disruptions to Carlisle businesses as a result of the
changeover to the Year 2000. However, there can be no guarantee that Year 2000
failures experienced by third parties during the first quarter of 2000 would not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or
operations.



15


BACKLOG AND FUTURE OUTLOOK

BACKLOG was $228 million at December 31, 1999 compared to $247 million
(excluding Carlisle perishable cargo backlog of $15 million) in 1998. Higher
backlog at Carlisle Systems & Equipment and Carlisle FoodService reflects the
strong market penetration achieved by these businesses. Automotive Components
backlog was down from December 1998 due to the high demand in the fourth quarter
1998, created by the GM strike. Also, Construction Materials backlog was down
due to reporting enhancements made in conjunction with the implementation of new
business software.

The elimination of capacity limitations, through significant capital
expenditures in 1998 and the continued implementation of lean manufacturing
systems, allowed more rapid response to customer needs and contributed to
backlog reductions in several businesses. Reduced aerospace wire demand is
reflected in the lower backlog.

We continue to concentrate on our longstanding operating principles of:
targeted market leadership; growth from within; lean organizational structure;
low cost, decentralized operations; and strategic acquisitions to achieve our
sales and earnings growth objectives. As we move ahead, we are confident that
adherence to these principles will bring continued operating success. With a
growing market and a commitment to constant increased operating efficiency, 2000
should prove to be another strong year for Carlisle.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Carlisle Companies Incorporated and Subsidiaries

SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its subsidiaries. Investments in affiliates where the Company does
not have majority control, none of which are significant, are accounted for
under the equity method. Equity income related to such investments is recorded
in Other, net. All material intercompany transactions and accounts have been
eliminated.

REVENUE RECOGNITION.

The Company recognizes revenues from product sales upon shipment to the
customer. The substantial majority of the Company's product sales are to
customers in the United States.

USE OF ESTIMATES.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS.

Debt securities with a remaining maturity of three months or less when
acquired are cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost,
which approximates market value.

INVENTORIES.

Inventories are valued at lower of cost or market. Cost for inventories
is determined for a majority of the Company's inventories by the last-in,
first-out (LIFO) method with the remainder determined by the first-in, first-out
(FIFO) method.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT.

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Costs allocated to
property, plant and equipment of acquired companies are based on estimated fair
value at the date of acquisition. Depreciation is principally computed on the
straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Asset lives
are 20 to 40 years for buildings, 5 to 15 years for machinery and equipment and
3 to 10 years for leasehold improvements.

PATENTS, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES.

Patents and other intangibles, recorded at cost, amounted to $6.6
million and $4.3 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively (net of
accumulated amortization of $16.5 million and $16.3 million, respectively), and
are amortized over their remaining lives, which average five years. Goodwill,
representing the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of specifically
identifiable assets acquired, was $151.3 million and $135.4 million at December
31, 1999 and 1998, respectively (net of accumulated amortization of $19.8
million and $13.6 million, respectively), and is amortized on a straight line
basis over various periods not exceeding 30 years. The Company evaluates the
carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets if facts and
circumstances suggest that they may be impaired. Impairments would be recognized
when the expected future operating cash flows derived from such intangible
assets is less than their carrying value.



21


PRODUCT WARRANTIES.

The Company offers warranties on the sales of certain of its products
and records an accrual for estimated future claims. Such accruals are based upon
historical experience and management's estimate of the level of future claims.

LEASES.

The Company is obligated under various noncancelable operating leases
for certain facilities and equipment. Rent expense was $8.4 million, $6.6
million and $5.4 million, in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Future minimum
payments under various noncancelable operating leases in each of the next five
years are approximately $7.6 million in 2000, $6.8 million in 2001, $6.0 million
in 2002, $5.2 million in 2003 and $4.5 million in 2004.

INCOME TAXES.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences of the differences between financial statement carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. These balances are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which such temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. If a portion or all of a deferred tax asset is not expected to be
realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.

EARNINGS PER SHARE.

Earnings per share is determined in accordance with STATEMENT OF
FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per Share". Basic
earnings per share excludes the dilutive effects of options, warrants, and
convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive
securities that were outstanding during the period. The only difference between
basic and diluted earnings per share of the Company is the effect of dilutive
stock options.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS.

The estimated fair market values of the Company's financial instruments
approximate their recorded values.

OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME.

The Company has determined the components of other comprehensive
income, such as cumulative translation adjustments and minimum pension
liability, are not significant.

RECLASSIFICATIONS.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years' information to
conform to 1999 presentation.

OPERATIONAL RESTRUCTURING AND IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS.

In January 1999, the Company announced the reduction of its interest in
its perishable cargo business, consisting of its container leasing joint venture
and container manufacturing operations. On January 28, 1999 the Company sold 85%
of its interest in its leasing joint venture. In connection with the reduction
in the Company's interest in the leasing joint venture, the Company suspended
operations at its container manufacturing facility. As a result, the Company
recognized a pre-tax gain of $16.6 million in the first quarter of 1999. These
operations are associated with the Company's General Industry (All Other)
segment.

In conjunction with the implementation of the 1999 business plan, the
Company completed certain product line realignments, manufacturing improvements
and facility relocations and upgrades at its operating businesses resulting in
certain assets that are no longer required or will be reallocated. In the first
quarter of 1999, the Company recognized a $15.9 million pre-tax charge related
to these assets. Approximately 75% of this charge related to machinery and
equipment primarily associated with the foodservice, roofing, tire and wheel and
automotive components manufacturing operations, with the remainder related to
goodwill and other intangible assets associated with acquisitions made in prior



22


years. The amount of the charge of machinery and equipment was determined to be
the excess of the recorded values over the estimated fair values. The fair
values were determined using estimated market values or projected future
discounted cash flows, whichever was deemed appropriated. The charge related to
the intangible assets was determined as the excess of the recorded value over
the projected future undiscounted cash flows.

The net effect of the above items is reflected under the caption "gain
on divestiture of business, net of other charges" on the face of the Company's
Consolidated Statement of Earnings.

On May 15, 1998, the Company issued $100 million in notes due in 2008
at an interest rate of 6.70%. The net proceeds were used to repay all amounts
outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility, to repay other
short-term indebtedness and for general corporate purposes.

On December 29, 1998, the Company retired the 8.09% senior notes due
1998-2002 with cash generated from operations and short-term borrowings.
Included in Other, net is a $1.8 million charge related to this prepayment.

The Company has a $125 million revolving credit facility with various
banks. As of December 31, 1999, $125 million was available under this facility.
The Company has available unsecured lines of credit from banks of $40 million,
of which $40 million was available as of December 31, 1999.

At December 31, 1999, letters of credit amounting to $22.1 million were
outstanding, primarily to provide security under insurance arrangements and
certain borrowings.

The weighted average interest rates on the revenue bonds for 1999 and
1998 were 4.6% and 4.3%, respectively.

The debt facilities contain various restrictive covenants and
limitations, all of which were complied with in 1999 and 1998. The industrial
development and revenue bonds are collateralized by the facilities and equipment
acquired through the proceeds of the related bond issuances. On January 1, 1999,
the Company secured a $10 million Industrial Development Revenue Bond due
December 31, 2018 at LIBOR +.4%.

Cash payments for interest were $19.1 million in 1999, $21.3 million in
1998, and $12.3 million in 1997.

Interest expense, net is shown net of interest income of $2.6 million
in 1999, $3.0 million in 1998, and $1.2 million in 1997.

The aggregate amount of long-term debt maturing in each of the next
five years is approximately $2.0 million in 2000, $2.2 million in 2001, $1.2
million in 2002, $3.8 million in 2003, $1.3 million in 2004 and $273.2 million
thereafter.

ACQUISITIONS

In each of the last three years, the Company has completed various
acquisitions, all of which have been accounted for as purchases. Results of
operations for these acquisitions, which have been included in the consolidated
financial statements since their respective acquisition dates, did not have a
material effect on consolidated operating results of the Company in the years of
the acquisition.

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

The Company has a Shareholders' Rights Agreement that is designed to
protect shareholder investment values. A dividend distribution of one Preferred
Stock Purchase Right for each outstanding share of the Company's common stock
was declared, payable to shareholders of record on March 3, 1989. The Rights
will become exercisable under certain circumstances, including the acquisition
of 25% of the Company's common stock, or 40% of the voting power, in which case
all rights holders except the acquiror may purchase the Company's common stock
at a 50% discount. If the Company is acquired in a merger or other business
combination, and the Rights have not been redeemed, rights holders may purchase
the acquiror's shares at a 50% discount. On August 7, 1996, the Company amended
the Shareholders' Rights Agreement to, among other things, extend the term of
the Rights until August 6, 2006.

Common shareholders of record on May 30, 1986 are entitled to five
votes per share. Common stock acquired subsequent to that date entitles the
holder to one vote per share until held four years, after which time the holder
is entitled to five votes.

In April 1999, the shareholders approved an increase in the number of
authorized common shares of the Company from 50 million shares to 100 million
shares.

EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS & INCENTIVE PLAN

The Company maintains an Executive Incentive Program for executives and
certain other employees of the Company and its operating divisions and
subsidiaries. The Program contains a plan, for those who are eligible, to
receive cash bonuses and/or shares of restricted stock. The Program also has a
stock option plan available to certain employees who are not eligible to receive
restricted stock awards.

At December 31, 1999, 15,699 nonvested shares were outstanding and
2,158,798 shares were available for issuance under the Company's restricted

In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," the Company applies APB Opinion 25 and related
interpretations in accounting for its stock compensation plans and, accordingly,
does not recognize compensation cost for its stock option plan. If the Company
had elected to recognize compensation cost based on the fair value of the
options granted at grant date as prescribed by SFAS No. 123, the pro-forma
effect on net earnings and earnings per share, in 1999, 1998 and 1997, would
have been approximately $2.5 million or $.08 per share, $1.7 million or $.06 per
share and $1.5 million or $.05 per share, respectively. Pursuant to the
transition provisions of SFAS No. 123, the pro-forma effect includes only the
vested portion of options granted in and after 1995. Options vest over a three
year period. Compensation cost was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with
the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 1.70 percent in 1999, 1.20
percent in 1998 and 1.75 percent in 1997; an expected life of 7 years; expected
volatility of 33.2 percent in 1999, 25.6 percent in 1998 and 24.0 percent in
1997; and risk-free interest rate of 5.5 percent in 1999, 5.5 percent in 1998
and 6.0 percent in 1997. The weighted-average fair value of those stock options
granted in 1999, 1998 and 1997 was $14.66, $16.35, and $9.61, respectively.

RETIREMENT PLANS

The Company maintains defined benefit retirement plans for the majority
of its employees. Benefits are based primarily on years of service and earnings
of the employee. Plan assets consist primarily of publicly-listed common stocks
and corporate bonds.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about
Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits". The Company has restated prior year
defined benefit retirement plan disclosures to conform to the requirements of
SFAS No.132.

The projected benefit obligation was determined using an assumed
discount rate of 7.75% in 1999, 7.00% in 1998, and 7.25% in 1997. The assumed
rate of compensation increase was 4.5% in 1999, 4% in 1998 and 1997; and the
expected rate of return on plan assets was 9.25% in 1999 and 1998, and 8.75% in
1997. The 1999 pension plan disclosures were determined using a September 30
measurement date.

Additionally, the Company maintains a retirement savings plan covering
substantially all employees other than those employees under collective
bargaining agreements. Plan expense was $4.9 million, $4.9 million and $4.7
million, in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

The Company also has a limited number of unfunded post-retirement
benefit programs for which the expense, inclusive of the components of service
costs, interest costs and the amortization of the unrecognized transition
obligation, was approximately $0.4 million in 1999, 1998 and 1997. The present
value of the Company's obligation under these plans is not significant.

Report of Independent Public Accountants

To the Board of Directors of Carlisle Companies Incorporated:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Carlisle
Companies Incorporated (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of December
31, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements of earnings,
shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
