              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1997

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have
been included. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts in
order to present them on a basis consistent with the current year. Operating
results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 1997. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

NOTE 2:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operation: The Company and its subsidiary distribute a line of home
sewing and craft products, principally buttons. During the first quarter, the
Company sold its Thread division. (See Note 5).

Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany
items and transactions.

Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation and amortization are computed
principally by the straight-line method for each class of depreciable and
amortizable asset based on their estimated useful lives. Buildings and
improvements, machinery and equipment, and furniture, fixtures and leasehold
improvements are generally depreciated over periods of 20-35, 5-25 and 5-10
years, respectively.

Revenue Recognition: Revenue is recognized upon shipment of merchandise.

Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a
maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company 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.

NOTE 3: EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per common share for the Company have been computed on the basis of
weighted average common shares outstanding after providing for quarterly
preferred dividend requirements.


                                                                    PAGE 6 OF 12

NOTE 5: DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On March 26, 1997, the Company sold the assets and specified liabilities of the
Company's Thread Division to Hicking Pentecost PLC. The aggregate cash
consideration was $54.9 million of which $3.0 million was placed in escrow
subject to certain post-closing adjustments.

In connection with this sale, the Company repaid all of its outstanding bank
debt using proceeds received in the transaction. No penalties were incurred by
the Company in connection with this prepayment. In addition, the Company will be
obligated to pay approximately $8.5 million of income taxes related to the tax
gain resulting from this transaction in March 1998. Nondeductible goodwill
associated with the Thread division amounting to approximately $18.0 million was
written-off as of the date of sale. Operating results of the Thread division for
1997 through the date of disposition and for all prior periods have been
presented as discontinued operations. In connection with this transaction, the
Company changed its name to Carlyle Industries, Inc.

In addition, the operating results related to the Company's former Home
Furnishings division which was sold on July 31, 1996, are also included in
discontinued operations through the date of its sale in 1996.


NOTE 6: DEFAULT ON PREFERRED STOCK

Under the terms of the Company's charter, dividends are payable upon the
Preferred Stock when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of
legally available funds. In addition, the Preferred Stock is required to be
redeemed by the Company, to the extent of legally available funds, in
installments on or prior to March 1999, subject among other things to the
approval of the Company's banks. Prior to March 27, 1997, the Company did not
make any payments on account of the Preferred Stock (either dividend or
redemption) as the Company's lenders declined to approve such payments, however,
as of that date, the Company discharged the last of its credit facilities.
Consequently, the Company is now in default of its obligations to redeem the
Preferred Stock to the extent of its legally available funds. As of September
30, 1997, the accrued but unpaid dividends were $3.8 million and redemption
payments in arrears aggregated $12.9 million. Accrued but unpaid dividends are
added to the redemption value of the Preferred Stock and the total continues to
accrue interest at a compound rate of 6% per annum. In addition, the Company has
agreed to notify the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") thirty days
prior to taking certain actions, including any dividend or redemption payments
with respect to the Preferred Stock.

The Company expects to enter into discussion with The Noel Group, Inc. ("Noel"),
with a view of satisfying its obligations to the Preferred Stockholders in
accordance with the terms of its charter to the extent consistent with


                                                                    PAGE 7 OF 12
<PAGE>   8
the Company's resources. The Company may also enter into negotiations to modify
the terms of the Preferred Stock, although the Company has not yet determined to
do so. If such negotiations are commenced, they may result in an acceleration of
the redemption of the Preferred Stock or other modifications to the terms of the
Preferred Stock, provided the Company determines that such modifications are in
its interest.

The Company intends to fulfill its obligation to the Preferred Stockholders as
required by the Company's charter to the extent that the Company has cash
resources in excess of those required to operate its business. As the Company
does not currently have such excess resources, its ability to make payments on
account of the Preferred Stock in the future will depend on the Company's future
cash flow, the timing of the settlement of the liabilities recorded in the
financial statements of the Company, the outcome of the contemplated
negotiations with Noel described above, and the ability of the Company to obtain
additional financing. In addition, as the Company has agreed to notify the PBGC
prior to making any redemption payments; the Company's decision to make any such
payments will depend on the successful resolution of any issues which may arise
with the PBGC relating to the Company's unfunded liability to its defined
benefit plan.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULT OF OPERATIONS



                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THIRD QUARTER

Sales during the third quarter of 1997 totaled $5.0 million. Sales in the third
quarter of 1996 totaled $6.7 million. The sales for the third quarter of 1996
included the initial placement of a new program with a major customer. The third
quarter 1997 sales were impacted by store closings and product assortment
changes with key customers.

Gross margin during the third quarter of 1997 totaled $2.5 million as compared
with $3.5 million in the third quarter of 1996. Gross margin percentage for the
third quarter of 1997 was 50.0% as compared to 52.2% in 1996. The decrease in
gross margin percentage for the quarter is the result of product assortment
changes and store closings with key accounts.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 1997
totaled $1.1 million as compared to $1.8 million in the third quarter of 1996.
The reduction in selling, general and administrative expense in 1997 as compared
to 1996 was primarily the result of the lower corporate administrative headcount
and expense.

Interest expense incurred in connection with the credit facilities outstanding
during 1996 and through March 27, 1997 has been included in results of
discontinued operations as the respective credit facilities were required to be
repaid in full in connection with the sale of the Thread division. Interest
expense in 1997 included in results of continuing operations represents an
interest accrual related to a pension obligation.

The provision for income taxes during the third quarter of 1997 totaled $.6
million as compared to $.7 million during the same period last year. The
combined effective income tax rate in 1997 totaled 36.5% as compared to 38.5% in
1996. The combined effective income tax rates are higher than combined statutory
rates because of nondeductible goodwill.

Preferred dividends during the third quarter of 1997 totaled $.4 million as
compared to $.3 million during the same period in 1996. Preferred dividends are
accrued and compound at a rate of 6% per annum. No dividend payments have been
made by the Company. See Note 6 to the unaudited consolidated financial
statements.

YEAR-TO-DATE

Sales during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 totaled $14.5 million as
compared to $16.2 million during the comparable period in 1996. 1997 sales have
decreased due to store closings and product assortment changes by key accounts.
In addition, the third quarter of 1996 sales included the initial placement of a
new program with a major customer.

Gross margin during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 totaled $7.7
million as compared to $8.3 million during the comparable period in 1996. The
gross margin percentage during the first nine months of 1997 was 52.8% compared
to 51.0% for 1996. The improvement in 1997 is the result of favorable product
mix.


                                                                    PAGE 9 OF 12

Selling, general and administrative expense during the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 totaled $3.5 million as compared to $5.2 million during the
first nine months of 1996. The reduction in selling, general and administrative
expense in 1997 as compared to 1996 was primarily the result of the lower
corporate administrative headcount and expense.

Interest expense related to outstanding debt under former credit facilities is
classified as discontinued operations during the first nine months of 1997 and
1996.

The provision for income taxes during the first nine months of 1997 totaled $1.6
million as compared to $1.2 million during the comparable period in 1996. The
effective income tax rate in 1997 was 36.6% as compared to 38.8% during the
comparable period last year.

Preferred dividends accrued during the first nine months of 1997 totaled $1.1
million as compared to $1.0 million during the first nine months of 1996.


                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 1997, the Company's principal sources of liquidity included
cash and cash equivalents of $11.6 million and trade accounts receivable of $2.0
million. In connection with the sale of the Thread division, the Company
estimates that it will be obligated to pay approximately $8.5 million of income
taxes in March 1998.

In connection with the sale of the Thread division, all outstanding bank
indebtedness was repaid and the existing bank credit facility was terminated
without penalty.

Under the terms of the Company's charter, dividends are payable upon the
Preferred Stock when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of
legally available funds. In addition, the Preferred Stock is required to be
redeemed by the Company, to the extent of legally available funds, in
installments on or prior to March 1999, subject among other things to the
approval of the Company's banks. Prior to March 27, 1997, the Company did not
make any payments on account of the Preferred Stock (either dividend or
redemption) as the Company's lenders declined to approve such payments, however,
as of that date, the Company discharged the last of its credit facilities.
Consequently, the Company is now in default of its obligations to redeem the
Preferred Stock to the extent of its legally available funds. As of September
30, 1997, the accrued but unpaid dividends were $3.8 million and redemption
payments in arrears aggregated $12.9 million. Accrued but unpaid dividends are
added to the redemption value of the Preferred Stock and the total continues to
accrue interest at a compound rate of 6% per annum. In addition, the Company has
agreed to notify the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") thirty days
prior to taking certain actions, including any dividend or redemption payments
with respect to the Preferred Stock.

The Company expects to enter into discussion with The Noel Group, Inc. ("Noel"),
with a view of satisfying its obligations to the Preferred Stockholders in
accordance with the terms of its charter to the extent consistent with the
Company's resources. The Company may also enter into negotiations to modify the
terms of the Preferred Stock, although the Company has not yet determined to do
so. If such negotiations are commenced, they may result in an acceleration of
the redemption of the Preferred Stock or other modifications to the terms of the
Preferred Stock, provided the Company determines that such modifications are in
its interest.

The Company intends to fulfill its obligation to the Preferred Stockholders as
required by the Company's charter to the extent that the Company has cash
resources in excess of those required to operate its business. As the


                                                                   PAGE 10 OF 12
<PAGE>   11
Company does not currently have such excess resources, its ability to make
payments on account of the Preferred Stock in the future will depend on the
Company's future cash flow, the timing of the settlement of the liabilities
recorded in the financial statements of the Company, the outcome of the
negotiations with Noel described above, and the ability of the Company to obtain
additional financing. In addition, as the Company has agreed to notify the PBGC
prior to making any redemption payments; the Company's decision to make any such
payments will depend on the successful resolution of any issues which may arise
with the PBGC relating to the Company's unfunded liability to its defined
benefit plan.


                               IMPACT OF INFLATION

The Company's results are affected by the impact of inflation on operating
costs. Historically, the Company has used selling price adjustments, cost
containment programs and improved operating efficiencies to offset the otherwise
negative impact of inflation on its operations.
