              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 1999

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  period  ended  March 31, 1999 are not  necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending  December 31,
1999. 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, 1998.

NOTE 2:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE  OF  OPERATION:   Carlyle  Industries,   Inc.  ("The  Company")  and  its
subsidiaries distribute a line of buttons, craft and gift products.

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.

NOTE 5:  ARREARS 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 by its terms was
required to be redeemed by the Company in annual  installments  beginning  March
15, 1995 through  March 15, 1999,  subject among other things to the approval of
the  Company's  senior  lenders,  if any and to the extent of legally  available
funds as  determined  by the Board of  Directors.  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 its credit facility.
Consequently,  the  Company  was in  arrears  of its  obligations  to redeem the
Preferred Stock to the extent of its legally available funds.

On June 23,  1998 the  Company  paid  $12.5  million  to holders of its Series B
Preferred  stock of record as of June 22,  1998.  $10.1  million of this  amount
represented  the original  redemption  amount and $2.4 million  represented  the
increase in the required  redemption  payment  resulting  from  accumulated  and
unpaid dividends.

As of March 31, 1999, the Preferred Stock payment  arrearages  aggregated  $13.8
million  including  accrued  but unpaid  preferred  dividends  of $3.1  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.

The Company is engaged in discussions with the principal holder of the preferred
stock, Noel Group, Inc.  ("Noel"),  with a view to satisfying the balance of its
obligations to the holders of the Preferred  Stock in accordance  with the terms
of its  charter  and to the  extent  consistent  with the  Company's  resources.
Discussions  have dealt with the amount  and  timing of  payments  and  possible
modifications   of  the  Preferred   Stock  terms  and   conditions.   Any  such
modifications  would require the agreement of the Company and the holders of the
Preferred Stock.

The Company  intends to fulfill its  obligation  to the holders of the Preferred
Stock as  required by the  Company's  charter to the extent the Company has cash
resources in excess of those  required to operate its  business.  As the Company
believes that it 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 consolidated financial statements of the Company, the outcome of
the negotiations with Noel described above, the ability of the Company to obtain
additional financing and compliance with the Company's new Credit Facility which
presently  permits only specified  payment amounts including 25% of "excess cash
flow",  as defined in the agreement.  In addition,  as the Company has agreed to
notify the Pension  Benefit  Guaranty  Corporation  ("PBGC") prior to making any
redemption payment, 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,  if any, to its defined  benefit
plan. The Company is also exploring strategic  alternatives to redemption of the
Preferred Stock.

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



                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales during the first quarter of 1999 totaled $6.6 million.  Sales in the first
quarter  of  1998  totaled  $5.1  million  for  an  increase  of  $1.5  million.
Incremental sales contributed by acquired businesses totaled $2.2 million during
the first quarter of 1999. Somewhat offsetting this favorable comparison was the
effect of lower sales in existing lines of business  during the first quarter of
1999.  Approximately  $.5 million of this  reduction was the result of timing on
certain  orders which were shipped in 1998 during the first quarter but which in
1999 are being shipped in subsequent  quarters;  in addition,  approximately $.2
million of this  reduction was due to an opening order  shipment  which occurred
during the first quarter of 1998.

Gross margin  during the first  quarter of 1999 totaled $3.3 million as compared
with $2.6  million  in the  first  quarter  of 1998.  Incremental  gross  margin
contributed  by the acquired  businesses  totaled $.9 million.  The gross margin
percent  during the first  quarter of 1999 was 49.2% as compared to 50.6% during
the first  quarter of 1998.  The decrease in gross margin  percent was primarily
the result of the lower margins in the Westwater business.

Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  in the first  quarter  of 1999
totaled $2.0  million as compared to $1.1 million in the first  quarter of 1999.
Incremental selling, general and administrative expense incurred by the acquired
businesses totaled $.7 million; in addition,  the Company incurred $159 thousand
of consolidation costs in connection with the acquired  businesses,  which costs
were expensed during the quarter.

Net interest  expense  during the first quarter of 1999 totaled $198 thousand as
compared to net  interest  income of $97  thousand  during the first  quarter of
1998.  The  increase  in  interest  expense in 1999 as  compared to 1998 was the
result of bank debt  outstanding  beginning June 23, 1998 in connection with the
Preferred stock payment and also the subsequent acquisitions.

The  provision  for income  taxes  during the first  quarter of 1999 totaled $.4
million as  compared  to $ .6  million  during the same  period  last year.  The
combined  effective  income tax rate totaled  36.9% in the first quarter of 1999
and 36.6% in the first quarter of 1998. The combined  effective income tax rates
are higher than combined statutory rates because of nondeductible goodwill.

Preferred  dividends  during the first  quarter of 1999 totaled $197 thousand as
compared to $370 thousand  during the same period in 1998.  The  reduction  from
1998 was due to the partial redemption of preferred stock in June 1998.

First quarter results may not be indicative of future  quarterly  results due to
programs  with  major  customers  which may vary as to timing  and  amount  from
quarter to quarter.  In addition,  consolidation  within the Company's  customer
base may put further pressure on the Company's  revenue and operating results in
subsequent quarters.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At March 31, 1999, the Company's  principal  sources of liquidity  included cash
and cash  equivalents  of $97 thousand  and trade  accounts  receivable  of $4.2
million

Cash provided by operations during the three months ended March 31, 1999 totaled
$767 thousand.

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 by its terms was

As of March 31, 1999, the Preferred Stock payment  arrearages  aggregated  $13.8

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.

The Company is engaged in discussions  with Noel,  with a view to satisfying the
balance of its  obligations to the holders of the Preferred  Stock in accordance
with the terms of its charter and to the extent  consistent  with the  Company's
resources.  Discussions  have dealt with the amount and timing of  payments  and
possible  modifications  of the Preferred Stock terms and  conditions.  Any such
modifications  would require the agreement of the Company and the holders of the

which may arise with the PBGC relating to the Company's unfunded  liability,  if
any, to its  defined  benefit  plan.  The  Company is also  exploring  strategic
alternatives to redemption of the Preferred Stock.

In connection  with the  acquisition of Westwater  Enterprises  LLP,  contingent
payments  of up to $2  million  may  become  payable  upon  the  achievement  of
specified earnings levels or in the event of a change of control of the Company,
as defined in the Westwater acquisition agreement. The contingent payment period
covers the three years  ended  December  31,  2000 at which time the  contingent
payment period expires.


                                YEAR 2000 ISSUES

The Company has  implemented  a plan to address year 2000 issues.  The Company's
plan  includes  the  identification  and testing of its  information  technology
components and imbedded technology. In connection with this plan a detailed list
of hardware, software and other micro-processing technology has been compiled.

The Company's plan includes an evaluation of each  identified  item as compliant
or not compliant and the testing of each component. Certain noncompliant systems
have been  upgraded or replaced  and others are  scheduled  to be  replaced.  In
addition,   the  Company's  plan  includes  confirmation  with  its  significant
customers and suppliers  regarding their state of readiness with respect to year
2000 issues. The Company does not currently have complete information concerning
the year 2000 compliance  status of all of its major  customers and vendors.  In
the event  that any of the  Company's  significant  customers  or vendors do not
successfully and timely achieve year 2000 compliance,  the Company's business or
operations could be adversely affected.

The Company's  primary risks related to year 2000 issues are associated with the
failure of its management information systems, which include billing, production
scheduling,  raw material  ordering and financial  reporting.  In addition,  the
Company may be at risk if any of its significant customers or vendors experience
risk of failures related to year 2000 issues.

Based on information  currently  available,  management does not anticipate that
the Company will incur significant  operating  expenses or be required to invest
heavily in computer  system  improvements  to be year 2000  compliant.  The cost
associated  with the Company's year 2000 compliance is estimated to be less than
$50,000.  To the extent the Company's systems are not fully year 2000 compliant,
there can be no  assurance  that  potential  systems  interruptions  or the cost
necessary to update  software  would not have a material  adverse  effect on the
Company's  business,  financial  condition,  results of operations  and business
prospects.


                               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.
