Unaudited Consolidating Condensed Financial Information of Guarantor
Subsidiaries

Certain subsidiaries of the Company (as listed below, collectively the
"Guarantor Subsidiaries") have guaranteed fully and unconditionally, on a joint
and several basis, the obligation to pay principal and interest under the
Company's Senior Credit Agreement with The Chase Manhattan Bank, NA, ("Chase").

The Company plans to issue publicly a new series of notes ("New Notes") pursuant
to the Company's Shelf Registration Statement which will be guaranteed by the
Guarantor Subsidiaries. When the New Note Series are issued, the Guarantor
Subsidiaries will also guarantee the Company's existing publicly registered
Medium-term notes and Senior notes (the "Notes").

The T&N Holding Companies (as listed above) are wholly owned subsidiaries of the
Company and were incorporated in January 1998 in order to effectuate the
Company's acquisition of T&N plc. These subsidiaries have no operations and act
solely as holding companies of subsidiaries which will not provide a guarantee
fully and unconditionally on a joint and several basis, the obligation to pay
principal and interest of the New Notes or the Notes (the "Guarantees").

In addition, certain other wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, the FM
subsidiaries (as listed above), will provide the Guarantees. The FM Subsidiaries
are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements for all periods
presented in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K dated December 31, 1997.

The Fel-Pro Subsidiaries (as listed above) were acquired on February 24, 1998,
are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company and also will provide the
Guarantees.

The financial statements of Felt Products Mfg. Co. were filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 8-K on April 17, 1998, since the
stock of Felt Products Mfg. Co. was pledged as collateral for the Notes. On June
10, 1998, Felt Products Mfg. Co. declared a dividend to the Company whereby
substantially all of its assets were transferred to the Company. As a result of
the dividend to its parent, Felt Products Mfg. no longer meets the substantial
collateral threshold of Rule 3-10 of the Securities and Exchange Commission's
Regulation S-X. Therefore, the Company will no longer file separate financial
statements of Felt Products Mfg Co.

In lieu of providing separate audited financial statements for the Guarantor
Subsidiaries, the Company has included the accompanying unaudited consolidating
condensed financial statements based on the Company's understanding of the SEC's
interpretation and application of Rule 3-10 of the Securities and Exchange
Commission's Regulation S-X and Staff Accounting Bulletin 53. Management does
not believe that separate financial statements of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are
material to investors.  Therefore, separate financial statements and other
disclosures concerning the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented.
