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 for
industry, primarily of rubber, plastics and metal content.  Its products include
both components used by other companies in the manufacture of capital and
consumer goods and those for the aftermarket.  The Company is the leading
producer, or among the leading producers, of many of its lines.

Sales of the Company's products are reported by distribution to the following
three industry segments: Construction Materials, Transportation Products and
General Industry.  The principal products produced and services rendered in each
of the industry segments include:

CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS--elastomeric membranes, metal roofing components,
adhesives and related products for roofing systems and water barrier
applications and outdoor recreation tiles;

TRANSPORTATION PRODUCTS--custom manufactured rubber and plastic products for the
automotive market, brake linings and pads for heavy duty trucks, trailers and
off-road vehicles, specialty friction products, brakes and actuation systems for
construction equipment, refrigerated containers, insulated wire products,
specialized lowbed transport trailers and specialized dump bodies and trailers;

GENERAL INDUSTRY--molded plastic foodservice products, small pneumatic tires,
stamped and roll-formed wheels, medical monitoring devices, insulated wire
products and stainless steel in-plant processing equipment.


                                        2
<PAGE>

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):

Transportation Products     278.9          200.2          177.0
General Industry            235.3          203.9          186.7
                         --------       --------       --------
Total                    $  822.5       $  692.7       $  611.3
</TABLE>

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.  Inasmuch as some of the Company's customers are other
manufacturers of relatively significant size, marketing methods in 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, transportation products and general industry segments.
The Company believes, though, that energy sources are secure and sufficient
quantities of raw materials can be obtained through normal sources to avoid
interruption of production in 1996.

Patents, trademarks and licenses held by the Company generally are not
considered significant to the successful conduct of most of the segments'
businesses.

In each industry segment, the Company is engaged in businesses, and its products
serve markets, which generally are highly competitive.  Product lines serving
most markets tend to be price competitive;   all lines compete not only on
pricing, but also on service and product performance.  No industry segment is
dependent upon a single customer, or a few customers, the loss of any one or
more of which would have a material adverse effect on the segment.

Order Backlog, believed to be firm, was $160.7 million at December 31, 1995 and
$103.9 million at December 31, 1994.  Although the majority of the increase is
related to operations acquired in 1995, strong backlog positions were evident in
all major operations within the construction materials and transportation
products segments, as well as specialty tires and wheels operations.  Backlog
levels for the


                                        3
<PAGE>

Company's high performance wire products were more than 100% higher than a year
ago.

Research and Development expenses increased to $12.3 million in 1995 compared to
$11.9 million in 1994 and $11.2 million in 1993.  Friction and braking systems
operations incurred the largest increase in expenses, as a number of new product
introductions and test programs were ongoing during the year.  Custom plastics
and rubber operations also incurred additional product development expenses
through their equipment acquisitions and plant alignment initiatives in 1995.
The divestiture and closure of certain operations, which were part of the
general industry segment in 1994, partially offset the increase in research and
development expenses.

The average number of persons employed by the Company during 1995 was 5,750
compared to 4,800 in 1994.

The businesses of the construction materials and transportation products
industry segments are not seasonal in nature.  Within the general industry
segment, distribution of lawn and garden products generally reach peak sales
volume during the first two quarters of the year.

In 1995, the Company completed four acquisitions.  In April, the Company
acquired the assets of Thunderline Corporation, a producer of rubber parts for
the automotive industry.  In June, the Company acquired by merger Trail King
Industries, Inc., the leading manufacturer of specialized lowbed trailers used
in the transportation of construction equipment.  In September, the Company
acquired the assets of Ti-Brook, Inc. and Ti-Brook South, Inc., manufacturers of
a variety of specialized dump bodies and trailers.  In October, the Company
acquired Walker Stainless Equipment Company, Inc. and two related corporations,
manufacturers of transportation trailers for liquid food products and in-plant
processing equipment.  These acquisitions will add principally to the Company's
transportation products segment.

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.

Information on the Company's revenues, operating profit or loss and identifiable
assets by industry segments for the last three fiscal years, the nature and
effect of the restatement of such information as a result of changes made in the
way the Company's products or services are grouped into industry segments and
the principal products in each segment is as follows:

As of December 31, 1995, the Company owned an additional facility.  It is
related to a wire and cable business sold in early 1988 and totals 120,000
square feet.  The facility is being held for sale.  An additional 399,000 sq.
ft. is leased by the Company, under various agreements, principally for
warehousing and distribution.  All of the manufacturing and most of the office
and warehousing space is of masonry and steel construction and most are equipped
with automatic sprinkler systems.  Approximately one-third of the owned office,
manufacturing and warehousing space has been constructed within the last twenty
years; the remaining buildings are from twenty to seventy years old and have
been maintained in good condition.

ITEM 3.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In connection with the Trail King acquisition, the Company knowingly assumed the
liabilities of the former Trail King relating to the case UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA V. TRAIL KING INDUSTRIES, INC., Case No. 94-4238, filed October 20, 1994
in the United States District Court, District of South Dakota.  The case
involves allegations by the Environmental Protection Agency that the former
Trial King violated certain reporting requirements of the Clean Water Act.  The
Company has taken appropriate remedial action and believes that Trail King is
now operating in full compliance with the Clean Water Act and the regulations
thereunder.  While it is difficult to estimate the future


                                        7

cost of this litigation, the Company believes that it has established adequate
reserves and that the matter will not have a material adverse impact on
operating results and financial position.

Except as described in the preceding paragraph, as of December 31, 1995, other
than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, which is being
handled in the ordinary course of business, neither the Company nor any of its
subsidiaries is a party to, nor are any of their properties subject to any
material pending legal proceedings, nor are any such proceedings known to be
contemplated by governmental authorities.

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

The Company achieved record sales and earnings in 1995.  Sales in 1995 were
$822.5 million, an increase of 19% over 1994's sales of $692.7 million.  Net
earnings increased to $44.1 million, or $2.82 a share, a 24% increase over
1994's earnings of $35.6 million, or $2.30 a share.  Each of the Company's three
operating segments recorded improvements over the strong operating results
reported a year ago.  While raw material cost increases and operational start-up
costs affected gross margins during 1995, the Company was successful in
controlling selling and administrative expenses allowing for improvement in
overall operating margins.

During 1995, the Company completed four acquisitions, adding principally to its
transportation products segment.  In April, the Company acquired the assets of
Thunderline, a producer of rubber parts for the automotive industry.  The
acquisition added new products and customers to the Company's custom-molded
plastics and rubber parts operations, as well as the ability to manufacture and
market silicone rubber components.  In June, the Company completed the
acquisition of Trail King Industries, the leading manufacturer of specialized
lowbed trailers used in the transportation of construction equipment and in
other commercial applications.  In early September, Trail King finalized the
complementary acquisition of Ti-Brook, Inc. and Ti-Brook South, Inc., which
design, manufacture and distribute a variety of specialized dump bodies and
trailers used in the transportation of coal, palletized loads, refuse, and other
products.  In October, the Company acquired Walker Stainless Equipment, Inc., a
leading supplier of transportation trailers for liquid food products.  Walker
also designs and manufactures in-plant processing equipment for the food,
pharmaceutical and chemical industries.  The four acquisitions should generate
approximately $140 million in sales in 1996.

SALES in 1995 of $822.5 million were $129.8 million higher than 1994's sales of
$692.7 million, a 19% increase.  Sales in 1993 were $611.3 million.  A summary
of sales by operating segment is presented below.

CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS segment sales increased 7% in 1995 to $308.3 million
compared to $288.6 million in 1994.  Domestic non-residential roofing sales
accounted for the increase, as 5% more square feet of roofing membrane was
shipped in 1995 versus 1994.  International operations were restructured in late
1995 after continued disappointing performance in most non-domestic markets.  In
addition, poor results from the Company's metal roofing business led to the
decision to sell its West Coast operations and re-focus its efforts on eastern
and midwestern markets.  Segment earnings in 1995 increased 5% over 1994's
excellent results, to $36.7 million.  Margins were unfavorably impacted by
increased sales of lower margin items and raw material cost increases which were
unable to be passed along to customers.  However, the operations were able to
maintain comparable profitability, despite continued pricing pressure, through
effective cost control and productivity improvements.  Selling and
administrative expenses in 1995, as a ratio to sales, decreased nearly 5%
compared to 1994.

TRANSPORTATION PRODUCTS segment sales reached $278.9 million in 1995, a 39%
increase over 1994.  Although sales from operations acquired in 1995 generated
the majority of the growth, every operation in the segment recorded sales gains.
Segment earnings improved an outstanding 50% in 1995 over 1994, while absorbing
the first-year financial results experienced at the Company's container
manufacturing operation.  Despite a weaker domestic automotive market in 1995
versus 1994, new products and additional capacity combined for an increase of
over 12% in sales from the Company's custom-molded and extruded plastics and
rubber parts operations.  Custom plastics and rubber operations achieved a 15%
earnings improvement while absorbing nearly $1.0 million of non-recurring plant
realignment and equipment movement costs in 1995.  Heavy duty friction sales to
truck and trailer manufacturers declined slightly in 1995 compared to a very
strong 1994, as build levels began to slow in the second half of the year.
Aftermarket sales were consistent with the prior year as very competitive
pricing persisted.  Industrial friction and brake products operations both
experienced solid sales growth in 1995, from continued penetration in
international markets and new product offerings. Overall, earnings from friction
and brake products operations improved over 25% from 1994.  Efficiency gains and
increased absorption accounted for most of the improvement.  In addition, 1994's
results were adversely impacted by the closure of brake products' Brazilian
operations.  Specialized trailers and dump body operations acquired in 1995
performed at expectations.  Sales of high-performance aircraft wire increased
nearly 15% over 1994, returning to 1993 levels.  Earnings results continued to
progress closer to acceptable returns due to the operations renewed focus on
manufacturing processes.  The Company's refrigerated container leasing joint
venture continued to increase its market penetration and earnings in 1995.

GENERAL INDUSTRY segment sales increased $31.4 million to $235.3 million in 1995
compared to 1994, a 15% improvement.  The segment sales comparisons were
unfavorably impacted in 1995 compared to 1994 by approximately $6.7 million due
to the divestitures of DSI, NETstor, and Vistatech.  Segment earnings increased
39% in 1995 versus 1994.  The operations which were divested or closed prior to
the start of 1995 incurred losses of $3.1 million in 1994.  Another record
performance by the Company's specialty tires and wheels operations in 1995
resulted in sales increases of nearly $10 million compared to 1994.  Increased
revenues were due to continued market share gains in lawn and garden, trailer
and golf car equipment.  Replacement sales also increased in 1995, an area where
improvements are again expected in 1996.  Specialty tires and wheels operations
posted a 14% earnings improvement over 1994's results.  Capacity gains and
production improvements at the operations manufacturing site in China helped
offset higher raw material costs, resulting in margins consistent with 1994.
Foodservice operations benefitted from increased market penetration and expanded
product offerings through its strong distribution network, to achieve record
sales and earnings results for 1995.  Domestic and international growth combined
to increase sales by 28% over 1994.  Improvements in operating expense ratios
offset a small decline in gross margins, contributing to overall earnings
improvement of 27% over 1994.  The Company's December, 1994 acquisition of
Sparta Brush contributed positively to both sales and earnings gains in
foodservice operations.  Sales and earnings of high speed data wire and cable
products showed strong improvements in 1995.  In addition, strong backlog levels
existed at year-end.  New product offerings, combined with effective cost
containment programs, generated positive results at the Company's medical
monitoring devices operation.

GROSS MARGINS as a percent of sales were 24.0% in 1995 compared to 25.5% in 1994
and 25.9% in 1993.  Globally depressed selling prices and higher than
anticipated material costs in the first year of production at the Company's
container manufacturing operation, as well as acquisitions of lower gross margin
businesses, resulted in the decline in margins in 1995.  Across most operations,
and particularly those in the construction materials segment, raw material costs
rose in 1995, but only limited success was achieved in passing these increased
costs through to customers.  However, higher production volumes allowed
manufacturing expenses to be more effectively absorbed, resulting in consistent
gross margins at most operations in 1995.

SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE expenses declined as a percent of sales to 13.3% in
1995, from 14.9% in 1994 and 16.1% in 1993.  The strong performance in
controlling expenses was evidenced by the fact that selling and administrative
expenses rose only $6.2 million to support the 1995 sales increase of $129.8
million.  All major operations reported lower expense ratios reflecting the
continuation of


                                       12
<PAGE>

aggressive cost containment programs.  Acquisitions of operations in 1995 with
comparably lower-cost selling and administrative expense structures also
contributed to the improved ratios.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT expenses increased to $12.3 million in 1995 compared to
$11.9 million in 1994 and $11.2 million in 1993.  Friction and braking systems
operations incurred the largest increase in expenses, as a number of new product
introductions and test programs were ongoing during the year.  Custom plastics
and rubber operations also incurred additional product development expenses
through equipment acquisition and plant realignment initiatives in 1995.  The
divestiture and closure of certain operations, which were part of the general
industry segment in 1994, partially offset the increase in research and
development expenses.

INTEREST EXPENSE was $6.1 million in 1995, compared to $4.6 million in 1994 and
$4.3 million in 1993.  In June of 1995, the Company assumed $3.8 million of
long-term debt related to the acquisition of Trail King.  Also, in the second
half of 1994, the Company secured $8.0 million of low rate industrial
development bonds to finance equipment purchases for its container manufacturing
operation.  These actions along with higher interest rates in 1995, contributed
to the higher interest expense for the year.

INCOME TAXES were computed for financial statement purposes at 39.5% in 1995,
the same rate used in 1994 and 1993.  The increase in the corporate federal tax
rate legislated in 1993 is reflected in each year's income tax rates for the
Company.  An analysis of income taxes for each year is presented in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

ORDER BACKLOG was $160.7 million at December 31, 1995 and $103.9 million at
December 31, 1994.  Although the majority of the increase is related to
operations acquired in 1995, stronger backlog positions were evident at all
major operations within the construction materials and transportation products
segments, as well as specialty tires and wheels operations.  Backlog levels for
the Company's high performance wire products were more than 100% higher than a
year ago.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE were $126.6 million at year end 1995 compared to $99.4
million at the end of 1994.  Higher fourth quarter sales revenue at each of the
Company's major operations accounted for slightly more than half of the higher
receivable balances, with acquisitions made in 1995 accounting for the remainder
of the increase, or approximately $12.9 million.  Receivables continue to be
aggressively managed across the Company, as the average number of days accounts
receivable remained outstanding declined 7% from the prior year.

INVENTORIES valued primarily by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method were $121.7
million at December 31, 1995 compared to $74.9 million at


                                       13
<PAGE>

December 31, 1994.  Nearly 65% of the $46.8 million increase relates to
acquisitions made in 1995.  The remainder of the increase in year-end
inventories is attributable to general industry segment and container
manufacturing operations.  Specialty tires and wheels operations account for
$7.7 million of the Company's increased inventory levels at year-end, reflecting
strong demand and backlog as well as the operations' efforts to be more
responsive to its markets, which are cyclically stronger in the first half of
the year.  Foodservice plastics operations also recorded higher inventory levels
at the end of 1995, further strengthening its ability to effectively fill
customers' orders while adding to its product offerings.

WORKING CAPITAL was $153.7 million at December 31, 1995 and $164.7 million at
December 31, 1994.  Cash balances decreased $67.8 million at year end 1995
versus 1994 due principally to the Company's active acquisition program.
Increased end of year sales and production activity is reflected in both
receivables and inventory balances, as well as current liabilities at December
31, 1995.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES totaled $37.5 million in 1995 and $31.1 million in 1994.
Construction materials operations nearly completed a new, state-of-the-art,
rubber mixing system.  Actual production is planned to begin in February 1996
with full production expected by April 1, 1996.  The new system will allow for
significant capacity increases and improve raw material and production
efficiencies.  Other significant projects in 1995 included the purchase of
additional molds and assets to expand specialty tires and wheels operations in
China, expansion of molding production capabilities at custom plastics and
rubber operations, and the purchase of presses and molds to increase capacity
and product availability for foodservice plastics operations.  In 1994, the
major components of capital spending were the purchase of machinery and
equipment for the Company's container manufacturing operation, and the purchase
of manufacturing equipment to establish specialty tires and wheels operations in
China.

CASH FLOWS provided by operating activities were $55.7 million in 1995 compared
to $72.6 million in 1994.  Planned increases in inventory quantity levels,
principally in the general industry segment, resulted in a decrease in operating
cash at year-end.  Investing activities, primarily Company acquisitions and
capital expenditures, increased in 1995 to $100.7 million versus $38.8 million
in 1994.  The Company purchased $9.4 million of treasury stock and paid out
$12.9 million in dividends in 1995.  In 1994, the Company obtained $8.0 million
in long-term financing, purchased $10.9 million of treasury stock and paid out
$11.6 million in dividends.  In addition, $11.0 million of treasury stock was
issued for the acquisition of the Sparta Brush Company.  The Company's primary
liquidity and capital sources are its operations, bank lines of credit and long-
term borrowings.  The Company continues to have substantial borrowing capacity
and financial flexibility.


                                       14

The Company recognizes the importance of its responsibilities toward matters of
environmental concern.  Programs are in place to monitor and test facilities and
surrounding environments, as well as to recycle materials where practical.  The
Company has not incurred any material charges relating to environmental matters
in 1995 or prior years, and none are anticipated in the foreseeable future.

THE 1996 OUTLOOK is good.  In all major markets the Company's competitive
position is sound.  Continuation of the attention to fundamental practices of
cost control, quality improvement, product development, and customer service,
combined with the acquisition of businesses that strive to adhere to these
operating principles, should result in a year of solid performance.

Non-residential roofing markets, long dominated by repair and replacement
demand, should see an improving new construction roofing market with favorable
interest rates.

In the transportation markets, lower interest rates should provide for stable
automobile demand, while success in broadening the Company's base of customers
for custom-molded plastics and rubber products should result in another year of
improved performance.  While a decline in demand by original equipment customers
of friction products is expected, an increase in demand for aftermarket products
should result.  A fair domestic market outlook combined with improving
international markets should provide the opportunity for strong performance.
Solid full-year results are expected from the Company's specialty trailer
operations.  Acquired facilities in the northeast and southeast are expected to
result in additional penetration of eastern U.S. markets for steel deck
trailers.  A steady improvement in the high performance wire and cable business
is expected as gains in market share continue, derived from superior product
advantages.  Continuing productivity gains and strong demand should result in
strong growth in the Company's refrigerated container business.  Continuation of
an aggressive market penetration approach should result in another year of
improvement in performance at the Company's refrigerated container leasing joint
venture.

The Company's leading position in specialty tires and wheels is expected to
result in another record year supported by increased production capacity at its
manufacturing site in China.  Foodservice operations are expected to improve
upon 1995's record results through additional product offerings and enhanced
penetration of international markets.  Strong demand for stainless steel in-
plant processing equipment is expected in 1996, combined with various
operational improvements at these operations, should produce solid financial
results.


                                       15
<PAGE>

Overall, the outlook for 1996 and beyond is good.  The order backlog is strong
and financial resources are secure.  A tapering down of economic activity in
domestic markets should not prevent the Company from producing improved results.
The variety of markets served and growing international activities should
sustain the Company's growth momentum.

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 on the equity method.  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.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS.  The Company generally considers securities with a
remaining maturity of three months or less when acquired to be 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 assigned 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 AND OTHER INTANGIBLES.  Patents and other intangibles, recorded at cost,
amounted to $8.1 million and $10.1 million at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively (net of accumulated amortization of $11.0 million and $7.8 million,
respectively), and are amortized over their remaining lives averaging five
years.  Goodwill, representing the excess of acquisition cost over the fair
value of specifically identifiable assets acquired, was $29.0 million and $8.2
million at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively (net of accumulated
amortization of $1.1 million and $0.6 million,


                                       21
<PAGE>

respectively), and is amortized on a straight-line basis over various periods
not exceeding 40 years.

PRODUCT WARRANTIES.  The Company offers warranties on the sales of certain of
its products and maintains reserves to provide for estimated future claims.
Such reserves are established 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 $2.8 million, $2.6
million, and $2.3 million, in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

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 it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred
tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.

NET EARNINGS PER SHARE.  Net earnings per share of common stock are based on the
weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares
outstanding during the period, assuming the
exercise of stock options.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS.  The estimated fair market values of the
Company's financial instruments approximate their recorded values.

RECLASSIFICATIONS.  Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years'
information to conform to 1995 presentation.

INVENTORIES

stock split which was issued on June 1, 1993, to shareholders of record on May
11, 1993.  The split resulted in the issuance of 9,832,656 new shares of common
stock and the reissuance of 2,175,479 shares of common stock held in treasury.
All references in the financial statements to average number of shares
outstanding and related prices, per share amounts, and stock option plan data
have been restated to reflect the split.

The Company has a Stockholders' Rights Plan which is designed to protect
stockholder 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 stockholders 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.

Common stockholders 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.

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.

and/or shares of restricted stock.  The Program also has a stock option plan
available to certain employees who are not eligible to receive cash or
restricted stock awards.

In 1995, 16,196 shares of restricted stock were issued and 4,537 shares were
surrendered under the terms of the Program.  At December 31, 1995 an additional

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


The Board of Directors
Carlisle Companies Incorporated:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Carlisle
Companies Incorporated and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the
related consolidated statements of earnings, shareholders' equity, and cash
flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements and the
supplementary notes referred to below are the responsibility of the Company's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements and supplementary notes based on our audits.  The
consolidated financial statements of Carlisle Companies Incorporated and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 were audited by other auditors whose report
dated February 2, 1994 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audit 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
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Carlisle Companies Incorporated
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.  The supplementary notes to the consolidated
financial statements listed in Item 14 are presented for purposes of complying
with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and are not part of the
basic financial statements.  These supplementary notes have been subjected to
the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements
and, in our opinion, fairly state in all material respects the financial data
required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Board of Directors
Carlisle Companies Incorporated


Under date of February 2, 1994, we reported on the consolidated balance sheet of
Carlisle Companies Incorporated and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993, and
the related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders' equity, and cash
flows for the year then ended as contained in the annual report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1993.  In connection with our audit of the
aforementioned consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the
related supplementary notes and financial statement schedules as listed in Item
14 of the Form 10-K.  These supplementary notes and financial statement
schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these supplementary notes and
financial statement schedules based on our audits.

In our opinion, such supplementary notes and financial statement schedules, when
considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a
whole, present fairly, in all  material respects, the information set forth
therein.
