              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
             Nine and Three Months Ended September 30, 1998 and 1997


(1)      The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
         include the accounts of Carlisle Companies Incorporated and its
         wholly-owned subsidiaries (together, the "Company"). Intercompany
         transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The
         unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
         prepared in accordance with Article 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the
         Securities and Exchange Commission and, as such, do not include all
         information required by generally accepted accounting principles.
         However, in the opinion of the Company, these financial statements
         contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring
         adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of
         September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, the results of its operations
         for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and
         1997, and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1998
         and 1997.


         While the Company believes that the disclosures presented are adequate
         to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these
         financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
         statements and notes included in the Company's 1997 Annual Report to
         Stockholders.

                     Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations


         In the third quarter of 1998, Carlisle continued to report record
quarterly sales and earnings. Sales of $378.0 million for the third quarter
ended September 30, 1998, reflect a 20% increase over 1997's third quarter sales
of $315.7 million. Net earnings rose 14% to $22.3 million, or $0.73 a share
(diluted) versus 1997 quarterly earnings of $19.5 million, or $0.63 a share,
surpassing previous records for quarterly sales and earnings. The continued
strong quarterly results brought the nine-month net earnings to $65.8 million,
or $2.15 a share (diluted) on $1,136.7 million in sales. These results represent
a 21% increase over 1997 nine-month sales of $940.9 million and a 22% increase
over 1997 nine-month earnings of $53.9 million, or $1.74 per share.

       Construction Materials segment third quarter sales of $109.1 million are
up 16% over 1997 third quarter sales of $94.4 million. For the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, sales grew to $274.5 million from $238.3 million in 1997.
Contributing to these sales increases are strong domestic roofing sales and
increased penetration in some markets. Also adding to 1998 sales is increased
sales of coatings and waterproofing, in part due to a recent European
acquisition. Pre-tax earnings of $17.4 million for the third quarter of 1998 are
a slight increase over third quarter 1997 of $17.0 million. On a year-to-date
basis, pre-tax earnings rose to $40.8 million, an increase of 10% over last
year's nine-month earnings of $37.0 million. Earnings growth did not fully
reflect strong sales growth due to a competitive market which prevented
recapturing raw material increases and a product mix which included a higher
proportion of lower margin product.

         Transportation Products segment sales increased 22% in the third
quarter of 1998, to $151.7 million from $124.2 million in the third quarter of
last year. In this quarter, pre-tax earnings increased 19% to $12.6 million
versus $10.6 million in 1997. Nine-month sales of $461.2 million in this segment
were up 19% over 1997 sales of $387.1 million. Pre-tax earnings of $42.3 million
in the recent nine month period exceed 1997 pre-tax earnings of $32.8 million by
29%. Earnings at the Company's engineered products operations were affected
adversely by work stoppages at General Motors. The third quarter impact was
$0.03 per share, which brings the year-to-date impact to $0.05 per share. The
specialized trailer operations experienced continued strong demand, particularly
in the construction markets. Sales and earnings at the wire operations continue
to be led by the sale of the Company's patented, high performance, Tufflite wire
to the aerospace industry. Results in the perishable cargo operations reflect
year-over-year improvements in manufacturing and consistent growth in container
leasing operations.

         General Industry segment sales increased 21% in the third quarter of
1998, to $117.2 million from $97.1 million in the third quarter of last year.
Pre-tax earnings increased 19% to $13.5 million in the third quarter of 1998
versus $11.3 million in the comparable quarter last year. For the nine months
ended September 30, 1998, sales climbed to $401.0 million, a 27% increase over
last year nine-month sales of $315.5 million. Nine-month pre-tax earnings in
this segment grew 19% to $47.9 million from $40.4 million. These increases in
sales and earnings were led by the Company's tire and wheel operations, which
continue to outperform 1997 results on increased volume to OEM and replacement
customers serving the trailer, lawn and garden, ATV and golf car markets, along
with improvements from the integration of several acquisitions made in 1997.
Additionally, the Company completed the acquisition of a distributor of
industrial and recreational tire and wheel assemblies, effective September 30,
1998. Sales and earnings of the Company's specialty electronics cable and
assembly operations benefited not only from robust industry growth, but also
from the March 1998 acquisition of a specialty cable manufacturer. In September
of 1998, the Company also completed the acquisition of a manufacturer of
microwave coaxial cable connectors and assemblies serving the
telecommunications, computer and test measurement and instrument industries.
Sales and earnings at the Company's foodservice and brush manufacturing
operations were up significantly over 1997 levels. Consolidations among U.S.
dairy processors continue to dampen sales and earnings of the Company's
stainless steel processing equipment operations.

         Working capital was $255.7 million at September 30, 1998 compared to
$250.7 million at June 30, 1998 and $203.4 million at September 30, 1997.

         During the last several years, and in the normal course of business,
the Company has replaced a substantial portion of its older computer programs
and systems with new systems that are Year 2000 compliant. With respect to the
remaining information systems, as well as the Company's embedded technology, the
Company has adopted a program (involving both internal personnel and third-party
consultation) of (i) assessment, (ii) remediation, and (iii) authentication. As
of this filing, the Company has substantially completed the assessment phase and
is pursuing appropriate remedial action for the systems determined to be
non-compliant. The authentication phase will include simulated testing in a Year
2000 environment. The estimated cost of the Company's completed and remaining
efforts is not expected to exceed $500,000.

         The Company has also initiated a formal communication process with its
significant suppliers and large customers and once the assessment phase is
completed, the Company will determine what remedial action should be taken
(including contingency plans).

         The Company expects to complete the remediation phase of its program by
January 1, 1999, with the authentication phase continuing throughout 1999. The
Company believes that upon completion of the program, the Year 2000 issue will
not pose a significant operational problem for its computer systems. However,
there can be no guarantee that the failure of third parties to become Year
2000-ready would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
condition or operations.

                       RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES


         The following table sets forth the Company's ratio of earnings to fixed
charges for periods indicated:

 Charges

</TABLE>



         For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges,
earnings are defined as earnings before income taxes plus fixed charges. Fixed
charges consist of interest expense (including capitalized interest) and the
portion of rental expense that is representative of the interest factor (deemed
to be one-third of minimum operating lease rentals). The earnings to fixed
charges calculation reflects the Company's proportionate share of income,
expense and fixed charges attributable to the Company's investment in
majority-owned unconsolidated subsidiaries and joint ventures.
