ITEM 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On September 30, 1997, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and
liabilities of Fiberite, Inc. (collectively with its parent Fiberite Holdings,
Inc. "Fiberite"), a leading worldwide supplier of advanced composite materials
for aerospace, industrial and recreational applications, for $344 million in
cash (the "Fiberite Acquisition"). The assets and liabilities were acquired from
Stamford FHI Acquisition Corp., which acquired the right to purchase Fiberite on
April 20, 1997 from its previous owners. The assets acquired include all of the
businesses of Fiberite, except for its satellite materials business. Annualized
sales in 1997 for the acquired businesses are estimated at approximately $260
million. The Fiberite Acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting and the results of operations will be included in the
Company's consolidated statement of income beginning October 1, 1997.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To Fiberite Holdings, Inc.:

    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Fiberite
Holdings, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996
and the related consolidated statement of operations, stockholders' equity and
cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audit.

    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 audit provides 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 Fiberite Holdings, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                            FIBERITE HOLDINGS, INC.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)  ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

     Fiberite Holdings, Inc. (Holdings) was formed by D.L.J. Merchant Banking
Partners, L.P. (DLJ), 90% owner, Carlisle Group, L.P. (Carlisle), 9% owner and
Steeple International, 1% owner to purchase the common stock of Fiberite, Inc.
(Fiberite). On October 6, 1995, Fiberite acquired all the outstanding stock of
ICI Composites Inc. (ICI) and all of the assets of an affiliated German company
in a transaction accounted for as a purchase. For tax purposes, the transaction
was accounted for as an asset purchase under Section 338(h)(10) of the Internal
Revenue Code. Prior to its purchase by Fiberite, ICI Composites Inc. was a
wholly-owned subsidiary of ICI American Holdings Inc. (ICI American), the
ultimate parent of which is Imperial Chemical Industries PLC, headquartered in
the United Kingdom. See Note 17.

     Fiberite manufactures advanced composite materials which combine high
performance reinforcement fibers with resins. Sales are made to commercial
entities and to prime contractors with the United States Government. The
commercial entities and prime contractors use the composite materials as raw
materials in their production process.

(2)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  A. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings,
Fiberite, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Fiberite Europe-GmbH, and Fiberite
France (all of which taken together are hereinafter referred to as Fiberite.)
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.


  B. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     Fiberite considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.


  C. INVENTORIES

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost includes labor,
materials and production overhead. Cost is determined using the average cost
method. Market is based upon current sales price less distribution and selling
costs. Provisions are made currently for obsolete and slow-moving inventory.


                                       10

<PAGE>



  D. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

     Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, which includes interest to
finance the acquisition and construction of major capital additions during the
construction and development stage. Interest capitalized in the year ended
December 31, 1996 was $0.2 million. For financial statement purposes,
depreciation is recorded on the straight-line basis, without any residual value,
based on useful lives of 20 years for buildings and 3 to 10 years for machinery
and equipment. For tax reporting purposes, depreciation is computed on both
accelerated and straight-line methods.

     Expenditures for major renewals and betterments are capitalized, while
expenditures for maintenance and repairs which do not improve assets or extend
their useful lives are charged to expense as incurred. Repair and maintenance
expenses charged to cost of operations were $3.3 million and $3.0 million for
fiscal 1996 and the nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively. Gains or
losses on the disposition of fixed assets are included in operations as
incurred.

  E. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

     Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated
useful lives of the assets, and consist of backlog (1 year), assembled workforce
(12 years), and patents, technology and other assets (3-32 years) acquired in
connection with business acquisitions. Fiberite reviews intangible and other
long lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the
expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) from an
asset to be held and used in operations is less than the carrying value of the
asset, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount of the difference between
the carrying value and the fair value. Amortization expense of $1.9 million and
$2.1 million was recorded in fiscal 1996 and the nine months ended September 30,
1997, respectively. Accumulated amortization was $3.3 million and $0.5 million
at December 31, 1996 and September 30, 1997, respectively.


  F. DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS

     Costs totaling $5.9 million associated with the issuance of Fiberite's debt
in October 1995 (see Note 10), were capitalized and are being amortized over the
terms of the debt on a straight-line basis. Amortization of these debt issuance
costs amounted to $1.0 million and $0.7 million in fiscal 1996, and the nine
month period ended September 30, 1997, respectively. Approximately $4.6 million
of deferred financing costs ($2.8 million net of tax)(unaudited) were
transferred to Stamford FHI Acquisition Corp. ("Stamford") as part of the
acquisition by Stamford. See Note 17.


  G.  NOTES PAYABLE

        Notes payable represent amounts owed to a bank by Stamford incurred as
part of the acquisition of Fiberite Holdings Inc. The notes bear interest at
variable rates and are due in October and November 1997.

is the local currency, are translated into U.S. dollars at the fiscal year end
exchange rate. The related translation adjustments are recorded as cumulative
translation adjustments, a separate component of stockholders' deficit. Revenues
and expenses are translated using average exchange rates prevailing during the
year. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in net income
(loss).

  I. REVENUE RECOGNITION

     Sales are recorded when products are shipped and title passes to the
customer. Provisions are made currently for estimated product returns.

  J. INCOME TAXES

     Fiberite uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes
prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between
the financial statement carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under
SFAS No. 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in
tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date.

  K. POST-RETIREMENT HEALTHCARE AND LIFE INSURANCE BENEFITS

     Fiberite provides certain healthcare and life insurance benefits for
retired employees. Employees covered by Fiberite sponsored plans become eligible
for those benefits when they reach normal or early retirement age while working
for Fiberite. These benefits are subject to deductibles, copayment provisions,
and other limitations. Fiberite reserves the right to change or terminate
benefit plans at any time (see Note 9).

  L. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

     Fiberite accounts for its stock-based compensation plans under Accounting
Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25. Effective January 1, 1996, Fiberite
adopted the disclosure option of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," (SFAS No. 123) which requires
that companies which do not elect to account for stock-based compensation
through the statement of operations as prescribed by the statement, shall
disclose the pro forma effects on net income (loss) and net income (loss) per
share as if SFAS No. 123 had been adopted. (See note 14).

  M. USE OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and

                                       12

<PAGE>



assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

  N. INTERIM PERIODS

    The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. All
information as of and for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and
1997, is unaudited and, in the opinion of management, contains all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of such information for the respective periods.

(3)  PURCHASE ACCOUNTING

  PURCHASE OF SIMMACO

     In May 1996, Fiberite completed the purchase of equipment, formulations,
and other specific assets of Simmaco SARL (Simmaco) for approximately $2.0
million. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the tangible
assets acquired of $1.2 million was allocated to the intangible assets acquired.
Simmaco, located in Courcelles Les-Lens, France, manufactures and markets
engineering grade bulk molding compounds produced from vinyl ester, polyester
resins and fiberglass reinforcement.

(4)  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     Under the terms of a management contract with DLJ and Carlisle, Fiberite
pays each entity annual management fees of $250,000. Aggregate 1996 management
fees earned by DLJ and Carlisle were $500,000.

     Fiberite performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial
condition but does not require collateral to support trade receivables. The
allowance for doubtful accounts is based on factors pertaining to the credit
risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. The
allowance for returns and allowances is based on Fiberite's knowledge of
specific potential returns, historical trends and other information.

(9)  EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

     The following describes employee benefits provided by Fiberite in the
United States. Fiberite does not provide retirement benefit plans for its
employees in Germany and France.

  DEFINED CONTRIBUTION 401(K) PLANS

      Fiberite sponsors two 401(k) plans, the Fiberite, Inc. 401(k) Plan I (Plan
I) and the Fiberite, Inc. 401(k) Plan II (Plan II). Except for union employees
at the Winona and Orange plants, all remaining eligible employees participate in
Plan I. The eligible Winona union employees participate in Plan II and the
Orange union employees are not eligible to participate in either plan.

     Both Plan I and Plan II provide that employees are 100% vested at all
times. There is no minimum age requirement and eligibility begins after three
months service time.

     Plan I allows discretionary employer contributions. Unless otherwise
determined by a resolution of the board of directors, the employer contribution
is 50% of each participant's pre-tax deferrals, limited to a total employer
contribution for each employee of 2.5% of the employee's annual compensation.
For fiscal 1996, employer contributions to this plan (or the plan provided by
the predecessor) were $384,000, respectively. Plan II does not permit employer
contributions.

  FIBERITE, INC. PENSION PLAN

     With the exception of certain management personnel, all salaried employees
of Fiberite and all hourly employees not covered by union plans or the Fiberite,
Inc. Service Related Pension Plan described below are covered under the
Fiberite, Inc. Pension Plan, which is a defined benefit pension plan. The plan
provides full benefits to all employees who retire either at age 62 after 10
years of service or age 55 with 25 years of service. Employees have no vested
right to plan benefits prior to five years of service with Fiberite. The plan is
funded, on a current basis, to meet the requirements of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974.

  FIBERITE, INC. SERVICE RELATED PENSION PLAN

     Union employees at the Winona and Delano plants are covered under the
Fiberite, Inc. Service Related Pension Plan, which is a defined benefit pension
plan. The plan provides full benefits to all employees who retire either at age
62 after 10 years of service or age 55 with 25 years of service. Employees have
no vested right to plan benefits prior to five years of service with Fiberite.
The plan is funded, on a current basis, to meet the requirements of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

Net periodic pension cost included the following components (in thousands):

  POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS

     Fiberite offers medical, dental and life insurance benefits to retired
employees and eligible dependents of the retired employees of Fiberite. Retirees
pay insurance premiums based on their years of service with Fiberite and their
age. Fiberite funds the post-retirement costs on a current basis.

     The 1996 amount assumes a healthcare cost trend rate for pre-age 65
benefits of 9.5% for indemnity insurance and 7.5% for HMO coverage and post-age
65 benefits of 8.5% for indemnity insurance and 7.5% for HMO coverage. These
rates were assumed to decrease each year to 5.0% by 2035 and remain at that
level thereafter. The assumed discount rate and rate of increase in compensation
levels was 7.25% and 6.50%, respectively. The effect of a one percentage point
increase in the assumed healthcare cost trend rates for each future year would
increase the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation as of December 31,
1996 by $483,000. The effect of this change on the aggregate of the service and
interest cost components of the net periodic post-retirement cost would have
been an increase of $53,000 for 1996.

  OTHER BENEFITS

     Fiberite offers its employees several standard benefits including medical
insurance through either an indemnity plan or a Health Maintenance Organization,
dental and life insurance. A large portion of Fiberite's employees participate
in the indemnity and dental insurance plans, for which Fiberite has purchased
stop loss insurance covering any individual claims over $200,000 and aggregate
claims over $850,000 in any one year. For claims under these stop loss limits,
Fiberite is self-insured. Fiberite recorded $460,000 as reserves for medical and
dental claims which were incurred but not paid as of December 31, 1996. These
estimates are based on the claims history of the plans and specific knowledge of
outstanding claims.

     In October 1995, Fiberite entered into a financing arrangement with a
consortium of banks which consisted of a $40.0 million term note, a $35.0
million term note, and a $25.0 million revolving line of credit (LOC) which may
be used for cash borrowings and letters of credit. These loans are
collateralized by substantially all the assets of Fiberite and guaranteed by
Holdings. The term notes and the LOC provide for various borrowing rate options
including borrowing rates based on a fixed spread over the Bank of America
Illinois


                                       20
<PAGE>


reference rate (as defined in the term note agreement). A commitment fee of .5%
per annum is paid on the unused portion of the LOC. The weighted average
interest rate for fiscal 1996 for these borrowings was 8.51%. For fiscal 1996,
the average daily balance of the LOC was $12.3 million, and the highest
outstanding balance was $16.5 million.

     On October 6, 1995, Fiberite Holdings issued approximately $66 million
aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Notes with net proceeds of
approximately $30 million. The Subordinated Notes were issued at a discount of
principal and do not pay periodic cash payments of interest. Interest accrues on
the debt balance at a rate of 11.3% per year until scheduled maturity on October
6, 2002.

   The terms of the term notes, LOC, and subordinated notes contain, among other
provisions, restrictions on the transfer of funds from Fiberite to Holdings,
requirements for maintaining defined levels of working capital, net worth,
capital expenditures, and other financial ratios. At December 31, 1996, Fiberite
received from the consortium of banks waivers related to noncompliance with
certain covenants. The notes become immediately due and payable in the event of
any change in control of Fiberite.

Upon the change in control which occurred as a result of the sale of the Company
to Stamford Capital FHI Acquisition Corp in August 1997, the notes became due
and were repaid with the proceeds from the sale. See Note 17.


(11)  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     Fiberite is involved in legal proceedings of a character normally
incidental to its business, including substantial claims and pending actions
against Fiberite seeking recovery of alleged damages for asbestos related
claims. Fiberite is indemnified by ICI American Holdings Inc. for a percentage
of these claims. As of December 31, 1996, Fiberite has accrued liabilities of
$1.0 million to reflect potential losses in conjunction with various legal
proceedings. The outcome of these proceedings is not determinable at this time
although Fiberite intends to vigorously defend these actions. It is the opinion
of management that the legal proceedings will not result in a liability greater
than the amount recorded.


                                       21
<PAGE>


  RAW MATERIALS

     Fiberite purchases most of the raw materials used in production. Several
key materials are available from relatively few sources, and in many cases the
cost of product qualification makes it impractical to develop multiple sources
of supply. The unavailability of these materials, which Fiberite does not
anticipate, could have a material adverse effect on sales and earnings.


LEASES

     Fiberite has various noncancellable operating leases, primarily for real
estate, vehicles, and office equipment. Total lease expense for fiscal 1996 was
$686,000. Future minimum lease payments under noncancellable operating leases
are as follows (in thousands):

  U.S. GOVERNMENT CLAIMS

     Fiberite performs on a variety of defense subcontracts and is subject to
U.S. Government audits and reviews of negotiations, subcontract performance,
cost classifications, accounting and general practices relating to government
contracts. The Defense Contract Audit Agency reviews cost accounting and
business practices of Fiberite. There are currently no outstanding claims or
assessments against Fiberite.


(12)  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The carrying amounts of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued
liabilities and other payables approximate fair value because of the short
maturity of these financial instruments. The term notes and the revolving line
of credit bear interest at a rate indexed to variable market rates, therefore,
the carrying amounts of the outstanding borrowings approximate fair value.

     Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant
market information and information about the financial instruments. These
estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and judgment and
therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could
significantly affect these estimates.

(13)  COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENTS

     Of Fiberite's approximately 713 active United States employees as of
December 31, 1996, 5% are covered under collective bargaining agreements
negotiated with the Teamster's Union and 37% are covered under a collective
bargaining agreement negotiated with the United Steel Workers Union. Agreements
with the Teamster's Union expire in December, 1997 and October, 1998, and the
agreement with the United Steel Workers Union expires in March, 1998. Employees
in Germany are covered under a collective bargaining agreement with the Chemical
Industries Union which expires in February, 1998.

(14)  STOCK OPTIONS

     Fiberite granted incentive stock options to certain key management
employees pursuant to Fiberite's 1995 Long Term Incentive and Share Award Plan
(the Option Plan). Options granted under the Option Plan are subject to
individual vesting schedules, but must be exercised within ten years of the date
of grant. In 1996, 44,000 shares, of the 906,000 shares available under the plan
were issued. Certain of these options would have been exercisable based on
performance criteria resulting in a new measurement date. During April 1996,
40,000 shares were issued when the fair market value of Fiberite's stock was
determined to be approximately $5 per share. Additionally, in December 1996,
material modifications, consisting of the removal of defined performance
criteria were made to incentive options resulting in a new measurement date for
approximately 294,000 shares when the fair market value of the shares was
determined to be approximately $12 per share. In the absence of a market for
Fiberite's common stock in 1996, the fair market value of Fiberite's common
stock at the grant date was determined by using a valuation methodology
consistent with those applied by investment banking companies. Accordingly,
consistent with APB Opinion No. 25, compensation expense of approximately $3.6
million has been recognized during fiscal 1996 related to the variable features
of these options.

     During 1995, Fiberite sold restricted stock at the fair market value to
Carlisle pursuant to Fiberite's Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement (the
Restricted Stock Plan). These shares were subject to vesting provisions based on
defined performance criteria. In December 1996, material modifications,
consisting of the removal of defined performance criteria were made to options
resulting in a new measurement date for approximately 522,000 shares when the
fair market value of the shares was determined to be approximately $12 per
share. In the absence of a market for Fiberite's common stock in 1996, the fair
market value of Fiberite's common stock was determined by using a valuation
methodology consistent with those applied by investment banking companies.
Accordingly, consistent with APB Opinion No. 25, compensation expense has been
recognized in the amount of $6.0 million during fiscal 1996 related to the
variable features of these restricted shares.

     Fiberite adopted SFAS No. 123 for disclosure purposes in 1996. The fair
value of each option grant estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions used for the option grants in 1995 and 1996, respectively: risk-free
interest rates of 5.80% and 6.16%;


                                       23

expected dividend yields of 0.00 percent; expected life of 3.6 and 2.3 years;
expected volatility of 44.51%. Using these assumptions, Fiberite's net loss
would have been as follows (amounts in thousands):

(17) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED)

     On August 29, 1997 Stamford FHI Acquisition Corp. ("Stamford") acquired the
stock of Fiberite Holdings, Inc. for approximately $361 million. The net assets
of Fiberite Holdings, Inc. were recorded by Stamford at Fiberite's book value as
such value was determined to approximate fair market value. Accordingly all
excess purchase price was recorded as goodwill. Subsequent to the acquisition,
Stamford merged into Fiberite


                                       25
<PAGE>


Holdings, Inc. and Fiberite Holdings, Inc. then merged into its wholly owned
subsidiary, Fiberite, Inc. In connection with Stamford's purchase of Fiberite,
all of Fiberite's outstanding debt was redeemed. Stamford financed its purchase
of Fiberite primarily with bank debt.

        On September 5, 1997, Cytec and another buyer paid $192 million under
their contracts with Stamford to purchase substantially all of Fiberite's assets
which is reflected at September 30, 1997 as additional paid in capital. The
proceeds were used by Fiberite to reduce its outstanding bank debt. On September
30, 1997, and not reflected in the foregoing financial statements, Cytec
Industries Inc. acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of
Fiberite, Inc. for $344 million in cash of which $173 million had been
previously paid.

The accompanying September 30, 1997 unaudited balance sheet reflects the
acquisition by Stamford and the related bank debt and investment by Cytec have
been pushed down to the Fiberite balance sheet.

The accompanying September 30, 1997 unaudited statement of operations

Stamford acquisition.

Notes To Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations
(dollars in millions)

The Company consummated the Fiberite Acquistion on September 30, 1997. The
assets acquired include all of the businesses of Fiberite, except for its
satellite materials business. The Fiberite Acquisition has been accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting and the results of operations will be
included in the Company's consolidated statement of income beginning October 1,
1997. The aggregate purchase price, which was financed primarily through the
issuance of debt, was allocated based on estimated fair values at the date of
acquisition, which resulted in an excess of purchase price over assets acquired
of $263.5. This amount will be amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years.
The financial statements reflect a preliminary allocation of the purchase price
as the purchase price allocation has not been finalized.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been
adjusted for the items set forth below. Certain of such adjustments reflect
management's preliminary estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed relating to the Fiberite Acquisition.


          (1)  Represents the historical statements of operations for the
               Company for the respective period as indicated in the heading on
               each respective page.

          (2)  Represents the historical statements of operations for Fiberite
               for the respective period as indicated in the heading on each
               respective page, including the satellite materials business not
               purchased by the Company as part of the Fiberite Acquisition.

          (3)  Represents the adjustments to remove the results of operations of
               the satellite materials business not purchased by the Company as
               part of the Fiberite Acquisition.

          (4)  To adjust Fiberite depreciation and amortization expense for (1)
               adjustment of purchased property, plant and equipment to fair
               market value and (2) alignment with the Company's depreciation
               periods and methods.

          (5)  Adjustment to reflect amortization expense on goodwill and
               acquired intangibles, partially offset by the elimination of
               Fiberite's historical amortization expense of intangibles and the
               reclass of certain items.

          (6)  Adjustments to eliminate Fiberite's historical interest expense
               and to reflect borrowings to finance the Fiberite Acquisition.
               Fiberite's historical interest expense was $10.8 for the year
               ended December 31, 1996 and $8.8 and $8.3 for the nine months
               ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Assuming
               borrowings of $344.0 at a weighted average interest rate of 7%,
               interest expense resulting from the Fiberite Acquisition would
               have been $24.1 for the year ended December 31, 1996 and $18.1
               for each of the nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and

Mr. S. M. Crum
21 Pheasant Run
Kinnelon, NJ 07405

Dear Steve:

This letter is provided in order to induce you to continue working for Cytec
following your resignation, at your request, during the fourth quarter of 1997
as a corporate officer of Cytec Industries Inc. and as a member of the Executive
Committee and the Cytec Leadership Team.

You will be designated a "vice president" by the Executive Committee but will
not be considered a corporate officer. You will be providing general operational
assistance to the Company with particular emphasis on mergers and acquisitions
and report to the CEO. You will also serve on the boards of some of the
Company's joint ventures and be available for other duties of an executive
nature. It is understood that following your resignation as a corporate officer
that your work schedule will be less than full-time and that the actual schedule
will be determined between you and the CEO.

The Company will provide the following, subject to your continuing compliance
with the confidentiality and other provisions of your employment agreement.

o    Base Salary and ICP

You will remain an employee through December 31, 2000. Your current salary of
$272,000 will not be reduced, and you will continue at not less than this base
salary through December 31, 2000. You will continue to be eligible for incentive
compensation at a target level of 41% of the mid-point of salary level 22. Your
incentive compensation payments (which will continue through calendar year 2000)
will be determined consistent with the formula applied to corporate officers.

o    Stock Options

You will not receive further stock option grants. As a result of your continued
employment, all of your current options will have vested (by December, 2000)
under the terms of the respective grants.

o    Performance Stock/Performance Cash

You will not receive additional grants of Performance Stock/Performance Cash,
but awards previously made to you for the 1997, 1998, and 1999 performance
periods will not be reduced by reason of your changed responsibilities and will
be subject to vesting as provided in the award agreements for the respective
performance periods.

o    Income Continuity

Since your change in responsibilities would be voluntary and deemed not to be
"Good Reason" under the definition in the Executive Income Continuity Plan, the
change would not entitle you to terminate employment with an income continuity
benefit. Nevertheless, this does not affect your ability to receive an income
continuity benefit following any "Change in Control."

o    Directors' and Officers' Insurance

In your continued responsibilities as a Board member for Cytec subsidiaries or
joint ventures, you would continue to be included in the Company's directors'
and officers' liability coverage.

o    Excess Long Term Disability

Your current coverage will be maintained and will be paid for by you through
payroll deduction while you remain an employee.

o    Excess Liability Insurance

Personal Excess Liability Insurance will continue, with the same coverage
limits, while you remain an employee until December, 2000. The limit of coverage
is $5,000,000.

o    Tax Preparation and Financial Counseling

You will continue with the Ayco financial counseling and tax preparation
services through December, 2000, including preparation of your tax returns for
the year 2000.

o    Security Service

The Company will continue to provide security services through December 31,
2000.

o    Country Club Membership

You will retain for business purposes membership in the Fiddler's Elbow Country
Club through December 31, 2000.

o    Limousine Services

You will continue for business purposes to have access to the Company limousine
through December 31, 2000.

I am sending you a separate letter covering items which you are automatically
entitled to as an employee of Cytec.


                                                       Sincerely,
