Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005

(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited 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 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 for annual financial statements. However, in the opinion of the Company, these financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial statements for the interim periods presented herein. Results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

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 2005 Form 10-K.

(2) Reclassifications and Restatements

Certain reclassifications have been made to the three and six months ending June 30, 2005 information to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income have been restated to reflect the effects of discontinued operations. Segment information presented in note 14 has also been restated from prior year’s June 30, 2005 presentation to reflect the Company’s current segment structure, discontinued operations and assets held for sale. See notes 6 and 14 for additional detail regarding discontinued operations and the Company’s segment structure, respectively.

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows separately disclose the operating, investing and financing portions of the cash flows attributable to discontinued operations, which at June 30, 2005 were reported on a combined basis as a single amount.

(3) New Accounting Pronouncements

New accounting standards adopted

In January 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) (“SFAS 123(R)”), Share Based Payment. This statement is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS 123(R) requires the expensing of all share-based payments, including the issuance of stock options, based on the fair value of the award at the grant date. Additionally, the new standard requires the use of a fair-value measurement methodology which takes into consideration the special nature of its awards, including early exercise provisions. The new standard also specifies that excess income tax benefits related to share-based compensation expense recognized directly in equity are considered financing rather than operating cash flow activities.

The Company adopted this standard using the modified prospective method as provided by SFAS 123(R). This method requires the expensing of share-based awards issued on or after the date of adoption as well as the unvested portion of awards issued before the date of adoption (see note 4). The Company is using the Black-Scholes method for measuring the fair value of new awards.

In January 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 151 (“SFAS 151”), Inventory Costs — An Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. This statement clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Among other provisions, the new rule requires that items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal” as stated in ARB No. 43. Additionally, SFAS 151 requires that the allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. Adoption of this standard had no material impact on the Company’s statement of earnings or financial position.

In January 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 153 (“SFAS 153”), Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets — an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. SFAS 153 eliminates the exception from fair value measurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets in paragraph 21(b) of APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions,” and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. SFAS 153 specifies that a nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. Adoption of this standard had no material impact on the Company’s statement of earnings or financial position.

In January 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 154 (“SFAS 154”), Accounting Changes and Error Corrections — a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. SFAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. Retrospective application is defined by the statement as the application of a different accounting principle to prior accounting periods as if that principle had always been used or as the adjustment of previously issued financial statements to reflect a change in the reporting entity. This statement also requires that a change in the depreciation, amortization or depletion method for long-lived, nonfinancial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. Adoption of this standard had no material impact on the Company’s statement of earnings or financial position.

New accounting standards

In February 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 155 (“SFAS 155”), Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and 140. SFAS 155 primarily resolves certain issues addressed in the implementation of FASB Statement No. 133 concerning beneficial interests in securitized financial assets and is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. It will be effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued, or subject to a remeasurement (new basis) event occurring after the beginning of the year of adoption. Adoption of SFAS 155 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s statement of earnings or financial position.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. This interpretation clarifies the accounting and financial statement reporting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is required to be adopted by the Company as of January 1, 2007. The Company has not yet completed its analysis of the effects of this interpretation.

(4) Employee Stock-Based Compensation Arrangements

Stock Options

The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) as of January 1, 2006, and as such, accounts for awards of stock-based compensation based on the fair-value method. Compensation expense related to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) and stock options granted was an additional expense of $0.6 million pre-tax, or $0.5 million after-tax ($0.01 per share, basic and diluted) for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and $2.4 million pre-tax, or $1.6 million after-tax ($0.05 per share, basic and diluted) for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Under SFAS 123(R), excess income tax benefits related to share-based compensation expense that must be recognized directly in equity are considered financing rather than operating cash flow activities. The amount of financing cash flows for these benefits was $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Compensation cost for stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2006, was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:

	2006
Expected dividend yield	1.4		%
Expected life in years	5.65
Expected volatility	25.7		%
Risk-free interest rate	4.6% – 5.0		%
Weighted average fair value	$	19.27

The expected life of options is based on the assumption that all outstanding options will be exercised at the midpoint of the valuation date and the option expiration date. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility as well as implied volatility of the Company’s publicly traded options. The risk free interest rate is based on rates of US Treasury issues with a remaining life equal to the expected life of the option. The expected dividend yield is based on the projected annual dividend payment per share, divided by the stock price at the date of grant.

Stock options generally vest one-third upon grant and one-third upon each subsequent anniversary of the grant date. Compensation expense for stock options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. Unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options of $2.1 million at June 30, 2006 is to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.6 years.

The following table summarizes the stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

					Weighted
					Average
			Weighted		Remaining		Aggregate
			Average		Contract		Intrinsic
	Shares		Exercise		Term		Value
Options	*(In Thousands)*		Price		(Years)	��	*(In Thousands)*

Outstanding At January 1, 2006	1,149		$	48.23
Granted	189		$	68.99
Exercised	(302	)	$	39.41
Forfeited	(1	)	$	19.88

Outstanding at June 30, 2006	1,035		$	54.60	6.75		$	24,593

Exercisable at June 30, 2006	897		$	52.53	6.30		$	23,148

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $11.7 million.

Prior to 2006, the Company accounted for awards of stock-based employee compensation based on the intrinsic value method under the Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25. As such, no stock-based compensation is recorded in the determination of Net Income, as options granted have an option price equal to the market price of the underlying stock on the grant date. The following table illustrates the effect on Net Income and Earnings per share (“EPS”) had the Company applied the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation under SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.

	Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended
	June 30,			June 30,
*In thousands (except per share data)*	2005			2005
Net Income, as reported	$	34,676		$	62,929
Less: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value method for all awards net of related tax effects	(446		)	(1,586		)
	$	34,230		$	61,343

Basic EPS (as reported)	$	1.12		$	2.03
Basic EPS (pro forma)	$	1.11		$	1.98

Diluted EPS (as reported)	$	1.11		$	2.01
Diluted EPS (pro forma)	$	1.09		$	1.96

The pro forma effect includes only the vested portion of options granted in and after 1995. Compensation cost was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:

	2005
Expected dividend yield	1.4		%
Expected life in years	7
Expected volatility	28.3		%
Risk-free interest rate	3.9		%
Weighted average fair value	$	20.80

Restricted Stock

Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period based on the closing stock prices on the grant date of the restricted stock. As compensation expense is recognized, Additional paid-in capital is increased in shareholders’ equity. The restricted stock receives the same dividend as common shares outstanding.

Restricted shares awarded are generally released to the recipient after a period of three years. The following table summarizes the restricted share activity for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

			Weighted
			Average
	Shares		Grant Date
	*(In thousands)*		Fair Value
Nonvested at January 1, 2006	109		$	60.19
Granted	48		69.61
Forfeited	(1	)	61.84
Vested	(7	)	42.33
Nonvested at June 30, 2006	149		$	64.09

Compensation expense related to restricted stock awards of $0.8 million and $1.5 million was recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

Unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock awards of $5.2 million at June 30, 2006 is to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.4 years.

(5) Acquisitions

In July 2005, the Company acquired the heavy-duty brake lining and brake shoe assets of Zhejiang Kete (“Kete”) located in Hangzhou, China, for approximately $34.2 million. Operating results for this operation since the acquisition date are included in the Diversified Components segment. Although the Company is continuing to evaluate the purchase price allocation, an initial allocation resulted in goodwill of approximately $27.8 million. The goodwill from this acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.

On October 7, 2005, the Company acquired the off-highway brake assets of ArvinMeritor, Inc. for approximately $39.0 million. Operating results for this operation since the acquisition date are included in the Diversified Components segment. The acquisition includes manufacturing assets and inventory from the ArvinMeritor facilities in York, SC; Lexington, KY and Cwmbran, South Wales,

U.K. Although the Company is continuing to evaluate the purchase price allocation, an initial allocation resulted in goodwill of approximately $28.0 million. The goodwill from this acquisition is deductible for tax purposes.

(6) Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale

In the fourth quarter 2005, the Company announced it was exiting the businesses of Carlisle Systems & Equipment which include Carlisle Process Systems and the Walker Group. On April 10, 2006, Carlisle announced it had signed a definitive agreement to sell Carlisle Process Systems to Tetra Pak, a division of the Tetra Laval Group, a private industrial group headquartered in Switzerland. The sale of the Carlisle Process Systems businesses is subject to regulatory approvals as well as other customary closing conditions. The Company is actively marketing the Walker Group businesses. The sale of Carlisle Process Systems and the Walker Group businesses are expected to be completed by December 31, 2006.

Discontinued operations also include the operations of Carlisle Engineered Products (the former Automotive Components segment), the plastics component of Carlisle Tire & Wheel and the pottery business of Carlisle FoodService. The plastics component and pottery business were sold in the second quarter of 2005, which resulted in a $1.1 million loss. In June 2005, the Company recorded a $13.0 million impairment charge on the fixed assets of the automotive components business. Substantially all of the Carlisle Engineered Products operation was sold during the second half of 2005.

The assets of these operations have met the criteria for, and have been classified as “held for sale” in accordance with SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” As well, results of operations for these businesses, and any gains or losses recognized from their sale, are reported as “discontinued operations” in accordance with SFAS 144.

Total assets held for sale were as follows:

(11) Borrowings

Certain bonds payable held by the Company at June 30, 2006 mature on January 15, 2007. The Company, however, intends to refinance those bonds payable upon maturity or utilize its existing five-year $300.0 million revolving credit facility until such refinancing is secured, thereby deferring the effective maturity of those bonds payable beyond the twelve-month period immediately following June 30, 2006. Because of the Company’s intent and ability to defer the effective maturity beyond a twelve-month period, those bonds payable are included in Long-term debt at June 30, 2006.

(12) Commitments and Contingencies

For its continuing and discontinued operations, the Company is obligated under various noncancelable operating leases for certain facilities and equipment. Future minimum payments under its various noncancelable operating leases in each of the next five years are approximately $8.5 million in 2006,

$15.2 million in 2007, $12.2 million in 2008, $9.0 million in 2009, $7.5 million in 2010 and $30.5 million thereafter.

At June 30, 2006, letters of credit amounting to $47.2 million were outstanding, primarily to provide security under insurance arrangements and certain borrowings.

The Company has financial guarantee lines in place for certain of its operations in Asia and Europe to facilitate working capital needs, customer performance and payment and warranty obligations. At June 30, 2006, the Company had issued guarantees of $12.9 million, of which $7.3 million represents amounts recorded in current liabilities or Other long-term liabilities. The fair value of these guarantees is estimated to equal the amount of the guarantees at June 30, 2006, due to their short-term nature.

During 2005, the Company sold certain assets and liabilities of its discontinued automotive components business which was part of a series of sales. The transaction included the assumption of certain real estate and equipment leases by the buyer for which the Company has guaranteed. The leases guaranteed by the Company expire in 2007 through 2011 and have total minimum lease payments of $2.7 million as of June 30, 2006.

The Company offers various warranty programs on its installed roofing systems, braking products, truck trailers, refrigerated truck bodies, and cheese making equipment. The change in the Company’s aggregate product warranty liabilities for the period ended June 30 is as follows:

In thousands	2006			2005
Beginning reserve at December 31	$	7,939		$	8,517
Current year provision	6,119			6,409
Current year claims	(5,785		)	(6,473		)
Ending reserve at June 30	$	8,273		$	8,453

The amount of extended product warranty revenues recognized was $3.5 million and $6.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, and $3.4 million and $6.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005.

The Company has entered into long-term purchase agreements expiring December 31, 2006 for certain key raw materials. Commitments are variable based on changes in commodity price indices. Based on prices at June 30, 2006, commitments under these agreements total approximately $15.4 million.

The Company maintains self retained liabilities for workers’ compensation, medical, general liability and property claims up to applicable retention limits. Retention limits are between $0.5 million and $1.0 million per occurrence for general liability, $0.5 million per occurrence for workers’ compensation, $0.1 million per occurrence for property and up to $0.5 million for medical claims. The Company is insured for losses in excess of these limits.

The Company may be involved in various legal actions from time to time arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcome of such actions will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company, but may have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations for a particular period. As a result of the favorable resolution of certain legal actions, the Company recognized gains, net of legal fees, of $2.4 million and $7.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, and $3.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 that were included in Other (income) expense, net. In addition, the Company recognized in Other (income) expense, net, a charge of $2.5 million relating to

an arbitration proceeding concerning the termination of a supply agreement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

(13) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to the impact of changes in interest rates and market values of its debt instruments, changes in raw material prices and foreign currency fluctuations.

From time to time, the Company may manage its interest rate exposure through the use of treasury lock contracts and interest rate swaps to reduce volatility of cash flows, impact on earnings and to lower its cost of capital. On June 15, 2005, the Company entered into treasury lock contracts with a notional amount of $150.0 million to hedge the cash flow variability on forecasted debt interest payments associated with changes in interest rates. These contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges and were deemed effective at the origination date and as of June 30, 2006. The valuation of these contracts resulted in an asset of $8.1 million as of June 30, 2006, which has also been reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive income on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

In April 2005, the Company terminated certain interest rate swaps entered into on April 11, 2003 with a notional amount of $75.0 million that hedged the market risk associated with the Company’s 7.25% senior notes. The termination of those contracts, which were designated as fair value hedges, resulted in a loss of $1.4 million, which will be amortized to interest expense until January 2007, the original termination date of the swap. At June 30, 2006, the Company had a remaining unamortized loss of $0.5 million reflected in long-term debt.

In December 2001, the Company entered into a $150.0 million notional amount interest rate swap, which was designated as a fair value hedge, to hedge a portion of the exposure associated with its fixed rate debt. This fair value hedge was deemed effective at the origination date. On July 16, 2002, the Company terminated $50.0 million notional amount of this fair value hedge resulting in a gain of $1.6 million, which is amortized to reduce interest expense until January 2007, the original termination date of the swap. On September 19, 2002, the Company terminated the remaining $100.0 million notional amount on the fair value hedge resulting in a gain of $7.3 million, which is amortized to reduce interest expense until January 2007. At June 30, 2006, the Company had a remaining unamortized gain of $1.0 million reflected in long-term debt.

On April 27, 2006, the Company executed a currency hedge with a total notional amount of $5.9 million to hedge the fair value risk associated with fluctuations in the foreign exchange rate on the final settlement amount due related to the July 2005 acquisition of the heavy-duty brake lining and brake shoe assets of Zhejiang Kete. The fair value position of this contract as of June 30, 2006 was not material.

On June 5, 2006, the Company executed an extension through July 7, 2006 of a currency hedge executed on July 21, 2005 with a total notional amount of $3.8 million to hedge the Company’s fair value risk associated with fluctuations in the foreign exchange rate on certain receivables denominated in Euros. The fair value position of this contract as of June 30, 2006, was not material.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Executive Overview

Carlisle Companies Incorporated (“Carlisle”, the “Company”, “we” or “our”) is a diversified manufacturing company focused on achieving profitable growth internally through new product development and product line extensions, and externally through acquisitions that complement the Company’s existing technologies, products and market channels. The Company has nine operating companies, organized into three reportable segments:

· Construction Materials: SynTec (the “construction materials” business);

· Industrial Components: Carlisle Tire and Wheel (“CT&W”, or the “tire and wheel” business); Carlisle Power Transmission (“Carlisle PT”, or the “power transmission belt” business);

· Diversified Components: Carlisle Motion Control and Carlisle Industrial Brake and Friction (together, the “motion control systems” business); Trail King (the “specialty trailer” business); Tensolite (the “high-performance wire and cable” business); Johnson Truck Bodies (the “refrigerated truck bodies” business); and Carlisle FoodService (the “foodservice products” business).

While Carlisle has offshore manufacturing operations, the markets served by the Company are primarily in North America. Management focuses on continued year over year improvement in sales and earnings, return on invested capital and return on shareholders’ equity. Resources are allocated among the operating companies based on management’s assessment of their ability to obtain leadership positions in the markets they serve.

For a more in-depth discussion of the results discussed in this “Executive Overview,” please refer to the discussion on “Operating Segments” presented later in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis.”

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2006 were $692.7 million, a $101.1 million, or 17% increase over net sales of $591.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Organic growth (defined as the increase in net sales excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures within the last twelve months as well as the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates), primarily in Construction Materials, accounted for approximately $83.9 million or 83% of the improvement. Acquisitions in the Diversified Components segment accounted for approximately $13.4 million or 13% of the improvement compared to the prior-year quarter. Income from continuing operations of $54.6 million, or $1.76 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2006 improved 30% over income from continuing operations of $42.1 million, or $1.34 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2005, reflecting improved performance across all business segments.

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $1.314 billion, representing a 16% increase over net sales of $1.129 billion in the first six months of 2005. Strong organic growth in the Construction Materials segment and a mix of organic and acquisition growth in the Diversified Components segment were the primary contributing factors to the improvement. Income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $93.7 million or $3.02 per diluted share, a 32% improvement over income from continuing operations of $70.8 million, or $2.26 per diluted share in the first half of 2005. The Construction Materials and Diversified Components segments contributed the majority of the improvement

Sales and Earnings

Consolidated Results of Continuing Operations

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2006 were $692.7 million, an increase of 17% over net sales of $591.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Organic growth, primarily in the Construction Materials and Diversified Components segments, accounted for approximately $83.9 million or 83% of the increase. Growth was driven primarily by increased sales volumes over prior year. Acquisitions within the Diversified Components segment contributed approximately $13.4 million or 13%. The impact of changes in foreign currency rates was negligible. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased 16% over the prior year. Organic growth in the aforementioned segments accounted for $154.5 million or 84% of the improvement, while acquisitions contributed $24.9 million or 14% to the year-over-year growth.

Cost of goods sold of $545.9 million in the second quarter of 2006 was 16% higher than $470.5 million in the second quarter of 2005. Cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $1.040 billion, up 16% from $898.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. An increase in raw material costs, primarily driven by higher sales volumes, was the primary contributor to the increase in the quarter and six-month periods.

Gross margin (net sales less cost of goods sold expressed as a percent of net sales) of 21% in the second quarter of 2006 compared to gross margin of 20% in the second quarter last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, gross margin was 21% as compared to 20% in the same period in 2005. The improvement was the result of increased sales, which offset increased cost of goods sold as previously discussed. While cost of goods sold have increased relative to sales volume increases; price volatility in energy costs and petroleum based and commodity raw materials may cause cost of goods sold to increase disproportionately

to sales volume. The Company may not be able to recover all increases in cost of goods sold through selling price increases.

Selling and administrative expenses of $60.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 were 9% above $55.7 million in the second quarter of 2005. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, selling and administrative expenses of $122.0 million represented a 10% increase over $110.8 million in the prior year. The increase in the three and six-month periods is primarily attributable to variable selling expenses, the most significant being sales commissions. Such expenses typically increase or decrease with the level of sales. The six-month period of 2006 was also impacted by the recording of stock option expense of $2.4 million. As a percent of net sales, selling and administrative expenses were 9% for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, selling and administrative expenses were 9% and 10% of net sales, respectively.

Other income, net of $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to other income of $4.4 million for the same period in 2005. Results for the 2006 period included gains of $5.6 million related to the curtailment of certain retiree medical plans, $2.4 million of proceeds received from legal actions initiated by the Company as well as income from the Company’s European roofing joint venture (“Icopal”) of $0.7 million. Offsetting these gains were losses of $2.5 million related to an arbitration proceeding concerning the termination of a supply agreement, $1.8 million in fees associated with the Company’s receivables securitization program, $1.3 million of lease termination costs, and $1.2 million of asset charges at a closed facility. Results in the second quarter of 2005 included gains of $3.6 million related to proceeds received from legal actions initiated by the Company, $1.3 million of insurance proceeds, $1.3 million related to the sale of fixed assets and $0.6 million of equity income from Icopal. Offsetting these gains were expenses of $1.2 million associated with the securitization program, and $0.9 million of foreign currency losses on subsidiary debt.

Other income of $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to other expense of $0.7 million in the prior year. Results for the 2006 period included $7.1 million of proceeds received from legal actions and $5.6 million related to the curtailment of certain retiree medical plans. Offsetting these gains were expenses of $3.3 million associated with the securitization program, losses of $2.5 million related to an arbitration proceeding concerning the termination of a supply agreement, the Company’s share of losses at Icopal of $2.1 million, $1.3 million of lease termination costs, and $1.2 million of asset charges at a closed facility. Results in the first half of 2005 included gains of $3.6 million related to proceeds received from legal actions initiated by the Company, $1.3 million of insurance proceeds and $1.3 million related to the sale of fixed assets. Offsetting these gains were equity losses at Icopal of $3.6 million, expenses of $1.7 million associated with the securitization program, and $1.3 million of foreign currency losses on subsidiary debt.

Earnings before interest and income taxes (“EBIT” or “earnings”) for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 were $84.2 million, a 28% improvement over $66.0 million recognized in 2005. Earnings were up in all segments, with the majority of the improvement occurring in the Construction Materials segment and to a lesser extent, the Diversified Components and Industrial Components segments.

EBIT of $146.8 million in the first half of 2006 grew 31% over $112.2 million in the first half of 2005. The Construction Materials segment posted the largest improvement and accounted for the majority of the year-over-year increase. The Diversified Components segment also reported strong growth in the first half of the year, while results in the Industrial Components segment were slightly above the prior year.

Interest expense, net of $5.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was 30% higher than interest expense, net of $4.1 million in the same period of 2005. Interest expense, net, in the first half of 2006 was $9.6 million, a 20% increase as compared to the prior year. The increase in the three and six-

month periods was due primarily to an increase in interest rates, which offset lower average borrowings as compared to the same periods in the prior year.

Income from continuing operations, net of tax was $54.6 million, or $1.76 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2006, a 30% improvement over $42.1 million, or $1.34 per diluted share in the three months ended June 30, 2005. Income from continuing operations, net of tax for the first six months of 2006 was $93.7 million, or $3.02 per diluted share, representing a 32% improvement over $70.8 million, or $2.26 per diluted share recognized in the first half of 2005.

Consolidated Results of Discontinued Operations

Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $1.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, which compared to a loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $7.4 million, or $0.23 per diluted share for the same period in 2005. Income from discontinued operations, net of tax for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $3.5 million, which compared to a loss of $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Results in the three and six-month periods of 2006 primarily reflect the performance of the Systems and Equipment business. Results in the prior year periods included an after-tax impairment charge of $8.2 million on the fixed assets of the automotive components operations.

In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company announced it was exiting the businesses of Carlisle Systems & Equipment which include Carlisle Process Systems and the Walker Group. On April 10, 2006, the Company announced the signing of a definitive agreement to sell Carlisle Process Systems to Tetra Pak, a division of the Tetra Laval Group, a private industrial group headquartered in Switzerland. The sale is subject to regulatory approval in various jurisdictions, as well as other customary closing conditions, and is expected to close before December 31, 2006.

Net Income of $56.0 million, or $1.80 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was 62% higher than $34.7 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $97.2 million, or $3.14 per diluted share, a 55% improvement over net income of $62.9 million, or $2.01 per diluted share, for the same period in 2005.

Acquisitions

In October, 2005, the Company acquired the off-highway brake assets of ArvinMeritor, Inc. for approximately $39.0 million. The acquisition includes manufacturing assets and inventory from the ArvinMeritor facilities in York, SC; Lexington, KY and Cwmbran, South Wales, U.K. These assets are being transitioned to the off-highway braking systems and specialty friction products operations of Carlisle Industrial Brake & Friction, which is reported in the Diversified Components segment. The Company has preliminarily allocated the purchase price among the assets acquired, resulting in goodwill of approximately $28.0 million. Operating results have been included in the Diversified Components segment since the acquisition date.

Construction Materials

Net sales in the Construction Materials segment were $292.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, an increase of 29% over $227.9 million in the same period of 2005. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2006 of $520.8 million represented a 30% improvement over the same period in 2005. The improvement over the prior-year quarter was attributable primarily to higher volumes of thermoplastic polyolefin (“TPO”) membrane and insulation reflecting the expansion of the Company’s geographic reach and focus on total system sales. Favorable weather conditions in the first quarter of 2006 also contributed to the improvement on a year-to-date basis.

Segment EBIT of $46.6 million in the second quarter of 2006 represented a $7.8 million, or 20% improvement over the second quarter of 2005. As a percent of sales, EBIT was 16% in the 2006 second quarter as compared to 17% in the 2005 second quarter. Results in the prior-year quarter included a $1.3 million gain from the receipt of insurance proceeds and a $1.3 million gain on the sale of property. The earnings improvement as compared to the second quarter of 2005 primarily reflected higher sales volumes.

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, EBIT grew 48% from $53.4 million in the first half of 2005 to $78.9 million in the first half of 2006. As a percent of sales, EBIT was 15% in the first half of 2006 as compared to 13% in the first half of 2005. Included in segment earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was a $5.6 million pre-tax gain for proceeds received from the settlement of legal actions initiated by Company. Segment EBIT also reflects a pre-tax loss for the first half of 2006 and 2005 related to the Company’s equity share of losses at its European roofing joint venture, Icopal, of $2.1 million and $3.6 million, respectively.

In the fourth quarter of 2005, SynTec began production at its TPO roofing manufacturing facility in Tooele, Utah. With respect to its insulation operations, in 2005, SynTec announced the construction of new insulation facilities in Tooele, Utah and Smithfield, Pennsylvania. Manufacturing operations commenced at the Tooele, Utah facility in March 2006. The Smithfield, Pennsylvania facility is nearing completion and is expected to begin test production in the third quarter of 2006. These two new insulation facilities will complement the four existing insulation operations in Kingston, New York; Franklin Park, Illinois; Lake

City, Florida and Terrell, Texas. SynTec’s EPDM manufacturing operations are located in Carlisle, Pennsylvania and Greenville, Illinos.

Net sales and EBIT are generally higher for this segment in the second and third quarters of the year due to increased construction activity during these periods. Overall conditions continue to look strong for commercial construction going into the third quarter; however, uncertainties regarding higher interest rates, raw material inflation, increasing energy costs and the ability to obtain price increases to offset these events could place negative pressure on results in subsequent periods.

Industrial Components

Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 were $214.7 million, a 3% increase over the prior year. Net sales in the first six-month period of 2006 were $438.8 million, also representing a 2% increase over the prior year. Net sales in the tire and wheel business grew in the three and six month periods on higher sales of commercial outdoor power equipment, all-terrain vehicles (“ATV”) and high-speed trailer tires as well as increased sales to the replacement market; offsetting lower sales in the consumer power equipment market. Improvement in the tire and wheel business was slightly offset by lower sales in the power transmission belt business, which was negatively impacted by lower sales in the agricultural market. The improvement in segment sales for the quarter and six months were largely driven by increased selling prices.

Segment EBIT for the current year quarter was $23.4 million, an 18% improvement as compared to $19.8 million in the second quarter of 2005. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, EBIT was $45.2 million, which compares to $44.6 million in the first half of 2005. Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 included gains of $5.6 million related to the curtailment of retiree medical plans and $1.5 million on proceeds from legal actions initiated by the Company. Negatively impacting quarter and year-to-date results were lease termination expenses of $1.3 million and $1.2 million of asset charges related to a closed facility. Impacting the three and six month periods of 2005 was a $3.6 million gain from proceeds related to legal actions. As a percent of sales, EBIT improved from 10% in the second quarter of 2005 to 11% in the second quarter of 2006, reflecting increased selling prices as compared to the prior year. EBIT as a percent of sales was flat on a year-to-date basis. Higher selling prices were offset by lower production in the first quarter of 2006 as the Company continued to focus on reducing inventory levels required to support demand.

Net sales and EBIT are generally higher in the first half of the year due to peak sales volumes in the outdoor power equipment market. The Company expects softness to continue in the consumer outdoor power equipment market and will focus on increasing sales in other markets. Uncertainty regarding raw material and energy costs and the ability to offset these events with increased selling prices could negatively impact future earnings in this segment.

Diversified Components

Net sales for this segment improved 20% in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to the prior year. Sales were higher in all businesses in this segment with the exception of the foodservice products business, which experienced a down turn in the restaurant market attributable to the impact of higher energy costs and higher interest rates on consumer disposable income. The acquisitions of two brake businesses in the last half of 2005 contributed approximately $13.4 million of net sales in the current-year quarter. Demand continued to remain strong in the specialty trailer business, improving 12% over the prior year, and sales within the high-performance wire and cable business also reported a 12% improvement primarily as a result of higher demand for aerospace products. Also contributing to the growth in the quarter were increased sales in the refrigerated truck bodies business, where sales were lower in 2005 due to a labor dispute.

EBIT in the second quarter of 2006 improved 40% over the prior year quarter and included a $2.5 million loss related to an arbitration proceeding concerning the termination of a supply arrangement. The acquisitions of the braking businesses contributed approximately $5.0 million in the current-year quarter. Earnings in the specialty trailer and refrigerated truck bodies businesses were significantly higher on increased sales. Earnings in the foodservice products business declined in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to last year reflecting higher costs due to the installation of a new raw material handling facility and slightly lower sales.

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2006 grew $55.5 million or 19% over the prior year on higher sales in all businesses in this segment. Acquisitions contributed $24.9 million to the improvement. The specialty trailer and refrigerated truck bodies businesses experienced significant year-over-year growth for the first half of 2006. Sales were slightly up year-to-date in the high-performance wire and cable business where strong second quarter sales offset lower sales in the first quarter of this year. Sales in the foodservice business were also up for the first half of the year, reflecting increased sales in the first quarter on higher demand.

EBIT for the six months ended June 30, 2006 grew $9.9 million or 34% over the same period last year. Acquisitions accounted for approximately $8.1 million of the increase. Negatively impacting results for the half was the aforementioned $2.5 million charge related to an arbitration proceeding concerning the termination of a supply agreement. Strong sales in the specialty trailer business contributed to a $6.4 million or 64% improvement in earnings. As well, earnings in the refrigerated truck bodies business improved significantly, where earnings were depressed in the prior year as a result of a labor dispute.

Market conditions continue to look favorable for positive growth in this segment; however, businesses in this segment are affected by raw material inflation, and other economic factors such as interest rates and energy costs which could place negative pressure on growth.

Corporate

Corporate expenses decreased $0.7 million or 9% in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to 2005. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, corporate expenses were up $1.3 million or 9% as compared to the prior year. Results in the three and six-month periods of 2005 included $1.1 million of foreign currency losses on subsidiary debt. Results in the current year reflected $2.4 million of expense related to the Company’s adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, under which the Company began recognizing expense for the issuance of stock options. Higher fees associated with the Company’s securitization program as well as the additional staffing necessary to achieve the Company’s strategic objectives also had a negative impact on prior year comparisons.

Balance Sheet

Trade Receivables of $265.1 million at June 30, 2006 represented a $101.8 million increase as compared to receivables of $163.3 million at December 31, 2005 due primarily to higher sales in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to fourth quarter of 2005.

Inventories increased $23.4 million, up from $336.1 million at December 31, 2005 to $359.5 million at June 30, 2006. The largest increase in inventories occurred in the Construction Materials segment resulting from planned builds of inventory levels to meet projected sales demand, which offset reductions in inventories in the Industrial Components segment.

Property, plant and equipment, net, increased by $20.4 million from $432.7 million at December 31, 2005 to $453.2 million at June 30, 2006 primarily as a result of increased capital spending primarily in the Construction Materials segment related to the construction of new production facilities.

Accounts payable of $160.8 million at June 30, 2006 were $33.1 million higher than accounts payable at December 31, 2005 of $127.7 million primarily related to increased production activity in the Construction Materials and Industrial Components segments.

Net cash provided by continuing operations of $55.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared favorably to net cash provided for the six months ended June 30, 2005 of $19.8 million. Increased operating income and a reduction in cash used to fund working capital levels were the primary contributors to the improvement.

Cash used in investing activities was $46.9 million in the first half of 2006 compared to $46.1 million in 2005. Capital expenditures of $50.9 million in the first six months of this year were consistent with capital expenditures of $50.7 million in the first half of 2005.

Cash used in financing activities was $15.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to cash provided of $41.9 million in the first six months of 2005, reflecting decreased short term borrowings required to fund working capital and operating needs. Financing cash flows in 2005 included the use of $16.4 million to purchase 241,600 shares of common stock.

(1) Future expected interest payments are calculated based on the stated rate for fixed rate debt and the effective interest rate as of June 30, 2006 for variable rate debt.

The above table does not include $108.6 million of other long-term liabilities. Other long-term liabilities consist primarily of pension, post-retirement medical benefits, deferred income tax and warranty obligations. Due to factors such as return on plan assets, disbursements, contributions, and timing of warranty claims, it is not estimable when these will become due.

Carlisle maintains a $300.0 million revolving credit facility, of which $296.5 million was available at June 30, 2006. The Company also maintains a $150.0 million receivables securitization facility and a $55.0 million uncommitted line of credit, of which $17.0 million and $49.5 million, respectively, was available as of June 30, 2006.

At June 30, 2006, letters of credit amounting to $47.2 million were outstanding, primarily to provide security under insurance arrangements and certain borrowings.

Under the Company’s various debt and credit facilities, the Company is required to meet various restrictive covenants and limitations, including certain net worth, cash flow ratios and limits on outstanding debt balances held by certain subsidiaries (“subsidiary debt limit”). At December 31, 2005, the Company’s subsidiary debt was in excess of the stated limit. On March 2, 2006, the lender amended certain debt agreements to increase the Company’s subsidiary debt limit effective for the period beginning December 23, 2005 up to December 31, 2006. As a result of those amendments to the debt agreements, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and limitations in 2006 and 2005.

Backlog

Backlog from continuing operations at June 30, 2006 of $269.9 million was below the backlog of $295.4 million at March 31, 2006 and slightly higher than the backlog of $261.3 million at June 30, 2005. Increased backlog for the Construction Materials segment was more than offset by decreased backlog in the Industrial Components segment reflecting the seasonality of the lawn and garden market served by the businesses of Industrial Components.

Carlisle defines backlog as open orders (including both cancelable and non-cancelable orders) which can be shipped within a range of several days to two years. This definition of backlog is applied to all of the Company’s various segments. Backlog is dependant on market conditions, which vary greatly between industries and throughout the year. While management utilizes this measurement to monitor and plan future operations, its variant nature is considered in conjunction with other operational and market conditions.

Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale

Discontinued operations also include the operations of Carlisle Engineered Products (the former Automotive Components segment), the plastics component of Carlisle Tire & Wheel and the pottery business of Carlisle FoodService. The plastics component and pottery business were sold in the second quarter of 2005, which resulted in a $1.1 million loss. In June 2005, the Company recorded a $13.0 million impairment charge on the fixed assets of the automotive components business. The majority of the Carlisle Engineered Products operation was sold during the second half of 2005.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Carlisle is exposed to the impact of changes in interest rates and market values of its debt instruments, changes in raw material prices and foreign currency fluctuations.

International operations are exposed to translation risk when the local currency financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars. Carlisle monitors this risk, but at June 30, 2006 had no translation risk hedges in place. Overall, currency valuation risk is considered minimal; however, on April 27, 2006, the Company executed a currency hedge with a total notional amount of $5.9 million to hedge the fair value risk associated with fluctuations in the foreign exchange rate on the final settlement amount due related to the July 2005 acquisition of the heavy-duty brake lining and brake shoe assets of Zhejiang Kete. As well, on June 5, 2006, the Company executed an extension through July 7, 2006 of a currency hedge executed on July 21, 2005 with a total notional amount of $3.8 million to hedge the Company’s fair value risk associated with fluctuations in the foreign exchange rate on certain receivables denominated in Euros. The fair value position of these contracts as of June 30, 2006, was not material. Less than 11% of the Company’s revenues from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 are in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.

From time to time the Company may manage its interest rate exposure through the use of interest rate swaps to reduce volatility of cash flows, impact on earnings and to lower its cost of capital. On June 15, 2005, the Company entered into treasury lock contracts with a notional amount of $150.0 million to hedge the cash flow variability on forecasted debt interest payments associated with changes in interest rates. These contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges and were deemed effective at the origination date and as of June 30, 2006. The valuation of these contracts resulted in an asset of $8.1 million as of June 30, 2006, which has also been reflected in Other comprehensive income on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

In April 2005, the Company terminated certain interest rate swaps entered into during 2003 with a notional amount of $75.0 million that hedged the market risk associated with the Company’s fixed rate debt. The termination of those contracts, which were designated as fair value hedges, resulted in a loss of $1.4 million, which will be amortized to interest expense until January 2007, the original termination date of the swap. At June 30, 2006, the Company had a remaining unamortized loss of $0.5 million reflected in long-term debt.

The Company’s operations use certain commodities such as plastics, carbon black, synthetic and natural rubber and steel. As such, the Company’s cost of operations is subject to fluctuations as the markets for these commodities change. The Company monitors these risks, but currently has no derivative contracts in place to hedge these risks.
