Carlisle Companies Incorporated ("Carlisle" or the "Company")reported sales grew to $1.26of $1.611 billion in 1997,1999, up 24%6%, or $243.0$94 million, from 19961998 sales of $1.02$1.518 billion. ThisThe primary contributing factor to this increase is due to thewas generated through product line expansion of product lines and market shares of Carlisle's core businessesshare gains. In addition, we completed several complementary acquisitions in 1998 and the integration into existing operations of several acquisitions made in 1996.1999. In 1997, net earnings reached $70.7 million, or $2.28 per share of common stock, a 27% increase over 1996 net earnings of $55.7 million, or $1.80 per share. This increase in earnings is attributable to the higher sales level, and the improved operating margins resulting from our continued focus on manufacturing and distribution costs. In 1996,1998, sales increased 24%,20% or $195.0$257 million, due to continuedas a result of internal growth in core businesses, as well as acquisitions made in 19961998 and to the full-year effectfull year impact of those acquisitions madecompleted in 1995.1997. Net earnings in 1999 were $95.8 million, or $3.13 per share, a 13% increase over 1998 net earnings of $84.9 million, or $2.77 per share. Net earnings, in 1998, increased 26%20%, or $11.6 million, in 1996 reflecting bothnot only the increased sales levels, but also cost reductions. In January 1999, Carlisle exited its Perishable Cargo business, which impacts the year-to-year comparisons of operating results. After adjusting for the effect of this divestiture, pro-forma sales and reductionsnet earnings increased 10% and 17%, respectively. The quarterly pro-forma results are shown in costs. Although not having a significant effect onTable 1 below. TABLE 1

Sales and net earnings in 1999 mark the eighth consecutive year of year-to-year improvements. Approximately 70% of this year's growth came from the combination of market growth, product line extensions, market share gains and cost reductions. The strong rebound in the automotive market, the expansion of sales orof insulation and thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) roofing membrane, as well as strong growth in our specialty tire and wheel, systems and equipment, and foodservices businesses are the primary contributors to our 1999 sales increase. Improved operational efficiencies at several operations, along with sales increases, account for the increased earnings from internal operations. Continuing progress was made on the program to improve the profitability of assets employed in the business. The effective tax rate was reduced from 39.5% to 38.4%. This reduction was the result of the implementation of various state tax strategies initiated over the last two years. During 1999, we completed five complementary acquisitions. We purchased: (1) Global Manufacturing, a record numbermanufacturer of stamped steel wheels for industrial and recreational applications and styled steel wheels for the automotive aftermarket (2) Johnson Truck Bodies, a manufacturer of fiber glass custom truck bodies for the delivery of food products to stores and homes, (3) Innovative Engineering Limited, an engineering and equipment supplier of cheese making systems, (4) Marko International, Inc., a supplier of table coverings, table skirtings and other accessories for the foodservice market, and (5) the custom steel wheel business of Cragar Industries, Inc., which produces and markets CRAGAR brand custom steel wheels to the automotive aftermarket. 12 Four acquisitions were completed in 1997. Throughout the year we acquired several small bias-ply tire1998: (1) Vermont Electromagnetics and wheel manufacturing(2) Quality Microwave Interconnects, Inc., both manufacturers of specialty cable assemblies and distributing companies, which extend both our product offeringsconnectors, (3) Industrial Tire Products, Inc., a distributor of industrial and geographic distribution ofrecreational tire and wheel assemblies, to lawn and garden, trailer and other original equipment manufacturers. These transactions were as follows: (i) The City Machine & Wheel Company, (ii) The Neilson Wheel Company, Inc., (iii) Conestoga Tire & Rim 10 Inc., (iv) Wheeltech North America, Inc., and (v) Tilden Corporation. In April, we purchased Overland Brakes, Inc., a small spring-brake manufacturing company, complementing our heavy-duty friction products. In December, we purchased Zimmerman Brush Co., a small, privately owned manufacturer of brushes for the janitorial and sanitation market. Also in December, we signed letters of intent to purchase(4) Hardcast Europe BV, a Dutch manufacturer of specialty adhesive and sealant products for the European construction market, and to establish a joint venture with Lander Plastics, a British manufacturer of plastic automotive components. The Hardcast Europe acquisition was completed in January 1998. In addition, we completed the following divestitures in 1997: (i) in February, we divested the remaining operations of Carlisle Engineered Metals Incorporated, a metal roofing company and, (ii) in October, we sold Braemar, Inc., a small manufacturer of medical monitoring devices. Several acquisitions made in 1996 were integrated into Carlisle during 1997. These 1996 acquisitions include the following: (i) Insul-foam, Inc., which brought new technology to the EPDM rubber roofing market, (ii) Intero, Inc. and Unique Wheel, Inc., manufacturers of steel and aluminum wheels and rims, (iii) Scherping Systems, Inc. and Scherping Controls, Inc., companies that design and manufacture in-plant processing equipment for the cheese industry, (iv) Hartstone, Inc., which designs and manufactures ceramic tableware, and (v) The Engineered Plastics Division of Johnson Controls, Inc., which manufactures highly engineered plastic components for the automotive industry.market. OPERATING SEGMENTS CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS Segment sales grew 9% in 1999 to $405 million, an increase of $33 million over 1998 sales of $372 million. This sales growth resulted from the expansion of insulation and thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) shipments to the roofing systems market by Carlisle SynTec. Carlisle Coatings & Waterproofing experienced higher sales driven by its tape and sealant products. In 1998, segment sales declinedincreased 17% from 1997 sales of $317 million as a result of increased market share and new products. Segment earnings were up 10% in 1999 to $58 million, reflecting increased sales levels, improved operational performance and favorable warranty experience, partially offset by 0.9%the absorption of increased raw material costs and changes in product mix. Also, during 1999, Carlisle SynTec successfully implemented an integrated company-wide information system, which will further improve the efficiencies of this segment. The 1998 segment earnings of $53 million were up 8% over 1997 segment earnings of $49 million, primarily due to $322.2increased sales. Return on assets improved from 24% to 25% as a result of both increased asset efficiency and profit margins. INDUSTRIAL COMPONENTS Segment sales were $528 million in 1999, a 3% increase over 1998 sales of $511 million. The primary cause of the increase was the growth of new customers and new products in the specialty tire and wheel business of Carlisle Tire & Wheel, as well as acquisitions that were completed in 1999 and 1998. Decreased customer requirements for aerospace bulk cable negatively impacted Tensolite's sales. Sales at Motion Control Industries and Carlisle Industrial Brake & Friction were down in 1999, due to lower demand in the heavy duty friction aftermarket and off-highway industrial brakes for mining and agricultural applications. In 1998, segment sales increased 29% over 1997 as a slightsales of $397 million. The primary cause of this increase was the growth of tire and wheel assemblies, especially to the aftermarket, increased shipment of high performance wire to aircraft manufacturers, and the acquisition of two high speed data cable assembly companies. Segment earnings increased 8% to $66 million in 1999. The main factors in the increase were product line extension and operational improvements at our specialty tire and wheel businesses. Offsetting these improvements were lower earnings at our specialty wire and cable business and Carlisle Industrial Brake & Friction due to less robust markets. In 1998, segment earnings of $61 million increased 29% over 1997 segment earnings of $47 million. This earnings growth was consistent with the increase in sales. Return on assets in 1999 increased to 20% from 19% in 1998. AUTOMOTIVE COMPONENTS In 1999, segment sales increased 16% to $314 million over 1998 sales of $272 million. This growth was the ongoingresult of a very strong automotive and light truck market coupled with new product introductions. Segment sales were up 13% in 1998, over 1997 sales of $241 million. This increase was due to product line extensions, which were offset by the effects of the General Motors (GM) strike. Segment earnings of $21 million represent an increase of 20% over 1998 segment earnings of $18 million. Earnings in 1999 increased due to the impact of the GM strike in 1998 as well as improved product mix. In the fourth quarter, this business was offsetstreamlined and an unprofitable operation eliminated. Earnings in 1998 decreased 5% from the 1997 level of $19 million due primarily to the inefficiencies generated by the rapid ramp-up of production for new programs interrupted by the GM strike in 1998. Return on assets improved from 8% in 1998 to 10% in 1999 as asset efficiency increased and profit margins improved. 13 GENERAL INDUSTRY (ALL OTHER) The General Industry (All Other) segment sales of $364 million were flat with 1998 sales of $363 million. On a pro-forma basis, excluding the effect of the perishable cargo divestiture in January 1999, sales increased 20% over 1998. Sales and earnings at Carlisle Systems & Equipment account for much of the remaining assets of Carlisle Engineered Metals. The 1997 earnings of $49.4 million in this segment were up 13.3% over 1996 earnings of $43.6 million, reflecting improving margins from a changing product mix, improved warranty results and the elimination of lossespro-forma increase, due to the divestitureacquisition of Johnson Truck Bodies as well as internal growth. Carlisle Transportation Products' sales were up over 1998 primarily due to a strong highway construction market. Higher sales were recorded in our foodservice business due to product line expansions in both international and domestic markets. Carlisle FoodService Products completed the metal roofing company. The 1996significant upgrade of a new customer service system, as well as opening two new distribution facilities. Segment sales in 1998 were up 19% over 1997 sales of $325.2 million reflect an$306 million. This increase of 6% over 1995 sales of $308.3 million. An 18.8% jump in 1996 over 1995 earnings is attributablewas related to the increased sales levels and improved operating margins. TRANSPORTATION PRODUCTS segment sales reached $521.2 million in 1997, 40.3%, or $149.7 million, over 1996 sales of $371.5 million. The 1996 sales level is an increase of 33.2%, or $92.7 million over the 1995 level. The increases in 1997 sales reflect the full-year effect of the consolidation of The Engineered Plastics Division of Johnson Controls, acquired in October 1996, with Geauga Company to form Carlisle Engineered Products, Inc., which supplies highly engineered plastic, rubber and metal components to the automotive industry. Also contributing to the 1997 sales growth in this segment are the continued robust sales of aircraft wire, increased direct sales of refrigerated containers, penetration of additional channels of distribution of heavy-duty friction products to the aftermarket, and increasedhigher sales of specialty trailers to construction markets. The 1996 sales increase reflects record sales gains from all operations, and, to a lesser extent, companies acquired in 1996 and 1995. Operating earnings in this segment climbed 64.0%, or 11 $17.6 million, to $45.1 million. This increase reflects the higher level of sales of componentsmarkets, plastic permanentware to the automotivefoodservice industry aircraft wire and specialty trailers, as well asrefrigerated containers to the shipping industry. Segment earnings of $40 million increased margins due to improved manufacturing processes in6% over 1998 segment earnings of $38 million. Pro-forma earnings grew 26%, after excluding the specialty trailerperishable cargo business, and especially in the refrigerated container business. GENERAL INDUSTRY segment sales grew 30.0%, or $96.3 million, to $417.1 million in 1997. This increase isreflecting primarily due to internal growth of tire and wheel assemblies, plastic foodservice products and in-plant processing equipment through expanding our market shares of current products and extending existing products to new markets. The full-year effect of acquisitions made in 1996 and acquisitions made in 1997 account for approximately 29.0% of the increase in 1997 sales in this segment. In 1996,Earnings in 1998 were up 27% over 1997 earnings of $30 million. This growth was due to the general increase in sales, improved manufacturing efficiencies and increased share of the leasing market in our perishable cargo business. Return on assets increased to 15.4% in 1999, from 14.5% in 1998, as a result of improved profit margins. FINANCIAL RESULTS GROSS MARGIN, expressed as a percent of sales, represents the difference between net sales and cost of goods sold. These margins declined from 22.7% of sales in this segment1997 to 21.6% in 1998, and increased 36.0%, or $85.5 million, to $320.8 million, reflecting both growth22.2% in internal businesses1999. The decline from 1997 to 1998 largely reflects the competitive marketplace and acquisitions. Operating earningschanging mix in this segmentCarlisle's total sales. In 1999, improved operational efficiency, as well as improved product mix, accounted for the higher margin rate. SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS, expressed as a percent of sales, declined from 11.4% in 1997 to 10.6% in 1998, but increased 26.3%, or $10.6 million, to $50.9 million,10.8% in 1999, reflecting the higher level of sales. Segment earningscontinued emphasis on cost control throughout all operations and lower cost structures in 1996 were $40.3 million; a 35.9% or $10.6 million increase over 1995 earnings. The increase in 1996 sales results from the contribution of the specialty wheel businesses of Intero and Unique Wheel acquired in March 1996 and from market share gains in the lawn and garden, trailer and golf car markets. FINANCIAL RESULTSCarlisle's overall businesses. TOTAL COSTS, which include raw material, manufacturing, selling, general and administrative costs, expressed as a percentage of total sales, continuedhave remained fairly consistent, decreasing slightly in 1999 to decline89.6% of sales from 90.0% of sales in 1997 to1998 and 89.9% of sales downin 1997. The improvement in this total cost relationship in 1999 was due to improved operating efficiencies. The 1998 decline from 90.5%1997's level of sales in 1996. In 1995, these costs were 90.7% percent of sales. This decline in total costs reflects an ongoing focus on improving purchasing, manufacturing and distribution of products throughout all Carlisle operations. GROSS MARGINS, expressed as a89.9% percent of sales represent what is left after costs of purchasing raw materialswas due to operational improvements offset by the GM strike and of manufacturing products (i.e., cost of goods sold) are subtracted from sales. These margins declined from 24.0% of salesthe change in 1995 to 23.4% in 1996 and 22.7% in 1997. While operations across all segments maintained consistent gross margins generally, this decline largely reflects the changingproduct mix in Carlisle's total sales. In 1997, operations with lower gross margins, but also with lower corresponding selling, general and administrative costs, represent greater proportions of total Carlisle sales. SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE costs, expressed as a percent of sales, declined from 13.3% in 1995 to 12.6% in 1996 and 11.4% in 1997 reflecting both disciplined cost control throughout all operations and the increasing proportion of activities with lower cost structures in Carlisle's overall sales.construction materials operations. INTEREST EXPENSE, increasedNET decreased to $16.5$19.2 million in 19971999 from $9.1$19.7 million in 19961998, due to the lower debt levels maintained throughout the year. Planned capital expenditures and acquisitions were financed through internally generated cash flows. OTHER, NET decreased to $6.1 million in 1995,1999 due to the increasing levelreduction of 12 debt used to finance acquisitions and capital expenditures and relatively constant interest rates.the Company's ownership in its leasing joint venture. INCOME TAXES, for financial reporting purposes, have remained constant atdecreased in 1999 to an effective tax rate of 38.4%, compared to 39.5% in 1998 and 1997. This reduction was the outcome of earnings before tax in 1997, 1996 and 1995, generally reflecting stable Federal andthe implementation of various state tax rates. Taxes are discussed more completelystrategies developed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE were $184.8previous years. RECEIVABLES, of $245 million, reflect an increase of 16.6%9% over the 19961998 level of $158.5$225 million. This increase is consistentwas in line with a higherthe sales growth. The 1998 level of sales, partially offset by an increasing portion of sales from businesses that requirereceivables represented a lower investment in accounts receivable, and an ongoing effort to manage receivables at all operations. The 1996 level of accounts receivable represent a 25.2%22% increase over 1995,1997 levels and iswas primarily attributable to acquisitions made during the year.result of higher December sales. INVENTORIES, valued primarily by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, were $180.3$219 million at year-end 1997,1999, a 31.5%13% increase over 1996the 1998 year-end level of $137.1$194 million. Approximately one-third of thisThe increase isin inventory at year-end was primarily due to higher 14 inventory at specialty tire and wheel and roofing operations in preparation for the spring selling season, as well as from acquisitions made during the year, while normal seasonal buildup, strong demand and backlogs at most operations explain the remaining two-thirds.current year. The year-end 19961998 inventory level increased $15.4 million7% over 1995 levels, or 12.7%,1997, due primarily to acquisitions made during the year. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES totaled $59.5$48 million in 1997,1999, a significant increase over 1996reduction from the $96 million incurred in 1998. The 1999 level was more consistent with previous levels, which reflects a normalized level of $35.0 million. Thiscapital spending. The 1998 increase iswas primarily attributable to investments in injection-moldingproduction capacity in Mexico, expanded warehousing and blow-molding equipment to meet growth opportunities in Carlisle's automotive components operation. Additionally, other significant projects in 1997 includedistribution facilities for our foodservice operation, increased production capacity for tire and wheel assemblies, specialty trailer products, high speed data wire and cable assemblies, and plant and equipment to manufacture insulation and TPO roofing membranes, additional warehousing space for finished specialty tire and wheel assemblies and EPDM roofing products, increased production capacity of heavy-duty friction products, increased capacity to produce Tufflite-TM- wire and in-plant processing equipment for the food and pharmaceutical industries. In 1996, the major projects include equipment to produce a pressure-sensitive tape line for EPDM rubber roofing systems, presses and tire building machines for a specialty tire plant in Trinidad, and cable wrapping equipment for Tufflite-TM- wire.membranes. LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CASH FLOWS provided by operating activities were $83.0increased $39 million to $136 million in 1997, a slight decline1999 from $86.0$97 million in 1996. This decline is primarily due to higher levels of inventories offsetting increases in net earnings and depreciation and amortization charges to earnings. Cash flows from operating activities were $55.7 million in 1995.1998. Cash used in investing activities was $93.2 million;$86 million versus $133 million in 1998, a decrease of $47 million. This decrease was attributable to cash received from the 1996 leveldivestiture of $165.4the perishable cargo business, net of a $39 million resulting from lower levels of acquisitionstax payment, as well as a reduction in 1997 partially offset by the increased level of capital expenditures. In 1995, theThe net cash used in investingfinancing activities in 1999 was $100.7$44 million which includes acquisition expendituresversus cash provided of $67.0 million.$38 million in 1998. The 1999 amount reflects the repayment of short-term borrowings, outstanding at the end of 1998, and dividend payments. The net cash provided by financing activities in 1997 was $3.61998, of $38 million, which reflects increasesthe net increase in debt offset by dividend paymentsafter the early payment of higher cost debt and stock repurchases. The 13 cash provided by financing activities of $84.5 million in 1996 was essentially due to increases in debt financing. Carlisle has a $125.0$125 million revolving credit facility available for acquisitions and general corporate purposes. In January 1997,May 1998, Carlisle issued to the public $150.0$100 million of ten-year bonds at a rate of 7.25%6.70%. The net proceeds from these bonds were used to repay amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility and to fund other needs throughout 1997.1998. The Company's primary sources of liquidity and capital are cash flows from operations and borrowing capacity. Carlisle continues to maintain substantial flexibility to meet anticipated needs for liquidity and capital investment opportunities. Carlisle management recognizes the importance of the Company's responsibilities toward matters of environmental concern. Programs are in place to monitor and test facilities and surrounding environments and, where practical, to recycle materials. Carlisle has not incurred any material charges relating to environmental matters in 19971999 or in prior years, and none are currently anticipated. YEAR 2000 During the last several years, and in the normal course of business, Carlisle has replaced a substantial portion of its older computer software and systems with new systems that are Year 2000 compliant. These investments are expected to assist Carlisle in improving its operational ratios. With respect to the remaining information systems, as well as the Company's embedded technology, the Company adopted a program (involving both internal personnel and third-party consultants) of (i) assessment, (ii) remediation, and (iii) authentication. The Company has completed the assessment phase, the remediation programsphase, and the authentication phase, which included simulated testing in place fora Year 2000 environment. The Company will continue testing its systems throughout the first quarter of 2000. The cost to the Company, of completing these efforts did not exceed $750,000. Carlisle has maintained a formal communication program with its significant suppliers and large customers, which it will conclude in the first quarter of 2000. As part of this program, Carlisle has, and will continue to (1) evaluate the supplier's year 2000 compliance plans and state of readiness and (2) determine whether a year 2000-related event will impede the ability of a particular supplier to continue to provide goods and services. Contingency plans were adopted for any significant supplier that aredid not currentlyprovide an appropriate and timely response to Carlisle or if the results of a risk assessment identified a business process at risk of a Year 2000 compliant. The total costfailure. There were no disruptions to Carlisle businesses as a result of compliance isthe changeover to the Year 2000. However, there can be no guarantee that Year 2000 failures experienced by third parties during the first quarter of 2000 would not expected to have a material impactadverse effect on the Company's operations, liquidityfinancial condition or capital resources. However, we are unable to predict all the implications of the Year 2000 issue as it relates to our customers, suppliers and other entities.operations. 15 BACKLOG AND FUTURE OUTLOOK BACKLOG was $281.6$228 million at December 31, 19971999 compared to $200.8$247 million (excluding Carlisle perishable cargo backlog of $15 million) in 1996. This 40.2% increase in1998. Higher backlog at Carlisle Systems & Equipment and Carlisle FoodService reflects stronger positions at all major operations within the Company, especiallystrong market penetration achieved by these businesses. Automotive Components backlog was down from December 1998 due to the high demand in the containerfourth quarter 1998, created by the GM strike. Also, Construction Materials backlog was down due to reporting enhancements made in conjunction with the implementation of new business software. The elimination of capacity limitations, through significant capital expenditures in 1998 and the continued implementation of lean manufacturing operation. Our companies have developed consistent strategiessystems, allowed more rapid response to grow their businesses both internallycustomer needs and through acquisitions. In 1997, Carlislecontributed to backlog reductions in several businesses. Reduced aerospace wire demand is reflected in the lower backlog. We continue to concentrate on our longstanding operating principles of: targeted market leadership; growth from within; lean organizational structure; low cost, decentralized operations; and strategic acquisitions to achieve our sales and earnings growth objectives. As we move ahead, we are confident that adherence to these principles will bring continued to increase market shares, improve manufacturing processes and target new markets with expanded products to complement the Company's core strengths.operating success. With a record backlog, management is confident that our ongoinggrowing market and a commitment to these proven strategies will yield favorable results in 1998.

See accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. 1820 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Carlisle Companies Incorporated and Subsidiaries SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Investments in affiliates where the Company does not have majority control, none of which are significant, are accounted for under the equity method. Equity income related to such investments is recorded in Other, net. All material intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. REVENUE RECOGNITION. The Company recognizes revenues from product sales upon shipment to the customer. The substantial majority of the Company's product sales are to customers in the United States. USE OF ESTIMATES. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS. Debt securities with a remaining maturity of three months or less when acquired are considered cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value. INVENTORIES. Inventories are valued at lower of cost or market. Cost for inventories is determined for a majority of the Company's inventories by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method with the remainder determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Costs allocated to property, plant and equipment of acquired companies are based on estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. Depreciation is principally computed on the straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Asset lives are 20 to 40 years for buildings, 5 to 15 years for machinery and equipment and 3 to 10 years for leasehold improvements. PATENTS, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES. Patents and other intangibles, recorded at cost, amounted to $5.3$6.6 million and $6.9$4.3 million at December 31, 19971999 and 1996,1998, respectively (net of accumulated amortization of $14.6$16.5 million and $12.8$16.3 million, respectively), and are amortized over their remaining lives, which average five years. Goodwill, representing the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of specifically identifiable assets acquired, was $116.5$151.3 million and $101.8$135.4 million at December 31, 19971999 and 1996,1998, respectively (net of accumulated amortization of $7.8$19.8 million and $3.6$13.6 million, respectively), and is amortized on a straight line basis over various periods not exceeding 30 years. The Company evaluates the recoverabilitycarrying value of goodwill based onand other intangible assets if facts and circumstances suggest that they may be impaired. Impairments would be recognized when the estimated, undiscountedexpected future operating cash flows attributable to the operations with which the goodwillderived from such intangible assets is associated. 19less than their carrying value. 21 PRODUCT WARRANTIES. The Company offers warranties on the sales of certain of its products and records an accrual for estimated future claims. Such accruals are based upon historical experience and management's estimate of the level of future claims. LEASES. The Company is obligated under various noncancelable operating leases for certain facilities and equipment. Rent expense was $8.4 million, $6.6 million and $5.4 million, $2.6 millionin 1999, 1998 and $2.81997, respectively. Future minimum payments under various noncancelable operating leases in each of the next five years are approximately $7.6 million in 1997, 1996,2000, $6.8 million in 2001, $6.0 million in 2002, $5.2 million in 2003 and 1995, respectively.$4.5 million in 2004. INCOME TAXES. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of the differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. These balances are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which such temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. If a portion or all of a deferred tax asset is not expected to be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized. NET EARNINGS PER SHARE. In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued StatementEarnings per share is determined in accordance with STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per Share." SFAS No. 128 replaced the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share.Share". Basic earnings per share excludes the dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive securities that were outstanding during the period. All earnings per share amounts have been presented or restated to conform to the SFAS No. 128 requirements. The only difference between basic and diluted earnings per share of the Company is the effect of dilutive stock options. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS. The estimated fair market values of the Company's financial instruments approximate their recorded values. OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME. The Company has determined the components of other comprehensive income, such as cumulative translation adjustments and minimum pension liability, are not significant. RECLASSIFICATIONS. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years' information to conform to 19971999 presentation. 20OPERATIONAL RESTRUCTURING AND IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS. In January 1999, the Company announced the reduction of its interest in its perishable cargo business, consisting of its container leasing joint venture and container manufacturing operations. On January 28, 1999 the Company sold 85% of its interest in its leasing joint venture. In connection with the reduction in the Company's interest in the leasing joint venture, the Company suspended operations at its container manufacturing facility. As a result, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $16.6 million in the first quarter of 1999. These operations are associated with the Company's General Industry (All Other) segment. In conjunction with the implementation of the 1999 business plan, the Company completed certain product line realignments, manufacturing improvements and facility relocations and upgrades at its operating businesses resulting in certain assets that are no longer required or will be reallocated. In the first quarter of 1999, the Company recognized a $15.9 million pre-tax charge related to these assets. Approximately 75% of this charge related to machinery and equipment primarily associated with the foodservice, roofing, tire and wheel and automotive components manufacturing operations, with the remainder related to goodwill and other intangible assets associated with acquisitions made in prior 22 years. The amount of the charge of machinery and equipment was determined to be the excess of the recorded values over the estimated fair values. The fair values were determined using estimated market values or projected future discounted cash flows, whichever was deemed appropriated. The charge related to the intangible assets was determined as the excess of the recorded value over the projected future undiscounted cash flows. The net effect of the above items is reflected under the caption "gain on divestiture of business, net of other charges" on the face of the Company's Consolidated Statement of Earnings.
