adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of financial

of SFAS No. 109.  The Predecessor elected to be taxed under the provisions of

PART I
                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

The following comments should be used in reviewing the discussion and analysis
of results of operations and liquidity and capital resources.  Crain
Industries, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) (the "Company") was organized in
May, 1995 for the purpose of accomplishing the acquisition of certain assets
and liabilities of Crain Industries, Inc. (an Arkansas corporation) (the
"Predecessor") (the "Acquisition") and prior to the Acquisition, the Company
was not engaged in any activities other than those incidental to the
Acquisition.  The Company has accounted for the Acquisition in accordance with
the purchase method of accounting.

The Company believes that the operating results of the Predecessor are not
directly comparable to the Company's operating results for post-Acquisition
periods due to, among other things, (i) purchase accounting adjustments
relating to the Acquisition, including the amortization of goodwill and
intangibles, (ii) increases in interest expense relating to the financing of
the Company and (iii) anticipated cost savings resulting from the elimination
of certain expenses related to the sole shareholder of the Predecessor.

Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis is based on the historical unaudited
results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and the
unaudited results of the Predecessor's operations for the three months ended
March 31, 1995.

(1) The predecessor elected to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of
    the Internal Revenue Code.  Accordingly, taxable income of the Predecessor
    was allocated to the sole shareholder of the Predecessor who was
    responsible for  the payment of taxes thereon.

(2) Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA")is
    not a defined term under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP")
    and is not an alternative to operating income or cash flow from operations
    as determined under GAAP.  The Company believes that EBITDA provides
    additional information for determining its ability to meet future debt
    requirements; however, EBITDA does not reflect cash available to fund cash
    requirements.  EBITDA is also one of the financial measures in the
    covenants under the Company's debt instruments.
</TABLE>


THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 COMPARED TO THE
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995

Net Sales

Net Sales for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 were $70.2 million
or a 9.9% increase over the $63.9 million of sales of the Predecessor for the
comparable period in 1995. This sales growth was due primarily to an increase in
prices, necessitated by an increase in higher raw material prices, as well as
the strong market penetration of the Company's carpet pad products.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the first quarter of 1996 increased $3.8 million, 
to $56.2 million, over the comparable period of 1995 for the Predecessor.  As a
percentage of sales, cost of goods sold for the three month period ended 
March 31, 1996 declined to 80.0% from 82.1% for the comparable period of 1995.  
The increase in cost of goods sold over the prior year was due to an increase in
sales volume and raw material costs.  The decrease in cost of goods sold as a
the percentage of sales was due to the cost reduction activities put in place by
new management and a shift in product mix.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 1996
were $8.2 million, up $0.4 million from the comparable period of 1995. 
Expressed as a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative
expenses decreased to 11.7% for the three months ended March 31, 1996 from
12.3% for the three months ended March 31, 1995.  The decrease in selling,
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales is due to the
absorption of fixed costs and various cost reduction activities implemented by
new management.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased from $.9 million for the three months ended March
31, 1995 to $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996, as a
result of the higher debt levels associated with the Acquisition.


<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Interest payments on the Company's Senior Subordinated Notes(the "Notes"), on
the promissory note held by the Predecessor ("Predecessor Note"), and under
the Company's revolving credit agreement (the "Revolving Facility"), represent
significant obligations of the Company.  The Notes and the Predecessor Note
require semiannual interest payments of approximately $6.8 million and $.7
million, respectively, on each August 15 and February 15. Borrowings under the
Revolving Facility will bear interest at floating rates and require interest
payments on varying dates.  All amounts under the Revolving Facility
outstanding will mature in 2000.

In addition to its debt service obligations, the Company's remaining liquidity
demands are for capital expenditures and for working capital needs.  For the
three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company spent approximately $2.0
million on capital projects, while the Predecessor spent $2.1 million on
capital projects for the comparable period of 1995.  The Company expects to
spend approximately $6.0 million to $10.0 million annually on capital
projects, of which approximately $3.0 million will be used for maintaining
facilities and equipment.

Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31,
1996 was $3.4 million, a decrease of $1.0 million from the three months ended
March 31, 1995.  The decline in operating cash flows compared to the three
months ended March 31, 1995 was primarily due to the increase in accounts
payable and accruals of $3.8 million by the Predecessor during the period. 
Cash used in investing activities was $2.0 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1996.  The use of $2.0 million in cash for investing activities
represents capital expenditures and is comparable to the Predecessor's capital
expenditures of $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995.  Cash
used for financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 1996 in the
amount of $1.6 million represents a pay down of the Revolving Facility, and is
comparable to the Predecessor's three months ended March 31, 1995.

                                  RECITALS:

      A.  Borrower, the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Banks have entered

referred to as the "Agreement").

      B.  Borrower has advised the Agent that it desires to acquire pursuant
to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement among Capital Foam Products, Inc., a
New Jersey corporation ("Capital Foam"), Bart Krupp and the Borrower (the

forth in the Agreement, as amended hereby.

quarter ending in December 1995 multiplied by two, and (ii) the actual
annualized amount of Interest Expense for the quarter or quarters then ended.
