4.   CONTINGENCIES

     On December 13, 1995, the Company initiated a lawsuit in the District
     Court of Dallas County, Texas styled Crain Industries, Inc., f/k/a/ Crain
     Acquisition Corp. v. Dude, Inc., f/k/a/ Crain Industries, Inc., H.C.
     "Dude" Crain, Jr., et al., Cause No. 95-12997, seeking money damages based
     on certain allegations of misrepresentation, fraud, and breach of contract
     in connection with the Acquisition.  In August, 1996, the Company settled
     all litigation with the sole shareholder of the Predecessor.  The
     settlement amounted to a $10.0 million reduction in purchase price through
     the cancellation of a $10.0 million note payable owed to the sole
     shareholder of the Predecessor, which resulted in a purchase price
     adjustment to inventory and goodwill.

5.   ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

     On August 30, 1996, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire
     the assets of the Comfort Clinic Division ("Comfort Clinic") of Bio
     Clinic Corporation, a subsidiary of Sunrise Medical, Inc. for an aggregate
     cash consideration of $14.0 million. The purchase was consummated on
     October 18, 1996, at which time the Company acquired substantially all of
     the assets of Comfort Clinic, assumed certain liabilities and entered into
     certain leases.  Comfort Clinic is a major manufacturer and distributor of
     therapeutic comfort products, primarily mattress pads and pillows.

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
     ---------------------------------------------------

     The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all
     adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments which are, 
     in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of 
     financial position and results of operations.  The results for the two and
     eight months ended August 25, 1995, are not necessarily indicative of the
     results that may be expected for a full fiscal year.

     Financial Statements Presented
     ------------------------------

     Crain Industries, Inc., (an Arkansas corporation) (the "Predecessor") was
     acquired by Crain Industries, Inc., (a Delaware corporation) (the 
     "Company") on August 29, 1995.  The unaudited Condensed Consolidated
     Statements of Operations for the two and eight months ended August 25,
     1995 and the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for
     the eight months ended August 25, 1995 are presented herein to enable the

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 September 30, 1996 and the
unaudited results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 1995,
along with the historical unaudited results of operations for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 and the unaudited results of operations for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995.  Included in the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1995 is the two months and eight months ended August 25, 1995 of
the Predecessor and the one month ended September 30, 1995 of the Company.

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

(1) The Predecessor elected to be taxed under the provision 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; and EBITDA is also one of the financial
    measures in the covenants under the Company's debt instruments.



THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

Net sales for the three-month period ended September 30, 1996 were $83.2
million, up 14.0% over the $73.0 million of sales for the comparable period of
1995.  This sales growth is primarily the result of an increase in carpet pad
prices necessitated by an increase in raw material prices for scrap foam,
which is a major component of carpet cushion, as well as the strong market
penetration of the Company's carpet pad products, combined with strong sales
in the Company's consumer products.

Cost of goods sold for the third quarter of 1996 increased $6.7 million, to
$65.9 million, over the comparable period of 1995.  As a percentage of sales,
cost of goods sold for the three-month period ended September 30, 1996,
improved to 79.2% from 81.1% for the comparable period of 1995.  The increase
in cost of goods sold over the prior year is due to an increase in sales
volume.  The decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales was due
to the cost reduction activities put in place by  new management and a shift
in product mix, along with the benefit of utilizing internally produced scrap
in the production of carpet cushion, during the period of scrap price
increases.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 1996
were $9.1 million, down $1.3 million from the comparable period of 1995. 
Expressed as a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative
expenses decreased to 10.9% for the three months ended September 30, 1996 from
14.3% for the three months ended September 30, 1995.  The decrease in selling,
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales was attributable
to various cost reduction activities implemented by new management, higher
absorption due to the increased sales volume and the elimination of
administrative charges incurred by the Predecessor associated with the sale of
the Company.

<PAGE>

Interest expense increased to $3.1 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 from $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30,
1995.  The $1.9 million represents $.7 million for the Predecessor's two
months ended August 25, 1995 and $1.2 million for the Company's one month
ended September 30, 1995.  The increase in interest expense is the result of
the higher debt levels associated with the acquisition.


NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

Net sales for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1996 were $226.2
million or a 12.6% increase over the $200.9 million of sales for the
comparable period in 1995.  This sales growth is primarily the result of a
price increase necessitated by an increase in higher raw material prices, as
well as the strong market penetration of the Company's carpet pad and consumer
products.

Cost of goods sold for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1996
increased $16.0 million, to $180.1 million, over the comparable period of
1995.  As a percentage of sales, cost of goods sold for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 1996 improved to 79.6% from 81.7% for the comparable
period of 1995.  The increase in cost of goods sold over the prior year is due
to an increase in sales volume and raw material costs.  The decrease in cost
of goods sold as a percentage of sales was due to the cost reduction
activities put in place by new management and a shift in product mix, as well
as the benefit of utilizing internally produced scrap for use in the
production of carpet cushion, during the period of raw material price
increases.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 1996 were $25.2 million, down $0.1 million from the comparable
period of 1995.  Expressed as a percentage of sales, selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased to 11.1% for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1996, from 12.6% for the nine-months ended September 30, 1995. 
The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage
of sales was attributable to the higher absorption of fixed costs due to the
increased sales volume and various cost reduction activities implemented by
new management, along with increased administrative charges incurred by the
Predecessor associated with the sale of the Company.

Interest expense increased to $10.9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 from $3.6 million for the nine month period ended September
30, 1995. The $3.6 million represents $2.4 million for the Predecessor's eight
months ended August 25, 1995 and $1.2 million for the Company's one month
ended September 30, 1995.  The increase in interest expense is the 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") and
under the Company's revolving credit agreement (the "Revolving Facility"),
represent significant obligations of the Company.  The Notes require
semiannual interest payments of approximately $6.8 million, on each February
15 and August 15.  Borrowings under the Revolving Facility 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
nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company spent approximately $8.9
million on capital projects, compared to $5.4 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.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $7.2 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996, which compares to $7.6 million provided by operating
activities for the comparable period of 1995.  The fluctuation is due to the
increase in accounts receivable, partially offset by the increased levels of
payables during 1996, both of which are attributable to increased volumes and
timing of collections and payments.  Cash used in investing activities was
$8.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to $132.2
million of cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995.  The $132.2 million of cash expended during the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 consists primarily of cash paid in association
with the acquisition along with routine capital expenditures.  Cash provided by
financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 in the amount
of $1.5 million represents a draw down on the Revolving Facility.

PART II.   OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

     On December 13, 1995, the Company initiated a lawsuit in the District
     Court of Dallas County, Texas styled Crain Industries, Inc., f/k/a/ Crain
     Acquisition Corp. v. Dude, Inc., f/k/a/ Crain Industries, Inc., H.C.
     "Dude" Crain, Jr., et al., Cause No. 95-12997, seeking money damages based
     on certain allegations of misrepresentation, fraud, and breach of contract
     in connection with the Acquisition.  In August, 1996, the Company settled 
     all litigation with the Predecessor owner of Crain.  The settlement 
     amounted to a $10.0 million reduction in purchase price through the 
     cancellation of a $10.0 million note payable owed to the Predecessor 
     owner, which resulted in a purchase price adjustment to goodwill and 
     inventory.
