1995,  reflects  adjustments  made  to properly reflect the performance of the
Predecessor for its fiscal year ended August 25, 1995.


Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The unaudited interim condensed 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
condition  and  results  of  operations.   The results for the three and six
months  ended  June  30, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for a full fiscal year.

Statement of Cash Flows

Interest  paid  for  the   six  months  ended  June 30,  1996  and   1995,  is
approximately $7,300 and $1,798 respectively.    Income taxes paid for the six
months  ended  June  30,   1996  and  1995,  is  approximately  $75  and  $348
respectively.

Income Taxes

The  Company  accounts  for income taxes, in accordance with the provisions of
SFAS  No.  109.    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 payments of taxes thereon.

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  June 30, 1996 and the
unaudited  results  of the Predecessor's operations for the three months ended
June  30,  1995, along with the historical unaudited results of operations for
the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1996  and  the  unaudited  results  of the
Predecessor's operations for the six months ended June 30, 1995.

<PAGE>

                   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;   however,  EBITDA   is  also  one  of  the  financial
    measures in the covenants under the Company's debt instruments.



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

Net Sales

Net  sales  for the three-month period ended June 30, 1996 were $72.7 million,
up 13.6% over the $64.0 million of sales of the Predecessor for the comparable
period of 1995.  This sales growth is primarily the result of a price increase
for  foam  along  with  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.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost  of  goods sold for the second quarter of 1996 increased $5.5 million, to
$58.0  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 June
30, 1996, improved to 79.8% from 81.9% 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, along with the benefit of utilizing
internally  produced scrap for use in the production of carpet cushion, during
the period of temporary scrap price increases.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling,  general  and  administrative expenses for the second quarter of 1996
were  $7.9  million,  up  $0.9  million  from  the comparable period of 1995. 
Expressed  as  a  percentage  of  sales,  selling,  general and administrative
expenses  decreased  to  10.8%  for  the three months ended June 30, 1996 from
10.9%  for  the  three  months  ended June 30, 1995.  The decrease in selling,
general  and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales was attributable
to  the  absorption  of  fixed  costs  and  various  cost reduction activities
implemented by new management.

Interest Expense

Interest  expense  increased to $3.8 million  for the  three months ended June
30,  1996  from  $0.8  million  for the three months ended June 30, 1995, as a
result of the higher debt levels associated with the Acquisition.


SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

Net Sales

Net  sales for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 were $143.0 million or
an  11.7% increase over the $127.9 million of sales of the Predecessor 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 retail
products.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 increased $9.3
million,  to  $114.2  million,  over  the  comparable  period  of  1995 for the
Predecessor.    As a percentage of sales, cost of goods sold for the six-month
period  ended  June  30,  1996 improved to 79.9% from 82.0% 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

Selling,  general  and  administrative expenses for the six-month period ended
June  30,  1996 were $16.1 million, up $1.3 million from the comparable period
of  1995.    Expressed  as  a  percentage  of  sales,  selling,  general  and
administrative expenses decreased to 11.3% for the six month period ended June
30,  1996, from 11.6% for the six-months ended June 30, 1995.  The decrease in
selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  as a percentage of sales was
attributable  to  the  absorption  of  fixed  costs and various cost reduction
activities implemented by new management.

Interest Expense

Interest  expense  increased to $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
1996  from  $1.7  million  for  the six month period ended June 30, 1995, as a
result of the higher debt levels associated with the Acquisition.

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 $0.7
million,  respectively,  on  each February 15 and August 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
six  months  ended  June  30,  1996,  the  Company  spent  approximately  $4.8
million  on  capital  projects,  while  the  Predecessor spent $4.0 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 six months ended June 30, 1996
was  $10.2  million,  an  increase  of $4.6 million from the Predecessor's six
months  ended June 30, 1995.  The increase in operating cash flows compared to
the  six  months  ended  June  30, 1995 was primarily due to the Predecessor's
increased  levels  of  inventory  and a decrease in the Predecessor's accounts
payable.    Cash  used  in  investing  activities was $4.8 million for the six
months  ended  June  30,  1996.  The use of $4.8 million in cash for investing
activities  represents an increase from the Predecessor's expenditures of $4.0
million  for  the  six  months  ended  June 30, 1995.  This increase is due to
higher   capital   costs   incurred   for   costs   associated  with  facility
consolidations.    Cash used for financing activities for the six months ended
June  30,  1996  in  the  amount  of $4.9 million represents a pay down of the
Revolving Facility.
