                               SLEEPMASTER L.L.C.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Sleepmaster L.L.C. ("Sleepmaster") and all majority-owned
domestic and foreign subsidiaries (the "Company"). All material intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated. The interim statements are
unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair
presentation of the Company's financial position as of June 30, 2000 and the
results of its operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The
condensed consolidated balance sheet data at December 31, 1999 is derived from
the audited financial statements which are included in the Company's Form 10-K/A
for the year ended December 31, 1999 and which should be read in connection with
these financial statements. In accordance with the rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, these financial statements do not include all disclosures
required by generally accepted accounting principles.

         Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other
interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2000.

         Certain reclassifications of previously reported financial information
were made to conform to the 2000 presentation.

2. ACQUISITIONS

         On April 28, 2000, Sleepmaster acquired all the capital stock of Simon
Mattress Manufacturing Co. ("Simon ")for approximately $42,164,000 in cash.
Sleepmaster financed the acquisition using proceeds from a second amended and
restated credit facility.

         On June 30, 2000, Sleepmaster acquired all the capital stock of
Crescent Sleep Products Company ("Crescent") for approximately $117,539,000 in
cash and the assumption of $8,900,000 of industrial revenue bonds. Sleepmaster
financed the acquisition using proceeds from a third amended and restated credit
facility, the issuance of an additional $25,000,000 of senior subordinated
notes, and $41,500,000 of equity from a group of investors and certain members
of Crescent's management.

         These acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method and,
accordingly, Simon's and Crescent's results are included in the consolidated
financial statements since their respective dates of acquisition. The assets
acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded at their estimated fair
values at the dates of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the
estimated fair values of the net assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill
and is being amortized over 40 years.

         A summary of the purchase price allocations (in thousands) is as
follows:

</TABLE>

         The purchase price, in excess of the fair values of assets and
liabilities acquired of both Simon and Crescent, has been allocated to goodwill
in the balance sheet at June 30, 2000. The Company believes that the only
identifiable intangible asset to which the purchase price will be allocated is
the Serta license acquired. Furthermore, the Company believes that amortization
period for the license is the same as the amortization period for goodwill. The
Company is currently in the process of determining the appropriate amounts which
will be allocated to the licenses.

5.  DEBT

         On April 28, 2000, the Company expanded and restated its existing
credit facility to provide for an aggregate amount of borrowings of up to
$103,875,000, comprising a $33,000,000 revolving credit facility, a $35,875,000
amortizing term loan facility and a $35,000,000 incremental amortizing term
loan facility (the "Second Amended and Restated Credit Facility"). The terms of
the Second Amended and Restated Credit Facility were substantially equivalent
to those of the prior facility. Borrowings under the Second Amended and
Restated Credit Facility were used to finance the acquisition of Simon.

         On June 30, 2000, in connection with the acquisition of Crescent, the
Company issued an additional $25,000,000 of 13.4% senior subordinated notes due
November, 2009. Also on June 30, 2000, the Company entered into a third amended
and

                                       7
<PAGE>   8

restated credit agreement to provide for an aggregate amount of borrowings of
up to $172,500,000, comprising a $40,000,000 5.5 year revolving credit
facility, a 5.5 year Tranche A term loan of $57,500,000 and a 6.5 year Tranche
B term loan of $75,000,000 (the "Third Amended and Restated Credit Facility").
This new facility includes a letter of credit sublimit of $25,000,000.
Borrowings under this credit facility bear interest at floating rates based on
LIBOR or applicable alternative base rates. Sleepmaster financed the
acquisition of Crescent using proceeds from the Third Amended and Restated
Credit Facility, the issuance of the $25,000,000 of senior subordinated notes,
and $41,500,000 of equity from a group of investors and certain members of
Crescent's management.

         In connection with the Third Amended and Restated Credit Facility, the
Company wrote-off unamortized debt issuance costs. One bank included in the
syndication of banks which were part of the Second Amended and Restated Credit
Facility did not continue in the syndication of banks in connection with the
Third Amended and Restated Credit Facility and its debt was extinguished. An
extraordinary loss of $208,000, net of the associated income tax, was recorded
in connection with this extinguishment.  In accordance with the Emerging Issues
Task Force No. 98-14, for three banks which continued with the syndication of
banks in connection with the Third Amended and Restated Credit Facility, a
charge to interest expense of $564,000 to write-off unamortized debt issuance
costs was recorded.


6. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In December 1999, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission
issued SAB 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements", which addressed
some of the staff's concerns over the application of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles for revenue recognition. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact, if any, of SAB 101, as amended, on its results of
operations.

         In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal
quarters beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 requires that all
derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current
earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is
designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge
transaction. The Company presently does not have any derivative instruments or
hedging activities and, consequently, SFAS No. 133 is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or
cash flow.

7.  SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

         The Company recorded a charge to retained earnings (deficit)
of $1,221,000 and $1,111,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and
1999, respectively, representing the accretion of redeemable cumulative
preferred interests at a compounded annual rate of 12%.


8.  GUARANTOR/NON-GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION

         As of May 18, 1999 and June 30, 2000, Sleepmaster and each of its
domestic  wholly owned subsidiaries ("Guarantor Subsidiaries") fully and
unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, the obligation to pay
principal  and interest with respect to the $115,000,000 of 11% senior
subordinated notes due 2009 and the $25,000,000 of 13.4% senior subordinated
notes  due 2009 (the "Notes"), respectively. The Company generates funds
necessary to satisfy its debt service obligations from either its own operations
or by distributions or advances from its subsidiaries. There are no contractual
or legal restrictions that could limit the Company's ability to obtain cash from
its  subsidiaries for the purpose of meeting its debt service obligations,
including the payment of principal and interest on the Notes. Although holders
of the  Notes will be direct creditors of Sleepmaster's principal direct
subsidiaries by virtue of the guarantees, Sleepmaster has a foreign subsidiary
("Non-Guarantor Subsidiary") that is not included among the Guarantor
Subsidiaries and such subsidiary will not be obligated with respect to the
Notes. As a consequence, the claims of creditors of the Non-Guarantor Subsidiary
will  effectively have priority with respect to the assets and earnings of this
subsidiary over the claims of creditors of Sleepmaster, including the holders of
the Notes.


         The following supplemental condensed consolidating financial statements
present:

         1. Condensed consolidating balance sheets as of June 30, 2000 and
         December 31, 1999; condensed consolidating statements of income for
         the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively;
         condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the six months
         ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.

         2. Sleepmaster, combined Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor
         Subsidiary with their investments in subsidiaries accounted for using
         the equity method.

         3. Elimination entries necessary to consolidate Sleepmaster and all of
         its subsidiaries.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

         The following discussion of the Company's results of operations and of
its liquidity and capital resources should be read in conjunction with the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and the related Notes
thereto included elsewhere herein.

GENERAL

         Sleepmaster acquired the stock of Crescent on June 30, 2000, the stock
of Simon on April 28, 2000, substantially all of the assets of Adam Wuest on
November 5, 1999, substantially all of the assets of Star on May 18, 1999 and
the stock of Herr on February 26, 1999. Each of these acquisitions has been
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The Company's historical
results of operations reflect the results of the acquired businesses since their
respective dates of acquisition. Therefore, the historical operating results of
the Company for the periods presented are not necessarily comparable.

QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AS COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

         Net Sales. Net sales increased 60.1%, or $23.9 million, to $63.7 for
the quarter ended June 30, 2000, from $39.8 million for the quarter ended June
30, 1999. A significant portion of the increase was due to the contribution of
net sales from Star, acquired on May 18, 1999, Adam Wuest, acquired on November
5, 1999 and Simon, acquired on April 28, 2000. Net sales contributed by Star,
Adam Wuest and Simon in the second quarter of 2000 were $24.9 million. Excluding
these acquisitions, net sales increased by 3.5%, or $1.3 million, for the second
quarter of 2000. Generally, higher unit sales volumes and higher average unit
selling prices resulting from shifts in product sales mix toward higher priced
products contributed to this increase.

         Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased 58.4%, or $14.5 million, to
$39.3 for the second quarter of 2000, from $24.8 million for the second quarter
of 1999. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased from 62.4% in 1999
to 61.7% in 2000. Margins were favorably impacted by Sleepmaster successfully
obtaining volume-related cost savings on raw material purchases as a result of
the acquisitions of Star, Adam Wuest and Simon. This impact was offset by an
increase in direct labor costs.

         Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased 68.2%, or $6.7 million, to $16.5
million for the second quarter of 2000 from $9.8 million for the similar period
of 1999. The increase in SG&A is primarily due to the SG&A associated with the
Company's acquisitions of Star, Adam Wuest and Simon. SG&A as a percentage of
sales increased to 26.0% in the second quarter of 2000 from 24.7% in the second
quarter of 1999. This increase is primarily attributable to the increase in
corporate costs associated with the aforementioned acquisitions.

         Amortization of Intangibles. Amortization of intangibles increased $0.6
million to $1.0 million for the second quarter of 2000 from $0.4 for the second
quarter of 1999. The increase is a result of the intangible assets acquired in
connection with the acquisitions of Star, Adam Wuest and Simon.

         Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense increased $3.0 million to $5.8
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from $2.8 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 1999. This increase was due primarily to the cost of additional
debt financing incurred for the acquisitions of Adam Wuest and Simon, the
issuance of senior subordinated notes on May 18, 1999 and the writeoff of $0.6
million of unamortized debt issuance costs in the second quarter of 2000 which
is not considered to be extraordinary.

         Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes resulted in
an effective tax rate of 39.1% in the second quarter of 2000, down from 47.0% in
the second quarter of 1999. The effective tax rate decreased due to the
expansion of business activities into lower tax jurisdictions as a result of the
aforementioned acquisitions.

         Extraordinary Items. The extraordinary item recorded in the second
quarter of 2000 consisted of a write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs of
$346,000 and was recorded in connection with the Company's third amended credit
facility. The extraordinary item recorded in the second quarter of 1999
consisted of the payment of $3.6 million in premiums on the redemption of $20
million in aggregate principal amount of Series A and Series B 12% Subordinated
Notes and repayment of $69.2 million of borrowings under the Company's former
credit facility, together with the write-off of $1.8 million of unamortized debt
issuance costs relating to such redemption and repayment on May 18, 1999

         Net Income. As a result of the above factors, net income increased by
$2.6 million, to $0.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 compared to
the net loss of $2.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999.


SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AS COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

         Net Sales. Net sales increased 62.4%, or $46.2 million, to $120.2 for
the six months ended June 30, 2000, from $74.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999. A significant portion of the increase was due to the contribution
of net sales from Herr, acquired on February 26, 1999, Star, acquired on May 18,
1999, Adam Wuest, acquired on November 5, 1999 and Simon, acquired on April 28,
2000. Net sales contributed by Herr, Star, Adam Wuest and Simon for the six
months were $53.2 million. Excluding these acquisitions, net sales increased by
5.0%, or $3.2 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Generally, higher
unit sales volumes and higher average unit selling prices resulting from shifts
in product sales mix toward higher priced products contributed to this increase.

         Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased 61.8%, or $28.5 million, to
$74.5 for the first half of 2000, from $46.1 million for the first half of 1999.
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased slightly from 62.3% in 1999
to 62.0% in 2000. Margins were favorably impacted by Sleepmaster successfully
obtaining volume-related cost savings on raw material purchases as a result of
the acquisitions of Star, Adam Wuest and Simon. This impact was offset by an
increase in direct labor costs.

         Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased 69.0%, or $12.6 million, to $30.8
million for the first half of 2000 from $18.2 million for the similar period
of 1999. The increase in SG&A is primarily due to the SG&A associated with the
Company's acquisitions of Herr, Star, Adam Wuest and Simon. SG&A as a percentage
of sales increased to 25.6% in 2000 from 24.6% in 1999. This increase is
primarily attributable to the increase in corporate costs associated with the
aforementioned acquisitions.

         Amortization of Intangibles. Amortization of intangibles increased $1.1
million to $1.9 million for the first half of 2000 from $0.8 for the similar
period of 1999. The increase is a result of the intangible assets acquired in
connection with the acquisitions of Herr, Star, Adam Wuest and Simon.

         Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense increased $5.4 million to $10.3
million for the first half of 2000 from $4.9 million for the first half of 1999.
This increase was due primarily to the cost of additional debt financing
incurred for the acquisitions of Adam Wuest and Simon, the issuance of senior
subordinated notes on May 18, 1999 and the write-off of $0.6 million of
unamortized debt issuance costs in the first half of 2000 which is not
considered to be extraordinary.

         Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes resulted in
an effective tax rate of 39.1% in the first half of 2000, down from 43.3% in the
first half of 1999. The effective tax rate decreased due to the expansion of
business activities into lower tax jurisdictions as a result of the

         Extraordinary Items. The extraordinary item recorded in the first half
of 2000 consisted of a write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs of $346,000
and was recorded in connection with the Company's third amended credit facility.
The extraordinary item recorded in the first half of 1999 consisted of the
payment of $3.6 million in premiums on the redemption of $20 million in
aggregate principal amount of Series A and Series B 12% Subordinated Notes and
repayment of $69.2 million of borrowings under the Company's former credit
facility, together with the write-off of $1.8 million of unamortized debt
issuance costs relating to such redemption and repayment on May 18, 1999.

         Net Income. As a result of the above factors, net income increased by
$2.3 million, to $1.4 million for the first half of 2000 compared to a net loss
of $0.9 million for the first half of 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's principal source of cash to fund its liquidity needs is
net cash provided by operating activities and availability under its current
credit facility. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $10.6 million to $13.4
million as of June 30, 2000 from $2.8 million at December 31, 1999. Net cash
provided by operating activities totaled $19.8 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 compared to $4.2 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The
increase in cash flows from operations is primarily a result of the acquisitions
of Herr, Star, Adam Wuest and Simon. During the first half of 1999 and 2000, net
cash of $23.3 million and $153.7 million was provided by financing activities
and arose primarily from borrowings under increased credit facilities to acquire
Herr, Adam Wuest, Simon and Crescent.

         Capital expenditures totaled $2.0 million for the six months ended June
30, 2000. These capital expenditures consisted primarily of normal recurring
capital expenditures. Management expects that capital expenditures at all of its
existing facilities will be approximately $4.5 million in 2000. Management
believes that annual capital expenditure limitations under its current credit
facility will not significantly inhibit Sleepmaster from meeting its capital
needs.

         On April 28, 2000, Sleepmaster amended and restated its existing credit
facility to provide for borrowings of up to $103,875,000, comprising a
$33,000,000 revolving credit facility, a $35,875,000 amortizing term loan
facility and a $35,000,000 incremental amortizing term loan facility (the
"Second Amended and Restated Credit Facility"). The terms of the Second Amended
and Restated Credit Facility were substantially equivalent to those of the prior
facility.

         On June 30, 2000, the Company issued an additional $25,000,000 of 13.4%
senior subordinated notes due November 2009. Sleepmaster used the proceeds of
the senior subordinated notes to acquire all the capital stock of Crescent. Also
on June 30, 2000, in connection with the acquisition of Crescent, the Company
entered into a third amended and restated credit agreement to provide for an
aggregate amount of borrowings of up to $172,500,000, comprising a $40,000,000
revolving credit facility, a Tranche A term loan of $57,500,000 and a Tranche B
term loan of $75,000,000 (the "Third Amended and Restated Credit Facility").
Similar to the prior credit facility, the revolving credit facility includes a
sublimit for letters of credit. This new facility includes a letter of credit
sublimit of $25,000,000. At June 30, 2000, the Company had approximately $17.4
million available under its revolving credit facility with letters of credit
issued totaling approximately $18.6 million.

         Management believes that cash flows generated from operations, together
with its borrowing capacity, are sufficient to support the Company's operations
and general business and liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future.

YEAR 2000

         In order to minimize or eliminate  the effect of the Year 2000 risk on
the Company's business systems and applications, the Company identified,
evaluated, implemented  and  tested  changes  to its  computer  systems,
applications  and software  necessary to achieve Year 2000  compliance.  The
computer  systems and equipment successfully transitioned to the Year 2000 with
no significant issues. The  Company  continues  to keep its Year 2000  project
management  in place to monitor latent problems that could surface at key dates
or events in the future. Management does not anticipate any significant
problems related to these events. The total cost of the Year 2000 compliance
program was  approximately  $650,000 and was incurred  principally during the
first two quarters of 1999. The Company expensed and capitalized the costs to
complete its compliance plan in accordance with appropriate accounting
policies.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         The Company is exposed to market risk from fluctuations in interest
rates, which could impact its consolidated financial position, results of
operations and cash flows. The Company manages its exposure to market risk
through its regular operating and financing activities. The Company does not
use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes and
does not maintain such instruments that may expose the Company to significant
market risk.

         The Company's earnings are sensitive to changes in short-term
interest rates as a result of its borrowings under the amended and
restated credit facility. The Company also manages its portfolio of
fixed-rate debt to reduce its exposure to interest rate changes. The
fair value of the Company's fixed-rate long-term debt is sensitive to
interest rate changes. Interest rate changes would result in gains or losses
in the fair value of this debt due to differences between market interest
rates and rates at the inception of the obligation. Management does not
foresee nor expect any significant changes in its exposure to interest rate
fluctuations, or in how such exposure is managed in the near future.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISK FACTORS

         This document contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Although the Company believes its plans are based
upon reasonable assumptions as of the current date, it can give no
assurance that such expectations can be attained. Factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations
include; general business and economic conditions; competitive factors;
raw materials availability and pricing; fluctuations in demand; and
retention and availability of qualified employees.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

that none of these actions will have a material adverse effect on the financial
position, results of operations or cash flows, of the Company.
