THE FOTHERGILL TYGAFLOR DIVISION DID NOT MAINTAIN ITS OWN BANK ACCOUNT BUT
UTILISED THE TOTAL FACILITIES OF THE PERFORMANCE FABRICS DIVISION.  FOR THE
PURPOSES OF THESE ACCOUNTS IT HAS BEEN ASSUMED THAT THE DIVISION HAD NO CASH 
AND BANK BALANCE AS AT 1 APRIL 1993.  THE NET CASH INFLOWS IN THE YEAR TO 31 
MARCH 1994 AND THE PERIOD TO 17 FEBRUARY 1995 ARE REFLECTED IN THE CASH AND 
BANK BALANCES AS AT THOSE DATES.

3. TAXATION

THE TAXATION CHARGES IN THE PERIOD ENDED 17 FEBRUARY 1995 AND THE YEAR ENDED 
31 MARCH 1994 ARE NOTIONAL CHARGES (SEE NOTE 1 TO THE ACCOUNTS).

TAXATION DUE IN RESPECT OF EARLIER PERIODS HAS NOT BEEN CALCULATED.  AS A 
RESULT NO PAYMENT OF CORPORATION TAX IS SHOWN IN THE CASH FLOW STATEMENT FOR 
THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 1994.


NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
as at 17 February 1995


1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
       
Basis of preparation

Prior to 17 February 1995 the business was part of the Performance Fabrics
Division of Courtaulds Aerospace Limited.  These accounts have been prepared on
the basis of the results and balances of the Performance Fabrics Division that
were included in the statutory accounts for Courtaulds Aerospace Limited for 
the year ended 31 March 1994 and the management accounts of the Performance 
Fabrics Division for the period ended 17 February 1995.  The results and 
balances relating to the Fothergill Tygaflor division have been extracted 
from those accounts.

Allocation of common costs

Certain of the operating costs of the Performance Fabrics Division were not
specifically identified as relating to either the Fothergill Tygaflor division 
or the other parts of the Division.  These common costs have been allocated to 
the business on the basis considered most appropriate.  These bases include 
turnover, headcount and site occupancy.

Accounting convention

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in
accordance with applicable United Kingdom accounting standards.  

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets
by equal instalments over their estimated useful lives at the following rates:

Motor vehicles          20% per annum
Plant and machinery     10% per annum
Micro computers         33 1/3% per annum
Mini computers          20% per annum
Fixtures and fittings   10% per annum

Depreciation is charged in the financial year following the year in which 
assets are brought in to use, except for motor vehicles, which are depreciated 
as from the year in which they are brought in to use.  A full year's 
depreciation is charged in the year of disposal.  All computer software is 
expensed on receipt and not capitalised and depreciated.

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost incurred in bringing each product to its
present location and condition, and net realisable value as follows:

Raw materials, consumables and goods for resale - purchase cost on a first-in,
                                                  first-out basis

Work in progress and finished goods             - cost of direct materials and 
                                                  labour plus attributable 
                                                  overheads based on a normal
                                                  level of activity.

Net realisable value is based on estimated selling price less any further costs
expected to be incurred to completion and disposal.


Taxation

The division has never incurred charges in respect of taxation as this was
previously accounted for by Courtaulds Aerospace Limited.  For the purpose of
these accounts a notional tax charge has been calculated.  These charges are
based on the results for the periods adjusted to reflect the different 
treatment of certain items for taxation purposes and the rates of UK 
corporation taxation.  

It has been assumed that the notional taxation charges calculated were paid 
nine months after the end of the financial year.

Deferred taxation

Notional deferred taxation is provided using the liability method on all timing
differences which are expected to reverse in the future without being replaced,
calculated at the rate at which it is anticipated the timing differences will
reverse. 

Foreign currencies

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into pounds stlg 
at the rate of exchange ruling at the period end or more usually at the forward 
cover rate.  Profits and losses on exchange arising in the normal course of 
trading are dealt with in the profit and loss account.

Leases

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss
account in the period in which they fall due.

Pensions costs

The expected cost of pensions is charged to the profit and loss account so as 
to spread the cost of pensions over the service life of employees in the 
pension scheme.  Variations from the regular cost are spread over the expected 
remaining service lives of current employees in the scheme.

Research and development

Expenditure on research and development is charged to the profit and loss
account in the year in which it is incurred.

2. TURNOVER

Turnover represents the net invoiced value of goods and services sold, 
excluding value added tax.

14.    ULTIMATE HOLDING COMPANY 
Prior to 17 February 1995 the division was part of Courtaulds Aerospace Limited
which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Courtaulds plc, a company incorporated in
the United Kingdom.

15.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The division purchases high performance fabric and other raw material from
fellow divisions of Courtaulds plc.  These purchases are recorded at cost and 
do not include any commercial margin.  The total of such purchases in the 
period ended 17 February 1995 were Pounds Stlg 710,000 and in the year ended 
31 March 1994 were Pounds Stlg 605,000. The amounts due to fellow divisions 
at 17 February 1995 was Pounds Stlg 175,000 and at 31 March 1994 was Pounds 
Stlg 132,000.

16.    PENSIONS
Eligible employees are members of the Courtaulds plc defined benefit pension
scheme with assets held in separate trustee administered funds. 

The scheme was valued by independent actuaries as at 31 March 1993.  

The valuation used the projected unit method and was carried out on two 
different bases, using a conservative set of actuarial assumptions for funding 
purposes and a best estimate set for accounting purposes (as required by SSAP 
24). After allowing for benefit improvements announced in December 1993, and 
future increases in pensionable remuneration, the actuarial value of the assets 
was sufficient to cover the benefits that had accrued to members by 114% on the 
funding basis and by 124% on the SSAP 24 basis.  The market value of the Scheme 
assets at the date of the valuation was Pounds Stlg 883 million.  The principal 
actuarial assumptions used in the valuation were:

                                                            Funding     SSAP 24

17.  COMPANIES ACT 1985 

These accounts do not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of
section 240 of the Companies Act 1985, as amended, of Great Britain insofar as
such accounts have to comply with the disclosure and other provisions of that
Act. 

18.  DIFFERENCES BETWEEN UNITED KINGDOM AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED
     ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

The company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom ("UK GAAP") which differ in
certain respects from United States generally accepted accounting principles
("US GAAP").  The following significant differences apply to the company.

Pensions

Pension costs, based on actuarial assumptions and methods, are charged in the
financial statements so as to allocate the cost of providing benefits over the
service lives of employees in a consistent manner approved by the actuary.  US
GAAP as set out in Financial Accounting Standards 87 prescribes the method of
actuarial valuation and also requires assets to be assessed at fair value and
the assessment of liabilities to be based on current interest rates.

The calculations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards 87 are as
follows:

The assumptions used in the above calculations differ from those used for UK
GAAP purposes mainly due to the market value bias under US GAAP. The principal
financial assumptions used to calculate the above figures are set out below:



Valuation date                                          17 February  1 April
                                                               1995     1994

Expected long term rate of return on scheme assets             9.5%     9.0%
Discount rate                                                  9.0%     8.5%
Rate of increase in compensation levels                        7.0%     6.5%
Rate of increase of pensions in payment                        5.0%     4.5%


Cash flow statement

The cash flow statement included in these accounts presents  substantially the
same information as that requested under US GAAP by US Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards 95, "Statement of Cash Flows".  These standards differ,
however, with regard to classification of items within the statement and as
regards the definition of cash and cash equivalents.

Under UK GAAP, cash flows are presented separately for operating activities,
returns on investments and servicing of finance, taxation, investing activities
and financing activities.  US GAAP, however, requires only three categories of
cash flow activity to be reported: operating, investing and financing.  Cash
flows from taxation and servicing of finance and returns on investments shown
under UK GAAP would be included as operating activities under US GAAP.

Reconciliation

The following is a summary of adjustments to profit which would be required if
US GAAP had been applied instead of UK GAAP.

                        CHEMFAB CORPORATION AND TYGAFLOR 
           NOTES TO PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)

In February 1995, the Company purchased certain assets and liabilities of the
Tygaflor fluoropolymer products business of the Advanced Materials Division of
Courtaulds Aerospace Ltd. (the Tygaflor business) for approximately $15.1
million (Pounds Stlg 9.7 million) in cash at closing, subject to adjustment
as a result of changes in working capital.  This acquisition was funded with 
approximately $4.2 million of available cash on hand and $10.9 million of 
bank debt.


(1)  The acquisition of Tygaflor has been accounted for using the purchase
     method of accounting.  The pro forma combined statements of income presents
     the combined operations of the Company and Tygaflor for the year ended June
     30, 1994 and the six months ended January 1, 1995 as if the acquisition had
     been completed on July 1, 1993.  For these purposes, Tygaflor's results for
     the year ended March 31, 1994 and the six months ended September 30, 1994
     have been utilized.  The pro forma condensed balance sheet as of January 1,
     1995 has been prepared as if the acquisition had been completed on that
     date.

(2)  The following adjustments were applied to the historical balance sheet or
     historical statements of income in order to arrive at the pro forma
     combined condensed balance sheet and pro forma combined condensed
     statements of income.

     (a)  Reflects the initial purchases accounting, including cash disbursed,
          bank financing obtained, and the allocation of the purchase price to
          the net assets acquired.

          The total purchase price is calculated as follows:

             Total consideration paid by Chemfab  $ 15,181,000
             Estimated transaction costs               865,000
             Severence, net                            411,000
             Working Capital Adjustment               (252,000)
                                                    ----------
                                                  $ 16,205,000
                                                    ==========

          The allocation of the purchase price is a follows:

                       Accounts receivable        $  2,341,000
                       Inventories                   1,875,000
                       Other Current Assets             16,000
                       Plant and equipment           2,500,000
                       Goodwill                      9,444,000
                       Other intangibles             1,174,000
                       Liabilities assumed          (1,145,000)
                                                    ----------
                                                  $ 16,205,000
                                                    ==========

     (b)  Reflects anticipated cost savings of $296,000 and $208,000 through
          redundancies for the year ended June 30, 1994 and for the six months
          ended January 1, 1995, respectively, a reduction of depreciation
          expense due to purchase accounting of $57,000 and $32,000 for the
          periods ending June 1994 and January 1995, respectively.  These
          anticipated cost savings have been offset by adding an estimated gross
          margin of $182,000 and $92,000 for raw materials historically
          purchased at cost from an affiliated business for the year ended June
          30, 1994 and for the six months ended January 1, 1995, respectively.  

     (c)  Reflects the cost savings realized through the redundancies described
          in (b) above offset by the amortization of goodwill of $608,000 and
          $309,000 for the year and six month period respectively.

     (d)  Reflects amortization of the portion of the purchase price allocated
          to patents.

     (e)  Assumes the interest expense on the bank debt at the prevailing bank
          rate for the period and the reduction of interest income resulting
          from the use of cash for the acquisition.
         
     (f)  The provision for taxes is assumed to decrease due to the tax effect
          of the proforma adjustments using an incremental tax rate of 33%
          except for interest income which assumes an incremental rate of 40%.
