                  AMENDMENT No. 1 on Form 8-K/A
                               to
                   Current Report on Form 8-K


                          INTRODUCTION

     This Amendment No.  1 on Form  8-K/A (this "Amendment")  is being filed  by
Collins & Aikman Corporation  (the "Company") to amend  Item 7 of the  Company's
Current Report  on Form  8-K  dated December  10,  1996 (the  "Initial  Report")
relating to, among  other things, the  acquisition on December  11, 1996 of  JPS
Automotive  L.P.  (the   "JPS  Automotive  Acquisition").     Pursuant  to   the
instructions to Item 7 of  Form 8-K, the Company  is filing this Amendment  (not
later than 60 days  after the date that  the Initial Report  was required to  be
filed) in order  to include  the financial  statements and  pro forma  financial
information required  with  respect to  the  JPS Automotive  Acquisition.    The
Perstorp  Acquisition  described  in  the  Initial  Report  did  not  meet   the
significant subsidiary requirements of  Rule 1.02 (w) of  Regulation S-X of  the
Rules and Regulations under  the Securities and Exchange  Act of 1934 (the  "SEC
Rules").  Accordingly, financial statements and pro forma financial data for the
Perstorp Acquisition  are not  required.   Pursuant to  Rule 12b-15  of the  SEC
Rules, the complete text of Item 7, as amended, is set forth herein.


ITEM 7.        FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS


     (a)  Financial Statements of businesses acquired.

                REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Partners of JPS AUTOMOTIVE L.P.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of JPS Automotive
L.P. and subsidiaries (successor to JPS Auto, Inc. and subsidiaries and
Synthetic Industrial Fabrics, a division of JPS Converter and Industrial Corp.)
(collectively, "JPS Automotive") as of December 31, 1995 and January 1, 1995,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, owners'equity, and cash
flows for the year ended December 31, 1995, the period from June 29, 1994 to
January 1, 1995. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility
of JPS Automotive's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statement 
schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of JPS
Automotive as of December 31, 1995 and January 1, 1995, and the consolidated
results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31,
1995, the period from June 29, 1994 to January 1, 1995 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   JPS Automotive L.P. and subsidiaries ("JPS  Automotive") operate in the
industrial fabrics  and  automotive  products  segment,  including  the  design,
manufacture and sale  of carpet components  and interior  fabrics for  passenger
cars and light trucks and other specialty industrial fabrics.  In October  1995,
the Board of  Directors of  Foamex International  Inc. ("Foamex  International")
approved a  plan to  evaluate the  potential reduction  of long-term  debt  with
substantially all  of the  proceeds from  the possible  sale of  the  automotive
carpet, trim  and/or  textile  businesses  of  JPS  Automotive  (which  together
comprise  substantially  all  of  the  assets   of  JPS  Automotive).     Foamex
International is continuing to evaluate the  possible sale of these  businesses;
however, no definitive commitment has been reached.  The consolidated statements
of JPS Automotive  do not  include any adjustments  that might  result from  any
sale (See Note 15).

   JPS Automotive L.P. was formed on May 17, 1994 for the purpose of acquiring a
100% ownership interest  in JPS  Automotive Products  Corp. ("Products  Corp."),
which was purchased  for nominal consideration  on May 25,  1994.   On June  28,
1994,  Foamex-JPS Automotive L.P. ("FJPS")  and JPSGP Inc.("JPSGP"), the  owners
of a 99% limited partnership interest  and a 1% general partnership interest  in
JPS Automotive L.P., respectively,  made capital contributions of  approximately
$90.0 million.   JPS Automotive L.P.,  in turn, made  a capital contribution  of
approximately $90.0  million to  Products Corp.   FJPS  and JPSGP  are  indirect
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Foamex International Inc.

   On June 28, 1994, Products Corp. acquired  the  assets of  the  automotive
products and  industrial fabrics  divisions of  JPS  Textile Group,  Inc.  ("JPS
Textile") (the  "JPS  Automotive  Acquisition").   Effective  October  3,  1994,
Products Corp. transferred and assigned substantially all of its assets, subject
to substantially all  of its  liabilities, to  JPS Automotive,  which agreed  to
assume such liabilities.

   JPS Automotive is the beneficial owner of an 80.0%  interest in  Cramerton
Automotive Products, L.P. ("Cramerton").   JPS Automotive  owns a 79.5%  limited
partnership interest in Cramerton and, through Cramerton Management  Corporation
("CMC"), beneficially owns a 0.5% general partnership interest.

   The consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 1995 and January 1, 1995
and the consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and owners' equity for
the year  ended December  31, 1995  and for  the period  from June  29, 1994  to
January 1, 1995 pertain to JPS Automotive.

2.  JPS AUTOMOTIVE ACQUISITION

   On June 28,  1994, JPS Automotive  acquired the businesses  and assets of the
automotive products  and  industrial fabrics  divisions  of JPS  Textile. The
acquired assets included property, plant and equipment, inventories and  certain
contract rights, as well  as certain stock and  limited and general  partnership
interests in  joint ventures.   As  a part  of the  JPS Automotive  Acquisition,
agreements were reached relating  to the purchase of  assets, the granting of  a
reciprocal easement, a  provision for certain  services, the  supply of  certain
materials and the  sharing of taxes.   The JPS  Automotive Acquisition was  made
pursuant to the terms of an asset purchase  agreement, dated as of May 25,  1994
(the "Asset  Purchase Agreement"),  by and  among JPS  Textile, JPS  Auto,  C&I,
Products Corp., and Foamex International.   The aggregate consideration for  the
JPS Automotive Acquisition was $290.3  million which includes acquisition  costs
of $8.3 million and the assumption of long-term debt of $15.6 million.  The cost
of the acquisition has been allocated on  the estimated basis of the fair  value
of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.  The excess of the  purchase
price over  the  estimated  fair value  of  the  net assets  acquired  is  being
amortized over forty years.  The acquisition was funded by (i) the net  proceeds
from the sale by JPS  Automotive of $180.0 million  principal amount of 11  1/8%
senior notes due 2001 (the "JPS Automotive Senior Notes"), (ii) $90.0 million in
cash received  by  JPS Automotive  from  its partners  in  the form  of  capital
contributions and  (iii)  the  net  proceeds  of  $10.0  million  in  term  loan
borrowings by  JPS  Automotive.   The  excess of  the  purchase price  over  the
estimated fair  value  of  the net  assets  acquired  was  approximately  $168.0
million,  which  includes  1995  payments  of  approximately  $4.5  million   in
settlement of certain matters  contained in the Asset  Purchase Agreement and  a
1995 adjustment  of $5.6  million to  adjust  the original  estimated  appraised
values of property, plant and equipment.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   Consolidation

   The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of JPS Automotive
and all subsidiaries that JPS Automotive directly or indirectly controls, either
through majority  ownership  or otherwise.    Minority interest  represents  the
minority partners'  proportionate  shares  of  the  equity  in  certain  of  JPS
Automotive's consolidated subsidiaries, primarily Cramerton, as of December  31,
1995. Intercompany  accounts  and   transactions  have  been  eliminated   in
consolidation.  Investments in 20% to 50% controlled companies are accounted for
on the equity method.

   Fiscal Year

   JPS Automotive's fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to  the thirty-first
day of December.  The fiscal year was composed of fifty-two weeks.

   Accounting Estimates

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the  reported  amounts of  assets  and liabilities  at  the date  of  the
financial statements and the  reported amounts of  revenues and expenses  during
the reported period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   Cash and Cash Equivalents

   JPS Automotive considers all highly  liquid investments  with  an  original
maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

   Inventories

   Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  The  cost of  the
inventories is determined on a first-in, first-out basis.

   Property, Plant and Equipment

   Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using 
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  The  
range of useful lives estimated for buildings is generally twenty-five to 
forty-five years and the range for machinery, equipment and furnishings is 
three to fifteen years.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the 
shorter of the terms  for the respective leases or the estimated lives of 
the leasehold improvements.  For income tax purposes, JPS Automotive uses 
accelerated depreciation methods.

   Cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred. Renewals
and improvements are capitalized.  Upon retirement or other disposition of items
of plant and equipment, cost of  items and related accumulated depreciation  are
removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations.

   Debt Issuance Costs

   Debt issuance costs consist of amounts  incurred  in  obtaining  long -term
financing.  These costs are  amortized over the term  of the related debt  using
the interest  method.   Accumulated amortization  as of  December 31,  1995  and
January 1, 1995 was approximately $1.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

   Cost in Excess of Net Assets Acquired

   The excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of net assets acquired
in business combinations accounted for as purchases is amortized using the 
straight-line method over a forty year period.  At each balance 

                               F-8

<PAGE>

sheet date, JPS Automotive evaluates the recoverability of cost in excess of 
net assets acquired using certain  financial indicators  such as historical 
and future ability to generate income from operations.  Accumulated 
amortization as of December  31, 1995 and  January 1, 1995  was 
approximately $6.3  million and  $2.1  million, respectively.

   Computer Software Costs

   Costs to purchase software  and  outside  costs  to  put  it  in  place  are
capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of five years.

   Environmental Matters

   Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed
or capitalized  as  appropriate.    Expenditures  that  relate  to  an  existing
condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to
current or future  revenue generation, are expensed.   Liabilities will  be
recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are 
probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated.

   Postretirement and Postemployment Benefits

   JPS Automotive follows SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions".  The standard requires  
companies to accrue postretirement benefits throughout the employees' 
active service periods until they obtain full eligibility for those 
benefits. Effective June 29, 1994, JPS Automotive adopted SFAS  No.  112,
"Employers' Accounting  for  Postemployment Benefits".    Under this  method  of
accounting, JPS Automotive accrues  the benefits when  it becomes probable  that
such benefits  will be  paid  and when  sufficient  information exists  to  make
reasonable estimates of the  amounts to be paid.

   Revenue Recognition

   JPS Automotive recognizes revenue from product sales when it has shipped the
goods or ownership has been transferred to the customer for goods to be held for
future shipment at the customer's request.  JPS Automotive generally allows  its
customers the right  of return  only in  the case  of defective  products.   JPS
Automotive provides a reserve for estimated defective product costs at the  time
of the sale of the products.

Research and Development

   JPS Automotive incurred research and development costs of approximately $4.4
million for the year  ended December 31,  1995 and $2.6  million for the  period
from June  29, 1994  to January  1, 1995.

   Interest Rate Swap Agreement
  
   The differential to be paid or received under an interest rate swap agreement
is recognized in the current period as interest rates change as an adjustment to
interest and debt issuance expense.

   Income Taxes

   JPS Automotive as a limited partnership is not subject to federal income 
taxes and, therefore, no current or deferred income tax provision has been 
provided for such taxes.   However, the limited partnership  has provided 
for the income taxes of certain states for which it is subject and federal 
and state  income taxes associated  with the  operations  of Products Corp.  
The  partners  will include their respective shares of income  or loss 
of  JPS Automotive on  their federal and  applicable state  income 
tax  returns.  JPS Automotive has a tax sharing agreement that  provides for  
payment to  the partners  of amounts  that would be  required  to be  paid  
if JPS  Automotive were a corporation  filing separate income tax returns.

   11 1/8% Senior Notes ("JPS Automotive Senior Notes")

   The JPS Automotive Senior Notes were issued on June 28, 1994. Interest on the
JPS Automotive Senior Notes is payable  semiannually on June 15 and December  15
of each year, commencing on December 15, 1994.  The JPS Automotive Senior  Notes
mature on June 15, 2001.

   JPS Automotive is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund
payments except in the case of  certain asset sales or  a change of control  (as
defined in the indenture for the JPS Automotive Senior Notes).  In addition, the
JPS Automotive Senior Notes  are not subject to  optional redemption, except  in
connection with certain public offerings of common stock.

   The JPS Automotive Senior Notes rank senior in  right of payment  to  all
existing or future subordinated indebtedness of  JPS Automotive and on an  equal
basis in right of payment with all existing or future senior indebtedness of JPS
Automotive, including the borrowings under  the JPS Automotive Credit  Agreement
(as defined below).  The obligations  under the JPS Automotive Credit  Agreement
are  collateralized  by  all   accounts  

                               F-10

<PAGE>

receivable, inventories and certain intangibles of JPS Automotive. Thus,the
claims of the lenders under the  JPS Automotive Credit  Agreement will  
effectively be prior to the claims of the holders of the JPS Automotive Senior  
Notes with  respect to  such assets and proceeds.

   Term and Revolving Loans

   On June 28, 1994, as amended October 5,  1994, JPS Automotive entered into a
revolving credit agreement which  provides for loans of  up to $35.0 million  of
which $10.0 million was available as a  term loan payable in 12 equal  quarterly
installments commencing October  1996 and a  revolving line of  credit of up  to
$25.0  million  which  expires  in  June   1999  (the  "JPS  Automotive   Credit
Agreement").  On June 28, 1994, JPS Automotive entered into a $10.0 million term
loan under the JPS Automotive Credit Agreement; no further term loan  borrowings
are available thereunder.  Borrowings under the JPS Automotive Credit  Agreement
are collateralized by substantially all of JPS Automotive's accounts receivable,
inventories, patents, trademarks, other intellectual property rights and general
intangibles.  Pursuant to the terms of the JPS Automotive Credit 5. Agreement, 
borrowed funds will  bear interest at a  floating rate equal to  1.0% per annum 
plus the highest of (i) the base rate  of The Bank of Nova Scotia, as in effect 
from time to time, (ii) a rate that is, generally, 0.5% per annum plus
a fluctuating rate generally  equal to the rate  on three-month certificates  of
deposit, subject to certain adjustments, plus a fluctuating rate generally equal
to the annual assessment  rate paid by The  Bank of Nova  Scotia to the  Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation  or (iii) 0.5%  per annum plus  the federal  funds
rate in effect from time to time.  At the option of JPS Automotive, portions  of
outstanding loans under the JPS Automotive Credit Agreement will be  convertible
into Eurodollar rate loans  bearing interest at a  rate generally equal to  3.0%
per annum above the average LIBOR  rate of Citibank, N.A.  and The Bank of  Nova
Scotia.  At  December 31,  1995, the  interest rates  in effect  related to  the
revolving  credit  borrowings  and  the  term   loan  were  9.5%  and   8.3125%,
respectively.   As  of December  31,  1995,  $4.4 million  of  revolving  credit
borrowings were  outstanding  under the  JPS  Automotive Credit  Agreement  with
unused availability of approximately $20.6 million.

   Cramerton has a $15.0 million revolving line of credit (the "Cramerton Credit
Facility"), with recourse only  to Cramerton, and which  expires in April  1997.
Interest on the Cramerton Credit Facility is based on fixed or floating interest
rate options selected by Cramerton.   As of December 31, 1995, borrowings  under
the Cramerton Credit Facility were $9.9 million with a weighted average interest
rate of approximately  8 1/4%  with unused availability  of $5.1  million.   The
maximum amount available  at any  time under  the Cramerton  Credit Facility  is
based upon a specific  percentage of eligible  accounts receivable and  eligible
inventories and  is  reduced  by  any outstanding  letters  of  credit  and  any
outstanding revolving loans.

   Interest Rate Swap Agreement

   JPS Automotive enters into interest rate swaps to lower funding costs and/or
to manage  interest  costs  and  exposure  to  changing  interest  rates.    JPS
Automotive does not hold  or issue financial  instruments for trading  purposes.
In June 1994, as amended  in May 1995, JPS  Automotive entered into an  interest
rate swap agreement  for a  notional amount of  $150.0 million  for five  years.
Under this swap agreement, JPS Automotive has paid fixed payments at 6.04% on  a
notional amount of $90.0 million and 7.0% on a notional amount of $60.0  million
for the  six months  ended June  1995 and  is obligated  to make  variable  rate
payments based on LIBOR, capped at 8.5% per annum, on a $150.0 million  notional
amount for the remainder of  the agreement in exchange  for fixed payments at  a
rate of 6.89%  per annum by  the swap partner  payable semiannually in  arrears.
The swap partner  has the ability  to terminate the  swap agreement in  December
1998.   Interest  expense  will  be  subject to  fluctuations  in  LIBOR.    JPS
Automotive is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the  swap
partner; however, the occurrence of this event is not anticipated.  During 1995,
the effect of the interest rate swap described above was a favorable  adjustment
to interest expense  of $1.0  million.  For  the period  from June  29, 1994  to
January 1, 1995, the effect of the  interest rate swap was to increase  interest
expense by $0.2 million.

6.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
   
   Defined Benefit Pension Plan

   Effective January 1, 1995, JPS Automotive adopted the Retirement Pension Plan
for Employees  of JPS  Automotive L.P.  (the "Plan")  for salaried  and  certain
hourly  employees.    Benefits  are  based  on  the  employees'  final   average
compensation, years of benefit  service, the covered  compensation in effect  at
retirement and the employees' ages when payment begins.

                                  
   Net periodic pension cost included the following:
                                                           1995
                                                       (thousands)

   Service cost                                             $675
   Interest cost                                              48
   Actual return on plan assets                               (2)
   Net amortization and deferral                              35

     Total                                                  $756

   JPS Automotive's funding policy is to contribute annually an amount that both
satisfies the minimum  funding requirements  of the  Employee Retirement  Income
Security Act of 1974  and does not  exceed the full  funding limitations of  the
Internal Revenue  Code of  1986,  as amended  (the  "Code").   Plan  investments
consist primarily of cash equivalents.

                               F-12

   The following table sets forth the funded status of the Plan and the amounts
recognized in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 1995:

   Significant assumptions used in determining the plan's unfunded status are as
follows:

                                                             December 31, 1995

   Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets                  8.00%

   Discount rate on projected benefit obligations                    7.75%

   Rates of increase in compensation levels (where applicable)       5.00%
 
   Defined Contribution Plan

   JPS Automotive maintains a defined contribution plan qualified under Section
401(k) of the  Internal Revenue Code  that covers  eligible nonunion  employees.
Employee contributions are voluntary and subject to certain limitations as 
imposed  by the Internal  Revenue Code.   JPS Automotive makes  a matching 
contribution  of 25%  of each  employee's contribution  with a  maximum
matching contribution  of 1  1/2% of  each employee's  base compensation.  JPS
Automotive also provides an additional 25% match of each employee's contribution
to a fund  which invests  in Foamex International  common stock  with a  maximum
contribution of  3% of  each employee's  base  compensation.   JPS  Automotive's
contributions were approximately $0.3  million for the  year ended December  31,
1995 and $0.1 million for the period from June 29, 1994 to January 1, 1995.

   Postretirement Benefits

   JPS Automotive provides postretirement health care and  life insurance for
eligible employees of JPS  Automotive and retirees  of the Predecessor  Company.
These plans  are unfunded  and JPS  Automotive retains  the right  to modify  or
eliminate these benefits.

   The components of the expense for postretirement benefits are:

                                        Year Ended          June 29, 1994
                                     December 31, 1995   to January 1, 1995
                                                (thousands)
 Service cost for
    benefits earned                     $   (8)                $   (4)
 Interest cost on liability                104                     54

     Net periodic postretirement
       benefit cost                     $   96                 $   50

   The accumulated postretirement benefit at December 31, 1995 and January 1,
1995 resulted in unfunded obligations of $1.3 million for each period.

   Since JPS Automotive has capped its annual liability per person and all 
future cost increases will be passed on to retirees, the annual rate of 
increase in health care costs does not affect the postretirement benefit 
obligation.  The weighted-average discount rate used in determining the 
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 1995 and 
January 1, 1995 was 8%.

Postemployment Benefits

   JPS Automotive provides certain postemployment benefits to former or inactive
employees and their dependents during the  time period following employment  but
before retirement.   On  June 29,  1994,  JPS Automotive  adopted SFAS  No.  112
"Employers' Accounting for Postemployment  Benefits."  Prior  to June 29,  1994,
postemployment benefit expenses  were recognized  primarily as  they were  paid.
JPS Automotive's adoption of SFAS No. 112  did not have a significant impact  on
the consolidated statements of operations.  As of December 31, 1995 and  January
1, 1995, JPS Automotive's liability for postemployment benefits was $0.4 million
for each period and is included in other noncurrent liabilities and includes the
liability assumed in the JPS Automotive Acquisition.

   Other

   In December 1994, JPS Automotive changed its method of compensating certain
employees for vacation, which increased income  from operations by $1.3  million
for the period June 29, 1994 to January 1, 1995.

7. INCOME TAXES

   As of December 31, 1995, the  assets and  liabilities  that relate  to  JPS
Automotive, which  are  not  subject  to tax,  have  a  difference  between  the
financial reporting and income tax basis of approximately $37.3 million.


                               F-14

 The provision (benefit) for income taxes includes the following:

income tax is as follows:

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

   Operating Leases

   JPS Automotive is obligated under various noncancellable lease agreements for
rental of facilities,  machinery and  computer equipment.   Many  of the  leases
contain renewal options with varying terms  and escalation clauses that  provide
for increased rentals  based upon increases  in the Consumer  Price Index,  real
estate taxes and lessors' operating expenses.  Total minimum rental  commitments
required under operating leases at December 31, 1995 are:

                               (thousands)

   1996                           $1,150
   1997                              721
   1998                              194
   1999                               45

                                  $2,132


   Rental expense charged to operations under operating leases by JPS Automotive
approximated $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1995 and $0.9  million
for the period from  June 29, 1994 to  January 1, 1995.  Substantially all  such
rental expense represented the minimum rental payments under operating leases.

   Guarantees

   JPS Automotive has pledged all of the outstanding common stock of Products
Corp. and  FJPS  has  pledged  its  99%  limited  partnership  interest  in  JPS
Automotive to collateralize the  repayment by FJPS of  a note payable to  Foamex
L.P.

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS

   JPS Automotive

   JPS Automotive regularly enters into transactions with its affiliates in the
ordinary course of business.

   In connection with the JPS Automotive Acquisition, JPS Automotive entered 
into a supply agreement (the "Supply  Agreement") and a services agreement (the
"Services Agreement") with Foamex International, the limited partner of FJPS and
the sole shareholder of JPSGP.  Pursuant  to the terms of the Supply  Agreement,
at the option of JPS Automotive, Foamex International will purchase certain  raw
materials which are necessary for the manufacture of JPS Automotive's  products,
and resell such materials to JPS  Automotive at a price  equal to net cost  plus
reasonable out of pocket expenses.  During the year ended December 31, 1995  and
the period June  29, 1994  to January 1,  1995, JPS  Automotive purchased  $92.9
million and  $5.2  million, respectively,  of  raw materials  under  the  Supply
Agreement with Foamex  International.   Pursuant to  the terms  of the  Services
Agreement,  Foamex  International  will  supply  JPS  Automotive  with   certain
managerial services on an as needed basis.  JPS Automotive will pay Foamex 
International's and its affiliates' costs plus allocated overhead for the
services provided pursuant  to the Services  Agreement.  During  the year  ended
December 31, 1995  and the period  from June 29,  1994 to January  1, 1995,  JPS
Automotive did  not  incur  significant  costs  under  the  Services  Agreement.
Management believes  that  the  terms  of  the  Services  Agreement  and  Supply
Agreement are no less  favorable to JPS Automotive  than those which could  have
obtained from an unaffiliated third party.

   JPS Automotive has a tax sharing agreement with its partners pursuant to 
which JPS Automotive will make quarterly distributions to its partners, which 
in the aggregate, will equal the tax liability that JPS Automotive would have
paid if it had been a Delaware corporation filing a separate tax return 
rather than a partnership.  During the year ended December 31, 1995 and 
the period from June 29, 1994 to January 1, 1995, JPS Automotive made no 
tax sharing distributions to its partners.

   Cramerton has an agreement whereby Seiren U.S.A.  Corporation 
("Seiren  U.S.A."), minority shareholder of Cramerton, is paid marketing
assistance fees annually. These  fees are  equal to  1%  of the  
first $30.0  million  of Cramerton's sales  of  bodycloth  material  to  
Japanese  automakers  with  U.S. assembly operations and  1 1/2% of  
such sales exceeding  $30.0 million.   These fees amounted to $0.5 million 
for the year ended December 31, 1995 and $0.2 million for the period from 
June  29, 1994 to  January 1,  1995.

   Cramerton previously incurred costs with Seiren Co., Ltd., parent 
company of Seiren U.S.A., and Seiren  U.S.A.  for the annual consulting
fees, technical personnel, fabric, and processing.  As of January 1, 1995,
Cramerton owed Sieren Co., Ltd. and Sieren U.S.A. approximately $0.3 million.

10.  ENVIRONMENTAL

   JPS Automotive is subject to various federal, state and local environmental
laws and regulations governing, among other things, the discharge, storage,
handling and disposal of a variety of hazardous and non-hazardous substances and
wastes.  JPS Automotive believes it is in substantial compliance with all
existing laws and  regulations and  has obtained  or applied  for the  necessary
permits to conduct its business.  To date, compliance with applicable
environmental laws has not had and, in conjunction with the indemnifications
from JPS Textile relating  to the Asset Purchase  Agreement, is not expected  to
have a material adverse effect on JPS Automotive's financial position.  Pursuant
to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, JPS Textile has agreed to 
indemnify 

                               F-16

<PAGE>


JPS Automotive against  certain environmental liabilities as  follows:
(i) one-half of the  first $1.0 million of  cost in excess  of $2.0 million  and
(ii) all cost in excess of $3.0 million.

   Although not named as a potential responsible party for any environmental
contaminated sites, JPS Automotive has  accrued environmental costs at  December
31, 1995  of  $2.5  million,  $0.5  million of  which  is  included  in  current
liabilities.   In  addition, as  of  December 31,  1995,  JPS Automotive  has  a
receivable of $0.5 million for indemnification of environmental liabilities from
JPS Textile, former  owner of JPS  Automotive, which is  included in  noncurrent
assets.  JPS Automotive believes that realization of the receivable  established
for indemnification is probable.

   Although it is possible that new information or future events could require
JPS Automotive  to  reassess its  potential  exposure relating  to  all  pending
environmental matters,  management  believes  that,  based  upon  all  currently
available information, the  resolution of  such environmental  matters will  not
have a material adverse effect on JPS Automotive's earnings, financial position,
capital expenditures or competitive position.  The possibility exists,  however,
that new  environmental  legislation  and/or environmental  regulations  may  be
adopted, or  other environmental  conditions may  be found  to exist,  that  may
require expenditures not currently anticipated which may be material.

11.  LITIGATION

   From time  to  time, JPS Automotive has been involved in various legal
proceedings.  Management believes that all such litigation is routine in  nature
and incidental to the conduct of its business, and that none of such litigation,
if determined adversely to JPS Automotive, would have a material adverse  effect
on the financial condition or results of operations of JPS Automotive.

12.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

   Interest Rate Swap Agreement

   JPS Automotive has an interest rate swap agreement involving the exchange of
fixed and  floating interest  payment obligations  without the  exchange of  the
underlying principal  amounts.    At  December  31,  1995,  the  total  notional
principal amount of the  interest rate swap agreement  was $150.0 million.   The
counterparty to the  agreement is a  large international financial  institution.
The interest rate swap agreement subjects JPS Automotive to financial risk  that
will vary during the life of the agreement in relation to market interest rates.

    Concentration of Credit Risk

    Financial instruments which potentially subject JPS Automotive to 
significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and 
cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable.  JPS Automotive  
maintains cash and cash equivalents with various large financial
institutions.  JPS Automotive's periodic evaluation of these financial 
institutions are considered in JPS Automotive's investment strategy.

    JPS Automotive's customers operate primarily in the automotive industry.  
JPS Automotive performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and 
generally does not require collateral.   JPS Automotive  maintains allowance
accounts  for potential losses and  such losses  have been  within 
management's  expectations.  The percentage  of  consolidated  and combined  
sales  to  the  three  principal customers were as follows:

                                                              Period from
                                           Year Ended       June 29, 1994 to
                                        December 31, 1995    January 1, 1995

General Motors                                   23%                 21%
Chrysler                                         15                  15
Toyota Tsusho                                    11                  11
                                  
                                  
                               F-17

<PAGE>


   Trade receivables are the principal financial instrument which subjects JPS
Automotive to concentrations of  credit risk. Accounts  receivable due from  the
three principal customers as  a percentage of total  accounts receivable are  as
follows:
                                        December 31,          January 1,
                                            1995                 1995

General Motors                              12.2%               15.0%
Chrysler                                    23.5                22.0
Toyota Tsusho                                8.2                 8.0

   Although JPS Automotive's exposure to credit risk associated with nonpayment
by these  automotive  manufacturers is  affected  by conditions  or  occurrences
within the automotive  industry, trade  receivables from  these three  customers
were current at December 31, 1995.

Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

   The following disclosures of the estimated fair value amounts have been
determined based on JPS Automotive's assessment of available market  information
and appropriate valuation methodologies.
   
   The estimated fair values of JPS Automotive's financial instruments are as
follows:

                                         Carrying amount     Fair value
                                          of liabilities    of liabilities

                                                     (thousands)
 Assets:
     Interest rate swaps                  $     -             $   3,200

 Liabilities:
     Long-term debt                          205,927            205,927

   Carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and 
cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities
approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

   The fair value of long-term debt is estimated using quoted market prices,
where available, or discounted cash flows.

   The fair value of interest rate swaps are based on the amount at which JPS
Automotive could  receive if  the swaps  were settled,  determined on  estimates
obtained from dealers.

   Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant
market information  about  the  financial  instruments.    These  estimates  are
subjective in  nature  and  involve uncertainties  and  matters  of  significant
judgement and  therefore,  cannot be  determined  with precision.    Changes  in
assumption could significantly affect the estimates.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)


1. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 29, 1996, the 
condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended 
September 29, 1996 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for 
the nine months ended September 29, 1996 have been prepared by JPS Automotive 
L.P. and subsidiaries ("JPS Automotive") and have not been audited by JPS 
Automotive's independent accountants. In the opinion of the management of 
JPS Automotive, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation 
of the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows 
for those periods have been included.

   On August 28, 1996, Foamex International Inc. ("Foamex International")
entered into an agreement to sell its partnership interests in JPS Automotive to
a subsidiary of Collins & Aikman Corporation for $220.0 million, subject to
final adjustments, which includes the assumption of JPS Automotive's long-term
debt. Foamex International expects the sale of JPS Automotive to be consummated
prior to December 29, 1996. The condensed consolidated financial statements of
JPS Automotive do not include any adjustments that would result from the sale.

   Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission. These condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with JPS Automotive's 1995 consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto as set forth in JPS Automotive's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.

2. INVENTORIES

The components of inventories consist of:

                                 September 29,

                                    -------

   Total                            $23,302
                                    =======

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

   JPS Automotive has a supply agreement (the "Supply Agreement") with Foamex
International. Pursuant to the terms of the Supply Agreement, at the option of
JPS Automotive, Foamex International will purchase certain raw materials which
are necessary for the manufacture of JPS Automotive's products, and resell such
raw materials to JPS Automotive at a price equal to net cost plus reasonable out
of pocket expenses. Management believes that the terms of the Supply Agreement
are no less favorable to JPS Automotive than those that could be obtained from
an unaffiliated third party. During the nine months ended September 29, 1996, 
JPS Automotive purchased approximately $64.9 million of raw materials under 
the Supply Agreement.

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (continued)

  As of September 29, 1996, JPS Automotive had accounts payable to 
Foamex International of approximately $2.4 million associated with 
the Supply Agreement.

4. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

   JPS Automotive is subject to various federal, state and local environmental
laws and regulations governing, among other things, the discharge, storage,
handling and disposal of a variety of hazardous and non-hazardous substances and
wastes. JPS Automotive believes it is in substantial compliance with all
existing laws and regulations and has obtained or applied for the necessary
permits to conduct its business. To date, compliance with applicable
environmental laws has not had and, in conjunction with the indemnifications
from JPS Textile Group, Inc. ("JPS Textile") relating to the asset purchase
agreement associated with the acquisition of JPS Automotive, is not expected to
have a material adverse effect on JPS Automotive's financial position. Pursuant
to the terms of the asset purchase agreement, JPS Textile has agreed to
indemnify JPS Automotive against certain environmental liabilities as follows:
(i) one-half of the first $1.0 million of cost in excess of $2.0 million and
(ii) all cost in excess of $3.0 million.

   JPS Automotive has accrued environmental costs at September 29, 1996 of
approximately $2.2 million, $0.2 million of which is included in current
liabilities. In addition, as of September 29, 1996, JPS Automotive has a
receivable of $0.5 million for indemnification of environmental liabilities from
JPS Textile, the former owner of JPS Automotive, which is included in noncurrent
assets. JPS Automotive believes that realization of the receivable established
for indemnification is probable.

   Although it is possible that new information or future events could require
JPS Automotive to reassess its potential exposure relating to all pending
environmental matters, management believes that, based upon all currently
available information, the resolution of such environmental matters will not
have a material adverse effect on JPS Automotive's results of operations,
financial position, capital expenditures or competitive position. The
possibility exists, however, that new environmental legislation and/or
environmental regulations may be adopted, or other environmental conditions may
be found to exist, that may require expenditures not currently anticipated which
may be material.
