        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)


1. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   Foamex L.P.'s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1995
has been condensed from the audited consolidated balance sheet at that date and
restated for discontinued operations (see Note 2 below). The condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of September 29, 1996, the condensed consolidated
statements of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended
September 29, 1996 and October 1, 1995, and the condensed consolidated cash
flows for the thirty-nine week periods ended September 29, 1996 and October 1,
1995 have been prepared by Foamex L.P. and subsidiaries and have not been
audited by Foamex L.P.'s independent accountants. Also, the condensed
consolidated statements of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine week
periods ended October 1, 1995 and the condensed consolidated statement of cash
flows for the thirty-nine week period ended October 1, 1995 have been restated
for discontinued operations (see Note 2 below). In the opinion of management,
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered
necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position,
results of operations and cash flows have been included. In addition, the
condensed consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect the
contribution of Foamex Latin America, Inc. ("Latin America") by Foamex
International Inc. ("Foamex International") as further discussed in Note 4.

   On August 1, 1996, Foamex L.P. consummated the sale of the home comfort
products business of Perfect Fit Industries, Inc. ("Perfect Fit") (which
comprised the home comfort products segment of Foamex L.P. and substantially all
of the assets of Perfect Fit). Accordingly, the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements reflects the home comfort products business
segment as discontinued operations. See Note 2 below for further discussion.

   Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the 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 Foamex L.P.'s 1995 consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto as set forth in Foamex L.P.'s Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.

2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

   On August 1, 1996, Foamex L.P. completed the sale of the outstanding common
stock of Perfect Fit, a wholly-owned subsidiary, for an adjusted sale price of
approximately $45.4 million, subject to post-closing adjustments. In addition,
Perfect Fit made approximately $2.0 million of payments against its intercompany
loan with Foamex L.P. The sale included substantially all of the net assets of
the home comfort products segment with a net book value of approximately $81.9
million. Actual and estimated transaction expenses related to the sale totaled
approximately $2.0 million. Foamex L.P. has recorded a loss on disposal of
discontinued operations of approximately $41.3 million including an operating
loss of approximately $0.7 million during the phase-out period (net of income
tax benefits of $0.4 million) relating to the sale of Perfect Fit during the
thirty-nine week period ended September 29, 1996. A valuation allowance has been
provided for the capital loss relating to the sale of Perfect Fit since Foamex
L.P. expects that its future capital gain taxable income will more likely not be
sufficient to fully recognize the deferred tax asset relating to the capital
loss carryforward.

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

   In April 1996, Foamex International contributed the foam products operations
of Latin America to Foamex L.P. The contribution was accounted for in a manner
similar to a pooling of interest since the entities are under common control.
Accordingly, all periods presented have been restated to reflect the results of
operations and financial position of Latin America. Net sales and net income
(loss) of the separate companies for the periods preceding the contribution
were:

</TABLE>

   Foamex L.P. has an $87.9 million principal amount note due 2006 from its 98%
limited partner, Foamex-JPS Automotive L.P. ("FJPS"), for $35.3 million (the
"FJPS Note"). The original issue discount of $52.6 million is being amortized
using the weighted average to maturity method over the life of the issue. No
cash interest is payable on the FJPS Note prior to July 2000; rather the FJPS
Note accretes on a daily basis and compounds semiannually at the rate of 15.50%
per annum through June 1996; 15.75% per annum thereafter through June 1997; and
16.00% per annum thereafter through June 2000. Interest will be due semiannually
in cash at 16.00% per annum from July 2000 through the maturity date. The FJPS
Note and related transactions have been classified in partners' equity (deficit)
since the companies are related. Also, the accretion of $5.4 million and $4.7
million for the thirty-nine week periods ended September 29, 1996 and October 1,
1995 have been reflected as a direct increase in the FJPS Note and the partners'
capital accounts, thereby excluded from the condensed consolidated statements of
operations.

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (continued)

   Foamex L.P. has a supply agreement (the "Supply Agreement") with Foamex
International. Pursuant to the terms of the Supply Agreement, at the option of
Foamex L.P., Foamex International will purchase certain raw materials, which are
necessary for the manufacture of Foamex L.P.'s products, and resell such
materials to Foamex L.P. 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 than those which Foamex L.P. could have obtained from an
unaffiliated third party. During the thirteen week periods ended September 29,
1996 and October 1, 1995, Foamex L.P. purchased approximately $30.2 million and
$20.2 million, respectively, of raw materials under the Supply Agreement. During
the thirty-nine week periods ended September 29, 1996 and October 1, 1995,
Foamex L.P. purchased approximately $84.3 million and $69.3 million,
respectively, of raw materials under the Supply Agreement. As of September 29,
1996 and December 31, 1995, Foamex L.P. had accounts payable to Foamex
International of approximately $9.6 million and $11.7 million, respectively,
associated with the Supply Agreement.

   In December 1995, Foamex L.P. entered into a $2.0 million promissory note
with Foamex International. The note bears interest at a rate per annum equal to
six months LIBOR plus 4.0% and is payable semiannually in June and December. The
note matures in December 1997. The note has been classified in the other
component of partners' equity (deficit).

   On July 7, 1996, Trace International Holdings, Inc. ("Trace Holdings") issued
to Foamex L.P. a promissory note for $4.4 million in principal amount plus
accrued interest of $0.4 million, which is an extension of a promissory note of
Trace Holdings that was due in July 1996. The promissory note is due and payable
on demand or, if no demand is made, on July 7, 1997, and bears interest at 9.5%
payable quarterly in arrears commencing October 1, 1996. The promissory note is
included in the other component of partners' equity (deficit).

5. LONG-TERM DEBT

   Foamex L.P. used approximately $12.0 million of the net proceeds from the
sale of Perfect Fit to repay bank term loan borrowings on August 1, 1996. In
addition, on September 23, 1996, Foamex L.P. offered to redeem approximately
$29.8 million of its public debt at 101% of the principal amount using available
proceeds from the Perfect Fit sale. As of October 31, 1996, the date the offer
expired, approximately $11.0 million of Foamex L.P. public debt was tendered for
redemption and has been classified as current in the condensed consolidated
balance sheet as of September 29, 1996. On November 8, 1996, Foamex L.P. issued
a supplemental offer to redeem up to an additional $18.8 million of its public
debt at 101% of the principal amount.

6. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS 

   Foamex L.P. has reported to appropriate state authorities that it has found
soil and groundwater contamination in excess of state standards at three
facilities and soil contamination in excess of state standards at four other
facilities. Foamex L.P. has begun remediation and is conducting further
investigations into the extent of the contamination at these facilities and,
accordingly, the extent of the remediation that may ultimately be required. As
of September 29, 1996, Foamex L.P. has environmental accruals of $1.2 million
for the remaining potential remediation costs for these facilities based on
engineering estimates.

   Federal regulations require that by 1998 all underground storage tanks
("USTs") be removed or upgraded in most states to meet applicable standards.
Foamex L.P., like many other companies engaged in manufacturing, has USTs that
will require removal. Due to the age of many of Foamex L.P.'s approximately
twelve storage tanks, leakage has occurred from a few of these USTs resulting in
soil and possibly groundwater contamination. Foamex L.P. has accrued costs of
$0.5 million based on engineering estimates that the cost of removing the tanks
and remediation costs associated therewith ranges from approximately $0.4
million to $1.1 million. However, the full extent of contamination and,
accordingly, the actual cost of such remediation cannot be predicted with any
degree of certainty at this time. Foamex L.P. believes that its USTs do not pose

        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

6. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS (continued)

a significant risk of environmental liability because of Foamex L.P.'s
monitoring practices for USTs and conditional approval for permanent in-place
closure for certain USTs. However, there can be no assurance that such USTs will
not result in significant environmental liability in the future. Foamex L.P. has
been designated as a Potentially Responsible Party ("PRP") by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") with respect to eleven sites, with
an estimated total liability to Foamex L.P. for the eleven sites of less than
approximately $0.2 million. Estimates of total cleanup costs and fractional
allocations of liability are generally provided by the EPA or the committee of
PRP's with respect to the specified site. In each case, the participation of
Foamex L.P. is considered to be immaterial.

   As of September 29, 1996, the recorded environmental liability amounts to
$5.1 million, $1.2 million of which is included in current liabilities. In
addition, Foamex L.P. has a receivable of $0.6 million, net of an allowance of
approximately $1.0 million relating to potential disagreements regarding the
scope of indemnification for environmental liabilities from former partners of
Foamex L.P., which is included in current assets. Foamex L.P. believes that
realization of the receivables established for indemnification is probable.

   Although it is possible that new information or future developments could
require Foamex L.P. 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 Foamex L.P.'s 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 and that may be material.

7. LITIGATION

   As of November 11, 1996, Foamex L.P. and Trace Holdings were two of multiple
defendants in actions filed on behalf of approximately 4,800 persons in various
United States federal and state courts and one Canadian provincial court by
recipients of breast implants, some of which allege substantial damages, but
most of which allege unspecified damages for personal injuries of various types.
Five of these cases seek to allege claims on behalf of all breast implant
recipients or other allegedly affected parties, but no class has been approved
or certified by the court. In addition, three cases have been filed alleging
claims on behalf of approximately 2,600 residents of Australia, New Zealand,
England, and Ireland. During 1995, Foamex L.P. and Trace Holdings were granted
summary judgments and dismissed as defendants from all cases in the federal
courts of the United States and the state courts of California. Appeals for
these decisions were withdrawn and the decisions are final. In addition, two of
the cases filed on behalf of approximately 900 foreign plaintiffs were dismissed
on the grounds that the cases could not be brought in the United States courts.
This decision is subject to appeal. Foamex L.P. believes that the number of
suits and claimants may increase. Although breast implants do not contain foam,
certain silicone gel implants were produced using a polyurethane foam covering
fabricated by independent distributors or fabricators from bulk foam purchased
from Foamex L.P. or Trace Holdings. Neither Foamex L.P. nor Trace Holdings
recommended, authorized or approved the use of its foam for these purposes.
While it is not feasible to predict or determine the outcome of these actions,
based on management's present assessment of the merits of pending claims, after
consultation with the general counsel of Trace Holdings, management believes
that the disposition of matters that are pending or that may reasonably be
anticipated to be asserted should not have a material adverse effect on either
Foamex L.P.'s or Trace Holdings' consolidated financial position or results of
operations. In addition, Foamex L.P. is also indemnified by Trace Holdings for
any such liabilities relating to foam manufactured prior to the capitalization

7. LITIGATION (continued)

of Foamex L.P. in October 1990. Although Trace Holdings has paid Foamex L.P.'s
litigation expenses, pursuant to such indemnification, and management believes
Trace Holdings will be in a position to continue to pay such expenses, there can
be no assurance that Trace Holdings will be able to continue to provide such
indemnification. Based on information available at this time with respect to the
potential liability, Foamex L.P. believes that the proceedings should not
ultimately result in any liability that would have a material adverse effect on
the financial position or results of operations of Foamex L.P. If management's
assessment of Foamex L.P.'s liability with respect to these actions is
incorrect, such actions could have a material adverse effect on Foamex L.P.

   Foamex L.P. is one of multiple defendants in actions alleging bodily injury
and diminution in property value as a result of alleged violations of Tennessee
hazardous waste regulations at Foamex L.P.'s Morristown, Tennessee facilities.
Recticel Foam Corporation ("RFC") has indemnified Foamex L.P. with respect to
losses arising from certain events, such as this alleged violation, that had
occurred prior to October 2, 1990. Based on information available at this time
with respect to the potential liability, after consultation with the general
counsel of Trace Holdings, Foamex L.P. believes that the proceedings should not
ultimately result in any liability that would have a material adverse effect on
the financial position or results of operations of Foamex L.P. If management's
assessment of Foamex L.P.'s liability with respect to these actions is
incorrect, such actions could have a material adverse effect on Foamex L.P.

   Foamex L.P. is party to various other lawsuits, both as defendant and
plaintiff, arising in the normal course of business. It is the opinion of
management that the disposition of these lawsuits will not individually or in
the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the financial position or
results of operations of Foamex L.P. If management's assessment of Foamex L.P.'s
liability with respect to these actions is incorrect, such actions could have a
material adverse effect on Foamex L.P.'s consolidated financial position.

1.   ORGANIZATION

     Foamex Capital Corporation ("FCC'), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Foamex
L.P., was formed for the sole purpose of obtaining financing from external
sources.

2.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     FCC is a joint obligor on the following borrowings of Foamex L.P.:

     9 1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2000 ("Senior Secured Notes")

     The $116.7 million principal amount Senior Secured Notes were issued on
June 3, 1993 and bear interest at the rate of 9 1/2% payable semiannually on
each June 1 and December 1. The Senior Secured Notes mature on June 1, 2000. In
December 1993, in conjunction with Foamex International Inc's. ("Foamex
International") initial public offering, Foamex L.P. defeased $43.3 million of
Senior Secured Notes. The Senior Secured Notes are collateralized by a
first-priority lien on substantially all of the assets of Foamex L.P. except for
receivables, real estate and fixtures. The Senior Secured Notes may be redeemed
at the option of Foamex L.P., in whole or in part, at any time on or after June
1, 1998, initially at 101.583% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest,
and declining to 100% on or after June 1, 1999. The Senior Secured Notes have
been guaranteed, on a senior secured basis, by General Felt Industries, Inc.
("General Felt") and, on a senior unsecured basis, by Foamex International.

     11 1/4% Senior Notes due 2002 ("Senior Notes")

     The $150.0 million principal amount Senior Notes bear interest at the rate
of 11 1/4% payable semiannually on each April 1 and October 1. The Senior Notes
mature on October 1, 2002. The Senior Notes may be redeemed at the option of
Foamex L.P., in whole or in part, at any time on or after October 1, 1997,
initially at 104.219% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest, and
declining to 100% on or after October 1, 2000. The Senior Notes have been
guaranteed, on a senior basis, by General Felt and Foamex International.

     11 7/8% Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2004 ("Subordinated Debentures")

     The $126.0 million principal amount Subordinated Debentures bear interest
at the rate of 11 7/8% payable semiannually on each April 1 and October 1. The
Subordinated Debentures mature on October 1, 2004. The Subordinated Debentures
may be redeemed at the option of Foamex L.P., in whole or in part, at any time
on or after October 1, 1997, initially at 105.938% of their principal amount,
plus accrued interest, and declining to 100% on or after October 1, 2002. The
Subordinated Debentures are subordinated in right of payment to all senior
indebtedness, including the Senior Secured Notes and the Senior Notes. The
Subordinated Debentures have been guaranteed, on a senior subordinated basis, by
General Felt and Foamex International.

     11 7/8% Senior Subordinated Debentures, Series B ("Series B Debentures")

     The $7.0 million principal amount Series B Debentures were issued July 30,
1993 by Foamex L.P. in an exchange offer to holders of senior subordinated
debentures issued in connection with the acquisition of General Felt on March
23, 1993. The Series B Debentures have terms substantially similar to the
Subordinated Debentures, except that holders of the Series B Debentures are
entitled to receive proceeds from an asset sale only if any proceeds remain
after an offer to repurchase has been made to the holders of the Subordinated
Debentures. The Series B Debentures have been guaranteed on a senior
subordinated basis by General Felt.

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

     Foamex L.P. operates in the polyurethane foam products business segment
with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, General Felt Industries, Inc., Foamex
Fibers, Inc., Foamex Canada Inc., and Foamex Latin America, Inc. The following
discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated
financial statements and related notes thereto of Foamex L.P. included in this
report.

     On August 1, 1996, Foamex L.P. consummated the sale of the home comfort
products business of Perfect Fit Industries, Inc. ("Perfect Fit") (which
comprised the home comfort products segment of Foamex L.P. and substantially all
of the assets of Perfect Fit). Accordingly, the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements reflects the home comfort products business
segment as discontinued operations. See Note 2 below for further discussion.

     Foamex L.P.'s automotive foam customers are predominantly automotive
original equipment manufacturers or other automotive suppliers. As such, the
sales of these product lines are directly related to the overall level of
passenger car and light truck production in North America. Also, Foamex L.P.'s
sales are sensitive to sales of new and existing homes, changes in personal
disposable income and seasonality. Foamex L.P. typically experiences two
seasonally slow periods during each year, in early July and in late December,
due to scheduled plant shutdowns and holidays.

13 Week Period Ended September 29, 1996 Compared to 13 Week Period Ended 
October 1, 1995

Results of Operations

     Net sales for 1996 were $236.8 million as compared to $217.0 million in
1995, an increase of $19.8 million or 9.1%. Carpet cushion net sales for 1996
increased 13.4% to $77.0 million from $67.9 million in 1995 primarily due to
increased selling prices late in the second quarter of 1996, as well as
increased shipments of certain carpet cushion products. Cushioning foam net
sales for 1996 increased 4.5% to $86.0 million from $82.3 million in 1995
primarily due to an increase in net sales volume from both new and existing
customers of bedding related products, as well as increased selling prices
initiated at the beginning of 1996. Automotive foam net sales for 1996 increased
8.5% to $55.9 million from $51.5 million in 1995 primarily due to a continued
increase in net sales of tri-laminates and composite headliners and increased
selling prices initiated at the beginning of 1996. Technical foam net sales for
1996 increased 17.0% to $17.9 million from $15.3 million in 1995 primarily due
to increased selling prices and increased net sales volume.

     Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 16.9% for 1996 from
14.2% in 1995 primarily due to selling price increases and improved material and
production efficiencies.

     Income from operations increased to $24.9 million for 1996 from $16.9
million in 1995 primarily due to improved gross profit margins as discussed
above offset by an increase of $1.2 million in selling, general and
administrative expenses for 1996. The increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses is primarily due to increases associated with management
realignment under the operational plan offset by reductions in salary,
professional and travel costs.

     Income from continuing operations increased to $11.4 million for 1996 from
$5.2 million in 1995 primarily due to the reasons cited above. The increase in
interest and debt issuance expense is primarily due to (i) the inclusion in 1996
continuing operations of interest expense on the $29.8 million of public debt
that Foamex L.P. has offered to redeem (see Note 5 to the condensed consolidated
financial statements); whereas for the 1995 period, this interest expense was
allocated to discontinued operations (ii) offset by favorable results from
interest rate swap agreements.

     The loss from discontinued operations totaling $2.0 million for 1996 is the
result of the sale of Perfect Fit which was completed on August 1, 1996. See
notes to condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

<PAGE>


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


     The extraordinary loss on early extinguishment of debt of $0.7 million
relates to the write-off of debt issuance costs associated with the early
extinguishment of $12.0 million of bank term loan borrowings.

     Operating results for 1996 are expected to be influenced by various
internal and external factors. These factors include, among other things, (i)
the implementation of an operational plan to improve the profitability of the
foam products segment, (ii) the completion of the consolidation of thirteen foam
production, fabrication or branch locations, (iii) the potential reduction of
long-term debt with substantially all of the proceeds from the sale of the home
comfort products segment, (iv) additional raw material price increases, if any,
by Foamex L.P.'s chemical suppliers and (v) Foamex L.P.'s success in passing on
selling price increases to recover previous raw material cost increases.(1)

39 Week Period Ended September 29, 1996 Compared to 39 Week Period Ended 
October 1, 1995

Results of Operations

     Net sales for 1996 were $696.3 million as compared to $651.9 million in
1995, an increase of $44.4 million or 6.8%. Carpet cushion net sales for 1996
increased 4.7% to $217.2 million from $207.5 million in 1995 primarily due to
increased selling prices late in the second quarter of 1996 offset by a decrease
in net sales volume during the first quarter of 1996. Cushioning foam net sales
for 1996 increased 7.6% to $252.0 million from $234.2 million in 1995 primarily
due to increased net sales volume from both new and existing customers of
bedding related products, increased selling prices initiated at the beginning of
1996 and the April 1995 acquisition of a company which manufactures cushioning
products. Automotive foam net sales for 1996 increased 8.0% to $175.2 million
from $162.2 million in 1995 primarily due to a continued increase in net sales
of tri-laminates and composite headliners and increased selling prices initiated
at the beginning of 1996. Technical foam net sales for 1996 increased 8.1% to
$51.9 million from $48.0 million in 1995 primarily due to increased selling
prices and increased net sales volume.

     Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 16.4% for 1996 from
14.8% in 1995 primarily due to selling price increases and improved material and
production efficiencies.

     Income from operations increased to $72.0 million for 1996 from $55.6
million in 1995 primarily due to improved gross profit margins as discussed
above offset by an increase of $1.1 in selling, general and administrative
expenses. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is
primarily due to increases associated with management realignment under the
operational plan offset by reductions in salary, professional and travel costs.

     Income from continuing operations increased to $34.6 million for 1996 from
$19.5 million in 1995 primarily due to the reasons cited above and a decrease in
interest and debt issuance expense of $1.7 million. The decrease in interest and
debt issuance expense was primarily due to favorable results from interest rate
swap agreements offset by the inclusion in 1996 continuing operations of
interest expense on the $29.8 million of public debt that Foamex L.P. has
offered to redeem (see Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial
statements); whereas for the 1995 period, this interest expense was allocated to
discontinued operations.

     The loss from discontinued operations totaling $41.5 million for 1996 is
the result of the sale of Perfect Fit which was completed on August 1, 1996 and
the operating losses of Perfect Fit for the periods presented. See notes to
condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

     The extraordinary loss on early extinguishment of debt of $0.7 million
relates to the write-off of debt issuance costs associated with the early
extinguishment of $12.0 million of bank term loan borrowings.

     conjunction with the discussion regarding forward-looking statements set
     forth on Page 5 of Foamex L.P.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

by Foamex L.P.'s chemical suppliers and (v) Foamex L.P.'s success in passing on
selling price increases to recover previous raw material cost increases.(1)

Foamex Capital Corporation ("FCC")

     FCC is solely a co-issuer of certain indebtedness of Foamex L.P. and FCC
has no other material operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Liquidity

     Foamex L.P.'s operating cash requirements consist principally of working
capital requirements, scheduled payments of principal and interest on
outstanding indebtedness and capital expenditures. Foamex L.P. believes that
cash flow from operating activities, cash on hand and periodic borrowings under
its revolving credit agreement, if necessary, will be adequate to meet the
operating cash requirements. The ability to meet operating cash requirements
could be impaired if Foamex L.P. were to fail to comply with any of the
covenants contained in the Foamex L.P. credit facility (the "Foamex L.P. Credit
Facility") and such noncompliance was not cured by Foamex L.P. or waived by the
lenders. Foamex L.P. was in compliance with such covenants as of September 29,
1996 and expects to be in compliance with such covenants for the foreseeable
future. The ability of Foamex L.P. to make distributions to Foamex International
is restricted by the terms of its financing agreements.

     Cash and cash equivalents increased $46.9 million during 1996 to $47.5
million at September 29, 1996 from $0.6 million at December 31, 1995 primarily
due to net proceeds received from the sale of Perfect Fit and improved operating
results for 1996 as compared to 1995. Working capital increased $52.8 million
for 1996 to $119.2 million at September 29, 1996 from $66.4 million at December
31, 1995. The increase in working capital is primarily due to the net proceeds
received on the sale of Perfect Fit and improved results from continuing
operations. The net operating assets and liabilities (comprised of accounts
receivable, inventories and accounts payable) increased $19.2 million to $143.3
million at September 29, 1996 from $124.1 million at December 31, 1995 primarily
due to an increase in accounts receivable offset by increased accounts payable.
The increase in accounts receivable and accounts payable were primarily due to
an increase in net sales for September 1996 as compared to December 1995.
Inventories were fairly consistent as compared to December 31, 1995.

     Cash Flow from Operating Activities

     Cash flow from operating activities was $34.0 million and $30.9 million in
1996 and 1995, respectively. Cash flow from operating activities increased for
1996 as compared to 1995 primarily due to improved results from continuing
operations and changes in the assets and liabilities of discontinued operations
offset by a use of operating assets and liabilities.

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

     Cash Flow from Investing Activities

     During 1996, Foamex L.P. spent approximately $14.5 million on capital
expenditures and expects to maintain spending for capital expenditures at this
level for the foreseeable future.

     On August 1, 1996, Foamex L.P. consummated the Perfect Fit sale and
received approximately $45.4 million in cash proceeds, subject to post-closing
adjustments.

     Cash Flow from Financing Activities

     As of September 29, 1996, there were no outstanding revolving credit
borrowings under the Foamex L.P. Credit Facility with unused availability of
approximately $33.3 million.

     Borrowings by Foamex Canada Inc. as of September 29, 1996 were $3.7
million under a revolving credit agreement with unused availability of
approximately $0.8 million.

     During 1996, Foamex L.P. used approximately $12.0 million of the net
proceeds from the sale of Perfect Fit to repay bank term borrowings.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

     Foamex L.P. enters into interest rate swaps to lower funding costs and/or
to manage interest costs and exposure to changing interest rates. Foamex L.P.
does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. Foamex L.P.
has an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $150.0 million
through June 2000. Under the swap agreement, Foamex L.P. is obligated to make
variable payments based on LIBOR in exchange for fixed payments at a rate of
5.81% per annum by the swap partner payable semiannually in arrears. Interest
expense will be subject to fluctuations in LIBOR. Foamex L.P. is exposed to
credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the swap partner; however, the
occurrence of this event is not anticipated.

     Also, Foamex L.P. has an interest rate swap agreement, as amended, for a
notional amount of $150.0 million through December 1999. Under this agreement,
Foamex L.P. has made variable payments based on LIBOR with a cap of 5.5% and a
floor of 4.75% per annum for the six months ended in June 1995, variable
payments based on LIBOR with a floor of 4.75% per annum for the six months ended
in December 1995 and fixed payments at a rate of 5.81% per annum for the six
months ended in June 1996 and is obligated to make fixed payments at a rate of
5.81% per annum, for the remainder of the agreement, in exchange for variable
payments by the swap partner at the rate of LIBOR plus 0.80% per annum for the
six months ended in June 1995, LIBOR plus 0.72% per annum for the six months
ended in December 1995, LIBOR plus 2.45% per annum for the six months ended in
June 1996, LIBOR plus 2.39% per annum for the six months ended in December 1996,
the lower of 12.34% per annum less LIBOR or 7.34% per annum for the six months
ended in June 1997 and December 1997 and 12.34% per annum less LIBOR for the
remainder of the term of the agreement, payable semiannually in arrears. The
swap partner has the ability to terminate the swap agreement in December 1997.
Foamex L.P. is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the swap
partner; however, the occurrence of this event is not anticipated. Interest
expense will be subject to fluctuations in LIBOR. The effect of the two interest
rate swaps described above was a favorable adjustment to interest expense of
$0.9 million and $0.2 million for the thirteen week periods and $2.8 million and
$0.9 million for the thirty-nine week periods ended September 29, 1996 and
October 1, 1995, respectively.

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

Environmental Matters

     Foamex L.P. is subject to extensive and changing environmental laws and
regulations. Expenditures to date in connection with Foamex L.P.'s compliance
with such laws and regulations did not have a material adverse effect on
operations, financial position, capital expenditures or competitive position.
The amount of liabilities recorded by Foamex L.P. in connection with
environmental matters as of September 29, 1996 was $5.1 million. In addition, as
of September 29, 1996, Foamex L.P. has receivables of $0.6 million, net of $1.0
million allowance relating to potential disagreements regarding the scope of
indemnification for environmental liabilities from former partners. Although it
is possible that new information or future developments could require Foamex
L.P. to reassess its potential exposure to all pending environmental matters,
including those described in the footnotes to Foamex L.P.'s condensed
consolidated financial statements, management believes that, based upon all
currently available information, the resolution of all such pending
environmental matters will not have a material adverse effect on Foamex L.P.'s
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 and
that may be material.

Inflation and Other Matters

     There was no significant impact on Foamex L.P.'s operations as a result of
inflation for the periods presented. In some circumstances, market conditions or
customer expectations may prevent Foamex L.P. from increasing the price of its
products to offset the inflationary pressures that may increase its costs in the
future.
