FOAMEX L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Foamex L.P.'s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 28,
1997 has been condensed from the audited consolidated balance sheet at that
date. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1998 and the
condensed consolidated statements of operations for the quarter and year to date
periods ended September 30, 1998 and September 28, 1997 and the condensed
consolidated statements of cash flows for the year to date periods ended
September 30, 1998 and September 28, 1997 have been prepared by Foamex L.P. and
subsidiaries and have not been audited by Foamex L.P.'s independent accountants.
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.
During September 1998, management of Foamex L.P. decided to change the
year-end reporting requirement of Foamex L.P. from a fifty-two or fifty-three
week fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to the end of the calendar year to
a calendar year ending December 31st to improve the internal reporting
requirement of Foamex L.P. On November 3, 1998, Foamex International's Board of
Directors and other required third parties approved the fiscal year-end change.
This change is effective for the third fiscal quarter of 1998 which ended on
September 30, 1998 and will result in a 1998 fiscal year end of December 31,
1998 as compared to January 3, 1999; accordingly, the quarterly period ended
September 30, 1998 includes an additional three days with estimated revenues of
approximately $18.9 million.
On December 23, 1997, Foamex International Inc. ("Foamex International")
acquired Crain Industries, Inc. ("Crain") pursuant to a merger agreement with
Crain Holdings Corp. for a purchase price of approximately $213.7 million,
including the assumption of debt with a face value of approximately $98.6
million (and an estimated fair value of approximately $112.3 million), Foamex
International then contributed the assets of Crain subject to all of its
liabilities and indebtedness to Foamex L.P. (the "Crain Acquisition"). In
addition, fees and expenses associated with the Crain Acquisition were
approximately $13.2 million. (See Note 3).
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 1997 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as set forth in
Foamex L.P.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December
28, 1997.
2. TRANSFER OF GENERAL FELT INDUSTRIES, INC.
On February 27, 1998, Foamex International, Foamex L.P. and certain of
its affiliates completed a series of transactions designed to simplify Foamex
International's corporate structure and to provide future operational
flexibility. Prior to the consummation of these transactions, (i) Foamex L.P.
and Foamex L.P.'s wholly-owned subsidiary, General Felt Industries, Inc.
("General Felt"), entered into a Supply Agreement and an Administrative Services
Agreement (see Note 7), (ii) Foamex L.P. repaid its outstanding indebtedness to
General Felt with $4.8 million in cash and a $34.0 million principal amount
promissory note (the "Foamex/GFI Note") supported by a $34.5 million letter of
credit under the credit facility, (the "Credit Facility"), (iii) Foamex L.P.
contributed to General Felt $9.4 million of outstanding net intercompany
payables and intercompany loans with General Felt, and (iv) Foamex L.P. defeased
the $4.5 million outstanding principal amount of its 9 1/2% senior secured notes
due 2000. The initial transaction resulted in the transfer from Foamex L.P. to
Foam Funding LLC of all of the outstanding common stock of General Felt, in
exchange for (i) the assumption Foam Funding LLC of $129.0 million of Foamex
L.P.'s indebtedness and (ii) the transfer by Foam Funding LLC to Foamex L.P. of
a 1% non-managing general partnership interest in Foamex L.P. As a result,
General Felt ceased being a subsidiary of Foamex L.P. and was relieved from all
obligations under Foamex L.P.'s 9 7/8% senior subordinated notes due 2007 and 13
1/2% senior

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
2. TRANSFER OF GENERAL FELT INDUSTRIES, INC. (continued)
subordinated notes due 2005. Upon consummation of the initial transaction,
Foamex Carpet Cushion, Inc. ("Foamex Carpet"), a newly formed wholly-owned
subsidiary of Foamex International, Foamex International, Foam Funding LLC, and
General Felt entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement dated February 27, 1998,
in which General Felt sold substantially all of its assets (other than the
Foamex/GFI Note and its operating facility in Pico Rivera, California) to Foamex
Carpet in exchange for (i) $20.0 million in cash and (ii) a promissory note
issued by Foamex Carpet to Foam Funding LLC in the amount of $70.2 million. The
$20.0 million cash payment was funded with a distribution by Foamex L.P. As part
of these transactions, Foamex Fibers, Inc. ("Foamex Fibers"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of General Felt, was merged with and into General Felt and Foamex
LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Foamex L.P., was merged with and into Foamex
L.P. In addition, FMXI, Inc. and Crain, both wholly-owned subsidiaries of Foamex
International and general partners of Foamex L.P., were merged and Crain, as the
surviving corporation, subsequently changed its name to FMXI, Inc. Foamex Carpet
will conduct the carpet cushion business previously conducted by General Felt.
Also, Foam Funding LLC has retained ownership of one of General Felt's operating
facilities which is being leased to Foamex Carpet and the $34.0 million
Foamex/GFI Note.
No gain has been recognized on the General Felt net assets transferred to
Foam Funding LLC and repurchased by Foamex International. Foamex International
will continue to account for these net assets using the carryover basis of
Foamex L.P. The $129.0 million of debt assumed by Foam Funding LLC in the GFI
Transaction was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt which resulted in an
extraordinary loss of approximately $2.0 million. The 1% non-managing general
partnership interest acquired in connection with the GFI Transaction was
accounted for as a redemption of equity. By virtue of the transfer of General
Felt stock and the subsequent merger of General Felt into Foam Funding LLC, the
Pico Rivera facility was transferred to Foam Funding LLC; no gain was recognized
on the transfer since Foamex International leased-back the facility.
3. CRAIN ACQUISITION
On December 23, 1997, Foamex International acquired Crain pursuant to a
merger with Crain Holdings Corp. for a purchase price of approximately $213.7
million, including the assumption of debt with a face value of approximately
$98.6 million (with an estimated fair value of approximately $112.3 million),
Foamex International then contributed the assets of Crain, subject to all its
liabilities and indebtedness to Foamex L.P. Fees and expenses associated with
the Crain Acquisition are approximately $13.2 million. The acquisition was
funded by $118.0 million in bank borrowings by Foamex L.P. under the Credit
Facility. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the
net assets acquired was approximately $152.5 million.
The Crain Acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and the operations
of Crain are included in the consolidated statements of operations and cash
flows from the date of acquisition. The cost of the Crain Acquisition has been
allocated on the 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 using the straight-line
method over forty years. The allocation of the purchase price for the Crain
Acquisition is based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions and is subject
to revision once appraisals, valuations and other studies of the fair value of
the acquired assets and liabilities have been completed. The pro forma results
listed below are unaudited and assume that the Crain Acquisition occurred at the
beginning of fiscal year 1997.

5. LONG-TERM DEBT AND LONG-TERM DEBT - RELATED PARTY (continued)
Refinancing Associated with Transfer of General Felt Common Stock
In connection with the transfer of General Felt common stock (see Note
2), Foamex L.P. amended its agreements with lenders under the Credit Facility,
which included additional borrowings of $129.0 million under new term loan
agreements that were assumed by Foam Funding LLC (as discussed in Note 2) and
borrowings of $32.0 million under the existing revolving credit facility. These
funds were used to (i) repay approximately $125.1 million of existing term loans
and accrued interest thereon of approximately $0.9 million, (ii) deposit $4.8
million into an escrow account in order to defease the senior secured notes
during June 1998, (iii) repay $4.8 million of indebtedness owed to General Felt,
(iv) fund the $20.0 million distribution to Foamex International and (v) pay
fees and expenses of approximately $5.4 million. Also, this amendment increased
the availability under the revolving credit facility from $150.0 million to
$200.0 million; however, $34.5 million of this increase is used for a letter of
credit to support the Foamex/GFI Note.
Foamex/GFI Note
In connection with the transfer of General Felt's common stock, Foamex
L.P. entered into the $34.0 million Foamex/GFI Note to settle an existing
intercompany note payable to General Felt. The Foamex/GFI Note matures in March
2000 with interest payable at LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The principal
amount is due upon maturity in March 2000.
Principal Payments
Principal payments on Foamex L.P.'s long-term debt and long-term debt -
related party for the remainder of 1998 and for the next five years are as
follows: 1998 - $1.3 million; 1999 - $7.2 million; 2000 - $40.9 million; 2001 -
$6.9 million; 2002 - $2.9 million; 2003 - $147.8 million and thereafter - $500.8
million.
6. EARLY EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT
In connection with the General Felt transaction, Foamex L.P. incurred an
extraordinary loss on the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $3.1
million. The extraordinary loss is comprised of approximately $2.9 million for
the write-off of debt issuance costs and approximately $0.2 million of
professional fees and other costs.
During 1997, in connection with the refinancing plan of Foamex
International's indebtedness, Foamex International incurred an extraordinary
loss on the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $42.0 million (net of
income taxes of $25.7 million). The extraordinary loss is comprised of
approximately $39.0 million for premium and consent fee payments, approximately
$16.2 million for the write-off of debt issuance costs and debt discount,
approximately $8.2 million for the loss associated with the effective
termination and amendment of the interest rate swap agreements and approximately
$4.3 million of professional fees and other costs. In addition, during 1997
Foamex L.P. incurred extraordinary losses of approximately $0.6 million (net of
income taxes of $0.4 million) associated with the early extinguishment of
approximately $11.8 million of long-term debt funded with approximately $12.1
million of the remaining net proceeds from the sale of its Perfect Fit
Industries, Inc. subsidiary. The extraordinary loss is comprised of
approximately $0.4 million of premium payments and approximately $0.6 million
for the write-off of debt issuance costs.

7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Effective February 27, 1998, Foamex L.P. entered into the Supply
Agreement (see Note 2) (i) whereby Foamex Carpet may purchase from Foamex L.P.
finished prime, rubber and rebond carpet cushion at the lessor of cost plus 4.7%
or fair market value, (ii) Foamex L.P. may purchase from Foamex Carpet nonwoven
textile fiber products at the lessor of cost plus 15% or fair market value, and
(iii) either party may purchase from the other trim foam and other raw materials
and supplies for the lessor of the price paid for such raw materials or fair
market value. Prior to February 27, 1998, Foamex L.P. had sales and purchases
with General Felt based on an established intercompany transfer price which was
adjusted to comply with the transfer pricing regulations of the Internal Revenue
Code, as amended, if necessary. During the quarterly periods ended September 30,
1998 and September 28, 1997, Foamex L.P. sold approximately $43.6 million and
$37.1 million, respectively, to Foamex Carpet and purchased from Foamex Carpet
approximately $4.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively. During the year to
date periods ended September 30, 1998 and September 28, 1997, Foamex L.P. sold
approximately $110.0 million and $109.6 million, respectively, to Foamex Carpet
and purchased from Foamex Carpet approximately $7.4 million and $1.1 million,
respectively.
In connection with the General Felt transaction (see Note 2), Foamex L.P.
and Foamex Carpet entered into a Management Services Agreement whereby Foamex
L.P. will provide certain administrative functions on behalf of Foamex Carpet at
a cost basis. During the quarterly and year to date periods ended September 30,
1998, Foamex L.P. received $1.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively, for
services provided to Foamex Carpet.
During the year to date period ended September 30, 1998, Foamex L.P.
incurred approximately $0.5 million of interest expense on a $38.8 million note
due to General Felt. On February 27, 1998, Foamex L.P. repaid approximately $4.8
million of this note, and the balance was replaced by the Foamex/GFI Note. The
Foamex/GFI Note was retained by Foam Funding LLC in connection with the transfer
of General Felt. During the quarterly and year to date periods ended September
30, 1998, Foamex L.P. incurred approximately $0.6 million and $1.4 million,
respectively, of interest expense on the Foamex/GFI Note (see Note 2).
Foamex L.P. had a supply agreement (the "Supply Agreement") with Foamex
International pursuant to which, at the option of Foamex L.P., Foamex
International would 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
believed that the terms of the Supply Agreement were no less favorable than
those which Foamex L.P. could have obtained from an unaffiliated third party.
During the quarterly period ended September 28, 1997, Foamex L.P. purchased
approximately $31.4 million of raw material under the Supply Agreement. During
the year to date periods ended September 30, 1998 and September 28, 1997, Foamex
L.P. purchased approximately $15.0 million and $94.4 million, respectively, of
raw materials under the Supply Agreement. Effective March 30, 1998, Foamex L.P.
had discontinued utilizing the Supply Agreement to purchase its raw materials.
Foamex L.P. chartered an aircraft (which is owned by a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Foamex International) through a third party and incurred costs of
approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million during the quarterly periods ended
September 30, 1998 and September 28, 1997, respectively and approximately $0.7
million and $0.9 million during the year to date periods ended September 30,
1998 and September 28, 1997, respectively.
On December 11, 1996, Foamex L.P. entered into a Tax Distribution Advance
Agreement, pursuant to which its partners are entitled to obtain advances, in
the aggregate not to exceed $17.0 million, against future distributions under
Foamex L.P.'s tax distribution agreement. As of September 30, 1998, there were
$13.6 million of advances to Foamex International under this agreement.

8. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Foamex L.P. is subject to extensive and changing federal, state, local
and foreign environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to the
use, handling, storage, discharge and disposal of hazardous substances and the
remediation of environmental contamination, and as a result, is from time to
time involved in administrative and judicial proceedings and inquiries relating
to environmental matters. During the year to date period ended September 30,
1998, expenditures in connection with Foamex L.P.'s compliance with federal,
state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations did not have a
material adverse effect on Foamex L.P.'s operations, financial position, capital
expenditures or competitive position. As of September 30, 1998, Foamex L.P. has
accruals of approximately $3.4 million for environmental matters. In addition,
as of September 30, 1998 Foamex L.P. has net receivables of approximately $0.6
million relating to indemnification for environmental liabilities. Foamex L.P.
believes that realization of the receivables established for indemnification is
probable.
The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (the "1990 CAA Amendments") provide
for the establishment of federal emission standards for hazardous air pollutants
including methylene chloride, propylene oxide and TDI, materials used in the
manufacturing of foam. On December 27, 1996, the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (the "EPA") proposed regulations under the 1990 CAA Amendments
that will require manufacturers of slab stock polyurethane foam and foam
fabrication plants to reduce emissions of methylene chloride. Because these
regulations are subject to change prior to finalization, Foamex L.P. cannot
accurately predict the actual cost of their implementation. Foamex L.P. does not
believe implementation of the regulations will require it to make material
expenditures at facilities owned prior to December 23, 1997, due to Foamex
L.P.'s use of alternative technologies which do not utilize methylene chloride
and its ability to shift current production to the facilities which use these
alternative technologies; however, material expenditures may be required at the
facilities formerly operated by Crain. The 1990 CAA Amendments also may result
in the imposition of additional standards regulating air emissions from
polyurethane foam manufacturers, but these standards have not yet been proposed
or promulgated.
In addition to general regulatory requirements, state laws have resulted
or will result in more stringent regulations regarding the use and emission of
methylene chloride. Several former Crain facilities have been required to meet
greater restrictions regarding emission limits and/or quantities used of this
chemical.
On April 10, 1997, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration
promulgated new standards governing employee exposure to methylene chloride,
which is used as a blowing agent in some of Foamex International's manufacturing
processes. Foamex International does not believe that it will be required to
make any material expenditures to comply with these new standards due to its use
of alternative technologies which do not use methylene chloride and its ability
to shift production to facilities which use these technologies; however,
material expenditures may be required at the facilities formerly operated by
Crain.
Foamex L.P. has reported to appropriate state authorities that it has
found soil and groundwater contamination in excess of state standards at four
facilities and soil contamination in excess of state standards at three 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. The
actual cost and the timetable of any such remediation cannot be predicted with
any degree of certainty at this time. As of September 30, 1998, Foamex L.P. has
accruals of approximately $2.8 million for the remaining potential remediation
costs for these facilities based on estimates.
Federal regulations require that by the end of 1998 all underground
storage tanks ("USTs") be removed or upgraded in all states to meet applicable
standards. Foamex L.P. has two USTs that will require removal or permanent
in-place closure by the end of 1998. Due to the age of these tanks, leakage may
have occurred resulting in soil and possibly groundwater contamination. Foamex
L.P. has accrued $0.1 million for the estimated removal and remediation, if any,
associated with these USTs. However, the full extent of contamination and,
11

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
8. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS (continued)
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
a significant risk of environmental liability because of Foamex L.P.'s
monitoring practices for USTs and conditional approval for the 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 EPA with respect to nine sites, with an estimated total liability
to Foamex L.P. for the nine sites of less than approximately $0.5 million.
Estimates of total clean-up 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.
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, including those described herein, 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.
9. LITIGATION
As of November 16, 1998, Foamex L.P. and Trace International Holdings,
Inc. ("Trace Holdings") were two of multiple defendants in actions filed on
behalf of approximately 5,000 recipients of breast implants in various United
States federal and state courts and one Canadian provincial court. Some of these
transactions allege substantial damages, but most of these actions allege
unspecified damages for personal injuries of various types. Three 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 700 residents of Australia, New Zealand, England, and Ireland.
Foamex L.P. believes that the number of suits may increase. 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. 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.
Foamex L.P. is indemnified by Trace Holdings for any such liabilities relating
to foam manufactured prior to October 1990. Although Trace Holdings has paid
Foamex L.P.'s litigation expenses to date pursuant to such indemnification,
there can be no absolute assurance that Trace Holdings will be able to provide
such indemnification in the future. While it is not feasible to predict or
determine the outcome of these actions, based on Foamex L.P.'s present
assessment of the merits of pending claims, after consultation with the general
counsel of Trace Holdings, and without taking into account potential indemnity
from the manufacturers of polyurethane covered breast implants, 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. If Foamex L.P.'s assessment of liability with respect to
these actions is incorrect, such actions could have a material adverse effect on
Foamex L.P.
In November 1997, a complaint was filed in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of Texas alleging that various defendants,
including Crain through the use of the CARDIO(R) process licensed from a third
party, infringed on a patent held by plaintiff. Foamex L.P. is negotiating with
the licensor of the process for the assumption of the defense of the action by
the licensor; however, the action is in the preliminary stages, and there can be
no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of the action.

9. LITIGATION (continued)
On or about March 17, 1998, five purported class action lawsuits were
filed in the Delaware Chancery Court, New Castle County (the "Court"), against
Foamex International, directors of Foamex International, Trace Holdings, and
individual officers and directors of Trace Holdings: Brickell Partners v.
Marshall S. Cogan, et al., No. 16260NC; Mimona Capital v. Salvatore J. Bonanno,
et al., No. 16259NC; Daniel Cohen v. Foamex International Inc., No. 16263;
Eileen Karisinki v. Foamex International Inc., et al., No. 16261NC and John E.
Funky Trust v. Salvatore J. Bonanno, et al., No. 16267. A sixth purported class
action lawsuit, Barnett Stepak v. Foamex International Inc., et al., No. 16277,
was filed on or about March 23, 1998 against the same defendants. A stipulation
and order consolidating these six actions under the caption In re Foamex
International Inc. Shareholders Litigation Consolidation Action, No. 16259NC was
entered by the Court on May 28, 1998 (the "Shareholders Litigation"). The
complaints in the six actions allege, among other things, that the defendants
have violated fiduciary and other common law duties purportedly owed to Foamex
International's stockholders in connection with Trace Holdings' initial proposal
to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Foamex International's common stock.
The complaints sought, among other things, class certification, a declaration
that the defendants have breached their fiduciary duties to the class,
preliminary and permanent injunctions barring implementation of the proposed
transaction, rescission of the transaction if consummated, unspecified
compensatory damages, and costs and attorneys' fees. The parties to the
Stockholder Litigation entered into a Memorandum of Understanding, dated June
25, 1998 to settle the Stockholder Litigation, subject to, inter alia, execution
of a definitive Stipulation of Settlement and approval by the Court following
notice to the stockholders and a hearing, and on September 9, 1998, the parties
entered into a definitive Stipulation of Settlement. On November 10, 1998,
counsel for certain of the defendants in the Stockholder Litigation gave notice
pursuant to the Stipulation of Settlement that such defendants were withdrawing
from the Stipulation of Settlement. On November 12, 1998, the plaintiffs in the
Stockholder Litigation filed an amended class action complaint against Foamex
International, Trace Holdings and certain individual directors of Foamex
International alleging that (i) they breached their fiduciary and other common
law duties purportedly owed to Foamex International's stockholders in connection
with Trace Holding's revised proposal to acquire all of the outstanding shares
of Foamex International's common stock, (ii) the individual defendants violated
the Delaware Code in approving the Merger Agreement (as hereinafter defined),
and (iii) Trace Holdings breached the Stipulation of Settlement.
Foamex L.P. is party to various other lawsuits, both as defendant and
plaintiff, arising in the normal course of business. Management believes 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.
10. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 ("SFAS No. 130"), "Reporting
Comprehensive Income," which requires disclosure of comprehensive income, as
defined, including comprehensive disclosure in interim financial statements.
Comprehensive income for the quarterly and year to date periods ended September
30, 1998 and September 28, 1997 is comprised of the following:

NOTES TO BALANCE SHEETS (unaudited)
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 and severally liable on the following borrowings
of Foamex L.P.:
9 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 ("Senior Subordinated Notes")
The Senior Subordinated Notes were issued by Foamex L.P. and FCC in
connection with the June 1997 refinancing plan. The Senior Subordinated Notes
bear interest at the rate of 9 7/8% per annum payable semiannually on each June
15 and December 15, commencing December 15, 1997. The Senior Subordinated Notes
mature on June 15, 2007. The Senior Subordinated Notes may be redeemed at the
option of Foamex L.P., in whole or in part, at any time on or after June 15,
2002, initially at 104.938% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest and
liquidated damages, as defined, if any, thereon to the date of redemption and
declining to 100.0% on or after June 15, 2005. In addition, at any time prior to
June 15, 2000, Foamex L.P. may on one or more occasions redeem up to 35.0% of
the initially outstanding principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes at a
redemption price equal to 109.875% of the principal amount, plus accrued
interest and liquidated damages, if any, thereon to the date of redemption with
the cash proceeds of one or more Public Equity Offerings, as defined. Upon the
occurrence of a change of control, as defined, each holder of Senior
Subordinated Notes will have the right to require Foamex L.P. to repurchase the
Senior Subordinated Notes at a price equal to 101.0% of the principal amount,
plus accrued interest and liquidated damages, if any, to the date of repurchase.
Trace Holdings' proposed acquisition of Foamex International may constitute such
a change of control. The Senior Subordinated Notes are subordinated in right of
payment to all senior indebtedness and are pari passu in right of payment to the
13 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes and approximately $7.0 million subordinated
promissory note.
13 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2005 ("13 1/2% Senior Subordinated
Notes")
The 13 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes were issued by Foamex L.P. and FCC
in a private placement on December 23, 1997 in connection with the Crain
Acquisition. The 13 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes bear interest at the rate of
13 1/2% per annum payable semiannually on each February 15 and August 15,
commencing February 15, 1998. The 13 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes mature on
August 15, 2005. The 13 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes may be redeemed at the
option of Foamex L.P., in whole or in part, at any time on or after August 15,
2000, initially at 106.75% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest and
liquidated damages, as defined, if any, thereon to the date of redemption and
declining to 100.0% on or after August 15, 2004. Upon the occurrence of a change
of control, as defined, each holder of the 13 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes
will have the right to require Foamex L.P. to repurchase the 13 1/2% Senior
Subordinated Notes at a price equal to 101.0% of the principal amount, plus
accrued interest and liquidated damages, if any, to the date of repurchase.
Trace Holdings' proposed acquisition of Foamex International may constitute such
a change of control. The 13 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes are subordinated in
right of payment to all senior indebtedness and are pari passu in right of
payment to the Senior Subordinated Notes and an approximately $7.0 million of
subordinated promissory note.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Foamex L.P. operates in the flexible polyurethane and advanced polymer
foam products industry. 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. Certain information in this report
contains forward-looking statements and should be read in conjunction with the
discussion regarding forward-looking statements set forth on page five of Foamex
L.P.'s 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.
During 1997, Foamex L.P.'s products were utilized primarily in four
businesses: (i) Foam Products, consisting of cushioning foams, including
bedding, furniture, packaging, health care and foam-based consumer products such
as futons, pillows, mattress pads and juvenile furniture, (ii) Carpet Cushion
Products, consisting of carpet padding and related products, (iii) Automotive
Products, consisting of automotive trim, laminates and other accessories, and
(iv) Technical Products, consisting of reticulated and other specialty foams
used for reservoiring, gasketing and sealing.
On November 5, 1998, Trace Holdings, Trace Merger Sub, Inc. and Foamex
International entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger
Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Trace Merger Sub
will be merged with and into Foamex International (the "Merger") and each
outstanding share of common stock (except for shares owned by the Trace Holdings
shareholders, shares owned by Foamex International and shares owned by the
stockholders who perfected their appraisal rights in accordance with the
Delaware law) will be converted into the right to received $12.00 in cash,
without interest. Also on November 5, 1998, Trace Holdings terminated the prior
Merger Agreement among the parties by delivering a Notice of Termination to
Foamex International. Trace Holdings terminated the prior Merger Agreement
because the financing condition contained in the prior Merger Agreement was
incapable of being satisfied on or prior to December 31, 1998.
Consummation of the Merger is subject to various conditions, including,
among others: (i) the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement by (A) the
affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock entitled to vote thereon, and (B) the affirmative vote of a majority of
the independent Shares (as defined) voting with respect to the Merger, (ii) the
absence of any injunction preventing consummation of the Merger, (iii) the
obtaining of financing for the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement
on terms and conditions and in amounts reasonably satisfactory to Trace, and
(iv) other conditions that may be waived by the parties, including: the absence
of any action, suit, claim or legal, administrative or arbitral proceeding or
investigation pending before any governmental entity seeking to restrain or
prohibit, or to obtain damages in respect of, the Merger Agreement or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby.
In April 1998, Foamex L.P.'s facility in Orlando, Florida was damaged by
a fire which recommenced the manufacturing of Foam Products in mid-September
1998. During this idle period, Foamex L.P. supplied local customers from other
facilities. Foamex L.P. believes that it has adequate insurance coverage for
business interruption and damages to the facility associated with the fire;
however, there can be no assurance that the fire will not have a significant
impact on Foamex L.P.'s financial position or operations.
On February 27, 1998, Foamex International, Foamex L.P. and certain of
its affiliates completed a series of transactions designed to simplify Foamex
International's corporate structure and to provide future operational
flexibility. Prior to the consummation of these transactions, (i) Foamex L.P.
and Foamex L.P.'s wholly-owned subsidiary, General Felt, entered into the Supply
Agreement and the Administrative Services Agreement, (ii) Foamex L.P. repaid its
outstanding indebtedness to General Felt with $4.8 million in cash and the
Foamex/GFI Note supported by a $34.5 million letter of credit under the Credit
Facility, (iii) Foamex L.P. contributed to General Felt $9.4 million of
outstanding net intercompany payables and intercompany loans with General Felt
and (iv) Foamex L.P. defeased the $4.5 million outstanding principal amount of
its 9 1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2000. The initial transaction resulted in
the transfer from Foamex L.P. to Foam Funding LLC of all of the outstanding
common stock of General Felt, in exchange for (i) the assumption by Foam Funding
LLC of $129.0 million of Foamex L.P.'s indebtedness and (ii) the transfer by
Foam Funding LLC to Foamex L.P. of a 1% non-managing general partnership
interest in Foamex L.P. As a result, each of General Felt and Foamex Fibers
ceased being a subsidiary of Foamex L.P. and was relieved from all obligations
under Foamex L.P.'s 9 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes and 13 1/2% senior
subordinated notes due 2005. Upon consummation of the initial transaction,
Foamex Carpet, a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of Foamex International,
Foamex International, Foam Funding LLC, and General Felt
17
<PAGE>
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which General Felt sold
substantially all of its assets (other than the Foamex/GFI Note and its
operating facility in Pico Rivera, California) to Foamex Carpet in exchange for
(i) $20.0 million in cash and (ii) a promissory note issued by Foamex Carpet to
Foam Funding LLC in the amount of $70.2 million. The $20.0 million cash payment
was funded with a distribution by Foamex L.P. As part of these transactions,
Foamex Fibers, a wholly-owned subsidiary of General Felt, was merged with and
into General Felt and Foamex LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Foamex L.P., was
merged with and into Foamex L.P. In addition, FMXI, Inc. and Crain, both
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Foamex International and general partners of Foamex
L.P., were merged and Crain, as the surviving corporation, subsequently changed
its name to FMXI, Inc. Foamex Carpet will conduct the carpet cushion business
previously conducted by General Felt. Also, Foam Funding LLC has retained
ownership of one of General Felt's operating facilities which is being leased to
Foamex Carpet and the Foamex/GFI Note.
No gain has been recognized on the General Felt net assets transferred to
Foam Funding LLC and repurchased by Foamex International. Foamex International
will continue to account for these net assets using the carryover basis of
Foamex L.P. The $129.0 million of debt assumed by Foam Funding LLC in the GFI
Transaction was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt which resulted in an
extraordinary loss of approximately $2.0 million. The 1% non-managing general
partnership interest acquired in connection with the GFI Transaction was
accounted for as a redemption of equity. By virtue of the transfer of General
Felt stock and the subsequent merger of General Felt into Foam Funding LLC, the
Pico Rivera facility was transferred to Foam Funding LLC; no gain was recognized
on the transfer since Foamex International leased-back the facility.
On December 23, 1997, Foamex International acquired Crain pursuant to a
merger agreement with Crain Holdings for a purchase price of approximately
$213.7 million, including the assumption of debt with a face value of
approximately $98.6 million (and an estimated fair value of approximately $112.3
million). Foamex International then contributed the assets of Crain subject to
all of its liabilities and indebtedness to Foamex L.P. In addition, fees and
expenses associated with the Crain Acquisition are approximately $13.2 million.
Operating results for 1998 are expected to be influenced by various
internal and external factors. These factors include, among other things, (i)
consolidation of the Crain Acquisition, (ii) continued implementation of the
continuous improvement program to improve Foamex L.P.'s profitability, (iii)
additional raw material cost increases, if any, by Foamex L.P.'s chemical
suppliers, (iv) Foamex L.P.'s success in passing on to its customers selling
price increases to recover such raw material cost increases and (v) fluctuations
in interest rates.
Quarterly Period Ended September 30, 1998 Compared to Quarterly Period Ended
September 28, 1997
Results of Operations
Net sales for the third quarter of 1998 were $300.3 million as compared
to $233.4 million in the third quarter of 1997, an increase of $66.9 million or
28.7%. Foam Products net sales for the third quarter of 1998 increased to $155.6
million from $89.8 million in the third quarter of 1997 primarily due to net
sales from the Crain operations and increased volume to our national bedding
customers and fabricators. Carpet Cushion Products net sales for the third
quarter of 1998 decreased 28.8% to $51.3 million from $72.0 million in the third
quarter of 1997 primarily due to the transfer of General Felt offset by the net
sales from the Crain Acquisition. Automotive Products net sales for the third
quarter of 1998 increased 40.6% to $73.6 million from $52.3 million in the third
quarter of 1997 primarily due to increased volume associated with above normal
volume to General Motors and General Motor suppliers following the settlement of
the General Motor labor dispute. This above normal level of volume is not
expected to continue. Technical Products net sales for the third quarter of 1998
increased 2.6% to $19.8 million from $19.3 million in the third quarter of 1997
primarily due to increased net sales volume for felted, gasketing, and sealing
products.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 16.1% for the
third quarter of 1998 from 16.3% in the third quarter of 1997 primarily due to a
shift in product mix for 1998 as a result of the Crain Acquisition and transfer
of General Felt offset by increased purchasing leverage. Crain's principal
product lines, bedding, furniture and carpet cushion, have inherently lower
gross profit margins than Foamex L.P.'s historical gross
18
<PAGE>
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
profit margins.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to
the transfer of General Felt offset by additional expenses from Crain's
operations.
Income from operations increased to $34.1 million for the third quarter
of 1998 from $22.5 million in the third quarter of 1997 primarily due to the
Crain Acquisition and other items discussed above..
Income before extraordinary loss increased to $15.8 million for the third
quarter of 1998 as compared to $9.5 million for the third quarter of 1997. The
increase is primarily due to the increase in income from operations discussed
above offset by an increase of approximately $5.0 million in interest and debt
issuance expense and an increase of $1.4 million in other income (expense), net
associated with certain financial and legal advisors used by Foamex
International in the buyout proposal and foreign currency loss in Mexico and
Canada. The increase in interest and debt issuance expense is primarily due to
the additional debt incurred in connection with the Crain Acquisition and the
June 1997 refinancing plan.
Year to Date Period Ended September 30, 1998 Compared to Year to Date Period
Ended September 28, 1997
Results of Operations
Net sales for the year to date period ended September 30, 1998 were
$873.6 million as compared to $702.4 million for the year to date period ended
September 28, 1997, an increase of $171.2 million or 24.4%. Foam Products net
sales for the year to date period ended September 30, 1998 increased to $450.6
million from $259.7 million for the year to date period ended September 28, 1997
primarily due to the net sales from the Crain operations and increased volume to
our national bedding customers and fabricators. Carpet Cushion Products net
sales for the year to date period ended September 30, 1998 decreased 24.3% to
$162.6 million from $214.9 million for the year to date period ended September
28, 1997 primarily due to the transfer of General Felt and reduction of rebond
selling prices as compared to 1997 and product mix offset by net sales from the
Crain operations. Automotive Products net sales for the year to date period
ended September 30, 1998 increased 16.3% to $199.3 million from $171.4 million
for the year to date period ended September 28, 1997 primarily due to increased
volume. Technical Products net sales for the year to date period ended September
30, 1998 increased 8.2% to $61.1 million from $56.4 million for the year to date
period ended September 28, 1997 primarily due to increased net sales volume for
felted, gasketing, and sealing products.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 16.4% for the year
to date period ended September 30, 1998 from 17.9% in the year to date period
ended September 28, 1997 primarily due to the shift in product mix for 1998 as a
result of the Crain Acquisition. Crain's principal product lines, bedding,
furniture and carpet cushion, have inherently lower gross profit margins than
Foamex International's historical gross profit margins. Also, the gross profit
was lower since Foamex International carried the full individual operating costs
of both organizations during the first half of 1998.
Income from operations increased to $91.8 million for the year to date
period ended September 30, 1998 from $78.7 million in the year to date period
ended September 28, 1997 primarily due to the Crain Acquisition.
Income before extraordinary loss decreased to $38.1 million for the year
to date period ended September 30, 1998 as compared to $42.2 million for the
year to date period ended September 28, 1997. The decrease is primarily due the
increase in income from operations, offset by an increase of approximately $12.0
million in interest and debt issuance expense and an increase of $3.2 million of
other income (expense), net associated with certain fees and financial and legal
advisors used by Foamex International in the buyout proposal and foreign
currency losses in Mexico and Canada. The increase in interest and debt issuance
expense is primarily due to the additional debt incurred in connection with the
Crain Acquisition and the June 1997 refinancing plan.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The extraordinary loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately
$3.2 million during the year to date period ended September 30, 1998 primarily
relates to the write-off of debt issuance costs with debt extinguishment in
connection with the GFI Transaction and the redemption of the senior secured
notes. The extraordinary loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately
$45.5 million during the year to date period ended September 28, 1997 primarily
relates to the write-off of debt issuance costs with debt extinguished in
connection with the June 1997 refinancing plan.
Foamex Capital Corporation ("FCC")
FCC is solely a co-issuer of certain indebtedness of Foamex L.P. and has
no other material operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
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
the Credit Facility, if necessary, will be adequate to meet operating cash
requirements. The ability to meet the operating cash requirements of Foamex L.P.
could be impaired if Foamex L.P. was to fail to comply with any of the covenants
contained in the Credit Facility and such noncompliance was not cured by Foamex
L.P. or waived by the lenders. Foamex L.P. was in compliance with the covenants
in the Credit Facility as of September 30, 1998 and expects to be in compliance
with the covenants for the foreseeable future.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $7.3 million during 1998 to $2.1
million at September 30, 1998 from $9.4 million at December 28, 1997 primarily
due to an increase of cash used by the operating assets and liabilities and cash
used for capital expenditures, offset by increased revolving credit borrowings.
Working capital increased $60.8 million during 1998 to $186.9 million at
September 30, 1998 from $126.1 million at December 28, 1997 primarily due to
changes in net operating assets (as discussed below), a decrease in current
portion of long-term debt and a net increase in other current assets and
liabilities. The decrease in current portion of long-term debt is primarily due
to the assumption of Foamex L.P.'s long-term debt by Foam Funding LLC in
connection with the General Felt transaction. The net increase in other current
assets and liabilities is primarily associated with the timing of payments for
prepaid expenses and the receipt of cash for other receivables. Net operating
assets and liabilities (comprised of accounts receivable, accounts receivables
from related parties, inventories, accounts payable and accounts payable related
parties) increased $14.6 million during 1998 to $177.1 million at September 30,
1998 from $162.5 million at December 28, 1997 primarily due to increases in
accounts receivable, accounts receivable related party, decreases in accounts
payable and accounts receivable related party. The increase in accounts
receivable is primarily due to an increase in net sales for September 1998 as
compared to December 1997. The decrease in accounts payable and in account
payable related party is primarily due to the timing of payments.
As of September 30, 1998, there were $137.0 million of revolving credit
borrowings under the Credit Facility and approximately $50.0 million associated
with letters of credit outstanding which are supported by the Credit Facility
with unused availability of approximately $13.1 million. Borrowings by Foamex
Canada as of September 30, 1998 were $3.6 million under Foamex Canada's
revolving credit agreement with unused availability of approximately $1.7
million.
Cash flow used for operating activities was $27.0 million for the year to
date period ended September 30, 1998 as compared to cash provided by of $8.8
million for the year to date period ended September 28, 1997. This decrease is
primarily due to (i) a reduction in operating cash results, (ii) cash used for
an increase in accounts receivable and other receivables associated with the
timing of receipts and (iii) a reduction in accounts payable and accounts
payable related party associated with the timing of payments.
Cash flow used for investing activities decreased to $36.2 million for
the year to date period ended September 30, 1998 from $125.1 million for the
year to date period ended September 28, 1997 primarily due to the use of $105.8
million of cash during 1997 to purchase the outstanding FJPS discount debentures
in connection
20

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
with the refinancing plan.
Cash flow provided by financing activities decreased to $55.9 million for
the year to date period ended September 30, 1998 as compared to cash provided of
$96.4 million for the year to date period ended September 28, 1997. The decrease
is due to greater net borrowings during the year to date period ended September
28, 1997 primarily relating to the June 1997 refinancing plan as compared to net
cash borrowings during the year to date period ended September 30, 1998
primarily for working capital needs and to fund distributions relating to the
General Felt transaction.
Certain credit agreements and promissory notes of Foamex L.P. and/or
Foamex Carpet pursuant to which approximately $500.0 million of debt has been
issued, contain provisions that would result in the acceleration of such
indebtedness if Trace were to cease to own at least 30% of the outstanding
common stock. Similarly, certain indentures of Foamex L.P. and Foamex Capital
Corporation relating to approximately $248.0 million of Senior Subordinated
Notes contain provisions that provide the holders of such Senior Subordinated
Notes with the right to require the issuers thereof to repurchase such Senior
Subordinated Notes at a price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal
amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if Trace Holdings
falls below certain specified ownership levels of common stock and other persons
or group owns a greater percentage of common stock than Trace Holdings. Trace
Holdings has informed Foamex International that it has substantial debt
obligations due at the end of December 1998 and currently does not have the
financial resources to pay these obligations. Trace Holdings intends to seek
waivers and/or modifications of such indebtedness; however, there can be no
assurance that such waivers and/or modifications will be achieved. If Trace
Holdings were to default on its indebtedness and the holders of such
indebtedness or other Trace Holdings creditors were to foreclose on or otherwise
attach the common stock held by Trace Holdings, such event could trigger the
acceleration and put rights described above. Although management believes that
all such debt obligations would be refinanced under such circumstances, there
can be no assurance that Foamex International or its subsidiaries would be able
to do so. Trace Holdings has informed Foamex International that it anticipates
that if the proposed merger is consummated it will be able to satisfy or
restructure its outstanding obligations.
Interest Rate Swaps
In September 1998, Foamex International sold its existing interest rate
swap agreements for a net gain of approximately $1.0 million which is being
amortized over the life of the debt.
The effect of Foamex International's interest rate swap agreements was a
favorable adjustment to interest and debt issuance expense of $0.3 million and
$0.5 million for the quarterly periods ended September 30, 1998 and September
28, 1997, respectively and $0.7 million and $2.2 million for the year to date
periods ended September 30, 1998 and September 28, 1997, respectively.
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 30, 1998 was $3.4 million. In addition, as
of September 30, 1998 Foamex L.P. has net receivables of $0.6 million for
indemnification of environmental liabilities from former owners. 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 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.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Inflation and Other Matters
There was no significant impact on Foamex L.P.'s operations as a result
of inflation during 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.
Foamex L.P.'s automotive products 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.
Year 2000 Compliance
Foamex International uses multiple business information systems as well
as manufacturing support systems that could be impacted by the "Year 2000
problem". The Year 2000 problem arises from computer programs that have been
written using two digits rather than four to designate the year. Date-sensitive
computer software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than
the year 2000, resulting in system failures or miscalculations, which may cause
operational disruptions.
Foamex International is in the process of the remediation of their
business information computer systems. Foamex International is also in the
process of the conversion of the former Crain systems to Foamex International's
standard business information computer systems. The replacement of these systems
will increase the integration of systems and allow employees at different
locations to share financial information and operations information more
effectively. Remediation of Foamex International business information computer
systems and the conversion of the former Crain systems should be completed in
1998. These systems and software are Year 2000 compliant, thus handling the
majority of Foamex International's Year 2000 business systems requirements.
Foamex International has a Year 2000 Executive Sponsor Team with
representatives of Foamex International. The Year 2000 Executive Sponsor Team is
providing direction to the Year 2000 Steering Committee within the organization.
The Steering Committee is in the process of completing an assessment of the
state of readiness of the Information Technology ("IT") and non-IT systems of
Foamex International. These assessments cover manufacturing systems, including
laboratory information systems and field instrumentation, and significant third
party vendor and supplier systems, including employee compensation and benefit
plan maintenance systems. The Steering Committee is also in the process of
assessing the readiness of significant customers and suppliers.
The Year 2000 assessment process for each facility consists of an
inventory of Year 2000 sensitive equipment, an assessment of the impact of
possible failures, determination of the required remediation actions, and
testing and implementation of solutions. The inventory, assessment, remediation
and testing phases should be completed in 1998, with fail safe testing and final
implementation taking place in 1999. The progress of these phases as of
September 30, 1998 is summarized as follows:
The total estimated spending of $2.4 million for Foamex International
represents a midpoint of an estimated range between $2.1 million and $2.7
million. These spending estimates will be refined as phases of the assessment
are completed. Spending is funded by cash generated from operations. Preliminary
estimates indicate that from 25 to 35 percent of the estimated costs could
qualify for capitalization.
Management believes that all significant systems controlled by Foamex
International will be Year 2000 ready in the last half of 1999. While the
Steering Committee is communicating readiness to third party customers, as
requested, and is assessing the readiness of critical suppliers, there can be no
assurance that third parties with a significant business relationship will
successfully test, reprogram, and replace all of their IT and non-IT systems on
a timely basis. As part of the overall readiness, Foamex International is in the
process of developing contingency plans in the event of Year 2000 non-compliance
of certain systems or third parties. Details of such contingency
22
<PAGE>
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
plans will be determined after the Steering Committee has completed its
assessment of both internal and third party systems and the potential for
possible failures.
There is inherent uncertainty in the Year 2000 problem due to the
possibility of unanticipated failures by third party customers and suppliers.
Accordingly, Foamex International is unable, at this time, to assess the extent
and resulting materiality of the impact of possible Year 2000 failures on its
operations, liquidity or financial position. The Year 2000 assessment process is
expected to provide information that will significantly reduce the level of
uncertainty regarding the Year 2000 impact. Management believes that the
completion of the assessment as scheduled will help minimize the possibility of
any significant disruptions of Company operations.
New Accounting Standards
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 ("SFAS No. 130"),
"Reporting Comprehensive Income," was issued by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board in June 1997. This statement requires all items that must be
recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income to
be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence
as other financial statements. Foamex L.P. adopted SFAS No. 130 during the first
quarter of 1998 (see Note 10).
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 ("SFAS No. 131"),
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Restated Information," was
issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in June 1997. This statement
establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments in
annual financial statements and requires reporting of selected financial
information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to
stockholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about
products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. Foamex L.P. will
adopt SFAS No. 131 for year end 1998 reporting. Management is evaluating the
impact, if any, the standard will have on Foamex L.P.'s present segment
reporting.
In February 1998 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits"
("SFAS No. 132"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1997. SFAS No. 132 revised the required disclosures about pension and other
postretirement benefit plans. Foamex L.P. plans to adopt SFAS No. 132 in the
fourth quarter of 1998.
In June 1998 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133
("SFAS No. 133"), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities." SFAS No. 133 established new procedures for accounting for
derivatives and hedging activities and supercedes and amends a number of
existing standards. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 1999.
