        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)


1. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   Foamex International Inc.'s (the "Company") condensed consolidated balance
sheet as of December 31, 1995 has been condensed from the audited consolidated
balance sheet at that date. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March
31, 1996 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows
for the thirteen week periods ended March 31, 1996 and April 2, 1995 have been
prepared by the Company and have not been audited by the Company's independent
accountants. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of
the financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included.

   In October 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a plan to
evaluate the potential reduction of long-term debt with substantially all of the
proceeds from the possible sale of the automotive carpet, trim and textile
businesses of JPS Automotive (which together comprise the automotive textiles
segment and substantially all of the assets of JPS Automotive) and the home
comfort products segment of Perfect Fit (which comprises substantially all of
the assets of Perfect Fit). The Company is continuing to evaluate the possible
sale of these business segments; however, no definitive commitment has been
reached. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully
sell these business segments or as to the price or terms of any sale. The
consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments
that might result from any sale.

   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 the Company's 1995 consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto as set forth in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.

2. INVENTORIES

   The components of inventories consist of:

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

   Earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted
average shares of common stock outstanding. For 1996, common stock equivalents
have been included in the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding
and amounted to approximately 232,000 shares. For 1995, common stock equivalents
have not been included in the weighted average shares of common stock
outstanding since the effect would be antidilutive.

4. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

   The Company 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. The Company 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 March 31, 1996, the Company has environmental accruals of approximately $1.5
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. The
Company, like many other companies engaged in manufacturing, has USTs that will
require removal. Due to the age of many of the Company's approximately twelve
storage tanks, leakage has occurred from a few of these USTs resulting in soil
and possibly groundwater contamination. The Company 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. The Company believes that its USTs do not pose a significant risk
of environmental liability because of the Company'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 March 31, 1996, the aggregate environmental liability amounts to $8.7
million, $1.9 million of which is included in current liabilities. In addition,
the Company has a receivable of $1.1 million, net of an allowance of
approximately $1.0 million relating to potential disagreements regarding the
scope of the indemnification, for indemnification of environmental liabilities
from former owners of Foamex L.P. and JPS Automotive L.P., $0.6 million of which
is included in current assets. The Company believes that realization of the
receivables established for indemnification is probable.

   Although it is possible that new information or future developments could
require the Company 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 the Company'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.

5. LITIGATION

   As of May 3, 1996, Foamex L.P. and Trace International Holdings Inc. ("Trace
Holdings") were two of multiple defendants in actions filed on behalf of
approximately 4,400 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

5. LITIGATION (continued)

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 2,597
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 final. In addition, two of the cases filed on behalf of 903 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, notwithstanding 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. In addition,
Foamex L.P. is also indemnified by Trace Holdings for any such liabilities
relating to foam manufactured prior to capitalization 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 provide such indemnification. Based on
information available at this time with respect to the potential liability,
notwithstanding the indemnification provided by Trace Holdings and the coverage
provided by Trace Holdings' and Foamex L.P.'s liability insurance, the Company
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 the Company. 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 the Company.

   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, notwithstanding the indemnification provided by RFC,
the guaranty of such indemnification by RFC's parent company, Recticel s.a., and
the coverage provided by Foamex L.P.'s liability insurance, the Company 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 the Company. 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 the Company.

   The Company 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 the Company. If management's assessment of the
Company's liability with respect to these actions is incorrect, such actions
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial
position.

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


   Foamex International Inc. (the "Company") operates in three business
segments: polyurethane foam products, automotive textiles and home comfort
products. The foam products segment consists of the Company's largest subsidiary
Foamex L.P., together with Foamex L.P.'s wholly-owned subsidiaries, General Felt
Industries, Inc., Foamex Fibers, Inc., Foamex Canada Inc. ("Foamex Canada"), and
Foamex Latin America, Inc. The automotive textiles segment consists of the
operations of JPS Automotive L.P. ("JPS Automotive"). The home comfort products
segment consists of the operations of Perfect Fit Industries, Inc. ("Perfect
Fit"). The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed
consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto of the Company
included in this report.

   In October 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a plan to
evaluate the potential reduction of long-term debt with substantially all of the
proceeds from the possible sale of the automotive carpet, trim and textile
businesses of JPS Automotive (which together comprise the automotive textiles
segment and substantially all of the assets of JPS Automotive) and the home
comfort products segment of Perfect Fit (which comprises substantially all of
the assets of Perfect Fit). The Company is continuing to evaluate the possible
sale of these business segments; however, no definitive commitment has been
reached. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully
sell these business segments or as to the price or terms of any sale. The
consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments
that might result from any sale.

   In October 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company also approved an
operational plan to improve the profitability of the Company's foam products
segment. The operational plan consists of (i) reducing layers of management
through organizational realignment, (ii) the consolidation of thirteen foam
production, fabrication or branch locations, (iii) implementing additional
procedures to reduce manufacturing costs, including process redesign to
eliminate non-value added operations, (iv) reducing selling, general and
administrative expenses through cost containment and (v) reducing inventory
levels through improved forecasting and the effect of the plant consolidations.
The operational plan and other actions are expected to result in estimated
annualized savings in excess of $50.0 million, with expected savings in 1996 of
approximately $30.0 million of which it is estimated that the Company realized
$4.4 million of savings under the operational plan during the first quarter of
1996. The consolidation of the thirteen foam production, fabrication or branch
locations (referred to above) and the closure of two manufacturing facilities in
the home comfort products segment are collectively referred to herein as the
restructuring plan. As of March 31, 1996, the Company has closed twelve
locations included in the restructuring plan and it is expected that the
restructuring plan will be substantially completed by year end. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to successfully implement the
foregoing.(1)

   The Company's automotive foam and automotive textiles 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, the Company's sales are sensitive to sales of new and existing homes,
changes in personal disposable income and seasonality. The Company typically
experiences two seasonally slow periods during each year, in early July and in
late December, due to scheduled plant shutdowns and holidays.

      conjunction with the discussion regarding forward-looking statements set
      forth on Page 5 of the Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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


13 Week Period Ended March 31, 1996 Compared to 13 Week Period Ended 
April 2, 1995

Consolidated Results of Operations

   Net sales for 1996 were $318.2 million as compared to $329.8 million in 1995.
The $11.6 million or 3.5% decrease in net sales was primarily due to a decrease
in automotive textiles segment net sales of $12.7 million associated with
reductions in the volume of automotive vehicles manufactured and the General
Motors Corp. parts supplier labor strike during the first quarter of 1996 offset
by an increase in net sales from the home comfort products segment. Net sales of
the foam products segment was fairly consistent for 1996 and 1995.

   Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for 1996 increased to 16.6% from
16.0% in 1995 primarily due to improved gross profit margins in the foam
products segment offset by reduced gross profit margins in the automotive
textiles and home comfort products segments as discussed below.

   Income from operations increased to $30.4 million for 1996 from $28.8 million
in 1995 primarily due to an increase in gross profit margins as discussed above
and a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses of $1.6 million
for 1996 as compared to 1995. The decrease in selling, general and
administrative expenses is associated with reductions in salary, traveling and
professional costs.

   Net income increased to $6.1 million or $0.24 per share for 1996 as compared
to $5.1 million or $0.19 per share in 1995. The increase is primarily due to (i)
the reasons cited above and (ii) a decrease in interest and debt issuance
expense of $0.7 million primarily due to favorable results from interest rate
swap agreements. The effective income tax rate was fairly consistent at 41.2%
for 1996 and 40.9% in 1995.

   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 and the closure of two manufacturing
facilities in the home comfort products segment, (iii) the potential reduction
of long-term debt with substantially all of the proceeds from the possible sale
of the automotive textiles and home comfort products segments, (iv) additional
raw material price increases, if any, by the Company's chemical suppliers and
(v) the Company's success in passing on to its customers selling price increases
to recover previous raw material cost increases.(1)

Foam Products Segment Results of Operations

   Net sales for 1996 were $218.1 million as compared to $218.2 million in 1995.
Carpet cushion net sales for 1996 decreased 6.5% to $63.5 million from $67.9
million in 1995 primarily due to reduced net sales volume of certain carpet
cushion products. Also, 1995 included net sales associated with a promotional
program that was not continued in 1996. Cushioning foam net sales for 1996
increased 7.5% to $81.5 million from $75.8 million in 1995 primarily due to the
April 1995 acquisition of a company which manufactures cushioning products,
increased net sales volume of bedding related products and increased selling
prices. Automotive foam net sales for 1996 decreased 4.6% to $56.0 million from
$58.7 million in 1995 primarily due to a reduction of automotive vehicle
production in 1996 as compared to 1995. Technical foam net sales for 1996
increased 8.2% to $17.1 million from $15.8 million in 1995 primarily due to
increased selling prices and increased net sales volume.

(1)       This paragraph contains forward-looking statements and should be read
          in conjunction with the discussion regarding forward-looking
          statements set forth on Page 5 of the Company's Annual Report on Form
          10-K.

        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


   Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 16.5% for 1996 from
15.0% in 1995 primarily due to selling price increases and improved material and
production efficiencies.

   Income from operations increased to $22.4 million for 1996 from $19.8 million
in 1995 primarily due to improved gross profit margins as discussed above offset
by an increase of $0.7 million in selling, general and administrative expenses
for 1996 as compared to 1995 primarily due to management realignment under the
operational plan.

Automotive Textiles Segment Results of Operations

   Net sales for 1996 decreased 14.5% to $74.9 million from $87.6 million in
1995 primarily due to reduced production of automobile and light truck builds in
1996 as compared to 1995 and the General Motors Corp. parts supplier labor
strike during the first quarter of 1996 which is estimated to have decreased net
sales by approximately $4.0 million. JPS Automotive's customers are
predominantly automotive original equipment manufacturers or other automotive
suppliers. As such, the sales of a substantial portion of JPS Automotive's
products are directly related to the overall level of passenger car and light
truck production in North America. The automotive industry is cyclical in nature
and is subject to changes in economic conditions. Consequently, a continued
reduction in consumer demand for vehicles will have a continued adverse impact
on JPS Automotive.

   Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 16.7% for 1996 from
18.0% in 1995 primarily due to under utilization of manufacturing capacities as
a result of reduced net sales volume.

   Income from operations for 1996 decreased 29.5% to $7.1 million from $10.1
million in 1995 primarily due to the reasons cited above. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased to $5.4 million for 1996 from $5.7 million in
1995; however, increased as a percentage of sales to 7.2% for 1996 from 6.5% in
1995. These changes were primarily due to the reduction in net sales volume.

Home Comfort Products Segment Results of Operations

   Net sales for 1996 increased 5.0% to $25.2 million from $24.0 million in 1995
primarily due to increased net sales volume of decorative bedding products.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 16.9% for 1996 from 17.8%
in 1995 primarily due to competitive pricing pressures in the retail industry.

   Income from operations increased to $1.2 million for 1996 from income of $0.8
million in 1995. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
net sales decreased to 12.0% during 1996 from 14.6% in 1995 primarily due to the
elimination of certain benefits for an officer who resigned in February 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   Liquidity

   The Company's operating cash requirements consist principally of working
capital requirements, scheduled payments of principal and interest on
outstanding indebtedness and capital expenditures of the operating subsidiaries.
The Company believes that cash flow from operating activities, cash on hand and
periodic borrowings under its subsidiaries' revolving credit agreements,
primarily Foamex L.P. and JPS Automotive, if necessary, will be adequate to meet
operating cash requirements. The ability to meet the operating cash requirements
of the operating subsidiaries could be impaired if Foamex L.P. or JPS Automotive
were to fail to comply with any of the covenants contained in the Foamex L.P.
credit facility (the "Foamex L.P. Credit Facility") or the JPS Automotive credit

        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


agreement (the "JPS Automotive Credit Agreement") and such noncompliance was not
cured by Foamex L.P. or JPS Automotive or waived by the lenders. Foamex L.P. and
JPS Automotive were in compliance with the covenants as of March 31, 1996 and
expects to be in compliance with the covenants for the foreseeable future. The
ability of Foamex L.P. and JPS Automotive to make distributions to the Company
is restricted by the terms of their respective financing agreements; therefore,
the Company is not expected to have access to the cash flow generated by these
operating subsidiaries for the foreseeable future.

   Cash and cash equivalents increased $5.2 million during 1996 to $11.4 million
at March 31, 1996 from $6.2 million at December 31, 1995 primarily due to
improved operating results offset by capital expenditures, scheduled debt
repayments and purchases of treasury stock. Working capital increased $7.3
million during 1996 to $146.5 million at March 31, 1996 from $139.2 million at
December 31, 1995. The net operating assets and liabilities (comprised of
accounts receivable, inventories and accounts payable) increased $22.7 million
to $211.3 million at March 31, 1996 from $188.6 million at December 31, 1995
primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in accounts
payable. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to an increase in
net sales for March 1996 as compared to December 1995. In addition, accrued
interest increased approximately $15.2 million primarily due to an interest
payment due date in April 1996.

   Cash Flow from Operating Activities

   Cash flow from operating activities was $16.0 million and $7.4 million for
1996 and 1995, respectively. Cash flow from operating activities increased for
1996 as compared to 1995 primarily due to the reduced use of cash by the
operating assets and liabilities.

   Cash Flow from Investing Activities

   During 1996, the Company spent approximately $5.2 million on capital
expenditures and expects to maintain spending for capital expenditures at this
level for the foreseeable future.

   During 1995, the Company made payments of approximately $1.1 million in
partial settlement of certain matters contained in the asset purchase agreement
in connection with the acquisition of JPS Automotive.

   Cash Flow from Financing Activities

   As of March 31, 1996, there were no outstanding revolving credit borrowings
under the Foamex L.P. Credit Facility and $0.9 million outstanding borrowings
under the JPS Automotive Credit Agreement with unused availability of
approximately $34.5 million and $24.1 million, respectively.

   Borrowings by Foamex Canada as of March 31, 1996 were $4.1 million under a
revolving credit agreement with unused availability of approximately $0.3
million.

   Cramerton Automotive Products L.P. ("Cramerton") finances its operations
through a $15.0 million revolving line of credit (the "Cramerton Credit
Facility"), which is recourse only to Cramerton, and expires in April 1997.
Availability under this revolving line of credit is subject to a borrowing
calculation and unused availability under this line of credit was $5.0 million
as of March 31, 1996.

   During 1996, the Company purchased 351,500 shares of its common stock for an
aggregate cost of $2.5 million under programs authorized by the Board of
Directors to purchase up to 3.0 million shares of the Company's common stock.

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


Interest Rate Swap Agreements

   The Company enters into interest rate swaps to lower funding costs and/or to
manage interest costs and exposure to changing interest rates. The Company 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 1998. 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 and variable
payments based on LIBOR with a floor of 4.75% per annum for the six months ended
in December 1995 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 1.89% per annum for the six months ended in June 1996,
LIBOR plus 1.83% per annum for the six months ended in December 1996 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 1996. 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 $0.8 million and $0.6 million for 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

   JPS Automotive has an interest rate swap agreement, as amended in May 1995,
for a notional amount of $150.0 million for five years. Under this swap
agreement, JPS Automotive has paid fixed payments at 6.04% on a notional amount
of $90.0 million and 7.0% on a notional amount of $60.0 million for the six
months ended in June 1995 and is obligated to make variable rate payments based
on LIBOR, capped at 8.5% per annum, on $150.0 million notional amount for the
remainder of the agreement in exchange for fixed payments at a rate of 6.89% per
annum by the swap partner payable semiannually in arrears. The swap partner has
the ability to terminate the swap agreement in December 1998. Interest expense
will be subject to fluctuations in LIBOR. JPS Automotive is exposed to credit
loss in the event of nonperformance by the swap partner; however, the occurrence
of this event is not anticipated. During 1996, the effect of the interest rate
swap described above was a favorable adjustment to interest expense of $0.4
million. During 1995, the interest rate swap increased interest expense by $0.1
million.

Environmental Matters

   The Company is subject to extensive and changing environmental laws and
regulations. Expenditures to date in connection with the Company'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 the Company in connection with
environmental matters as of March 31, 1996 was $8.7 million. In addition, as of
March 31, 1996, the Company has receivables of $1.1 million, net of $1.0 million
allowance relating to potential disagreements regarding the scope of the
indemnification, for indemnification of environmental liabilities from former
owners. Although it is possible that new information or future developments
could require the Company to reassess its potential exposure to all pending
environmental matters, including those described in the footnotes to the
Company'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 the
Company's operations, financial position, capital expenditures or competitive
position.

        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


   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 the Company's operations as a result of
inflation for the periods presented. In some circumstances, market conditions or
customer expectations may prevent the Company from increasing the price of its
products to offset the inflationary pressures that may increase its costs in the
future.
