1. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Foamex International Inc.'s (the "Company") 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 March
29, 1998, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the thirteen
week periods ended March 29, 1998 and March 30, 1997 and the condensed
consolidated statements of cash flows for the thirteen week periods ended March
29, 1998 and March 30, 1997 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.
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 1997 consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto as set forth in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 28, 1997.
2. ACQUISITION
On December 23, 1997, the Company 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 (with an estimated fair value of approximately
$112.3 million ("Crain Acquisition"). In addition, fees and expenses associated
with the Crain Acquisition are approximately $13.2 million. The Crain
Acquisition provided a fully integrated manufacturer, fabricator and distributor
of a broad range of flexible polyurethane foam and foam products which are sold
to a diverse customer base, principally in the furniture, bedding and carpet
cushion markets. The acquisition was funded by $118.0 million in bank borrowings
by Foamex L.P. under a credit facility. The excess of the purchase price over
the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired was approximately $152.5
million. In connection with the Crain Acquisition, the Company approved a plan
to close certain facilities. As of the acquisition date, the Company established
accruals of approximately $1.5 million of severance and related costs and $8.5
million for costs associated with the shut down and consolidation of certain
acquired facilities in connection with purchase price accounting.
The Crain Acquisitions was accounted for as a purchase and the operations
of the Crain are included in the consolidated statements of operations and cash
flows from its respective 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.

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 Trace Foam 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 redeem the Senior Secured Notes in
June 1998, (iii) repay $24.8 million on the note payable to Trace Foam LLC

and (iv) 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.
Note Payable to Trace Foam LLC
In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement for the General Felt
transaction (see Note 8), the Company entered into a $70.2 million promissory
note with Trace Foam LLC. The note bears interest at a base rate plus 2.0% or at
LIBOR plus 3.0%. The note matures February 2004.
Principal Payments
Principal payments on Foamex L.P.'s long-term debt for the remainder of
1998 and for the next five years are as follows: 1998 - $9.8 million; 1999 -
$17.7 million; 2000 - $56.8 million; 2001 - $17.3 million; 2002 - $17.7 million;
and thereafter - $663.6 million.
5. EARLY EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT
In connection with the GFI Transaction (see Note 8), the Company incurred
an extraordinary loss on the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.9
million (net of income tax benefits of $1.2 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.
6. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Company 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 thirteen weeks ended March 29, 1998,
expenditures in connection with the Company's compliance with federal, state,
local and foreign environmental laws and regulations did not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's operations, financial position, capital
expenditures or competitive position. As of March 29, 1998, the Company has
environmental accruals of approximately $4.9 million for environmental matters.
In addition, as of March 29, 1998, the Company has net receivables of
approximately $1.1 million relating to indemnification for environmental
liabilities. The Company believes that realization of the net 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, the Company cannot
accurately predict the actual cost of their implementation. The Company does not
believe implementation of the regulations will require it to make material
expenditures at facilities owned prior to December 23, 1997, due to the
Company'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.
8
<PAGE>
6. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS (continued)
The Company 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. 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. The
actual cost and the timetable of any such remediation cannot be predicted with
any degree of certainty at this time. As of March 29, 1998, the Company has
environmental accruals of approximately $4.3 million for the remaining potential
remediation costs for these facilities based on engineering 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. The Company has six 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. The
Company has accrued $0.1 million for the estimated removal and remediation, if
any, associated with these USTs. 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 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.
The Company has been designated as a Potentially Responsible Party ("PRP")
by the EPA with respect to thirteen sites with an estimated total liability to
the Company for the thirteen 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 the Company is considered to
be immaterial.
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, 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 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.
7. LITIGATION
As of May 15, 1998, the Company and 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 which allege substantial damages, but most of
which 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.
During 1995, the Company and Trace Holdings were granted summary judgments and
dismissed as defendants from all cases in the federal courts of the United
States and the state courts of California. Appeals for these decisions were
withdrawn and the decisions are final. In addition, two of the cases filed on
behalf of 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. The Company 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 the
Company or Trace Holdings. Neither the Company 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, and without taking into
account potential indemnity from
9
<PAGE>
7. LITIGATION (continued)
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
the Company's or Trace Holdings' consolidated financial position or results of
operations. In addition, the Company is also indemnified by Trace Holdings for
any such liabilities relating to foam manufactured prior to October 1990.
Although Trace Holdings has paid the Company's litigation expenses to date
pursuant to such indemnification and management believes Trace Holdings likely
will be in a position to continue to pay such expenses, there can be no absolute
assurance that Trace Holdings will be able to provide such indemnification.
Based on information available at this time with respect to the potential
liability, and without taking into account the indemnification provided by Trace
Holdings and the coverage provided by Trace Holdings' and the Company'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 the Company's liability with respect to these actions is
incorrect, such actions could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
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. The Company 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.
On or about March 17, 1998, five purported class action lawsuits were filed
in the Delaware Chancery Court, New Castle County, against the Company,
directors of the Company, 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. The complaints in the six actions allege, among
other things, that the defendants have violated fiduciary and other common law
duties purportedly owed to the Company's stockholders in connection with Trace
Holdings proposal to acquire all of the shares of the Company's common stock.
The complaints seek, among other things, class certification, a declaration that
the defendants have breached their fiduciary duties to the class, preliminary
and permanent injunctions baring implementation of the proposed transaction,
rescission of the transaction if consummated, unspecified compensatory damages,
and costs and attorneys' fees.
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.

8. GFI TRANSACTION
On February 27, 1998, the Company and certain of its affiliates completed a
series of transactions designed to simplify the Company's structure and to
provide future operational flexibility. Prior to the consummation of these
transactions, the Company defeased the $4.5 million outstanding principal amount
of its 9 1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2000. Foamex L.P. settled its
intercompany payables to General Felt with $4.8 million in cash and a $34.0
million principal amount promissory note supported by a $34.5 million letter of
credit under the Credit Facility (the "Foamex/GFI Note"). The initial
transaction resulted in the transfer from Foamex L.P. to Trace Foam LLC of all
of the outstanding common stock of General Felt, in exchange for (i) the
assumption by Trace Foam LLC of $129.0 million of Foamex L.P.'s indebtedness and
(ii) the transfer by Trace Foam 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 Subordinated
Notes due 2005. Upon consummation of the initial transaction, Foamex Carpet, a
newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Company, Trace Foam
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 Trace Foam LLC in the amount of $70.2 million.
The $20.0 million cash payment was funded with a distribution by Foamex L.P.
Upon consummation of these transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase
Agreement, Foamex Carpet entered into a Credit Agreement with the institutions
from time to time party thereto, as issuing banks, and Citicorp USA, Inc. and
The Bank of Nova Scotia, as administrative agents, which provides for up to
$20.0 million in revolving credit borrowings. These transactions were accounted
for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests since the entities were under
common control. Foamex Carpet will conduct the carpet cushion business
previously conducted by General Felt. Also, Trace Foam 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.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company operates primarily 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 the Company 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 pages 4 and 5 of the Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.
During 1997, the Company's products were utilized primarily in five
end-markets; (i) carpet cushion and other carpet products, (ii) cushioning
foams, including bedding products, (iii) furniture products for furniture
manufacturers and distributors, (iv) automotive applications, including trim and
accessories, and (v) specialty and technical applications, including those for
filtration, gasketing and sealing. As a result of the Crain Acquisition, the
Company has added a sixth end market: consumer products.
On March 16, 1998, the Company announced that its Board of Directors
received an unsolicited buyout proposal from Trace Holdings, the Company's
principal stockholder. Trace Holdings proposed to acquire all of the outstanding
common stock of the Company not currently owned by Trace Holdings and its
subsidiaries for a cash price of $17.00 per share. Also, Trace Holdings informed
the Board of Directors that financing for the buyout transaction would be
arranged through Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation and The
Bank of Nova Scotia/Scotia Capital Markets. As of March 16, 1998, Trace Holdings
and its subsidiaries beneficially owned approximately 11,475,000 shares or
approximately 46% of the outstanding common stock of the Company. In response to
Trace Holding's offer, the Company's Board of Directors has appointed a special
committee to determine the advisability and fairness of the proposed buyout to
the Company's stockholders other than Trace Holdings and its subsidiaries. Trace
Holding's proposed buyout is subject to a number of conditions, including the
negotiations of definitive documents (which are expected to contain customary
closing conditions); the filing of a disclosure statement and other documents
with the Securities and Exchange Commission; regulatory filings; and approval of
the transaction by a majority of the Company's stockholders.
On February 27, 1998, the Company and certain of its affiliates completed a
series of transactions designed to simplify the Company's structure and to
provide future operational flexibility. Prior to the consummation of these
transactions, the Company defeased the $4.5 million outstanding principal amount
of its 9 1/2% senior secured notes due 2000. Foamex L.P. settled its
intercompany payables to General Felt with $4.8 million in cash and a $34.0
million principal amount promissory note supported by a $34.5 million letter of
credit under the Foamex L.P. credit facility (the "Foamex/GFI Note"). The
initial transaction resulted in the transfer from Foamex L.P. to Trace Foam LLC
of all of the outstanding common stock of General Felt, in exchange for (i) the
assumption by Trace Foam LLC of $129.0 million of Foamex L.P.'s indebtedness and
(ii) the transfer by Trace Foam 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 subordinated
notes due 2005. Upon consummation of the initial transaction, Foamex Carpet, a
newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Company, Trace Foam
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 Trace Foam LLC in the amount of $70.2 million.
The $20.0 million cash payment was funded by a distribution by Foamex L.P. Upon
consummation of these transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement,
Foamex Carpet entered into a credit agreement with the institutions from time to
time party thereto, as issuing banks, and Citicorp USA, Inc. and The Bank of
Nova Scotia, as administrative agents, which provides for up to $20.0 million in
revolving credit borrowings. These transactions were accounted for in a manner
similar to a pooling of interests since the entities were under common control.
Foamex Carpet will conduct the carpet cushion business previously conducted by
General Felt. Also, Trace Foam 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.
On December 23, 1997, the Company acquired 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) (the
"Crain

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Acquisition"). In addition, fees and expenses associated with the Crain
Acquisition are approximately $13.2 million. In connection with the Crain
Acquisition, the Company approved a restructuring/consolidation plan for the two
entities. The Company recorded restructuring charges of $21.1 million relating
to the restructuring of the Company's operations in connection with the Crain
Acquisition and related transactions. In addition, the Company recorded
approximately $1.5 million of severance and related costs and $8.5 million for
costs associated with the shut down and consolidation of certain acquired
facilities.
On October 6, 1997, the Company sold substantially all of the net assets of
its needlepunch carpeting, tufted carpeting and artificial grass products
business located at its facilities in Dalton, Georgia ("Dalton"). Dalton's
revenues were $10.7 million for the thirteen week period ended March 30, 1997.
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 the Company's profitability, (iii)
additional raw material cost increases, if any, by the Company's chemical
suppliers, (iv) the Company's success in passing on to its customers selling
price increases to recover such raw material cost increases and (v) fluctuations
in interest rates.
13 Week Period Ended March 29, 1998 Compared to 13 Week Period Ended March 30,
1997
Results of Operations
Net sales for the first quarter of 1998 were $313.8 million as compared to
$229.1 million in the first quarter of 1997, an increase of $84.7 million or
37.0%. Carpet cushion products net sales for the first quarter of 1998 increased
3.8% to $70.5 million from $67.9 million in the first quarter of 1997 primarily
due to net sales from the Crain operations offset by the sale of Dalton in
October which contributed net sales of $10.7 million in 1997 and reduction of
rebond selling prices as compared to 1997 and product mix. Rebond selling prices
were approximately 12.0% lower in the first quarter of 1998 versus 1997.
Cushioning products net sales for the first quarter of 1998 increased 86.3% to
$97.8 million from $52.5 million in the first quarter of 1997 primarily due to
net sales from the Crain operations and increased volume to our national bedding
customers and fabricators. Furniture products net sales for the first quarter of
1998 increased 36.8% to $43.1 million as compared to net sales of $31.5 million
for the first quarter of 1997 primarily due to net sales from the Crain
operations. Automotive products net sales for the first quarter of 1998
increased 10.0% to $65.7 million from $59.7 million in the first quarter of 1997
primarily due to increased volume. Technical products net sales for the first
quarter of 1998 increased 20.6% to $21.1 million from $17.5 million in the first
quarter of 1997 primarily due to increased net sales volume for felted,
gasketing, and sealing products. Consumer products net sales for the first
quarter of 1998 was $156.9 million. The consumer products category was acquired
in the December 1997 Crain Acquisition.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 16.3% for the first
quarter of 1998 from 18.7% in the first quarter of 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 versus the Company's historical gross profit margins.
Also, the gross profit was lower in the first quarter of 1998 since the Company
carried the full start-up costs related to both organizations.
Income from operations increased to $28.1 million for the first quarter of
1998 from $26.8 million in the first quarter of 1997 primarily due the Crain
Acquisition. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is
primarily due the Crain Acquisition.
Income before extraordinary loss decreased to $6.2 million for the first
quarter of 1998 as compared to $8.1 million for the first quarter of 1997. The
decrease is primarily due to an increase in interest and debt issuance expense.
The increase in interest and debt issuance expense is primarily due to the debt
incurred in connection with the Crain Acquisition offset by the favorable
effects of the June 1997 refinancing plan.
13

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The extraordinary loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately
$1.9 million during the first quarter of 1998 primarily relates to the write-off
of debt issuance costs associated with the GFI Transaction.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company is a holding company whose operations, as a result of the
February 27, 1998 transactions, are conducted through two wholly-owed
subsidiaries, Foamex L.P. and Foamex Carpet. The liquidity requirements of the
Company consist primarily of the operating cash requirements of its two
principal subsidiaries. Prior to February 27, 1998, substantially all of the
Company's operations were conducted through Foamex L.P., which at the time was a
99% owned subsidiary, hence the discussion of historical trends of liquidity and
capital resources related primarily to Foamex L.P.
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. The Company believes that
cash flow from Foamex L.P.'s operating activities, cash on hand and periodic
borrowings under the Credit Facility, if necessary, will be adequate to meet
Foamex L.P.'s liquidity requirements. The ability to meet such liquidity
requirements could be impaired if Foamex L.P. were to fail to comply with any
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 December 28, 1997 and the Company expects
Foamex L.P. to be in compliance with such covenants for the foreseeable future.
The ability of Foamex L.P. to make distributions to the Company is restricted by
the terms of its financing agreements; therefore, neither the Company nor Foamex
Carpet is expected to have access to the cash flow generated by Foamex L.P. for
the foreseeable future.
Foamex Carpet's operating cash requirements consist principally of working
capital requirements, schedule payments of principal and interest on outstanding
indebtedness and capital expenditures. The Company believes that cash flow from
Foamex Carpet's operating activities, cash on hand and periodic borrowings under
Foamex Carpet's credit facility (the "Foamex Carpet Credit Facility"), if
necessary, will be adequate to meet Foamex Carpet's liquidity requirements. The
ability to meet such liquidity requirements could be impaired if Foamex Carpet
were to fail to comply with any covenants contained in the Foamex Carpet Credit
Facility and such noncompliance was not cured by Foamex Carpet or waived by the
lenders. The Company expects Foamex Carpet to be in compliance with such
covenants for the foreseeable future. The ability of Foamex Carpet to make
distributions to the Company is restricted by the terms of its financing
agreements; therefore, neither the Company nor Foamex L.P. is expected to have
access to the cash flow generated by Foamex Carpet for the foreseeable future.
Cash and cash equivalents increased $49.0 million during 1998 to $16.9
million at March 29, 1998 from $12.0 million at December 28, 1997 primarily due
to increased borrowings offset by cash used by operating assets and liabilities.
Working capital increased $61.0 million during 1998 to $199.5 million at March
29, 1998 from $138.5 million at December 28, 19978 primarily due to the increase
in operating net assets. Net operating assets and liabilities (comprised of
accounts receivable, inventories and accounts payable) increased $28.2 million
during 1998 to $192.5 million at March 29, 1998 from $164.3 million at December
28, 1997 primarily due to increases in accounts receivable and inventories and a
decrease in accounts payable. The Company's restructuring/consolidation plan
includes accruals of approximately $26.9 million of cash charges of which $15.6
million is expected to be paid during 1998.
As of March 29, 1998, there were $124.9 million of revolving credit
borrowings under the Credit Facility with unused availability of approximately
$25.6 million which includes approximately $49.5 million associated with letters
of credit outstanding which are supported by the Credit Facility. As of March
29, 1998, Foamex Carpet credit facility had used availability of approximately
$19.0 million. Borrowings by Foamex Canada, Inc. as of March 29, 1998 were $5.1
million under Foamex Canada Inc.'s revolving credit agreement with unused
availability of approximately $0.9 million.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Interest Rate Swaps
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.
On January 8, 1998, the Company entered into an amended interest rate swap
agreement which provides for an interest rate swap agreement with a notional
amount of $150.0 million through June 2002. Under this agreement, the Company is
obligated to make fixed payments of 5.78% per annum through December 1998 and
variable payments based on LIBOR at the beginning of each six month period for
the remainder of the agreement, in exchange for fixed payments by the swap
partner at 6.44% per annum for the life of the agreement, payable semiannually
in arrears. The newly amended interest rate swap agreement can be terminated by
the swap partner at the end of each six month period commencing December 1999.
The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of a nonperformance by
the swap partner; however, the occurrence of this event is not anticipated. The
effect of interest rate swaps was a favorable adjustment to interest and debt
issuance expense of $0.3 million and $0.9 million for the thirteen week periods
ended March 29, 1998 and March 30, 1997, respectively.
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 29, 1998 was $4.9 million. In addition, as of
December 28, 1997, the Company has net receivables of approximately $1.1 million
for indemnification of environmental liabilities from former owners, net of
approximately $1.0 million allowance relating to potential disagreements
regarding the scope of the indemnification. 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 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.
Inflation and Other Matters
There was no significant impact on the Company's operations as a result of
inflation during the periods presented. See "Results of Operations" for a
discussion of the impact of raw material price increases. 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.
The Company has and will continue to make certain investments in its
software systems and applications to ensure the Company is Year 2000 compliant.
The Company plans to continue to make modifications to the identified software
during 1998 and test the changes during 1998. The financial impact to the
Company has not been and is not anticipated to be material to its financial
position or results of operation in any given year.
The Company'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.

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. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 130 for 1998.
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. The Company will
adopt SFAS No. 131 for year ended 1998 reporting. Management is evaluating the
impact, if any, the standard will have on the Company's present segment
reporting.
