Part III-Narrative
______________________________________________________________________________
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q,
N-SAR or the transition report or portion thereof could not be filed within the
prescribed time period.
On March 16, 1998, Trace International Holdings, Inc. ("Trace")
offered to purchase all of the shares of Foamex International's common stock not
otherwise owned by Trace or its subsidiaries (the "Trace Offer"). In connection
with the Trace Offer, Trace and Foamex International signed an Agreement and
Plan of Merger, dated June 25, 1998 (the "Merger Agreement"), and Foamex
International is currently preparing a Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A in
connection with a shareholder meeting at which Foamex International shall seek
the approval of its shareholders with respect to the Merger Agreement. The Trace
Offer, the signing of the Merger Agreement, the preparation of various financing
documents related to the financing of the merger and the transactions
contemplated therein and the preparation of the Proxy Statement have required a
substantial time commitment from the employees of Foamex International and its
subsidiaries. Due to the time spent by such employees working on these
transactions, the registrant's Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 28,
1998 could not be filed within the prescribed time period without unreasonable
effort or expense.
