              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.     CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

       Foamex  International  Inc. and  subsidiaries  (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 September 30, 1998, the condensed consolidated statements of
operations  for the quarterly 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 27, 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.

       During  September  1998,  management of the Company decided to change the
year-end  reporting  requirement  of the Company 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 the Company.  On November 3, 1998,  the 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 $23.9
million.

       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-3  for the  fiscal  year ended
December 28, 1997.

2.     RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

       The  Company  identified  certain  adjustments  to  accounts  receivable,
inventory  and other assets and  liabilities  during the fourth  quarter of 1998
that related to prior periods  including,  but not limited to, the third quarter
of 1998. As a result,  the Company has restated the accompanying  1998 condensed
consolidated  financial  statements to reflect  adjustments  that related to the
third quarter of 1998, as follows:

3.     CRAIN 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 were approximately $13.2 million.
Crain was a fully integrated manufacturer, fabricator and distributor of a broad
range of flexible polyurethane foam and foam products sold to a diverse customer
base,  principally  in the bedding,  carpet cushion and furniture  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.

       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 the 1997 fiscal year.

       Refinancing Associated with the GFI Transaction

       In connection  with GFI  Transaction  (as defined in Note 9), Foamex L.P.
borrowed $129.0 million under a new term loan agreement  which was  subsequently
assumed by Foam Funding LLC and borrowed $32.0 million under its credit facility
("Credit  Facility").  These funds were used to (i) repay  approximately  $125.1
million of existing  term loans under the Credit  Facility and accrued  interest
thereon of approximately $0.9 million,  (ii) deposit $4.8 million into an escrow
account in order to defease the 9 1/2% senior  secured notes due 2000 which were
redeemed  during June 1998,  (iii) repay $4.8  million of  indebtedness  owed to
General Felt Industries,  Inc. ("General Felt"),  (iv) fund the $20.0 million to
acquire the net assets of General Felt in  connection  with the GFI  Transaction
(see Note 9) and (v) pay fees and expenses of approximately $5.4 million.  Also,
Foamex L.P. amended the Credit Facility to increase 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. See Note 9 for further discussion of the GFI Transaction.

5.     LONG-TERM DEBT AND LONG-TERM DEBT - RELATED PARTY (continued)

       Foamex Carpet Revolving Credit

       Upon  consummation  of the GFI  Transaction  (see Note 9),  Foamex Carpet
Cushion,  Inc.  ("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.

       Foamex/GFI Note

       In  connection  with the GFI  Transaction,  Foamex L.P.  entered into the
$34.0 million Foamex/GFI Note to settle an existing intercompany note payable to
General  Felt (see Note 9).  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.

       During the quarterly  and year to date periods ended  September 30, 1998,
the Company incurred  interest  expense of  approximately  $0.6 million and $1.4
million, respectively.

       Note Payable to Foam Funding LLC

       In connection  with the asset purchase  agreement for the GFI Transaction
(see Note 9), the Company entered into a $70.2 million promissory note with Foam
Funding LLC.  The note bears  interest at a base rate plus 2.0% or at LIBOR plus
3.0%. The note is payable upon demand commencing in March 2000, and if no demand
is made, matures in February 2004.

       During the quarterly  and year to date periods ended  September 30, 1998,
the Company incurred  interest  expenses of approximately  $1.5 million and $3.6
million, respectively.

       Principal Payments

       Principal  payments on the Company'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 - $3.4 million; 1999 - $17.6 million; 2000 - $52.2 million; 2001 -
$17.3 million;  2002 - $17.7 million;  2003 - $159.1  million;  and thereafter -
$517.3 million.

6.       EARLY EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT

       In connection with the GFI Transaction (see Note 9), 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) for the year to date period
ended September 30, 1998. The extraordinary  loss, before income tax benefit, 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 a refinancing  plan, the Company 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 the
Company  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, before income tax benefit,
is comprised of approximately $0.4 million of premium payments and approximately
$0.6 million for the write-off of debt issuance costs.

7.     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 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 September 30, 1998,  the Company has accruals of  approximately  $4.5 million
for environmental  matters.  In addition,  as of September 30, 1998, the Company
has net receivables of approximately  $1.1 million  relating to  indemnification
for environmental liabilities.

       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.

       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 the  Company's  manufacturing
processes.  The Company  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.

       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 September 30, 1998,  the Company has
accruals of approximately $3.9 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 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.  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.

7.     ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS (continued)

       The  Company  has been  designated  as a  Potentially  Responsible  Party
("PRP") by the EPA with respect to nine sites with an estimated  total liability
to the  Company  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 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.

8.     LITIGATION

       As of November 16, 1998,  the Company 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
actions 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.  The Company
believes  that the number of suits may  increase.  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.  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.  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 the
Company's  litigation expenses to date pursuant to such  indemnification,  there
can  be  no  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 the Company'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
the Company's or Trace Holdings'  consolidated  financial position or results of
operations.  If the  Company's  assessment  of  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 (the "Court"),  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. A stipulation and order

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

8.     LITIGATION (continued)

consolidating  these six actions  under the  caption In re Foamex  International
Inc. Shareholders  Litigation  Consolidated 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 the Company's  stockholders in
connection  with  Trace  Holdings'  initial  proposal  to  acquire  all  of  the
outstanding shares of the Company's common stock (the "First Merger Agreement").
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 Shareholders  Litigation  entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding,  dated  June 25,  1998 to  settle  the  Shareholders  Litigation,
subject to, inter alia, execution of a definitive  Stipulation of Settlement and
approval by the Court following notice to the public 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
Shareholders  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 Shareholder Litigation filed an amended
class  action  complaint  against  the  Company,   Trace  Holdings  and  certain
individual  directors  of the  Company  alleging  that (i) they  breached  their
fiduciary  and  other  common  law  duties  purportedly  owed  to the  Company's
stockholders in connection with Trace Holding's  revised proposal to acquire all
of the  outstanding  shares of the  Company's  common stock (the "Second  Merger
Agreement"),  (ii) the  individual  defendants  violated  the  Delaware  Code in
approving the Second Merger  Agreement,  and (iii) Trace  Holdings  breached the
Stipulation of Settlement.

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

9.     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  (collectively,  the "GFI Transaction").
Prior to the  consummation  of these  transactions,  (i) Foamex L.P.  and Foamex
L.P.'s wholly owned  subsidiary,  General Felt,  entered into a supply agreement
and  an  administrative   services  agreement,   (ii)  Foamex  L.P.  repaid  its
outstanding indebtedness to General Felt with $4.8 million in cash and the $34.0
million  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,  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,  Foam Funding LLC,
and General Felt entered into an asset purchase  agreement (the "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. to the Company. Upon consummation of the transaction
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.  Foamex  Carpet will  conduct the carpet  cushion
business previously conducted by General Felt.

       No gain has been  recognized  on the GFI  Transaction.  The Company  will
continue to account  for these net assets  using the  carryover  basis of Foamex
L.P. The proceeds from 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  the  Company  leased-back  the
facility.  Accordingly,  the net effect  resulted  in a charge to  stockholders'
equity (deficit) of approximately $0.5 million.

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-3.

       The Company's  products are 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,
filtration, gasketing and sealing.

       On November 5, 1998,  Trace  Holdings,  Trace  Merger Sub,  Inc.  ("Trace
Merger Sub") and the Company entered into a Second Merger Agreement. Pursuant to
the terms of the Second Merger  Agreement,  Trace Merger Sub will be merged with
and into the Company (the "Merger") and each  outstanding  share of common stock
(except for shares owned by the Trace Holdings shareholders, shares owned by the
Company and shares  owned by the  stockholders  who  perfected  their  appraisal
rights in  accordance  with  Delaware  Law) will be converted  into the right to
receive  $12.00 in cash,  without  interest.  Also on  November  5, 1998,  Trace
Holdings terminated the First Merger Agreement among the parties by delivering a
Notice of Termination to the Company. Trace Holdings terminated the First Merger
Agreement  because  the  financing  condition  contained  in  the  First  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 Second  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 Second Merger  Agreement on terms and conditions  and in amounts  reasonably
satisfactory to Trace Holdings,  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 Second Merger  Agreement or the  consummation of the transactions
contemplated thereby.

       In April 1998, the Company's facility in Orlando,  Florida was damaged by
a fire.  The Company  recommenced  the  manufacturing  of Foam  Products in this
facility in mid-September  1998.  During this idle period,  the Company supplied
local customers from other facilities. The Company 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 the Company's financial position or operations.

       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  (collectively,  the "GFI Transaction").
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 a $38.8 million  intercompany note payable to General
Felt with $4.8 million in cash and the $34.0 million  Foamex/GFI  Note supported
by a $34.5 million letter of credit under the Foamex L.P. Credit  Facility.  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,  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,  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 by a distribution by

         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Foamex L.P. to the Company. Upon consummation of the transaction 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.  Foamex  Carpet will
conduct the carpet cushion business previously conducted by General Felt.

       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).  In
addition,   fees  and  expenses  associated  with  the  Crain  Acquisition  were
approximately $13.2 million.

       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 and $35.1 million for the quarterly and year to date
periods ended September 28, 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)
variability  of the  Company's  raw  material  costs by the  Company's  chemical
suppliers and (iv) 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 $332.5  million as compared
to $233.4  million in the third quarter of 1997, an increase of $99.1 million or
42.4%. Foam Products net sales for the third quarter of 1998 increased to $157.0
million from $89.8  million in the third  quarter of 1997  primarily  due to net
sales from the Crain Acquisition, which occurred in December 1997, and increased
volume from national bedding customers and fabricators.  Carpet Cushion Products
net sales for the third  quarter of 1998  increased  14.1% to $82.1 million from
$72.0  million  in the  third  quarter  of  1997  primarily  due  to  the  Crain
Acquisition  offset by the sale of Dalton in October 1997.  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 General  Motor  labor  disputes.  This
extraordinary  high  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 15.4% for the
third quarter of 1998 from 16.3% in the third  quarter of 1997  primarily due to
(i) a $2.2 million  increase in cost of goods sold for the Company's  operations
in Mexico;  (ii) operating  inefficiencies  and logistics  costs of $2.5 million
associated  with the sales of juvenile and other consumer  products sold through
mass  merchandisers  and discount  stores;  and (iii) a 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 the Company's historical gross profit margins.

       Income from  operations  increased to $27.3 million for the third quarter
of 1998 from $22.3 million in the third quarter of 1997. The increase  primarily
reflected  the impact of the Crain  Acquisition,  partially  offset by the items
discussed above.

       Income before  extraordinary loss decreased to $3.4 million for the third
quarter of 1998 as compared to $6.5 million for the third quarter of 1997.  This
$3.1 million decrease is primarily due to the increase in income from operations
of $5.0 million discussed above offset by (i) an increase of approximately  $6.3
million in interest and debt issuance expense, (ii) an increase in other expense
of $3.5  million,  and (iii) a decrease in  provision  for income  taxes of $1.7
million.  The increase in other  expense is due primarily to (i) $1.1 million of
foreign  currency  losses in  Mexico  and  Canada,  (ii)  $1.1  million  in fees
associated  with  financial and legal advisors used by the Company in connection
with the proposed Merger, and (iii) a $1.0 million reduction in the value of the
Company's  investment in

the Trace Global  Opportunities Fund. 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.

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
$943.3  million as compared to $702.4  million for the year to date period ended
September  28, 1997, an increase of $240.8  million or 34.3%.  Foam Products net
sales for the year to date period ended  September 30, 1998  increased  76.0% to
$457.0 million from $259.7  million for the year to date period ended  September
28,  1997  primarily  due to the net  sales  from the Crain  Acquisition,  which
occurred in December 1997 and increased volume from national  bedding  customers
and  fabricators.  Carpet Cushion Products net sales for the year to date period
ended  September 30, 1998  increased  5.1% to $225.9 million from $214.9 million
for the year to date period ended  September 28, 1997 primarily due to net sales
from the Crain  Acquisition  offset by (i) the sale of Dalton in  October  1997,
(ii)  reductions in rebond selling prices as compared to 1997, and (iii) changes
in product mix.  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
of laminated products.  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 16.5% 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 (i) a $2.2 million increase in cost of
goods  sold  recorded  during  the  third  quarter  of 1998  for  the  Company's
operations in Mexico; (ii) operating  inefficiencies and logistics costs of $2.5
million  recorded  during the third quarter of 1998 associated with the sales of
juvenile  and other  consumer  products  sold  through  mass  merchandisers  and
discount stores;  and (iii) 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 the Company's
historical  gross  profit  margins.  The 1998 gross profit  percentage  was also
impacted by the Company carrying the full operating costs of both organizations.
The  implementation  of  restructuring/consolidation  programs  were a favorable
factor.

       Income from  operations  increased to $87.7  million for the year to date
period ended  September  30, 1998 from $77.8  million in the year to date period
ended  September 28, 1997.  The increase  primarily  reflected the impact of the
Crain Acquisition, partially offset by the items discussed above.

       Income before  extraordinary loss decreased to $17.7 million for the year
to date period  ended  September  30, 1998 as compared to $24.1  million for the
year to date period ended  September 28, 1997.  The decrease is primarily due to
an increase in income from operations of $9.9 million  discussed above offset by
(i) an increase of  approximately  $13.7  million in interest and debt  issuance
expense, (ii) an increase in other expense of $6.4 million; and (iii) a decrease
in provision for income taxes of $3.7 million.  The increase in other expense is
due primarily to (i) $2.0 million of costs  associated with the GFI Transaction,
(ii) $0.9 million of foreign  currency  losses in Mexico and Canada,  (iii) $1.1
million in fees associated with financial and legal advisors used by the Company
in connection with the proposed Merger, and (iv) a $1.0 million reduction in the
value of the Company's  investment in the Trace Global  Opportunities  Fund. 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.

requirements of the Company consist primarily of the operating cash requirements
of its two principal subsidiaries.

       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  September  30,  1998 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,  scheduled  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.  Foamex  Carpet  was in  compliance  with the
covenants in the Foamex Carpet Credit  Facility as of September 30, 1998 and 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  decreased  $2.0 million  during 1998 to $10.0
million at September 30, 1998 from $12.0 million at December 28, 1997  primarily
due to cash used for capital expenditures, the Crain Acquisition and an increase
of cash used by the operating  assets and  liabilities (as defined below) offset
by increased borrowings.  Working capital increased $60.8 million during 1998 to
$199.3  million at September  30, 1998 from $138.5  million at December 28, 1997
primarily due to an increase in net operating  assets of $44.1 million and a net
increase in other  current  assets and  liabilities  of $16.3  million.  The net
increase in other current assets and  liabilities is primarily  associated  with
the timing of payments for interest,  prepaid  expenses and accrued  liabilities
and the receipt of cash for other  receivables.  The  increase in net  operating
assets (comprised of accounts  receivable,  inventories and accounts payable) of
$60.8  million  during 1998 to $208.4  million at September 30, 1998 from $164.3
million  at  December  28,  1997 was  primarily  due to  increases  in  accounts
receivable and inventories  aggregating $39.7 million and a decrease in accounts
payable of $4.3 million. The increase in accounts receivable is primarily due to
an increase in net sales for September  1998 as compared to December  1997.  The
increase in inventories is primarily due to increased purchases of raw materials
associated with potential price  increases.  The decrease in accounts payable 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  $73.1 million.  As of September 30,
1998,  Foamex Carpet Credit Facility had unused  availability  of  approximately
$19.2  million.  Borrowings  by Foamex Canada Inc. as of September 30, 1998 were
$3.6 million under Foamex Canada Inc.'s  revolving  credit agreement with unused
availability of approximately $1.7 million.

       Cash flow used for operating activities was $17.7 million for the year to
date period ended  September  30, 1998 as compared to cash used of $12.2 million
for the year to date period ended September 28, 1997. This

         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

decrease  is  primarily  due to changes  in the  components  of working  capital
primarily  related to (i) cash used for the increase in accounts  receivable and
other receivables associated with the timing of receipts and (ii) a reduction in
accounts payable associated with the timing of payments.

       Cash flow used for  investing  activities  increased to $26.7 million for
the year to date period ended September 30, 1998 from cash used of $21.7 million
for the year to date  period  ended  September  28, 1997  primarily  due to $4.4
million paid in 1998 in connection  with the Crain  Acquisition  offset by (i) a
decrease in  restricted  cash in 1997 of $12.1  million used to repay  long-term
debt and (ii) cash paid in connection with a loan to shareholder of $5.0 million
in 1997.

       Cash flow provided by financing activities increased to $42.4 million for
the year to date period ended September 30, 1998 as compared to cash provided of
$13.6  million for the year to date period ended  September  28,  1997.  This is
primarily  associated  with  increased  borrowings  in 1998 under the  revolving
credit  facility to fund working  capital  needs of the Company,  including  the
operations of Crain  acquired in December  1997,  and $28.7 million used to fund
the GFI 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  Company's
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 groups  own a greater  percentage  of common  stock than Trace
Holdings.  Trace Holdings has informed the Company 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 received.  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  Company's  common  stock owned by Trace  Holdings,  such event could
trigger the acceleration and put rights  described  above.  Although  management
believes that its debt obligations would be refinanced by the Company under such
circumstances,  there can be no assurance  that the Company or its  subsidiaries
would  be able  to do so.  Trace  Holdings  has  informed  the  Company  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,  the Company sold its  existing  interest  rate swap
agreement for a net gain of approximately  $1.0 million which is being amortized
over the life of the debt.

       The effect of the Company's  interest rate swap agreements were decreases
in 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

       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 September 30, 1998 was $4.5 million. In addition, as
of September 30, 1998,  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,

                                       20

<PAGE>
ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

including  those   described  in  the  footnotes  to  the  Company's   condensed
consolidated  financial  statements,  the Company  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.  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'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, 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.

Year 2000 Compliance

       The  Company  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.

       The  Company  is in the  process  of the  remediation  of their  business
information  computer  systems.  The  Company  is  also  in the  process  of the
conversion  of the former  Crain  systems  to the  Company'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 the Company 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 the  Company's  Year 2000
business systems requirements.

       The Company has a Year 2000 Executive  Sponsor Team with  representatives
of the Company.  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  the  Company.  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 the Company 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 the
Company  will be Year 2000  ready in the last half of 1999.  While the  Steering
Committee is communicating readiness to third party customers, as requested,

                                       21

<PAGE>

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

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,  the  Company  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  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,  the  Company  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. The Company adopted SFAS No. 130 during the first
quarter of 1998 (see Note 11).

       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 the year ended 1998 reporting.  The Company is evaluating
the impact, if any, the standard will have on its 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.  The Company  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.
