                   FOAMEX INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

1.   ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation

     The condensed consolidated  financial statements are unaudited,  but in the
opinion  of  management  include  all  adjustments,  consisting  only of  normal
recurring  adjustments,  necessary to present fairly Foamex International Inc.'s
(the  "Company")  financial  position and results of  operations.  These interim
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and related notes  included in the 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Results for
interim  periods are not  necessarily  indicative  of trends or of results for a
full year.

Change in Control

     Trace International  Holdings,  Inc. ("Trace") is a privately held company,
which owned  approximately 29% of the Company's  outstanding voting common stock
at July 31,  2000,  and whose  former  Chairman  also  serves  as the  Company's
Chairman.  The  Company's  common stock owned by Trace is pledged as  collateral
against certain of Trace's obligations. Certain credit agreements and promissory
notes of the  Company's  subsidiaries,  pursuant to which  approximately  $453.3
million of  principal  was  outstanding  as of June 30,  2000,  provides  that a
"change  of  control"  would be an event of  default  and  could  result  in the
acceleration of such indebtedness.  "Change of control" means, for this purpose,
that (i) a person or related  group,  other than Trace,  beneficially  owns more
than 25% of the  Company's  outstanding  voting stock and (ii) such voting stock
constitutes  a  greater   percentage  of  such  voting  stock  than  the  amount
beneficially owned by Trace. Additionally, certain indentures of Foamex L.P. and
Foamex Capital  Corporation  ("FCC")  relating to senior  subordinated  notes of
$248.0 million  contain similar  "change of control"  provisions,  which require
Foamex L.P. and FCC to tender for such notes at a price in cash equal to 101% of
the  aggregate  principal  amount  thereof,  plus  accrued  and unpaid  interest
thereon, if there is such a "change of control".

     On July 21,  1999,  the  Company  was  informed  by  Trace  that it filed a
petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy  Code in Federal Court in
New York City. Subsequently, on January 24, 2000, an order was signed converting
the Trace  bankruptcy  from  Chapter 11 to Chapter 7 of the  Bankruptcy  Code. A
trustee was  appointed to oversee the  liquidation  of Trace's  assets.  Neither
Trace's  bankruptcy filing nor the conversion to Chapter 7 constituted a "change
of control"  under the  provisions of the debt  agreements  described  above.  A
"change of control" could take place however, if the bankruptcy court allows the
Trace creditors to foreclose on and take ownership of the Company's common stock
owned by Trace,  or  otherwise  authorizes  a sale or transfer of these  shares,
under  circumstances  in which a person or  related  group,  other  than  Trace,
acquired  more than 25% of the  Company's  outstanding  voting stock and owned a
greater  percentage of such voting stock than the amount  beneficially  owned by
Trace.

     On July  31,  2000,  the  Company  announced  that it had  entered  into an
agreement (the "Exchange  Agreement") with The Bank of Nova Scotia relating to a
portion of the 7,197,426  shares of the Company's  common stock pledged by Trace
to The Bank of Nova Scotia.  The Exchange Agreement provides for the transfer of
the  pledged  stock  to The  Bank of Nova  Scotia  in a  manner  that  will  not
constitute  a "change  of  control"  as  described  above.  Under  the  Exchange
Agreement,  The Bank of Nova Scotia will initially  receive  1,500,000 shares of
the Company's common stock from the Trace  bankruptcy  estate and exchange these
common stock shares for 15,000 shares of a new class of the Company's non-voting
non-redeemable  convertible  preferred  stock (the "Series B Preferred  Stock").
Each share of the Series B Preferred  Stock can be converted  into 100 shares of
the Company's  common stock;  but, only if such  conversion  would not trigger a
"change of control"  event,  as discussed  above.  The Series B Preferred  Stock
would be entitled to dividends  only if a dividend is declared on the  Company's
common stock,  rank senior to any future  preferred  stock issued by the Company
and be entitled to a liquidation  preference of $100 per share.  Following  this
exchange,  The Bank of Nova Scotia will become the owner of less than 25% of the
outstanding  shares of the Company's  common stock when the remaining  5,697,426
shares of the Company's  common stock are transferred to The Bank of Nova Scotia
from the Trace bankruptcy estate.

     These transactions are conditioned upon a settlement  agreement between The
Bank of Nova Scotia and the trustee for the Trace  bankruptcy  being approved by
the  bankruptcy  court.  Upon  completion of these  transactions,  Trace will no
longer own any shares of the Company's common stock.

1.   ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

     Management  believes  that it is unlikely  that a "change of control"  will
occur as a result of Trace's bankruptcy proceedings particularly in light of the
Exchange Agreement.  However,  if the transactions  contemplated by the Exchange
Agreement are not consummated, the Company would seek to resolve the issues that
may arise should the "change of control" provisions be triggered,  by requesting
waivers of such provisions and/or refinancing certain debt, if necessary.  There
can be no assurance that the Company or its subsidiaries  will be able to do so,
or that the  Company  will be able to obtain  waivers of such  provisions.  Such
circumstances  would  raise  substantial  doubt about the  Company's  ability to
continue as a going  concern if the  transactions  contemplated  by the Exchange
Agreement  are not  consummated.  The  accompanying  financial  statements  were
prepared on a going-concern  basis and do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of the Trace bankruptcy filing.

Future Accounting Changes  - Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities

     As previously  reported,  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No.
133,  "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No.
133")  will  require  the  fair  value  of  derivatives  be  recognized  in  the
consolidated  balance sheets.  Changes in the fair value of derivatives  will be
recognized in earnings or in other comprehensive  income,  essentially depending
on the  structure  and purpose of the  derivatives.  During 2000,  SFAS No. 138,
"Accounting for Certain Derivative  Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities",
which  amends  SFAS No.  133 on a limited  number of  issues,  was  issued.  The
statements  will be effective  for all  quarters of all fiscal  years  beginning
after  June  15,  2000,  which is the  first  calendar  quarter  of 2001 for the
Company. The Company continues to evaluate the impact that the adoption of these
SFAS's will have on its results of operations or financial position.

Future Accounting Changes  - Revenue Recognition and Presentation

     The  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  (the  "SEC") has  issued  Staff
Accounting   Bulletin   (SAB)  No.  101,   "Revenue   Recognition  in  Financial
Statements".  SAB No. 101 will be effective  (as amended by SAB No. 101B) in the
fourth quarter of 2000 for the Company.  SAB No. 101 outlines the SEC's position
that  revenue  should not be  recognized  until it is  realized  or  realizable,
including the criteria that need to be met. The Company's current policy is that
revenue  recognition  from  sales,  net  of  discounts  and  estimated  returns,
allowances  and rebates,  is recognized  when products are shipped at which time
title passes to the customer.  The Company  continues to evaluate the impact, if
any, that the adoption of SAB No. 101 will have on results of operations.

     During  July 2000,  the  Emerging  Issues  Task  Force (the  "EITF") of the
Financial  Accounting Standards Board reached a consensus on an issue concerning
the components of revenue.  EITF No. 00-10 "Accounting for Shipping and Handling
Revenues and Costs"  essentially  requires that shipping and handling costs that
are billed to a customer be included  in revenue.  Accordingly,  the Company has
determined  that a portion of shipping  costs billed to customers will require a
reclassification  from  cost of  sales  to  revenue,  but  continues  to work on
accumulating  the dollar impact.  EITF No. 00-10 will be effective in the fourth
calendar quarter of 2000 and will require reclassification of prior periods.

2.   BUYOUT PROPOSALS

     As  previously  reported  in the  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for 1999,  on
February 9, 2000, the Company  announced that it was in discussions with respect
to a proposal  involving the  acquisition  of all of the  Company's  outstanding
common stock for cash. On April 5, 2000, the Company  announced that discussions
with the potential buyer were terminated with no agreement  having been reached.
The Company  subsequently  terminated the  engagement of J.P.  Morgan & Company,
Inc. ("JP  Morgan"),  which acted as financial  advisor in connection  with such
transaction.  During the second quarter of 2000,  the Company ended  discussions
with JP Morgan concerning an additional engagement.

3.   INCOME TAXES

     The  effective  tax rates in 2000 and 1999 reflect the partial  reversal of
the  deferred  income tax asset  valuation  allowance  recognized  in 1998.  The
valuation  allowance  was reduced to reflect  the  utilization  of Federal  loss
carryforwards  that  reduced  the  current  tax  component  of the  Federal  tax
provision. Additionally, the valuation

3.     INCOME TAXES (continued)

allowance was reduced to offset the net deferred Federal tax liability generated
in 2000 and 1999.  The  effective  tax rate was higher in 2000  compared to 1999
primarily due to a greater percentage of income from foreign sources.

4.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

(a)  Effective  January 1, 2000,  the interest  rate on  outstanding  borrowings
     under the Foamex L.P. credit facility will increase by 25 basis points each
     quarter that Foamex  L.P.'s  leverage  ratio,  as defined,  exceeds 5.00 to
     1.00.  Once the leverage ratio is reduced below this level,  the cumulative
     amount of the 25 basis point adjustments to the interest rate on borrowings
     will be eliminated. At December 31, 1999, the calculated leverage ratio was
     5.48 to 1.00.  Consequently,  the basis point adjustment was applicable for
     the  calculation  of  interest in the first  quarter of 2000.  At March 31,
     2000, the  calculated  leverage ratio was 5.51 to 1.00 and an additional 25
     basis point  adjustment  became effective in the second quarter of 2000. At
     June 30,  2000,  the  calculated  ratio was 5.32 to 1.00.  Accordingly,  an
     additional 25 basis point adjustment will become effective during the third
     quarter of 2000.

(b)  At June 30, 2000,  the  revolving  credit  facility  commitment  was $180.0
     million,   the  weighted  average  interest  rate  was  10.78%,   available
     borrowings totaled $13.6 million and letters of credit outstanding  totaled
     $12.6  million.  The  commitment  under the  revolving  credit  facility is
     reduced  $2.5  million  each  quarter  during  the  remaining  term  of the
     agreement, which expires in June 2003.

(c)  During  the first  quarter of 2000,  the  Foamex/GFI  Note was repaid  with
     borrowings  under the Foamex  L.P.  revolving  credit  facility.  The $34.5
     million  letter  of  credit  that  was  outstanding  at  year-end  1999  to
     collateralize  principal and interest payable under the Foamex/GFI Note was
     also terminated.

(d)  At June 30,  2000,  available  borrowings  under the Foamex  Carpet  credit
     facility totaled $14.8 million and  approximately $0.2 million for a letter
     of credit outstanding.

(e)  As previously  reported in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for 1999,  excess
     cash flow generated annually,  as defined, is required to be used to prepay
     portions of the Foamex L.P. Term B, C and D loans.  The  prepayment  amount
     determined for 1999 was $13.3  million.  During the second quarter of 2000,
     the payment was made as scheduled and was financed through borrowings under
     the Foamex L.P. revolving credit facility.

12.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation - Shareholder

     On August 1, 2000, the Company announced that it had reached  agreements in
principle  with  the  plaintiffs  in the  stockholder  actions  described  below
providing for the settlement  and dismissal of such actions,  subject to certain
conditions, including court approval.

     The Shareholder Litigation. Beginning on March 17, 1998, six actions, which
were subsequently consolidated under the caption In re Foamex International Inc.
Shareholder  Litigation,  were  filed in the Court of  Chancery  of the State of
Delaware, and on August 13, 1999 another action, Watchung Road Associates, L.P.,
et al. v. Foamex  International  Inc., et al., was filed in the same court.  The
two actions were  consolidated  on May 3, 2000,  into a single  action under the
caption In re Foamex  International Inc.  Shareholder  Litigation (the "Delaware
Action"). The Delaware Action, a purported derivative and class action on behalf
of the Company and its stockholders, originally named as defendants the Company,
certain of its  current and former  directors  and  officers,  Trace and a Trace
affiliate.  The complaint in the Delaware  Action  alleges,  among other things,
that certain of the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company in
connection  with an attempt by Trace to acquire the  Company's  publicly  traded
common stock as well as with a potential  acquisition  transaction  with a group
led by Sorgenti  Chemical  Industries  LLC, and that  certain of the  defendants
breached  their  fiduciary  duties by causing  the  Company  to waste  assets in
connection  with a variety  of  transactions  entered  into  with  Trace and its
affiliates.  The Delaware Action seeks various  remedies,  including  injunctive
relief, money damages and the appointment of a receiver for the Company.

     On April 26, 1999, a putative  securities  class action entitled Molitor v.
Foamex International Inc., et al., was filed in the United States District Court
for the Southern  District of New York naming as defendants  the Company,  Trace
and certain current and former officers and directors of the Company,  on behalf
of  stockholders  who bought  shares of the  Company's  common  stock during the
period  from May 7, 1998  through  and  including  April 16,  1999.  The lawsuit
alleges that the defendants  violated  Section 10(b) of the Securities  Exchange
Act  of  1934  and  Rule  10b-5  by  misrepresenting  and/or  omitting  material
information  about the Company's  financial  situation and operations,  with the
result of artificially  inflating the price of the Company's  stock. The lawsuit
also  alleges  that Trace and Marshall S. Cogan  violated  Section  20(a) of the
Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934 as  controlling  persons of the  Company.  The
complaint sought class certification, a declaration that defendants violated the
federal  securities  laws, an award of money damages,  and costs and attorneys',
accountants'  and experts'  fees.  On May 18, 1999,  a similar  action  entitled
Thomas W. Riley v.  Foamex  International  Inc.,  et al.,  was filed in the same
court. The two actions were consolidated and a consolidated complaint was filed;
the consolidated suit is referred to herein as the "Federal Action".

     The  Settlements.  Under the terms of the  agreement in principle to settle
the Federal Action, members of the class of shareholders who purchased shares of
common  stock  between May 7, 1998 and April 16, 1999 will  receive  payments as
defined in the agreement.  Payment to class members in the Federal Action, along
with plaintiffs'

lawyers' fees in the Federal Action and the Delaware Action, will be paid by the
Company's insurance carrier on behalf of the Company.

     Under the terms of the agreement to settle the Delaware Action, the Company
agreed that a special nominating committee of the Board of Directors, consisting
of Robert J. Hay as chairman,  Stuart J. Hershon, John G. Johnson, Jr., and John
V. Tunney,  will nominate two additional  independent  directors to serve on the
Board.  The  terms  of  the  agreement  also  establish  the  criteria  for  the
independence  of the  directors  and  require  that  certain  transactions  with
affiliates be approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board.

     Both  settlements  are subject to final  documentation  and court approval,
which, if obtained,  will resolve all outstanding shareholder litigation against
the Company and its current and former  directors and officers.  The settlements
involve no  admissions  or findings of liability or wrongdoing by the Company or
any individuals.

Litigation - Breast Implants

     As of August 7, 2000, the Company and Trace were two of multiple defendants
in actions filed on behalf of approximately  3,623 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 39 residents of Australia, New Zealand,  England, and Ireland. The
Company  believes that the number of suits and  claimants  may increase.  During
1995,  the Company and Trace 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.
Neither the Company nor Trace  recommended,  authorized,  or approved the use of
its foam for these  purposes.  The Company is also  indemnified by Trace for any
such liabilities  relating to foam manufactured  prior to October 1990.  Trace's
insurance carrier has continued to pay the Company's  litigation  expenses after
Trace's filing under the Bankruptcy Code. Trace's insurance policies continue to
cover  certain  liabilities  of Trace but if the  limits of those  policies  are
exhausted, Trace will be unable to provide additional indemnification.  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 counsel for the Company,  and without taking into account the
indemnification  provided  by Trace,  the  coverage  provided by Trace's and the
Company's  liability insurance and potential indemnity from the manufacturers of
polyurethane  covered breast implants,  management believes that the disposition
of the 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
consolidated  financial  position  or results  of  operations.  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 financial
position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company.

Litigation - Other

     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  financial  position,  results of
operations and cash flows of the Company.

Environmental

     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.  As of June 30,  2000,  the Company had  accruals of
approximately $4.3 million for environmental  matters.  During 1998, the Company
established an allowance of $1.2 million  relating to receivables from Trace for
environmental indemnifications due to the financial difficulties of Trace.

     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. The final National
Emission  Standard for  Hazardous  Air  Pollutants  ("NESHAP")  was  promulgated
October 7,  1998.  NESHAP  requires  a  reduction  of  approximately  70% of the
emission  of  methylene  chloride  for the slab  stock foam  industry  effective
October 7, 2001. The Company believes that the use of alternative  technologies,
including  VPFSM,  which do not utilize  methylene  chloride  and its ability to
shift  current   production  to  the  facilities  which  use  these  alternative
technologies  will  minimize  the  impact  of  these  regulations.  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.

     The Company has reported to the appropriate  state  authorities that it has
found soil and/or  groundwater  contamination  in excess of state  standards  at
seven sites.  These sites are in various stages of investigation or remediation.
Accordingly, the extent of contamination and the ultimate liability is not known
with  certainty for all sites.  The Company has accruals of $3.1 million for the
estimated cost of remediation, including professional fees and monitoring costs,
for these sites.  During 2000,  Foamex  L.P., a wholly owned  subsidiary  of the
Company,  reached an  indemnification  agreement  with the  former  owner of the
Morristown,  Tennessee facility. The agreement allocates the incurred and future
remediation  costs  between  the former  owner and  Foamex  L.P.  The  estimated
allocation  of  future  costs  for  the  remediation  of  this  facility  is not
significant,  based on current  information known. The former owner was Recticel
Foam Corporation, a subsidiary of Recticel s.a.

     Federal  regulations  required  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 upgraded all USTs at its  facilities  in  accordance
with these regulations.  Some petroleum  contamination in soils was found at one
of the sites; the extent of the  contamination is currently being  investigated.
The Company has accrued approximately $0.5 million for the estimated remediation
costs associated with this site. 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. Based upon investigations  conducted thus far,
the  Company  believes  that  its  USTs  do  not  pose  a  significant  risk  of
environmental liability. However, there can be no assurances that such USTs will
not result in significant environmental liability in the future.

     On April 10,  1997,  the  Occupational  Health  and  Safety  Administration
promulgated new standards  governing  employee  exposure to methylene  chloride,
which is used in some of the Company's manufacturing  processes. The phase-in of
the  standards  was  completed  in  1999  and  the  Company  has  developed  and
implemented a compliance program.  Capital expenditures  required and changes in
operating  procedures are not anticipated to significantly  impact the Company's
competitive position.

     The Company has been designated as a Potentially  Responsible Party ("PRP")
by the EPA with respect to seven sites.  Estimates  of total  cleanup  costs and
fractional allocations of liability are generally provided by the EPA

or the committee of PRP's with respect to the  specified  site. In each case and
in  the  aggregate,  the  liability  of the  Company  is  not  considered  to be
significant.

     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,  the Company 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 that new environmental  legislation and/or  environmental
regulations may be adopted,  or other  environmental  conditions may be found to
exist, that would require expenditures not currently anticipated and that may be
significant.

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

Change in Control

     Trace is a privately  held company,  which owned  approximately  29% of the
Company's  outstanding  voting  common stock at July 31, 2000,  and whose former
Chairman also serves as the Company's Chairman. The Company's common stock owned
by Trace is  pledged as  collateral  against  certain  of  Trace's  obligations.
Certain credit  agreements and promissory  notes of the Company's  subsidiaries,
pursuant to which  approximately  $453.3 million of principal was outstanding as
of June 30,  2000,  provides  that a "change  of  control"  would be an event of
default and could result in the  acceleration of such  indebtedness.  "Change of
control" means, for this purpose, that (i) a person or related group, other than
Trace, beneficially owns more than 25% of the Company's outstanding voting stock
and (ii) such voting stock constitutes a greater percentage of such voting stock
than the amount beneficially owned by Trace. Additionally, certain indentures of
Foamex L.P.  and FCC  relating to senior  subordinated  notes of $248.0  million
contain  similar "change of control"  provisions,  which require Foamex L.P. and
FCC to tender for such  notes at a price in cash equal to 101% of the  aggregate
principal amount thereof,  plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if there is
such a "change of control".

     On July 21,  1999,  the  Company  was  informed  by  Trace  that it filed a
petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy  Code in Federal Court in
New York City. Subsequently, on January 24, 2000, an order was signed converting
the Trace  bankruptcy  from  Chapter 11 to Chapter 7 of the  Bankruptcy  Code. A
trustee was  appointed to oversee the  liquidation  of Trace's  assets.  Neither
Trace's  bankruptcy filing nor the conversion to Chapter 7 constituted a "change
of control"  under the  provisions of the debt  agreements  described  above.  A
"change of control" could take place however, if the bankruptcy court allows the
Trace creditors to foreclose on and take ownership of the Company's common stock
owned by Trace,  or  otherwise  authorizes  a sale or transfer of these  shares,
under  circumstances  in which a person or  related  group,  other  than  Trace,
acquired  more than 25% of the  Company's  outstanding  voting stock and owned a
greater  percentage of such voting stock than the amount  beneficially  owned by
Trace.

     On July  31,  2000,  the  Company  announced  that it had  entered  into an
Exchange  Agreement  with The Bank of Nova  Scotia  relating to a portion of the
7,197,426  shares of the Company's  common stock pledged by Trace to The Bank of
Nova  Scotia.  The Exchange  Agreement  provides for the transfer of the pledged
stock to The Bank of Nova Scotia in a manner that will not  constitute a "change
of control" as described above. Under the Exchange  Agreement,  The Bank of Nova
Scotia will initially  receive  1,500,000  shares of the Company's  common stock
from the Trace  bankruptcy  estate and  exchange  these  common stock shares for
15,000  shares  of a  new  class  of  the  Company's  non-voting  non-redeemable
convertible  preferred stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock"). Each share of the
Series B  Preferred  Stock can be  converted  into 100  shares of the  Company's
common  stock;  but,  only if such  conversion  would not  trigger a "change  of
control"  event,  as  discussed  above.  The Series B  Preferred  Stock would be
entitled to  dividends  only if a dividend is declared on the  Company's  common
stock,  rank senior to any future  preferred  stock issued by the Company and be
entitled to a liquidation preference of $100 per share. Following this exchange,
The  Bank  of Nova  Scotia  will  become  the  owner  of  less  than  25% of the
outstanding  shares of the Company's  common stock when the remaining  5,697,426
shares of the Company's  common stock are transferred to The Bank of Nova Scotia
from the Trace bankruptcy estate.

     These transactions are conditioned upon a settlement  agreement between The
Bank of Nova Scotia and the trustee for the Trace  bankruptcy  being approved by
the  bankruptcy  court.  Upon  completion of these  transactions,  Trace will no
longer own any shares of the Company's common stock.

     Management  believes  that it is unlikely  that a "change of control"  will
occur as a result of Trace's bankruptcy proceedings particularly in light of the
Exchange Agreement.  However,  if the transactions  contemplated by the Exchange
Agreement are not consummated, the Company would seek to resolve the issues that
may arise should the "change of control" provisions be triggered,  by requesting
waivers of such provisions and/or refinancing certain debt, if necessary.  There
can be no assurance that the Company or its subsidiaries  will be able to do so,
or that the  Company  will be able to obtain  waivers of such  provisions.  Such
circumstances  would  raise  substantial  doubt about the  Company's  ability to
continue as a going  concern if the  transactions  contemplated  by the Exchange
Agreement  are not  consummated.  The  accompanying  financial  statements  were
prepared on a going-concern  basis and do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of the Trace bankruptcy filing.

        OF OPERATIONS.

Future Accounting Changes  - Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities

     As  previously  reported,  SFAS No.  133  will  require  the fair  value of
derivatives be recognized in the  consolidated  balance  sheets.  Changes in the
fair  value  of  derivatives   will  be  recognized  in  earnings  or  in  other
comprehensive income,  essentially depending on the structure and purpose of the
derivatives.  During  2000,  SFAS No. 138,  "Accounting  for Certain  Derivative
Instruments  and Certain  Hedging  Activities",  which  amends SFAS No. 133 on a
limited number of issues,  was issued.  The statements will be effective for all
quarters of all fiscal years beginning  after June 15, 2000,  which is the first
calendar quarter of 2001 for the Company.  The Company continues to evaluate the
impact that the adoption of these SFAS's will have on its results of  operations
or financial position.

Future Accounting Changes  - Revenue Recognition and Presentation

     The SEC has issued SAB No. 101,  which will be effective (as amended by SAB
No. 101B) in the fourth  quarter of 2000 for the  Company.  SAB No. 101 outlines
the SEC's position that revenue should not be recognized until it is realized or
realizable,  including the criteria  that need to be met. The Company's  current
policy is that revenue  recognition  from sales,  net of discounts and estimated
returns,  allowances  and rebates,  is  recognized  when products are shipped at
which time title passes to the customer.  The Company  continues to evaluate the
impact,  if any,  that the  adoption  of SAB No.  101 will  have on  results  of
operations.

     During July 2000,  the EITF of the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board
reached a consensus on an issue  concerning the components of revenue.  EITF No.
00-10  "Accounting  for Shipping and  Handling  Revenues and Costs"  essentially
requires  that  shipping  and  handling  costs that are billed to a customer  be
included in revenue.  Accordingly,  the Company has determined that a portion of
shipping costs billed to customers will require a reclassification  from cost of
sales to revenue,  but continues to work on accumulating the dollar impact. EITF
No.  00-10 will be  effective  in the fourth  calendar  quarter of 2000 and will
require reclassification of prior periods.

Buyout Proposals

     As  previously  reported  in the  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for 1999,  on
February 9, 2000, the Company  announced that it was in discussions with respect
to a proposal  involving the  acquisition  of all of the  Company's  outstanding
common stock for cash. On April 5, 2000, the Company  announced that discussions
with the potential buyer were terminated with no agreement  having been reached.
The Company subsequently  terminated the engagement of JP Morgan, which acted as
financial advisor in connection with such transaction. During the second quarter
of 2000, the Company ended  discussions with JP Morgan  concerning an additional
engagement.

RESULTS OF  OPERATIONS  FOR THE  QUARTER  ENDED JUNE 30,  2000  COMPARED  TO THE
QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

Income from Operations

     Net sales for the second  quarter of 2000  increased 1.9% to $319.1 million
from  $313.0  million in the  second  quarter of 1999.  The  increase  primarily
reflected higher sales in the Foam Products,  Automotive  Products and Technical
Products  segments  and higher  sales  from  certain  of the  Company's  foreign
operations  reported in the "Other"  segment.  Lower sales were  recorded in the
Carpet Cushion Products segment.

     Income from  operations  for the second  quarter of 2000 was $29.1 million,
which  represented a 34.6% increase from the $21.6 million  recorded  during the
comparable 1999 period. Results in 1999 included restructuring and other charges
of $3.7  million.  Excluding  the  1999  restructuring  and  other  charges  for
comparison  purposes,  income from  operations  was $25.3  million in the second
quarter of 1999. On this basis,  income from operations was 9.1% of net sales in
2000 compared to 8.1% of net sales in 1999.

     Higher income from operations  reflected an improved gross profit margin of
14.8% in the second  quarter of 2000  compared to 14.0% in same quarter of 1999.
Gross profit  margins  benefited from price  increases in certain  product lines
that became effective in the second quarter of 2000. The selling price increases
helped to offset higher raw material costs that  primarily  resulted from higher
oil costs. A more profitable  shipment mix also  contributed to the improvement.
In the second  quarter of 2000,  gross  profits  were also  impacted  by foreign
currency losses.

     Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  were down  slightly in the
second quarter of 2000 with the benefits of cost savings initiatives implemented
during 1999 essentially  offset by increases to the allowance for  uncollectible
accounts  receivables,  higher incentive  compensation accruals and professional
fees.  The  professional  fees  were  associated  with  the  Exchange  Agreement
concerning  the transfer of the  Company's  common stock pledged by Trace to The
Bank of Nova Scotia and the shareholder litigation  settlement,  as discussed in
Note 1 and  Note  12,  respectively,  to the  condensed  consolidated  financial
statements.

Foam Products

     Foam Products net sales for the second  quarter of 2000  increased  3.5% to
$130.8 million from $126.3  million in the second quarter of 1999.  Higher sales
primarily  reflected  improvements  in volume and the  impact of  selling  price
increases that became effective during the second quarter.  Partially offsetting
the sales gains was a sales decline in the consumer products market and the loss
of sales  from  the  Company's  packaging  business  that was sold in 1999.  The
improvement in sales combined with operating efficiencies  translated to a 20.2%
increase in income from operations,  from $12.8 million in the second quarter of
1999 to $15.4 million in the second quarter of 2000.  Income from operations was
11.8% of net sales in 2000, up from 10.2% in 1999.

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

Carpet Cushion Products

     Carpet Cushion  Products net sales for the second quarter of 2000 decreased
6.2% to  $62.0  million  from  $66.1  million  in the  second  quarter  of 1999.
Competitive pressures continued in the second quarter of 2000, which resulted in
lower sales volumes and lower selling prices in certain  product lines.  Despite
the sales decline,  income from operations of $1.2 million was on the same level
as the  second  quarter  of 1999.  Operating  efficiencies  and  cost  structure
improvements  helped to mitigate the unfavorable market conditions.  Income from
operations represented 1.9% of net sales in 2000 and in 1999.

Automotive Products

     Automotive Products net sales for the second quarter of 2000 increased 1.8%
to $92.4  million from $90.8 million in the second  quarter of 1999.  The strong
automotive market continues to fuel sales gains for lamination products.  Income
from  operations of $7.3 million in the second  quarter of 2000 compared to $5.8
million in the comparable  1999 period.  The increase in income from  operations
was primarily due to the favorable impact of a selling price  adjustment  during
the  second  quarter of 2000,  which  included  adjustments  for  certain  prior
periods.  Income from operations  represented 7.9% of net sales in 2000 and 6.4%
in 1999.

Technical Products

     Technical Products net sales for the second quarter of 2000 increased 13.7%
to $26.2 million from $23.0 million in the second  quarter of 1999.  Income from
operations  increased  14.0% to $6.9 million in the second  quarter of 2000 from
$6.0 million in the second quarter of 1999.  Income from operations  represented
26.2%  of net  sales  in 2000  compared  to  26.1%  in  1999.  Favorable  market
conditions  continued  to drive sales gains in  Technical  Products,  but with a
lower-value shipment mix in the second quarter of 2000 compared to 1999.

Other

     Other  primarily  consists  of certain  foreign  manufacturing  operations,
corporate  expenses not  allocated to business  segments and  restructuring  and
other charges.  The increase in net sales associated with this segment primarily
resulted from an increase in net sales from the Company's Mexico City operation.
The loss from  operations  was $1.6  million in the  second  quarter of 2000 and
included the professional fees that were associated with the Exchange  Agreement
and the shareholder litigation settlement,  discussed previously.  The loss from
operations  of $4.2 million in the second  quarter of 1999 included $3.7 million
of restructuring and other charges.

Interest and Debt Issuance Expense

     Interest and debt  issuance  expense  totaled  $18.8  million in the second
quarter of 2000, which  represented a 6.2% increase from the 1999 second quarter
expense of $17.7 million.  The increase  primarily  reflected  higher  effective
interest  rates  partially  offset by the benefit of lower  average debt levels.
Higher effective  interest rates reflected  market  conditions and the impact of
certain   provisions  of  the  Foamex  L.P.  credit  facility  that  require  an
incremental interest rate margin. During the second quarter of 2000 the interest
rate margin was increased another 25 basis points to a cumulative  adjustment of
50 basis points. As discussed in Note 8 to the condensed  consolidated financial
statements, an additional 25 basis point adjustment will become effective during
the third quarter of 2000.

Income from Equity Interest in Joint Venture

     Income  from an equity  interest  in an Asian joint  venture  totaled  $0.4
million for the second quarter of 2000.

Other Income (Expense), Net

     Other  expense,  net recorded  for the second  quarter of 2000 totaled $0.9
million  and  included  a loss on the  disposition  of fixed  assets  and  costs
incurred related to the buyout proposal discussed previously.

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

Income Tax Expense

     The effective tax rates in 2000 and 1999 reflected the partial  reversal of
the  deferred  income tax asset  valuation  allowance  recognized  in 1998.  The
valuation  allowance  was reduced to reflect  the  utilization  of Federal  loss
carryforwards  that  reduced  the  current  tax  component  of the  Federal  tax
provision.  Additionally,  the valuation allowance was reduced to offset the net
deferred Federal tax liability generated in 2000 and 1999. Compared to 1999, the
effective tax rate was higher in 2000  primarily due to a greater  percentage of
income from foreign sources.

Net Income

     Net income for the second quarter of 2000 was $8.0 million compared to $3.2
million recorded in the second quarter of 1999.

RESULTS OF  OPERATIONS  FOR THE YEAR TO DATE PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED
TO THE YEAR TO DATE PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

Income from Operations

     Net sales for the first half of 2000  increased 1.4% to $645.0 million from
$635.9  million for the first half of 1999.  The  increase  primarily  reflected
higher sales in the  Automotive  Products and  Technical  Products  segments and
higher sales from certain of the Company's  foreign  operations  reported in the
"Other"  segment.  Sales  declines were recorded in the Foam Products and Carpet
Cushion Products segments.

     Income from operations for the first half of 2000 was $50.4 million,  17.4%
higher than the $43.0 million  recorded  during the  comparable  period in 1999.
Results  included  restructuring  and other  charges of $3.2 million in 2000 and
$7.1 million in 1999.  Restructuring  and other charges recorded during 2000 are
discussed under "Other" below. Excluding the restructuring and other charges for
comparison purposes, income from operations was $53.7 million for the first half
of 2000 and $50.1 million in the first half of 1999. On this basis,  income from
operations was 8.3% of net sales in 2000 compared to 7.9% of net sales in 1999.

     Higher income from operations  reflected an improved gross profit margin of
14.1% in the first half of 2000 compared to 13.7% in the comparable 1999 period.
Gross  profit  margins  benefited  from a  higher-value  shipment  mix and price
increases in certain  product lines that became  effective in the second quarter
of 2000. The selling price increases  helped to offset higher raw material costs
that primarily  resulted from higher oil costs. In the first half of 2000, gross
profits were also impacted by foreign currency losses.

     Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  were down  slightly in the
first half of 2000 with the  benefits of cost  savings  initiatives  implemented
during 1999 essentially  offset by increases to the allowance for  uncollectible
accounts  receivables,  higher incentive  compensation accruals and professional
fees.  The  professional  fees  were  associated  with  the  Exchange  Agreement
concerning  the transfer of the  Company's  common stock pledged by Trace to The
Bank of Nova Scotia and the shareholder litigation  settlement,  as discussed in
Note 1 and  Note  12,  respectively,  to the  condensed  consolidated  financial
statements.

Foam Products

     Foam Products net sales for the first half of 2000 decreased 2.4% to $260.8
million  from $267.2  million in the first half of 1999.  Lower sales  primarily
reflected a volume decline in the consumer products market and the loss of sales
from the  Company's  packaging  business  that was sold in 1999.  Despite  lower
sales,  income from  operations in the first half of 2000 was $28.2 million,  up
9.0%  compared  to $25.9  million  in the first  half of 1999.  The  improvement
largely reflected operating efficiencies and selling price increases implemented
during the  second  quarter of 2000 that  helped to offset  higher raw  material
costs.  As a percentage of net sales,  income from  operations  was 10.8% of net
sales in 2000 up from 9.7% in 1999.

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

Carpet Cushion Products

     Carpet Cushion Products net sales for the first half of 2000 decreased 6.8%
to $122.0  million  from $130.9  million in the first half of 1999.  Competitive
pressures  continued  in the first half of 2000,  which  resulted in lower sales
volumes and lower selling prices in certain product lines.  As a result,  a loss
from  operations of $0.7 million was recorded in the first half of 2000 compared
to income from operations of $3.0 million in the comparable 1999 period. Results
in Carpet Cushion  Products  improved during the second quarter of 2000, but any
significant  improvement  in results is largely  dependent  on  increased  sales
volume.

Automotive Products

     Automotive  Products net sales for the first half of 2000 increased 5.7% to
$189.7  million  from  $179.6  million  in the first  half of 1999.  The  strong
automotive market continues to fuel sales gains for lamination products.  Income
from operations  increased 16.8% to $14.4 million in the first half of 2000 from
$12.4  million in the  comparable  1999  period.  The  increase  in income  from
operations  was  primarily  due to  the  favorable  impact  of a  selling  price
adjustment  during the second quarter of 2000,  which included  adjustments  for
certain prior periods.  Income from operations  represented 7.6% of net sales in
2000 and 6.9% of net sales in 1999.

Technical Products

     Technical  Products net sales for the first half of 2000 increased 18.5% to
$53.6  million  from  $45.3  million  in the  first  half of 1999.  Income  from
operations increased 32.1% to $14.4 million in the first half of 2000 from $10.9
million in the comparable 1999 period. Income from operations  represented 26.8%
of net sales in 2000, up from 24.0% in 1999. The improvement reflected favorable
market  conditions  that resulted in sales volume growth and improved  operating
efficiencies.

Other

     Other  primarily  consists  of certain  foreign  manufacturing  operations,
corporate  expenses not  allocated to business  segments and  restructuring  and
other charges.  The increase in net sales associated with this segment primarily
resulted from an increase in net sales from the Company's Mexico City operation.
The loss from  operations  of $5.8 million in the first half of 2000  included a
provision of $3.2 million for  restructuring  and other charges discussed below.
The loss also  included  the  professional  fees that were  associated  with the
Exchange  Agreement  and  the  shareholder  litigation   settlement,   discussed
previously.  The loss from  operations of $9.1 million in the first half of 1999
included $7.1 million of restructuring and other charges.

     During  the first  quarter  of 2000,  restructuring  and other  charges  of
approximately $3.2 million were recorded. The provision included $2.1 million in
work force reduction costs for 30 employees,  including certain executives,  and
employees  impacted  by the  closure  of certain  operations  related to a VPFSM
capacity increase in North Carolina. Additionally, facility closure cost totaled
$0.3  million and related  equipment  writedowns  were $0.4  million.  The first
quarter  2000  provision  also  included  $0.4  million  related  to  changes in
estimates to prior year plans.

     The Company paid $3.2 million during the first half of 2000 for the various
restructuring  plans  recorded  as of  December  31,  1999 and  during the first
quarter  of  2000.  As of June  30,  2000,  the  components  of the net  accrued
restructuring  and plant  consolidation  balance included $8.8 million for plant
closures  and leases and $3.3  million  for  personnel  reductions.  Included in
current  assets was $1.5  million and in  noncurrent  assets was $0.2 million of
estimated  proceeds for facilities  actively being marketed for sale. During the
second  quarter of 2000,  the Company  sold a facility  relating to a prior year
restructuring plan for proceeds of approximately $3.6 million. Substantially all
employees  impacted  by  the  first  quarter  2000  work  force  reduction  were
terminated by the end of the second quarter of 2000.  Approximately $3.3 million
is  expected  to  be  spent  during  the  remainder  of  2000  for  the  various
restructuring plans.

Interest and Debt Issuance Expense

     Interest and debt issuance  expense totaled $37.4 million in the first half
of 2000,  which  represented a 5.7% increase from the 1999 first half expense of
$35.4 million.  The increase reflected higher effective interest rates

partially  offset by the benefit of lower average debt levels.  Higher effective
interest rates reflected market conditions and the impact of certain  provisions
of the Foamex L.P.  credit  facility that requires an incremental  interest rate
margin.  The  additional  interest  rate margin was 25 basis points in the first
quarter of 2000 and during the second  quarter of 2000 the interest  rate margin
was  increased  another 25 basis points to a cumulative  adjustment  of 50 basis
points.  As  discussed  in  Note  8  to  the  condensed  consolidated  financial
statements, an additional 25 basis point adjustment will become effective during
the third quarter of 2000.

Income from Equity Interest in Joint Venture

     Income  from an equity  interest  in an Asian joint  venture  totaled  $0.7
million for the first half of 2000.

Other Income (Expense), Net

     Other expense, net recorded for the first half of 2000 totaled $1.8 million
and primarily  included costs incurred related to the buyout proposal  discussed
previously.  Other expense in 2000 also included  losses on the  disposition  of
fixed assets.  Included in other  income,  net in the first half of 1999 of $3.1
million was a $4.2 million gain recorded on the sale of the corporate aircraft.

Income Tax Expense

     The  effective  tax rates in 2000 and 1999 reflect the partial  reversal of
the  deferred  income tax asset  valuation  allowance  recognized  in 1998.  The
valuation  allowance  was reduced to reflect  the  utilization  of Federal  loss
carryforwards  that  reduced  the  current  tax  component  of the  Federal  tax
provision.  Additionally,  the valuation allowance was reduced to offset the net
deferred Federal tax liability generated in 2000 and 1999. Compared to 1999, the
effective tax rate was higher in 2000  primarily due to a greater  percentage of
income from foreign sources.

Net Income

     Net income for the first half of 2000 was up 6.3% to $9.8 million  compared
to $9.2 million in the first half of 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The  Company's   operations   are   conducted   through  its  wholly  owned
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.

     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 its credit  facility  will be adequate  to meet its  liquidity
requirements.  All principal and interest payments were made as scheduled in the
first half of 2000.  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 its credit  facility  will be adequate  to meet its  liquidity
requirements.  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  totaled  $2.2  million at the end of the second
quarter of 2000 compared to $6.6 million at the end of 1999.  Working capital at
the end of the second  quarter of 2000 was $110.4  million and the current ratio
was 1.6 to 1 compared  to working  capital at the end of 1999 of $105.6  million
and a current ratio of 1.6

to 1.  Significant  changes to the  components  of working  capital  included an
increase of $22.8 million in accounts  receivable that was partially offset by a
$13.5 million increase in accounts payable.

     Total  debt at the end of the second  quarter  of 2000 was $727.8  million,
down $17.5 million from  year-end  1999.  During the first quarter of 2000,  the
Foamex/GFI  Note was repaid  with  borrowings  under the Foamex  L.P.  revolving
credit  facility.  The $34.5 million  letter of credit that was  outstanding  at
year-end  1999  to  collateralize  principal  and  interest  payable  under  the
Foamex/GFI Note was also terminated.

     As of June  30,  2000,  there  were  $153.8  million  of  revolving  credit
borrowings, at a weighted average interest rate of 10.78%, under the Foamex L.P.
credit facility with $13.6 million available for additional borrowings and $12.6
million of letters  of credit  outstanding.  Borrowings  by Foamex  Canada  Inc.
("Foamex Canada") as of June 30, 2000 were $2.5 million,  at an interest rate of
8.25%, under Foamex Canada's revolving credit agreement with unused availability
of  approximately  $2.9  million.  Foamex  Carpet  did not have any  outstanding
borrowings under the Foamex Carpet credit facility at June 30, 2000, with unused
availability  of $14.8  million and  approximately  $0.2 million for a letter of
credit  outstanding.  As of June 30, 2000,  the Company's  subsidiaries  were in
compliance with financial covenants of their loan agreements.

     Cash Flow from Operating Activities

     Cash  provided by operating  activities in the first half of 2000 was $19.1
million compared to $18.3 million in the first half of 1999 with the combination
of earnings and working capital  requirements  relatively  comparable in the two
periods.

     Cash Flow from Investing Activities

     Cash used for investing  activities totaled $7.5 million for the first half
of  2000.  Cash  requirements  for  capital  expenditures  were  $10.6  million,
partially  offset by $3.6  million of proceeds  from the sale of assets.  In the
first half of 1999,  cash flow  provided by  investing  activities  totaled $6.4
million  primarily  from  $16.3  million  of  proceeds  from the sale of assets,
partially offset by $10.8 million of capital  expenditures.  The Company expects
capital  expenditures for 2000 to be approximately  $25.0 million primarily as a
result of the construction of two new VPFSM machines.  In addition,  the Company
is  continuing  to explore the  possible  implementation  of a new ERP  software
system, but no significant expenditures are anticipated for the balance of 2000.

     Cash Flow from Financing Activities

     Cash used for financing  activities was $15.9 million for the first half of
2000  compared  to cash  used of $34.2  million  in the first  half of 1999.  As
discussed  previously,  the $34.0 million  Foamex/GFI Note was repaid during the
first quarter of 2000 with  borrowings  under the Foamex L.P.  revolving  credit
facility.  The remaining cash  requirements for financing  activities  primarily
reflected other debt  repayments.  Cash used for financing  activities was $34.2
million in the first half of 1999 primarily due to net debt  repayments and debt
issuance costs.

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 the
Company's  operations,  financial position,  capital expenditures or competitive
position.  The amount of liabilities  recorded by the Company in connection with
environmental  matters  as of June 30,  2000 was $4.3  million.  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 Note 12 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.

Market Risk

     The Company's debt securities  with variable  interest rates are subject to
market risk for changes in interest rates. On June 30, 2000,  indebtedness  with
variable  interest rates totaled $468.0 million.  On an annualized basis, if the
interest rates on these debt  instruments  increased by 1.0%,  interest  expense
would increase by approximately $4.7 million.
