(b)  Pro Forma Unaudited Financial Information

     The  unaudited  pro  forma  combined  balance  sheet of  Safety  Components
International,  Inc.  (Safety  Components or the Company) and the Air Restraints
and Technical Products Division (the Division) of JPS Automotive L.P. as of June
30, 1997  reflect  adjustments  as if the  acquisition  of all of the assets and
certain  liabilities,  subject to post-closing  adjustments,  of the Division by
Safety  Components  had taken place on June 30, 1997.  The  unaudited  pro forma
statement  of  operations  for the twelve  months  ended March 31, 1997  reflect
adjustments as if the  transaction  had occurred on April 1, 1996, the beginning
of Safety  Components' fiscal year. The acquisition is being accounted for using
the purchase  method.  Effective May 22, 1997,  the Company  acquired all of the
issued and outstanding stock of Valentec International  Corporation  (Valentec),
which was accounted for using the purchase  method.  Accordingly,  the unaudited
pro forma  statement of  operations  for the twelve  months ended March 31, 1997
reflects  adjustments  as if the Valentec  transaction  had occurred on April 1,
1996. The unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the three months ended
June 30, 1997 reflect adjustments as if the Division transaction had occurred on
April 1, 1997, the beginning of Safety  Components' first quarter ended June 30,
1997. Certain  transactions  occurred  subsequent to the acquisition of Valentec
and  prior to the  Division  transaction  which  are  included  in the Pro Forma
Unaudited   Financial   Information  under  the  heading  Subsequent   Financing
Transactions.

     The financial  statements of Safety Components are based on the fiscal year
ending March 31. The  acquisition  of Phoenix  Airbag GmbH (Phoenix  Airbag) was
consummated  on August  6,  1996.  In order to  present  the pro forma  combined
financial  statements  based on Safety  Components'  fiscal year ended March 31,
1997,  Phoenix Airbag's results for the period from April 1, 1996 through August
5, 1996 are being included.

     The  unaudited  pro forma  combined  financial  statements  reflect  Safety
Components'  allocation of the purchase price,  including  transaction costs, of
approximately $56.9 million to the assets and liabilities of the Division, based
upon Safety  Components'  appraised  values of the relevant  assets acquired and
liabilities  assumed.  The final  allocation  of the purchase  price may vary as
additional information is obtained, and accordingly, the ultimate allocation may
differ from those used in the unaudited  pro forma  financial  statements.  Such
final allocation is not expected to be materially different.

     The unaudited pro forma  combined  financial  statements  should be read in
conjunction with the separate historical  financial statements and related notes
of the Division appearing in Item 7 (a) of this current report on Form 8-K/A and
the historical financial statements,  related notes and Management's  Discussion
and Analysis of  Consolidated  Financial  Condition and Results of Operations of
Safety  Components  for the year ended March 31, 1997 and the quarter ended June
30, 1997  previously  filed with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission.  The
financial  statements of Valentec are available  for review,  as filed,  on Form
8-K/A filed with the Securities  and Exchange  Commission on August 5, 1997. The
pro forma  information is not  necessarily  indicative of the results that would
have  been  reported  had  the  acquisitions  actually  occurred  on  the  dates
specified,  nor is it  necessarily  indicative  of  the  future  results  of the
combined companies.

                   NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA



NOTE 1   TRANSACTIONS

Valentec Acquisition

         Valentec is a high-volume manufacturer of stamped and precision machine
products in the automotive, commercial and defense industries. Immediately prior
to the  closing of the  Valentec  Acquisition,  Valentec  sold its  88.8%  owned
subsidiary,  Valentec  International  Limited ("VIL"),  for a nominal amount. In
connection  with the  Valentec  Acquisition,  the Company  assumed a demand note
payable to VIL of $800,000  and a five year term note of $2.0  million (see Note
4) in satisfaction of certain intercompany obligations between Valentec and VIL.
The stock of the  Company,  1,379,200  shares,  previously  held by Valentec was
reacquired and has been recorded as treasury  shares at fair value.  Goodwill of
approximately $16.8 million has been recorded in the June 30, 1997 balance sheet
and will be amortized over 25 years.  Amortization of goodwill has been included
in the accompanying  unaudited pro forma  consolidated  statements of operations
amounting  to  approximately  $672,000  for  the  year  ended  March  31,  1997.
Additionally,  the  Company had certain  related  transactions,  which have been
eliminated for pro forma presentation for the year ended March 31, 1997. For the
three months ended June 30, 1997 the Valentec  Acquisition is reflected from the
effective  date of  acquisition.  The operations for the period April 1, 1997 to
May 21, 1997 are not considered significant and, accordingly, have been excluded
from the accompanying  unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the three
months ended June 30, 1997.

JPS Acquisition

         On July  24,  1997,  the  Company  acquired  all of the  assets  of the
Division for $56.3 million in cash,  including 18 looms  (approximated  value of
$1.5 million) which were delivered to the Company at closing plus the assumption
of certain liabilities,  subject to post-closing  adjustments.  In addition, the
Company  made a payment to JPS at the  closing to enable it to pay off  existing
indebtedness  of  the  Division  of  approximately   $650,000  at  the  closing.
Subsequently,  the Company purchased an adjacent building for approximately $1.3
million.  The Company  estimates  direct  acquisition  costs to be approximately
$600,000.  The JPS Acquisition was accounted for as a purchase,  with the excess
of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets  acquired  allocated
to  goodwill.  The  Company  adjusted  property,  plant  and  equipment  in  the
accompanying  historical  financial  statements of the Division to fair value in
the amount of $677,000. Goodwill has been estimated at $16.4 million and will be
amortized  over 40 years.  Amortization  of  goodwill  has been  included in the
accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations amounting
to approximately $411,000 for the year ended March 31, 1997 and $103,000 for the
three  months ended June 30, 1997.  Additionally,  the Division had  preexisting
amortization  of goodwill  totaling  approximately  $884,000  for the year ended
March 29, 1997 and  $122,000  for the three months ended June 28, 1997 which was
reversed from the accompanying  unaudited pro forma  consolidated  statements of
operations.

         On July 24, 1997,  the Company  issued (the  "Offering")  $90.0 million
principal amount of its 10 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Notes") due July
15,  2007.  Interest  on the Notes will  accrue  from July 24,  1997 and will be
payable semi-annually in arrears on each of January 15 and July 15 of each year,
commencing  January 15, 1998.  Included in the unaudited pro forma  statement of
operations is interest expense of $9.1 million for the year ended March 31, 1997
and $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The Notes are general
unsecured obligations of the Company and subordinated in right of payment to all
existing  and  future  senior  indebtedness  of  the  Company  and  structurally
subordinated   to  all   existing  and   future  indebtedness  of  the Company's

subsidiaries that have not guaranteed payment of the Notes. All of the Company's
direct and indirect  wholly-owned  domestic  subsidiaries  have  guaranteed such
payment.  A  substantial  portion of the  proceeds of the Notes were used by the
Company to consummate the Division acquisition,  repay the term loan and amounts
outstanding   under  the  revolving   credit  facility  with  KeyBank   National
Association  ("KeyBank")  as of July 24,  1997,  pay certain  fees and  expenses
associated  with the Division  acquisition and the Notes and purchase a building
adjacent to the facility  acquired in the Division  acquisition.  The balance of
the proceeds will be used for working  capital and general  corporate  purposes.
The Company incurred  approximately $3.3 million of fees and expenses related to
the  Offering.  Such fees will be deferred  and charged to  operations  over the
expected term of the Notes, not to exceed 10 years.


NOTE 2   PRINCIPLES OF ACCOUNTING FOR UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA

         The historical  consolidated  financial statements include the accounts
of the Company and its substantially-owned subsidiaries. The accounts of Phoenix
Airbag GmbH ("Phoenix" or "Phoenix  Airbag"),  which was acquired by the Company
on August  6,  1996 (the  "Phoenix  Acquisition"),  have  been  included  in the
Company's historical  consolidated financial statements beginning August 6, 1996
(date of acquisition).  Accordingly,  management adjusted, on a pro forma basis,
the  historical  accounts for Phoenix based on its actual  results of operations
for the year ended March 31, 1997.


         For the year ended March 31, 1997, the accompanying unaudited pro forma
statements  of operations  have been adjusted to reflect,  on a pro forma basis,
the historical results of Phoenix for a full year, and management's estimates of
costs  and  expenses  for the  period  April 1, 1996  through  August 5, 1996 as
follows (in thousands):

   Net sales.....................................................       $12,381

NOTE 3   PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT, NET

         Property  and  equipment  has  been  increased  for the  purchase  of a
building for approximately  $1.3 million,  equipment for $1.5 million to be used
by the  Division,  and the  adjustment  to fair value of  $677,000  of  existing
equipment at the Division.  The building and equipment  have been purchased with
proceeds  received from the Offering.  The building has an estimated useful life
of 40 years and the  equipment  has an  estimated  useful life of 10 years.  The
accompanying  unaudited pro forma consolidated  statements of operations include
additional  depreciation amounting to $350,000 for the year ended March 29, 1997
and $33,000 for the three months ended June 28, 1997, which has been included as
costs of goods sold.


NOTE 4   LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS

         Prior to the  consummation of the Offering,  the Credit  Agreement with
KeyBank  provided for a Term Loan (the "Term Loan") in the  principal  amount of
$15.0 million and a Revolving Credit Facility (the "Revolving  Credit Facility")
in the  aggregate  principal  amount of $12.0  million.  Upon  completion of the
Offering,  the Company used the proceeds to repay the Term Loan and amounts then
outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.  In connection  therewith,  the
Company's  credit  facility  with  KeyBank was  converted  into a $27.0  million
revolving credit facility (the "New Credit Facility"), bearing interest at LIBOR
plus  1.00% with a  commitment  fee of 0.25% for any  unused  portion,  with the
remaining terms and conditions  being similar to the previous  revolving  credit
facility.  The New Credit Facility under the Credit Agreement will mature on May
31, 2002 and are secured by  substantially  all the assets of the  Company.  The
Company incurred approximately $200,000 of financing fees in connection with the
KeyBank credit  facility.  The Credit  Agreement  contains  certain  restrictive
covenants  that impose  limitations  upon,  among other  things,  the  Company's
ability to change its business;  merge,  consolidate or dispose of assets; incur
liens; make loans and investments;  incur indebtedness;  pay dividends and other
distributions;  engage in certain  transactions with affiliates;  engage in sale
and  lease-back  transactions;  enter into lease  agreements;  and make  capital
expenditures.

                   NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA


         Effective as of May 22, 1997, the Company  completed the acquisition of
Valentec.  The Company assumed all of Valentec's  outstanding  obligations as of
that date, including two term notes of approximately $5.1 million (net of assets
held by the lender),  a revolving line of credit of approximately  $1.7 million,
as of May 22, 1997 and equipment  financings of approximately $1.1 million as of
May 22, 1997.  Approximately $6.8 million of such indebtedness described in this
paragraph was retired in May and June 1997 with proceeds  received from the Bank
Austria mortgage note (see below).

         In  connection  with the Valentec  Acquisition,  the Company  assumed a
demand  note  payable  to VIL of  $800,000  and a five  year  term  note of $2.0
million,  payable in 60 monthly installments of approximately $39,600,  together
with interest at 7.0% per annum.  Interest expense of $140,000 has been included
in the unaudited pro forma  statement of operations for the year ended March 31,
1997 to reflect  this  obligation.  For the three  months  ended  June 30,  1997
interest is included from May 22, 1997 in the historical results and a pro forma
adjustment  has been  included in the amount of $17,000 for the period  April 1,
1997 through May 21, 1997.

         On June 4, 1997,  the  Company  secured a $7.5  million  mortgage  note
facility  with Bank  Austria.  The note is payable in  semi-annual  installments
through March 31, 2007 and bears an interest  rate of 7.5%.  The note is secured
by the assets of the Company's Czech Republic  facility.  The Company  increased
interest expense in the accompanying unaudited pro forma statement of operations
by $563,000 for these  borrowings as if they were outstanding for the year ended
March 31,  1997.  Additionally,  for the three  months  ended June 30,  1997 the
Company increased interest expense by $94,000.

Deferred Financing Costs

         Deferred  financing  costs,  included in other assets,  will arise,  or
arose,  as the case may be,  from the  issuance  of the Notes  (see Note 1), the
KeyBank Credit Facility and the Subsequent Transactions (see Note 6). Costs will
be  capitalized  and amortized  using the  effective  interest  method.  Amounts
charged to interest expense in the accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated
statements of operations amounted to $385,000 for the year ended March 31, 1997.
For the three months ended June 30, 1997 the amount charged to interest  expense
on a pro forma basis was $90,000.


NOTE 5   INCOME TAXES

         The Company  adjusted  the tax  provision of the Division as if it were
taxed as a corporation  for the twelve months ended March 29, 1997 and the three
months  ended  June 28,  1997.  The  Company  also  recorded a tax  benefit  for
additional  expenses,  which are deductible for income tax purposes and included
in the pro forma presentation.


NOTE 6   SUBSEQUENT TRANSACTIONS

         Subsequent  to the  Valentec  Acquisition,  the  Company  entered  into
certain  financing  arrangements.  On June 4, 1997,  the Company  secured a $7.5
million mortgage note facility with Bank Austria (see Note 4). The proceeds were
used to repay  approximately  $6.8  million of debt  obligations  assumed by the
Company as part of the Valentec  Acquisition.  In connection with this mortgage,
the Company incurred approximately $150,000 of financing fees. Additionally, the
Company replaced  certain  existing  capital lease  obligations with new capital
lease obligations with similar terms.  These transactions are collectively known
as the "Subsequent Transactions."

they do not include all of the information  and footnotes  required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of management,  the accompanying  financial  statements  reflect all adjustments
considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position,  results
of operations and cash flows.  Results of operations for interim periods are not
necessarily  indicative of results for the full year.  For further  information,
refer  to the  audited  financial  statements  and  notes  thereto  for  the Air
Restraint/Industrial  Fabrics division of JPS Automotive for the period December
12,  1996,  to December 28, 1996,  the period  January 1, 1996,  to December 11,
1996,  the year ended  December 31, 1995 and the period June 29, 1994 to January
1, 1995.
 
  The 1996 Acquisition
 
     On December 11, 1996,  Collins & Aikman  Corporation  ("C&A"),  through its
subsidiaries,  acquired JPS Automotive from Foamex International Inc. ("Foamex")
pursuant to an Equity  Purchase  Agreement  dated  August 28,  1996,  as amended
December  11, 1996 (the "1996  Acquisition").  The  purchase  price for the 1996
Acquisition  was  an  aggregate  of  approximately  $220  million,   subject  to
postclosing adjustment, consisting of approximately $195 million of indebtedness
of JPS Automotive and  approximately  $25 million in cash paid to Foamex. In the
accompanying   financial   statements,   for  periods  subsequent  to  the  1996
Acquisition, the Air Restraint/Industrial Fabrics division is referred to as the
"Division."
 
     Immediately  prior to the 1996  Acquisition,  JPS  Automotive was converted
from a Delaware limited  partnership  into an association  which is taxable as a
corporation for federal,  state and local income tax purposes. JPS Automotive is
included in the consolidated  federal income tax return of C&A. Income taxes for
periods  subsequent  to  the  1996  Acquisition  reflect  the  pushdown  of  the
Division's impact on the consolidated tax position of C&A.
 
  The 1994 Acquisition
 
     JPS  Automotive  L.P.  was  formed  on May 17,  1994,  for the  purpose  of
acquiring a 100% ownership interest in JPS Automotive Products Corp.  ("Products
Corp."),  which was purchased for nominal consideration on May 25, 1994. On June
28, 1994,  subsidiaries of Foamex, the owners of all participating  interests in
JPS Automotive,  made capital  contributions to Products Corp. On June 28, 1994,
Products  Corp.  acquired the assets of the  automotive  products and industrial
fabrics  divisions  of JPS  Textile  Group,  Inc.  ("JPS  Textile")  (the  "1994
Acquisition").  Effective  October  3,  1994,  Products  Corp.  transferred  and
assigned  substantially  all of its assets,  subject to substantially all of its
liabilities,   to  the  Predecessor   Company,   which  agreed  to  assume  such
liabilities.  In the  accompanying  financial  statements,  for periods prior to
December 12, 1996, the Air Restraint/Industrial  Fabrics division is referred to
as the "Predecessor Company."

3.  GOODWILL:
 
   
     Goodwill allocated to the Division from the 1996 Acquisition,  representing
the excess of purchase  price over the fair value of net assets  acquired in the
1996 Acquisition, is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of
40 years. The Predecessor  Company's  allocation of the JPS Automotive  goodwill
relating to the 1994  Acquisition  was also  amortized  using the  straight-line
method over a 40-year period. Amortization of goodwill for the period from March
30, 1997 to June 28, 1997, the period from December 29, 1996, to March 29, 1997,
the period April 1, 1996,  to June 30, 1996 and the period from January 1, 1996,
to  March  30,  1996,  was  $122  thousand,  $94  thousand  and  $266  thousand,
respectively.  Accumulated amortization at March 29, 1997 and June 28, 1997, was
$126  thousand,  $254 thousands and $248  thousand,  respectively.  The carrying
value of goodwill will be reviewed  periodically based on the nondiscounted cash
flows and pretax income over the  remaining  amortization  periods.  Should this
review  indicate  that  the  goodwill  balance  will  not  be  recoverable,  the
Division's  carrying  value of the goodwill will be reduced.  At March 29, 1997,
management  believes  its  goodwill  of  approximately  $15  million  was  fully
recoverable.
    
 
4.  RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS:

  Other Related-party Activities of the Division
 
     At March 29, 1997, Collins & Aikman Products Co. ("C&A Products"), a wholly
owned subsidiary of C&A, has pledged the ownership  interests in its significant
subsidiaries, including its partnership interests in JPS Automotive, as security
for debt of C&A Products totaling $458 million.
 
   
     C&A Products  currently  provides  general  administrative  services to JPS
Automotive pursuant to a preexisting Services Agreement assigned to C&A Products
by Foamex (the  "Existing  Services  Agreement").  In  connection  with the 1996
Acquisition,  C&A currently  contemplates an amendment to the Existing  Services
Agreement to expressly  provide that the services  provided by C&A Products will
include certain  administrative and management functions previously conducted by
JPS  Automotive.  For the period from March 30, 1997, to June 28, 1997,  and the
period from December 29, 1996, to March 29, 1997,  the Division was charged $207
thousand  and  $167   thousand,   respectively   by  C&A  Products  for  certain
administrative and management  services in accordance with the Existing Services
Agreement.

  Other Related-party Activities of the Predecessor Company
 
     The Predecessor  Company,  through JPS Automotive,  regularly  entered into
transactions with its affiliates in the ordinary course of business.
 
     In connection  with the 1994  Acquisition,  JPS  Automotive  entered into a
supply  agreement  (the  "Supply  Agreement")  with  Foamex  and  certain of its
affiliates.  Pursuant to the terms of the Supply Agreement, at the option of JPS
Automotive,  Foamex purchased certain raw materials which were necessary for the
manufacture of the  Predecessor  Company's  products,  and would resell such raw
materials  to  the  Predecessor  Company  at a  price  equal  to net  cost  plus
reasonable  out-of-pocket  expenses.  During the period from January 1, 1996, to
March 30, 1996, the Predecessor Company purchased  approximately $6.5 million of
raw materials under the Supply Agreement with Foamex.
 
     Prior to the 1996  Acquisition,  outstanding  borrowings of JPS  Automotive
under its term and revolving loan  arrangements  were allocated,  along with the
related  interest  expense and deferred debt issuance  costs, to the Predecessor
Company based on the ratio of the assets of the Predecessor Company which served
as  collateral  for  the  debt,  which  consisted  of  accounts  receivable  and
inventory,  to the  total  of the  assets  of JPS  Automotive  which  served  as
collateral for the debt. The Predecessor  Company was allocated interest expense
of approximately $144 thousand for the period from January 1, 1996, to March 30,
1996, associated with these borrowings.
 
5.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
 
     From  time to  time,  the  Division  has been  involved  in  various  legal
proceedings.  Management  believes that such litigation is routine in nature and
incidental to the conduct of its business, and that none of such litigation,  if
determined  adversely to the Division,  would have a material  adverse effect on
the financial condition or results of operations of the Division.
 
     The Division is subject to various federal,  state and local  environmental
laws and regulations that (i) affect ongoing operations and may increase capital
costs  and  operating  expenses  and  (ii)  impose  liability  for the  costs of
investigation  and  remediation and certain other damages related to on-site and
off-site  soil and  groundwater  contamination.  The  Division  believes  it has
obtained or applied for the material permits  necessary to conduct its business.
To date,  compliance with applicable  environmental laws has not had and, in the
opinion of management, based on the facts presently known to it, is not expected
to have a material  adverse  effect on the  Division's  financial  condition  or
results of operations.
 
     Although   not   named  as  a   potentially   responsible   party  for  any
environmentally  contaminated  sites,  the Division and the Predecessor  Company
accrued  environmental  costs  at  March  29,  1997,  and  March  30,  1996,  of
approximately  $325 thousand and $350 thousand,  respectively;  $48 thousand and
$50  thousand of which are  included in current  liabilities,  respectively.  In
addition,  at March 30, 1996, the  Predecessor  Company  recorded a $75 thousand
receivable for indemnification of environmental liabilities by JPS Textiles, the
former owner of JPS Automotive.
 
     Although it is possible that new information or future events could require
the  Division  to  reassess   its   potential   exposure   relating  to  pending
environmental  matters,  management  believes that, based on the facts presently
known  to it,  the  resolution  of such  environmental  matters  will not have a
material  adverse  effect on the  Division's  financial  condition or results of
operations.  The possibility exists, however, that new environmental legislation
may  be  passed  or   environmental   regulations  may  be  adopted,   or  other
environmental  conditions may be found to exist,  that may require  expenditures
not currently  anticipated which may be material,  and there can be no assurance
that  the  Division  has   identified   or  properly   assessed  all   potential
environmental liability arising from its activities or properties.

6.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT:
 
     On July 24, 1997, JPS Automotive  sold all of the assets of the Division to
Safety  Components  International,   Inc.  for  $56.3  million,   including  the
assumption of certain  liabilities  and subject to postclosing  adjustments.  In
addition,  the Company  made a payment to JPS at the closing to enable it to pay
off existing indebtedness of the Division of approximately $650,000 at closing.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Partners of JPS Automotive L.P.:
 
     We   have   audited   the   accompanying   balance   sheets   of  the   Air
Restraint/Industrial  Fabrics division of JPS Automotive L.P. as of December 28,
1996,  and  December  31,  1995,  and  the  related  statements  of  operations,
divisional  equity and cash flows for the period  from  December  12,  1996,  to
December 28, 1996,  the period from January 1, 1996,  to December 11, 1996,  the
year ended  December 31, 1995,  and the period from June 29, 1994, to January 1,
1995.  These  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of the  Company's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements based on our audits.
 
     We conducted  our audits in accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion,  the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of the Air Restraint/Industrial
Fabrics  division of JPS  Automotive  L.P. as of December 28, 1996, and December
31, 1995,  and the results of its  operations  and its cash flows for the period
from December 12, 1996,  to December 28, 1996,  the period from January 1, 1996,
to December 11, 1996, the year ended December 31, 1995, and the period from June
29, 1994, to January 1, 1995, in conformity with generally  accepted  accounting
principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.  ORGANIZATION:
 
     The Air  Restraint/Industrial  Fabrics  division of JPS Automotive L.P. and
subsidiaries  ("JPS  Automotive")   operates  in  the  automotive  products  and
industrial  fabrics  segments,  including  the design,  manufacture  and sale of
airbag fabric for passenger cars and light trucks and other specialty industrial
fabrics.
 
     On December 11, 1996, all of the  outstanding  equity of JPS Automotive was
acquired  from  Foamex  International,  Inc.  ("Foamex")  by  Collins  &  Aikman
Corporation  ("C&A"),  through its subsidiaries (the "1996  Acquisition").  (See
Note 3). In the accompanying financial statements, for periods subsequent to the
1996 Acquisition,  the Air Restraint/Industrial  Fabrics division is referred to
as the "Division."
 
     JPS  Automotive  was formed on May 17, 1994, for the purpose of acquiring a
100% ownership  interest in JPS Automotive  Products Corp.  ("Products  Corp."),
which was purchased for nominal consideration on May 25, 1994. On June 28, 1994,
subsidiaries  of  Foamex,  the  owners  of  all  partnership  interests  in  JPS
Automotive,  made  capital  contributions  to Products  Corp.  On June 28, 1994,
Products  Corp.  acquired the assets of the  automotive  products and industrial
fabrics  divisions  of JPS  Textile  Group,  Inc.  ("JPS  Textile")  (the  "1994
Acquisition").  Effective  October  3,  1994,  Products  Corp.  transferred  and
assigned  substantially  all of its assets,  subject to substantially all of its
liabilities, to JPS Automotive,  which agreed to assume such liabilities. In the
accompanying  financial statements,  for the periods from June 29, 1994, through
December 11, 1996, the Air Restraint/Industrial  Fabrics division is referred to
as the "Predecessor Company."
 
2.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
 
  The Division and the Predecessor Company
 
     The  balance  sheet  as  of  December  28,  1996,  and  the  statements  of
operations,  cash flows and  divisional  equity for the period from December 12,
1996,  to December 28, 1996,  pertain to the  Division.  The balance sheet as of
December 31, 1995, and the  statements of operations,  cash flows and divisional
equity for the period from January 1, 1996,  to December 11, 1996,  for the year
ended  December 31, 1995 and the period from June 29, 1994,  to January 1, 1995,
pertain to the Predecessor Company.
 
     Transfers of  operating  funds  between the  Division  (or the  Predecessor
Company) and JPS Automotive occur on a  noninterest-bearing  basis, with the net
amount  of these  transfers  reflected  as  investments  and  advances  from JPS
Automotive L.P. in the  accompanying  financial  statements.  The net balance in
investments and advances from JPS Automotive L.P. at December 28, 1996, of $51.4
million is classified as divisional equity in the accompanying balance sheet due
to the intent to forgive any net balance in  investments  and advances  from JPS
Automotive L.P. upon the sale of the Division by JPS Automotive.
 
     As indicated  above,  the  accompanying  financial  statements  present the
financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Division and the
Predecessor  Company as if it were a separate entity for all periods  presented.
In accordance with Staff  Accounting  Bulletin  ("SAB") No. 54 of the Securities
and Exchange  Commission,  JPS  Automotive's  investment in the Division (or the
Predecessor  Company) is reflected in the  financial  statements of the Division
and the  Predecessor  Company  ("pushdown  accounting")  during  the  applicable
periods.  The accompanying  financial  statements  reflect the allocation of the
purchase price in excess of the net assets  acquired on the same basis as in the
financial statements of JPS Automotive.
 
     For the periods up through  December 11, 1996, as required by SAB No. 73, a
portion of certain term and  revolving  bank debt and the related debt  issuance
costs  and  interest  expense  of  JPS  Automotive  has  been  allocated  to the
Predecessor Company as a result of certain of the Predecessor  Company's assets,
which consist of accounts receivable and inventory, serving as security for such
debt. The debt was retired in connection with the 1996 Acquisition (see Note 7).
The  allocations  have  been  made  based  upon the  ratio of the  assets of the
Predecessor  Company which served as collateral for the debt to the total of the
assets of JPS

     Automotive  which served as collateral for the debt.  The average  interest
rates on this debt for the period from  January 1, 1996,  to December  11, 1996,
the year ended  December 31, 1995, and the period from June 29, 1994, to January
1, 1995, were 9.3%, 9.2% and 10.4%, respectively. Interest has not been computed
on the remaining intercompany balances.
 
     JPS Automotive  performed  certain  services and incurred certain costs for
the Division and the Predecessor  Company.  Services  provided include treasury,
risk management,  employee benefits, legal services, data processing, credit and
collections  and other  general  corporate  services.  The costs of the services
provided  by JPS  Automotive  have  been  allocated  to  the  Division  and  the
Predecessor  Company based upon a combination  of estimated use and the relative
sales of the business to the total operations of JPS Automotive. Costs allocated
to the  Division  and the  Predecessor  Company  for  these  services  were  $39
thousand,  $1  million,  $1.1  million  and $399  thousand  for the period  from
December 12, 1996,  to December  28, 1996,  the period from January 1, 1996,  to
December 11, 1996,  the year ended  December 31, 1995,  and the period from June
29, 1994, to January 1, 1995,  respectively.  In the opinion of management,  the
method of  allocating  these costs is believed to be  reasonable.  However,  the
costs of these services charged to the Division and the Predecessor  Company are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the costs that would have been  incurred if the
Division or the Predecessor Company had performed these functions.
 
     JPS  Automotive  administered  its insurance  programs on a  corporate-wide
basis and charged its individual participating  subsidiaries and divisions based
on estimated claims and loss experience.  Costs charged by JPS Automotive to the
Division  and the  Predecessor  Company for  automotive  and general  liability,
workers' compensation and employee group health claims and insurance amounted to
$60 thousand,  $1.4  million,  $1.9 million and $614 thousand in the period from
December 12, 1996,  to December  28, 1996,  the period from January 1, 1996,  to
December 11, 1996,  the year ended  December 31, 1995,  and the period from June
29,  1994 to January 1, 1995,  respectively.  The  accompanying  balance  sheets
include amounts for automotive and general liability,  workers' compensation and
employee group health claims.
 
     Collins & Aikman Products Co. ("C&A  Products"),  a wholly owned subsidiary
of C&A,  currently  provides general  administrative  services to JPS Automotive
pursuant to a preexisting  Services Agreement assigned to C&A Products by Foamex
(the "Existing Services  Agreement").  For the period from December 12, 1996, to
December 28,  1996,  no amounts  were paid or accrued by JPS  Automotive  or the
Division under this agreement.
 
3.  JPS AUTOMOTIVE ACQUISITIONS:
 
  The 1996 Acquisition
 
     As  discussed  in  Note  1,  on  December  11,  1996,   C&A,   through  its
subsidiaries, acquired JPS Automotive from Foamex pursuant to an Equity Purchase
Agreement  dated August 28,  1996,  as amended  December 11, 1996.  The purchase
price for the 1996 Acquisition was an aggregate of  approximately  $220 million,
subject to postclosing  adjustment,  consisting of approximately $195 million of
indebtedness  of JPS  Automotive and  approximately  $25 million in cash paid to
Foamex.
 
     The 1996 Acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and,  pursuant to
the  provisions  of SAB No. 54 and the rules of  pushdown  accounting,  the 1996
Acquisition  gave  rise to a new basis of  accounting  for JPS  Automotive.  The
purchase price and related  acquisition  expenses exceeded the fair value of the
net assets acquired by approximately  $126.4 million,  which was pushed down and
recorded by JPS Automotive as goodwill and is being amortized over 40 years. The
allocation  of the total  purchase  price to the  Division  resulted in reported
goodwill of $15.0 million related to the 1996 Acquisition.
 
     In addition to the pushdown of goodwill,  adjustments to certain assets and
liabilities  of the  Predecessor  Company were  recorded as a result of the 1996
Acquisition and the application of pushdown accounting. A

</TABLE>
 
     The above  December 12, 1996,  balances,  which are subject to  postclosing
adjustment,  reflect the revaluation of the Division's assets and liabilities to
their estimated fair values at the date of the 1996 Acquisition.
 
     Unaudited  pro forma net income of the Division for the period from January
1, 1996,  to  December  28,  1996,  and for the year ended  December  31,  1995,
assuming  that the 1996  Acquisition  occurred at the  beginning of each period,
would have been  approximately  $3.8  million and  approximately  $6.4  million,
respectively.  The pro forma  adjustments,  which  would not  affect  net sales,
reflect  primarily  reduced  depreciation,  goodwill  amortization  and interest
expense offset by the pro forma impact of income taxes.
 
  The 1994 Acquisition
 
     On June 28, 1994, JPS Automotive  acquired the businesses and assets of the
automotive  products  and  industrial  fabrics  divisions  of JPS  Textile.  The
acquired assets included property, plant and equipment,  inventories and certain
contract  rights,  as well as certain stock and limited and general  partnership
interests in joint ventures. As a part of the 1994 Acquisition,  agreements were
reached  relating  to the  purchase  of assets,  the  granting  of a  reciprocal
easement, a provision for certain services,  the supply of certain materials and
the sharing of taxes.  The 1994 Acquisition was made pursuant to the terms of an
asset  purchase  agreement,  dated  as of May  25,  1994  (the  "Asset  Purchase
Agreement"),  by and among JPS Textile, its affiliates and Foamex. The aggregate
consideration  for the 1994  Acquisition  was  $290.3  million,  which  included
acquisition  costs of $8.3 million and the assumption of long-term debt of $15.6
million. The cost of the acquisition was allocated on the estimated basis of the
fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities  assumed.  The acquisition
was  funded  by (i) the net  proceeds  from the sale by JPS  Automotive  of $180
million  principal amount of its 11 1/8% Senior Notes due 2001 ("Senior Notes"),
(ii) $90 million in cash and (iii) the net  proceeds of $10 million in term loan
borrowings by JPS Automotive.  Goodwill was  approximately  $168 million,  which
included  1995 payments of  approximately  $4.5 million in settlement of certain
matters contained in the Asset Purchase  Agreement and a 1995 adjustment of $5.6
million to adjust the original estimated appraised values of property, plant and
equipment.  As a result of the allocation of the total purchase price,  goodwill
reported by the Predecessor Company from the 1994 Acquisition was $42.6 million,
which included $2.2 million relating to the 1995 payments and adjustments.

4.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
  Fiscal Year
 
     As a result of the 1996 Acquisition, the Division's fiscal year ends on the
last Saturday of December.  Prior to that time, the Predecessor Company's fiscal
year ended on the Sunday closest to the thirty-first day of December.
 
  Accounting Estimates
 
     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities at the
date of the  financial  statements  and the  reported  amounts of  revenues  and
expenses  during the reported  period.  Actual  results  could differ from those
estimates.
  
Cash
 
     The Division and the Predecessor  Company were a party to JPS  Automotive's
centralized  cash  management   system  pursuant  to  which  cash  receipts  and
disbursements  were processed on a combined  basis.  Accordingly,  for financial
reporting  purposes,  the only  amounts  presented in the  accompanying  balance
sheets as cash are petty cash funds,  with amounts for  unapplied  cash receipts
and  outstanding  disbursement  checks  presented as a component  of  divisional
equity.
 
  Inventories
 
     Inventories  are  stated  at the lower of cost or  market.  The cost of the
inventories is determined on a first-in, first-out basis.
 
  Property, Plant and Equipment
 
     Property,  plant and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using
the  straight-line  method over the  estimated  useful lives of the assets.  The
range of useful lives  estimated for buildings is 25 to 40 years,  and the range
for  machinery,   equipment  and  furnishings  is  3  to  15  years.   Leasehold
improvements  are  amortized  over the  shorter of the terms for the  respective
leases or the  estimated  lives of the  leasehold  improvements.  For income tax
reporting purposes, the Division uses accelerated depreciation methods.
 
     Cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred. Renewals
and improvements are capitalized.  Upon retirement or other disposition of items
of plant and equipment,  cost of items and related accumulated  depreciation are
removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations.
 
     In connection with the 1996 Acquisition, the Division's property, plant and
equipment was recorded at the appraised values reflecting the intended future
use of the facilities and equipment.
 
  Long-Lived Assets
 
     In 1996, the Predecessor Company adopted Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 121,  "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and  for  Long-Lived  Assets  to be  Disposed  Of."  SFAS  No.  121  establishes
accounting   standards  for  the  impairment  of  long-lived   assets,   certain
identifiable  intangibles  and  goodwill  related to those assets to be held and
used,  and for  long-lived  assets and certain  identifiable  intangibles  to be
disposed  of.  SFAS  No.  121  requires  that  long-lived   assets  and  certain
identifiable  intangibles  to be held  and used by an  entity  be  reviewed  for
impairment  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable  and that certain  long-lived
assets and  identifiable  intangibles to be disposed of be reported at the lower
of carrying

amount or fair value less cost to sell.  The  adoption  of SFAS No. 121 did
not have a material impact on the Predecessor Company's results of operations.
 
     As a result of its ongoing  assessment  of  long-lived  assets,  during the
period from  January 1, 1996,  to December  11, 1996,  the  Predecessor  Company
recorded a charge of  approximately  $117 thousand for the write-down of certain
machinery and equipment to their estimated  realizable values as the assets were
assessed by management to have no  continuing  use. The  write-down of machinery
and  equipment is included in other income  (expense),  net in the  accompanying
statement of operations.
 
  Debt Issuance Costs
 
     Debt  issuance  costs  recorded  by  the  Predecessor  Company  reflect  an
allocation of certain amounts incurred by JPS Automotive in obtaining  financing
under the term and revolving  bank debt  discussed in Notes 2 and 7. These costs
are  amortized  over the term of the  related  debt using the  interest  method.
Accumulated  amortization  as of  December  31,  1995,  was  approximately  $214
thousand.
 
     In connection with the 1996  Acquisition  and the subsequent  retirement of
debt,  the debt issuance  costs  allocated to the Division were  eliminated as a
result of the application of pushdown accounting (see Notes 2 and 3).
 
  Goodwill
 
     As discussed in Note 3, the  acquisition  of JPS Automotive by C&A has been
accounted  for as a  purchase  and,  pursuant  to SAB No.  54 and the  rules  of
pushdown  accounting,  gave rise to a new basis of  accounting.  As a result,  a
proportionate  share  of the  JPS  Automotive  goodwill  relating  to  the  1996
Acquisition was allocated to the Division.  The goodwill is being amortized over
a 40-year  period,  and  accumulated  amortization  as of December 28, 1996, was
approximately  $32  thousand.  The carrying  value of goodwill  will be reviewed
periodically  based on the  undiscounted  cash flows and pretax  income over the
remaining  amortization  period.  Should this review  indicate that the goodwill
balance will not be recoverable,  the Division's carrying value of goodwill will
be reduced.  At December  28,  1996,  management  believes the goodwill is fully
recoverable.
 
     The  Predecessor  Company's  allocation  of  the  JPS  Automotive  goodwill
relating to the 1994  Acquisition was amortized using the  straight-line  method
over a 40-year period (see Note 3). Accumulated  amortization as of December 31,
1995, was approximately $1.6 million.
 
  Environmental Matters
 
     The Division records its best estimate when it believes it is probable that
an  environmental  liability  has been  incurred  and the  amount of loss can be
reasonably   estimated.   The  Division  also  considers  estimates  of  certain
reasonably  possible  environmental  liabilities  in  determining  the aggregate
amount of environmental  reserves.  Accruals for  environmental  liabilities are
generally  included  in the balance  sheet as other  noncurrent  liabilities  at
undiscounted  amounts and exclude claims for recoveries  from insurance or other
third  parties.  Accruals for  insurance  or other  third-party  recoveries  for
environmental  liabilities  are recorded when it is probable that the claim will
be realized.
 
  Postemployment Benefits
 
     Effective  June 29, 1994,  the  Predecessor  Company  adopted SFAS No. 112,
"Employers'  Accounting  for  Post-Employment  Benefits."  Under this  method of
accounting,  benefits are accrued when it becomes  probable  that such  benefits
will be paid and when sufficient information exists to make reasonable estimates
of the amounts to be paid.

  Revenue Recognition
 
     The Division  recognizes revenue from product sales when it has shipped the
goods or ownership has been transferred to the customer for goods to be held for
future shipment at the customer's  request.  The Division  generally  allows its
customers  the  right of  return  only in the case of  defective  products.  The
Division provides a reserve for estimated defective product based on sales.
 
  Income Taxes
 
     Income taxes for all periods are  determined  in  accordance  with SFAS No.
109,  "Accounting  for  Income  Taxes."  SFAS No.  109  requires  the use of the
liability  method in which  deferred  income taxes are  provided  for  temporary
differences  between the financial  reporting and income tax basis of assets and
liabilities using the income tax rates, under existing legislation,  expected to
be in effect at the date such temporary differences are expected to reverse.
 
     Immediately  prior to the 1996  Acquisition,  JPS  Automotive was converted
from a Delaware limited  partnership  into an association  which is taxable as a
corporation for federal,  state and local income tax purposes. JPS Automotive is
included in the consolidated  federal income tax return of C&A. Income taxes for
periods  subsequent  to  the  1996  Acquisition  reflect  the  pushdown  of  the
Division's impact on the consolidated tax position of C&A.
 
     Prior to the 1996 Acquisition,  JPS Automotive,  as a limited  partnership,
was not subject to federal income taxes and,  therefore,  no current or deferred
income  tax  provision  has been  provided  for such  taxes in the  accompanying
financial statements of the Predecessor Company.
 
     JPS Automotive had a tax-sharing agreement that provided for payment to the
partners of amounts that would be required to be paid if JPS Automotive were a
corporation filing separate income tax returns. At the time of the 1996
Acquisition, Foamex assigned to C&A Products the tax-sharing agreement.
 
  Newly Issued Accounting Standard
 
     In October 1996,  the American  Institute of Certified  Public  Accountants
issued   Statement  of  Position   ("SOP")  96-1,   "Environmental   Remediation
Liabilities." SOP 96-1 provides  authoritative  guidance on specific  accounting
issues  related to the  recognition,  measurement,  display  and  disclosure  of
environmental  remediation  liabilities.  SOP 96-1  addresses only those actions
undertaken  in response to a threat of  litigation  or assertion of a claim.  It
does not address  accounting for pollution control costs with respect to current
operations  or for costs of future site  restoration  on closure  required  upon
cessation of operations.  SOP 96-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1996.  The Division  does not expect that adoption of this standard
will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

  Equipment Financing
 
     Certain equipment has been purchased with financing provided by a financial
institution.  Although  JPS  Automotive  is  the  actual  borrower  under  these
agreements,  the  liabilities  for this  financing  have been  reflected  in the
accompanying  balance sheets since the liabilities are secured by the Division's
and the Predecessor Company's equipment.  The financing agreements bear interest
between  8.05%  and 9.67% and  amounts  are  payable  in  monthly  installments.
Interest  expense of $0, $100 thousand,  $165 thousand and $110 thousand for the
period from December 12, 1996, to December 28, 1996,  the period from January 1,
1996,  to December 11, 1996,  the year ended  December 31, 1995,  and the period

  Allocation of JPS Automotive Term and Revolving Loans
 
     In conjunction  with the 1994  Acquisition,  JPS Automotive  entered into a
credit  agreement  which  provided for loans of up to $35 million,  of which $10
million was available as a term loan and up to $25 million was available under a
revolving  line  of  credit.  In  connection  with  the  1996  Acquisition,  the

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
borrowings  at December 11, 1996,  of $9.2 million under the term loan were
repaid.  At December 11, 1996,  there were no outstanding  borrowings  under the
revolving line of credit. The credit agreement was subsequently terminated.

     As discussed in Note 2, outstanding  borrowings of JPS Automotive under the
term and revolving  loan  arrangements  were  allocated,  along with the related
interest  expense and deferred debt issuance costs,  to the Predecessor  Company
based on the ratio of the  assets of the  Predecessor  Company  which  served as
collateral for the debt,  which consisted of accounts  receivable and inventory,
to the total of the assets of JPS Automotive  which served as collateral for the
debt.  At December  31, 1995,  the  accompanying  balance  sheet  includes  $498
thousand of  unamortized  deferred debt issuance  costs and $6.2 million of debt
allocated to the Predecessor  Company  associated with these loans. In addition,
the Predecessor  Company was allocated  interest expense of  approximately  $552
thousand,  $594  thousand and $316 thousand for the period from January 1, 1996,
to December 11, 1996, the year ended December 31, 1995, and the period from June
29, 1994 to January 1, 1995, respectively, associated with these borrowings.
 
8.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:
 
     The 1996  Acquisition  did not  significantly  affect the employee  benefit
plans offered to the employees of the Division.
 
  Defined Benefit Pension Plan
 
     Effective January 1, 1995, the Predecessor  Company began  participating in
the Retirement  Pension Plan for Employees of JPS  Automotive  L.P. (the "Plan")
for salaried and certain hourly employees.  Benefits are based on the employees'
final average  compensation,  years of benefit service, the covered compensation
in effect at retirement and the employees' ages when payment begins. Actuarially
determined  calculations  for the  Division  and the  Predecessor  Company  as a
stand-alone entity are included in the accompanying financial statements.
 
     As part of the 1996 Acquisition,  the Division recognized all prior service
cost, net losses and minimum liabilities.  Accordingly, the period from December
12,  1996,  to December  28,  1996,  does not reflect  any net  amortization  or
deferrals.
 
     The actuarially determined net periodic pension cost includes the following

  Defined Contribution Plan
 
     The Division participates in JPS Automotive's defined contribution plan
     which  qualifies  under  Section  401(k)  of the  IRC and  covers  eligible
employees.   Employee   contributions  are  voluntary  and  subject  to  certain
limitations as imposed by the IRC. The Division, through JPS Automotive, makes a
matching  contribution  of 25% of each  employee's  contribution  with a maximum
matching  contribution  of 1 1/2%  of each  employee's  base  compensation.  The
Predecessor  Company,  through JPS  Automotive,  also provided an additional 25%
match of each employee's  contribution to a fund which invested in Foamex common
stock with a maximum  contribution of 3% of each  employee's base  compensation.
The contributions of the Division and the Predecessor Company were approximately
$5 thousand for the period from  December 12,  1996,  to December 28, 1996,  $86
thousand for the period from January 1, 1996, to December 11, 1996, $51 thousand
for the year ended  December 31, 1995, and $21 thousand for the period from June
29, 1994, to January 1, 1995.

  Postretirement Benefits
 
     JPS  Automotive  provides  postretirement  health  care and life  insurance
benefits for eligible employees and retirees of the Division and retirees of the
Predecessor  Company.  These plans are unfunded,  and JPS Automotive retains the
right to modify or eliminate these benefits. Actuarially determined calculations
for the  Division  and the  Predecessor  Company  as a  stand-alone  entity  are
included in the accompanying financial statements.

</TABLE>
 
     As part of the 1996  Acquisition,  the Division  recognized  all previously
unrecognized net gains and losses.
 
     Since JPS Automotive has capped its annual liability per person and all
future cost increases will be passed on to retirees, the annual rate of increase
in health care costs does not affect the Division's postretirement benefit
obligation. The discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation as of December 28, 1996, and December 31, 1995, was 7.5% and
7.8%, respectively.
 
  Postemployment Benefits
 
     JPS  Automotive  provides  certain  postemployment  benefits  to  former or
inactive  employees  of the  Division  and the  Predecessor  Company  and  their
dependents during the time period following employment but before retirement. On
June 29, 1994, the  Predecessor  Company  adopted SFAS No. 112. The  Predecessor
Company's  adoption  of SFAS No.  112 did not have a  significant  impact on the
consolidated statements of operations. As of December 28, 1996, and December 31,
1995,  the  Division's  and the  Predecessor  Company's  actuarially  determined
portion of the liability for  postemployment  benefits was $26 thousand for each
period and is  included  in other  noncurrent  liabilities  in the  accompanying
balance sheets.
 
9.  INCOME TAXES:
 
     Immediately  prior to the 1996  Acquisition,  JPS  Automotive was converted
from a Delaware limited  partnership  into an association  which is taxable as a
corporation  for federal,  state and local income tax purposes.  JPS  Automotive
remains a Delaware  limited  partnership for all purposes other than federal and
state income taxes.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
     The  Division,  through JPS  Automotive,  is  included in the  consolidated
federal  income tax return of C&A.  Income taxes for periods  subsequent  to the
1996  Acquisition   reflect  the  pushdown  of  the  Division's  impact  on  the
consolidated tax position of C&A, which  approximate  income taxes computed on a
separate  return  basis.  Income  taxes  for  the  periods  prior  to  the  1996
Acquisition are provided on a separate return basis. As discussed in Note 4, JPS
Automotive was a party to a tax-sharing  agreement with Foamex that was assigned
to C&A Products at the time of the 1996  Acquisition.  Although no payments were
made by JPS  Automotive to either Foamex or C&A Products  under the  tax-sharing
agreement as a result of consolidated operations from June 29, 1994, to December
28, 1996,  calculation  of income taxes on a stand-alone  basis for the Division
and the Predecessor  Company in accordance with the tax-sharing  agreement would
have resulted in  obligations  to Foamex of  approximately  $2.0 million for the
period from June 29, 1994, to January 1, 1995, and  approximately  $270 thousand
for the year ended  December 31, 1995.  No amounts would have been payable under
the  tax-sharing  agreement for the period from January 1, 1996, to December 11,
1996.
 
     Components  of the  provision  for  income  taxes  subsequent  to the  1996
Acquisition are summarized as follows (in thousands):

     As a result of the change in JPS Automotive's tax status that resulted from
the 1996  Acquisition,  deferred tax assets and  liabilities are provided on the
temporary  differences  between  the  financial  reporting  and tax bases of the
Division's  assets and liabilities.  While the equity purchase of JPS Automotive
results in carryover tax basis in the assets,  such carryover basis reflects the
fair market value as a result of the deemed taxable sale and revaluation to fair

  Operating Leases
 
     The Division is obligated under various  noncancelable lease agreements for
rental of machinery and computer equipment which remained outstanding  following
the 1996  Acquisition.  Many of the leases contain  renewal options with varying
terms and  escalation  clauses that  provide for  increased  rentals  based upon
increases in the Consumer Price Index, real estate taxes and lessors'  operating
expenses.  Total minimum rental  commitments  required under operating leases at

  Other Related-party Activities of the Division
 
     At December 28, 1996,  C&A Products has pledged the ownership  interests in

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
     As  discussed  in  Note  2,  C&A  Products   currently   provides   general
administrative  services to JPS  Automotive  pursuant to the  Existing  Services
Agreement.  In connection with the 1996 Acquisition,  C&A currently contemplates
an amendment to the Existing  Services  Agreement to expressly  provide that the
services  provided by C&A  Products  will  include  certain  administrative  and
management functions previously conducted by JPS Automotive. For the period from
December 12, 1996,  to December 28, 1996, no amounts were paid or accrued by the
Division.
 
  Other Related-party Activities of the Predecessor Company
 
     The Predecessor  Company,  through JPS Automotive,  regularly  entered into
transactions with its affiliates in the ordinary course of business.
 
     In connection  with the 1994  Acquisition,  JPS  Automotive  entered into a
supply  agreement  (the  "Supply  Agreement")  with  Foamex  and  certain of its
affiliates.  Pursuant to the terms of the Supply Agreement, at the option of JPS
Automotive, Foamex would purchase certain raw materials which were necessary for
the manufacture of the Predecessor Company's products, and resell such materials
to the  Predecessor  Company  at a  price  equal  to net  cost  plus  reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses.  During the period from January 1, 1996, to December 11,
1996,  the year ended  December 31, 1995,  and the period from June 29, 1994, to
January 1, 1995, the Predecessor  Company  purchased $20.2 million,  $33 million
and $0, respectively, of raw materials under the Supply Agreement with Foamex.
 
12.  ENVIRONMENTAL:
 
     The Division is subject to various federal,  state and local  environmental
laws and regulations that (i) affect ongoing operations and may increase capital
costs  and  operating  expenses  and  (ii)  impose  liability  for the  costs of
investigation  and  remediation and certain other damages related to on-site and
off-site  soil and  groundwater  contamination.  The  Division  believes  it has
obtained or applied for the material permits  necessary to conduct its business.
To date,  compliance with applicable  environmental laws has not had and, in the
opinion of management, based on the facts presently known to it, is not expected
to have a material  adverse  effect on the  Division's  financial  condition  or
results of operations.
 
     Although   not   named  as  a   potentially   responsible   party  for  any
environmentally  contaminated  sites,  the Division and the Predecessor  Company
accrued  environmental  costs at December  28, 1996,  and December 31, 1995,  of
approximately  $325 thousand and $354 thousand,  respectively,  $48 thousand and
$54  thousand  of which is  included in current  liabilities,  respectively.  In
addition,  as of December  31, 1995,  JPS  Automotive  had a receivable  of $500
thousand for  indemnification  of  environmental  liabilities  from JPS Textile,
former  owner of JPS  Automotive,  of which $75  thousand  was  allocated to and
included in noncurrent assets of the Predecessor  Company based on an allocation
of  the  total  JPS  Automotive   environmental   liability.  The  environmental
receivable  was written off during the period from January 1, 1996,  to December
11, 1996, as JPS  Automotive  management  believes that the  realization  of the
receivable established for indemnification is remote.

     Although it is possible that new information or future events could require
the  Division  to  reassess   its   potential   exposure   relating  to  pending
environmental  matters,  management  believes that, based on the facts presently
known  to it,  the  resolution  of such  environmental  matters  will not have a
material  adverse  effect on the  Division's  financial  condition or results of
operations.  The possibility exists, however, that new environmental legislation
may  be  passed  or   environmental   regulations  may  be  adopted,   or  other
environmental  conditions may be found to exist,  that may require  expenditures
not currently  anticipated which may be material,  and there can be no assurance
that  the  Division  has   identified   or  properly   assessed  all   potential
environmental liability arising from its activities or properties.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
13.  LITIGATION:
 
     From  time to  time,  the  Division  has been  involved  in  various  legal
proceedings.  Management  believes that such litigation is routine in nature and
incidental to the conduct of its business, and that none of such litigation,  if
determined  adversely to the Division,  would have a material  adverse effect on
the financial condition or results of operations of the Division.
 
14.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CONCENTRATION OF RISK:
 
  Concentration of Credit Risk
 
     Financial instruments which potentially subject the Division to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable.
 
     The Division's customers operate primarily in the automotive and industrial
fabrics  industries.  The Division  performs  ongoing credit  evaluations of its
customers  and generally  does not require  collateral.  The Division  maintains
allowance  accounts  for  potential  losses  and such  losses  have been  within
management's  expectations.  The  percentage  of  sales to the  three  principal
customers were as follows:

     The Division's  exposure to credit risk associated with nonpayment by these
customers  is  affected  by  conditions  or  occurrences  primarily  within  the
automotive and industrial fabrics segments.  Substantially all trade receivables
from these three customers were current at December 28, 1996.
 
  Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
     The  carrying  amounts  reported in the balance  sheets for the  Division's
financial instruments, which consist primarily of accounts receivable,  accounts
payable,  accrued liabilities and long-term debt approximate fair value based on
the  Division's  assessment  of available  market  information  and  appropriate
valuation  methodologies.  Fair value  estimates are made at a specific point in
time,  based on relevant  market  information  about the financial  instruments.
These estimates are subjective in nature and involve  uncertainties  and matters
of significant  judgment and,  therefore,  cannot be determined  with precision.
Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

  Reliance on Principal Supplier
 
     One  supplier  currently  supplies  substantially  all  of  the  Division's
requirements  for nylon yarn,  the principal raw material used in the Division's
airbag products. While the Division believes that there are adequate alternative
sources of supply from which it could fulfill its nylon yarn  requirements,  the
unanticipated  termination  of the  current  supply  arrangement  or a prolonged
interruption in shipments could have a material adverse effect on the Division.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Shareholders of
       Collins & Aikman Corporation:
 
     We have audited the accompanying  statements of income,  divisional  equity
and cash flows of the Air Restraint/Industrial Fabrics (the "Division") Division
of JPS Textile Group, Inc. ("JPS Textile") for the period from December 26, 1993
to June 28, 1994.  These  financial  statements  are the  responsibility  of the
Division's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to  express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
 
     We conducted  our audit in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     As more  fully  discussed  in Note 2, to these  financial  statements,  the
Division  was  acquired by Foamex  International,  Inc. on June 28, 1994 and the
Division  subsequently  was  acquired  in 1996 by  Collins & Aikman  Corporation
("C&A").  In June 1997 C&A entered into a letter of intent to sell the Division.
These financial statements do not include any adjustments arising from such sale
transactions.
 
     In our opinion,  the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the results of operations,  divisional equity and cash
flows of the Air  Restraint/Industrial  Fabrics  Division of JPS Textile  Group,
Inc.  from  December 26, 1993 to June 28, 1994,  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

                      DIVISION OF JPS TEXTILE GROUP, INC.
 
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.  ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
     The Air  Restraint/Industrial  Fabrics  Division  (the  "Division")  of JPS
Textile Group,  Inc.  ("JPS  Textile")  operates in the automotive  products and
industrial  fabrics  segments,  including  the design,  manufacture  and sale of
airbag fabric for passenger cars and light trucks and other specialty industrial
fabrics.
 
     The statements of income,  divisional  equity and cash flows for the period
from December 26, 1993 to June 28, 1994 pertain to the Division.
 
2.  DIVISION ACQUISITIONS
 
     JPS Automotive L.P. ("JPS  Automotive") was formed on May 17, 1994, for the
purpose of acquiring a 100% ownership interest in JPS Automotive  Products Corp.
("Products  Corp."),  which was purchased for nominal  consideration  on May 25,
1994. On June 28, 1994,  subsidiaries of Foamex International,  Inc. ("Foamex"),
the  owners  of all  partnership  interests  in  JPS  Automotive,  made  capital
contributions  to Products Corp. On June 28, 1994,  Products Corp.  acquired the
assets of the  automotive  products  and  industrial  fabrics  divisions  of JPS
Textile.  Effective  October 3, 1994,  Products Corp.  transferred  and assigned
substantially   all  of  its  assets,   subject  to  substantially  all  of  its
liabilities, to JPS Automotive,  which agreed to assume such liabilities. In the
accompanying financial statements, the Air Restraint/Industrial Fabrics division
is referred to as the Division.
 
     On December 11, 1996, all of the  outstanding  equity of JPS Automotive was
acquired  from  Foamex by  Collins & Aikman  Corporation  ("C&A"),  through  its
subsidiaries.
 
     On July 24,  1997,  C&A sold all of the  assets of the  Division  to Safety
Components   International  Inc.  for  $56.3  million  in  cash,  including  the
assumption of certain  liabilities  and subject to postclosing  adjustments.  In
addition, Safety Components International, Inc. made a payment to JPS Automotive
at the closing to enable it to pay off existing  indebtedness of the Division of
approximately $650,000 at the closing.
 
     Transfers of operating  funds between the Division and JPS Textile occur on
a noninterest-bearing basis, with the net amount of these transfers reflected as
investments  and advances from JPS Textile.  The net balance in investments  and
advances  from JPS Textile at June 28, 1994 and  December  25, 1993 of $18.8 and
$17.8  million,   respectively,  is  classified  as  divisional  equity  in  the
accompanying balance sheets.
 
     As indicated  above,  the  accompanying  financial  statements  present the
results of  operations  and cash flows of the  Division as if it were a separate
entity for the period presented.
 
     For the  period  ended  June 28,  1994,  as  required  by Staff  Accounting
Bulletin No. 73 of the Securities and Exchange Commission,  a portion of certain
term and revolving bank debt interest  expense of JPS Textile has been allocated
to the Division as a result of certain of the Division's  assets,  which consist
of accounts  receivable  and  inventory,  serving as security for such debt. The
allocations  have been made based  upon the ratio of the assets of the  Division
which  served as  collateral  for such  debt to the  total of the  assets of JPS
Textile which served as collateral  for the debt.  The average  interest rate on
this debt for the period ended June 28, 1994, was approximately 7%. Interest has
not been computed on the remaining intercompany balances.
 
     JPS Textile  performed  certain services and incurred certain costs for the
Division.   Services  provided  include  treasury,  risk  management,   employee
benefits,  legal  services,  data  processing,  credit and collections and other
general  corporate  services.  The costs of the services provided by JPS Textile
have been  allocated to the Division  based upon a combination  of estimated use
and the relative  sales of the business to the total  operations of JPS Textile.
Costs  allocated to the Division for these  services  were $908 thousand for the
period  ended  June 28,  1994.  In the  opinion  of  management,  the  method of
allocating these costs is believed to be

reasonable.  However,  the costs of these services  charged to the Division
are not necessarily indicative of the costs that would have been incurred if the
Division had performed these functions.
 
3.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Accounting Estimates
 
     The  preparation of the Division  financial  statements in conformity  with
generally accepted  accounting  principles requires management to make estimates
and  assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial  statements  and the reported  amounts of revenues and
expenses  during the reported  period.  Actual  results  could differ from those
estimates.
 
Environmental Matters
 
     The Division records its best estimate when it believes it is probable that
an  environmental  liability  has been  incurred  and the  amount of loss can be
reasonably   estimated.   The  Division  also  considers  estimates  of  certain
reasonably  possible  environmental  liabilities  in  determining  the aggregate
amount of environmental  reserves.  Accruals for  environmental  liabilities are
generally  included  in the balance  sheet as other  noncurrent  liabilities  at
undiscounted  amounts and exclude claims for recoveries  from insurance or other
third  parties.  Accruals for  insurance  or other  third-party  recoveries  for
environmental  liabilities  are recorded when it is probable that the claim will
be realized.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
     The Division  recognizes revenue from product sales when it has shipped the
goods or ownership has been transferred to the customer for goods to be held for
future shipment at the customer's  request.  The Division  generally  allows its
customers  the  right of  return  only in the case of  defective  products.  The
Division provides a reserve for estimated defective products based on sales.
 
Income Taxes
 
     Income taxes for all periods are determined in accordance with SFAS No.109,
"Accounting  for Income  Taxes".  SFAS No.109  requires the use of the liability
method in which deferred income taxes are provided on the temporary  differences
between the financial  reporting and income tax basis of assets and  liabilities
using the income tax rates, under existing legislation, expected to be in effect
at the date such temporary differences are expected to reverse.  Income taxes of
the  Division  for the period  ended June 28, 1994 are computed as if it filed a
separate tax return.
 
Newly Issued Accounting Standard
 
     In October 1996,  the American  Institute of Certified  Public  Accountants
issued   Statement  of  Position   ("SOP")  96-1,   "Environmental   Remediation
Liabilities".  SOP 96-1 provides  authoritative  guidance on specific accounting
issues  related to the  recognition,  measurement,  display  and  disclosure  of
environmental  remediation  liabilities.  SOP 96-1  addresses only those actions
undertaken  in response to a threat of  litigation  or assertion of a claim.  It
does not address  accounting for pollution control costs with respect to current
operations  or for costs of future site  restoration  on closure  required  upon
cessation of operations.  SOP 96-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1996.  The Division does not expect  adoption of this standard will
have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

4.  BENEFIT PLANS
 
  Defined Benefit Pension Plan
 
     Substantially  all of the  Division's  employees  are  covered  by  defined
benefit  pension  plans  sponsored by JPS  Textile.  The plans  provide  pension
benefits that are based on the employees' compensation during the last ten years
of employment. The Division's policy is to fund the annual contribution required
by applicable regulations. Expense for the Defined Benefit Pension Plans was not
material.
 
  401(k) Savings Plans
 
     The  Division  also  participated  in  JPS  Textile's  salaried  employees'
savings,  investment  and  profit-sharing  plan which is  available to employees
meeting eligibility  requirements.  The Division's expense was approximately $20
thousand for the period ended June 28, 1994.
 
  Postretirement Benefits
 
     The  Division  provides  postretirement  health  care  and  life  insurance
benefits for eligible  employees and retirees of the  Division.  These plans are
unfunded,  and the  Division  retains  the right to modify  or  eliminate  these
benefits.  Actuarially  determined  calculations  for  the  Division  and  as  a
stand-alone entity are included in the accompanying financial statements.
 
     Expense  for the  period  ended June 28,  1994  totaled  approximately  $40
thousand.
 
     Since JPS Textile has capped its annual liability per person and all future
cost  increases  will be passed on to  retirees,  the annual rate of increase in
health  care  costs  does  not  affect  the  Division's  postretirement  benefit
obligation.
 
5.  INCOME TAXES
 
     The  provision for income taxes for the period ended June 28, 1994 includes
the following:

6.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
  Operating Leases
 
     The Division is obligated under various  noncancelable lease agreements for
rental of machinery and computer  equipment.  Many of the leases contain renewal
options with varying  terms and  escalation  clauses that provide for  increased
rentals based upon increases in the Consumer Price Index, real estate taxes and
 
                                      F-36

     Rental expense charged to operations under operating leases by the Division
approximated $100 thousand for the period ended June 28, 1994. Substantially all
such rental  expense  represented  the minimum rental  payments under  operating
leases.
 
7.  RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS
 
     As discussed in Note 2, JPS Textile performed certain services and incurred
certain  costs  for the  Division.  Services  provided  include  treasury,  risk
management,  employee  benefits,  legal services,  data  processing,  credit and
collections,  and other general  corporate  services.  The costs of the services
provided  by JPS  Textile  has  been  allocated  to the  Division  based  upon a
combination of estimated use and the relative sales of the business to the total
operations of JPS Textile.  Costs  allocated to the Division for these  services
were approximately $843 thousand for the period ended June 28, 1994. JPS Textile
provided certain  management  information  systems  supporting the manufacturing

8.  ENVIRONMENTAL
 
     The Division is subject to various federal,  state and local  environmental
laws and regulations that (i) affect ongoing operations and may increase capital
costs  and  operating  expenses  and  (ii)  impose  liability  for the  costs of
investigation  and  remediation and certain other damages related to on-site and
off-site soil and

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
groundwater contamination. The Division believes it has obtained or applied
for the material permits necessary to conduct its business.  To date, compliance
with  applicable  environmental  laws  has  not  had  and,  in  the  opinion  of
management,  based on the facts presently known to it, is not expected to have a
material  adverse  effect on the  Division's  financial  condition or results of
operations.
 
     Although it is possible that new information or future events could require
the  Division  to  reassess   its   potential   exposure   relating  to  pending
environmental  matters,  management  believes that, based on the facts presently
known  to it,  the  resolution  of such  environmental  matters  will not have a
material  adverse  effect on the  Division's  financial  condition or results of
operations.
 
     The possibility exists, however, that new environmental  legislation may be
passed or  environmental  regulations  may be  adopted,  or other  environmental
conditions may be found to exist,  that may require  expenditures  not currently
anticipated  which  may be  material,  and there  can be no  assurance  that the
Division  has  identified  or  properly  assessed  all  potential  environmental
liability arising from its activities or properties.
 
9.  LITIGATION
 
     From  time to  time,  the  Division  has been  involved  in  various  legal
proceedings.  Management  believes that such litigation is routine in nature and
incidental to the conduct of its business, and that none of such litigation,  if
determined  adversely to the Division,  would have a material  adverse effect on
the financial condition or results of operations of the Division.
 
10.  CONCENTRATION OF RISK
 
     The Division's customers operate primarily in the automotive and industrial
fabrics  industries.  The Division  performs  ongoing credit  evaluations of its
customers  and generally  does not require  collateral.  The Division  maintains
allowance  accounts  for  potential  losses  and such  losses  have been  within
management's expectations.
 
     The  percentage  of sales to the three  principal  customers for the period
ended June 28, 1994, respectively was as follows:
 
<TABLE>
                <S>                                                       <C>
                Allied Signal...........................................   28%
                TRW.....................................................   10
                Travis Textiles.........................................    6
</TABLE>
 
     The Division's  exposure to credit risk associated with nonpayment by these
customers  is  affected  by  conditions  or  occurrences  primarily  within  the
automotive and industrial fabrics segments.  Substantially all trade receivables
from these three customers were current at June 28, 1994.
 
     Reliance  on  Principal   Supplier  --  One  supplier   currently  supplies
substantially  all of the Division's  requirements for nylon yarn, the principal
raw material used in the Division's airbag products. While the Division believes
that  there are  adequate  alternative  sources  of supply  from  which it could
fulfill  its nylon  yarn  requirements,  the  unanticipated  termination  of the
current supply arrangement or a prolonged interruption in shipments could have a
material adverse effect on the Division.
 
11.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
     On July 24,  1997,  C&A sold all of the  assets of the  Division  to Safety
Components  International,  Inc.  for  $56.3  million  in  cash,  including  the
assumption of certain  liabilities  and subject to postclosing  adjustments.  In
addition, Safety Components International, Inc. made a payment to JPS Automotive
at the closing to enable it to pay off existing  indebtedness of the Division of
approximately $650,000 at the closing.
