                      JPS AUTOMOTIVE L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

1.       Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

         The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
JPS Automotive L.P. and its subsidiaries ("JPS Automotive"). In the opinion of
management of JPS Automotive, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation
of the consolidated 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 consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in JPS Automotive's Transition
Report on Form 10-K for the transition period from January 1, 1996 to December
28, 1996.

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 1996 Acquisition, Collins & Aikman Products Co. ("C&A
Products"), a wholly owned subsidiary of C&A, acquired a .9999% limited
partnership interest in JPS Automotive from Foamex and a 99% limited partnership
interest in JPS Automotive from Foamex - JPS Automotive L.P. ("FJPS"). PACJ,
Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of C&A Products, acquired a .0001% general
partnership interest in JPS Automotive from JPSGP Inc. ("JPSGP"). Accordingly,
100% of the partnership interests in JPS Automotive are owned by PACJ, Inc. and
C&A Products, which are, respectively, indirect and direct wholly owned
subsidiaries of C&A.

         In addition, on December 11, 1996, C&A Products purchased from Seiren
Co. Ltd. and its affiliates for $10 million, the 20% minority interest in
Cramerton Automotive Products, L.P. ("Cramerton") not held by JPS Automotive.
JPS Automotive subsequently acquired the 20% minority interest previously held
by the Seiren entities.

         In connection with the 1996 Acquisition, C&A, through its subsidiaries,
acquired approximately $68 million of the Company's outstanding 11-1/8% Senior
Notes due 2001 (the "Senior Notes"), which were subsequently retired by the
Company. In addition, at the time of closing, approximately $15 million of the
Company's outstanding debt was repaid. The Senior Notes formerly held by C&A and
the funds used to repay the Company's outstanding bank indebtedness were
recorded as capital contributions to the Company from C&A and its subsidiaries.

The 1994 Acquisition

         JPS Automotive L.P. was formed on May 17, 1994 (JPS Automotive L.P., as
it existed prior to the 1996 Acquisition being hereinafter referred to as the
"Predecessor Company"), 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, FJPS and JPSGP, the
owners of a 99% limited partnership interest and a 1% general partnership
interest in the Predecessor Company, respectively, made capital contributions of
approximately $90.0 million to the Predecessor Company which, in turn, made a
capital contribution of approximately $90.0 million to Products Corp. FJPS and
JPSGP were indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Foamex.

                                   (Unaudited)

         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.

2.       Inventories:

         The components of inventories consist of:

3.       Goodwill:

         Goodwill, 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 forty years. Amortization of goodwill for
the first quarter of 1997 was $.8 million. Accumulated amortization at March 29,
1997 was $.9 million. 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, JPS Automotive's carrying value of the goodwill
will be reduced. At March 29, 1997, JPS Automotive believes its goodwill of
$125.2 million was fully recoverable.

4.       Facility Closing Costs:

         In connection with the 1996 Acquisition, C&A has developed preliminary
plans for JPS Automotive to rationalize certain manufacturing locations, as well
as marketing and administrative functions. These plans have not been finalized.
Costs accrued at December 28, 1996, for the shutdown of facilities and severance
and other personnel costs were $2.2 million and $7.0 million, respectively.
During the first quarter of 1997, JPS Automotive expended approximately $.6
million for severance and other personnel costs.

5.       Related Party Transactions

         At March 29, 1997, C&A Products has pledged the ownership interests in
its significant subsidiaries, including its partnership interest in JPS
Automotive, as security for debt of C&A Products totaling $458.0 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 addition, in connection with the 1996
Acquisition, C&A has developed preliminary plans for JPS Automotive to
rationalize certain manufacturing locations as well as marketing and
administrative functions. In effecting these plans, C&A and its affiliates
currently contemplate entering into certain arrangements with JPS Automotive and
its affiliates, including (i) the provision by C&A Products pursuant to the
Existing Services Agreement of certain administrative and management functions
previously conducted by JPS Automotive, (ii) the provision by C&A Products of
certain marketing and program management functions to JPS Automotive, (iii) the
purchase from

                                   (Unaudited)

and the sale to C&A Products of certain manufacturing assets, (iv) the transfer
of certain automotive programs, or manufacturing responsibility for them, from
JPS Automotive and Cramerton to C&A Products and its subsidiaries and from C&A
Products to JPS Automotive and (v) a guarantee by C&A Products in favor of JPS
Automotive of the value to be received by JPS Automotive for certain idled
assets of JPS Automotive.

         Where automotive programs are transferred from C&A Products or JPS
Automotive to the other party, the manufacturer is expected to pay a royalty to
the party that originally obtained the transferred contract or, where
manufacturing responsibility for an automotive program is transferred, the
manufacturer is expected to receive a manufacturing fee based on its costs plus
a predetermined fee. It is expected that any payments made by JPS Automotive in
the case of outsourcing of manufacturing will not exceed JPS Automotive's
current cost to produce such product.

         For the quarter ended March 29, 1997, JPS Automotive was charged $1.3
million by C&A Products for certain administrative and management services in
accordance with the Existing Services Agreement. No amounts were paid or accrued
by JPS Automotive for any other current or proposed agreements during the first
quarter of 1997.

Predecessor Company

         The Predecessor Company regularly entered into transactions with its
affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

         JPS Automotive had a supply agreement (the "Supply Agreement") with
Foamex. Pursuant to the terms of the Supply Agreement, at the option of JPS
Automotive, Foamex purchased certain raw materials which are necessary for the
manufacture of JPS Automotive's products, and would resell such raw materials to
JPS Automotive at a price equal to net cost plus reasonable out of pocket
expenses. During the quarter ended March 31, 1996, JPS Automotive purchased
approximately $22.4 million of raw materials under the Supply Agreement.

6.       Commitments and Contingencies:

         See "PART II - OTHER INFORMATION, Item 1. Legal Proceedings." The
ultimate outcome of the legal proceedings to which JPS Automotive is a party
will not, in the opinion of JPS Automotive's management based on the facts
presently known to it, have a material adverse effect on the consolidated
financial condition or result of operations of JPS Automotive.

         JPS Automotive 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. JPS Automotive 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 JPS Automotive's consolidated
financial condition or results of operations.

         Although not named as a potentially responsible party for any
environmentally contaminated sites, JPS Automotive has accrued environmental
costs at March 29, 1997, of $4.7 million, $.7 million of which is included in
current liabilities.

         Although it is possible that new information or future events could
require JPS Automotive to reassess its potential exposure relating to pending
environmental matters, management believes that, based on the


                                      I-6

facts presently known to it, the resolution of such environmental matters will
not have a material adverse effect on JPS Automotive's consolidated 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 JPS Automotive has identified or properly assessed all
potential environmental liability arising from its activities or properties.

1.       Commitments and Contingencies

JPS Automotive Products Corp. ("Products Corp.") is a joint obligor (and
co-registrant) with JPS Automotive L.P. of 11 1/8% senior notes due 2001 with an
outstanding principal balance of $108.1 million as of March 29, 1997.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations

         Pursuant to General Instruction H(2)(a) to Form 10-Q, the following
discussion is a management's narrative analysis of the results of operations
explaining the reasons for material changes in the amount of revenue and expense
items between the most recent fiscal year-to-date period presented and the
corresponding year-to-date period in the preceding fiscal year.

         JPS Automotive manufactures and supplies textiles and specialty textile
products for passenger car and light truck production in North America. On June
28, 1994, JPS Automotive acquired the assets of the automotive products and
industrial fabrics divisions of JPS Textile in the 1994 Acquisition. On December
11, 1996, C&A, through its subsidiaries, acquired JPS Automotive from Foamex in
the 1996 Acquisition. The following discussion should be read in conjunction
with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto
of JPS Automotive and Products Corp. included in this report.

         The consolidated balance sheets as of March 29, 1997 and December 28,
1996, and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the
quarter ended March 29, 1997, pertain to JPS Automotive. The consolidated
statements of operations and cash flows for the quarter ended March 31, 1996,
pertain to the Predecessor Company.

         The offering of the JPS Automotive Senior Notes in connection with the
1994 Acquisition substantially increased the overall debt level and interest
expense of JPS Automotive for periods after the 1994 Acquisition. In addition,
Foamex and its affiliates provided JPS Automotive with certain legal,
accounting, auditing and other administrative services pursuant to the terms of
a services agreement between Foamex and its affiliates and JPS Automotive (the
"Existing Services Agreement"). The Existing Services Agreement was transferred
to and assumed by C&A in connection with the 1996 Acquisition. In addition, C&A
is expected to provide a greater level of services than were provided by Foamex.
Therefore, historical amounts for selling, general and administrative expenses
may not be directly comparable to amounts reported by JPS Automotive after the
1996 Acquisition.

QUARTER ENDED MARCH 29, 1997 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1996.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Net sales for the first quarter of 1997 were $74.7 million as compared
to $74.9 million in the first quarter of 1996. The $0.2 million decrease in net
sales was primarily due to reduced production in the first quarter of 1997 of
the automobile and light truck builds which JPS Automotive supplies, partially
offset by increased sales of airbag restraint system fabric and specialty
industrial fabrics. First quarter 1996 sales were negatively impacted by the
General Motors Corporation strike in March 1996, which is estimated to have
decreased net sales by approximately $4.0 million.

         Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 13.0% for the
first quarter of 1997 from 16.7% in the comparable quarter of 1996 primarily due
to a shift towards lower margin automobile and light truck programs that began
in the second half of 1996 and continued through the first quarter of 1997.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses remained at $5.4 million
for the first quarter of 1997, unchanged from the comparable quarter of 1996.

         Interest and debt issuance expense decreased to $3.2 million for the
first quarter of 1997 from $5.4 million in the comparable quarter of 1996
primarily due to the lower overall outstanding debt levels following the 1996
Acquisition. In connection with the 1996 Acquisition, JPS Automotive's revolving
facilities were repaid and terminated and $68.0 million in Senior Notes were
retired.

         Other (income) expense, net in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 and
1996 related to sales of fixed assets.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations (Concluded)

         Minority interest expense of $.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal
1996 related to the minority ownership interest in Cramerton. In connection with
the 1996 Acquisition, this minority interest was acquired by C&A Products, and
Cramerton is now 100% owned by JPS Automotive.

         Income tax provision for the first quarter of 1997 increased to
$.6 million from $.1 million in the first quarter of 1996 which resulted from 
the utilization of deferred tax assets recorded in connection with the 1996
Acquisition.

         Net income decreased to $.6 million for the first quarter of 1997 from
$1.3 million in the comparable period in 1996 primarily due to the reasons cited
above.

Liquidity and Capital  Resources

         JPS Automotive's operating cash requirements consist principally of
working capital requirements, scheduled payments of principal and interest on
its outstanding indebtedness and capital expenditures. JPS Automotive believes
the cash flow from operating activities, cash on hand and periodic capital
contributions and borrowings, if necessary, will be adequate to meet operating
cash requirements. For a discussion of certain arrangements between C&A Products
and JPS Automotive, see Note 5 to the Notes to JPS Automotive's Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Safe Harbor Statement

         This Form 10-Q contains statements which, to the extent they are not
historical fact, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (the "Safe Harbor Acts"). All forward-looking statements involve
risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are
intended to be subject to the safe harbor protection provided by the Safe Harbor
Acts.

         Risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to vary
materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements included in
this Form 10-Q include industry-based factors such as possible declines in the
North American automobile and light truck build, labor strikes at JPS
Automotive's major customers, changes in consumer taste, dependence on
significant automotive customers, changes in the popularity of particular car
models, the loss of programs on particular car models and the level of
competition in the automotive supply industry, as well as factors more specific
to JPS Automotive, such as the substantial leverage of JPS Automotive and
limitations imposed by the Senior Notes. For a discussion of certain of these
and other important factors which may affect the operations, products and
markets of JPS Automotive, see JPS Automotive's Transition Report on Form 10-K
for the transition period from January 1, 1996 to December 28, 1996, including
without limitation, "Item 1. Business" and "Item 7. Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and Notes to
