                      JPS AUTOMOTIVE INC. 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, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("JPS Automotive"). In the opinion of
management of JPS Automotive, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
adjustments) 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.

         JPS Automotive's fiscal year ends on the last Saturday of December. The
2000 fiscal year will consist of 53 weeks. In a 53-week year, JPS Automotive's
policy is to include the additional week in the first quarter of the year. As a
result, the quarter ended April 1, 2000 consisted of 14 weeks. The quarters
ended July 1, 2000, June 26, 1999 and March 27, 1999 consisted of 13 weeks.

         For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto included in JPS Automotive's Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 25, 1999 (the "1999 10-K").

         On December 11, 1996, Collins & Aikman Corporation ("C&A"), through its
subsidiaries, acquired JPS Automotive L.P. and subsidiaries ("JPS Automotive
L.P.") from Foamex International Inc. ("Foamex") pursuant to an Equity Purchase
Agreement dated August 28, 1996, as amended December 11, 1996 (the "1996
Acquisition"). 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 L.P. from Foamex and a 99% limited
partnership interest in JPS Automotive L.P. from Foamex - JPS Automotive L.P.
("FJPS"). PACJ, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of C&A Products with no
operations, acquired a .0001% general partnership interest in JPS Automotive
L.P. from JPSGP Inc. ("JPSGP"). Accordingly, 100% of the partnership interests
in JPS Automotive L.P. were owned by PACJ, Inc. and C&A Products, which were,
respectively, indirect and direct wholly-owned subsidiaries of C&A.
Additionally, on December 11, 1996, C&A Products also acquired from Seiren Co.
Ltd. and its affiliates a minority interest in Cramerton Automotive Products,
L.P. and Cramerton Management Corporation, which were JPS Automotive L.P.
subsidiaries that were merged in December 1997 under the name Cramerton
Automotive Products, Inc. ("Cramerton"). JPS Automotive L.P. subsequently
acquired the minority interest previously held by C&A Products and now owns 100%
of Cramerton.

         On January 28, 2000, JPS Automotive merged with and into its general
partner PACJ, Inc. In the merger, all of the outstanding limited partnership
interests previously owned by C&A Products and the general partnership interests
held by PACJ, Inc. were canceled without any payment being made thereon. As a
result of the merger, PACJ, Inc. has changed its name to JPS Automotive, Inc.
and has assumed all of the obligations under the indenture governing the JPS
Automotive 11-1/8% Senior Notes due 2001 (the "Senior Notes"). The merger was
accounted for as a pooling of interests and prior year financial information has
been restated to reflect the merger. Prior to the merger, the operations of
PACJ, Inc. consisted of interest income on its intercompany loan with C&A
Products. During the quarter and six months ended June 26, 1999, $45 thousand
and $88 thousand, respectively, of interest income has been reflected in the
accompanying statements of operations related to this loan. At December 25,
1999, $2.4 million was outstanding on this intercompany loan.

         Net income is the only component of comprehensive income. Comprehensive
income for the quarters ended July 1, 2000 and June 26, 1999 was $1.0 million
and $1.5 million, respectively. Comprehensive income for the six months ended
July 1, 2000 and June 26, 1999 was $2.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively.


2.       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 a period of forty years. Amortization of goodwill was
$0.7 million and $1.4 million for the quarter and six months ended July 1, 2000,
respectively, and $0.6 million and $1.3 million for the quarter and six months
ended June 26, 1999, respectively. Accumulated amortization at July 1, 2000 was
$9.4 million. The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed periodically based on
the predicted undiscounted cash flows and pre-tax 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 July 1, 2000, JPS Automotive believes the recorded
value of its goodwill of $96.4 million is fully recoverable.

         The components of inventories consist of (in thousands):

4.       RESTRUCTURING:

         On February 10, 1999, C&A Products announced a comprehensive plan ("the
Reorganization") to reorganize its global automotive carpet, acoustics, plastics
and accessory floormats businesses. During 1999, JPS Automotive recognized a
restructuring charge related to the Reorganization of $0.3 million, representing
severance costs associated with the reduction of administrative personnel at JPS
Automotive's carpet facility. As of July 1, 2000, approximately $0.3 million had
been spent in severance and related costs.

         On September 22, 1999, JPS Automotive completed the sale of its
facility located in Cramerton, North Carolina for a sales price of $6 million,
resulting in a loss on the sale of $4.9 million, and additional asset
impairments, of certain machinery and equipment used in production, of $2.0
million. In addition, JPS Automotive established a reserve of $1.4 million for
severance costs to be paid to the approximately 150 employees affected by the
sale. At July 1, 2000, 156 employees had been terminated. As of July 1, 2000,
approximately $1.0 million had been spent in severance and related costs. JPS
Automotive and C&A Products are in the process of relocating the headliner
business from the Cramerton, North Carolina facility to a C&A Products facility
where C&A Products has begun producing headliner for JPS Automotive on a
subcontract basis.

5.       RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS:

         At July 1, 2000, C&A Products has pledged the ownership interests in
its significant subsidiaries, including its interests in JPS Automotive, as
security for debt of C&A Products totaling $425.1 million.

         Following the 1996 Acquisition, C&A Products began to develop plans to
rationalize certain manufacturing locations as well as marketing and
administrative functions. This rationalization involved transactions and
arrangements between JPS Automotive and C&A Products, which were approved by the
Board of Directors of PACJ, Inc., the general partner of JPS Automotive, and
were reviewed by an investment banking firm of national standing, which rendered
an opinion that they were fair to JPS Automotive from a financial point of view.

         The transactions and arrangements and proposed transactions and
arrangements include the following: (i) the provision by C&A Products of
additional administrative, management, marketing and program management services
pursuant to a pre-existing services agreement assigned to C&A Products by Foamex
(the "Existing Services Agreement"), (ii) the purchase from and sale to C&A
Products and its subsidiaries of certain manufacturing assets, (iii) the
transfer of manufacturing responsibility for certain automotive programs, and
for the manufacturing of automotive carpet roll goods, to C&A Products and its
subsidiaries and from C&A Products to JPS Automotive, and (iv) the transfer of
certain automotive programs from JPS Automotive to C&A Products and its
subsidiaries and from C&A Products to JPS Automotive. For a description of the
compensation to be paid by JPS Automotive to C&A Products and by C&A Products to
JPS Automotive pursuant to the transactions and arrangements described above,
see Note 12 to JPS Automotive's consolidated financial statements included in
the 1999 10-K. During the first quarter of 2000, JPS Automotive evaluated the
terms of its arrangement with C&A Products to produce automotive

carpet on a subcontract basis for a particular program and determined that
certain costs had been excluded from the fee calculations. As a result, JPS
Automotive billed C&A Products approximately $1.2 million, representing the
cumulative amount owed to JPS Automotive for 1997, 1998 and 1999 under the terms
of the intercompany arrangements.

         JPS Automotive paid or accrued the following amounts in connection with
the transactions and arrangements described above and related transactions for
the quarters ended July 1, 2000 and June 26, 1999: (i) $1.9 million and $1.8
million, respectively, for administrative and other services, and (ii) $26.6
million and $27.7 million, respectively, for contract manufacturing services
(including the purchase of roll goods) provided to JPS Automotive by C&A
Products and its subsidiaries. In addition, for the quarters ended July 1, 2000
and June 26, 1999, JPS Automotive recorded sales of $6.0 million and $4.4
million, respectively, relating to contract manufacturing services (including
the sale of roll goods) provided to C&A Products and its subsidiaries.

         JPS Automotive paid or accrued the following amounts in connection with
the transactions and arrangements described above and related transactions for
the six months ended July 1, 2000 and June 26, 1999: (i) $3.8 million and $3.6
million, respectively, for administrative and other services, and (ii) $57.1
million and $47.9 million, respectively, for contract manufacturing services
(including the purchase of roll goods) provided to JPS Automotive by C&A
Products and its subsidiaries. In addition, for the six months ended July 1,
2000 and June 26, 1999, JPS Automotive recorded sales of $14.4 million and $9.1
million, respectively, relating to contract manufacturing services (including
the sale of roll goods) provided to C&A Products and its subsidiaries.

         C&A Products and JPS Automotive entered into several additional
arrangements including, among others, those described below.

         During the year ended December 27, 1997, C&A Products and JPS
Automotive entered into reciprocal revolving credit arrangements whereby JPS
Automotive may borrow up to $5 million from C&A Products and C&A Products may
borrow up to $5 million from JPS Automotive. The borrower is charged interest on
any outstanding balance at a rate equal to the rate charged to C&A Products
under its revolving credit agreement. During the second quarter of 2000, C&A
Products was charged $57 thousand in net interest related to these revolving
credit arrangements. No interest was charged during the quarter ended June 26,
1999 as there was no outstanding balance under this arrangement during the
second quarter of 1999.

         In accordance with C&A Products' normal practice, C&A Products designed
and produced tooling for JPS Automotive, for which JPS Automotive reimbursed C&A
Products its costs. The development of tooling was managed by JPS Automotive
prior to the 1996 Acquisition.

         During December 1999, as permitted by the indenture governing the
Senior Notes, JPS Automotive purchased accounts receivable from a subsidiary of
C&A Products located in Mexico for $4.8 million, representing a gross balance of
$5.1 million, discounted at 5%. The purchased receivables have terms similar to
JPS Automotive's trade accounts receivable. At July 1, 2000 there was an
outstanding balance of $1.0 million owed to JPS Automotive under this
arrangement. During the quarter and six months ended July 1, 2000, approximately
$0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of income was recognized.

         JPS Automotive and C&A Products generally settle intercompany balances
within ten days after a period end. In December 1999, C&A Products began
offering a two percent discount for early payment of intercompany balances.
During the quarter and six months ended July 1, 2000, JPS Automotive paid
intercompany payable balances with C&A Products of $22.3 million and $40.5
million, respectively, prior to July 1, 2000, and received a discount of $0.2
million for the quarter and $0.4 million for the six months ended July 1, 2000.

         During the six months ended June 26, 1999, Cramerton incurred costs of
approximately $1.0 million related to the construction of additional space at a
C&A Products facility and the purchase of additional machinery and equipment for
the production of bodycloth. C&A Products is manufacturing bodycloth for JPS
Automotive on a subcontract basis at this location.

         On September 22, 1999, JPS Automotive completed the sale of its
facility in Cramerton, North Carolina. JPS Automotive and C&A Products are
relocating Cramerton's headliner business to a C&A Products facility where C&A
Products has begun producing headliner for JPS Automotive on a subcontract
basis. In connection with this move, during the six months ended July 1, 2000,
Cramerton capitalized costs of $0.1 million related to the purchase of
additional machinery and equipment for the production of headliner.

         C&A Products and JPS Automotive are also parties to a tax sharing
agreement (the "Tax Sharing Agreement") that was assigned to C&A Products by
Foamex in connection with the 1996 Acquisition. The Tax Sharing Agreement
provides that JPS Automotive will make certain payments to its partners
(principally C&A Products) in amounts equal to the taxes JPS Automotive would be
required to pay if it were separately taxed. JPS Automotive and C&A Products
maintain the Tax Sharing Agreement in lieu of adding JPS Automotive as a party
to C&A's tax sharing arrangement. For the six months ended July 1, 2000, JPS
Automotive recorded $0.2 million as an estimated amount due to C&A Products
under the terms of the Tax Sharing Agreement. For the six months ended June 26,
1999, JPS Automotive recorded $0.4 million as an estimated amount due to C&A
Products under the terms of the Tax Sharing Agreement.

         JPS Automotive's two reportable segments are Automotive Carpet and
Automotive Fabric. JPS Automotive's reportable segments are considered to be
strategic business units by management. Each business segment utilizes different
technology and focuses on specific vehicle interior systems. The Automotive
Carpet segment produces molded floor carpet and luggage compartment trim. The
Automotive Fabric segment produces seating upholstery fabric ("bodycloth") and
headliner fabric.

         The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described
in the summary of significant accounting policies in the 1999 10-K. JPS
Automotive evaluates performance based on profit or loss from operations before
interest expense, other income and expense, income taxes and before adjustments
made pursuant to the transactions and arrangements made between C&A Products and
JPS Automotive. (See Note 5.)

7.       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 results 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 contamination. JPS Automotive believes it has obtained or
applied for the material permits necessary to conduct its business. To date,

                      JPS AUTOMOTIVE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


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.

         In December 1997, another subsidiary of C&A Products assumed
substantially all of the environmental liabilities of JPS Automotive and its
subsidiaries in exchange for a payment from JPS Automotive of approximately $4.1
million. JPS Automotive remains contingently liable for these environmental
liabilities.

         In the opinion of management, based on the facts presently known to it,
the environmental costs and contingencies will not have a material adverse
effect on JPS Automotive's consolidated financial condition or results of
operations. However, there can be no assurance that JPS Automotive has
identified or properly assessed all potential environmental liabilities arising
from the activities or properties of JPS Automotive, its present and former
subsidiaries and their corporate predecessors.

8.       NEWLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:

         In April 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position No. 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-up
Activities" ("SOP 98-5"). SOP 98-5 provides guidance on the financial reporting
of start-up costs and organization costs and requires that all nongovernmental
entities expense the costs of start-up activities as these costs are incurred
instead of being capitalized and amortized. SOP 98-5 is effective for financial
statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998, and the initial
application of this pronouncement was reported as a cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle. JPS Automotive adopted SOP 98-5 on December 27,
1998. The initial impact of the adoption of SOP 98-5 at the beginning of fiscal
1999 was $0.8 million, net of income taxes of $0.5 million.

         In September 1999, the FASB's Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF")
reached a consensus regarding EITF Issue No. 99-5, "Accounting for
Pre-Production Costs Related to Long-Term Supply Arrangements" ("EITF No.
99-5"). EITF No. 99-5 requires that design and development costs for products to
be sold under long-term supply arrangements be expensed as incurred, and costs
incurred for molds, dies and other tools that will be used in producing the
products under long-term supply agreements be capitalized and amortized over the
shorter of the expected useful life of the assets or the term of the supply
arrangement. The consensus can be applied prospectively to costs incurred after
December 31, 1999 or as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle
as of the beginning of a company's fiscal year. The company adopted the
provisions of EITF No. 99-5 on a prospective basis on December 26, 1999. The
adoption of EITF No. 99-5 did not have a material impact on JPS Automotive's
financial position or the results of operations. At July 1, 2000, JPS Automotive
had assets of $1.1 million of molds, dies and other tools that are owned by
suppliers.

9.       SUBSEQUENT EVENT

         On July 24, 2000, $5.9 million principal amount of JPS Automotive, Inc.
11 1/8% Senior Notes due 2001 (the "Senior Notes") were purchased by JPS
Automotive on the open market and retired.

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 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 produces and supplies a complete line of automotive
textiles and specialty textile products to North American automobile and light
truck manufacturers. 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.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 1, 2000 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 26, 1999.

JPS Automotive's fiscal year ends on the last Saturday of December. The 2000
fiscal year will consist of 53 weeks. In a 53-week year, JPS Automotive's policy
is to include the additional week in the first quarter of the year. As a result,
the six months ended July 1, 2000 consisted of 27 weeks. Therefore, sales in all
divisions and associated costs and expenses were impacted by the longer
reporting period for the six months ended July 1, 2000.

NET SALES: Net sales for JPS Automotive for the six months ended July 1, 2000
decreased 11.0% from $135.9 million to $121.0 million for the six months ended
July 1, 2000. The primary reason for the sales decline is attributable to
program run-outs in Automotive Fabric.

GROSS PROFIT: Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the six months ended
July 1, 2000 was 10.9% compared to 10.8% for the six months ended June 26, 1999.

SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES: Selling, general, and
administrative expenses decreased 15.4% to $5.2 million for the six months ended
July 1, 2000, down $0.9 million from the comparable 1999 period. The decrease is
related to reduced expenses resulting from the relocation of the Cramerton,
North Carolina fabrics facility to another fabrics facility. This decrease is
partially offset by additional provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable
by Automotive Carpet.

INTEREST EXPENSE: Interest expense, net of interest income, was $4.1 million for
the six months ended July 1, 2000, compared to $4.3 million for the six months
ended June 26, 1999. The decrease is primarily due to higher interest income in
2000 resulting from increased cash balances.

OTHER INCOME: JPS Automotive had other income of $0.4 million for the six months
ended July 1, 2000, compared to $0.1 million in the comparable 1999 period. The
increase is primarily due to income recognized on the accounts receivable
purchased from a subsidiary of C&A Products in December, 1999.

INCOME TAXES: The income tax provision for the six months ended July 1, 2000
increased to $1.9 million from $1.8 million in the comparable 1999 period. JPS
Automotive's effective tax rate for the six months ended July 1, 2000 was 43.0%
compared to 42.5% for the six months ended June 26, 1999.

CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE: JPS Automotive adopted the
provisions of Statement of Position No. 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of
Start-Up Activities" ("SOP 98-5") at the beginning of 1999. SOP 98-5 provides
guidance on the financial reporting of start-up activities as these costs are
incurred instead of being capitalized and amortized. The initial impact of SOP
98-5 resulted in a charge of $0.8 million, net of income taxes of $0.5 million.

NET INCOME: Net income was $2.5 million for the six months ended July 1, 2000
and $1.7 million for the six months ended June 26, 1999 primarily due to the
reasons cited above.

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


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 will be adequate to meet operating cash
requirements. For a discussion of certain transactions and arrangements and
proposed transactions and arrangements between C&A Products and JPS Automotive,
see Note 5 to JPS Automotive's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

         The JPS Automotive Senior Notes will mature in June, 2001. JPS
Automotive currently plans to satisfy the obligation with cash generated from
operations, with a portion being refinanced by C&A Products.

         On July 24, 2000, $5.9 million principal amount of the JPS Automotive
Senior Notes were purchased by JPS Automotive on the open market and retired.

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 the 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 general economic conditions in the markets in which JPS
Automotive operates and 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 preferences, dependence on
significant automotive customers, changes in the popularity of particular
vehicle models or particular interior trim packages, the loss of programs on
particular vehicle models, the level of competition in the automotive supply
industry and pricing pressure from automotive customers, 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 "Business" in the 1999 10-K and "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the
1999 10-K, the Notes to JPS Automotive's Consolidated Financial Statements in

         JPS Automotive does not have any exposure to market risk for changes in
interest rates and foreign exchange rates.
