              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)

1. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1995 has been
condensed from the audited balance sheet at that date. The condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1996 and the condensed consolidated
statements of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended June
30, 1996 and July 2, 1995 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash
flows for the twenty-six week periods ended June 30, 1996 and July 2, 1995 have
been prepared by JPS Automotive L.P. and subsidiaries ("JPS Automotive") and
have not been audited by JPS Automotive's independent accountants. In the
opinion of the management of JPS Automotive, all adjustments considered
necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position,
results of operations and cash flows for those periods have been included.

   In October 1995, the Board of Directors of Foamex International Inc. ("Foamex
International") approved a plan to evaluate the potential reduction of long-term
debt with substantially all of the proceeds from the possible sale of the
automotive carpet, trim and/or textile businesses of JPS Automotive (which
together comprise substantially all of the assets of JPS Automotive). Foamex
International is continuing to evaluate the possible sale of these businesses;
however, no definitive commitment has been reached. There can be no assurance
that Foamex International will be able to successfully sell these businesses or
as to the price or terms of any sale. The condensed consolidated financial
statements of JPS Automotive do not include any adjustments that might result
from any sale.

   Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission. These condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with JPS Automotive's 1995 consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto as set forth in JPS Automotive's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.

3.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     JPS Automotive has a supply agreement (the "Supply Agreement") with
Foamex International. Pursuant to the terms of the Supply Agreement, at the
option of JPS Automotive, Foamex International will purchase certain raw
materials which are necessary for the manufacture of JPS Automotive's products,
and resell such raw materials to JPS Automotive at a price equal to net cost
plus reasonable out of pocket expenses. Management believes that the terms of
the Supply Agreement are no less favorable to JPS Automotive than those that
could be obtained from an unaffiliated third party. During the thirteen week
periods ended June 30, 1996 and July 2, 1995, JPS Automotive purchased
approximately $24.7 million and $24.1 million, respectively, of raw materials
under the Supply Agreement. During the twenty-six week periods ended June 30,
1996 and July 2, 1995, JPS Automotive purchased approximately $47.0 million and
$47.1 million, respectively, of raw materials

3.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (continued)

under the Supply Agreement. As of June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, JPS 
Automotive had accounts payable to Foamex International of approximately $8.4
million and $8.7 million, respectively,  associated with the Supply Agreement.

4.   ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

     JPS Automotive is subject to various federal, state and local environmental
laws and regulations governing, among other things, the discharge, storage,
handling and disposal of a variety of hazardous and non-hazardous substances and
wastes. JPS Automotive believes it is in substantial compliance with all
existing laws and regulations and has obtained or applied for the necessary
permits to conduct its business. To date, compliance with applicable
environmental laws has not had and, in conjunction with the indemnifications
from JPS Textile Group, Inc. ("JPS Textile") relating to the asset purchase
agreement associated with the acquisition of JPS Automotive, is not expected to
have a material adverse effect on JPS Automotive's financial position. Pursuant
to the terms of this asset purchase agreement, JPS Textile has agreed to
indemnify JPS Automotive against certain environmental liabilities as follows:
(i) one-half of the first $1.0 million of cost in excess of $2.0 million and
(ii) all cost in excess of $3.0 million.

     Although not named as a potential responsible party for any environmental
contaminated sites, JPS Automotive has accrued environmental costs at June 30,
1996 of approximately $2.3 million, $0.3 million of which is included in current
liabilities. In addition, as of June 30, 1996, JPS Automotive has a receivable
of $0.5 million for indemnification of environmental liabilities from JPS
Textile, the former owner of JPS Automotive, which is included in noncurrent
assets. JPS Automotive believes that realization of the receivable established
for indemnification is probable.

     Although it is possible that new information or future events could require
JPS Automotive to reassess its potential exposure relating to all pending
environmental matters, management believes that, based upon all currently
available information, the resolution of such environmental matters will not
have a material adverse effect on JPS Automotive's results of operations,
financial position, capital expenditures or competitive position. The
possibility exists, however, that new environmental legislation and/or
environmental regulations may be adopted, or other environmental conditions may
be found to exist, that may require expenditures not currently anticipated which
may be material.

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

         JPS Automotive L.P. and its subsidiaries ("JPS Automotive") manufacture
and supply textiles and specialty textile products for passenger car and light
truck production in North America. The following discussion should be read in
conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related
notes thereto of JPS Automotive included in this report.

         In October 1995, the Board of Directors of Foamex International Inc.
("Foamex International") approved a plan to evaluate the potential reduction of
long-term debt with substantially all of the proceeds from the possible sale of
the automotive carpet, trim and/or textile businesses of JPS Automotive (which
together comprise substantially all of the assets of JPS Automotive). Foamex
International is continuing to evaluate the possible sale of these businesses;
however, no definitive commitment has been reached. There can be no assurance
that Foamex International will be able to successfully sell these businesses or
as to the price or terms of any sale. The condensed consolidated financial 
statements of JPS Automotive do not include any adjustments that might result 
from any sale.

         JPS Automotive's customers are predominantly automotive original
equipment manufacturers or other automotive suppliers. As such, the sales of a
substantial portion of JPS Automotive's products are directly related to the
overall level of passenger car and light truck production in North America. The
automotive industry is cyclical in nature and is subject to changes in economic
conditions.

13 Week Period Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to 13 Week Period Ended July 2, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consolidated Results of Operations

         Net sales for 1996 were $82.7 million as compared to $80.2 million in
1995. The $2.5 million or 3.1% increase in net sales was primarily due to
increased production of automobiles and light trucks in the 1996 period compared
to 1995 and increased net sales during the second quarter of 1996 as a result of
the settlement of the first quarter 1996 General Motors Corp. parts supplier 
labor strike and restocking of inventory levels by automobile manufacturers as
a result of reduced repurchasing during the first quarter of 1996.

         Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 16.6% for 1996
from 18.6% in 1995 primarily due to competitive price pressures.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $5.8 million
for 1996 from $5.4 million in 1995 primarily due to the increase in sales volume
and an increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts as compared to 1995.

         Interest and debt issuance expense decreased to $5.3 million for 1996
from $5.5 million in 1995 primarily due to favorable results from the interest
rate swap agreement.

         Net income decreased to $2.3 million for 1996 from $3.8 million in 1995
primarily due to the reasons cited above.

26 Week Period Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to 26 Week Period Ended July 2, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consolidated Results of Operations

         Net sales for 1996 were $157.7 million as compared to $167.8 million in
1995. The $10.1 million or 6.0% decrease in net sales was primarily due to (i)
reduced production of automobile and light truck builds in 1996 as compared to
1995 and (ii) the General Motors Corp. parts supplier labor strike during the
first quarter of 1996.

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

         Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 16.6% for 1996
from 18.3% in 1995 primarily due to competitive price pressures and under 
utilization of manufacturing capacities as a result of the reduced net sales 
volume.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $11.2 million
for 1996 from $11.1 million in 1995 primarily due to an increase in the
allowance for doubtful accounts offset by a decrease in expenses associated with
decreased net sales.

         Interest and debt issuance expense decreased to $10.7 million for 1996
from $11.4 million in 1995 primarily due to favorable results from the interest
rate swap agreement.

         Net income decreased to $3.6 million for 1996 from $7.8 million in 1995
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
that cash flow from operating activities, cash on hand and periodic borrowings
under the credit facilities, if necessary, will be adequate to meet operating
cash requirements. JPS Automotive's ability to meet its cash requirements could
be impaired if JPS Automotive were to fail to comply with any of the covenants
contained in the JPS Automotive credit agreement ("JPS Automotive Credit
Agreement") and such noncompliance was not cured by JPS Automotive or waived by
the lenders. As of June 30, 1996, JPS Automotive was in compliance with the
covenants and expects to be in compliance for the foreseeable future.

         Liquidity
         ---------

         Cash and cash equivalents decreased $1.7 million during 1996 to $1.1
million at June 30, 1996 from $2.8 million at December 31, 1995 primarily due to
the use of cash for capital expenditures and debt repayments offset by cash from
operating activities. Working capital increased $2.2 million during 1996 to
$32.7 million at June 30, 1996 from $30.5 million at December 31, 1995.

         Cash Flow from Operating Activities
         -----------------------------------

         Cash flow provided by operating activities was $8.0 million and $7.6
million for the 1996 and 1995 periods, respectively. Cash flow provided by
operating activities increased in 1996 as compared to 1995 primarily due to a
reduction in the use of cash and cash equivalents by the operating assets and
liabilities offset by reduced operating results.

         Cash Flow from Investing Activities
         -----------------------------------

         During 1996, JPS Automotive spent approximately $2.7 million on capital
expenditures and expects to maintain spending for capital expenditures at this
level for the foreseeable future.

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


         Cash Flow from Financing Activities
         -----------------------------------

         As of June 30, 1996, there were $1.5 million of revolving loan
borrowings outstanding under the JPS Automotive Credit Agreement with unused
availability of approximately $23.5 million.

         Cramerton Automotive Products L.P. ("Cramerton") finances its
operations through a $15.0 million revolving line of credit, which is recourse
only to Cramerton, and which expires in April 1998. Borrowings under the 
Cramerton credit facility were $6.1 million at June 30, 1996. Availability 
under this revolving line of credit is subject to a borrowing base calculation 
and unused availability under this line of credit was $8.9 million as of June 
30, 1996.

Interest Rate Swap Agreement

         JPS Automotive has an interest rate swap agreement for a notional
amount of $150.0 million for five years. Under which JPS Automotive has made
fixed payments at 6.04% on a notional amount of $90.0 million and 7.00% on a
notional amount of $60.0 million for the six months ended June 1995 and is
obligated to make variable rate payments based on LIBOR, capped at 8.5% per
annum, on a $150.0 million notional amount for the remainder of the agreement in
exchange for fixed payments at a rate of 6.89% per annum by the swap partner
payable semiannually in arrears. The swap partner has the ability to terminate
the swap agreement in December 1998. Interest expense will be subject to
fluctuations in LIBOR. JPS Automotive is exposed to credit loss in the event of
nonperformance by the swap partner; however, the occurrence of this event is not
anticipated. During the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 1996 and July 2, 1995, the
effect of the interest rate swap described above was a favorable adjustment to
interest expense of $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively. During the
twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 1996 and July 2, 1995, the effect of the
interest rate swap described above was a favorable taxable adjustment to 
interest expense of $0.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Environmental Matters

         JPS Automotive is subject to extensive and changing environmental laws
and regulations. Expenditures to date in connection with JPS Automotive's
compliance with such laws and regulations did not have a material adverse effect
on earnings, capital expenditures, or competitive position. The liability for
environmental costs at June 30, 1996 is $2.3 million, $0.3 million of which is
included in current liabilities. In addition, as of June 30, 1996, JPS
Automotive has a receivable of $0.5 million for indemnification of environmental
liabilities from JPS Textile which is included in noncurrent assets. JPS
Automotive believes that realization of the receivable established for
indemnification is probable.

         Although it is possible that new information or future events could
require JPS Automotive to reassess its potential exposure relating to all
pending environmental matters, management believes that, based upon all
currently available information, the resolution of such environmental matters
will not have a material adverse effect on JPS Automotive's earnings, financial
position, capital expenditures or competitive position. The possibility exists,
however, that new environmental legislation and/or environmental regulations may
be adopted, or other environmental conditions may be found to exist, that may
require expenditures not currently anticipated which may be material.

Inflation and Other Matters

         Although JPS Automotive is subject to the effects of changing prices,
the impact of inflation has not been a significant factor in the results of
operations for the periods presented. In some circumstances, market conditions
or customer expectations may prevent JPS Automotive from increasing the prices
of its products to offset the inflationary pressures that may increase its costs
in the future.
