        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)


1.   ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 29, 1996 has been
condensed from the audited consolidated balance sheet at that date. The
condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 30, 1997 and the condensed
consolidated statements of operations and the condensed consolidated statements
of cash flows for the thirteen week periods ended March 30, 1997 and March 31,
1996 have been prepared by Foamex-JPS Automotive L.P. and subsidiary ("FJPS")
and have not been audited by FJPS's independent accountants. Also, the condensed
consolidated statement of operations and the condensed consolidated statement of
cash flows for the thirteen week period ended March 31, 1996 have been restated
for discontinued operations (see Note 2 below). In the opinion of management,
all adjustments, consisting only of normally recurring adjustments, considered
necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position,
results of operations and cash flows have been included.

     Foamex International Inc. ("Foamex International") owns a 99% limited
partnership interest in FJPS, and FJPG, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Foamex International, owns a 1% general partnership interest in FJPS.

     On April 7, 1997, Foamex International announced that an evaluation of its
capital structure was initiated with the intention of refinancing certain
long-term indebtedness to reduce Foamex International's interest expense and
improve financing flexibility. On May 12, 1997, Foamex International announced a
$540.0 million refinancing plan that includes a $480.0 million credit facility
and $150.0 million of senior subordinated notes. As part of this refinancing
plan, Foamex L.P. commenced tender offers with concurrent consent solicitations
for $373.0 million of aggregate principal amount of its public debt and $116.7
million of aggregate principal amount of FJPS senior secured discount debentures
due 2004. The refinancing activities are expected to be completed by the end of
the second quarter of 1997. (See Note 3 below for further discussion).

     Foamex International expects that as a result of its refinancing
activities, assuming no material changes in interest rates and the tendering of
substantially all of Foamex International's outstanding public debt, future
annualized interest expense will be reduced by between $8.0 million and $11.0
million as compared to the expense required by the existing indentures and
credit agreements. Foamex International expects that future interest expense,
and the ability to realize the savings in interest expense, will vary based on a
variety of factors, including fluctuation in interest rates in general; the
pricing of the credit agreement and the senior subordinated notes; and the
percentage of securities tendered in the tender offers. In addition, if the
refinancing is consummated, variable rate debt will comprise a larger percentage
of Foamex L.P.'s overall indebtedness than in the past, and as a result, future
fluctuations in interest rates will have a greater impact on Foamex L.P.'s
interest expense than in the past.

     Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been 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 FJPS's 1996 consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto as set forth in FJPS's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 29, 1996. In addition, these condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with Foamex L.P.'s condensed
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as set forth in its Form
10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 30, 1997 as filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

     FJPS's condensed consolidated financial statements consist of the
consolidated results of operations of FJPS, including its wholly-owned
subsidiary Foamex-JPS Capital Corporation ("FJCC"), and its 98% equity interest
in Foamex L.P. FJPS's share of earnings of its unconsolidated limited
partnership is reflected in income as earned and distributions will be credited
against the investment in the unconsolidated limited partnership when received.
FJPS has no employees or operations of its own nor do its partners incur any
expenses on its behalf.

2.   DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

     During 1996, FJPS completed the sale of its partnership interests in JPS
Automotive L.P. ("JPS Automotive") for a sale price of approximately $220.1
million including the assumption of $200.1 million of JPS Automotive's
indebtedness. The sale is subject to a post-closing adjustment which is expected
to be finalized during the second quarter of 1997. The sale included
substantially all of the net assets of JPS Automotive. Also, during 1996, Foamex
L.P. finalized the sale of the outstanding common stock of Perfect Fit
Industries, Inc. ("Perfect Fit"), a wholly-owned subsidiary, for an adjusted
sale price of approximately $44.2 million. The sale included substantially all
of the net assets of the home comfort products business segment of Foamex L.P.
Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations and
the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the thirteen week period
ended March 31, 1996 reflects the operations of JPS Automotive and Perfect Fit
as discontinued operations. In addition, interest and debt issuance expense of
FJPS was allocated to discontinued operations based on the estimated debt to be
retired from the net proceeds from the sale of JPS Automotive. A summary of the
operating results for the discontinued operations is as follows:


                                                   13 Week Period Ended

3.   LONG-TERM DEBT

     Refinancing Plan

     On May 12, 1997, Foamex International announced a refinancing plan designed
to improve its financial and operating flexibility and reduce interest expense.
As part of this refinancing plan, Foamex L.P., a 99% owned subsidiary of Foamex
International, commenced tender offers with concurrent consent solicitations for
a total of $373.0 million of its aggregate principal of public debt and $116.7
million principal amount of FJPS's public debt, including:

o    $104.3 million of aggregate principal of its 9 1/2% Senior Secured Notes
     due 2000 for an aggregate consideration of 104.193% of principal plus
     accrued interest, comprised of a tender price of 102.193% and a consent fee
     of 2%;

o    $135.9 million of aggregate principal of its 11 1/4% Senior Notes due 2002
     for an aggregate consideration of 105.709% of principal plus accrued
     interest, comprised of a tender price of 103.709% and a consent fee of 2%;

o    $125.8 million of aggregate principal of its 11 7/8% Senior Subordinated
     Debentures due 2004 for an aggregate consideration of 107.586% of principal
     plus accrued interest, comprised of a tender price of 105.586% and a
     consent fee of 2%;

o    $7.0 million of aggregate principal of its 11 7/8% Senior Subordinated
     Debentures, Series B due 2004 for an aggregate consideration of 107.586% of
     principal plus accrued interest, comprised of a tender price of 105.586%
     and a consent fee of 2%; and

        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

3.   LONG-TERM DEBT (continued)

o    $116.7 million principal amount of the Foamex-JPS Automotive L.P. Senior
     Secured Discount Debentures due 2004 ("FJPS Discount Debentures") for an
     aggregate consideration of 88% of principal amount, which represents
     approximately 116.2% of the projected accreted value as of June 9, 1997,
     comprised of a tender price of 86% of principal amount and a consent fee of
     2%.

     The consent solicitations will expire on May 23, 1997 and the tender offers
will expire on June 9, 1997. Holders who tender their securities in the tender
offers will be deemed to have submitted consents in the consent solicitations.
Holders may not deliver consents without tendering their securities. Holders
must tender their securities prior to May 23, 1997 in order to receive the
consent fee. Holders who tender their securities after such date and before the
expiration date of June 9, 1997 will receive the tender price for their
securities, but will not receive the consent fee. Upon the closing of the
refinancing plan, Foamex L.P. intends to distribute the purchased FJPS Discount
Debentures to its partners.

     Foamex L.P. expects to fund the repurchase with the proceeds of:

o    A $480.0 million Foamex L.P. credit facility arranged by a bank lending
     group including an estimated $150.0 million revolving credit line. Upon
     completion of the refinancing transactions, it expects to have
     approximately $100.0 million available under the revolving credit line.

o    A $150.0 million offering of Foamex L.P. senior subordinated notes in the
     Rule 144A market.

o    Cash on hand.

     Foamex L.P. expects to complete its refinancing activities by the end of
the second quarter of 1997 and record an extraordinary loss on the early
extinguishment of debt of between $46.0 million to $50.0 million in the second
quarter of 1997 related to premiums paid to repurchase the debt, the write-off
of debt issuance costs and additional one-time charges related to the other
aspects of the other refinancing plan.

     Foamex L.P.'s future interest expense will increase and vary based on a
variety of factors, including fluctuation in interest rates in general; the
pricing of the credit agreement and the senior subordinated notes; and the
percentage of securities tendered in the tender offers. In addition, if the
refinancing is consummated, variable rate debt will comprise a larger percentage
of Foamex L.P.'s overall indebtedness than in the past, and as a result, future
fluctuations in interest rates will have a greater impact on Foamex L.P.'s
interest expense than in the past. Also, the amount of expected extraordinary
loss on the early extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of 1997 will vary
based on a variety of factors, including the percentage of securities tendered
in the tender offers and other factors beyond Foamex L.P.'s control.

     Consummation of the tender offers, the consent solicitations, the credit
facility and the senior subordinated notes offering are subject to conditions,
several of which are beyond Foamex L.P.'s control, and there can be no assurance
that such transactions will be consummated.

     This report shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an
offer to buy the securities offered by Foamex L.P. in the private placement.

1.   ORGANIZATION

     FJCC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of FJPS, was formed and initially
capitalized on May 13, 1994. FJCC engages in business activities related to
borrowing money for the benefit of FJPS.

2.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     FJCC is a joint and several obligor with FJPS on the FJPS Discount
Debentures consisting of $83.8 million senior secured discount debentures due
2004, (net of unamortized debt discount of $32.9 million).

     The FJPS Discount Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $116.7
million were issued on June 28, 1994 by FJPS and FJCC. The original issue
discount is being amortized using the weighted average to maturity method over
the life of the issue. No cash interest is payable on the FJPS Discount
Debentures prior to January 1, 2000; rather, the FJPS Discount Debentures
accrete on a daily basis interest on the FJPS Discount Debentures and compounds
semiannually at the rate of 13.50% per annum from the date of issuance of the
FJPS Discount Debentures through June 30, 1996, at the rate of 13.75% per annum
from July 1, 1996 through June 30, 1997, and at the rate of 14.00% per annum
from July 1, 1997 through June 30, 1999.

     Refinancing Plan

     On May 12, 1997, Foamex International announced a refinancing plan designed
to improve its financing and operating flexibility and reduce interest expense.
As part of this refinancing plan, Foamex L.P., a 99% owned subsidiary of Foamex
International, commenced tender offers with concurrent consent solicitations for
a total of $373.0 million of its aggregate principal of public debt and $116.7
million principal amount of FJPS's public debt See Note 3 to FJPS's condensed
consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATION


General

     The results of operations of FJPS include its equity in the undistributed
earnings of Foamex L.P. and interest and debt issuance expense on the FJPS
Discount Debentures. FJPS has no direct control or influence over Foamex L.P.
Control is exercised by Foamex International through its ownership of the
managing general partner of Foamex L.P. and FJPS.

     On April 7, 1997, Foamex International announced that an evaluation of its
capital structure was initiated with the intention of refinancing certain
long-term indebtedness to reduce Foamex International's interest expense and
improve financing flexibility. On May 12, 1997, Foamex International announced a
refinancing plan designed to improve its financial and operating flexibility and
reduce interest expense. As part of this refinancing plan, Foamex L.P., a 99%
owned subsidiary of Foamex International, commenced tender offers with
concurrent consent solicitations for a total of $373.0 million of its aggregate
principal of public debt and $116.7 million principal amount of FJPS's public
debt. The refinancing plan, including the tender offers, are subject to
conditions, several of which are beyond the control of Foamex L.P., therefore,
there can be no assurance that such transactions will be consummated. (See Note
3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion).

     The principal suppliers to the foam industry announced raw material price
increases effective April 1997. Foamex L.P. is unable to predict whether, or to
what extent, the April 1997 increases or any future increase will be sustained.
Foamex L.P. believes that if any price increases is sustained in the industry,
it will also be impacted by such increase. There can be no assurance that
chemical suppliers will not increase raw material costs in the future or that
Foamex L.P. will be able to implement selling price increases to offset any such
raw material cost increases.

Results of Operations

     The following is a summarized discussion of Foamex L.P.'s results of
operations. For further information regarding Foamex L.P., reference is made to
the Form 10-Q's of Foamex L.P. for the thirteen week period ended March 30, 1997
as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

13 Week Period Ended March 30, 1997 Compared to 13 Week Period Ended March 31,
1996

     Foamex L.P.

     Net sales for the first quarter of 1997 were $229.1 million as compared to
$219.1 million in the first quarter of 1996, an increase of $10.0 million or
4.6%. Carpet cushion net sales for the first quarter of 1997 increased 6.9% to
$67.9 million from $63.5 million in the first quarter of 1996 primarily due to
the effect of increased selling prices that were initiated late in the second
quarter of 1996, as well as increased shipments of certain carpet cushion
products. Cushioning foam net sales for the first quarter of 1997 increased 1.8%
to $84.0 million from $82.5 million in the first quarter of 1996 primarily due
to an increase in net sales from both new and existing customers of bedding
related products. Automotive foam net sales for the first quarter of 1997
increased 6.6% to $59.7 million from $56.0 million in the first quarter of 1996
primarily due to a continued increase in net sales of tri-laminates and
composite headliners and increased selling prices during the first quarter of
1996. Technical foam net sales for the first quarter of 1997 increased 2.3% to
$17.5 million from $17.1 million in the first quarter of 1996 primarily due to
increased volume.

Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATION


     Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 18.7% for the first
quarter of 1997 from 16.4% in the first quarter of 1996 primarily due to selling
price increases and improved material and production efficiencies which includes
(i) an increased favorable impact during the first quarter of 1997 as compared
to the first quarter of 1996 for the selling prices initiated in 1996 to offset
previous raw material cost increases, (ii) favorable raw material efficiencies
and (iii) an increased favorable impact of the 1995 operational plan in the
first quarter of 1997 as compared to the first quarter of 1996.

     Operating income increased to $27.1 million for the first quarter of 1997
from $22.4 million in the first quarter of 1996 primarily due to improved gross
profit margins as discussed above offset by an increase of $2.1 million in
selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 1997. The
increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily due to
increases in employee compensation and incentives and costs associated with the
launching of new products and international expansion.

     Income from continuing operations increased to $16.2 million for the first
quarter of 1997 from $11.2 million in the first quarter of 1996 primarily due to
the reasons cited above. Interest and debt issuance expense of $10.7 million for
the first quarter of 1997 is fairly consistent with $10.4 million for the first
quarter of 1996.

     Income from discontinued operations in the first quarter of 1996 represents
the operating income of Perfect Fit which was sold during 1996. See Note 2 to
the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

     The extraordinary loss on early extinguishment of debt of $0.7 million
relates to the write-off of debt issuance costs and redemption premiums
associated with the early extinguishment of $8.0 million of long-term debt.

     Operating results for 1997 are expected to be influenced by various
internal and external factors. These factors include, among other things, (i)
continued implementation of the operational plan to improve Foamex L.P.'s
profitability, (ii) the potential recapitalization of Foamex L.P., (iii)
additional raw material price increases, if any, by Foamex L.P.'s chemical
suppliers and (iv) Foamex L.P.'s success in passing on to its customers selling
price increases to recover such raw material cost increases.1

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     FJPS's only source of cash to meet its obligations, including paying the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the FJPS Discount Debentures and a
note payable to Foamex L.P. (the "FJPS Note") when due, are capital
contributions, dividends, loans, advances or other payments, as applicable, from
Foamex L.P. or from its partners, Foamex International and FJGP Inc. Foamex L.P.
is subject to significant contractual restrictions on its ability to pay
dividends or make loans, advances or payments to FJPS. FJPS does not anticipate
funding any operating cash requirements of Foamex L.P. During the thirteen week
period ended March 30, 1997, FJPS received $0.1 million of distributions from
Foamex L.P. and paid $0.1 million of distributions to its partners.
