Part III-Narrative
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q,
N-SAR or the transition report or portion thereof could not be filed within the
prescribed time period.
On May 12, 1997, Foamex International Inc. ("FII") announced the
commencement of tender offers with concurrent consent solicitations for a total
of $489.7 million of aggregate principal amount of public debt (the "Tender
Offers"). FII currently anticipates funding the repurchase of such debt with the
proceeds of a $480 million Foamex L.P. credit facility and a $150 million
offering of Foamex L.P. senior subordinated notes (the "Funding"). The Form 10-Q
for the fiscal quarter ended March 30, 1997 could not be filed within the
prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense due to the amount
of time required to prepare disclosures in this Form 10-Q reflecting the Tender
Offers and the Funding.
