See accompanying notes. I-3 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. Certain prior quarter items have been restated to conform with the second quarter presentation. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in JPS Automotive's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 1997. 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"). 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. Additionally, on December 11, 1996, C&A Products acquired from Seiren Co. Ltd. and its affiliates the 20% minority interest in Cramerton Automotive Products, L.P. ("Cramerton"). JPS Automotive subsequently acquired the 20% minority interest previously held by the Seiren entities. 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 $1.3 million for the quarter and six months ended June 27, 1998, respectively, and $0.7 million and $1.5 million for the quarter and six months ended June 28, 1997, respectively. Accumulated amortization at June 27, 1998 was $3.9 million. The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed periodically based on the undiscounted 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 June 27, 1998, JPS Automotive believes the recorded value of its goodwill of $102.0 million is fully recoverable. 3. FACILITY CLOSING COSTS: In connection with the 1996 Acquisition, JPS Automotive eliminated certain redundant sales and administrative functions and closed one manufacturing facility in 1997, a second facility in January 1998, and a third facility in June 1998. JPS Automotive currently is in the process of relocating certain manufacturing processes from a JPS Automotive facility to an existing facility of another C&A Products subsidiary. These actions affect approximately 640 employees. Total costs accrued for the shutdown of facilities and severance and other personnel costs were $2.7 million and $7.7 million, respectively. The components of the reserves for the relocation and facility closures, which are expected to be completed during fiscal 1998, are as follows (in thousands):

I-4 JPS AUTOMOTIVE L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) 4. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS: At June 27, 1998, C&A Products has pledged the ownership interests in its significant subsidiaries, including its partnership interests in JPS Automotive, as security for debt of C&A Products totaling $292.2 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 preexisting 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 JPS Automotive's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 1997 (the "1997 10-K"). During the first quarter of 1998, pursuant to the rationalization process, JPS Automotive transferred to Collins & Aikman Canada Inc. ("C&A Canada") and C&A Products two contracts for the production of automotive carpet products for aggregate consideration of $4.3 million. One of these contracts was performed by C&A Canada for JPS Automotive during a portion of 1997 on a royalty basis. Due to the related party nature of the transfer, the $4.3 million received by JPS Automotive, net of the related tax provision of $1.6 milllion, has been treated as a capital contribution from C&A Products in the accompanying financial statements. During the remainder of 1998, C&A Products has agreed to transfer to JPS Automotive as an equity contribution all but one of the automotive soft trim programs formerly produced by C&A Products at its Salisbury, North Carolina, facility. Twenty-seven contracts relating to the closure of the Salisbury facility were transferred to JPS Automotive during the second quarter of 1998 in accordance with the arrangements between JPS Automotive and C&A Products. JPS Automotive did not pay any amounts for these contracts. C&A Products has also agreed to make additional cash equity contributions to JPS Automotive if JPS Automotive is unable to earn a specified level of operating profit on the contracts transferred from the Salisbury plant. JPS Automotive paid or accrued the following amounts in connection with the transactions and arrangements described above and related transactions for the quarter and six months ended June 27, 1998: (i) $1.9 million and $3.8 million, respectively, for administrative and other services, and (ii) $15.3 million and $28.6 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 quarter and six months ended June 27, 1998, JPS Automotive recorded sales of $10.2 million and $20.8 million, respectively, relating to contract manufacturing services (including the sale of roll goods) provided to C&A Products and its subsidiaries. For the quarter and six months ended June 28, 1997, JPS Automotive was charged $0.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively, by C&A Products for certain administrative and management services in accordance with the Existing Services Agreement. C&A Products and JPS Automotive entered into several additional arrangements during 1997 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 I-5 JPS AUTOMOTIVE L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) equal to the rate charged to C&A Products under its revolving credit agreement. During the quarter and six months ended June 27, 1998, C&A Products was charged $85 thousand and $180 thousand, respectively, in net interest related to these revolving credit arrangements. At June 27, 1998, there was an outstanding balance of $4.5 million owed to JPS Automotive under this arrangement. In connection with certain manufacturing activities conducted by C&A Products for Cramerton during the second quarter and six months ended June 27, 1998, Cramerton resold to C&A Products at cost approximately $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, in yarn that had been purchased by Cramerton for use in the manufacturing activities conducted for Cramerton. In addition, in accordance with C&A Products' normal practice, C&A Products developed 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. 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 June 27, 1998, no amounts were due to C&A Products under the terms of the Tax Sharing Agreement. In addition, because JPS Automotive is part of C&A's consolidated tax return, C&A effectively utilized the tax benefits generated by JPS Automotive in its consolidated tax return, which resulted in benefits totaling $6.2 million for 1997 and $0.3 million for the period from December 12, 1996 to December 28, 1996. C&A Products has agreed to reimburse JPS Automotive for these benefits on demand by JPS Automotive. 5. 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, 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 will remain 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. 6. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS: On July 24, 1997, JPS Automotive completed the sale of its Air Restraint and Technical Products Division ("Airbag") to Safety Components International, Inc. for a purchase price of approximately $56 million. No gain or loss was recorded on the sale since the sales price approximated the acquisition fair value of Airbag. Airbag reported income of $0.9 million and $1.6 million in the quarter and six months ended June 28, 1997. I-6 JPS AUTOMOTIVE L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONCLUDED) (UNAUDITED) 7. NEWLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS: In April 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") 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. It 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 is to be reported as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. JPS Automotive currently estimates that the impact of adoption of SOP 98-5 at the beginning of fiscal 1999 will be in the range of $0.5 million to $0.6 million. I-7 JPS AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS CORP.

("Products Corp.") is a joint obligor (and co-registrant) with JPS Automotive L.P. of the 11-1/8% Senior Notes due 2001 (the "Senior Notes"), which had an outstanding balance of $89.3 million (including a premium of $2.7 million) as of June 27, 1998. I-9 JPS AUTOMOTIVE L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES 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 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. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 27, 1998 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 28, 1997. CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS NET SALES: Net sales for the six months ended June 27, 1998 were $135.7 million as compared to $120.1 million for the six months ended June 28, 1997. The $15.6 million increase in sales is due to new bodycloth business on the Nissan Altima and higher sales levels of automotive carpet products. Molded floor carpet sales were positively impacted by increased sales to the Mercedes M-class and the GM APV. The increase is somewhat offset by reduced bodycloth sales on the Toyota Camry and lower carpet sales due to a strike at General Motors which began in June. The strike ended on July 29, 1998. GROSS PROFIT: Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 11.4% for the six months ended June 27, 1998 from 15.1% in the comparable period of 1997. The decrease in gross profit is due in part to lower volume and unfavorable product mix in automotive bodycloth and inefficiencies associated with relocation and closing of certain manufacturing facilities. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES: Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 4.2% to $8.3 million for the six months ended June 27, 1998 from $8.7 million in the comparable 1997 period. This decrease is a result of lower administrative costs resulting from the elimination of certain redundant sales and administrative functions in connection with the 1996 Acquisition. INTEREST EXPENSE: Interest expense decreased to $4.2 million for the six months ended June 27, 1998 from $5.6 million in the comparable period in 1997 primarily due to lower overall debt levels following the 1996 Acquisition. From the first quarter of 1997 through the second quarter of 1998, $25.0 million principal amount of Senior Notes have been repurchased, on the open market or otherwise, by JPS Automotive and retired. During the second quarter of 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, at interest rates equal to those charged to C&A Products under its revolving credit facility with The Chase Manhattan Bank. For the six months ended June 27, 1998, $0.2 million in net interest was charged to C&A Products in connection with these revolving credit arrangements. INCOME TAXES: The income tax provision for the six months ended June 27, 1998 decreased to $1.3 million from $1.8 million in the comparable period of 1997. INCOME FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS: Income from Airbag was $1.6 million for the six months ended June 28, 1997. Airbag was sold in July 1997. EXTRAORDINARY LOSS: For the six months ended June 27, 1998, JPS Automotive recognized an extraordinary loss of $86 thousand, net of income taxes of $58 thousand, relating to the purchase by JPS Automotive of $2.0 million principal amount of Senior Notes at prices in excess of carrying values. The extraordinary loss of $0.7 million, net of income taxes of $0.4 million, in the comparable period of 1997 relates to the purchase of $19.4 million principal amount of Senior Notes in excess of carrying values. NET INCOME: Net income decreased to $1.6 million for the six months ended June 27, 1998 from $2.9 million in the comparable period in 1997 primarily due to the reasons cited above. I-10 JPS AUTOMOTIVE L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONCLUDED) 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 borrowings, if necessary, 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 4 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.
