1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization
Foamex International Inc. (the "Company") operates in the flexible
polyurethane and advanced polymer foam products industry. The Company's
operations are primarily conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Foamex
L.P. Foamex L.P. conducts foreign operations through Foamex Canada Inc. ("Foamex
Canada"), Foamex Latin America, Inc. and Foamex Asia, Inc. Financial information
concerning the business segments of the Company is included in Note 10.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited
and do not include certain information and disclosures required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete
financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary to present
fairly the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations,
have been included. These interim financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes
included in the Company's 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Results for interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of results for a full year.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 28, 2003 has been
derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include
all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.

quarters ended March 28, 2004 and March 30, 2003 because the Company has a
loss and the inclusion of potential incremental shares would be
antidilutive.

3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"), encourages, but does not require,
companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation
plans at fair value. The Company has chosen to continue to account for
stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" ("APB No. 25"), and related interpretations. Accordingly, the Company
records expense in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the quoted market
price on the grant date over the option price.
The following table includes as reported and proforma information required
by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure ("SFAS No. 148"). Proforma
information is based on the fair value method under SFAS No. 123.

(4) Includes $11.4 million in 2004 and $12.0 million in 2003 of deferred credit

Senior Secured Credit Facility
The $240.0 Million Senior Secured Credit Facility consists of a revolving
credit facility with a maximum availability of $190.0 million and an initial
term loan of $50.0 million. The revolving credit facility includes a $50.0
million sublimit for letters of credit and availability is limited to eligible
amounts, as defined, of accounts receivable and inventory. At March 28, 2004,
Foamex L.P. had available borrowings of approximately $45.7 million and letters
of credit outstanding of $21.4 million. Borrowings under the term loan are
limited to eligible amounts, as defined, of equipment and real estate.
Substantially all the assets of Foamex L.P. and its domestic subsidiaries and
Foamex Canada are pledged as collateral for the related borrowings. Borrowings
under the revolving credit facility and the term loan bear interest at floating
rates based upon and including a margin over either LIBOR or a Base Rate, as
defined. At March 28, 2004, the weighted average interest rates were 4.30% and
4.36% for the revolving loans and the term loan, respectively. The term loan
requires quarterly installment payments of
8
FOAMEX INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
6. LONG-TERM DEBT AND REVOLVING CREDIT BORROWINGS (continued)
approximately $1.8 million, which commenced on September 30, 2003. All
borrowings under the $240.0 Million Senior Secured Credit Facility will mature
on April 30, 2007. The $240.0 Million Senior Secured Credit Facility includes
both a subjective acceleration clause and a lockbox arrangement which requires
all lockbox receipts be used to repay revolving credit borrowings. Accordingly,
borrowings under the revolving credit facility are classified as current in the
accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 28, 2004 and
December 28, 2003 as required by Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 95-22,
"Balance Sheet Classification of Borrowings Outstanding Under Revolving Credit
Agreements that Include both a Subjective Acceleration Clause and a Lockbox
Arrangement" ("EITF No. 95-22").
The $80.0 million term loan facility (the "Secured Term Loan") will mature
on April 30, 2007. Borrowings under this facility will bear interest at a rate
that is 9.25% plus the greater of the Reference Rate, as defined, or 4.25%. The
minimum rate, which is in effect as of March 28, 2004, is 13.50%. In addition,
Foamex L.P. is subject to a 1.00% facility fee which is payable annually on the
anniversary date. Borrowings under the Secured Term Loan are collateralized by
the same collateral as the $240.0 Million Senior Secured Credit Facility. An
intercreditor agreement governs the distribution of collateral among the lenders
under the $240.0 Million Senior Secured Credit Facility and the Secured Term
Loan.
10 3/4% Senior Secured Notes
The 10 3/4% Senior Secured Notes were issued by Foamex L.P. and Foamex
Capital Corporation on March 25, 2002 and are due on April 1, 2009. The notes
are guaranteed on a senior basis by all of Foamex L.P.'s domestic subsidiaries
that guarantee the $240.0 Million Senior Secured Credit Facility. The notes are
secured on a second-priority basis (subject to permitted liens) on substantially
the same collateral that secures the obligations under the $240.0 Million Senior
Secured Credit Facility and the Secured Term Loan. The notes rank effectively
junior to all senior indebtedness that is secured by first priority liens and
senior in right of payment to all subordinated indebtedness. Interest is payable
April 1 and October 1. The notes may be redeemed at the option of Foamex L.P.,
in whole or in part, at any time on or after April 1, 2006. The initial
redemption is at 105.375% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, thereon to the date of redemption and declining annually to
100.0% on or after April 1, 2008. Additionally, on or before April 1, 2005, up
to 35.0% of the principal amount of the notes may be redeemed at a redemption
price equal to 110.750% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, thereon to the date of redemption with the net proceeds of one
or more equity offerings.
Upon the occurrence of a change of control, as defined, each holder will
have the right to require Foamex L.P. to tender for such notes at a price in
cash equal to 101.0% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any.
Effective May 1, 2002, the Company completed a series of interest rate swap
transactions with notional amounts aggregating $300.0 million. The Company
designated, documented and accounted for these interest rate swaps as fair value
hedges of the Company's 10 3/4% Senior Secured Notes due April 1, 2009. The risk
being hedged in these transactions was the change in fair value of the Company's
10 3/4% Senior Secured Notes based on changes in the benchmark interest rate,
LIBOR. The effect of these interest rate swap transactions was to convert the
fixed interest rate on the senior secured notes to floating rates reset twice
per year to correspond with the interest payment dates for the 10 3/4% Senior
Secured Notes. On September 18, 2002, the Company unwound the interest rate swap
transactions in exchange for net cash proceeds of $18.4 million, including $3.6
million realized through lower effective interest rates while the swap
transactions were in effect. The unwinding resulted in a deferred credit of
$14.8 million which is being amortized through April 1, 2009, using the
effective interest rate method.
9 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes
The 9 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes were issued by Foamex L.P. and Foamex
Capital Corporation and are due on June 15, 2007. The notes represent
uncollateralized general obligations of Foamex L.P. and are subordinated to all
Senior Debt, as defined in the Indenture. Interest is payable June 15 and
December 15. The notes may be redeemed at the option of Foamex L.P., in whole or
in part, at any time on or after June 15, 2002. The initial
9

6. LONG-TERM DEBT AND REVOLVING CREDIT BORROWINGS (continued)
redemption was 104.938% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, thereon to the date of redemption and declining annually to
100.0% on or after June 15, 2005. At March 28, 2004, the redemption price was
103.292% plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Upon the occurrence of a change of control, as defined, each holder will
have the right to require Foamex L.P. to tender for such notes at a price in
cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon. The notes are subordinated in right of payment to all
senior indebtedness and are pari passu in right of payment to the 13 1/2% Senior
Subordinated Notes (described below).
13 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes
The 13 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes were issued by Foamex L.P. and Foamex
Capital Corporation and are due on August 15, 2005. The notes represent
uncollateralized general obligations of Foamex L.P. and are subordinated to all
Senior Debt, as defined in the Indenture. Interest is payable semiannually on
February 15 and August 15. The notes may be redeemed at the option of Foamex
L.P., in whole or in part, at any time on or after August 15, 2000. The initial
redemption was 106.75% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, thereon to the date of redemption and declining annually to
100.0% on or after August 15, 2004. At March 28, 2004, the redemption price was
101.6875% plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Upon the occurrence of a change of control, as defined, each holder will
have the right to require Foamex L.P. to tender for such notes at a price in
cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, thereon. The notes are subordinated in right of the
payment of all senior indebtedness and are pari passu in right of payment to the
9 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes (described above).
Industrial Revenue Bonds ("IRBs")
IRB debt includes a $1.0 million bond that matures in 2005 and a $6.0
million bond that matures in 2013. Interest is based on a variable rate, as
defined, with options available to Foamex L.P. to convert to a fixed rate. At
March 28, 2004, the interest rate was 1.10% on the $1.0 million bond and 1.09%
on the $6.0 million bond. The maximum interest rate for either of the IRBs is
15.0% per annum.
If Foamex L.P. exercises its option to convert the bonds to a fixed
interest rate structure, the IRBs are redeemable at the option of the
bondholders. The obligations are collateralized by certain properties, which
have an approximate net carrying value of $10.9 million at March 28, 2004.
Other
Other debt includes a non-interest bearing promissory note with a principal
amount of $0.9 million at March 28, 2004 issued in connection with increasing
the Company's interest in an Asian joint venture to 70.0% in 2001. The
promissory note had unamortized discount of $0.1 million at March 28, 2004.
Debt Covenants
The indentures and other indebtedness agreements contain certain covenants
that limit, among other things, the ability of the Company's subsidiaries (i) to
pay distributions or redeem equity interests, (ii) to make certain restrictive
payments or investments, (iii) to incur additional indebtedness or issue
Preferred Equity Interests, as defined, (iv) to merge, consolidate or sell all
or substantially all of its assets, or (v) to enter into certain transactions
with affiliates or related persons. In addition, certain agreements contain
provisions that, in the event of a defined change of control or the occurrence
of an undefined material adverse change in the ability of the obligor to perform
its obligations, the indebtedness must be repaid, in certain cases, at the
option of the holder. Under the most restrictive of the distribution
restrictions, the Company could be paid by its subsidiaries, as of March 28,
2004, funds only to the extent to enable the Company to meet its tax payment
liabilities and its normal operating expenses of up to $1.5 million annually, so
long as no default or event of default has occurred.

The Company previously disclosed that it anticipated estimated retiree
benefit plan contributions of $11.8 million for fiscal 2004. During the quarter
ending March 28, 2004, the Company contributed $0.1 million and there has been
no change in estimated contributions for fiscal 2004. Actuarial valuations are
in process for fiscal 2004 that will determine the actual contribution
requirements and net periodic pension benefit cost.
8. INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate was 48.4% for the quarter ended March 28, 2004 and
was based on the forecasted annual rate for 2004 applied to the loss for the
quarter ended March 28, 2004. The higher effective tax rate compared to the
Federal statutory rate of 35% was primarily related to the U.S. taxation of
earnings from the Company's Canadian subsidiary and a higher effective tax rate
applicable to the Company's Mexican subsidiaries. Partially offsetting this
increase was the impact of equity income from a joint venture, which is
considered permanently invested with no deferred tax liabilities recognized.

8. INCOME TAXES (continued)
The effective tax benefit rate for 2003 was 2.8%. The lower effective tax
rate compared to the Federal statutory rate of 35% was primarily related to a
high percentage of forecasted equity income from the joint venture, for which no
deferred tax liabilities were recognized.

Litigation
The Company is party to various lawsuits, both as defendant and plaintiff,
arising in the normal course of business. It is the opinion of management that
the disposition of these lawsuits will not, individually or in the aggregate,
have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of
operations or cash flows. If management's assessment of the Company's liability
relating to these actions is incorrect, these actions could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of
operations and cash flows.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)
As of March 28, 2004, the Company had accrued approximately $1.0 million
for litigation and other matters in addition to the environmental matters
discussed below.
Environmental and Health and Safety
The Company is subject to extensive and changing federal, state, local and
foreign environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to the use,
handling, storage, discharge and disposal of hazardous substances, the discharge
or emission of materials into the environment, and the remediation of
environmental contamination, and as a result, is from time to time involved in
administrative and judicial proceedings and inquiries relating to environmental
matters. As of March 28, 2004, the Company had accruals of approximately $2.3
million for environmental matters, including approximately $2.1 million related
to remediating and monitoring soil and groundwater contamination and
approximately $0.2 million related to sites where the Company has been
designated as a Potentially Responsible Party or "PRP" and other matters.
Additional losses, if any, in excess of amounts currently accrued, cannot be
reasonably estimated at this time. If there are additional matters or if current
estimates are incorrect, there could be a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
On August 31, 2002, Environment Canada, the Canadian environmental
regulatory agency, finalized a rule which would require flexible polyurethane
foam manufacturing operations to reduce methylene chloride (dichloromethane) air
emissions. The proposed rule establishes a 50.0% reduction in methylene chloride
emissions by December 1, 2004 and 100.0% reductions by January 1, 2007. The
Company does not believe that this standard will require it to make material
expenditures for its Canadian plants.
The Company previously had reported to the appropriate state authorities
that it had found soil and/or groundwater contamination in excess of state
standards at certain locations. Seven sites are currently in various stages of
investigation or remediation. Accordingly, the extent of contamination and the
ultimate liability is not known with certainty for all sites. During 2000, the
Company reached an indemnification agreement with the former owner of the
Morristown, Tennessee facility. The agreement allocates the incurred and future
remediation costs between the former owner and the Company. The estimated
allocation of future costs for the remediation of this facility is not
significant, based on current known information. The former owner was Recticel
Foam Corporation, a subsidiary of Recticel s.a.
The Company has either upgraded or closed all underground storage tanks at
its facilities in accordance with applicable regulations.
The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act,
or "CERCLA," and comparable state laws impose liability without fault for the
costs of cleaning up contaminated sites on certain classes of persons that
contributed to the release of hazardous substances into the environment at those
sites, for example, by generating wastes containing hazardous substances which
were disposed at such sites. The Company is currently designated as a PRP by the
EPA or by state environmental agencies or other PRPs, pursuant to CERCLA or
analogous state statutes, with respect to eleven sites. Estimates of total
cleanup costs and fractional allocations of liability are often provided by the
EPA, the state environmental agency or the committee of PRPs with respect to the
specified site. Based on these estimates (to the extent available) and on known
information, in each case and in the aggregate, the Company does not expect
additional costs, if any, to be material to liquidity, results of operations or
financial position.
The possibility exists that new environmental legislation and/or
environmental regulations may be adopted or other environmental conditions,
including the presence of previously unknown environmental contamination, may be
found to exist or a reassessment of the potential exposure to pending
environmental matters may be necessary due to new information or future
developments, that may require expenditures not currently anticipated and that
may be material.

Income from Operations
Net sales for the quarter ended March 28, 2004 decreased 4% to $313.6
million from $328.2 million in the quarter ended March 30, 2003. The decrease
was primarily attributable to lower net sales in the Automotive Products
segment, due to lower volume including sourcing actions by major customers,
partially offset by higher net sales in the Foam Products segment primarily due
to higher volume and improved product mix.
The gross profit was $39.8 million, or 12.7% of net sales, in the quarter
ended March 28, 2004 compared to $30.5 million, or 9.3% of net sales, in the
2003 period. Gross profit margin continues to improve from the unusually low
levels experienced in late 2002 and early 2003 primarily due to profit
improvements in Foam Products and lower operating costs in Carpet Cushion
Products, partially offset by the lower volume in the Automotive Products
segment.
Income from operations for the quarter ended March 28, 2004 was $13.2
million, or 4.2% of net sales, which represented a 37% increase from $9.6
million, or 2.9% of net sales, reported during the 2003 period. The improved
gross profit margin, described above, was partly offset by higher selling,
general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased $5.1 million, or 24%, due primarily to a $3.7 million charge
to bad debt expense as a result of a customer bankruptcy along with employee
termination costs and higher promotional expenses. Restructuring charges were
$0.5 million in 2004 as we eliminated a number of sales and administrative
positions.
15
FOAMEX INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
We anticipate net sales to continue to be lower than 2003 primarily due to
declines in the Automotive Products segment, while overall operating margins
should continue to be improved from 2003.
Foam Products
Foam Products net sales for the quarter ended March 28, 2004 increased 14%
to $134.4 million from $118.2 million in the 2003 period primarily due to higher
volumes of value-added products. Income from operations increased 135%, to $16.3
million in the quarter ended March 28, 2004 from $6.9 million in the 2003 period
principally as a result of the improved volume mix. Income from operations was
12.1% of net sales in 2004, up from 5.9% in 2003.
Carpet Cushion Products
Carpet Cushion Products net sales for the quarter ended March 28, 2004
decreased 6% to $46.1 million from $49.1 million in the 2003 period on volume
declines. We closed several carpet cushion facilities during 2002 and 2003.
Income from operations was $1.3 million in the quarter ended March 28, 2004
compared to a $0.6 million loss in the 2003 period as lower raw material costs
and manufacturing costs from the 2002 and 2003 plant closures led to improved
margins. Income from operations represented 2.8% of net sales in 2004 and the
loss from operations was 1.3% of net sales in 2003.
Automotive Products
Automotive Products net sales for the quarter ended March 28, 2004
decreased 22% to $94.0 million from $121.1 million in the 2003 period. The
decline was primarily due to lower volume including sourcing actions by our
major customers. We anticipate this trend of lower volumes in this segment will
continue with total 2004 net sales expected to be approximately $380.0 million
compared to $447.1 million in 2003. Income from operations decreased 47% to $5.0
million in the 2004 period compared to $9.4 million in the 2003 period,
principally due to the decline in sales volume and higher operating costs.
Income from operations represented 5.3% of net sales in 2004 and 7.8% of net
sales in 2003.
Technical Products
Net sales for Technical Products for the quarter ended March 28, 2004
decreased 4% to $31.1 million from $32.4 million in the 2003 period. Increases
in unit volume were more than offset by lower average selling prices due to
product mix. Income from operations was $8.9 million in the 2004 period nearly
the same as in the 2003 period. Income from operations represented 28.5% of net
sales in 2004 compared to 27.6% of net sales in 2003.
Other
Other primarily consists of certain manufacturing operations in Mexico
City, corporate expenses not allocated to business segments and restructuring,
impairment and other charges (credits). The increased loss from operations
primarily reflects higher bad debt expense and a restructuring charge of $0.5
million.
During the quarter ended March 28, 2004, our Chairman resigned by mutual
agreement with the Board of Directors. The $1.4 million of cost associated with
his separation agreement has been largely offset by the reversal of amounts
related to retirement provisions of his prior employment contract that are no
longer payable under the terms of his separation agreement.
Interest and Debt Issuance Expense
Interest and debt issuance expense was $18.6 million in the quarter ended
March 28, 2004, which represented a 3% decrease from the 2003 period expense of
$19.1 million. The decrease is primarily due to lower amortization of debt
issuance costs.
16
FOAMEX INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Income from Equity Interest in Joint Ventures
The income from equity interests was $0.3 million for the quarter ended
March 28, 2004 compared to income of $0.4 million in the 2003 period.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income, net was $1.0 million for the quarter ended March 28, 2004
compared to other expense of $1.6 million for the quarter ended March 30, 2003.
The 2004 period includes foreign currency transaction gains of $0.3 million,
principally related to operations in Mexico, compared to foreign currency
transaction losses of $1.4 million related to operations in both Mexico and
Canada in 2003. Also included in 2004 were $0.9 million of gains on asset
disposals.
Benefit for Income Taxes
The effective tax rate was 48.4% for the quarter ended March 28, 2004 and
was based on the forecasted annual rate for 2004 applied to the loss for the
quarter ended March 28, 2004. The higher effective tax rate compared to the
Federal statutory rate of 35% was primarily related to the U.S. taxation of
earnings from the Company's Canadian subsidiary and a higher effective tax rate
applicable to the Company's Mexican subsidiaries. Partially offsetting this
increase was the impact of equity income from a joint venture, which is
considered permanently invested with no deferred tax liabilities recognized.
The effective tax benefit rate for 2003 was 2.8%. The lower effective tax
rate compared to the Federal statutory rate of 35% was primarily related to a
high percentage of forecasted equity income from the joint venture, for which no
deferred tax liabilities are recognized.
We have net deferred tax assets of $124.4 million as of March 28, 2004 that
primarily represent the benefit of future tax deductions and net operating loss
carryforwards available to offset future taxable income in the U.S. In order to
realize these assets, we must generate sufficient U.S. taxable income in the
future. Our net operating loss carryfowards of approximately $267.3 million as
of December 28, 2003 expire from 2010 to 2023. If we are unable to generate
sufficient future taxable income to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards
on a timely basis, we may need to establish a valuation allowance against some
or all of our deferred tax assets. We evaluate our deferred tax assets on a
quarterly basis to determine if there is a change in circumstances that may
cause a change in our judgment about the realizability of deferred tax assets.
Any valuation allowance that may be required to be established as a result of
this evaluation process could have a material adverse effect on future results
of operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our operations are conducted through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Foamex
L.P. Our liquidity requirements consist primarily of the operating cash
requirements of Foamex L.P.
Foamex L.P.'s liquidity requirements consist principally of the need to
fund accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable, scheduled payments of
interest on outstanding indebtedness, capital expenditures and employee and
non-employee benefits. We believe that cash flow from Foamex L.P.'s operating
activities, cash on hand and periodic borrowings under its credit facility will
be adequate to meet our liquidity requirements for the next twelve months.
Scheduled principal payments on Foamex L.P.'s debt are not significant until the
second half of 2005 when the $51.6 million of 13 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes
mature (see Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). The
ability of Foamex L.P. to make distributions to us is restricted by the terms of
its financing agreements. We expect to have only limited access to the cash flow
generated by Foamex L.P. for the foreseeable future.
17
FOAMEX INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Cash and cash equivalents were $4.3 million at March 28, 2004 compared to
$6.6 million at December 28, 2003. Working capital at March 28, 2004 was $23.9
million and the current ratio was 1.08 to 1 compared to working capital at
December 28, 2003 of $31.1 million and a current ratio of 1.11 to 1.
Total long-term debt and revolving credit borrowings at March 28, 2004 were
$743.2 million, down $2.4 million from December 28, 2003. As of March 28, 2004,
there were $98.1 million of revolving credit borrowings under the $240.0 Million
Senior Secured Credit Facility with $45.7 million available for borrowings and
$21.4 million of letters of credit outstanding. Revolving credit borrowings at
March 28, 2004 reflect working capital requirements.
The $240.0 Million Senior Secured Credit Facility consists of a revolving
credit facility with a maximum availability of $190.0 million and an initial
term loan of $50.0 million. The revolving credit facility includes a $50.0
million sublimit for letters of credit and availability is limited to eligible
amounts, as defined, of accounts receivable and inventory. Borrowings under the
term loan are limited to eligible amounts, as defined, of equipment and real
estate. Substantially all the assets of Foamex L.P. and its domestic
subsidiaries and Foamex Canada are pledged as collateral for the related
borrowings. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility and the term loan
bear interest at floating rates based upon and including a margin over either
LIBOR or a Base Rate, as defined. At March 28, 2004, the weighted average
interest rates were 4.30% and 4.36% for the revolving loans and the term loan,
respectively. The term loan requires quarterly installment payments of
approximately $1.8 million. All borrowings under the $240.0 Million Senior
Secured Credit Facility will mature on April 30, 2007.
The $80.0 million Secured Term Loan will mature on April 30, 2007.
Borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate that is 9.25% plus the
greater of Reference Rate, as defined, or 4.25%. The minimum rate, which was in
effect as of March 28, 2004, is 13.50%. In addition, Foamex L.P. is subject to a
1.00% facility fee which is payable annually on the anniversary date. Borrowings
under the Secured Term Loan are collateralized by the same collateral as the
$240.0 Million Senior Secured Credit Facility. An intercreditor agreement
governs the distribution of collateral among the lenders under the $240.0
Million Senior Secured Credit Facility and the Secured Term Loan.
Under the $240.0 Million Senior Secured Credit Facility and the Secured
Term Loan, Foamex L.P. is subject to a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, as
defined, of 1.00. For the three quarters ended March 28, 2004, Foamex L.P.'s
fixed charge coverage ratio was 1.05. Foamex L.P. is also subject to a maximum
annual capital expenditure amount which is $36.0 million for the year ending
January 2, 2005.
Our 13 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes with a face value of $51.6 million
are due on August 15, 2005. We must generate sufficient cash flow to repay these
notes or obtain additional financing. However, we may not be able to obtain
financing at a reasonable cost, or at all, which may have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition. We may, from time to time, directly or
indirectly make purchases of these notes or our other public debt in the open
market or in private transactions.
Effective May 1, 2002, Foamex L.P. completed a series of interest rate swap
transactions with notional amounts aggregating $300.0 million. Foamex L.P.
designated, documented and accounted for these interest rate swaps as fair value
hedges of its 10 3/4% Senior Secured Notes due April 1, 2009. The risk being
hedged in these transactions was the change in fair value of the 10 3/4% Senior
Secured Notes based on changes in the benchmark interest rate, LIBOR. The effect
of these interest rate swap transactions was to convert the fixed interest rate
on the 10 3/4% Senior Secured Notes to floating rates reset twice per year to
correspond with the interest payment dates for the 10 3/4% Senior Secured Notes.
On September 18, 2002, Foamex L.P. unwound the interest rate swap transactions
in exchange for a net cash proceeds of $18.4 million, including $3.6 million
realized through lower effective interest rates while the swap transactions were
in effect. The unwinding resulted in a deferred credit of $14.8 million, which
is being amortized over the term of the 10 3/4% Senior Secured Notes, using the
effective interest rate method.
In the second quarter of 2004, we renewed a lease agreement for a foam
pouring facility that expired in 2004 and we anticipate the ability to renew
other facility leases that expire in 2004. The lease renewal on the foam pouring
facility will increase rent expense by approximately $0.8 million annually.

FOAMEX INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
We anticipate contributing approximately $11.8 million to our pension plans
in 2004. Actuarial valuations are in process for fiscal 2004 that will determine
the actual funding requirements.
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities in the quarter ended March 28, 2004
was $1.0 million compared to cash provided of $5.1 million in the quarter ended
March 30, 2003. Inventories increased $11.1 million in the quarter ended March
28, 2004, while accounts payable increased by $6.3 million. The increases in
inventories and accounts payable are primarily due to advance purchases of major
chemical raw materials in anticipation of price increases.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
Investing activities provided $0.1 million for the quarter ended March 28,
2004. Cash requirements included capital expenditures of $1.2 million and
capitalized software development costs of $0.9 million. These uses were offset
by proceeds from asset disposals of $2.2 million. In the quarter ended March 30,
2003, cash used for investing activities was $3.2 million, which consisted of
capital expenditures of $2.0 million and capitalized software development costs
of $1.2 million. The estimated capital expenditures and software development
costs for the full year 2004 are expected to be approximately $10.0 million and
approximately $4.2 million, respectively.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
Cash used for financing activities was $3.5 million for the quarter ended
March 28, 2004 and consisted principally of scheduled payments of the term loan
under the $240.0 Million Senior Secured Facility and the net proceeds from the
asset sale used to make an additional payment on the Term Loan as required under
the facility. Cash used for financing activities in 2003 was $3.7 million
consisting of a decrease in cash overdrafts, partially offset by an increase in
revolver borrowings.
Environmental Matters
We are subject to extensive and changing environmental laws and
regulations. Expenditures to date in connection with our compliance with such
laws and regulations did not have a material adverse effect on our operations,
financial position, capital expenditures or competitive position. The amount of
liabilities recorded in connection with environmental matters as of March 28,
2004 was $2.3 million. Although it is possible that new information or future
developments could require us to reassess its potential exposure to all pending
environmental matters, including those described in Note 11 to our condensed
consolidated financial statements, we believe that, based upon all currently
available information, the resolution of all such pending environmental matters
will not have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial position,
capital expenditures or competitive position.
Market Risk
The Company has debt securities with variable interest rates subject to
market risk for changes in interest rates. On March 28, 2004, indebtedness with
variable interest rates aggregated $229.6 million. On an annualized basis, if
the interest rates on these debt instruments increased by 1.0%, interest expense
would increase by approximately $2.3 million.

Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the specified time periods. In designing and
evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that
any system of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and executed,
can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control
objectives.
On April 2, 2004, the Company filed a current report on Form 8-K which
disclosed that the Company's former independent public accountants had
communicated certain matters to the Company involving internal controls that
they considered to be reportable conditions under standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A reportable condition is an
internal control weakness that represents a significant deficiency in the design
or operation of internal control which could adversely affect an organization's
ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data consistent with
management's assertions in the financial statements. These reportable conditions
concerned matters relating to: (1) the integration of the Company's information
technology systems; (2) the design and operation of access and security controls
of the Company's information technology systems; (3) inventory procedures,
processes and systems, including both performance and review and (4) the
preparation of the Company's quarterly financial reports.
Management, under the guidance of the Audit Committee, is in the process of
remediating the reportable conditions. The Company is in the process of
installing a new enterprise-wide information technology system which it expects
to substantially complete and implement by the end of 2005. Several modules of
the system have already been installed and others are currently in the process
of being implemented. The Company has addressed and remediated substantially all
of the information technology security issues. The Company has implemented
certain improved inventory procedures and processes at each of its facilities
and is taking appropriate actions to ensure their effectiveness including more
formalized training of personnel and additional management oversight. The
Company performs monthly physical counts and reconciliations of inventory at
each of its plants and will continue to do so until perpetual inventory records
are implemented upon completion of the enterprise wide information technology
system. The inventory procedures are formally documented and include
requirements that account reconciliations are reviewed monthly and a checklist
of the tasks performed are prepared and reviewed monthly. The Company has
strengthened and continues to address the controls over the preparation of its
quarterly financial reports including more extensive and stringent analytical
review procedures applied to its results as well as developing task logs and
checklists to facilitate the accuracy and completeness of its financial
statements and required disclosures. The Company has codified and standardized
closing journal entries across it facilities and has formalized the review and
approval process for such journal entries. Additionally, the Company has
implemented a standardized consolidation and reporting system.
The Company does not consider the reportable conditions discussed above,
either individually or in the aggregate, to be a material weakness as that term
is defined under standards established by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants. As discussed above, the Company is taking actions to
remediate the reportable conditions and has concluded that the existence of the
reportable conditions does not have a material impact on its disclosure controls
and procedures.
The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and
procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 as of March 28, 2004 and have
concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective
as of March 28, 2004. The Company's management, including the Chief Executive
Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, also evaluated the Company's internal
control over financial reporting to determine whether any changes occurred
during the quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over
financial reporting. Other than as described above, there have been no changes
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
