I-3 5 JPS AUTOMOTIVE INC. 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, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("JPS Automotive"). In the opinion of management of JPS Automotive, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) 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. JPS Automotive's fiscal year ends on the last Saturday of December. The 2000 fiscal year will consist of 53 weeks. In a 53-week year, JPS Automotive's policy is to include the additional week in the first quarter of the year. As a result, the quarter ended April 1, 2000 consisted of 14 weeks. The quarters ended September 30, 2000, July 1, 2000, September 25, 1999, June 26, 1999 and March 27, 1999 consisted of 13 weeks. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in JPS Automotive's Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 1999 (the "1999 10-K"). On December 11, 1996, Collins & Aikman Corporation ("C&A"), through its subsidiaries, acquired JPS Automotive L.P. and subsidiaries ("JPS Automotive L.P.") 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 L.P. from Foamex and a 99% limited partnership interest in JPS Automotive L.P. from Foamex - JPS Automotive L.P. ("FJPS"). PACJ, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of C&A Products with no operations, acquired a .0001% general partnership interest in JPS Automotive L.P. from JPSGP Inc. ("JPSGP"). Accordingly, 100% of the partnership interests in JPS Automotive L.P. were owned by PACJ, Inc. and C&A Products, which were, respectively, indirect and direct wholly-owned subsidiaries of C&A. Additionally, on December 11, 1996, C&A Products also acquired from Seiren Co. Ltd. and its affiliates a minority interest in Cramerton Automotive Products, L.P. and Cramerton Management Corporation, which were JPS Automotive L.P. subsidiaries that were merged in December 1997 under the name Cramerton Automotive Products, Inc. ("Cramerton"). JPS Automotive L.P. subsequently acquired the minority interest previously held by C&A Products and now owns 100% of Cramerton. On January 28, 2000, JPS Automotive L.P. merged with and into its general partner PACJ, Inc. In the merger, all of the outstanding limited partnership interests previously owned by C&A Products and the general partnership interests held by PACJ, Inc. were canceled without any payment being made thereon. As a result of the merger, PACJ, Inc. has changed its name to JPS Automotive, Inc. and has assumed all of the obligations under the indenture governing the JPS Automotive 11-1/8% Senior Notes due 2001 (the "Senior Notes"). The merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests and prior year financial information has been restated to reflect the merger. Prior to the merger, the operations of PACJ, Inc. consisted of interest income on its intercompany loan with C&A Products. During the quarter and nine months ended September 25, 1999, $46 thousand and $134 thousand, respectively, of interest income has been reflected in the accompanying statements of operations related to this loan. At December 25, 1999, $2.4 million was outstanding on this intercompany loan. Net income (loss) is the only component of comprehensive income (loss). During the quarters ended September 30, 2000 and September 25, 1999, JPS Automotive recognized a comprehensive loss of $0.3 million and $4.2 million, respectively. Comprehensive income was $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to a comprehensive loss of $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 25, 1999. JPS Automotive repurchased $38 million principal amount of JPS Automotive Senior Notes on the open market at prices in excess of carrying value resulting in an extraordinary charge of $0.7 million during the third quarter of 2000. The remaining Senior Notes mature June 15, 2001 and have been classified as current in the accompanying September 30, 2000 condensed consolidated balance sheet. 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 $2.1 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, and $0.7 million and $2.0 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 25, 1999, respectively. Accumulated amortization at September 30, 2000 was $10.1 million. The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed periodically based on the projected undiscounted cash flows and pre-tax income over the remaining amortization periods. Should this I-4 6 JPS AUTOMOTIVE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) review indicate that the goodwill balance will not be recoverable, JPS Automotive's carrying value of the goodwill will be reduced. At September 30, 2000, JPS Automotive believes the recorded value of its goodwill of $95.7 million is fully recoverable. 3. INVENTORIES: The components of inventories consist of (in thousands): September 30, December 25, 2000 1999 ------ ------ Raw materials and supplies $1,873 $2,492 Work in process .......... 3,885 2,752 Finished goods ........... 61 1,668 ------ ------ $5,819 $6,912 ====== ====== 4. RESTRUCTURING: On February 10, 1999, C&A Products announced a comprehensive plan (the "Reorganization") to reorganize its global automotive carpet, acoustics, plastics and accessory floormats businesses. During 1999, JPS Automotive recognized a restructuring charge related to the Reorganization of $0.3 million, representing severance costs associated with the reduction of administrative personnel at JPS Automotive's carpet facility. As of September 30, 2000, approximately $0.3 million had been spent in severance and related costs. On September 22, 1999, JPS Automotive completed the sale of its facility located in Cramerton, North Carolina for a sales price of $6 million, resulting in a loss on the sale of $4.9 million, and additional asset impairments, of certain machinery and equipment used in production, of $2.0 million. In addition, JPS Automotive established a reserve of $1.4 million for severance costs to be paid to the approximately 150 employees affected by the sale. At September 30, 2000, all employees affiliated with the Cramerton facility had been terminated. As of September 30, 2000, approximately $1.3 million had been spent in severance and related costs. During the third quarter of 2000, JPS Automotive and C&A Products completed the relocation of the headliner business from the Cramerton, North Carolina facility to a C&A Products facility where C&A Products is producing headliner for JPS Automotive on a subcontract basis. 5. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS: At September 30, 2000, C&A Products has pledged the ownership interests in its significant subsidiaries, including its interests in JPS Automotive, as security for debt of C&A Products totaling $414.9 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 former 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 pre-existing 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 the 1999 10-K. During the first quarter of 2000, JPS Automotive evaluated the terms of its arrangement with C&A Products to produce automotive carpet on a subcontract basis for a particular program and determined that certain costs had been I-5 7 JPS AUTOMOTIVE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) excluded from the fee calculations. As a result, JPS Automotive billed C&A Products approximately $1.2 million, representing the cumulative amount owed to JPS Automotive for 1997, 1998 and 1999 under the terms of the intercompany arrangements. JPS Automotive paid or accrued the following amounts in connection with the transactions and arrangements described above and related transactions for the quarters ended September 30, 2000 and September 25, 1999: (i) $1.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively, for administrative and other services, and (ii) $29.4 million and $26.8 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 quarters ended September 30, 2000 and September 25, 1999, JPS Automotive recorded sales of $5.5 million and $5.6 million, respectively, relating to contract manufacturing services (including the sale of roll goods) provided to C&A Products and its subsidiaries. JPS Automotive paid or accrued the following amounts in connection with the transactions and arrangements described above and related transactions for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and September 25, 1999: (i) $5.6 million and $5.5 million, respectively, for administrative and other services, and (ii) $86.5 million and $74.7 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 nine months ended September 30, 2000 and September 25, 1999, JPS Automotive recorded sales of $20.0 million and $14.7 million, respectively, relating to contract manufacturing services (including the sale of roll goods) provided to C&A Products and its subsidiaries. C&A Products and JPS Automotive entered into several additional arrangements 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 equal to the rate charged to C&A Products under its revolving credit agreement. During the third quarter of 2000, C&A Products was charged $49 thousand in net interest related to these revolving credit arrangements. No interest was charged during the quarter ended September 25, 1999. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and September 25, 1999, C&A Products was charged $0.1 million and $12 thousand, respectively, in net interest related to these revolving credit arrangements. In accordance with C&A Products' normal practice, C&A Products designed and produced 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. During December 1999, as permitted by the indenture governing the Senior Notes, JPS Automotive purchased accounts receivable from a subsidiary of C&A Products located in Mexico for $4.8 million, representing a gross balance of $5.1 million, discounted at 5%. The purchased receivables have terms similar to JPS Automotive's trade accounts receivable. At September 30, 2000 there was an outstanding balance of $0.7 million owed to JPS Automotive under this arrangement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, approximately $0.2 million of income was recognized. JPS Automotive and C&A Products generally settle intercompany balances within ten days after a period end. In December 1999, C&A Products began offering a two percent discount for early payment of intercompany balances. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2000, JPS Automotive paid intercompany payable balances with C&A Products of $21.2 million and $61.7 million, respectively, prior to September 30, 2000, and received a discount of $0.4 million for the quarter and $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. During the nine months ended September 25, 1999, Cramerton incurred costs of approximately $1.1 million related to the construction of additional space at a C&A Products facility and the purchase of additional machinery and equipment for the production of bodycloth. C&A Products is manufacturing bodycloth for JPS Automotive on a subcontract basis at this location. On September 22, 1999, JPS Automotive completed the sale of its facility in Cramerton, North Carolina. JPS Automotive and C&A Products I-6 8 JPS AUTOMOTIVE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) completed the relocation of Cramerton's headliner business to a C&A Products facility where C&A Products is producing headliner for JPS Automotive on a subcontract basis. In connection with this move, during the nine months ended September 30, 2000, Cramerton capitalized costs of $0.1 million related to the purchase of additional machinery and equipment for the production of headliner. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2000, JPS Automotive recorded $0.4 million as an estimated amount due from C&A Products under the terms of the Tax Sharing Agreement. For the nine months ended September 25, 1999, JPS Automotive recorded $1.1 million as an estimated amount due to C&A Products under the terms of the Tax Sharing Agreement. 6.

See Note 5. 7. 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 future 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 I-8 10 JPS AUTOMOTIVE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) condition or future 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 remains contingently liable for these environmental liabilities. Although it is possible that new information or future events could require JPS Automotive to reassess its potential exposure relating to its exposure for environmental matters, management believes that, based on the facts presently known to it, the resolution of such environmental matters will not have a material adverse effect on JPS Automotive's consolidated financial condition or future results of operations. The possibility exists, however, that new environmental legislation may be passed 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, and there can be no assurance that JPS Automotive has identified or properly assessed all potential environmental liabilities arising from its activities or properties, its present and former subsidiaries and their corporate predecessors. 8. NEWLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS: In April 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants 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 and 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 was reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. JPS Automotive adopted SOP 98-5 on December 27, 1998. The initial impact of the adoption of SOP 98-5 at the beginning of fiscal 1999 was $0.8 million, net of income taxes of $0.5 million. In September 1999, the FASB's Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a consensus regarding EITF Issue No. 99-5, "Accounting for Pre-Production Costs Related to Long-Term Supply Arrangements" ("EITF No. 99-5"). EITF No. 99-5 requires that design and development costs for products to be sold under long-term supply arrangements be expensed as incurred, and costs incurred for molds, dies and other tools that will be used in producing the products under long-term supply agreements be capitalized and amortized over the shorter of the expected useful life of the assets or the term of the supply arrangement. The consensus can be applied prospectively to costs incurred after December 31, 1999 or as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle as of the beginning of a company's fiscal year. JPS Automotive adopted the provisions of EITF No. 99-5 on a prospective basis on December 26, 1999. The adoption of EITF No. 99-5 did not have a material impact on JPS Automotive's financial position or the results of operations. At September 30, 2000, JPS Automotive had no assets recognized pursuant to agreements that provide for contractual reimbursement of pre-production design and development costs or molds, dies and other tools that are customer-owned and approximately $0.3 million for molds, dies and other tools that JPS Automotive owns.

("Products Corp.") is a joint obligor (and co-registrant) with JPS Automotive, Inc. of the 11-1/8% Senior Notes due 2001 (the "Senior Notes"), which had an outstanding balance of $48.4 million (including a premium of $0.3 million) as of September 30, 2000. I-11 13 JPS AUTOMOTIVE INC. 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 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 produces and supplies a complete line of automotive textiles and specialty textile products to North American automobile and light truck manufacturers. 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. NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 25, 1999. JPS Automotive's fiscal year ends on the last Saturday of December. The 2000 fiscal year will consist of 53 weeks. In a 53-week year, JPS Automotive's policy is to include the additional week in the first quarter of the year. As a result, the nine months ended September 30, 2000 consisted of 40 weeks compared to 39 weeks for the nine months ended September 25, 1999. Therefore, sales in all divisions and associated costs and expenses were impacted by the longer reporting period for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. NET SALES: Net sales for JPS Automotive for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 decreased 11.2% from $196.0 million to $174.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The primary reason for the sales decline is attributable to program run-outs in Automotive Fabric. GROSS PROFIT: Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 remained relatively flat at 10.2% compared to 10.0% for the nine months ended September 25, 1999. SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES: Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased 15.9% to $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, down $1.4 million from the comparable 1999 period. The decrease is related to reduced expenses resulting from the relocation of the Cramerton, North Carolina fabrics facility to another fabrics facility. This decrease is partially offset by additional provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable by Automotive Carpet. RESTRUCTURING: During the nine months ended September 25, 1999, JPS Automotive recognized a restructuring charge of $6.6 million. Approximately $4.9 million of the charge represents the loss on the sale of the Cramerton, North Carolina fabrics facility. The remaining $1.7 million relates to severance benefits for the approximately 150 employees affected by the sale. In addition, JPS Automotive recognized $0.3 million of severance expense related to employee reductions occurring at JPS Automotive's Carpet facility in conjunction with a reorganization at C&A Products. INTEREST EXPENSE: Interest expense, net of interest income, was $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $6.3 million for the nine months ended September 25, 1999. The decrease is due to a lower outstanding balance on the JPS Automotive Senior Notes. JPS Automotive repurchased $38 million principal amount of JPS Automotive Senior Notes during the third quarter of 2000. OTHER INCOME: JPS Automotive had other income of $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $0.1 million in the comparable 1999 period The increase is primarily due to income recognized on the accounts receivable purchased from a subsidiary of C&A Products in December, 1999. INCOME TAXES: JPS Automotive recognized an income tax provision of $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to an income tax benefit of $0.5 in the comparable 1999 period. JPS Automotive's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was 42.9% compared to 22.6% for the nine months ended September 25, 1999. The percentage increase is due to the impact of certain state taxes and nondeductible goodwill, which do not fluctuate with income. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE: During the third quarter of 2000, JPS Automotive recognized an extraordinary charge of $0.7 million in connection with the repurchase of $38 million principal amount of JPS Automotive Senior Notes on the open market at prices in excess of carrying value. I-12 14 JPS AUTOMOTIVE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE: JPS Automotive adopted the provisions of Statement of Position No. 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities" ("SOP 98-5") at the beginning of 1999. SOP 98-5 provides guidance on the financial reporting of start-up costs and organization costs and requires that all nongovernmental entities expense the costs of start-up activities as these costs are incurred instead of being capitalized and amortized. The initial impact of SOP 98-5 resulted in a charge of $0.8 million, net of income taxes of $0.5 million. NET INCOME: Net income was $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to a net loss of $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 25, 1999 primarily due to the reasons cited above. I-13 15 JPS AUTOMOTIVE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 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 capital contributions and borrowings 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 5 to JPS Automotive's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. During the quarter, $38.0 million principal amount of the JPS Automotive Senior Notes were repurchased by JPS Automotive on the open market and retired. The JPS Automotive Senior Notes will mature in June, 2001. JPS Automotive currently plans to satisfy the obligation with cash generated from operations, with a portion being refinanced by C&A Products.
