Item 2.          Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On November 16, 1995, pursuant to the terms of an Asset Transfer Agreement
dated as of November 16, 1995, by and among JPS Textile Group, Inc. ("JPS" or
the "Company"), JPS Carpet Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
("Carpet"), Gulistan Holdings Inc. ("Transferee") and Gulistan Carpet Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Transferee ("Gulistan"), the Company consummated
the transfer of substantially all of the assets of Carpet used in the business
of designing and manufacturing tufted carpets for sale to residential,
commercial and hospitality markets (the "Carpet Business").  In addition, the
Transferee agreed to assume substantially all of the liabilities and
obligations associated with the Carpet Business.  Transferee was formed and is
owned by certain members of the former management team at Carpet.

The consideration for the Carpet Business was approximately $34.1 million,
consisting of $22.8 million of cash paid at closing and debt and equity
securities of Transferee with an estimated fair value of $11.3 million, subject
to certain post-closing adjustments based on the audited amount of working
capital transferred on November 16, 1995.  The consideration was determined by
arms-length negotiations between the parties.

The Company will apply the net cash proceeds of approximately $19.0 million
(net of fees, expenses and the estimated post-closing adjustment resulting from
the level of working capital transferred at the closing date) to reduce
outstanding borrowings under its bank credit agreement.  Additional information
regarding the transfer of the Carpet Business is contained in the press release
issued by the Company on November 16, 1995, filed as Exhibit 20.1 hereto and
incorporated herein by reference.

JPS TEXTILE GROUP, INC.
INTRODUCTION TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(UNAUDITED)


The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed Income Statements for the nine
months ended July 29, 1995 and the year ended October 29, 1994 present the
results of the continuing operations of JPS Textile Group, Inc. assuming that
the transfer of the Carpet Business, as described in item 2 of this report, was
consummated as of the beginning of the periods indicated.  The statements
include all material adjustments necessary to present historical results
reflecting these assumptions.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of July 29,
1995 assumes that the transfer of the Carpet Business occurred on July 29,
1995.  The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as
presented assumes a net debt reduction of approximately $23.6 million from the
cash consideration for the transfer of the Carpet Business, including a cash
consideration adjustment based on working capital that would have been
transferred on July 29, 1995.

The pro forma financial information does not purport to be indicative of the
results of operations or the financial position which would have actually been
obtained if the transfer of the Carpet Business had been consummated on the
dates indicated.  In addition, the pro forma financial information does not
purport to be indicative of the results of operations or the financial position
of the Company which may be attained in the future.

The pro forma financial information has been prepared by the Company and all
calculations have been made based upon assumptions deemed appropriate.  Certain
of these assumptions are set forth under the Notes to Pro Forma Consolidated
Condensed Financial Information.  As of the date of this filing, the Company
has reasonably completed its quantification of the final accounting for the
transfer of the Carpet Business based upon currently available information.
Such information may be revised at a later date based upon additional
information.  The consideration amount is subject to adjustment based on
audited working capital transferred on November 16, 1995.  The amount of such
adjustment is expected to be approximately $3 million payable to Transferee.

The pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the
Company's historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in its
1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

There has not been a prior public filing in which the Carpet Business was given
discontinued operations treatment.  Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments to
the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed Income Statements for the nine
months ended July 29, 1995 and the year ended October 29, 1994 and the
Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of July 29, 1995
reflect all adjustments necessary to remove the operating results and net
assets of the Carpet Business from those of the Company.
