                   CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



     The following unaudited interim condensed financial


statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the


rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange


Commission.  Such financial statements have been reviewed by


Arthur Andersen & Co. in accordance with standards


established by the American Institute of Certified Public


Accountants.  As indicated in their report included herein,


Arthur Andersen & Co. does not express an opinion on these


statements.



     Certain information and note disclosures normally


included in annual financial statements prepared in


accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have


been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and


regulations, although the Company believes that the


disclosures made are adequate to make the information


presented not misleading.  In the Company's opinion, the


statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal


recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the


results of operations for the periods ending July 31, 1994


and July 25, 1993 and the balances as of July 31, 1994 and


April 24, 1994.  It is suggested that these condensed


financial statements be read in conjunction with the


financial statements and the notes thereto included in the


Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K.





            REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS




To the board of directors and shareholders of Fleetwood

Enterprises, Inc.:



     We have made a review of the accompanying condensed

consolidated balance sheet of FLEETWOOD ENTERPRISES, INC. (a

Delaware Corporation) and subsidiaries as of July 31, 1994,

and the related condensed consolidated statements of income

for the fourteen-week period ended July 31, 1994 and the

thirteen-week period ended July 25, 1993, the condensed

consolidated statements of  cash flows for the fourteen-week

period ended July 31, 1994 and the thirteen-week period ended

July 25, 1993 and the condensed consolidated statement of

changes in shareholders' equity for the fourteen-week period

ended July 31, 1994, in accordance with standards established

by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.


     A review of interim financial information consists

principally of obtaining an understanding of the system for

the preparation of interim financial information, applying

analytical review procedures to the financial data and making

inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting

matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit in

accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the

objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding

the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we

do not express such an opinion.


     Based on our review, we are not aware of any material

modifications that should be made to the condensed

consolidated financial statements referred to above for them

to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting

principles.


     We have previously audited, in accordance with generally

accepted auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet

of Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. and subsidiaries as of April

24, 1994, and the related consolidated statements of income,

cash flows and changes in shareholders' equity for the year

then ended (not presented herein), and, in our report dated

June 23, 1994 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those

consolidated financial statements.  In our opinion, the

information set forth in the accompanying condensed

consolidated balance sheet as of April 24, 1994, is fairly

stated, in all material respects, in relation to the

consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF


          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION



Current Quarter Compared to Same Quarter Last Year


Significant sales gains from both of the Company's major

business segments led to record earnings for the first quarter

of fiscal 1995.  Net income for the quarter ended July 31, 1994,

increased 115 percent to $29,252,000 or 63 cents per share, up

from $13,626,000 or 30 cents per share last year.  Last year's

first period earnings included a $1,500,000 charge or 3 cents

per share for a change in accounting for income taxes.  Also,

this year's first quarter contained 14 weeks compared to 13

weeks in last year's similar period.  Total revenues for the

Company reached $764.3 million for the quarter, 42 percent ahead

of last year's $537.4 million.


Strong demand for manufactured housing in most regions of the

country and an expanding Fleetwood market share resulted in the

highest quarterly housing revenues on record.  Housing revenues

jumped 55 percent in the first quarter to $351.9 million, up

from $227.6 million a year ago.  The Company sold 18,359 homes

in the period, 49 percent ahead of last year's first quarter.

Housing group sales represented 47 percent of total Company

revenues compared to 43 percent last year.


Recreational vehicle revenues reached a new first quarter high

of $389.9 million, 32 percent ahead of the $294.3 recorded a

year ago.  Strong sales gains from motor homes and travel

trailers led to the increase.  Motor home revenues were up 36

percent to a first quarter record $220.0 million on a 26

percent gain in unit volume to 4,668.  The travel trailer

division also posted record sales for a July quarter with a 29

percent increase to $135.4 million.  Unit volume was up 25

percent to 10,755.  The Company's folding trailer division

recorded revenues of $21.6 million, a new first quarter high

and 8 percent ahead of last year's exceptionally strong first

period.  Folding trailer shipments rose 1 percent to 5,257

units.  Fleetwood's European RV operation generated first

quarter revenues of $12.9 million, 66 percent ahead of last

year's $7.7 million.  Recreational vehicle sales accounted for

52 percent of total Company revenues, down from 56 percent last

year.


Manufacturing gross profit increased to 19.2 percent of sales

from 18.2 percent last year, reflecting higher profit margins

for both housing and recreational vehicles.  This resulted from

a combination of factors, including improved pricing,

relatively stable direct labor and raw material costs, and the

favorable effect of higher volume on certain manufacturing

overhead costs which are not directly variable with sales.


Operating expenses rose 32 percent to $103.9 million, but

decreased as a percentage of revenues from 14.7 percent to 13.6

percent, reflecting the effect of higher volume.  Selling

expenses of $43.4 million were up 54 percent, and also rose as

a percentage of revenues from 5.2 percent to 5.7 percent.  Cost

increases were primarily volume-related and included higher

product warranty expenses, as well as increases for sales

commissions, marketing programs and product financing.  General

and administrative expenses increased 19 percent to $60.5

million primarily due to higher employee compensation and

benefits, much of which was related to increased management

incentive compensation based upon improved profitability.


Non-operating income for the first quarter included net

interest income of $1.5 million, down 23 percent from $2.0

million last year.  The decline reflects reduced investment

income primarily caused by lower rates of return and higher

interest expense for the Company's European operation.


The combined Federal and state income tax rate increased to

40.3 percent from last year's 38.6 percent primarily due to

higher amounts accrued for state income taxes in the current

year.
