                   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 January 23, 1994


and January 24, 1993 and the balances as of January 23, 1994 and


April 25, 1993.  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 January 23, 1994,

and the related condensed consolidated statements of income for

the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended January 23, 1994

and January 24, 1993, the condensed consolidated statements of

cash flows for the thirty-nine week periods ended January 23,

1994 and January 24, 1993 and the condensed consolidated

statement of changes in shareholders' equity for the thirty-nine

week period ended January 23, 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 25,

1993, 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 24, 1993 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 25,

1993, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to

the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


                        JANUARY 23, 1994



1) Reference to Annual Report


   Reference is made to the Notes to Consolidated Financial

   Statements included in the Company's Form 10-K annual report

   for the year ended April 25, 1993.  As disclosed in Note 1 of

   the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, per share

   amounts and equivalent shares outstanding have been restated

   to reflect a two-for-one split of the Company's Common stock

   effected in the form of a stock dividend in the fourth

   quarter of fiscal 1993.

   

2) Change in Accounting for Income Taxes


   Effective with the beginning of fiscal year 1994, the Company

   adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,

   "Accounting for Income Taxes."  This new standard requires

   that deferred tax balances be calculated using tax rates in

   effect when the taxes will be paid.  The adoption of this

   accounting standard results in a slight adverse effect on the

   Company's earnings and working capital in the period of the

   change because the Company's deferred tax balances exceed its

   deferred tax credits.  Included in the consolidated statement

   of income for the nine months ended January 23, 1994 is a

   cumulative charge of $1.5 million or 3 cents per share which

   represents a catch-up adjustment to recalculate deferred tax

   balances.  Prior years' financial statements have not been

   restated as a result of this change.


   The provision for income taxes is comprised of the following

   for the nine months ended January 23, 1994 (dollars in

   thousands):


       Current:

          Federal                           $29,024

          Foreign                               194

          State                           5,027

                                             34,245

       Deferred:

          Federal                           (3,296)

          State                               (470)

                                            (3,766)

                                            $30,479


   The deferred income tax provision resulted from the following

temporary differences in the  recognition of revenues and

expenses for tax and financial reporting purposes for the nine

   months ended January 23, 1994 (dollars in thousands):


       Dealer volume rebates                 $(403)

Deferred compensation                       (1,027)

       Insurance reserves                   (8,252)

       Depreciation                             517

       Other financial accruals               5,399

                                           $(3,766)


   The components of the Company's deferred income tax benefit

(liability) as of January 23, 1994 are as follows (dollars in

thousands):


       Insurance reserves                   $24,343

       Deferred compensation                 11,604

       Warranty reserves                     11,611

       Dealer volume rebates                  2,792

       Depreciation                         (4,183)

       Other financial accruals              10,363

                                            $56,530


             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

                                

          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

                                


Current Quarter Compared to Same Quarter Last Year


Net income for the quarter ended January 23, 1994 increased 12

percent to $12,112,000 or 26 cents per share compared to $10,811,000

or 23 cents per share recorded in last year's similar period.

Revenues climbed 23 percent to a third quarter record $548.6 million,

up from $445.0 million a year ago.  The improved earnings are

primarily being driven by strong growth in sales of manufactured

housing.  The earnings results have been moderated somewhat by lower

profits from the recreational vehicle group which is experiencing

margin pressure despite achieving good sales growth.


Housing group revenues reached an all-time high for the January

quarter and for the nine-month period as well.  Sales for the quarter

jumped 32 percent to $251.7 million compared to last year's $190.0

million.  Unit volume rose 23 percent in the winter quarter to 13,475

homes.  This improvement reflects the continuing recovery in the

manufactured housing market and a rising market share for the

Company.  Housing group sales represented 46 percent of total Company

revenues compared to 43 percent last year.


Recreational vehicle revenues were the highest for any third quarter

on record, rising 16 percent to $278.3 million compared to $240.3

million a year ago.  The increase largely reflects an upturn in

domestic motor home sales which rose 24 percent to $164.0 million on

a 21 percent rise in unit volume to 3,266 units.  In the towables

category, the travel trailer division achieved record sales of $94.6

million, 14 percent ahead of last year's January period.  Travel

trailer shipments were up 14 percent to 7,659 units.  The folding

trailer division experienced a slight 1 percent sales decline to

$14.4 million on a 6 percent drop in unit volume to 3,603 units.

With the European economy in the midst of a recession, the Company's

RV operation in Germany recorded revenues of $5.3 million in the

third quarter, down from $10.3 million a year ago.  Recreational

vehicle sales accounted for 51 percent of total Company revenues,

down from 54 percent last year.


Manufacturing gross profit was 17.4 percent of sales, down from 18.4

percent last year, primarily due to rising lumber costs in housing

and the effect of competitive pricing in the towables segment of the

RV market.


Operating expenses increased 15 percent to $79.8 million, but dropped

as a percentage of revenues from 15.6 percent to 14.5 percent

reflecting the higher sales volume.  Selling expenses rose 35 percent

to $32.1 million, primarily due to higher product warranty costs and

sales promotion expenses.  General and administrative expenses rose 4

percent to $47.7 million largely due to higher employee compensation

and benefits.  Much of this was related to increased staffing

requirements for new housing operations.


Non-operating income in the third quarter included net interest

income of $1.2 million compared to $1.9 million a year ago.  The

reduced investment income resulted from lower rates of return and

smaller invested balances.


The combined Federal and state income tax rate was 43.9 percent

compared to last year's 37.7 percent.  The higher rate this year

reflects not only the increase in the U.S. Federal corporate tax

rate, but also the effect of no tax benefit for losses from the

Company's European operation.




Current Year-To-Date Compared to Same Period Last Year


Earnings for the nine months were $42,813,000 or 93 cents per

share, after recording a one-time charge of $1,500,000 or 3 cents

per share in the first quarter to reflect a change in accounting

for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards

No. 109.  This compares to $40,879,000 or 89 cents per share for

the similar period last year.  Consolidated revenues increased 19

percent to $1.65 billion, the highest nine-month revenues in the

Company's history.  This compares to $1.39 billion for the

corresponding period last year.


Housing revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 1994 surged

31 percent to $739.9 million, the highest nine-month revenues on

record.  Unit volume rose 21 percent to 40,233 homes.  Housing

group sales represented 45 percent of total Company revenues

compared to 41 percent last year.


The RV group achieved record nine-month revenues of $864.0

million, 10 percent ahead of last year's $783.2 million.  Domestic

motor home sales increased 12 percent to $491.7 million on an 8

percent rise in unit volume to 10,615 units.  Revenues for the

folding trailer division jumped 23 percent to a record $55.0

million on the strength of sales gains in the first six months.

Folding trailer shipments matched the 23 percent revenue gain with

unit volume of 14,157.  The travel trailer division posted a 4

percent increase in revenues to $299.3 million, as shipments rose

3 percent to 24,089 units.  European RV sales for the first nine

months of fiscal 1994 were $17.9 million.  Recreational vehicle

sales accounted for 52 percent of total Company revenues, down

from 56 percent last year.


Manufacturing gross profit declined to 18.1 percent of sales from

19.3 percent last year, largely for the same reasons discussed in

the comparison of quarterly results.


Operating expenses rose 11 percent to $242.5 million, but

decreased as a percentage of revenues from 15.7 percent to 14.7

percent reflecting the effect of higher volume as discussed

earlier.  Selling expenses of $92.4 million were up 21 percent

primarily due to higher product warranty costs and increases in

product financing and sales promotion expenses.  General and

administrative expenses increased 6 percent to $150.1 million

largely due to higher employee compensation and benefits as

discussed previously, along with increased costs for product

development activities.


Non-operating income in the first nine months included net

interest income of $5.5 million, down from $6.6 million reported

last year, due to reasons discussed previously.


For basically the same reasons explained in the quarterly

comparison, the combined Federal and state income tax rate rose to

41.3 percent for the current nine-month period, up from 38.0

percent in last year's comparable period.
