                          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 LLP in accordance with standards established by


the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  As indicated in their


report included herein, Arthur Andersen LLP 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 30, 1995 and July 31, 1994, and the balances as of


July 30, 1995 and April 30, 1995.  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 30, 1995, and the related condensed consolidated statements of

income for the thirteen-week period ended July 30, 1995 and the fourteen-week

period ended July 31, 1994, the condensed consolidated statements of  cash

flows for the thirteen-week period ended July 30, 1995 and the fourteen-week

period ended July 31, 1994 and the condensed consolidated statement of changes

in shareholders' equity for the thirteen-week period ended July 30, 1995, 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 30, 1995, 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 26, 1995

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 30, 1995, is fairly stated,

in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from

which it has been derived.

</TABLE>


Current Quarter Compared to Same Quarter Last Year


Net income for the 13-week period ending July 30, 1995 declined 22 percent to

$22,798,000 or 49 cents per share compared to $29,252,000 or 63 cents per

share for the corresponding 14-week period a year ago.  Revenues in the

current quarter were off six percent to $718.6 million compared to $764.3

million for the one-week longer period in the prior year.


The primary factors leading to the earnings decline were volume related.  The

loss of one week's sales in this year's first quarter was compounded by a

weakness in recreational vehicle sales.  A solid performance by the Company's

housing group was not enough to offset these factors.  In addition to volume,

earnings were affected by reduced RV margins resulting from competitive

pricing pressures and higher marketing and sales promotion costs, as well as

production inefficiencies at several plant locations.


The manufactured housing group generated record first quarter revenues of

$361.5 million, a three percent increase over last year's $351.9 million.

Unit volume of 17,634 homes was off four percent due to the shorter period.

The Company's excellent housing sales reflects a strong market demand for

manufactured housing as indicated by the growth in industry shipments which

were up 12 percent in the first six months of calendar 1995.  Housing group

sales represented 50 percent of total Company revenues compared to 46 percent

last year.


The recreational vehicle group registered sales of $332.3 million in the July

quarter, 15 percent below last year's $389.9 million.  The RV decline was

largely caused by shrinking demand for motor homes which fell 23 percent to

$168.6 million on a 26 percent drop in shipments to 3,464 units.  Travel

trailer revenues were also below the prior year, falling nine percent to

$123.4 million on an 11 percent decline in unit volume to 9,571.  The

Company's folding trailer and European divisions both recorded sales

increases.  Folding trailer sales of $22.0 million were up two percent on a

two percent rise in shipments to 5,370 units.  European RV sales rose 42

percent to $18.3 million.  Recreational vehicle sales accounted for 46 percent

of total Company revenues, down from 52 percent last year.


Manufacturing gross profit declined 9 percent or $13.7 million, and also fell

as a percentage of sales from 19.2 percent to 18.6 percent, primarily as a

result of lower RV margins.  Gross margins for the manufactured housing

segment were improved over the prior year reflecting higher product selling

prices and lower lumber costs.


The Company's European RV operation continued to operate at a loss in the

first quarter despite significantly higher sales volume.  The loss from

operations in the current period was $662,000, up from $396,000 a year ago.

This operation has had persistent operating losses over the past 3 years

reflecting inefficient production and high operating costs.


The Company's finance subsidiary recorded revenues of $13.8 million, 29

percent ahead of the prior year, primarily due to higher interest earned on

wholesale loan volume.  Net finance revenues, however, rose just 20 percent or

$1.2 million as borrowing costs increased at a faster rate than finance

revenues due to the competitive rate environment for consumer lending on

recreational vehicles.


Operating expenses declined one percent to $102.4 million, but increased as a

percentage of revenues from 13.6 percent to 14.3 percent on the lower sales

volume.  Selling expenses increased 11 percent to $48.1 million, and also rose

as a percentage of sales from 5.7 percent to 6.7 percent.  Most of the

increase stemmed from higher product warranty costs in manufactured housing as

a result of higher volume and increased focus on customer service, in addition

to higher marketing and sales promotion costs for recreational vehicles.

General and administrative expenses declined ten percent to $54.3 million, and

also decreased as a percentage of sales from 7.9 percent to 7.6 percent.  The

reduction was primarily due to lower employee compensation and benefits,

reflecting reduced management incentive compensation which is based on

profitability.


Non-operating income increased 26 percent and included $2.0 million of net

interest income which was up 33 percent from the prior year.  The increase

primarily reflects the effect of higher yields on temporary investments during

the current period.


The combined Federal and state income tax rate was 40.4 percent compared to

40.3 percent for last year's first quarter.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


The Company generally relies upon internally generated cash flows to fund

capital expenditures and to satisfy working capital needs for its

manufacturing operations.  Positive cash flows from operations in the first

quarter improved the Company's liquidity as cash and investments rose $46.1

million to $244.3 million.


Cash outflows during the July quarter included capital expenditures of $8.6

million and the quarterly shareholder dividend, which was increased from a per

share rate of 14 cents to 15 cents, of $6.9 million.  Cash outflows affecting

operations included $11.9 million expended for the purchase of Company-owned

life insurance (COLI) used to fund non-qualified benefit plans.  The increase

in cash surrender value of the COLI, which is included in "other assets" on

the balance sheet, substantially offset the insurance premiums paid.


Fleetwood Credit Corp., the Company's RV finance subsidiary, secured cash for

lending operations primarily through the issuance of commercial paper and the

sale to investors of securities backed by retail sales contracts on Fleetwood

recreational vehicles.  On July 31, 1995, Fleetwood Credit pre-sold $150

million of asset-backed securities which will become fully funded in September

1995.  As of July 31, 1995, the sale was funded to the extent of $87.7

million.


The finance subsidiary used the commercial paper market and long-term debt to

fund both its wholesale receivables, which are prime rate based, and its fixed-

rate retail installment sales contract receivables prior to their sale in the

asset-backed securities market.  To protect the value of the retail

installment sale contract portfolio from unfavorable changes in interest

rates, the finance subsidiary sometimes enters into interest rate exchange

agreements or other interest rate hedging transactions during the period

between origination of the receivables and their sale in the asset-backed

securities market.  During the July quarter, a hedging arrangement was in

effect in the form of a forward sale agreement of U.S. Treasury securities.

This agreement was closed out concurrent with the sale of retail receivables

on July 31, 1995, and no other agreements were outstanding at the end of the

quarter.  A loss of $4.2 million was incurred on the aforementioned forward

sale agreement, but this was offset by a corresponding increase in the value

of retail receivables.


The finance subsidiary maintains a committed revolving credit facility with a

number of major banks to support the issuance of commercial paper.  At July

30, 1995, these facilities totaled $350.0 million, none of which is being

used.
