            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 
October 26, 1997 and October 27, 1996, and the balances as of October 
26, 1997 and April 27, 1997.  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 October 26, 1997, and the related condensed 
consolidated statements of income for the thirteen and twenty-six week 
periods ended October 26, 1997 and October 27, 1996, the condensed 
consolidated statements of  cash flows for the twenty-six week periods 
ended October 26, 1997 and October 27, 1996, and the condensed 
consolidated statement of changes in shareholders' equity for the 
twenty-six week period ended October 26, 1997.  These financial 
statements are the responsibility of the company's management.

	We conducted our review in accordance with standards established 
by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of 
interim financial information consists principally of applying 
analytical 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 conducted 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 27, 1997, 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, 1997, 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 27, 1997, 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 quarter ended October 26, 1997 increased nine percent 
to a record $28.1 million or 77 cents per share compared to $25.8 
million or 68 cents per share in last year's similar period.  A rebound 
in profitability for the manufactured housing and supply groups 
stimulated the second quarter earnings gain, which was partially offset 
by lower recreational vehicle earnings.

Total revenues rose three percent to a record $769.1 million in the 
second quarter, up from $748.8 million a year ago, largely due to higher 
recreational vehicle sales.

Recreational vehicle revenues reached $366.6 million, five percent ahead 
of last year's $348.8 million.  Motor home revenues of $215.2 million 
were almost unchanged from last year's second quarter, despite an 11 
percent decline in unit volume to 3,144 motor homes.  Towable RV 
products did considerably better as both travel trailers and folding 
trailers produced sales gains.  Travel trailer revenues were up 11 
percent to $122.7 million as unit volume rose five percent to 8,319.  
Folding trailer sales jumped 31 percent to $28.7 million on a 15 percent 
gain in shipments to 5,472 units. Recreational vehicle sales accounted 
for 48 percent of total Company revenues, up from 47 percent last year.

Manufactured housing revenues for the second quarter were a record 
$390.7 million, up about one percent from last year's comparable period.  
A total of 17,248 homes were sold in the quarter, three percent below 
last year's similar period, but the number of floors shipped were two 
percent higher due to a heavier mix of multi-section homes.  Housing 
group sales represented 51 percent of total Company revenues which was 
unchanged from last year's second quarter.

Fleetwood's supply operations contributed second quarter revenues of 
$11.8 million compared to last year's $14.4 million.

Gross profit rose as a percentage of sales from 18.9 percent to 19.7 
percent, as improved manufactured housing margins more than offset lower 
RV margins.

Operating expenses increased six percent to $106.7 million, and rose as 
a percentage of sales from 13.4 percent to 13.9 percent.  Selling 
expenses climbed 12 percent to $50.0 million primarily reflecting higher 
sales promotion and advertising costs.  As a percentage of sales, 
selling expenses rose from 5.9 percent to 6.5 percent.  General and 
administrative expenses increased one percent to $56.7 million, but 
declined as a percentage of sales from 7.5 percent to 7.4 percent.  The 
dollar increase was primarily a result of higher management incentive 
compensation, which is directly related to improved profits.

The effective tax rate decreased from 39.2 percent to 38.7 percent 
primarily because of reduced state income tax accruals.

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

Earnings from continuing operations for the first six months of fiscal 
1998 rose seven percent to $59.1 million or $1.61 per share versus $55.1 
million and $1.32 per share for last year's first half.  Earnings per 
share increased an even greater 22 percent due to fewer outstanding 
shares stemming from large share repurchases last year.  The current 
year earnings improvement resulted from a non-recurring gain of $10.4 
million or 28 cents per share from a significant reinsurance transaction 
involving the Company's captive insurance operation.

Last year's first half included income from discontinued operations of 
$34.8 million or 83 cents per share which, when added to income from 
continuing operations, resulted in total earnings of $89.9 million or 
$2.15 per share.  The income from discontinued operations reflected an 
after-tax gain of $33.9 million or 81 cents per share from the sale of 
the Company's RV finance subsidiary.

Six-month RV revenues totaled $717.3 million, a two percent gain over 
last year's first half.  This improvement resulted from a six percent 
increase in travel trailer sales and a strong 35 percent gain in folding 
trailer volume.  Travel trailer sales totaled $242.0 million and folding 
trailers reached a record volume of $52.7 million.  Travel trailer 
shipments were up one percent to 16,873 units and folding trailer unit 
volume rose 23 percent to 10,192 units.  The motor home division 
recorded first half revenues of $422.7 million, off four percent from 
last year's record pace, while shipments dropped 16 percent to 6,461 
units.  This reflects a shift in product mix toward higher-priced and 
more fully-featured Class A motor homes.  RV revenues, as a percentage 
of total Company revenues, increased from 47 percent a year ago to 48 
percent in the current year.

For the first six months of fiscal 1998, housing revenues eased one 
percent to $757.3 million on a five percent drop in shipments to 33,607 
homes.  A shift to higher-priced multi-section homes resulted in a one 
percent increase in floor shipments.  Housing revenues remained 
unchanged from last year at 51 percent of total Company revenues.

For the six months, supply operations generated revenues of $22.9 
million versus $30.7 million in last year's first half.

Gross profit margin for the first half of fiscal 1998 declined from 19.2 
percent to 19.0 percent.  Both housing and recreational vehicle groups 
experienced higher direct labor and manufacturing overhead costs that 
more than offset material cost reductions.

Operating expenses rose three percent to $207.5 million, and also 
increased as a percentage of sales from 13.5 percent to 13.9 percent.  
As a percentage of sales, selling expenses were up from 5.8 percent a 
year ago to 6.5 percent, while general and administrative expenses fell 
from 7.6 percent to 7.4 percent this year.  Selling expenses increased 
11 percent to $97.0 million primarily due to higher promotional and 
advertising costs and product warranty and service expenses.  General 
and administrative expenses declined three percent to $110.5 million 
reflecting lower insurance costs and slightly reduced management 
incentive compensation for the first half of fiscal 1998.

Non-operating income of $18.9 million included $16.2 million for the 
reinsurance transaction previously mentioned.  Investment income was 
down 39 percent to $4.9 million, reflecting higher cash balances 
available for investment last year primarily as a result of the sale of 
Fleetwood Credit Corp.

The effective tax rate for the current year was 38.6 percent compared to 
39.4 percent last year, largely reflecting reduced state income tax 
accruals.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company generally relies upon internally generated cash flows to 
satisfy working capital needs and to fund capital expenditures.  Cash 
generated from operations improved to $92.2 million for the first half 
of fiscal 1998 compared to $53.4 million last year.  This change 
primarily reflects a $30.3 million difference in the change in inventory 
levels, year over year.

Last year's cash flows included $132.2 million, net of income taxes, 
received from the sale of Fleetwood Credit Corp.  These proceeds, along 
with the sale of investment securities, yielded net cash from investing 
activities of $295.0 million in last year's first half, most of which 
was used to make share repurchases.  In the first six months of last 
year, the Company purchased approximately 23 percent of its outstanding 
Common stock at a cost of $311.7 million.  Also, $25.0 million in long-
term debt was retired last year.

Cash outlays in the current year included $12.2 million in dividends to 
shareholders and $13.7 million for capital expenditures.  This compares 
with $13.0 million and $22.3 million, respectively, last year.

Millennium Computer Project

The Company is dependent on a cluster of centralized computers to 
provide data in support of vital company-wide operational and accounting 
functions.  Many of the computer routines used to generate this data 
were programmed in-house, following the common practice of using only 
two digits to designate a year.  As a consequence, as we approach the 
year 2000, programs with date-related logic will not be able to 
distinguish between the years 1900 and 2000, potentially causing 
software and hardware to fail, generate erroneous calculations or 
present information in an unusable form.  In recognition of this 
potential, the Company launched a "Year 2000" conversion project in 
February 1996 to correct and fully test all offending computer codes by 
mid-1998.  At this date, the project is progressing as planned and is 
expected to be completed on schedule.  Given these efforts, management 
does not anticipate any appreciable impact on Company operations 
consequent to the use of the Company's computer systems in the new 
millennium.
