          Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
                  Operations and Financial Condition

                                                          
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          INTERCO INCORPORATED (the "Company") is a major manufacturer of
          residential furniture.  The Company has two primary operating
          subsidiaries, Broyhill Furniture Industries, Inc. and The Lane
          Company, Incorporated.

          On November 17, 1994, the Company simultaneously refinanced the
          majority of its outstanding indebtedness and distributed to holders
          of its common stock the common stock of The Florsheim Shoe Company
          and the common stock of Converse Inc. (which, in aggregate,
          represented the Company's footwear segment).  Upon completion of
          this restructuring, the Company retained no ownership interest or
          management control of the  footwear businesses.  Accordingly, the
          financial results of the footwear businesses have been reflected as
          discontinued  operations  for  all  periods  presented,  and  the
          Company's financial results of prior years have been restated.

          Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 1995 and 1994
          --------------------------------------------------------
          Selected financial information for the three months ended March 31,
          1995 and 1994 is presented below:

          ($ in millions, except per share data)

                                          ----- ----------     ----------------
       Net sales                          285.9   100.0%        268.8   100.0%
       Earnings from operations            21.3     7.4%         19.8     7.4%
       Interest expense                     8.8     3.1%          9.3     3.5%
       Income tax expense                   5.5     1.9%          5.0     1.8%
       Net earnings from continuing 
         operations                         7.7     2.7%          5.9     2.2%
       Net earnings per common share from
         continuing operations              0.15    -             0.11    -

          For the three months ended March 31, 1995, net sales increased by
          $17.1 million, or  6.4%, compared  to an increase  for the  three
          months  ended March  31,  1994  of  9.1%.    The  improved  sales
          performance was achieved by both operating divisions and resulted
          from  continued  customer  acceptance  of  product offerings  and
          marketing programs.

          Earnings from operations for the three months ended March 31, 1995
          increased by $1.5 million or 7.6% over the same period of the prior
          year.  Earnings from  operations were 7.4% of net sales  for both
          periods.  The improvement in operating earnings is a result of the
          favorable sales performance, management emphasis on  gross profit
          improvement and the absence of start-up costs incurred last year at
          a new motion upholstery manufacturing facility and state-of-the-art
          finishing system, partially offset  by lower utilization rates at
          certain of the Company's manufacturing facilities and raw material
          price increases.

          Interest  expense totaled $8.8 million for the three months ended
          March 31, 1995, compared to $9.3 million for the same period last
          year.  The reduction in interest expense reflects the change in the
          Company's debt structure as a result of the November 17, 1994 long-
          term debt refinancing and shareholder distribution.

          For the three months ended March 31, 1995, the Company provided for
          income  taxes of $5.5 million on pretax earnings of $13.2 million
          resulting in an effective  income tax rate of 41.3%.  The Company
          provided for income taxes  of $5.0 million on pretax  earnings of
          $10.9 million for  the three  months ended March  31, 1994  which
          represented  an effective tax rate  of 45.6%.   The effective tax
          rates  for  each  period   were  adversely  impacted  by  certain
          nondeductible expenses incurred and provisions for state and local
          taxes.

          Net earnings per common share from continuing operations on both a
          primary and fully diluted  basis were $0.15 for the  three months
          ended March 31, 1995, compared with $0.11 for the same period last
          year.  Average common and common equivalent shares outstanding used
          in the calculation of net earnings per common  share on a primary
          and  fully   diluted  basis   were  50,626,060  and   50,626,841,
          respectively,  for  the three  months  ended March  31,  1995 and
          51,788,883 and 51,814,255, respectively, for the three months ended
          March 31, 1994.

          FINANCIAL CONDITION

          Working Capital
          ---------------
          Cash and cash  equivalents at  March 31, 1995  amounted to  $32.1
          million, unchanged from December 31, 1994.  During the three months
          ended March 31,  1995, net cash provided  by operating activities
          totaled  $14.6 million,  net  cash used  by investing  activities
          totaled $4.3 million  and net cash  used by financing  activities
          totaled $10.3 million.

          Working capital was $305.8 million at March 31, 1995, compared to
          $307.0 million at December 31, 1994. The current ratio was 3.7 to
          1 at March 31, 1995, compared to 4.1 to 1 at December 31, 1994.

          Financing Arrangements
          ----------------------
          As of March 31, 1995, long-term debt, including current maturities,
          consisted of the following, in millions:


              Secured credit agreement            277.5
              Receivables securitization 
                 facility                         130.0
              Industrial revenue bonds              7.2
              Federal tax obligation                3.1
                                                  -----
                                                  417.8
                                                  =====

          To   meet  short-term   working  capital   and   other  financial
          requirements, the Company maintains a $75 million revolving credit
          facility as part of its Secured Credit  Agreement with a group of
          banks.  The revolving credit facility allows for both issuance of
          letters  of  credit  and  cash  borrowings.    Letter  of  credit
          outstandings are limited to no more than $35 million for the first
          year of the facility,  with $5 million annual  increases up to  a
          maximum limitation of  $50 million.  Cash  borrowings are limited
          only by the facility's maximum availability less letters of credit
          outstanding.   At March 31,  1995, there were  no cash borrowings
          outstanding under  the revolving credit  facility; however, there
          were $20.7 million in letters of credit outstanding.

          In addition to the revolving credit facility, the Company also had
          $20  million  of  excess   availability  under  its   Receivables
          Securitization Facility as of March 31, 1995.

          The Company believes its revolving credit facility, together with
          cash generated from operations, will be adequate to meet liquidity
          requirements for the foreseeable future.

NOTES TO STATEMENT RE COMPUTATION OF NET EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE



   (1)  Includes common stock options, the exercise of which would result 
        in dilution of net earnings per common share.  Such common stock
        options have been considered as exercised and the proceeds therefrom
        were used to purchase common stock at the average common stock market
        price, if the average common stock market price was higher than the
        common stock option exercise price during the period. 

   (2)  Includes common stock warrants, the exercise of which would result 
        in dilution of net earnings per common share.  Such common stock
        warrants have been considered as exercised and the proceeds therefrom
        were used to purchase common stock at the average common stock market
        price, if the average common stock market price was higher than the
        common stock warrant exercise price during the period.

   (3)  Additional common shares issuable resulting from the application of
        the same Note (1), except that the proceeds from assumed common stock
        options exercised were used to purchase common stock at the month end
        common stock market price, if the month end common stock market price 
        was higher than the average common stock market price during the 
        period.

   (4)  Additional common shares issuable resulting from the application of the
        of the same principles described in Note (2), except that the proceeds
        from assumed common stock warrants exercised were used to purchase
        common stock at the month end common stock market price, if the month
        end common stock market price was higher than the average common stock
        market price during the period.
