NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)


(a)  Statement of information furnished

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflects all
adjustments which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments which are in
the opinion of management necessary to present fairly the financial position
as of June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the results of operations for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the cash flows for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.

(b)  Earnings per share

Primary earnings per share are computed by dividing net income less Preferred
Stock dividends (declared or cumulating) by the weighted average number of
shares of Common Stock, Class A Stock, Class B Stock and other common stock
equivalents outstanding:  7,643,000 and 7,634,000 in the six months of 1996
and 1995, respectively.  Fully diluted earnings per share are computed by
dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock,
Class A Stock, Class B Stock and other common stock equivalents (assuming
conversion of Subordinated Debentures) outstanding during the year: 
10,196,000 and 10,187,000 in the six months of 1996 and 1995, respectively.

(c)  Exchange of Preferred Stock

On March 15, 1996, NYCOR exchanged the Preferred Stock for the 8 1/2%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2012 at a rate of $20 principle
amount of Debenture for each share of Preferred Stock.  The Debentures are
convertible into Common Stock at a rate of 1.11 shares of Common Stock and
1.11 shares of Class A Stock for each $20 in principle amount of Debentures. 
As a result of this exchange, long-term debt increased by $22,806,000, and
total stockholders equity was reduced by $21,656,000.

(d)  Short-term borrowing

NYCOR had a $3,000,000 revolving credit facility with a commercial bank
collateralized by all tangible and intangible assets, except for the
machinery and equipment at Rotorex.  The facility expired April 30, 1996 and
the amount outstanding was paid off subsequent to the Merger on August 15,
1996.

Item 7  PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                (Unaudited)

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements are based upon the consolidated financial statements of Fedders
Corporation (the "Company") and NYCOR, Inc. ("NYCOR"), adjusted to give
effect to the Merger which was consummated on August 13, 1996.  In accordance
with the terms of the Merger, the Company issued one share of a new Fedders
Convertible Preferred Stock, with terms to support an initial market value of
$6.25 per share, for each share of NYCOR Common, Class A and Class B Stock
(approximately 7,643,000 shares in total).  Each share of Fedders Convertible
Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of Fedders Class A Stock and
entitles the holder to a cumulative dividend at an annual rate of 6.1%.  

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements give
effect to the Merger accounted for as a purchase, are based upon an
allocation of the purchase price of $47,769,000 and include the adjustments
described in the notes attached hereto.  The pro forma condensed consolidated
financial statements also give effect to NYCOR's exchange, on March 15, 1996,
of $23,000,000 in face value of outstanding Preferred Stock for 8 1/2%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2012, as though such exchange had
occurred at the beginning of the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet of
the Company combines the historical consolidated balance sheet of Fedders as
of May 31, 1996 with the historical consolidated balance sheet of NYCOR as of
June 30, 1996 as if the Merger had occurred on May 31, 1996.  The
accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of
operations for the nine months ended May 31, 1996 and the year ended August
31, 1995 combine the historical consolidated statements of operations of
Fedders for those periods, with the historical consolidated statements of
operations of NYCOR for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 and the twelve
months  ended September 30, 1995, respectively, all as if the Merger had
occurred on August 31, 1994.  NYCOR's results for the nine months ended June
30, 1996 and Fedders results for the nine months ended May 31, 1996 do not
include the seasonal shutdowns which normally occur in the month of August.

The pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily
indicative of the results that would have been obtained if the Merger had
occurred on the dates indicated or for any future period or date.  The pro
forma adjustments give effect to available information and assumptions that
the Company believes are reasonable.  The pro forma condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the
historical consolidated financial statements of NYCOR and the notes thereto,
all of which are incorporated herein by reference.  See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.  Pro forma adjustments giving effect to the Merger in the unaudited pro
forma condensed statements of operations reflect the following:

(a)  The elimination of intercompany sales of compressors by NYCOR to Fedders 
including the decrease in unrealizable intercompany profit of $208,000 during
the year ending August 31, 1995 and the decrease in unrealized intercompany
profit of $63,000 during the nine months ended May 31, 1996.

(b)  The increase of amortization expense resulting from the increase in
goodwill (assuming amortization over 40 years) which amounted to $286,000 for
the year ended August 31, 1995 and $214,000 for the nine months ended May 31,
1996.

(c)  The reduction of administrative expenses resulting from the elimination
of redundant costs related to the existence of a separate public company. 
Such redundant costs include franchise taxes, reports to stockholders, audit
fees, bank fees and others.

(d)  The increase in interest expense and decrease in Preferred Stock
dividends related to NYCOR's exchange of Preferred Stock for 8 1/2%
Subordinated Debentures due 2012.

(e)  The tax effect on adjustments (a), (b), (c) and (d), above, calculated
at the Company's marginal tax rate of 38% which amounted to a benefit of
$581,000 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1995 and $286,000 for the nine
months ended May 41, 1996.

(f)  The reduction in the Company's tax provision as a result of NYCOR's
losses offsetting Fedders' income, calculated at Feddes' marginal effective
tax rate of 38%, which amounted to $931,000 for the fiscal year ended August
31, 1995 and $3,866,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 1996.

(g)  The increase in Preferred Stock dividends related to the issuance of
Fedders Convertible Preferred Stock with an annual dividend rate of 6.1%
issued in connection with the Merger.

2.  Pro forma adjustments giving effect to the Merger in the unaudited pro
forma condensed balance sheet reflect the following:

(a)  The issuance of approximately 7,643,000 shares of Fedders Convertible
Preferred Stock, with a value of $6.25 per share, for all the outstanding
Common, Class A and Class B shares of NYCOR.
 
(b)  Purchase accounting adjustments associated with the Merger, including
adjustments of inventory and fixed assets to fair value, accrual of various
severance and other costs related to the Merger and the net increase of
NYCOR's goodwill.



(c)  The net reduction of NYCOR's deferred tax asset valuation allowance by
$3,000,000 resulting from certain net operating loss carryforwards and
reversing temporary differences of NYCOR becoming available to the Company in
future years, and their utilization being more likely than not. 

(d)  The elimination of the intercompany receivable and payable resulting
from compressor sales by NYCOR to Fedders.

(e)  The elimination of the NYCOR net assets acquired.


3.  Pro Forma Earnings per share

Pro forma earnings per share for the year ended August 31, 1995 and the nine
months ended May 31, 1996 have been computed by dividing pro forma income
attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares
of Common, Class A and Class B and other common stock equivalents (excluding
the Fedders Convertible Preferred Stock which is not a common stock
equivalent) outstanding during the period which amounted to 41,001,000 and
41,281,000, respectively.  Fully diluted pro forma earnings per share has
been computed by dividing consolidated net income, before Preferred Stock
dividends, by the weighted average number of common stock equivalents
outstanding during the period assuming the conversion of Convertible
Preferred Stock occurred at the beginning of the periods presented.
