                         ONEIDA LTD.
          NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        (In Thousands)

1.  The statements for the three months ended April 30, 1994
    and May 1, 1993 are unaudited; in the opinion of the
    Company such unaudited statements include all adjustments
    (which comprise only normal recurring accruals) necessary
    for a fair presentation of the results for such periods.
    The consolidated financial statements for the year ending
    January 28, 1995 are subject to adjustment at the end of
    the year when they will be audited by independent
    auditors. The results of operations for the three months
    ended April 30, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of
    the results of operations to be expected for the year
    ending January 28, 1995. The consolidated financial
    statements and notes thereto should be read in
    conjunction with the financial statements and notes for
    the years ended in January 1994 and 1993 included in the
    Company's January 29, 1994 Annual Report to the
    Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K.

2.  The provision for income taxes is based on pre-tax income
    for financial statement purposes with an appropriate
    deferred tax provision to give effect to changes in
    temporary differences between the financial statements
    and tax basis of assets and liabilities. The temporary
    differences arise principally from employee and retiree
    benefits and depreciation.

3.  Earnings per share are based on the weighted average
    number of shares of common stock outstanding. The
    weighted average number of shares for earnings per share
    includes the potentially dilutive effect of shares
    issuable under the employee stock purchase, stock option
    and dividend reinvestment plans. The shares owned by the
    Company's employee stock ownership plan are treated as
    outstanding for purposes of the earnings per share
    calculation only to the extent they have been allocated.

4.  Included in the long-term debt caption on the balance
    sheet are various senior notes. The note agreements
    relating thereto contain provisions which restrict
    borrowings, certain business investments, acquisition of
    the Company's stock and payment of cash dividends. At
    April 30, 1994 the maximum amount available for payment

  Tableware Division:
    Consumer Products........ $ 42,471   $ 46,801      (9.3%)
    Foodservice..............   31,816     30,956       2.8%
      Total Tableware........   74,287     77,757      (4.5%)
  Industrial Wire Division...   36,735     36,076       1.8%
      Total.................. $111,022   $113,833      (2.5%)
</TABLE>

The tableware division experienced a $3,470 decrease in sales
in the first quarter of 1994 as compared to the same quarter
in 1993. Consumer product sales were depressed by a three
week nationwide trucking strike in April of 1994. This strike
resulted in a loss of shipments to many of the company's most
profitable customers. The industrial wire division sales
increased by $659 when compared to first quarter 1993 sales.
Camden Wire maintains a fleet of trucks and did not
experience business interruptions from the above mentioned
strike. Incoming orders for both divisions were strong in
April of this year.

Gross margin, as a percent of net sales, was 26.3% for the
first quarter of 1994, which is consistent with the same
period last year.

Operating expenses              1994      1993     % Change
<S>                           <C>       <C>          <C>
  Tableware Division......... $21,128   $21,123        -
  Industrial Wire Division...   3,318     3,038       9.2%
      Total.................. $24,446   $24,161       1.2%
</TABLE>

Operating expenses as a percent of sales increased to 22.0%
from 21.2% for the same quarter last year. Selling and
distribution costs increased by $801, while administrative
costs decreased by $516. The industrial wire division's
operating expenses were up primarily due to higher selling
and distribution costs.

Interest expense, prior to capitalized interest, was $1,659
for the quarter, a decrease from $2,192 for the same period a
year ago.  The decrease is attributable to the lower average
debt level in the first quarter of 1994 as compared to the
first quarter of 1993.

Liquidity & Financial Resources

In the first quarter of the current fiscal year, the company
expended approximately $3,200 in conjunction with its long-
term capital expansion and modernization program. The company
expects to invest another $10,000 during the remainder of the
current fiscal year.

The total debt outstanding increased $9,716 or 9.3% during
the first quarter. This increase is typical for the first few
months of the year. Compared to the quarter ended May 1,
1993, total debt has decreased by $12,164 or 9.6%.

Management believes that sufficient liquidity to support the
company's future funding requirements will be provided by
cash from future operations as well as the availability of
bank lines of credit. At April 30, 1994, the Company had
unused credit lines equal to $63,000 and working capital of
$112,951.
