                 O'SULLIVAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
              FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


    O'Sullivan Corporation currently operates in two principal business
segments.  The primary activity of the Company is the manufacture of
calendered and molded plastics products for the automotive and speciality
plastics manufacturing industries.  This activity includes designing,
engineering, compounding, laminating, printing, painting, and assembling a
variety of plastics products for sale to manufacturers and distributors.
On April 1, 1993, the Company aquired Capitol Plastics of Ohio, Inc.
Capitol Plastics is a custom injection molding manufacturing operation with
one plant located in Bowling Green, Ohio.  Capitol Plastics of Ohio, Inc.,
which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of O'Sullivan Corporation, is part of
the plastics products operations segment of the Company.  On November 24,
1992, O'Sullivan Corporation acquired substantially all of the assets of
Melnor Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary Melnor
Manufacturing LTD.  With this acquisition, O'Sullivan Corporation entered
the consumer products manufacturing, marketing and distribution business
which represents its second business operations segment.  The new Company,
which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of O'Sullivan Corporation, is now called
Melnor Inc. and has as its wholly-owned subsidiary, Melnor Canada LTD.  The
principal source of income for the Company is from sales of those products
produced by each business segment to manufacturers, distributors and retail
outlets.

    Consolidated sales revenue increased 21.1% to $85.8 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1994 compared to $70.8 million for the same period
last year.  Sales increases experienced during the first quarter of 1994
were the results of increased volume in the plastics products segment of
the Company's operations.  Capitol Plastics of Ohio, Inc. which is part of
the plastics products business segment accounted for 54.9% of the total
increase in sales volume as this business unit was acquired by the Company
on April 1, 1993.  In the consumer products segment of the Company sales
volume decreased 4.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 1994 compared to the
same period last year as the prolonged winter weather delayed customer
releases for lawn and garden watering products.  Core business sales,
discounting the effects of Melnor and Capitol Plastics, increased $7.3
million or 12.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 1994 compared to the same
period last year.  Sales of automotive products produced by the Company
accounted for the majority of core volume sales increases as domestic
automobile and truck sales were up due to increased consumer demand.

    Consolidated net income increased 14.0% to $2.6 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 1994, compared to $2.3 million for the same period last
year.  Although sales revenue increased 21.1%, net income did not increase
at the same rate, primarily due to an unfavorable increase in the Corporate
tax rate compared to the same period last year and increased cost of
products sold in the plastics products business segment.  Costs of products
sold represented 88.8% of each sales dollar in the plastics products
business segment for the quarter ended March 31, 1994, compared to 88.1%
for the same period last year.  During the first quarter of 1994, costs of
products sold increased due to unfavorable material and labor utilization
associated with products produced by the Huron, Ohio and Winchester,
Virginia injection molding facilities which experienced significantly
increased demand while simultaneously launching new manufacturing programs
for their automotive customers.


    Consolidated operating expenses increased 7.9% for  the quarter ended
March 31, 1994 to $6.2 million compared to $5.8 million for the same period
last year.  Capitol Plastics of Ohio, Inc. which was acquired April 1, 1993
accounted for 78.0% of the total increase.  Selling and warehousing
expenses increased 1.3% to $3.64 million compared to $3.60 million in 1993.
Capitol Plastics of Ohio, Inc. accounted for all of this increase as sales
expenses for previously owned business operations actually decreased 4.2%.
Selling and warehousing expenses represented 4.2% and 5.1% of each sales
dollar for the periods ended March 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
General and administrative expenses increased 19.4% to $2.5 million
compared to $2.1 million in 1993.  Capitol Plastics of Ohio, Inc. accounted
for 36.0% of the total increase.  General and administrative expenses
represented 2.9% and 3.0% of each sales dollar, respectively for the
quarters ended March 31, 1994 and 1993.

    Non-operating expenses increased $270 thousand during the quarter ended
March 31, 1994 compared to the same period last year primarily due to the
increased interest expense on the Company's short and long-term debt
obligations.

    Total consolidated debt increased $4.9 million during the quarter ended
March 31, 1994 compared to December 31, 1993.  As of March 31, 1994 the
consumer products segment, Melnor Inc. had short and long-term debt
obligations totaling $12.4 million representing 22.0% of the total debt of
the Company.  During the first quarter of 1994 the Company successfully
completed negotiations with a financial institution for the debt
restructuring of Melnor Inc.  The new debt structure consists of a
revolving credit facility substantially the same as before with standard
negative operating covenants.  This debt is secured by the assets of Melnor
Inc. and does not represent any liability to the parent company.
Currently, the Company is renegotiating its $25.0 million unsecured line of
credit with its principal bank, First Union National Bank of Virginia.  The
current line of credit has a maturity date of June 22, 1995.  The Company
expects to complete the negotiations for this line of credit before the end
of the second quarter of 1994.  With the current debt structure and lines
of credit that are available, the Company believes that working capital
requirements for the short and long-term are adequately provided for.

    The Company's financial position and liquidity continue to remain
strong at March 31, 1994 with shareholder's equity at 50.5% of total
assets.  Current assets compared to current liabilities were 2.0 to 1.0.
Total debt to equity of the Company was 51.4% and net worth was $110.0
million, up 5.0% from the same period last year.
