          accounts and in which Melnor Inc. and its subsidiary  will
          immediately deposit all cash payments made for inventory or other
          cash payments constituting proceeds of collateral.  For as long
          as no default or event of default exists, Melnor Inc.'s
          subsidiary, Melnor Canada Ltd. shall be permitted to receive all
          payments or other remittances of its accounts and other proceeds
          of its collateral deposited in the lock box account.  If a
          default or event of default exists, the lender may direct that
          all payments or other remittances deposited in the Melnor Canada
          Ltd. lock box be remitted to the lender.  All amounts held or

                  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 specialty
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 acquired 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 to $101.5 and $187.3 million
during the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1994 compared to
$80.2 and $151.1 million for the same periods last year, up 26.4% and 23.9%
respectively.  The consumer products segment of the business contributed
$16.9 and $29.6 million in sales revenues for the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 1994 compared to $13.3 and $26.9 million for the same
periods last year, up 27.1% and 9.8% respectively.  Consumer products sales
increases experienced during the second quarter were significantly
influenced by the slow sales of lawn and garden watering products in the
first quarter.  Customer orders that were previously placed on hold due to
the prolonged winter weather throughout the United States were released as
weather conditions improved.  Sales revenues for the primary plastics
products segment of the Company increased to $84.6 and $157.7 million for
the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1994 compared to $66.9 and $124.2
million for the same periods last year, up 26.2% and 27.0% respectively.
Core business sales, discounting the effects of the newly acquired
subsidiaries Melnor Inc. and Capitol Plastics of Ohio, Inc., increased
$15.7 and $23.4 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1994,
up 25.8% and 19.8% respectively, when compared to the same periods last
year.  Sales of automotive products produced by the Company accounted for
the majority of sales increases experienced during the quarter by the
plastics products segment of the business as domestic automobile and truck
sales were up due to increased consumer demand.

    Consolidated net income for the quarter and six months ended June 30,
1994 was $4.9 and $7.5 million compared to $4.3 and $6.6 million for the
same period last year, up 14.4% and 14.3% respectively.  As with the first
quarter of 1994, net income did not increase at the same rate as sales,
primarily due to an increase in the cost of products sold in the plastics
products business segment and an unfavorable increase in the corporate tax
rate compared to the same periods last year.  Costs of products sold



represented 86.0% and 87.2% of each sales dollar in the plastics products
business segment for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1994
compared to 84.0% and 85.9% respectively for the same periods last year.
During the first and second quarters 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
customer base.

    Consolidated operating expenses for the quarter and six months ended
June 30, 1994 were $6.4 and $12.7 million compared to $6.1 and $11.9
million for the same periods last year, up 5.1% and 6.0% respectively.
Selling and warehousing expenses were $4.1 and $7.8 million for the quarter
and six months ended June 30, 1994 compared to $3.8 and $7.5 million for
the same periods last year, up 8.0% and 4.7% respectively.  Selling and
warehousing expenses represented 4.1% and 4.2% of each sales dollar for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1994 compared to 4.8% and 4.9% for
the same periods last year for the combined consumer products and primary
plastics products business segments of the Company.  General and
administrative expenses for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1994
were $2.3 and $4.8 million compared to $2.3 and $4.5 million for the same
periods last year, up 0.4% and 8.3% respectively.  General and
administrative expenses represented 2.3% and 2.6% of each sales dollar
compared to 2.9% and 3.0% for the quarter and six months ended June 30,
1994 and 1993 respectively.

    Non-operating expenses increased $259 thousand and $579 thousand during
the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1994 compared to the same periods
last year due to increased interest expense on the Company's short and
long-term debt obligations.

    Total consolidated debt decreased and increased $(1.4) million and $3.5
million compared to March 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993 respectively.  As
of June 30, 1994 the consumer products segment, Melnor Inc., had short and
long-term debt obligations of $11.0 million, representing 20.0% 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.  During
the month of June 1994 the Company renegotiated its $25.0 million unsecured
line of credit with its principal bank, First Union National Bank of
Virginia.  The new unsecured line is now $35.0 million and has a maturity
date of June 30, 1997.  The purpose of increasing this line of credit was
to insure adequate capital for corporate liquidity, finance growth in
trading assets, and to finance capital expenditures and/or acquisitions.
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 June 30, 1994 with shareholder's equity at 52.8% of total assets.
Current assets compared to current liabilities were 2.4 to 1.0.  Total debt
to equity of the Company was 48.4% and net worth was $113.8 million, up
5.5% from the same period last year.
