Note G.   Debt

          Short-Term Debt
          
          Melnor Inc., a subsidiary of the Corporation, had short-term debt
          at December 31, 1994 consisting of a revolving credit facility
          ("revolving loan") with a financial institution in an aggregate
          amount not to exceed $15,000,000 that would have expired March 3,
          1996, and would have been automatically renewed for one year periods
          thereafter, unless terminated by either party.  Termination
          occurs (180) days after notification.  The loan was
          collateralized by substantially all assets of Melnor Inc. and the
          maximum principal amount outstanding at any one time was based on
          a formula using the carrying values of eligible accounts
          receivable and inventory.  Interest was payable monthly at a
          fluctuating rate equal to prime plus 1.25%, but at no time would
          the rate be less than 6%.  The rate at December 31, 1994 was
          9.75%.  The loan agreement also provided for certain financial
          covenants, all of which were waived by the lender.  In December,
          1994, the loan was paid off and the lender was given notice that
          Melnor Inc. intended to terminate the loan.

ITEM 2.                 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                     FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations (Second Quarter, 1995 versus Second Quarter, 1994)

Consolidated Operating Results

O'Sullivan Corporation consolidated net sales from continuing operations
for the second quarter of 1995 were $57.1 million compared to $57.0 million
for the second quarter of 1994.  Consolidated net income from continuing
operations was $4.0 million for the second quarter of 1995 and $3.8 million
for the second quarter of 1994, an increase of 3.6%.

Plastics Products Segment Operating Results

Net sales for the Plastics Products segment were $44.0 million for the
second quarter of 1995 and $40.1 million for the second quarter of 1994.
The 1995 sales represent an increase of $3.9 million (9.7%).  Approximately
two-thirds of the sales increase was from non-automotive products.  Of the
total sales increase, approximately 65% is the result of unit volume
increases.  The remaining increase is the result of price increases
implemented during the past twelve months.    Competitive pressures in the
markets in which this segment operates continue to preclude virtually any
unit price increases except as pass-throughs of raw material price
increases.

The gross margin for this segment showed a slight improvement over the
second quarter of 1994 (21.0% versus 20.0%).  The improvement was primarily
a result of lower labor and variable manufacturing costs as a percent of
sales.

Selling expenses for the second quarter of 1995 were $1.3 million,
representing 3.0% of net sales.  Selling expenses for the second quarter of
1994 were $1.5 million, representing 3.8% of net sales for the segment.
The reduction in selling expenses both in amount and as a percentage of net
sales is primarily a result of consolidations within the selling area which
reduced compensation and commission costs and a reduction in transportation
costs allocated to this area.

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 1995 were
$1.3 million as compared to $1.2 million for the second quarter of 1994.
As a percent of net sales these expenses were 3.0% for 1995 and 3.0% for
1994.

Other income of this segment showed an increase over the second quarter of
1994 of $45 thousand.  Interest income increased by approximately $203
thousand due to the investment of funds received from the sale of the
Gulfstream Division.  This increase was offset by reduced revenues from
other miscellaneous income categories.

Consumer Products Segment Operating Results

Net sales were $13.0 million for the Consumer Products segment for the
second quarter of 1995.  Net sales for the second quarter of 1994 were
$16.9 million. The net sales for 1995 represents a decrease of $3.9 million
(22.8%).  Unfavorable weather conditions caused sales to fall considerably
below budgeted levels for the period.


This segment suffered a marked decline in its gross margin for the second
quarter of 1995 (15.6%) as compared to the second quarter of 1994 (20.4%).
The decline was due to increased rework costs of purchased components,
increases in raw material prices, excess freight costs to insure timely
delivery of products from off-shore sources and higher than anticipated
import duties.

Selling expenses for this segment of $1.5 million represented 11.7% of net
sales for the second quarter of 1995 as compared to $1.8 million
representing 10.7% of net sales for the second quarter of 1994.  The
reduction in expense was primarily related to lower sales commissions and
advertising costs.

General and administrative expenses for the segment for the second quarter
of 1995 were $502 thousand compared to $521 for the second quarter of 1994.

During the second quarter of 1995 the segment recorded an expense of $419
thousand in connection with the relocation of US operations.

Interest expense associated with this segment was $42 thousand for the
second quarter of 1995 and $292 thousand for the second quarter of 1994.
The reduction in expense can be attributed to the utilization of funds
received from the sale of the Corporation's Gulfstream Division to pay back
funds borrowed under several credit arrangements available to this segment.



Income Taxes

Income tax expense for continuing operations was $2.5 million for the
second quarter of 1995 and $2.4 million for the second quarter of 1994.
The increase in income tax expense is related to higher taxable income
levels for the period. The effective tax rate for both years was basically
the same. (38.4% for 1995 and 38.8% for 1994).


























Results of Operations (Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 versus
                         Six Months Ended June 30, 1994)

Consolidated Operating Results

O'Sullivan Corporation consolidated net sales from continuing operations
for the six months  ended June 30, 1995 were $112.1 million compared to
$104.4 million for the first six months of 1994, an increase of 7.4%.
Consolidated net income from continuing operations was $8.0 million for the
first six months of 1995 and $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30,
1994, an increase of 7.2%.

Plastics Products Segment Operating Results

Net sales for the Plastics Products segment were $85.7 million for the
first six months of 1995 and $74.9 million for the first six months of
1994.  The 1995 sales represent an increase of $10.8 million (14.4%).
Approximately 60% of the sales increase was from non-automotive products.
Of the total sales increase, approximately 45% is the result of unit volume
increases.  The remaining increase is the result of price increases
implemented during the past twelve months.    As described in the second
quarter analysis, competitive pressures in the markets in which this
segment operates continue to preclude virtually any unit price increases
except as pass-throughs of raw material price increases.

The gross margin for this segment showed a slight improvement over the
first six months of 1994 (20.8% versus 19.8%) due to lower labor and
variable manufacturing costs as a percent of sales.

Selling expenses for this period  of 1995 were $2.6 million, representing
3.1% of net sales.  Selling expenses for the first six months of 1994 were
$2.9 million, representing 3.8% of net sales for the segment.  The
reduction in selling expenses both in amount and as a percentage of net
sales is primarily a result of consolidations within the selling area which
reduced compensation and commission costs and a reduction in transportation
costs allocated to this area.

General and administrative expenses for the first six months of 1995 were
$3.0 million as compared to $2.6 million for the first six months of 1994.
As a percent of net sales these expenses were 3.5% for 1995 and 3.4% for
1994.  In conjunction with the disposal of the Corporation's Gulfstream
Division in December of 1994, management has identified several areas of
general and administrative expenses which it believes will be reduced,
particularly as a percent of net sales, during this year.

Other income of this segment showed an increase over the first six months
of 1994 of $119 thousand.  Interest income increased by approximately $460
thousand due to the investment of funds received from the sale of the
Gulfstream Division.  This increase was offset by income reductions in
other miscellaneous income categories.

Consumer Products Segment Operating Results

Net sales were $26.5 million for the Consumer Products segment for the six
months ended June 30, 1995.  Net sales for the first six months of 1994
were $29.6 million. The net sales for 1995 represents a decrease of $3.1
million (10.5%).  Unfavorable weather conditions in the second quarter and
production delays by suppliers during the first quarter of 1995 served to
reduce sales substantially below expected levels for the first six months
of 1995.

Gross profits margins for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 were
substantially the same.

Selling expenses for this segment of $3.1 million represented 11.7% of net
sales for the first six months of 1995 as compared to $3.4 million
representing 11.4% of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1994.
Lower selling commissions due to reduced sales levels and lower advertising
outlays were the major reasons for lowered selling costs compared to 1994.

General and administrative expenses for the segment for the six months
ended June 30  were $1.1 million for both 1995 and 1994.

The segment recorded an expense of $707 thousand during the six months
ended June 30, 1995 in connection with the relocation of US operations.
The segment expects to incur a total cost of approximately $850 thousand in
connection with the relocation.

Interest expense associated with this segment was $78 thousand for the
first six months of 1995 and $487 thousand for the six months ended June
30, 1994.  The reduction in expense can be attributed to the utilization of
funds received from the sale of the Corporation's Gulfstream Division to
pay back funds borrowed under several credit arrangements available to this
segment.



Income Taxes

Income tax expense for continuing operations was $5.3 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 and $4.3 million for the first six months of
1994.  The increase in income tax expense is related to higher taxable
income levels for the period. The effective tax rate for both years was
basically the same. (39.6% for 1995 and 39.3% for 1994).




Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash flows for the six months  ended June 30, 1995 resulted in a net
decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $1.1 million.  The primary reason
for the decrease are increases in  inventories since December 31, 1994.
The Plastics Products segment has increased certain elements of its
inventories to enhance machine utilization and to meet requirements for the
launch of certain automotive-related programs.  The Consumer Products
segment has experienced increased inventory levels caused primarily by the
significant reductions in customer demand due to weather-related problems
through June 30, 1995.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $5.8 million for the first
six months of 1995.  For the first six months of 1994 net cash provided by
operating activities was $4.3 million.

Capital outlay was $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995.
Current capital expenditures are primarily to provide additional capacity
and modernize present equipment to produce products for which orders
currently exist.  Management estimates that total capital outlay for 1995
will be between $8 and $11 million.

Total corporate debt was $1.8 million at June 30, 1995 and $55.1 million at
June 30, 1994.  The reduction was accomplished through improved
profitability and the use of funds received from the sale of the
Corporation's Gulfstream Division.  The Corporation still has in place a
$35 million line of credit to provide capital to finance capital outlay
and/or acquisitions.

Management believes that net cash flow from operating activities, along
with available financing capabilities will be adequate to meet the
Corporation's funding requirements for 1995.
