                  O'SULLIVAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note A.   Basis of Financial Statement Preparation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include 
the accounts of O'Sullivan Corporation and its wholly-owned 
subsidiaries.  All material intercompany accounts and transactions 
have been eliminated in consolidation.

Investments in affiliates in which the Corporation has a 20% to 50% 
interest are carried at cost adjusted for the Corporation's 
proportionate share of the affiliate's undistributed earnings or loss.

In the opinion of management of the Corporation, the unaudited 
consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments 
necessary to fairly present the Corporation's financial position as of 
March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 and the results of its operations 
and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.  
Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring items.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in 
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles have not been included in these statements.  
These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial 
statements, notes and other disclosures thereto included in the 
Corporation's 1995 Annual Report to Stockholders and Form 10-K.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 
are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full 
year.

Note B.   Receivables

Receivables are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of 
$1,279,131 at March 31, 1996 and $898,648 at December 31, 1995.  
Receivable balances for automotive related business were $12,356,596 
at March 31, 1996 and $13,825,514 at December 31, 1995.

Note C.   Inventories

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


Results of Operations (First Quarter, 1996 versus First Quarter, 1995)

Consolidated Operating Results

O'Sullivan Corporation consolidated net sales for the first quarter of 
1996 were $56.2 million which represents an increase of $1.1 million 
(2.0%) over sales of $55.1 million for the first quarter of 1995.  
Consolidated net income was $4.2 million for the first quarter of 1996 
and $4.1 million for the first quarter of 1995, an increase of $150 
thousand (3.7%).

Income tax expense was $2.8 million for the first quarter of both 1996 
and 1995.  Income before income taxes was marginally higher for the 
first quarter of 1996. However, the Corporation's effective tax rate 
for the quarter was lower than the first quarter of 1995 ( 40.2% 
versus 40.7%) and effectively negated most of the increased income tax 
from the higher income before income taxes.

Net other income decreased by approximately $125 thousand compared to 
the first quarter of 1995.  The primary cause for the reduction was 
the decline in interest income.  This decline resulted from reductions 
in discretionary cash funds available for short-term investment.


Plastics Products Segment Operating Results

Net sales for the Plastics Products segment were $42.8 million for the 
first quarter of 1996 and $41.6 million for the first quarter of 1995.  
The 1996 sales represent an increase of $1.2 million (2.9%).  The 
sales increase recorded during the first quarter was a result of increased
sales of automotive related products.  Sales of industrial products 
declined during the quarter primarily due to economic weakness in the
markets serviced by this business segment.

The gross margin for this segment showed an improvement over the first 
quarter of 1995 (21.9% versus 20.6%).  The improvement was primarily a 
result of volume sales increases for automotive related products.

Selling expenses for the first quarter of 1996 were $1.3 million, 
representing 3.1% of net sales.  Selling expenses for the first 
quarter of 1995 were also $1.3 million, representing 3.2% of net sales 
for the segment.  General and administrative expenses for the first 
quarter of 1996 were $1.7 million as compared to $1.7 million for the 
first quarter of 1995.  As a percent of net sales for this segment,  
these expenses were 3.9% for 1996 and 4.0% for 1995.   











Consumer Products Segment Operating Results

Net sales were $13.3 million for the Consumer Products segment for the 
first quarter of 1996.  Net sales for the first quarter of 1995 were 
$13.4 million. The net sales for 1996 represents a decrease of .7%.  
Delays in the receipt of new materials and components from overseas 
suppliers prevented the timely introduction of new products and 
depressed sales of existing products due to difficulties in meeting 
time-sensitive product shipping schedules required by customers.  

This segment experienced a marked decline in its gross margin for the 
first quarter of 1996 (21.7%) as compared to the first quarter of 1995 
(27.4%).  The decline resulted from excessive product rework costs, 
raw material price increases, air freight costs for shipment of 
components from overseas suppliers and  product sales reductions 
resulting primarily from the lack of sufficient inventories to meet 
required shipping schedules.    

Selling expenses for this segment were $1.7 million for the first 
quarter of 1996 as compared to $1.6 million for the first quarter of 
1995.  General and administrative expenses for the segment were $519 
thousand and $572 thousand for the first quarter of 1996 and 1995, 
respectively.  



Liquidity and Capital Resources 

Cash flows for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 resulted in a net 
decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $5.7 million.  The primary 
reasons for the decrease for this period are increases in receivables 
and the repurchase of corporate stock.   Such a reduction is not 
unusual for the first quarter of each year due to seasonal account 
receivable and inventory requirements of the Consumer Products segment 
of the Corporation.  The reduction can be expected to reverse itself 
by the third quarter as accounts receivable are collected and 
inventory requirements are reduced.

Net cash used in operating activities was $323 thousand for the first 
quarter of 1996.  For the first quarter of 1995 net cash provided by 
operating activities was $768 thousand.

Capital outlay was $2.1 million for the first quarter of 1996.  
Current capital expenditures are primarily to provide additional 
capacity and modernize present equipment to produce products for which 
orders currently exist.  Total capital outlay for 1996 is expected to 
be between $8 and $10 million.

Total corporate debt was $1.7 million at both March 31, 1996 and  
1995.  Substantially all of the debt will be retired before the end of 
1996.  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 1996.
