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


Results of Operations (Second Quarter, 1996 Versus Second Quarter, 1995)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consolidated Operating Results

O'Sullivan Corporation consolidated net sales for the second quarter 
of 1996 were $63.4 million which represents an increase of $6.3 
million (11.1%) over sales of $57.1 million for the second quarter of 
1995.  Consolidated net income was $4.2 million for the second quarter 
of 1996 and $4.0 million for the second quarter of 1995, an increase 
of $267 thousand (6.7%).

Income tax expense was $2.8 million for the second quarter of 1996 and 
$2.5 million for the second quarter of 1995.  The increase in income 
tax expense resulted from an increase in the Corporation's effective 
tax rate as compared to the second quarter of 1995 along with the 
increase in income before income taxes.

Net other income increased by approximately $150 thousand compared to 
the second quarter of 1995.  Pre-tax gains from the sale of assets 
were approximately $600 thousand for the quarter and offset the 
reduced amount of interest income earned.  The decline in interest 
income 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 $47.8 million for the 
second quarter of 1996 and $44.0 million for the second quarter of 
1995.  The 1996 sales represent an increase of $3.8 million (8.7%).  
The sales increase recorded during the second quarter was primarily 
due to increased sales of automotive related products.  Although sales 
of industrial products exceeded sales recorded during the first 
quarter of 1996, continued economic weakness in this market produced 
sales below that of the second quarter of 1995.

The gross margin for this segment showed a decline when compared to 
the second quarter of 1995 (17.5% versus 21.0%).  The decline was 
primarily the result of increased raw material costs and competitive 
pressures that prevented these costs from being passed on to both 
automotive and industrial customers.

Selling expenses for the second quarter of 1996 were $1.3 million, 
representing 2.7% of net sales.  Selling expenses for the second 
quarter of 1995 were also $1.3 million, representing 2.9% of net sales 
for the segment.  General and administrative expenses for the second 
quarter of 1996 were $1.4 million as compared to $1.3 million for the 
second quarter of 1995.  As a percent of net sales for this segment,  
these expenses were 2.9% for both 1996 and 1995.






Consumer Products Segment Operating Results

Net sales were $15.5 million for the Consumer Products segment for the 
second quarter of 1996.  Net sales for the second quarter of 1995 were 
$13.0 million. The net sales for 1996 represents an increase of $2.5 
million (19.4%).  Sales increased due to the recovery of sales lost in 
the first quarter due to better availability of product.  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 during the first quarter of 1996.

This segment experienced an improvement in its gross margin for the 
second quarter of 1996 (22.2%) as compared to the second quarter of 
1995 (15.6%).  The improvement resulted from the increased sales 
volume generated by the recovery of previously lost sales in the first 
quarter of 1996.  However, gross profits were not up to management's 
expectations due to higher than normal transportation costs.

Selling expenses for this segment were $2.0 million for the second 
quarter of 1996 as compared to $1.5 million for the second quarter of 
1995.  Selling expenses represented 12.7% and 11.7% of each sales 
dollar respectively for the quarters ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.  
The increase in selling expenses resulted from increased rebates and sales
allowances to recover those sales not shipped during the first quarter of 
1996.  General and administrative expenses for the segment were $532
thousand and $502 thousand for the second quarter of 1996 and 1995, 
respectively.


Results of Operations (Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 Versus Six 
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
                 Months Ended June 30, 1995)
                 ---------------------------

Consolidated Operating Results

O'Sullivan Corporation consolidated net sales for the six months ended 
June 30, 1996 were $119.6 million compared to $112.1 million for the 
six months of 1995, an increase of $7.5 million (6.6%).  Consolidated 
net income was $8.5 million for the first six months of 1996 and $8.1 
million for the first six months of 1995, an increase of 5.2%.

Income tax expense was $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 
1996 and $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  The 
increase in income tax expense primarily resulted from the increase in 
the Corporation's income before income taxes as the effective tax rate 
was substantially the same for both periods.

Net other income for the first six months of 1996 included 
approximately $600 thousand in pre-tax gains from the sale of assets.  
This income offset reductions in interest income when compared to 
the same period for 1995.


Plastics Products Segment Operating Results

Net sales for the Plastics Products segment were $90.7 million for the 
first six months of 1996 and $85.7 million for the first six months of 
1995.  The 1996 sales represent an increase of $5.0 million (5.9%).  

The sales increase recorded during the six months ended June 30, 1996 
can be attributed primarily to increases in sales of automotive-
related products.  The overall weakening in the market demand for 
industrial products resulted in sales through June 30, 1996 being 
marginally below sales for the first six months of 1995.

The gross margin for this segment showed a decline when compared to 
the first six months of 1995 (19.6% versus 20.8%).  As described in 
the analysis of operations for the second quarter, gross margins 
declined due to increased raw material costs which could not be passed 
through to customers because of competitive pressures.

Selling expenses year to date through June 30, 1996 were $2.6 million, 
representing 2.9% of net sales.  Selling expenses for the first six 
months of 1995 were also $2.6 million, representing 3.1% of net sales 
for the segment.  General and administrative expenses through June 30, 
1996 were $3.1 million as compared to $3.0 million through June 30, 
1995.  As a percent of net sales for this segment,  these expenses 
were 3.4% for 1996 and 3.5% for 1995.


Consumer Products Segment Operating Results

Net sales were $28.9 million for the Consumer Products segment for the 
first six months of 1996.  Net sales for the first six months of 1995 
were $26.5 million. The net sales for 1996 represents an increase of 
$2.4 million (9.2%).  Factors contributing to the sales increases were 
weather conditions more conducive to sales of the product lines, 
introduction of a new product line and product shipments during the 
second quarter of 1996 which recovered sales lost during the first 
quarter of 1996.

This segment experienced an improvement in its gross margin for the 
six months ended June 30, 1996 (22.0%) as compared to the six months 
ended June 30, 1995 (21.3%).  The improvement resulted primarily from 
the increase in sales volumes, particularly from the introduction of a 
new product line during the period.

Selling expenses for this segment were $3.6 million year to date 
through June 30, 1996 as compared to $3.1 million through June 30, 
1995.  The increased selling costs can be attributed to increased 
rebates and sales allowances granted to recover sales lost during the 
first quarter of 1996.  General and administrative expenses for the 
segment were $1.1 million for boh 1996 and 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

Cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1996 resulted in a net 
decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $4.4 million.  The primary 
reasons for the decrease for this period are increases in receivables 
and the repurchase of corporate stock.  The increase in receivables is 
substantially a result of the normal credit terms offered by the 
Consumer Products segment of the Corporation.  During the third 
quarter of the year the receivables of this segment can expect to be 
collected.





Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.9 million for the six 
months ended June 30, 1996.  For the six months ended June 30, 1995 
net cash provided by operating activities was $5.8 million.

Capital outlay was $3.5 million for the first six months 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 $7 and $9 million.

Total corporate debt was $1.8 million at June 30, 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.
