        Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


1.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
    statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring
    adjustments, and present fairly the results of operations for the three
    months ended April 2, 1994 and April 3, 1993, the financial position at
    April 2, 1994 and December 31, 1993 and the cash flows for the three
    months ended April 2, 1994 and April 3, 1993.

2.  The results of operations for the three month period ended April 2, 1994
    are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
    year.

3.  All inventories (materials, labor and overhead) are valued at the lower of
    cost or market using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.  The components
    of inventory, in thousands, are as follows:

4.  The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting for
    Income Taxes", effective January 1, 1993.  The cumulative effect of the
    change in accounting principle resulted in a $2.1 million reduction of the
    first quarter loss.

    No provision for income taxes has been provided during the quarter ended
    April 2, 1994 and April 3, 1993 as the Company is in a net operating loss
    carryforward position.

5.  The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has examined the Company's Federal
    income tax returns for the years 1988 through 1991 and is challenging
    certain deductions, of which the most significant involves an effort to
    recharacterize interest deductions as dividend distributions.  The IRS
    has delivered proposed adjustments that approximate a net tax cost of $92
    million, including interest through April 2, 1994.  The Company believes
    the IRS's position with respect to these issues is incorrect and plans to
    contest vigorously the proposed adjustments.  The Company cannot predict
    the ultimate outcome nor the impact on its financial statements, if any.

ITEM 2.

                     FAIRWOOD CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations

THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 2, 1994 VERSUS THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 3, 1993

The following discussion presents the material changes in results of operations
which have occurred in the first quarter of 1994 in comparison to the same
period in 1993.

Net sales were approximately $68.2 million in the first quarter of 1994, an
increase from last year's first quarter sales of approximately $65.2 million,
due primarily to increased sales of upholstered furniture.

Cost of sales were approximately $58.5 million and $54.8 million for the first
quarters of 1994 and 1993, respectively, or 85.7% and 84.0% of sales for the
first quarters of 1994 and 1993, respectively.  Cost of sales as a percentage
of sales increased 1.7% from the first quarter of 1993 to the first quarter of
1994 due primarily to unfavorable manufacturing variances during the first
quarter of 1994 caused primarily by lower production as a result of severe
winter weather in those southern states where subsidiary company operating
plants are located.

Selling, administrative and general expenses for the first quarters of 1994 and
1993 were approximately $9.8 million and $11.2 million, respectively, the
decrease due primarily to more effective utilization of resources and reduction
of personnel due to the consolidation of administrative functions.

Other expense, net, was approximately $.5 million and $1.0 million for the
first quarters of 1994 and 1993, respectively.  The first quarter of 1993
included losses on the sales of property of approximately $.5 million.

Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standard
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which resulted in a $2.1 million
cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, which reduced the first
quarter 1993 loss.  Refer to note 5 in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements.

No income taxes have been provided in the first quarters of 1994 and 1993,
respectively, as the Company is in a net operating loss carryforward position.



Liquidity and Capital Resources

At April 2, 1994, the Company had short and long-term debt of approximately
$408.8 million of which approximately $.2 million was current.  Short and
long-term debt was approximately $386.0 million at December 31, 1993.  The
Company has the option until April 1, 1995 to pay interest on its senior
subordinated pay-in-kind debentures and merger debentures either by cash or by
the distribution of additional securities.  Additional securities were issued
in lieu of the cash payment of interest due April 1, 1994 on both the senior
subordinated pay-in-kind debentures and merger debentures, amounting to
approximately $7.1 million and approximately $4.5 million, respectively.

Mohasco, the Company's principal operating subsidiary, is expected to service
debt from its cash flow from operations and available credit facilities.
Throughout 1993 and the first quarter of 1994, Mohasco funded interest
obligations related to long-term indebtedness through increased borrowings from
Court Square Capital Limited ("CSCL"), an affiliate, under Mohasco's Credit
Agreement with CSCL (the "Credit Agreement"), relating to the revolving credit
facility.  The Company is dependent upon CSCL for funding of its debt service
costs.  CSCL has in the past increased its revolving credit line to Mohasco in
order for Mohasco to meet its debt service obligations.  Under the Credit
Agreement, Mohasco and its subsidiaries are generally restricted from
transferring monies to the Company with the exception of amounts for (a)
specified administra- tive expenses of the Company not exceeding $275,000 per
year and (b) payment of income taxes.  The senior subordinated debentures,
senior subordinated pay-in-kind debentures and merger debentures also have
certain restrictions as to the payment and transfer of monies.  Management
believes that cash flow from operations and funding from CSCL will be adequate
to meet the Company's obligations through December 31, 1994.
