5. CAPITAL STOCK:

Fuqua's stock option plans.  Also, during the first three months of 1996, Fuqua
acquired 43,827 shares of common stock for its treasury at a total cost of
$827,000.

   During the first three months of 1995, there were no options exercised and
Fuqua did not purchase any shares for its treasury.

                              --------------------

   The unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim
periods.  It is suggested that these unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto included in Fuqua's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

   Acquisitions:  In November 1995, Fuqua acquired 100% of the common stock of
Basic American Medical Products, Inc. ("Basic").  Basic, through its
divisions, Simmons Healthcare, Omni Manufacturing and SSC Medical, is a
manufacturer and distributor of medical equipment and furnishings for the
acute, long-term and home health care markets.  Basic's results of operations,
which represent Fuqua's Medical Products Operations, have been included in the
consolidated results of Fuqua for the three months ended March 31, 1996.

   On April 3, 1996, Fuqua, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Lumex Medical
Products, Inc. (formerly MUL Acquisition Corp. I) and MUL Acquisition Corp. II,
consummated the acquisition of the medical products operations of Lumex, Inc.
(the "Lumex Division") for approximately $40.7 million.  The Lumex Division,
whose 1995 net sales were $63 million, develops and markets a wide range of
health care products including specialty seating, bathroom safety, mobility
products, health care beds and therapeutic support systems.  The Lumex Division
is headquartered in Bay Shore, Long Island, New York and markets the majority
of its products to the home health care market and the remainder to
institutional markets, including acute care and extended care facilities and
dialysis clinics.  The results of operations of the Lumex Division will be
included in Fuqua's consolidated results beginning in the second quarter of
1996.  Management believes that Basic and the Lumex Division will provide a
base for Fuqua's further expansion in the medical products markets.

   In April 1996, Fuqua's Leather Operations, through a joint venture, acquired
an interest in a tannery in the People's Republic of China.  As a result, the
Leather Operations will produce leather in China and will market the products
throughout China and Southeast Asia.  Management expects that the investment
will provide an additional channel of distribution for certain grades of the
Leather Operations' production.

   Medical Products Operations:  Net sales in the first quarter of 1996 were
$7,630,000 which produced an operating profit of $714,000.  This resulted in a
profit margin of 9.4%.

   Inventories at March 31, 1996 were $5,038,000 as compared to $5,267,000 at
December 31, 1995 and accounts receivable at March 31, 1996 were $5,030,000 as
compared to $5,740,000 at December 31, 1995.

   Capital expenditures for the Medical Products Operations were $116,000 in
the first quarter of 1996 and are expected to be approximately $600,000 for the
entire year of 1996.  Depreciation and amortization expense for the first
quarter of 1996 was $134,000.

   Leather Operations:  Net sales of the Leather Operations decreased
$1,180,000 or 4.9% in the first quarter of 1996 versus the comparable period of
1995, principally as a result of decreased volume of leather shipped to
producers of shoes who were adversely affected by weak retail demand.  Sales to
foreign customers represented 25.0% of net sales in the first quarter of 1996
as compared to 30.1% of net sales in the first quarter of 1995.

   The profit margin increased to 10.6% of sales in the first quarter of 1996
from 4.5% in the comparable period of 1995, primarily due to lower hide costs
in 1996.

   Selling and administrative expenses decreased $315,000 or 15.4% in  the
first quarter of 1996 compared to the first quarter of 1995, representing 7.6%
of net sales as compared to 8.5% a year ago.  The decrease of selling and
administrative expenses in the first quarter of 1996 was due to reduced selling
expenses associated with lower levels of foreign sales.

   Accounts receivable were higher, $17,111,000 at March 31, 1996,  as compared
to $13,043,000 at December 31, 1995, due principally to seasonal factors.
During the first quarter of 1996, inventories increased .5%, from $16,428,000
at December 31, 1995 to $16,517,000 at March 31, 1996.

   Capital expenditures for the Leather Operations were $470,000 in the first
quarter of 1996, and are expected to be approximately $1,500,000 for the entire
year of 1996.  Depreciation expense for the Leather Operations in the first
quarter of 1996 was $424,000 as compared to $350,000 in the comparable period
of 1995.

   Corporate Office Operations:  Investment income in the first quarter of 1996
was $670,000 as compared to $199,000 in the comparable period of 1995.  The
increase in investment income in 1996 reflects the return on the proceeds from
the sale of American Southern.

   Interest expense in the first quarter of 1996 was $333,000 as compared to
$220,000 in the comparable period of 1995 reflecting higher interest costs and
fees associated with a larger amount of outstanding debt.

   General and Administrative expenses for corporate office activities were
$852,000 in the first quarter of 1996 as compared to $556,000 in the comparable
period of 1995.  The increase resulted mainly from higher costs and expenses
associated with 1996 corporate development activities.

   Discontinued Operations:  During December 1995, Fuqua sold its insurance
subsidiary, American Southern Insurance Company ("American Southern") for
$34,000,000 to Atlantic American Corporation, an Atlanta, Georgia based
publicly-held insurance company.  The proceeds from the sale included cash of
$22,648,000 and a note receivable from the purchaser of $11,352,000.  The note
bears interest at prime, half of which is payable quarterly and half of which
is payable, together with principal, in October 1996.  The term and amount of
the note receivable is the same as the note payable which arose in connection
with Fuqua's acquisition of American Southern in 1991.  Management expects that
the note payable will be repaid from the proceeds of the note receivable or, to
the extent necessary, repaid with a drawing under a Letter of Credit Agreement
which will then be replaced with borrowings under Fuqua's Revolving Credit
Facility.  The note payable and related acquisition agreements provide for
indemnification and certain offset rights which, to the extent claims remain
outstanding in October 1996, could result in a delay of payment of the full
amount of the notes payable.  The note receivable from Atlantic American has
similar offset and indemnification rights.  Management does not believe that
the indemnification rights under the note receivables or note payable will have
a naterial adverse affect on Fuqua's liquidity or results of operations.  
Management does not believe that the indemnification rights under the note 
receivables or note payable agreement will have a material adverse affect on
Fuqua's liquidity or results of operations.  The sale transaction resulted in
the 1995 earnings of American Southern being reclassified as discontinued
operations.

   In January 1996, Fuqua made the decision to discontinue the operations of
Kroy Tanning Company, Incorporated, ("Kroy"), which historically had been
unprofitable.  Accordingly, Kroy has been treated as a discontinued operation





                                       7
<PAGE>   10

in the 1995 and 1996 results of operations.  In connection with Fuqua's
decision to discontinue the operations of Kroy, $4,800,000, before the benefit
of income taxes, was accrued at December 31, 1995 to write down assets to their
net realizable values and to pay for obligations, including environmental clean
up costs, in connection with the wind down of operations and the closing of
Kroy's facility in East Wilton, Maine.

   Recent Pronouncements:  In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" ("SFAS 121"), which
requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in
operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash
flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets'
carrying amount.  SFAS 121 also addresses the accounting for long-lived assets
that are expected to be disposed.  Fuqua adopted SFAS 121 in the first quarter
of 1996 and its adoption did not have a material impact.

LIQUIDITY:

   Fuqua, as a result of its sale of American Southern and having entered into
the $60,000,000 Revolving Credit Facility, had at March 31, 1996 $38,439,000 in
cash and investments and $41,500,000 in borrowing capacity under the Revolving
Credit Facility.  Subsequent to March 31, 1996, Fuqua used approximately
$8,000,000 of its cash and $33,000,000 of its borrowing capacity to acquire the
Lumex Division.  Subsequent to the acquisition of the Lumex Division, Fuqua had
$38,500,000 in cash, investments and borrowing capacity and Management believes
that it has adequate resources and additional borrowing capacity to meet its
obligations when due and to pursue an active plan of expansion through
acquisitions.
