                                     PART I

         O'Sullivan Industries Holdings, Inc. (the "Company" or the
"registrant") hereby amends its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended March 31, 1999 by deleting the portion of Item 2 of Part I of the report
appearing under the heading "YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE" and replacing such portion
with the following:

         YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

                  Almost all companies must address whether their computer
         systems and applications will recognize and process dates after
         December 31, 1999. In prior years, many computer programs were written
         using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. These
         programs were written without considering the impact of the upcoming
         change of the century and may experience problems handling dates beyond
         the year 1999. This could cause computer applications to fail,
         manufacturing operations to be disrupted, a temporary inability to
         process transactions and create other erroneous results unless
         corrective measures are taken.

                  O'Sullivan has established and developed a multi-step Year
         2000 readiness plan for its internal systems including computer
         hardware (mainframe and personal computers), computer software,
         application programs, manufacturing equipment and office equipment
         (phone and fax systems). The plan includes development of corporate
         awareness, assessment of internal systems, assessment of customer and
         vendor readiness, project planning, project implementation (including
         remediation, upgrading and replacement), validation testing and
         contingency planning. The readiness plan is reviewed approximately
         every two to three weeks to determine progress and completion of
         various milestones.

                  In fiscal 1998, O'Sullivan completed the final rollout of an
         enterprise software package to support its expanded sales and multiple
         plant, multiple warehouse locations and replace an older non-compliant
         year 2000 system. The vendor of the software package states that the
         software is Year 2000 compliant except for minor issues for which
         remedial programming has been provided. We are testing and implementing
         the remedial programming. We are continuing our testing efforts to
         verify the vendor's statement of compliance and expect to complete this
         testing on or about October 31, 1999. O'Sullivan is utilizing internal
         resources to complete testing of the systems.

                  We have implemented electronic communications capabilities to
         ensure that order, shipping and invoicing data for dates after December
         31, 1999 can be processed. This testing and verification is complete.
         We have successfully tested Year 2000 data with the National Retail
         Federation and have received its Year 2000 compliance certification. We
         are also processing Year 2000 compliant order, shipping and invoicing
         data with certain of our EDI customers. We will continue to test and
         implement Year 2000 compliant electronic communications with other
         customers as they update their systems to Year 2000 capabilities.

                  O'Sullivan has completed its review of remaining critical
         business systems in our computerized machinery and equipment for Year
         2000 compliance issues. We have completed the review of over 1,898
         pieces of equipment and have installed modifications in the few pieces
         of equipment requiring a year 2000 update.

                  In addition, O'Sullivan's ability to produce its products
         is dependent upon timely receipt of raw materials. Accordingly, we
         have requested our suppliers to provide information regarding their
         efforts to address Year 2000 compliance issues. Every major supplier
         responded that it has evaluated and addressed its Year 2000
         compliance issues or is in the process of doing so. If a major
         supplier does not resolve its Year 2000 compliance issues and is
         unable to provide us with timely deliveries of quality materials
         after December 31, 1999, we expect to locate and use alternative
         suppliers, although it is possible that we may be unable to do so,
         or may be able to do so only at increased cost. For example, if it
         is apparent that certain material vendors or transportation

                                       2

         companies may not achieve Year 2000 compliance, we intend to
         increase our raw material inventory for strategic materials
         necessary to continue production of product for our customers.

                  Based upon current information, O'Sullivan estimates that
         aggregate amounts expended to resolve Year 2000 issues should not
         exceed $500,000. These costs are made up of approximately $225,000
         for modification of information systems software, which represents
         approximately 5% of the total information services budget for fiscal
         1999, and approximately $275,000 represents costs of upgrading
         electronics for manufacturing and communication equipment.
         O'Sullivan expects to fund these expenditures through available cash
         from operations or the use of the bank revolver. All of these
         amounts will be deducted from income at the time the liability is
         incurred. As of June 30, 1999, O'Sullivan had spent approximately
         $93,000 in connection with its Year 2000 compliance plan.

                  O'Sullivan has developed the basics of a contingency plan
         to address situations that may result if O'Sullivan or its vendors
         or customers are unable to achieve Year 2000 readiness of critical
         operations. We are vulnerable to external forces that might
         generally affect industry and commerce, such as utility or
         transportation company Year 2000 compliance failures and related
         service interruptions. This is most likely the worst case scenario
         for O'Sullivan involving Year 2000 compliance issues. For example,
         if the electrical grid failed for any of our manufacturing
         facilities, we would not be able to manufacture product for our
         customers. If natural gas for winter heating failed or was severely
         restricted, we would not be able to heat our buildings for our
         employees and could affect the functioning of certain laminating
         equipment. Anticipating the possibility of such failure or
         restriction, we plan to increase our finished goods inventory for
         our customers. If some automated processes fail in spite of our
         remediation efforts, we will resort to manual processes using
         regular and, if necessary, temporary staffing in order to perform
         the additional workload resulting from Year 2000-related
         malfunctions.

                  The costs of the project and the dates on which O'Sullivan
         believes it will complete the Year 2000 modifications are based on
         management's best estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous
         assumptions of future events, including the continued availability
         of certain resources. However, these expectations are subject to
         uncertainties. If we do not identify and fix all Year 2000 problems
         in critical operations, our results of operation and financial
         condition could be materially impacted. There can be no assurance
         that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could
         differ materially from those anticipated.
