FAIRWOOD CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting
of only normal recurring adjustments, to present fairly the results of
operations and cash flows for the three months ended April 1, 1995 and
April 2, 1994, and the financial position at April 1, 1995 and
December 31, 1994. The results of operations for the three-month
period ended April 1, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.
2. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial
statements included in the 1994 annual report on Form 10-K.
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:
April 1, 1995 December 31, 1994

(Unaudited) (Audited)
Raw materials $ 15,833 14,696

LIFO reserve 12,605 11,990
------ ------
Inventories at LIFO $ 21,559 18,813
====== ======
4. No provision for income taxes have been provided during the three
months ended April 1, 1995 and April 2, 1994 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 proposed adjustments to the Company that
approximate a net tax cost of $103 million, including interest through
April 1, 1995. The Company believes the IRS's position with respect
to these issues is incorrect and is vigorously contesting the proposed
adjustments. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome nor the
impact on its financial statements, if any.
6. On April 1, 1995, the Company failed to make the required interest
payments due on the senior subordinated pay-in-kind debentures and
merger debentures (collectively, the "Fairwood Debentures"). Counsel
for the Company has had preliminary discussions with counsel for a
group of Fairwood Debenture holders, who are in the process of
attempting to form an ad hoc committee to address the payment default
under the Fairwood Debentures.

FAIRWOOD CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
7. Consolidated Furniture's revolving line of credit and senior
subordinated debentures mature on January 2, 1996 and, accordingly,
have been classified as current liabilities in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of April 1, 1995.
Consolidated Furniture expects to negotiate an extension of these
maturity dates or refinance such indebtedness prior to January 2,
1996.
Based on the terms of the Fairwood Debentures, the failure to make the
April 1, 1995 interest payment (See note 6) constitutes an event of
default which permits the acceleration of the Fairwood Debentures by
the demand of the holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount
of the debentures, subject to a 180-day acceleration blockage
provision. Upon acceleration, the Fairwood Debentures would be
currently due and payable. Accordingly, the Fairwood Debentures have
been classified as current liabilities in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet as of April 1, 1995.

ITEM 2.
FAIRWOOD CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At April 1, 1995, the Company had short- and long-term debt of approximately
$412.5 million of which approximately $412.0 million was current. Short- and
long-term debt was approximately $415.4 million at December 31, 1994. The
Company's outstanding indebtedness includes its senior subordinated pay-in-kind
debentures and merger debentures (collectively, the "Fairwood Debentures").
The Company had the option during the first five years to pay interest on the
Fairwood Debentures either through cash payments or through the distribution of
additional securities.
The Company is a holding company with no operations. The Company has
effectively no cash flow from its subsidiaries because the cash produced by the
operations of the subsidiaries is not expected for the foreseeable future to be
sufficient to permit the subsidiaries to transfer funds to the Company
sufficient to make cash interest payments on the Fairwood Debentures. The
Company's sole asset is the stock of Consolidated Furniture Corporation
("Consolidated Furniture"), its wholly-owned subsidiary. Fairwood's
obligations under the Fairwood Debentures are secured by Fairwood's pledge of
its interest in Consolidated Furniture's stock. Court Square Capital Limited
("CSCL"), as holder of Fairwood's senior subordinated pay-in-kind debentures,
has a first priority security interest in all of the outstanding stock of
Consolidated Furniture, and the holders of the merger debentures have a second
priority security interest in such stock. The Fairwood Debentures are
obligations of the Company. Consolidated Furniture is not an obligor under the
Fairwood Debentures. However, Consolidated Furniture is an obligor under the
Credit Agreement with CSCL. The Credit Agreement does not permit Consolidated
Furniture to borrow funds to enable the Company to make cash interest payments
on the Fairwood Debentures. The borrowings under the Credit Agreement are
secured by substantially all of the assets of Consolidated Furniture.
Consolidated Furniture is also a holding company without operations. Its
primary asset is the outstanding stock of Furniture Comfort Corporation
("Furniture Comfort"), which has operations that it conducts through its two
divisions, Stratford and Barcalounger. Furniture Comfort is also a direct
obligor under the Credit Agreement.
On April 1, 1995, the Company failed to make the required interest payments due
on the Fairwood Debentures and the Company does not expect to make the cash
interest payments required under the Fairwood Debentures on October 1, 1995.
Counsel for the Company has had preliminary discussions with counsel for a
group of Fairwood Debenture holders, who are in the process of attempting to
form an ad hoc committee to address the payment default under the Fairwood
Debentures.
Based on the terms of the Fairwood Debentures, the failure to make the April 1,
1995 interest payment (see note 6) constitutes an event of default which
permits the acceleration of the Fairwood Debentures by the demand of the
holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of the debentures, subject
to a 180-day acceleration blockage provision. Upon acceleration, the Fairwood
Debentures would be due and payable. Accordingly, the Fairwood Debentures have
been classified as current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet as of April 1, 1995.

Consolidated Furniture, the Company's subsidiary, is expected to service its
interest payment obligations from its cash flow from operations and available
credit facilities. Throughout 1994 and the first quarter of 1995, Consolidated
Furniture funded interest obligations related to long-term indebtedness on the
revolving line of credit and the senior subordinated debentures through
increased borrowings from CSCL under the Credit Agreement. The Company is
dependent upon CSCL for funding of its debt service costs. CSCL has in the
past increased its revolving credit line to Consolidated Furniture in order for
Consolidated Furniture to meet its debt service obligations on the revolving
line of credit and the senior subordinated debentures. Under the Credit
Agreement, Consolidated Furniture and its subsidiaries are generally restricted
from transferring moneys to the Company with the exception of amounts for (a)
specified administrative 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 moneys. Management
believes that cash flow from operations and funding from CSCL will be adequate
to meet Consolidated Furniture's obligations on the revolving line of credit
and the senior subordinated debentures through December 31, 1995.
Results of Operations
THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 1, 1995 VERSUS THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 2, 1994
The following discussion presents the material changes in results of operations
which have occurred in the first quarter of 1995 in comparison to the same
period in 1994.
Net sales were approximately $55.4 million in the first quarter of 1995, a
decrease from last year's first quarter sales of approximately $68.2 million,
due primarily to the sale of substantially all of the assets and liabilities of
Super Sagless Corporation. Excluding Super Sagless, sales for the first quarter
of 1995 were approximately $55.4 million compared to approximately $56.1 for
the first quarter of 1994. The decrease was at the Stratford Company, a
division of Furniture Comfort, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Consolidated
Furniture. This small decrease was primarily due to a general slowdown in
mid-price residential furniture as a result of increases in interest rates and
a decline in housing sales in the first quarter of 1995 versus the first
quarter of 1994.
Cost of sales were approximately $49.8 million and $58.5 million for the first
quarters of 1995 and 1994, respectively, or 89.8% and 85.7% of sales for the
first quarters of 1995 and 1994, respectively. Excluding Super Sagless, cost
of sales for the cost of sales were approximately $49.8 million and $48.5
million for the first quarters of 1995 and 1994, respectively, or 89.8% and
86.5% of sales for the first quarters of 1995 and 1994, respectively. Cost of
sales as a percentage of sales increased 3.3% from the first quarter of 1994 to
the first quarter of 1995 due primarily at the Stratford Company from upgrades
in product content combined with material price increases.
Selling, administrative and general expenses for the first quarters of 1995 and
1994 were approximately $7.8 million and $9.8 million, respectively, the
decrease due primarily to the sale of substantially all of the assets and
liabilities of Super Sagless Corporation. Selling, administration and general
expenses, excluding Super Sagless, for the three months of 1995 were
approximately $7.8 million compared to approximately $8.2 million for the first
quarter of 1994. The decrease was due primarily to decreased variable selling
costs and overhead reduction.
- 9 -
10
Other expense, net, was approximately $.3 million and $.5 million for the first
quarters of 1995 and 1994, respectively. The first quarter of 1993 included
losses on the sales of property of approximately $.5 million.
No income taxes have been provided in the first quarters of 1995 and 1994,
respectively, as the Company is in a net operating loss carryforward position.
