O'SULLIVAN INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2003
Note 1--Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements of O'Sullivan Industries Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries
("O'Sullivan") included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain informa
tion and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements and notes thereto included in O'Sullivan's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2003. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.
Note 2--Refinancing of Long-Term Debt
On September 29, 2003, O'Sullivan Industries, Inc. ("O'Sullivan Industries") issued $100.0 million of
privately placed, 10.63% senior secured notes maturing on October 1, 2008. The notes were issued at a price of
95%, providing $95.0 million in cash proceeds before expenses related to the issuance, which were about
$3.8 million. The proceeds were used to repay the term loans under O'Sullivan's senior credit facility. The notes
are secured by a first-priority security interest in and lien on substantially all of O'Sullivan's assets (and on
O'Sullivan Industries' capital stock) other than accounts receivable, inventory, capital stock of O'Sullivan Industries'
subsidiaries, deposit accounts, certain books and records and certain licenses, and by a second-priority security
interest in and lien on substantially all of O'Sullivan's accounts receivable, inventory, deposit accounts, certain
books and records and certain licenses. The notes are guaranteed by O'Sullivan Holdings, O'Sullivan Industries -
Virginia, Inc. ("O'Sullivan Industries - Virginia") and O'Sullivan Furniture Factory Outlet, Inc. On December 23,
2003, O'Sullivan Industries filed a registration statement with respect to an offer to exchange the notes for a new
issue of identical notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The registration statement became
effective on January 8, 2004. The exchange offer is expected to close around February 25, 2004. O'Sullivan
Industries may also be required under certain circumstances to provide a shelf registration statement to cover resales
of the notes.
On September 29, 2003, O'Sullivan Industries, O'Sullivan Industries - Virginia and O'Sullivan Furniture
Factory Outlet, Inc. also entered into a new five-year asset-based credit agreement which permits revolving
borrowings of up to $40.0 million to the extent of availability under a collateral borrowing base. The borrowing
base at December 31, 2003 was approximately $36.9 million. The credit agreement has a $25.0 million sub-limit for
letters of credit, of which O'Sullivan Industries is currently utilizing approximately $14.0 million. The credit
agreement is secured by a first-priority security interest in and lien on substantially all of O'Sullivan's accounts
receivable, inventory, deposit accounts, certain books and records and certain licenses, and a second-priority security
interest in and lien on substantially all of O'Sullivan's assets other than accounts receivable, inventory, capital stock
of O'Sullivan Industries and its subsidiaries, deposit accounts, certain books and records and certain licenses.
O'Sullivan guaranteed the obligations under the credit agreement. The interest rate on loans under the credit
agreement is a LIBOR rate plus 2.5% or an index rate plus 1.0%. A fee equal to 0.5% per annum is paid on the
unused commitment under the credit agreement. No loans were outstanding under the revolving credit agreement as
of December 31, 2003.
In connection with the repayment of the term loans and the termination of the revolving credit facility under
the previous senior credit facility, O'Sullivan expensed approximately $3.1 million of unamortized issuance costs
related to the previous senior credit facility in the first quarter of fiscal 2004.
Long term debt consisted of the following:

Note 3--Derivative Financial Instruments
As required under O'Sullivan's previous senior credit facility, O'Sullivan hedged one-half of its term loans
with an initial notional amount of $67.5 million with a three-year, costless interest rate collar. The collar, which
expired in March 2003, was based on three-month LIBOR and had a floor of 6.43% and a ceiling of 8.75%. For the
three months and six months ended December 31, 2002, O'Sullivan recorded reduced interest expense of $724,000
and $1.3 million, respectively. These amounts represented the change in fair value of the interest rate collar.
Note 4--New Accounting Standards
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of
both Liabilities and Equity. This pronouncement changes the accounting for certain financial instruments that, under
previous guidance, could be accounted for as equity and requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities (or
assets in certain circumstances) on the balance sheet. SFAS 150 also requires disclosures about alternative ways of
settling the instruments and the capital structure of entities all of whose shares are mandatorily redeemable.
SFAS 150 is generally effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and
otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. O'Sullivan adopted
SFAS 150 on July 1, 2003 and reclassified its mandatorily redeemable senior preferred stock as a non-current
liability, instead of as an item between the liabilities and equity section of the balance sheet as historically presented.
Prior period amounts have not been restated in accordance with this statement.
On November 30, 1999, O'Sullivan issued 16,431,050 shares of mandatorily redeemable senior preferred
stock with a liquidation value of $1.50 per share. O'Sullivan's amended and restated certificate of incorporation
authorized the issuance of 17,000,000 shares of mandatorily redeemable senior preferred stock, which has a par
value of $0.01 per share. O'Sullivan may, at its option, redeem the stock at any time. O'Sullivan is required to
redeem the outstanding shares of stock if an unaffiliated third party acquires more than 50% of O'Sullivan's
outstanding common stock. O'Sullivan is required to redeem the stock if outstanding on November 30, 2011 at a
price equal to the initial liquidation value plus unpaid dividends accruing on a daily basis at the rate of 12% per year.
If O'Sullivan does not pay dividends in cash on June 30 or December 31 of each year, then dividends will also
accrue on the unpaid dividends as of that date. Liquidation value plus accrued dividends at December 31, 2003 and
June 30, 2003 was $39.7 million and $37.4 million, respectively. The mandatorily redeemable senior preferred stock
is recorded at its present value of $24.0 million and $21.9 million, including accrued dividends and accretion, at
December 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003, respectively.
Also in accordance with SFAS 150, dividends on mandatorily redeemable financial instruments are now
accounted for as interest expense on the consolidated statement of operations instead of as dividends and accretion
on preferred stock. Interest expense for the senior preferred stock was approximately $2.1 million during the first six
months of fiscal 2004. Adoption of SFAS 150 did not affect O'Sullivan's cash payments or liquidity.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an
Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 ("FIN 46"). FIN 46 establishes accounting guidance for
consolidation of variable interest entities that function to support the activities of the primary beneficiary. FIN 46
applies to any business enterprise, public or private, that has a controlling interest, contractual relationship or other
business relationship with a variable interest entity. In December 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46(R)
("FIN 46(R)") which supercedes FIN 46. FIN 46(R) is effective for all Special Purpose Entities ("SPE's") created
prior to February 1, 2003 at the end of the first interim or annual reporting period ending after December 15, 2003.
FIN 46(R) will be applicable to all non-SPE's created prior to February 1, 2003 by public entities at the end of the
first interim or annual reporting period ending after March 15, 2004. O'Sullivan has determined that it has no SPE's.
O'Sullivan is in the process of reviewing the applicability of FIN 46(R) to entities other than SPE's, but does not
expect the adoption to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
Note 5--Stock Based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation for employees under Accounting Principles Board ("APB")
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and have elected the disclosure-only alternative under
SFAS 123. No stock-based compensation cost is recorded, as all options granted have an exercise price equal to the
market value of the stock on the date of the grant. In accordance with SFAS 148, the following table presents the
effect on net income (loss) had compensation cost for O'Sullivan's stock plans been determined consistent with
SFAS 123:

For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over
the vesting period. O'Sullivan did not grant any options during the six months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002.
Note 6--Shipping and Handling Costs
O'Sullivan reports amounts billed to customers as revenue, the cost for warehousing operations in cost of
sales and freight out costs as part of selling, marketing and administrative expenses. Freight out costs included in
selling, marketing and administrative expenses in the second quarters of fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003 were
approximately $1.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Freight out costs in the six months ended December 31,
2003 and 2002 were $3.2 million and $3.6 million, respectively.

Note 8--Condensed Consolidating Financial Information
In November 1999 O'Sullivan Industries issued $100 million of 13.375% senior subordinated notes due
2009. These notes were unsecured obligations of O'Sullivan Industries; however, they were guaranteed on an
unsecured basis by O'Sullivan Industries - Virginia, Inc. and any future subsidiaries created, including O'Sullivan
Furniture Factory Outlet, Inc., which commenced operations in April 2002. The guarantees are full and
unconditional. In fiscal 2000, O'Sullivan Industries exchanged the notes issued in November 1999 for notes with
substantially identical terms and associated guarantees. The exchange notes have been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
In September 2003 O'Sullivan Industries issued $100 million of 10.63% senior secured notes. These notes
are secured by substantially all the assets of O'Sullivan Industries and its guarantor subsidiaries O'Sullivan Industries
- - Virginia and O'Sullivan Furniture Factory Outlet, Inc. The senior secured notes are also guaranteed by O'Sullivan
Holdings. The guarantees are full and unconditional. Security for the senior secured notes includes first priority
liens and security interests in the stock of O'Sullivan Industries.
The accompanying condensed consolidating financial information has been prepared and presented
pursuant to SEC rules and regulations.

Note 9--Income Taxes
O'Sullivan recorded no tax expense for the three or six months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 because
of the valuation allowance recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2002.
Note 10--Related Party Transactions
O'Sullivan Industries entered into a management services agreement with Bruckmann, Rosser, Sherrill &
Co., LLC ("BRS") for strategic and financial advisory services on November 30, 1999. The fee for these services is
the greater of (a) 1% of O'Sullivan Industries' consolidated cash flow (as defined in the indenture related to the
O'Sullivan Industries senior subordinated notes) or (b) $300,000 per year. Under the management services
agreement, BRS can also receive reimbursement for expenses.
The credit agreement, the indenture for the senior secured notes and the management services agreement all
contain certain restrictions on the payment of the management fee. The management services agreement provides
that no cash payment for the management fee can be made unless the fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the
indenture for the senior subordinated notes) for O'Sullivan Industries' most recently ended four full fiscal quarters
would have been greater than 2.0 to 1.0. Similarly, the indenture for the senior secured notes provides that payments
under the management services agreement are conditional and contingent upon the fixed charge coverage ratio (as
defined in the indenture for the senior secured notes) for the four most recently ended full fiscal quarters immediately
preceding any payment date being at least 2.0 to 1. The credit agreement prevents O'Sullivan Industries from paying
fees and expenses under the management services agreement if a default or event of default exists or if one would
occur as a result of the payment. All fees and expenses under the management services agreement are subordinated
to the senior subordinated notes.
The management fees and reimbursable expenses of $145,000 and $233,000 recognized in the first half of
fiscal years 2004 and 2003, respectively, are included in selling, marketing and administrative expense in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations. O'Sullivan Industries paid BRS $713,000 in the first quarter
of fiscal 2003 for the balance owed through June 30, 2002 and $305,000 as a prepayment of the fiscal 2003
management fee. An additional prepayment of $285,000 for fiscal 2003 management fees was made in January
2003. The prepaid balance at December 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003 was $2,000 and $147,000, respectively, and is
included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
Employee Loans. At December 31, 2003, O'Sullivan held two notes receivable with a balance of
approximately $355,000 from employees of O'Sullivan. O'Sullivan loaned the employees money to purchase
common stock and Series B junior preferred stock of O'Sullivan in the November 1999 recapitalization and merger.
The notes bear interest at the rate of 9% per annum and mature on November 30, 2009, or earlier if there is a change
of control, and are with full recourse. The receivables are recorded on O'Sullivan's consolidated balance sheets as
an increase in stockholders' deficit.
Note 11--Commitments and Contingencies
Tax Sharing Agreement with RadioShack. Future tax sharing agreement payments are contingent on
taxable income. The maximum payments are fiscal 2004--$11.6 million; fiscal 2005--$10.5 million; fiscal
2006--$11.3 million; and thereafter--$38.7 million. O'Sullivan estimates that its payments to RadioShack during
fiscal 2004 will aggregate $2.3 million.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Overview
We are a leading ready-to-assemble furniture manufacturer in North America with over 45 years of
experience. We design, manufacture and distribute a broad range of RTA furniture products--computer
workcenters, desks, entertainment centers, audio stands, bookcases and cabinets.
Recent Trends
Our net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2004 were down about 17.5% from sales for the same quarter
in fiscal 2003. For the first half of fiscal 2004, our sales declined about 9.3%. Our sales declined for several
reasons:
o increasing competition from imported furniture, particularly from China;
o the slowdown of economic growth and consumer spending in the United States from 2001 into
2003;
o liquidations and bankruptcies by a number of customers, including Montgomery Ward, Ames and
Kmart;
o increased competition from domestic competition due to excess capacity in the RTA furniture
industry;
o inventory reductions by our customers; and
o a focus by several of our retail partners toward higher price point offerings, which include products
using materials other than our particleboard and laminate capabilities.
These factors will continue to affect our business throughout the remainder of fiscal 2004.
Due to the low sales levels, we decreased production levels at our manufacturing facilities, which adversely
affected our fixed cost absorption. We also increased promotional activities with several of our major retail partners.
As a result, our operating income fell to $2.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2003, compared with
$8.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2002. For the first half of fiscal 2004, our operating income was
$6.6 million compared to $16.0 million in the first half of fiscal 2003. Net loss for the quarter ended December 31,
2003 was $5.4 million compared to a net income of $2.0 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2003. Net loss
for the six months ended December 31, 2003 was $12.7 million, compared to a net income of $3.5 million for the six
months ended December 31, 2002. The net loss for the fiscal 2004 quarter reflects lower sales and the reduction in
operating income. The net loss for the first half of fiscal 2004 reflects lower sales and operating income, as well as
the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs related to our previous senior credit facility. The net loss also
reflects increased interest expense due to our July 1, 2003 adoption of SFAS 150, pursuant to which we now account
for dividends on our mandatorily redeemable senior preferred stock as interest expense.
Several manufacturers, including O'Sullivan, have excess manufacturing capacity due to the current decline
in sales in the RTA furniture segment and increasing imports. This excess capacity is causing increased competition
that is expected to continue, and perhaps to intensify, through the remainder of fiscal 2004. This adversely affected
our margins and results of operations in fiscal 2003, and is continuing to affect sales, margins and results of
operations in fiscal 2004.
We have recently been informed by Best Buy that it intends to reduce orders of particleboard furniture. As
a result, we expect our sales to Best Buy to decline significantly. We hope to partially offset this loss by increasing
sales to other customers, but we can not assure you that this will occur.
Refinancing Transactions
On September 29, 2003, O'Sullivan Industries issued $100 million of senior secured notes and executed a
new five-year $40 million senior secured revolving credit agreement. The proceeds of the senior secured notes were
used to repay O'Sullivan Industries' existing $88.3 million senior credit facility and related fees and expenses. The
senior secured notes were sold at 95% of their face value, bear interest at 10.63% and mature on October 1, 2008.
As of December 31, 2003, we had no borrowings under the new credit agreement, although $14.0 million of letters
of credit were outstanding.
Raw Materials
We purchase large quantities of raw materials, including particleboard and fiberboard. We are dependent
on our outside suppliers for all of our raw materials. Therefore, we are subject to changes in the prices charged by
our suppliers.
Due to the nature of our product lines, we have material sensitivity to some commodities, including
particleboard, fiberboard, corrugated cardboard and hardware. We manage commodity price exposures primarily
through the duration and terms of our vendor agreements. A 1.0% change in our raw material prices would affect
our cost of sales by approximately $1.4 million annually.
In the first half of fiscal 2004, we saw increases of approximately 5% to 10% in the price of particleboard,
our largest-cost raw material. We expect additional price increases in the last half of fiscal 2004, and perhaps
beyond, as demand for particleboard has increased and suppliers have reduced capacity. Because we utilize first-in,
first-out accounting for our inventory, not all of the price increases are reflected in our cost of goods sold for the first
six months of fiscal 2004. These price increases will reduce our operating margins and operating income for the
remainder of fiscal 2004 and perhaps beyond. Further, the reduction in particleboard manufacturing capacity may
create shortages that might delay the rollouts of some new products from our fiscal year 2004 third quarter to the
fourth quarter.
We will endeavor to reduce the impact of the price increases through our value analysis program and by the
eventual inclusion of the higher costs in the pricing of our products. In our value analysis program, we endeavor to
remove costs from the production of a product without sacrificing utility or quality of the product. We cannot assure
you that we will be successful in offsetting these or future potential raw material price increases.
RadioShack Arbitration and Accounting for Tax Sharing Agreement with RadioShack
In 1994, RadioShack, then Tandy Corporation, completed an initial public offering of O'Sullivan. In
connection with the offering, we entered into a tax sharing and tax benefit reimbursement agreement with
RadioShack. RadioShack and O'Sullivan made elections under Sections 338(g) and 338(h)(10) of the Internal
Revenue Code with the effect that the tax basis of our assets was increased to the deemed purchase price of the
assets, and an equal amount of such increase was included as taxable income in the consolidated federal tax return of
RadioShack. The result was that the tax basis of our assets exceeded the historical book basis we used for financial
reporting purposes.
The increased tax basis of our assets results in increased tax deductions and, accordingly, reduced our
taxable income or increased our net operating loss. Under the tax sharing agreement, we are contractually obligated
to pay RadioShack nearly all of the federal tax benefit expected to be realized with respect to such additional basis.
The payments under the agreement represent additional consideration for the stock of O'Sullivan Industries, Inc. and
further increase the tax basis of our assets from the 1994 initial public offering when payments are made to
RadioShack.
To the extent the benefit of these basis step-up deductions caused us to have a federal taxable loss, we were
only obligated to pay RadioShack to the extent that the benefits were used to reduce taxable income to zero. Any
additional tax deductions resulting from the step-up create a net operating loss ("NOL") carryforward on our federal
income tax return. Under the terms of the tax sharing agreement, if we utilized this NOL carryforward to generate
future tax savings, we were also obligated to remit that benefit received to RadioShack.
O'Sullivan recorded the deferred tax asset created by the step-up in basis and the additional basis from the
probable future payments to RadioShack as of February 1994. At the same time, we recorded our obligation to
RadioShack. The amounts of the deferred tax asset and obligation to RadioShack were each $147.9 million at
February 1994. From 1994 through 2001, we reduced the amount of the deferred tax asset and the obligation to
RadioShack as we realized the benefits of the deferred tax asset and paid RadioShack amounts due under the tax
sharing agreement.
In November 1999, we completed a leveraged recapitalization and merger transaction which significantly
increased our debt. As a result of the higher debt levels, we also experienced increased interest expense, which
reduced our taxable income and also reduced the tax benefits used from the deductions arising from the step-up in
basis. We reduced our payments to RadioShack accordingly. RadioShack claimed that the deductions arising from
the increased interest payments should not impact tax benefit payments due RadioShack under the tax agreement.
RadioShack pursued this matter and prevailed in an arbitration ruling in March 2002. We reached a settlement
agreement with RadioShack in May 2002. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, we paid RadioShack $24.6 million
in May 2002 and an additional $3.1 million in June 2002. The sum of these two payments ($27.7 million)
represented the amount due RadioShack under the settlement agreement through June 30, 2002. These amounts
represent the calculation of what benefits we would have realized had we not had the additional interest expense
from the 1999 recapitalization and merger. The settlement agreement requires calculations into the future and
quarterly payments to RadioShack if our taxable income adjusted for the additional interest expense shows that we
would have realized the benefits had we not incurred the additional interest expense. If on this basis, we could have
used the deductions from the step-up in basis, we are required to make a payment to RadioShack even though we
may not be receiving any current tax benefit from these deductions on our federal income tax return.
The remaining maximum obligation to RadioShack was $109.1 million at March 31, 2002. We reduced the
obligation by subsequent payments; the balance was $81.4 million at June 30, 2002 and $72.1 million at June 30,
2003 and December 31, 2003.
Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 109, we must determine if it is more likely
than not that we will realize the net deferred tax asset as a reduction in our tax liabilities in the future. SFAS 109
requires objective evidence to support the more likely than not conclusion. The arbitration decision dramatically
affected our liquidity, which reduced the amounts we could invest in sales efforts or cost improvements, as most free
cash flow would now be used to pay RadioShack or to repay our indebtedness. In addition, it became evident to us
by March 2002 that the prolonged economic slowdown that started prior to September 11, 2001 was continuing.
This, coupled with the adverse effect on our liquidity of the settlement, caused us to lower our projections of future
taxable income. Accordingly, we projected our expected future taxable income utilizing operating performance we
achieved in fiscal 2002 assuming our performance would be no better or worse over an extended period of time.
Such projections indicate that we would not have taxable income until 2009 when substantially all the tax benefit
deductions had been taken. At that point, the projections indicated that our net operating losses existing at that time
would be utilized before they expire. However, we currently have and expect to have taxable losses for a number of
years in the future. Projections over a long time are inherently uncertain, and we cannot provide objective evidence
that our operations in 2009 and beyond will produce sufficient taxable income. As a result, we provided a full
valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets in fiscal 2002 with a corresponding charge to income tax expense.
As a result of providing a full valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets in fiscal 2002, we did not
record a tax provision in the first six months of fiscal 2003 or 2004. We do not expect to record a tax provision or
benefit in the foreseeable future. If at a future date we determine that some or all of the deferred tax asset will more
likely than not be realized, we will reverse the appropriate portion of the valuation allowance and credit income tax
expense.
See "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Information."
Results of Operations
Net Sales. Net sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 decreased by $13.9 million, or 17.5%, to
$65.2 million from $79.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2002. Net sales for the six months ended
December 31, 2003 decreased by $14.0 million, or 9.3%, to $136.7 million from $150.7 million for the six months
ended December 31, 2002. Our sales declined in every major channel due to extremely competitive conditions,
economic uncertainties and the other reasons cited above. Most of the decline for the quarter and six months was
due to a decline in unit volume, although the average price per unit also declined slightly.
Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased to $14.6 million, or 22.4% of sales, for the three month period ended
December 31, 2003, from $19.7 million, or 24.9% of sales, for the comparable prior year quarter. The gross margin
percentage for the second quarter of fiscal 2004 declined primarily because of lower sales, lower production levels,
changes in our customer mix, increasing raw material prices and increasing promotional activities with several retail
partners. For the six months ended December 31, 2003, gross profit declined to $28.9 million, or 21.1% of sales,
from $39.7 million, or 26.3% of sales. Gross profit declined for the fist half of fiscal 2004 due to lower sales levels,
lower production levels, changes in our customer mix, increasing promotional activities and product sold at
discounted pricing.
Selling, Marketing and Administrative Expenses. Selling, marketing and administrative expenses were
about flat at $11.6 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2003, compared to the quarter ended
December 31, 2002. Because of our lower sales in the fiscal 2004 period, selling, marketing and administrative
expenses increased to 17.8% of our net sales for the fiscal 2004 second quarter compared to 14.7% of net sales in the
second quarter of fiscal 2003. Freight out expense increased due to charges incurred to ship displays to certain
customers. Royalty expenses increased due to royalties paid in connection with our license agreement with The
Coleman Company, Inc. These charges were offset by decreased replacement parts expense and lower incentive
compensation and profit sharing costs.
For the six months ended December 31, 2003, selling, marketing and administrative expenses decreased
$1.6 million from $23.7 million in fiscal 2002 to $22.1 million in fiscal 2003. The major factors contributing to the
decrease were decreased bad debt expense, decreased freight out expense and lower incentive compensation and
profit sharing costs.
Casualty Loss. In November 2003, a fire destroyed certain of our manufacturing equipment. We recorded
a casualty loss of $250,000 in the quarter ended December 31, 2003. We deferred recognition of potential gains
resulting from estimated insurance recoveries until the insurance proceeds have been received. We currently expect
to record approximately $550,000 of gains on insurance recoveries during the second half of fiscal 2004.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses of $3.3 million for the second
quarter of fiscal 2004 and $6.6 million year to date remained flat compared to the second quarter and year to date for
fiscal 2003.
Operating Income. Operating income decreased $5.4 million to $2.7 million for the quarter ended
December 31, 2003 from $8.1 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2002 due to lower sales and operating
levels. For the six months ended December 31, 2003, operating income decreased $9.4 million over the six months
ended December 31, 2002. Our operating income declined because of our lower sales levels, lower production
levels which adversely affected our fixed cost absorption, changes in customer mix, increasing raw material prices
and increased promotion activities with several of our major retail partners.
Net Interest Expense. Net interest expense increased from $6.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2003
to $8.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. Net interest expense increased $4.1 million from $12.5 million
for the first half of fiscal 2003 to $16.6 million for the first half of fiscal 2004. Interest expense increased due to the
reclassification of dividends on our senior preferred stock as interest expense in fiscal 2004 of approximately $1.0
million for the quarter and $2.1 million for six months ended December 31, 2003, respectively, and the fiscal 2003
change in value of our interest rate collar that expired in March 2003. The following table summarizes our net
interest expense:

Other Financing Income(Expense). We recorded a gain of $616,000 in the quarter ended December 31,
2003 in connection with the repurchase of $4.0 million of our senior subordinated notes, net of original issue
discount and capitalized loan fees. For the six months ended December 31, 2003, we recorded other financing costs
expense of $2.7 million related to the write-off of capitalized loan fees for the old senior credit facility of about
$3.3 million in the September 2003 quarter, offset by the gain on the repurchase of the subordinated notes.
Income Tax Provision. We recorded no tax expense for the first or second quarters of fiscal 2004 or 2003
because of the valuation allowance recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2002. See "RadioShack Arbitration and
Accounting for Tax Sharing Agreement with RadioShack."
Net Income (Loss). We incurred a net loss of $5.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2004 compared to
net income of $2.0 million in fiscal 2003 due to lower sales and operating levels and increased interest expense. Net
income decreased $16.2 million from net income of $3.5 million in the first half of fiscal 2003 to a net loss of
$12.7 million in the first half of fiscal 2004 due to lower sales and operating levels, promotional activities with our
retail partners and increased interest expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We are highly leveraged and have a stockholders' deficit of approximately $150.1 million at December 31,
2003. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and borrowings under our senior credit
agreement, which is discussed below. Our liquidity requirements will be to pay our debt, including interest expense
under the senior credit agreement and notes, to provide for working capital and capital expenditures and to pay
RadioShack amounts due under the tax sharing agreement. Decreased demand for our products could decrease our
cash flow from operations and the availability of borrowings under our credit agreement.
Working Capital. As of December 31, 2003, cash and cash equivalents totaled $11.4 million. Net working
capital was $54.9 million at December 31, 2003 compared to $45.8 million at June 30, 2003.
Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended December 31,
2003 was $5.0 million compared to net cash provided of $1.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2002.
Cash flow from operations increased year-over-year for the following reasons.
o Net income in fiscal 2004 was about $16.2 million lower than in the first half of fiscal 2003.
o Included in net loss for fiscal 2004 were non-cash charges of $2.1 million for interest and accretion on our
senior preferred stock and $2.7 million of debt extinguishment costs, net.
o In fiscal 2003, the liability associated with the interest rate collar declined by $1.3 million.
o Accounts receivable increased $4.3 million in the first half of fiscal 2004 compared with an increase of
$1.3 million in the first half of fiscal 2003.
o In fiscal 2004, inventories decreased by $2.0 million compared with $3.4 million in fiscal 2003.
o During the first half of fiscal 2004, no amounts were due RadioShack under the terms of the tax sharing
agreement; in the first half of fiscal 2003, we paid RadioShack $6.2 million.
o Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased $4.7 million during the first half of fiscal 2004
compared to a decrease of $6.0 million during the first half of fiscal 2003. Profit sharing and incentive
compensation payments during the first half of fiscal 2003 were higher than in the first half of fiscal 2004
because of the respective prior year financial results. Accrued interest was higher in fiscal 2004 due to the
refinancing of our old senior credit facility.
Investing Activities. We invested $540,000 for capital expenditures for the six months ended December 31,
2003 compared to $2.7 million for the prior year six month period. We currently estimate that the total capital
expenditure requirements for the remainder of the fiscal year will be approximately $2.0 million to $3.0 million,
which we expect to fund from cash flow from operations or cash on hand. Our ability to make future capital
expenditures is subject to certain restrictions under our credit agreement.
Financing Activities. On September 29, 2003 we refinanced our old senior credit facility with $100.0
million of new privately placed senior secured notes and an asset-based credit agreement.
The $100.0 million senior secured notes mature on October 1, 2008 and bear interest at 10.63%. The notes
were issued by O'Sullivan Industries at a price of 95%, providing $95.0 million in cash proceeds before expenses
related to the issuance of about $3.8 million. The notes are secured by a first-priority security interest in and lien on
substantially all of our assets (and on O'Sullivan Industries' capital stock) other than accounts receivable, inventory,
capital stock of O'Sullivan Industries' subsidiaries, deposit accounts, certain books and records and certain licenses,
and by a second-priority security interest in and lien on substantially all of our accounts receivable, inventory,
deposit accounts, certain books and records and certain licenses. The notes are guaranteed by O'Sullivan Holdings,
O'Sullivan Industries - Virginia and O'Sullivan Furniture Factory Outlet, Inc. We also entered into a registration
rights agreement pursuant to which we are obligated to file a registration statement with respect to an offer to
exchange the notes for a new issue of identical notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, within
90 days after this offering closes, and to use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to
declared effective on or prior to 180 days after the notes were issued. We filed the registration statement on
December 23, 2003, and it became effective on January 8, 2004. The exchange offer is expected to close around
February 25, 2004. We may also be required under certain circumstances to provide a shelf registration statement to
cover resales of the notes.
The five-year asset-based credit agreement permits revolving borrowings of up to $40.0 million to the
extent of availability under a collateral borrowing base. The credit agreement has a $25.0 million sub-limit for
letters of credit, of which we are currently utilizing approximately $14.0 million. The credit agreement is secured by
a first-priority security interest in and lien on substantially all of our accounts receivable, inventory, deposit accounts,
certain books and records and certain licenses, and a second-priority security interest in and lien on substantially all
of our assets other than accounts receivable, inventory, capital stock of our subsidiaries, deposit accounts, certain
books and records and certain licenses. The interest rate on loans under the credit agreement is a LIBOR rate plus
2.5% or an index rate plus 1.0%. We also pay a quarterly fee equal to 0.5% per annum of the unused commitment
under the credit agreement. O'Sullivan Industries - Virginia and O'Sullivan Furniture Factory Outlet, Inc. are also
parties to the credit agreement. No loans were outstanding under the credit agreement as of December 31, 2003.
In connection with the repayment of the term loans and the termination of the revolving credit facility under
the senior credit facility, we expensed approximately $3.1 million of unamortized issuance costs related to the
facility in the first quarter of fiscal 2004.
Our consolidated indebtedness at December 31, 2003 was $218.1 million consisting of:
o a credit agreement providing for asset-based revolving credit of up $40.0 million. The borrowing
base at December 31, 2003 was approximately $36.9 million. No borrowings were outstanding
under the credit agreement, although letters of credit aggregating approximately $14.0 million
were outstanding under the credit agreement.
o $100.0 million in 10.63% senior secured notes due October 1, 2008. These notes were issued at a
price of 95% providing $95.0 million in cash proceeds before expenses related to the issuance.
o $96.0 million in 13-3/8% senior subordinated notes due 2009 issued with warrants to purchase
6.0% of our common and Series B junior preferred stock on a fully diluted basis. These warrants
were assigned a value of $3.5 million. These notes were issued at a price of 98.046% providing
$98.0 million in cash proceeds before expenses related to the issuance. In October 2003, we
repurchased $4.0 million of the notes and recorded other financing income of $616,000 net of
original issue discount and capitalized loan fees.
o $10.0 million in variable rate industrial revenue bonds.
o $23.6 million, including $8.6 million of interest added to the principal of the note, in a senior note
issued with warrants to purchase 6.0% of our common and Series B junior preferred stock on a
fully diluted basis. These warrants were assigned a value of $3.5 million.

With the refinancing of our old senior credit facility, we have no principal payments due on our debt until
October 2008. We expect to fund interest payments on our debt from cash flow from operations, cash on hand or
borrowings under our credit agreement. We expect our borrowing availability under our credit agreement will
approximate $40.0 million reduced by any letters of credit outstanding. Decreased demand for our products could
decrease our inventory and accounts receivable levels and the availability of borrowings under our credit facility.
As required under our old senior credit facility, we hedged one-half of our term loans with an initial
notional amount of $67.5 million with a costless interest rate collar. The collar, which expired on March 31, 2003,
was based on three-month LIBOR with a floor of 6.43% and a ceiling of 8.75%. The counter-party to our interest
rate collar provided us with the payment amount that would have been required to terminate the collar as of the end
of each quarter. We recorded the change in fair value of the collar as increased or decreased interest expense in the
consolidated statements of operations and included the resulting liability in accrued liabilities on the consolidated
balance sheets.
See the overview section of this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations for a discussion of the impact of the Settlement Agreement with RadioShack on our liquidity and
financial condition.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements. At December 31, 2003, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that
have or are likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
As of December 31, 2003, our contractual obligations due in the future matured as follows:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our
consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities.
On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to customer programs and
incentives, bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, income taxes, restructuring, asset impairments, contingencies
and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are
reasonable under the circumstances. The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the
carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ
from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates
used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
o We derive our revenue from product sales. We recognize revenue from the sale of products when
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered, the price is fixed or
determinable and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. For all sales, we use
purchase orders from the customer, whether written or electronically transmitted, as evidence that a
sales arrangement exists. Generally, delivery occurs when product is delivered to a common carrier or
private carrier, with standard terms being FOB shipping point. We assess whether the price is fixed or
determinable based upon the payment terms associated with the transaction. We assess collection based
on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the creditworthiness of
the customer. Collateral generally is not requested from customers.
o We record estimated reductions to revenue for customer programs and incentive offerings including
special pricing agreements, price protection, promotions and other volume-based incentives. Market
conditions could require us to take actions to increase customer incentive offerings. These offerings
could result in our estimates being too small and reduce our revenues when the incentive is offered.
o We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our
customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate,
resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
o We write down our inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the
difference between the cost of inventory and its estimated market value based upon assumptions about
future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those
projected by us, additional inventory write-downs may be required. Obsolete and slow-moving
inventory reserves were approximately $2.9 million and $4.3 million at December 31, 2003 and
June 30, 2003, respectively.
o We record our deferred tax assets at the amount that the asset is more likely than not to be realized. As
of December 31, 2003, we have provided a valuation allowance against our total net deferred tax asset.
While we have considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning
strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance, our determinations can change. If we
objectively determine it was more likely than not we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in
the future in excess of our recorded amount, we would reduce our valuation allowance, increasing
income in the period such determination was made.
o We periodically review our long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for impairment and
determine whether an event or change in facts and circumstances indicates their carrying amount may
not be recoverable. We determine recoverability of the assets by comparing the carrying amount of the
assets to the net future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by those assets. Future cash
flows are estimated using revenue growth projections that take into consideration the estimated life of
our various products. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the
assets, an impairment charge is recognized. Adverse economic conditions could cause us to record
impairment charges in the future.
o We assess goodwill at least annually for impairment by applying a fair-value-based test, using the
enterprise as the reporting unit. If the book value of the reporting unit is below the fair value of the
reporting unit, there is no impairment loss. Adverse economic conditions could cause us to record
impairment charges in the future.
Legal Proceedings
On September 24, 2002, Montgomery Ward, LLC filed suit against O'Sullivan Industries in the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware, alleging that payments made by Montgomery Ward within 90 days prior to
its bankruptcy constituted preferential transfers under the Bankruptcy Code that should be recovered from
O'Sullivan Industries by Montgomery Ward, together with interest. The alleged payments aggregate $3.7 million.
We responded to the suit denying we received any preferential payments. We are contesting this lawsuit vigorously.
In August 2002, Ames decided to close all of its stores and liquidate. Actual net sales to Ames in fiscal
2003 were minimal. In August 2003, Ames Department Stores, Inc. filed suit against O'Sullivan Industries in the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York alleging that payments made by Ames within 90 days prior to
its bankruptcy constituted preferential transfers under the Bankruptcy Code that should be recovered from
O'Sullivan Industries by Ames, together with interest. The alleged payments aggregate $2.1 million. We received
the summons in this action on September 22, 2003. We responded to the suit denying we received any preferential
payments. We are contesting this lawsuit vigorously.
In November 2001 House2Home filed for bankruptcy and eventually liquidated. In January 2004 we
received notice of a November 2003 suit against O'Sullivan Industries in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Central District
of California alleging that payments made by House2Home within 90 days prior to its bankruptcy constituted
preferential transfers under the Bankruptcy Code that should be recovered from O'Sullivan Industries by
House2Home together with interest. The alleged payments aggregate $700,000. We intend to respond to the suit
denying we received any preferential payments. We intend to contest this lawsuit vigorously.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Information
Certain portions of this Report, and particularly the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contain forward-looking
statements. These statements can be identified by the use of future tense or dates or terms such as "believe,"
"would," "expect," "anticipate" or "plan." These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Actual
results may differ materially from those predicted by the forward-looking statements. Factors and possible events
which could cause results to differ include:
o changes from anticipated levels of sales, whether due to future national or regional economic and
competitive conditions, including new domestic or foreign entrants into the industry, customer
acceptance of existing and new products, terrorist attacks or otherwise, as we are experiencing now;
o loss of liquidity due to the arbitration panel's opinion in RadioShack Corporation v. O'Sullivan
Industries Holdings, Inc.;
o significant indebtedness that may limit our financial and operational flexibility;
o raw material cost increases, particularly in particleboard and fiberboard, as are occurring now and have
previously occurred in 1994 and 1995 and to a lesser extent in fiscal 2000;
o pricing pressures due to excess capacity in the ready-to-assemble furniture industry, as is occurring
again now, or customer demand in excess of our ability to supply product;
o transportation cost increases, due to higher fuel costs or otherwise;
o loss of or reduced sales to significant customers as a result of bankruptcy, liquidation, merger,
acquisition or any other reason, as occurred with the liquidation of Montgomery Ward in fiscal 2001,
the liquidation of Ames in fiscal 2003 and with the reorganization of Kmart beginning in fiscal 2002;
o actions of current or new competitors, foreign or domestic, that increase competition with our products
or prices;
o the consolidation of manufacturers in the ready-to-assemble furniture industry;
o increased advertising costs associated with promotional efforts;
o increased interest rates;
o pending or new litigation or governmental regulations such as the arbitration involving RadioShack;
o other uncertainties which are difficult to predict or beyond our control; and
o the risk that we incorrectly analyze these risks and forces, or that the strategies we develop to address
them could be unsuccessful.
See also the Risk Factors section in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2003.
Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ
significantly from those predicted in these forward-looking statements. You should not place a lot of weight on these
statements. These statements speak only as of the date of this document or, in the case of any document incorporated
by reference, the date of that document.
All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to O'Sullivan or any person acting
on our behalf are qualified by the cautionary statements in this section. We will have no obligation to revise these
forward-looking statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Our market risk is affected by changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and certain
commodity prices. Under our policies, we may use natural hedging techniques and derivative financial instruments
to reduce the impact of adverse changes in market prices. We do not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading
purposes. We believe that our foreign exchange risk is not material.
We have market risk in interest rate exposure, primarily in the United States. We manage interest rate
exposure through our mix of fixed and floating rate debt. Interest rate instruments may be used to adjust interest rate
exposures when appropriate based on market conditions. Our interest rate collar expired on March 31, 2003. At
December 31, 2003, $10.0 million of our debt was subject to variable interest rates. A change in interest rates of one
percentage point would change our cash interest by about $100,000 annually.
Due to the nature of our product lines, we have material sensitivity to some commodities, including
particleboard, fiberboard, corrugated cardboard and hardware. We manage commodity price exposures primarily
through the duration and terms of our vendor agreements. A 1.0% change in our raw material prices would affect
our cost of sales by approximately $1.4 million annually.
In the first half of fiscal 2004, we saw increases of approximately 5% to 10% in the price of particleboard,
our largest-cost raw material. We expect additional price increases in the last half of fiscal 2004, and perhaps
beyond, as demand for particleboard has increased and suppliers have reduced capacity. Because we utilize first-in,
first-out accounting for our inventory, not all of the price increases are reflected in our cost of goods sold for the first
six months of fiscal 2004. These price increases will reduce our operating margins and operating income for the
remainder of fiscal 2004 and perhaps beyond. Further, the reduction in particleboard manufacturing capacity may
create shortages that might delay the rollouts of some new products from our fiscal year 2004 third quarter to the
fourth quarter.
We will endeavor to reduce the impact of the price increases through our value analysis program and by the
eventual inclusion of the higher costs in the pricing of our products. In our value analysis program, we endeavor to
remove costs from the production of a product without sacrificing utility or quality of the product. We cannot assure
you that we will be successful in offsetting these or future potential price increases.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
(a) O'Sullivan carried out an evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, under the
supervision and with the participation of O'Sullivan's management, including O'Sullivan's Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of O'Sullivan's disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act")). Based on that evaluation, O'Sullivan's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that O'Sullivan's disclosure controls and procedures (1) were effective in alerting them, in a timely
manner, to material information relating to O'Sullivan required to be included in O'Sullivan's periodic SEC filings
and (2) were adequate to ensure that information required to be disclosed by O'Sullivan in the reports filed or
submitted by O'Sullivan under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed and summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.
(b) There have been no significant changes in O'Sullivan's internal controls over financial reporting
subsequent to September 30, 2003 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
O'Sullivan's internal control over financial reporting.
PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
In November 2001 House2Home filed for bankruptcy and eventually closed all of its stores. In January
2004 we received notice of a November 2003 suit against O'Sullivan Industries in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court,
Central District of California alleging that payments made by House2Home within 90 days prior to its bankruptcy
constituted preferential transfers under the Bankruptcy Code that should be recovered from O'Sullivan Industries by
House2Home together with interest. The alleged payments aggregate $700,000. We intend to respond to the suit
denying we received any preferential payments. We intend to contest this lawsuit vigorously.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
An annual meeting of stockholders of O'Sullivan was held on November 13, 2003 to elect two Class I
directors. We did not solicit proxies. Messrs. Charles A. Carroll and Richard D. Davidson were reelected as Class I
directors. Messrs. Carroll and Davidson each received 1,176,068 votes for reelection; no votes were withheld. The
terms of office of Messrs. Daniel F. O'Sullivan and Harold O. Rosser did not expire in 2003; they continue as
directors of O'Sullivan.
