PART I

Item 1. Business.

History and Overview

We are a leading designer, manufacturer and distributor of ready-to-assemble, or RTA, furniture products in
the United States, with over 45 years of experience. Our products provide the consumer with high quality, value and
easy-to-assemble furniture and comprise a broad range of product offerings, including desks, computer workcenters,
entertainment centers, television and audio stands, bookcases, storage units and cabinets. Over 90% of our sales are
for products offered at price points between $19 and $300, covering the majority of price points in the RTA furniture
market. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, we had net sales of $268.8 million, down 7.0% from $289.2 million
in fiscal 2003, and operating income of $9.4 million, down 65% from $26.7 million in fiscal 2003. The sales and
operating declines were caused primarily by a decline in the RTA furniture market, increased competition from
foreign and domestic competitors, reduced margins due to increased competition and a product mix reflecting more
promotional merchandise and increasing raw material prices, principally particleboard and fiberboard.

We distribute our products primarily through multi-store retail chains, including office superstores, discount
mass merchants, home centers and consumer electronic superstores. Our largest retail customers include OfficeMax,
Wal-Mart, Office Depot, Staples and Lowe's. We service our customers from two modern manufacturing and
distribution facilities totaling approximately 1.8 million square feet, located in Lamar, Missouri and South Boston,
Virginia. Our manufacturing facilities are equipped with highly automated manufacturing processes which enhance
our efficiency and flexibility. Our production capabilities enable us to optimally serve our customers and profitably
pursue the most attractive categories of the RTA furniture market.

O'Sullivan's business was founded in 1954 by Thomas M. O'Sullivan, Sr. and was acquired by Tandy
Corporation in 1983. In 1993, Tandy transferred O'Sullivan Industries to its subsidiary TE Electronics Inc. In
February 1994, TE Electronics Inc. transferred O'Sullivan Industries to O'Sullivan Industries Holdings, Inc. in
exchange for O'Sullivan Holdings common stock and O'Sullivan Holdings' obligations under a tax sharing
agreement. TE Electronics Inc. then sold its shares of O'Sullivan Holdings stock in a public offering. On November
30, 1999, O'Sullivan Holdings completed a recapitalization and merger through which the outstanding stock of
O'Sullivan Holdings was purchased by Bruckmann, Rosser Sherrill & Co. II, L.P. ("BRS"), 34 members of our
management and an affiliate of a former director. O'Sullivan Holdings is a holding company with no material
operations. O'Sullivan Industries owns all of the capital stock of O'Sullivan Industries - Virginia, Inc., a Virginia
corporation, and O'Sullivan Furniture Factory Outlet, Inc., a Missouri corporation.

We engage in one industry segment: the design, manufacture and sale of ready-to-assemble, or RTA,
furniture. For information regarding our sales, operating profits and assets, see the financial statements included in
Part II, Item 8 of this report, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

New Management Team. In May 2004, we announced the hiring of Robert S. Parker as our President and
Chief Executive Officer, followed in succeeding months by the arrival of Rick A. Walters as Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer and Michael D. Orr as Executive Vice President-Operations. Each of these
gentlemen came from the Sharpie/Calphalon Group of Newell Rubbermaid Corporation. They are in the process of
evaluating our strategies and core competencies to determine how best to improve our sales, reduce our costs and
increase our operating income. Strategic initiatives that are currently underway at O'Sullivan Industries include:

o creating a new sales and marketing organization that will focus on targeted market segments and
the key customers in those segments;

o expanding new product initiatives that already include successful launches of our Coleman(R)
garage and business storage assortment and Intelligent Designs(R)commercial office furniture;

o building a more capable and far reaching organization to source parts and products from outside
the United States;

o focusing on our factories to improve their productivity and better control their costs;

o improving working capital management and cash flow through better planning, reduction in
required inventory levels, improving vendor and customer terms, etc.; and

o moving our corporate headquarters from Lamar, Missouri to the Atlanta, Georgia area, which will
make us more accessible to our valued customers and expand our management recruiting
opportunities.

We have begun to add seasoned professionals to our sales and marketing organization and to implement a
disciplined new product development program that is designed to be consumer focused and deliver faster moving
items with higher gross margins.

Industry Overview

The RTA furniture industry is a segment of the broader residential wood furniture industry with wholesale
sales of approximately $19 billion per year. According to HomeWorld Business, RTA furniture retail sales totaled
approximately $3.0 billion in calendar 2003, down about 9% from HomeWorld Business' estimate for calendar 2002.
RTA furniture encompasses a broad range of furniture products including desks, computer workcenters,
entertainment centers, television and audio stands, bookcases, cabinets and living room and bedroom furniture. RTA
furniture is sold through a broad array of distribution channels, including discount mass merchants, office
superstores, consumer electronic superstores, home centers, and national department stores. The majority of RTA
furniture sales are made through discount mass merchants such as Wal-Mart, Target and Kmart and office
superstores such as Office Depot, OfficeMax and Staples. Although a large number of companies manufacture RTA
furniture, the RTA furniture industry is relatively concentrated with the top five North American RTA furniture
manufacturers accounting for an estimated 70% of the United States RTA furniture retail sales in calendar 2003.

The RTA furniture industry experienced significant growth in the mid to late 1990s. According to
HomeWorld Business, the compounded annual growth rate of RTA furniture retail sales from 1995 to 2000 was
approximately 8%. Since 2000, RTA furniture industry sales have declined about 17%, largely as a result of the
closure of several significant retailers, a reduction in the demand for home office furniture due to a slowdown in
demand for personal computers and increased competition from imported RTA and other furniture products. In
response to these industry challenges, we have recently expanded into new furniture categories, such as home storage
and organization. The home storage and organization market includes product offerings such as closet shelving
systems, garage storage and workshop storage. Annual retail sales for the home storage and organization market
were estimated at approximately $6.4 billion for calendar 2003. We have also increased our presence in the
commercial office furniture industry. The commercial office furniture market includes furniture used in commercial
offices such as panel and modular systems, seating, storage units, files, tables and desks in wood and other materials,
such as steel and glass. The commercial office furniture market is significantly larger than the RTA furniture market
with wholesale sales estimated at approximately $8.5 billion in calendar 2003.

Product Overview

We group our product offerings into four distinct categories:

o Home office and small office furniture, including desks, computer work centers, bookcases and filing
cabinets;

o Home furnishings, including entertainment furniture, home entertainment centers, home theater systems,
television and audio stands, audio and video storage units, home decor furniture, including microwave
oven carts, pantries, living room and recreation room furniture and bedroom pieces, including dressers,
night stands and wardrobes;

o Commercial office furniture, including desks, computer work centers, bookcases and filing cabinets; and

o Storage furniture, including storage cabinets and workbenches for the home, garage and office.

Customers

RTA furniture is sold through a broad array of distribution channels, including discount mass merchants,
office superstores, consumer electronic superstores, home centers and national department stores. The majority of
RTA furniture sales are made through discount mass merchants such as Wal-Mart, Target and Kmart and office
superstores such as OfficeMax, Office Depot and Staples.

We have longstanding relationships with key customers in both of these two major distribution channels. In
fiscal 2004, sales to OfficeMax accounted for about 19% of our gross sales, Wal-Mart accounted for about 16% of
our gross sales, Office Depot accounted for about 13% of our gross sales and Staples accounted for about 10% of
our gross sales. Similar to other large RTA furniture manufacturers, our sales are concentrated.

Sales and Marketing

We manage our customer relationships both through our in-house sales force and a network of independent
sales representatives. In general, key accounts such as OfficeMax, Office Depot and Wal-Mart are called on by our
sales force. Smaller customers are serviced mainly by independent sales representatives, whose activities are
reviewed by our in-house sales force. As noted above, we are in the process of creating a new sales and marketing
organization that will focus on targeted market segments and the key customers in those segments.

Our marketing personnel work closely with consumers in order to identify their unmet product needs. We
then design products to meet those needs. These products are taken to retail customers that serve the demographics
of the consumer in question

Our products are promoted by our customers to the public under cooperative and other advertising
agreements. Under these agreements, our products are advertised in newspaper inserts and catalogs, among other
publications. We generally cover a portion of the customer's advertising expenses if the customer places approved
advertisements mentioning us and our products by name. We may also provide support to some customers'
advertising programs. We generally do not advertise directly to consumers. We do, however, advertise in trade
publications to promote O'Sullivan as a producer of high quality RTA furniture.

We provide extensive service support to our customers. This support includes designing and installing in-
store displays, educating retailers' sales forces and maintaining floor displays. We have been recognized for our
commitment to our retail partners and have earned several awards in recent years.

We participate in the furniture trade shows held in High Point, North Carolina in April and October of each
year. The High Point show is a major international trade show in the furniture industry. It attracts buyers from the
U.S. and abroad. We also maintain other domestic and international showrooms to market our product lines.

We sell our products throughout the U.S. and in Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Australia and other
countries. Export sales were $24.1 million, $19.8 million and $19.1 million in fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002,
respectively. In fiscal 2004, sales increased, primarily due to increased sales in the Canadian market. In fiscal 2003,
sales increased, primarily due to increased sales in Australia. In fiscal 2002, sales decreases in Central and South
America, the Middle East and the United Kingdom were partially offset by sales increases in the Canadian market.

Manufacturing

Our production of RTA furniture begins with laminating paper or other materials to particleboard and
fiberboard. Only after laminating the board do we cut the board into parts. Each part for a unit is processed over the
machines necessary to provide the desired size and shape, edge treatment, holes for assembly, decorative embossing
and other features. Each part is processed only over the machines needed for its completion; therefore, we do not
process all parts for a particular product on a single production line. We then assemble outsourced items such as
screws, dowels, glass and other pieces as necessary. Finally, all of the parts and outsourced items needed for a unit
are placed in a carton with assembly instructions and sealed.

We operate two modern manufacturing facilities, in Lamar, Missouri and South Boston, Virginia. In total,
these facilities have approximately 1.8 million square feet of space.

o Lamar, Missouri: Opened in 1965, this facility has approximately 1.1 million square feet of space. It is
our larger facility and has the capability to produce our entire product offering.

o South Boston, Virginia: Opened in 1989, our South Boston facility has been expanded to approximately
675,000 square feet, including an expansion of approximately 200,000 square feet completed in 2001.
The South Boston facility has the capability to manufacture most of our products.

Product Design and Development

We believe we are an industry leader in product quality and innovation. We are committed to the
continuing development of unique furniture that meets consumer needs. With over 50% of our sales to the home
office and small office market, we believe we are recognized as one of the industry's premier producers of
contemporary home office and small office RTA furniture. In the past three years, we introduced an average of over
150 products per year. In the RTA furniture industry, a new product can be a variation in color or styling of an
existing product. By providing a continuous supply of new product introductions, we endeavor to drive demand for
our products, which we believe will help us to maintain our profit margins.

We maintain an in-house product design staff that collaborates with our marketing personnel to develop
new products based on consumer needs and demographic and other consumer information. We also work with
outside designers. The product design professionals work with our marketing and engineering areas to produce full-
scale prototypes. The engineering staff uses computer-aided design software, which provides three-dimensional
graphics capabilities. The software allows a design engineer to accelerate the time-to-completion for a new product
design. This allows us to reduce the time for newly conceived products to reach the market. We then show our
prototypes to our consumers and customers to gauge interest. We also respond to suggestions from our retail
customers regarding potential new products. If initial indications of product appeal are favorable, we usually can
commence production within twelve weeks. We spent approximately $1.5 million, $1.3 million and $1.1 million on
product design and development in fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Raw Materials

The materials used in our manufacturing operations include particleboard, fiberboard, coated paper or other
laminates, glass, furniture hardware and packaging materials. Our largest raw material cost is particleboard. We
purchase all of our raw material needs from outside suppliers. We buy our particleboard and fiberboard at market-
based prices from several independent wood product suppliers. We purchase other raw materials from a limited
number of vendors. These raw materials are generally available from other suppliers, although the cost from
alternate suppliers might be higher.

As is customary in the RTA furniture industry, we do not maintain long-term supply contracts with our
suppliers. We do, however, have long standing relationships with all of our key suppliers and encourage supplier
partnerships. Our supplier base is sufficiently diversified so that the loss of any one supplier in any given commodity
should not have a material adverse effect on our operations. We have never been unable to secure needed raw
materials. However, there could be adverse effects on our operations and financial condition if we are unable to
secure necessary raw materials like particleboard and fiberboard.

Because we purchase all of our raw materials from outside suppliers, we are subject to changes in the prices
charged by our suppliers. Our two largest raw material costs are particleboard and fiberboard. Industry pricing for
particleboard was flat to slightly lower in fiscal 2002 and the first half of fiscal 2003. We saw small increases in
particleboard pricing in the second half of fiscal 2003. In fiscal 2004, however, industry pricing for particleboard
increased 40% to 50%, and industry prices for fiberboard increased about 30%.

In reaction to these increases, we asked our retailer customers for increases in our sales prices for our
products. We were generally successful in obtaining price increases to cover part of the particleboard price increases
we suffered in fiscal 2004. We rarely ask for or receive price increases from our customers unless large price
increases for our raw materials occur. Normally, as we introduce new models, our pricing for the model reflects our
current costs.

We cannot assure you that raw material prices will not increase in the future. If the demand for
particleboard increases, prices may rise further in fiscal 2005. See "Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-
Looking Information and Risk Factors--Our operating income would be reduced if the prices our suppliers charge us
for raw materials increase."

Competition

The residential furniture market is highly competitive and includes a large number of both domestic and
foreign manufacturers. Our competitors include manufacturers of both RTA and assembled furniture. Although a
large number of companies manufacture RTA furniture, the top five North American RTA furniture manufacturers
accounted for an estimated 70% of the United States RTA furniture retail sales in calendar 2003. Our top four
competitors are Sauder Woodworking, Inc., Bush Industries, Inc., Dorel Industries, Inc. and Creative Interiors.
Some of our competitors have greater sales volume and financial resources than we do. RTA furniture
manufacturers compete on the basis of price, style, functionality, quality and customer support.

In recent years, sales of imported RTA furniture have been increasing in the U.S. We anticipate that we
will continue to compete with imports in the U.S. We are reacting to this new competition by emphasizing our
design capabilities, our quality and our ability to deliver products from the factory more quickly and at competitive
prices. We have also begun to source the manufacture of certain products from other countries. As we design new
products, we will decide whether to manufacture the product ourselves or source the product from domestic or
international third parties.

Several manufacturers, including O'Sullivan, have excess manufacturing capacity due to the current decline
in sales in the RTA furniture market and increasing imports. This excess capacity is causing increased price
competition.

Patents and Trademarks

We have a U.S. trademark registration and international trademark registrations or applications for the use
of the O'Sullivan(R)name on furniture. We believe that the O'Sullivan name and trademark are well-recognized and
associated with high quality by both our customers and consumers and are important to the success of our business.
Our products are sold under a variety of trademarks in addition to O'Sullivan. Some of these names are registered
trademarks. We do not believe that the other trademarks we own enjoy the same level of recognition as the
O'Sullivan trademark. We also do not believe that the loss of the right to use any one of these other trademarks
would be material to our business.

We hold a number of patents and licenses, including the license of the Coleman(R)brand indoor storage
products for garage, utility, and workshop. We do not consider any one of these patents and licenses to be material
to our business.

Shipping

We offer customers the choice of paying their own freight costs or having us absorb freight costs. If we
absorb the freight costs, our product prices are adjusted accordingly. When we pay freight costs, we use independent
trucking companies with whom we have negotiated competitive transportation rates.

Backlog

Our business is characterized by short-term order and shipment schedules of generally less than two weeks.
Accordingly, we do not consider backlog at any given date to be indicative of future sales.

Seasonality

We generally experience a somewhat higher level of sales in the second and third quarters of our fiscal year
in anticipation of and following the holiday selling seasons.

Insurance

We maintain liability insurance at levels that we believe are adequate for our needs. We believe these
levels are comparable to the level of insurance maintained by other companies in the furniture manufacturing
business.

Employees

As of June 30, 2004, we had approximately 1,650 employees. About 85% percent of these employees are
located in Lamar, Missouri. None of our employees are represented by a labor union. We believe that we have good
relations with our employees.

Environmental and Safety Regulations

Our operations and current and/or former facilities are subject to extensive federal, state and local
environmental, health and safety laws, regulations and ordinances. Some of our operations require permits. These
permits are subject to revocation, modification and renewal by governmental authorities.

Governmental authorities have the power to enforce compliance with their regulations. Violators are
subject to civil, and in some cases criminal, sanctions. Although compliance with these regulations imposes burdens
and risks on us, in the past, they have not had a significant effect on our results of operations, capital expenditures or
competitive position. In fiscal 2001, we received a Title V operating permit for our facility in Lamar, Missouri. The
permit imposes additional monitoring restrictions on our operations, but has not required us to modify our

operations. There can be no assurance that future changes in laws and or regulations will not require us to make
significant additional expenditures to ensure compliance in the future.

Our manufacturing process creates by-products, including sawdust and particleboard flats. At the South
Boston facility, this material is given to a recycler or disposed of in landfills. At the Lamar facility, the material has
been sent to recyclers and off-site disposal sites. In fiscal 2004, our disposal costs declined by approximately 11%
as we reduced our operating levels.

Our manufacturing facilities ship waste products to various disposal sites. If our waste products include
hazardous substances and are discharged into the environment, we are potentially liable under various laws. These
laws may impose liability for releases of hazardous substances into the environment. These laws may also provide
for liability for damage to natural resources. One example of these laws is the federal Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act. Generally, liability under this act is joint and several and is determined
without regard to fault. In addition, similar state or other laws and regulations may impose the same or even broader
liability for releases of hazardous substances.

We have been designated as a potentially responsible party under the Arkansas Remedial Action Trust Fund
Act for the cost of cleaning up a disposal site in Diaz, Arkansas. We entered into a de minimis buyout agreement
with some of the other potentially responsible parties. We have contributed $2,000 to date toward cleanup costs
under this agreement. The agreement subjects potentially responsible parties to an equitable share of any additional
contributions if cleanup costs exceed $9 million. In this event, we would be liable for our share of the excess.
Cleanup expenses have approached $9 million. The state has approved a plan providing that groundwater at the site
be monitored. No further remediation activity is necessary unless further problems are discovered. The monitoring
activities, which are underway, should not require the potentially responsible parties to make additional payments.
Assuming no further problems are discovered, we believe that the amounts we may be required to pay in the future,
if any, relating to this site will be immaterial.

Our operations also are governed by laws and regulations relating to workplace safety and worker health,
principally the Occupational Safety and Health Act and related regulations. Additionally, some of our products must
comply with the requirements and standards of the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission. We believe that we
are in substantial compliance with all of these laws and regulations.

Item 2. Properties.

O'Sullivan owns two manufacturing, warehouse and distribution facilities. The Lamar, Missouri facility,
consists of approximately 1.1 million square feet. The South Boston, Virginia facility has approximately 675,000
square feet. These properties are subject to liens in favor of the holders of our credit agreement.

We purchased additional land adjacent to our Lamar facility in July 2002. We have some excess land at
South Boston which may be used for expansion.

We lease space for showrooms in High Point, North Carolina and in other locations in the United States.
We also lease warehouse space in Lamar and Neosho, Missouri. We lease space for factory outlet stores in
Springfield and Joplin, Missouri and Fayetteville, Arkansas to sell close-out and excess inventory.

Our Canadian operations are in a leased facility in Markham, Ontario. O'Sullivan's United Kingdom
operations are in a leased facility in Oxfordshire. Our Australian operations are located in leased facilities near
Melbourne.

We consider our owned and leased facilities to be adequate for the needs of O'Sullivan and believe that all
of our owned and leased properties are well maintained and in good condition.

Item 3. 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 aggregated $3.7 million. We settled
this suit in May 2004. The resolution of the litigation did not materially affect our results of operations.

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 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 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 have denied we received any
preferential payments. We are contesting this lawsuit vigorously.

Other Litigation and Claims. In addition, we are a party to various pending legal actions arising in the
ordinary operation of our business. These include product liability claims, employment disputes and general
business disputes. We believe that these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our operating results,
liquidity and financial condition.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders of O'Sullivan during the quarter ended June 30,
2004.

PART II

Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of
Equity Securities.

Our common stock is owned by O'Sullivan Holdings, so there is no established public market for our
common equity.

We currently intend to retain all earnings to finance the development of our operations and to repay our
indebtedness. Our credit agreements effectively prohibit us from paying dividends on our common stock. We do
not anticipate paying cash dividends on our shares of common stock in the near future. Our future dividend policy
will be determined by our Board of Directors on the basis of various factors, including but not limited to our results
of operations, financial condition, business opportunities and capital requirements. The payment of dividends is
subject to the requirements of Delaware law, as well as restrictive financial covenants in our debt agreements.

Item 6. Selected Consolidated Historical Financial Information.

The selected historical consolidated results of operations for the five years ended June 30, 2004 and the
balance sheet data as of June 30, 2004, 2003, 2002 and 2001 are derived from O'Sullivan's audited financial
statements. The selected historical balance sheet data as of June 30, 2000 are from O'Sullivan's accounting records.
This selected consolidated financial data should be read in conjunction with Item 7, "Management's Discussion and

Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and Item 8, "Consolidated Financial Statements and
Related Notes," in Part II of this report.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the more detailed information in the historical
financial statements, including the related notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this report.

Overview.

Recent Trends

Our net sales declined 7.0% in fiscal year 2004 from $289.2 million to $268.8 million. This decline
continued the net sales decreases experienced by us in fiscal 2001, 2002 and 2003. Our net sales declined for several
reasons:

o a decline in sales of RTA furniture;

o increasing competition from imported furniture, particularly from China;

o increased competition from domestic competition due to excess capacity in the RTA furniture industry and
increasing concentration of retail stores;

o the decline in price of the average unit sold, reflecting increased competition and a trend toward more
promotional merchandise and increased competition;

o market share losses at Best Buy and a large mass merchant; and

o liquidations and bankruptcies by a number of customers, including Montgomery Ward, Ames and Kmart.

In addition to declining net sales, the market conditions described above, coupled with price increases in
particleboard and fiberboard, also reduced our margins and results of operations in fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2004.
Operating income declined to $9.4 million in fiscal 2004 from $26.7 million in fiscal 2003 and $40.1 million in
fiscal 2002. In response to the industry trends, we have taken steps to reduce costs, increase selling prices and
mitigate the impact of the current market challenges. We may take similar actions in the future, which may result in
asset write-downs or impairment or other charges. See "--Market Risk and Inflation" for more information
regarding our raw material price increases.

While we have confidence in the long-term future of the RTA furniture industry, we expect these conditions
to continue into fiscal 2005.

New Management Team

In May 2004, we announced the hiring of Robert S. Parker as our President and Chief Executive Officer,
followed in succeeding months by the arrival of Rick A. Walters as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer and Michael D. Orr as Executive Vice President-Operations. Each of these gentlemen came from the
Sharpie/Calphalon Group of Newell Rubbermaid Corporation. They are in the process of evaluating our strategies
and core competencies to determine how best to improve our sales, reduce our costs and increase our operating
income. Strategic initiatives that are currently underway at O'Sullivan Industries include:

o creating a new sales and marketing organization that will focus on targeted market segments and
the key customers in those segments;

o expanding new product initiatives that already include successful launches of our Coleman(R)
garage and business storage assortment and Intelligent Designs(R)commercial office furniture;

o building a more capable and far reaching organization to source parts and products from outside
the United States;

o focusing on our factories to improve their productivity and better control their costs;

o improving working capital management and cash flow through better planning, reduction in
required inventory levels, improving vendor and customer terms, etc.; and

o moving our corporate headquarters from Lamar, Missouri to the Atlanta, Georgia area, which will
make us more accessible to our valued customers and expand our management recruiting
opportunities.

Customer Bankruptcies

On September 24, 2002, Montgomery Ward, LLC filed suit against us 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 us by Montgomery
Ward, together with interest. The alleged payments aggregated $3.7 million. We settled this suit in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2004. The settlement did not have an adverse impact on our results of operations.

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 us 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 have 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 closed all of its stores. In January
2004 we received notice of a November 2003 suit against us 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 us by House2Home together with

interest. The alleged payments aggregate $700,000. We have denied we received any preferential payments. We
are contesting this lawsuit vigorously.

Tax Sharing Agreement with RadioShack

In 1994, RadioShack, then Tandy Corporation, completed an initial public offering of O'Sullivan Holdings.
In connection with the offering, O'Sullivan Holdings entered into a tax sharing and tax benefit reimbursement
agreement with RadioShack. RadioShack and O'Sullivan Holdings 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, O'Sullivan Holdings is
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 and further increase the tax basis of our assets from the 1994 initial public offering when
payments are made to RadioShack. Accordingly, we recorded the deferred tax asset created by the step-up in tax
basis and the additional tax basis from the probable future payments by O'Sullivan Holdings, to RadioShack. The
deferred tax asset had a balance of $69.4 million and $72.1 million at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Additionally, we recorded a payable to parent equal to O'Sullivan Holdings' remaining maximum obligation
to RadioShack pursuant to the tax sharing agreement. The remaining maximum obligation to RadioShack was $70.1
million and $72.1 million at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. O'Sullivan Holdings' future payments to
RadioShack are contingent upon achieving consolidated taxable income calculated on the basis of the tax sharing
agreement.

During the year ended June 30, 2002, we recorded a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax
assets because we were unable to determine, based on objective evidence, that it was more likely than not that we
would be able to utilize our net operating losses prior to their expiration. 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.

See "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements and Risk Factors."

Results of Operations.

The following table sets forth the approximate percentage of items included in the Consolidated Statement
of Operations relative to net sales for the three-year period ended June 30, 2004:

Year Ended June 30, 2004 Compared to the Year Ended June 30, 2003.

Net Sales. Net sales consists of our gross sales less returns, allowances, rebates and certain advertising
allowances given to customers. Net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 decreased by $20.3 million, or
7.0%, to $268.8 million from $289.2 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. Net sales were down in every
major channel with substantially all of the decline due to lower unit prices. Net sales declined principally because of
increased competition from North American manufacturers and Asian and South American manufacturers with
substantially lower labor costs and because of a trend toward smaller, more promotional products with lower prices.
Finally, according to HomeWorld Business, the size of the RTA furniture market declined approximately 9% in
calendar 2003.

Gross Profit. For fiscal 2004, gross profit declined to $54.8 million, or 20.4% of net sales, from
$74.2 million, or 25.7% of net sales, during fiscal 2003. Gross profit declined for fiscal 2004 due to increases in raw
material prices, lower sales levels, lower production levels, changes in our customer mix and increased advertising
allowances.

Selling, Marketing and Administrative Expenses. Selling costs include the salaries and expenses of our
inside sales force, commissions to outside sales representatives, customer service expenses, freight out expense, bad
debt expense and rent expense for showrooms. Marketing costs include costs of product research and development,
catalogs, trade show costs and store display costs. Administrative costs include salaries for our corporate staff,
incentive compensation, benefits and professional fees.

Selling, marketing and administrative expenses increased to $45.9 million, or 17.1% of net sales, for fiscal
2004 from $45.5 million, or 15.7% of net sales, for fiscal 2003 due to increased royalty payments, freight out
expense and professional fees, partially offset by lower sales commissions, bad debt expense, advertising allowances,
and benefit plan expense. Royalty expenses increased because of increased sales of products subject to royalties.
Freight out expense increased because of increased sales where we shipped product directly to the end consumer.
Commission expenses declined because of lower net sales levels and customer mix. Legal and professional fees
increased due to higher recruiting and legal fees in connection with the hiring of our new executives and increased
use of consultants in connection with our commercial office and storage product initiatives.

Restructuring Charges. A restructuring charge in the amount of $2 million was recorded during fiscal
2003. This charge consisted of severance actions of $1.5 million and an asset impairment charge of $540,000. No
restructuring charges were recorded in fiscal 2004. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, we determined to reduce our
operations at our South Boston, Virginia facility to one shift. As a result, we reduced our workforce by about 200

people in Virginia. We also reduced our corporate staff in Lamar, Missouri by about 50 people, or about 15%. In
connection with these reductions, we incurred severance costs of approximately $1.5 million, which we recorded as a
restructuring charge in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. Substantially all of the severance has been paid by June 30,
2004.

In January 2001, we closed our Cedar City, Utah production facility. Fixed assets with a net book value of
$20.3 million were written down to estimated fair value, less cost to sell, resulting in an impairment charge of
approximately $8.7 million. An additional impairment charge of $540,000 was recognized in fiscal 2003. The
additional charge resulted from subsequent changes in the carrying amount of the assets held for sale due to
unfavorable market conditions. In June 2003, we sold the Cedar City, Utah land and building. We used the net
proceeds of $6.8 million from the sale to reduce indebtedness under our senior credit facility.

Casualty Gain. In November 2003 a fire destroyed certain of our manufacturing equipment. The net
insurance proceeds used to replace the destroyed equipment exceeded the net book value of the destroyed
equipment, resulting in a gain. Accordingly, we recorded a net gain of $490,000 in connection with the casualty. All
proceeds from the insurance company have been received.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization represents the allocation of costs of long-
lived assets such as buildings and equipment. Depreciation is included in cost of goods sold and selling, marketing
and administrative expenses in our statements of operations. Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased to
$12.8 million for fiscal 2004 compared to $13.6 million for fiscal 2003. Capital additions in fiscal 2004 and 2003
were $2.5 million and $5.1 million, respectively. Fiscal 2004 and 2003 capital expenditures were primarily for
normal replacements of equipment.

Operating Income. Operating income decreased $17.3 million to $9.4 million for fiscal 2004 from
$26.7 million in fiscal 2003. Lower net sales and operating levels, as well as increases in raw material costs,
contributed to lower operating income in fiscal 2004. These additional costs were offset to a small extent by the
casualty gain.

Net Interest Expense. Net interest expense is the cost for borrowed money. It represents interest paid to, or
accrued for future payment to, lenders and the amortization of debt issuance costs, debt discount and loan fees.
Changes in the value of our interest rate collar which expired in March 2003 were also reflected in interest expense.
Net interest expense increased to $26.5 million in fiscal 2004 from $21.5 million in fiscal 2003. Interest expense
increased principally due to the higher interest rate on our senior secured notes issued in September 2003 as
compared to the variable rates under our former senior credit facility and the expiration of our interest rate collar, as
changes in the value of the interest rate collar reduced interest expense by $2.1 million in fiscal 2003. The following
table describes the components of net interest expense.

========== ==========

Other Financing Income (Expense). We recorded a gain of $616,000 in connection with the October 2003
repurchase of $4.0 million of our senior subordinated notes, net of original issue discount and capitalized loan fees.
This gain was offset by the write-off of capitalized loan fees for our old senior credit facility of about $3.3 million in
the September 2003 quarter as a result of the refinancing of this debt. The net amount of $2.7 million is reflected as
other financing expense on our statement of operations for fiscal 2004.

Pre-Tax Income (Loss). Our pre-tax loss in fiscal 2004 was $19.8 million compared to pre-tax income of
$4.7 million in fiscal 2003. The decline was due principally to our lower net sales and operating levels, higher raw
material costs and increased interest expense.

Income Tax Provision. We recorded no tax expense in fiscal 2004 or fiscal 2003 because of the current tax
benefits associated with the Section 338 election (See "Tax Sharing Agreement with RadioShack") and because of
the valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets.

Net Income (Loss). Our net loss was $19.8 million in fiscal 2004 compared to net income of $4.7 million in
fiscal 2003 due principally to our lower net sales and operating levels, higher raw material costs and increased
interest expense.

Year Ended June 30, 2003 Compared to the Year Ended June 30, 2002.

Net Sales. Net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 decreased by $59.9 million, or 17.2%, to
$289.2 million from $349.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002. Net sales were down in every major
channel with substantially all of the decline due to lower unit sales. Net sales declined principally because of U.S.
economic conditions, increased competition from North American manufacturers and increased competition from
Asian and South American manufacturers with substantially lower labor costs.

Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased to $74.2 million, or 25.7% of net sales, for fiscal 2003, from $94.4
million, or 27.1% of net sales, for fiscal 2002. Fiscal 2003 gross profit decreased primarily because of lower sales
and operating levels, partially offset by lower material costs, primarily for particleboard. Lower operating levels hurt
our gross profit and our gross profit as a percentage of net sales because our fixed manufacturing overhead was
allocated over a smaller number of units produced.

Selling, Marketing and Administrative Expenses. Selling, marketing and administrative expenses decreased
to $45.5 million, or 15.7% of net sales, for fiscal 2003 from $54.3 million, or 15.6% of net sales, for fiscal 2002 due
to lower freight out expense, incentive compensation, professional fees and bad debt expense, partially offset by
increased marketing expense. Profit sharing and incentive compensation declined because of lower net sales and
operating income compared to fiscal 2002. Freight out expense declined because of lower net sales and a change in
the selling terms with a major customer. Commission expenses declined because of lower net sales levels. Legal
fees and bad debt expense were higher in fiscal 2002 because of the RadioShack arbitration and Kmart bankruptcy,
respectively. Marketing costs increased slightly due to store display costs and other promotional costs.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased to $13.6 million for
fiscal 2003 compared to $14.5 million for fiscal 2002. Capital additions in fiscal 2003 and 2002 were $5.1 million
and $8.6 million, respectively. Fiscal 2003 capital expenditures were primarily for normal replacements of
equipment.

Operating Income. Operating income decreased $13.4 million to $26.7 million for fiscal 2003 from
$40.1 million in fiscal 2002. Lower net sales and operating levels, as well as the restructuring charges, were partially
offset by lower material costs and lower selling, marketing and administrative expenses in fiscal 2003.

Net Interest Expense. Net interest expense decreased to $21.5 million in fiscal 2003 from $25.5 million in
fiscal 2002. Interest expense decreased due to the change in fair value of our interest rate collar, prior to its
expiration on March 31, 2003, as well as our repayment of debt and lower variable interest rates on a portion of our
debt. The following table describes the components of net interest expense.

========== ==========

Pre-Tax Income. Pre-tax income declined $9.7 million from $14.4 million in fiscal 2002 to $4.7 million in
fiscal 2003. The decline was due principally to our lower net sales and operating levels, partially offset by lower raw
material costs, lower selling, marketing and administrative expenses and a decrease in interest expense.

Income Tax Provision. We recorded no tax expense in fiscal 2003 because of the current tax benefits
associated with the Section 338 election (See "Tax Sharing Agreement with RadioShack") and because of the
valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets. As described in "Overview--Tax Sharing Agreement with
RadioShack", we recorded a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets in fiscal 2002 resulting in
increased income tax expense.

Net Income (Loss). Our net income was $4.7 million in fiscal 2003 compared to a net loss of $84.3 million
in fiscal 2002 due to the fiscal 2002 valuation allowance, partially offset by our lower net sales and operating levels.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.

We are highly leveraged and have a stockholder's deficit of approximately $112.1 million at June 30, 2004.
Our liquidity requirements will be to pay our debt, including interest expense under our credit agreement and notes,
to provide funds to O'Sullivan Holdings to satisfy its obligations to RadioShack under the tax sharing agreement and
to provide for working capital and capital expenditures. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from
operating activities and borrowings under our credit agreement, which is discussed below. Decreased demand for
our products could further decrease our cash flows from operating activities and the availability of borrowings under
our credit agreement.

Working Capital. As of June 30, 2004, cash and cash equivalents totaled $5.3 million. Net working
capital was $49.7 million at June 30, 2004 compared to $46.4 million at June 30, 2003. The $3.3 million increase in
net working capital resulted primarily from the increased investments in inventories and decreases in accounts
payable and the current portions of long-term debt and the payable to RadioShack, partially offset by reductions to
cash and accounts receivable and an increase in accrued liabilities.

Operating Activities. Net cash used by operating activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 was
$35,000 compared to net cash provided of $13.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. Cash flows from
operating activities decreased year-over-year for the following reasons:

o Our net loss in fiscal 2004 was $19.8 million compared to net income of $4.7 million in fiscal 2003.

o Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased $3.2 million in fiscal 2004 compared to a decrease of
$9.0 million in fiscal 2003. This change is due primarily to higher accrued interest, as we now pay interest
on our senior secured notes semi-annually in July as compared to more frequent payments under our prior
senior credit facility.

o Accounts receivable decreased $2.5 million in fiscal 2004 compared to a decrease of $11.3 million in fiscal
2003. The change was due primarily to increased sales in the latter portion of the fourth quarter of fiscal
2004 compared to a decline in sales for the same period of fiscal 2003.

o We provided O'Sullivan Holdings $2.0 million in fiscal 2004 to enable it to satisfy its obligations under the
tax sharing agreement, decreasing our liability by that amount. In fiscal 2003, we provided O'Sullivan
Holdings $9.3 million for this purpose.

o Inventories increased $2.6 million in fiscal 2004, but were essentially flat in fiscal 2003.

Investing Activities. We invested $2.5 million for capital expenditures for fiscal 2004 compared to
$5.1 million for the prior year. We also sold our Cedar City, Utah manufacturing facility for net proceeds of $6.8
million in fiscal 2003. Our ability to make future capital expenditures is limited to $10.0 million per year, with
certain carryforwards, under the indenture governing our senior secured notes.

Financing Activities. Net cash flows used for investing activities decreased $23.0 million in fiscal 2004
from fiscal 2003 primarily because we repaid $24.3 million of debt in fiscal 2003. In fiscal 2004, we replaced our
senior credit facility with $100.0 million principal amount of senior secured notes. Our consolidated principal
amount of indebtedness at June 30, 2004 was $206.0 million, consisting of the following.

o a credit agreement providing for asset-based revolving credit of up to $40.0 million. The borrowing base at
June 30, 2004 was approximately $26.9 million. No borrowings were outstanding under the credit
agreement at June 30, 2004, although letters of credit aggregating approximately $14.0 million were
outstanding under the credit agreement. Outstanding letters of credit reduce the borrowing base.

o $100.0 million in 10.63% senior secured notes due 2008. We sold the notes in September 2003 at 95% of
their par value, yielding $95.0 million in proceeds before issuance expenses of approximately $3.8 million.
The proceeds of the senior secured notes were used to repay $88.7 million outstanding under our senior
credit facility and to pay issuance expenses.

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. We issued $100.0 million of these notes at a price of 98.046%, providing $98.0 million in
cash proceeds before expenses related to the issuance. We repurchased $4.0 million of the notes during
fiscal 2004 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.

The reconciliation of consolidated principal amount of indebtedness to recorded book value as of June 30, 2004, is
as follows:

Refinancing

On September 29, 2003, we refinanced our 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 at a price of 95%, providing $95.0 million in cash proceeds before about $3.8 million of expenses
related to the issuance. 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 our
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. Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, we filed a registration
statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission 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, in December 2003. The registration
statement became effective on January 8, 2004, and the exchange offer closed on February 25, 2004.

The 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 were utilizing approximately $15.2 million as of September 27, 2004. 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 O'Sullivan Industries and 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 June 30, 2004, although letters of credit aggregating approximately $14.0 million were outstanding
under the credit agreement.

In connection with the execution and delivery of the credit agreement, we entered into a lockbox agreement
with the agent under the agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, we granted the agent a security interest in the cash
deposited, or received in the future, in the account. Under the terms of the lockbox agreement, the agent has control
over the accounts and amounts deposited therein. Because of the nature of the lockbox arrangement and other
provisions of the credit agreement, any borrowings under the credit agreement would be classified as short term even
though the term of the credit agreement does not expire until September 2008.

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 loan issuance costs related to the

facility in the first quarter of fiscal 2004. During fiscal 2004 we repurchased $4.0 million principal amount of our
senior subordinated notes.

As noted above, O'Sullivan Holdings is a guarantor of our 10.63% senior secured notes due 2008.
O'Sullivan Holdings files quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual reports on Form 10-K with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. These reports are available from the SEC's web site at http://www.sec.gov or through our
web site at www.osullivan.com.

Liquidity

We have a stockholders' deficit of approximately $112 million as of June 30, 2004, incurred a net loss of
$19.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2004 and expect to incur a net loss during the year ending June 30, 2005.
Our net sales have declined each of the past four years. Our sales and operating results during 2004 were impacted
by a decline in the RTA furniture market, increased competition from foreign and domestic competitors, a product
mix reflecting more promotional merchandise, and higher raw material costs, principally particleboard and
fiberboard.

We have recently added several new key members to our executive management team. The new executive
management team is in the process of evaluating our strategies and core competencies to determine the most
effective way to improve sales, reduce costs and increase operating income. As noted above, we refinanced our
previous senior credit facility on September 29, 2003. As a result of the refinancing, we have no principal payments
on debt due until October 2008. In connection with the refinancing, we entered into the five year $40 million
revolving credit agreement discussed above. Borrowing availability under the credit agreement is subject to, among
other things, a borrowing base determined by qualified inventory and accounts receivable levels, and is further
reduced by outstanding letters of credit. We expect borrowing availability under the credit agreement to
approximate $10 million to $15 million, after the effect of outstanding letters of credit, from October 2004 through
the end of fiscal 2005. Decreased demand for our products, as well as efforts to reduce working capital
requirements, could negatively affect levels of inventory and accounts receivable and the availability of borrowings
under the credit agreement.

Our management believes that cash on hand, net cash to be generated from operations, and forecasted
availability under the credit agreement will be sufficient to meet our cash needs for the next twelve months. We
were in compliance with our debt covenants at June 30, 2004 and expect to remain in compliance with these
covenants during the next twelve months. In the event that revenues are significantly below fiscal year 2005
forecasted revenues, we believe we have the ability to reduce or delay discretionary expenditures, including capital
purchases, and further reduce operating costs and expenses so that we will have sufficient cash resources through the
next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to adjust our costs in sufficient time to
respond to revenue shortfalls, should that occur.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements.

At June 30, 2004, 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.

recapitalization and merger. The amounts in the table above represent the maximum amounts payable by
O'Sullivan Holdings to RadioShack.

Market Risk and Inflation.

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. 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 June 30, 2004, $10.0 million of our indebtedness 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.

From fiscal 2001 through fiscal 2002, particleboard and fiberboard prices declined, increasing our operating
income in the later portion of the year. We saw small increases in particleboard pricing in the third quarter of fiscal
2003. Prices for fiberboard increased in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, but declined slightly during fiscal 2003.

In fiscal 2004, market prices for particleboard, our largest-cost raw material, increased about 40% to 50%,
depending on thickness and origin. Market prices for fiberboard increased about 30%. We expect additional price
increases in fiscal 2005, 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 fiscal 2004. These price increases will reduce our operating margins and operating
income for fiscal 2005 and perhaps beyond.

We are endeavoring to reduce the impact of the price increases through our productivity programs and by
the eventual inclusion of the higher costs in the pricing of our products. We have negotiated higher prices for our
products with our customers, although these price increases were not fully effective in the fourth quarter of fiscal
2004. In our productivity programs, 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.

We cannot assure you that raw materials prices will not increase further in the future.

Effect of Recent Changes in Accounting Standards.

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 superceded 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. We have determined that we have no SPE's.
We reviewed the applicability of FIN 46(R) to entities other than SPE's and has determined that the adoption of FIN
46(R) did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Seasonality

Historically, we have generally experienced a somewhat higher level of sales in the second and third
quarters of our fiscal year in anticipation of and following the holiday selling season.

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. Changes in our judgments or estimates with respect
to these matters could increase our expenses, affect the timing of recording of sales and affect the recorded value of
our assets.

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 oral, 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, 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.
We determine our allowance by performing a monthly aging analysis of customer receivables. All past
due amounts greater than 60 days and over a specified dollar amount are reviewed individually for
collectibility. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when we determine the receivable
will not be recovered.

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 $3.7 million and $4.3 million at June 30, 2004 and 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 June 30, 2004, 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 is 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. 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 regularly 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.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Information and Risk Factors.

Certain portions of this report, and particularly the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II of this report,
the portions of Item 1 in Part I captioned "History and Overview--New Management Team," "Customers," "Sales
and Marketing," "Product Design and Development," "Raw Materials," "Competition," "Patents and Trademarks"
and "Environmental and Safety Regulations" and Item 3 in Part I contain forward-looking statements. Item 5 in Part
II of this report also contains our expectations regarding the future use of our cash flow. These include information

relating to cost savings, benefits, revenues and estimated sales, litigation, earnings and expenses. These statements
can be identified by the use of future tense or dates or terms such as "believe," "would," "may," "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. 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.

Factors and possible events which could cause results to differ include:

o Our substantial leverage could make it more difficult to pay our debts, divert our cash on hand
for debt payments, limit our ability to borrow funds and increase our vulnerability to general adverse
economic and industry conditions. Any of these consequences of our substantial indebtedness could prevent us
from fulfilling our obligations under our indebtedness because our ability to make required payments on our debt
depends on our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to make these payments. We have a significant principal
amount of indebtedness as shown in the chart below:
June 30, 2004
(dollars in millions)
Total principal amount of indebtedness.........................................................$ 206.0
Principal amount of indebtedness senior to O'Sullivan Industries senior subordinated notes.....$ 110.0
Stockholder's deficit..........................................................................$ 112.1

Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences to holders of our debt or equity. For
example, it could:

o make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our debt, particularly our
subordinated debt;
o increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
o limit our ability to fund future working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate
requirements;
o require a substantial portion of our cash on hand for debt payments;
o limit our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our business and the industry in which we
operate;
o place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that are less leveraged;
o limit our ability to borrow additional funds; and
o expose us to fluctuations in interest rates because some of our debt has a variable rate of interest.

o We may not have sufficient cash from cash flows from operating activities, cash on hand and
available borrowings under our credit agreement to service our indebtedness and to pay amounts to
O'Sullivan Holdings to meet its obligations under the tax sharing agreement. These obligations require a
significant amount of cash. Our business may not generate sufficient cash flows from operating activities. In the
last two fiscal years, our net cash flow from operations has declined from $25.9 million to $1.0 million. Our ability
to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future.
This, to some extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors
that are beyond our control. Lower net sales will generally reduce our cash flow. In addition to servicing the
payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness, O'Sullivan Holdings is obligated to make substantial
payments to RadioShack under the tax sharing agreement. We have provided, and will continue to provide,
O'Sullivan Holdings funds to make payments to RadioShack. The maximum payments by O'Sullivan Holdings to
RadioShack for fiscal 2005, 2006 and 2007 are $20.2 million, $11.3 million and $12.3 million, respectively.

We cannot assure you that our future cash flow will be sufficient to meet our obligations and commitments.
If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operating activities in the future to service our indebtedness
and to meet our other commitments, we will be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as refinancing or
restructuring our indebtedness, selling material assets or operations or seeking to raise additional debt or equity
capital. We cannot assure you that any of these actions could be effected on a timely basis or on satisfactory terms
or at all, or that these actions would enable us to continue to satisfy our capital requirements. In addition, our
existing or future debt agreements and the tax sharing agreement may contain restrictive covenants prohibiting us
from adopting any of these alternatives. Our failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of
default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of all of our debts. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources."

o Failure to comply with any of the restrictions contained in the agreements governing our
indebtedness could result in acceleration of our debt. Were this to occur, we would not have sufficient cash to
pay our accelerated indebtedness. A failure to comply with the restrictions contained in our credit agreement, the
indenture governing our senior secured notes or the indenture governing our senior subordinated notes could lead to
an event of default, which could result in an acceleration of that indebtedness and our other indebtedness by cross-
default provisions. Were this to occur, we would not have sufficient cash to pay our accelerated indebtedness or
other debt.

Due to our lower sales in fiscal 2003, we negotiated amendments to the financial covenants in our previous
senior credit facility. Without the amendments, we may have been in default under the facility.

Our credit agreement, the senior secured notes and the senior subordinated notes restrict our ability, among
others, to:

o incur additional indebtedness;
o pay dividends and make distributions;
o issue common and preferred stock of subsidiaries;
o make certain investments;
o repurchase stock;
o create liens;
o enter into transactions with affiliates;
o enter into sale and leaseback transactions;
o merge or consolidate; and
o transfer and sell assets other than in the ordinary course of business.

An acceleration under our credit agreement, the indenture governing our senior secured notes or the
indenture governing our senior subordinated notes would also constitute an event of default under the
other agreements or indentures and the securities purchase agreement relating to the O'Sullivan Holdings note.

o Reductions in retail sales could reduce our sales, especially if the reductions occur in the
industries that we believe contribute to the growth of the ready-to-assemble furniture industry and could
reduce our ability to pay our debts. Most of our sales are to major retail chains. If there is a reduction in the
overall level of retail sales, our sales could also decline and our ability to pay our debts could be reduced. We
believe that retail sales of ready-to-assemble furniture increased from fiscal 1995 through fiscal 2000 in part because
of an increase in sales of personal computers and home entertainment electronic equipment. The slowdown in
growth of sales of these products hurt our sales since fiscal 2001 through fiscal 2004 and could again lower sales in
the future.

o O'Sullivan Holdings' payments to RadioShack under the tax sharing agreement could reduce
our liquidity. Because of the arbitration panel's ruling and the subsequent settlement agreement in the arbitration
proceedings between RadioShack and O'Sullivan, payments by O'Sullivan Holdings to RadioShack under the tax
sharing agreement have increased substantially. In fiscal 2002 O'Sullivan Holdings paid RadioShack $27.7 million,

representing amounts due from November 1999 through June 2002. In fiscal 2003 and 2004, O'Sullivan Holdings
paid RadioShack $9.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2004, the aggregate amount payable to
RadioShack under the tax sharing agreement was approximately $70.1 million. The maximum amounts due
RadioShack under the tax sharing agreement are $20.2 million, $11.3 million and $12.3 million in fiscal 2005, 2006
and 2007, respectively. The timing and payments by O'Sullivan Holdings to RadioShack are contingent on taxable
income. We currently estimate O'Sullivan Holdings will pay RadioShack $3.7 million in fiscal 2005. The funds for
these payments have come, and funds for future payments will continue to come, from O'Sullivan Industries. We
plan to fund these increased payment obligations from cash flows from operating activities, cash on hand, borrowing
under our credit agreement or other sources of capital, if available.

o Our operating income would be reduced if the prices our suppliers charge us for raw
materials increase. We are dependent on outside suppliers for all of our raw material needs and are subject to
changes in the prices charged by our suppliers. If these prices were to increase significantly, our gross profit would
be reduced and could in turn lead to our being unable to service our indebtedness.

In fiscal 2004, market prices for particleboard, our largest-cost raw material, increased about 40% to 50%,
depending on thickness and origin. Market prices for fiberboard increased about 30%. We expect additional price
increases in the first half of fiscal 2005, 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 fiscal 2004. These price increases will reduce our
operating margins and operating income for fiscal 2005 and perhaps beyond.

We are endeavoring to reduce the impact of the price increases through our productivity programs and by
the eventual inclusion of the higher costs in the pricing of our products. We have negotiated higher prices for our
products with our customers; these price increases were not fully effective in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. In our
productivity programs, 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.

o Because we sell products to a small number of customers, our sales would be reduced if one
of our major customers significantly reduced its purchases of our products or were unable to fulfill its
financial obligations to us. If this were to happen, our ability to pay our debts may be significantly affected.
Our sales are concentrated among a relatively small number of customers. Any of our major customers can stop
purchasing product from us or significantly reduce their purchases at any time. During fiscal year 2004, our four
largest customers, OfficeMax, Wal-Mart, Office Depot and Staples, accounted for approximately 58% of our gross
sales. We do not have long term contracts with any of our customers and our sales depend on our continuing ability
to deliver attractive products at reasonable prices. Reduced orders from some of our largest customers significantly
reduced our sales in fiscal 2003 and 2004. Further, Montgomery Ward closed all of its stores in fiscal 2001, Ames
closed all of its stores in 2002 and Kmart closed approximately 600 stores during its reorganization under the United
States Bankruptcy Code in fiscal 2002 and 2003 and has announced plans to sell additional stores. We cannot assure
you that our other customers will not experience similar financial difficulties in the future.

Further, in December 2003, Best Buy informed us that they would be reducing orders of particleboard
furniture. As a result, our sales to Best Buy declined significantly in the last half of fiscal 2004. We expect sales to
Best Buy to continue at the lower level. We hope to partially offset this loss by increasing sales to other customers,
but we cannot assure you that this will occur.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current level of sales to our customers or that
we will be able to sell our products to other customers on terms that will be favorable. The loss of, or substantial
decrease in the amount of purchases by, or a write-off of any significant receivables due from, any of our major
customers would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial
condition.

At June 30, 2004, our largest five customer accounts receivable balances comprised approximately 65% of
our net trade receivables balance. The bankruptcy of a large customer, such as Kmart's bankruptcy in January 2002,
could cause us to increase our reserves for doubtful accounts substantially, reducing our operating income and net
income accordingly.

o We operate in a highly competitive market which may force us to reduce margins, reducing
our cash flows and our ability to pay our debts. The industry in which we operate is highly competitive. Some of
our competitors are significantly larger and have greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do.
Because of lower sales of RTA furniture generally and an increase in imports, a number of manufacturers, including
us, have excess capacity. The competitive nature of our industry has led and could continue to lead to smaller profit
margins due to competitive pricing policies or excess capacity. If this were to occur, our cash flows and our ability
to pay our debts may be reduced. Foreign manufacturers entering the United States market are also increasing
competition in our markets. This competitive pressure could be further exacerbated if additional excess
manufacturing capacity develops in the RTA furniture industry due to over-expansion by manufacturers, further
reduction in demand or otherwise.

o Because our senior subordinated notes, and the subsidiary guarantee thereof, rank behind
O'Sullivan Industries' senior debt, holders of these notes may receive proportionately less than holders of our
senior debt in a bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or similar proceeding. In the event of a bankruptcy,
liquidation, reorganization or similar proceeding relating to us, holders of O'Sullivan Industries senior subordinated
notes will participate with all other holders of our subordinated indebtedness in the assets remaining after we have
paid all of the senior debt. Because our senior debt must be paid first, holders of these notes may receive
proportionately less than trade creditors in any proceedings of this nature. In any of these cases, we may not have
sufficient funds to pay all of our creditors. Therefore, holders of our subordinated indebtedness may receive ratably
less than trade creditors.

In addition, all payments on the subordinated debt will be blocked in the event of a payment default on our
senior debt and may be prohibited for up to 179 days each year in the event of some non-payment defaults on senior
debt.

o Despite our current levels of debt, we may still incur more debt and increase the risks
described above. We may incur significant additional indebtedness in the future. If we or our subsidiaries add new
debt to our current debt levels, the related risks that we and they now face could intensify, making it less likely that
we will be able to fulfill our obligations to holders of the O'Sullivan Industries senior subordinated notes. None of
the agreements governing our indebtedness completely prohibits us or our subsidiaries from doing so. Our credit
agreement permits additional borrowings of up to $26.9 million at June 30, 2004, although about $14.0 million of
this capacity was utilized by the issuance of letters of credit. These additional borrowings would be senior to the
O'Sullivan Industries senior subordinated notes.

o If we become bankrupt, the claims of holders of the O'Sullivan Industries senior secured
notes and senior subordinated notes against us may be less than the face value of the notes due to original
issue discount. The O'Sullivan Industries senior secured notes and senior subordinated notes bear a discount from
their stated principal amount at maturity. If a bankruptcy case is commenced by or against O'Sullivan Industries
under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the claim of a holder of the notes with respect to the principal amount thereof
would likely be limited to an amount equal to the sum of (1) the initial offering price and (2) the portion of the
original issue discount, or OID, that is not deemed to constitute "unmatured interest" for purposes of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code. Any OID that was not accrued as of the bankruptcy filing would constitute "unmatured interest."

o We are at risk that users of our products will sue us for product liability. If we were unable
to defend ourselves against some product liability lawsuits, our success and our ability to pay our debts may
be reduced. All of our products are designed for use by consumers. Like other manufacturers of similar products,
we are subject to product liability claims and could be subject to class action litigation with respect to our products.
If we were unable to defend ourselves against certain product liability lawsuits, our success and ability to pay our

debts may be adversely affected. We are party to various pending product liability claims and legal actions arising in
the ordinary operation of our business. Our liability insurance may not be adequate for our needs, and we may not
be fully insured against any particular lawsuit which may adversely affect us.

o We may be liable for penalties under environmental, health and safety laws rules and
regulations. This could negatively affect our success and our ability to pay our debts. We are subject to many
federal, state and local, environmental, health and safety laws, regulations and ordinances including the requirements
and standards of the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission and the Occupational Health and Safety Act.
Violations of environmental, health and safety laws are subject to civil, and in some cases criminal, sanctions. We
have made and will continue to make capital and other expenditures in order to comply with these laws and
regulations. However, the requirements of these laws and regulations are complex, change frequently, and could
become more stringent in the future. We cannot predict what environmental legislation or regulations will be
enacted in the future, how existing or future laws or regulations will be administered or interpreted or what
environmental conditions may be found to exist. These costs and expenses may adversely affect our success and
ability to pay our debts.

Our manufacturing facilities ship waste products to various disposal sites. To the extent that these waste
products include hazardous substances that could be discharged into the environment at these disposal sites or
elsewhere, we are potentially subject to laws that provide for responses to, and liability for, releases of hazardous
substances into the environment and liability for natural resource damages. One example of these laws is the federal
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act. Generally, liability under this act is joint
and several and is determined without regard to fault. In addition to the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act, similar state or other laws and regulations may impose the same or even broader
liability for releases of hazardous substances. Because these laws could subject us to liability even if we are not at
fault, it is difficult for us to estimate the cost of complying with them.

o The interests of our controlling stockholders may be in conflict with interests of the holders
of our indebtedness. This conflict could result in corporate decision making that involves disproportionate
risks to the holders of our indebtedness, including our ability to service our debts or pay the principal amount
of indebtedness when due. BRS owns securities representing approximately 72.7% of the voting power of the
outstanding common stock of O'Sullivan Holdings. Pursuant to the stockholders agreement among O'Sullivan
Holdings, BRS and certain other of our stockholders, BRS has the right to appoint five directors to the board of
directors of O'Sullivan Holdings. As a result, directors appointed by BRS will be in a position to control all matters
affecting us. Such concentration of ownership may have the effect of preventing a change in control. As a result,
BRS will continue to have the ability to elect and remove directors and determine the outcome of matters presented
for approval by our stockholders. In addition, there may be circumstances where the interests of BRS could be in
conflict with the interests of the holders of our indebtedness. For example, BRS may have an interest in pursuing
transactions that, in their judgment, could enhance their equity investment, even though these transactions might
involve risks to the holders of O'Sullivan's debt. See Item 10, "Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant,"
and Item 12, "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management," in Part III of this report.

o If our key personnel were to leave, our success could be negatively affected and our ability to
service our debts could be adversely affected. Our continued success is dependent, to a certain extent, upon our
ability to attract and retain qualified personnel in all areas of our business, including management positions and key
sales positions, especially those positions servicing our major customers. We do not have employment agreements
with any of our officers or key personnel located in the United States other than with Messrs. Parker, Walters and
Orr and we do not carry key person life insurance on any of our employees. We may not be able to keep existing
personnel or be able to attract qualified new personnel. Our inability to do so could have a negative effect on us as
we may be unable to efficiently and effectively run our business without these key personnel. See "Directors and
Executive Officers of the Registrant," Item 10 of Part III of this report.

o We rely heavily on product innovation. Product life cycles can be short in the RTA furniture
industry, and innovation is an important component of the competitive nature of the industry. While we emphasize

new product innovation and product repositioning (i.e., design changes or revised marketing strategies), we may be
unable to continue to develop competitive products in a timely manner or to respond adequately to market trends. In
addition, we may not be able to ensure that repositioned products will gain initial market acceptance, that interest in
our products will be sustained, or that significant start-up costs with respect to new products will be recouped.

o Our net sales are highly price sensitive, which can prevent us from passing cost increases to
our customers. Sales to mass retailers, which are among our primary customers, are highly price sensitive. We set
many product prices on an annual basis or for longer periods, but we typically purchase raw materials and
components under purchase orders within periods of less than one year. Accordingly, we often must set prices for
many products before production costs have been firmly established, before we have complete knowledge of the
costs of raw materials and components and sometimes before product development is complete. After we have
established prices, we generally have difficulty passing cost increases along to our customers, nor can we compete as
effectively if we seek to pass such costs along.

o Fraudulent conveyance laws permit courts to void guarantees, subordinate claims and
require holders of our debt to return payments received from guarantors in specific circumstances. Under
federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, a guarantee could be voided, or
claims in respect of a guarantee could be subordinated to all other debts of a guarantor, if, among other things, the
guarantor, at the time it incurred the indebtedness connected with its guarantee:

o received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the issuance of the
guarantee, and was rendered insolvent by reason of such guarantee; or
o was engaged in a business or transaction for which the guarantor's remaining assets constituted
unreasonably small capital; or
o intended to incur or believed that it would incur debts beyond our or its ability to pay such debts as
they mature.

In addition, any payment by that guarantor pursuant to its guarantee could be voided and required to be
returned to the guarantor, or to a fund for the benefit of the creditors of the guarantor.

The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws will vary depending upon the
law applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, a
guarantor would be considered insolvent if:

o the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, were greater than the fair saleable value of all
of its assets; or
o the present fair saleable value of its assets were less than the amount that would be required to pay
its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they became absolute
and mature; or
o it could not pay its debts as they became due.

If a court were to disagree with our conclusions as to the legality of any subsidiary guarantees it could
adversely affect the rights of holders of O'Sullivan Industries' indebtedness.

o We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to finance a change of control offer
required by our debt agreements. Upon certain change of control events, we will be required to offer to
repurchase all of the O'Sullivan Industries senior secured notes and senior subordinated notes, and O'Sullivan
Holdings may be required to repurchase its note upon a change of control of O'Sullivan Holdings. If we do not have
sufficient funds at the time of a change of control, we will not be able to make the required repurchase of these notes.
This could be because of cash flow difficulties or because of restrictions in our credit agreement and any future
credit agreements that will not allow these repurchases.

In addition, some kinds of corporate events, such as a leveraged recapitalization, would increase the level of
our indebtedness but would not necessarily constitute a "Change of Control" and would therefore not require us to
repurchase the notes.

O'SULLIVAN INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A wholly owned subsidiary of O'Sullivan Industries Holdings, Inc.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - General Information.

O'Sullivan Industries, Inc. ("O'Sullivan"), a wholly owned subsidiary of O'Sullivan Industries Holdings, Inc.
("O'Sullivan Holdings") and a Delaware corporation, is a domestic producer of ready-to-assemble ("RTA") furniture.
O'Sullivan's RTA furniture includes desks, computer workcenters, cabinets, home entertainment centers, audio
equipment racks, bookcases, microwave oven carts and a wide variety of other RTA furniture for use in the home,
office and home office. The products are distributed primarily through office superstores, discount mass merchants,
mass merchants, home centers, electronics retailers, furniture stores and internationally. O'Sullivan Industries is the
sole owner of O'Sullivan Industries - Virginia, Inc. ("O'Sullivan Industries - Virginia") and O'Sullivan Furniture
Factory Outlet, Inc.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Basis of Presentation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of O'Sullivan and its
wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions, balances and profits have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates: O'Sullivan's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial
statements requires O'Sullivan to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. On
an on-going basis, O'Sullivan evaluates its estimates, including those related to customer programs and incentives,
uncollectible receivables, sales returns and warranty reserves, inventory valuation, restructuring costs, intangible
assets, certain accrued liabilities, deferred taxes, and contingencies and litigation, among others. O'Sullivan bases its
estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes 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 could differ from the estimates
made by O'Sullivan with respect to these items and other items that require management's estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and all highly liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Business and Credit Risk Concentrations: The largest five customer accounts receivable balances
accounted for approximately 65% and 62% of the trade receivable balance at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Credit is extended to customers based on evaluation of the customer's financial condition, generally without
requiring collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is dependent on each customer's financial condition.
Therefore, O'Sullivan would be exposed to a large loss if one of its major customers were not able to fulfill its
financial obligations. From time to time, O'Sullivan maintains certain limited credit insurance which may help
reduce, but not eliminate, exposure to potential credit losses. In addition, O'Sullivan monitors its exposure for credit
losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses. O'Sullivan determines its allowance by performing a monthly
aging analysis of customer receivables. All past due amounts greater than 60 days and over a specified dollar
amount are reviewed individually for collectibility. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when
O'Sullivan determines the receivable will not be recovered.

Revenue Recognition: O'Sullivan recognizes 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, O'Sullivan uses purchase orders from the customer, whether
oral, 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. O'Sullivan assesses whether the price is fixed or determinable based upon the
payment terms associated with the transaction.

O'Sullivan assesses collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the
customer and the creditworthiness of the customer. Collateral is generally not requested from customers.

Shipping and Handling: O'Sullivan reports amounts billed to customers as revenue, the cost of
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 fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002
were approximately $7.4 million, $6.3 million and $9.7 million, respectively.

Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis, or
market. Provision for potentially obsolete or slow-moving inventory is made based on management's evaluation of
inventory levels and future sales forecasts.

Property, Plant and Equipment: Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment is
calculated using the straight-line method, which amortizes the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives.
The ranges of estimated useful lives are: buildings--30 to 40 years; machinery and equipment--3 to 10 years;
leasehold improvements--the lesser of the life of the lease or asset. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense
as incurred. Renewals and betterments which materially prolong the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. The
cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the accounts, and gains or
losses on disposal are recognized in the statement of operations.

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by
a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by
the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount
by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

Intangible Assets: Included in non-current other assets is a non-competition agreement with a former
O'Sullivan executive. This intangible asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the agreement.
At June 30, 2004 and 2003, the cost of this intangible asset was approximately $1.9 million, and accumulated
amortization at June 30, 2004 and 2003 was approximately $1.3 million and approximately $1.0 million,
respectively. Amortization expense for this agreement is estimated to be approximately $300,000 per year in fiscal
2005 and fiscal 2006.

Goodwill: O'Sullivan assesses goodwill 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. O'Sullivan discontinued amortizing goodwill in connection with the adoption of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, on July 1,
2001. Accumulated amortization at June 30, 2004 and 2003 approximated $29.8 million.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The fair value of financial instruments is determined by reference to
various market data and other valuation techniques, as appropriate. Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value of
financial instruments approximates their recorded values due primarily to the short-term nature of their maturities.

Advertising Costs: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense is included in selling,
marketing and administrative expense and amounted to $7.2 million, $7.5 million and $7.0 million in fiscal 2004,
2003 and 2002, respectively. Customer promotional payments are classified as a reduction of revenue.

Income Taxes: Deferred taxes are provided on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are
recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are
recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported

amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when
it can not be established that it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Environmental Remediation and Compliance: Environmental remediation and compliance expenditures
that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized, as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing
condition caused by past operations and that do not contribute to current or future revenue generation are expensed.
Liabilities are recognized when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be
reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with completion of a feasibility study or
O'Sullivan's commitment to a formal plan of action. To date, environmental expenditures have not been material,
and management is not aware of any material environmental related contingencies.

Significant Fourth Quarter Adjustments: Note 4 describes the $2.0 million restructuring charge recorded
by O'Sullivan in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, O'Sullivan increased its
inventory reserve by approximately $1.0 million to bring its recorded inventory balance more in line with current
market conditions. In November 2003 a fire destroyed certain of O'Sullivan's manufacturing equipment. O'Sullivan
recorded a $250,000 casualty loss during the second quarter of fiscal 2004 and recorded a $740,000 casualty gain
during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 when the insurance recoveries were realized. All proceeds from the
insurance company have been received.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation: O'Sullivan accounts for stock based compensation pursuant to
the intrinsic value based method of accounting as prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees. O'Sullivan has made pro forma disclosures of net income as if the fair value based method of accounting
defined in SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, had been applied. See also Note 11.

No stock-based compensation cost is included in net income (loss), as all historical options granted had an
exercise price equal to the market value of the stock on the date of the grant. The following tables present the effect
on net income (loss) had compensation cost for the company'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.

Comprehensive Income: Other comprehensive income consists of foreign currency translation adjustments
from O'Sullivan's operations in Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. The tax benefit (expense) related to
other comprehensive income (loss) approximated $0, $0 and ($10,000) for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and
2002, respectively.

New Accounting Standards: 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 superceded 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 reviewed the applicability of FIN 46(R) to entities other than SPE's and
has determined that the adoption of FIN 46(R) did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity: O'Sullivan has a stockholders' deficit of approximately $112 million as of June 30, 2004,
incurred a net loss of $19.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2004 and expects to incur a loss during the year
ending June 30, 2005. O'Sullivan's net sales have declined each of the past four years. O'Sullivan's sales and
operating results during 2004 were impacted by a decline in the RTA furniture market, increased competition from
foreign and domestic competitors, a product mix reflecting more promotional merchandise, and higher raw material
costs, principally particleboard and fiberboard.

O'Sullivan has recently added several new key members to its executive management team. The new
executive management team is in the process of evaluating O'Sullivan's strategies and core competencies to
determine the most effective way to improve sales, reduce costs and increase operating income. O'Sullivan
refinanced its previous senior credit facility on September 29, 2003. As a result of the refinancing, O'Sullivan has no
principal payments on debt due until October 2008. In connection with the refinancing, O'Sullivan entered into a
five year $40 million revolving credit agreement (discussed further in Note 9). Borrowing availability under the
credit agreement is subject to, among other things, a borrowing base determined by qualified inventory and accounts
receivable levels, and is further reduced by outstanding letters of credit. O'Sullivan expects borrowing availability
under the credit agreement to approximate $10 million to $15 million, after the effect of outstanding letters of credit
($14.0 million at June 30, 2004), from October 2004 through the end of fiscal 2005. Decreased demand for
O'Sullivan products, as well as efforts to reduce working capital requirements, could negatively affect levels of
inventory and accounts receivable and the availability of borrowings under the credit agreement.

O'Sullivan management believes that cash on hand, net cash to be generated from operations, and forecasted
availability under the credit agreement will be sufficient to meet O'Sullivan's cash needs for the next twelve months.
O'Sullivan was in compliance with its debt covenants at June 30, 2004 and expects to remain in compliance with
these covenants during the next twelve months. In the event that revenues are significantly below fiscal year 2005
forecasted revenues, O'Sullivan believes it has the ability to reduce or delay discretionary expenditures, including
capital purchases, and further reduce operating costs and expenses so that it will have sufficient cash resources
through the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that O'Sullivan will be able to adjust its costs
in sufficient time to respond to revenue shortfalls, should that occur.

Note 3--Accounting for Tax Sharing Agreement with RadioShack.

In 1994, RadioShack, then Tandy Corporation, completed an initial public offering of O'Sullivan Holdings.
In connection with the offering, O'Sullivan Holdings entered into a tax sharing and tax benefit reimbursement
agreement with RadioShack. O'Sullivan Holdings and RadioShack made elections under Sections 338(g) and
338(h)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code with the effect that the tax basis of O'Sullivan's 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 O'Sullivan's assets exceeded the
historical book basis O'Sullivan used for financial reporting purposes.

The increased tax basis of O'Sullivan's assets results in increased tax deductions and, accordingly, reduced
its taxable income or increased its net operating loss. Under the tax sharing agreement, O'Sullivan Holdings is
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 and further increase the tax basis of its assets from the 1994 initial public offering when
payments are made to RadioShack. Accordingly, O'Sullivan recorded the deferred tax asset created by the step-up in
tax basis and the additional tax basis from the probable future payments by O'Sullivan Holdings to RadioShack. The
deferred tax asset had a balance of $69.4 million and $72.1 million at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Additionally, O'Sullivan recorded a payable to parent equal to O'Sullivan Holdings' remaining maximum
obligation to RadioShack pursuant to the tax sharing agreement. The remaining maximum obligation to RadioShack
was $70.1 million and $72.1 million at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. O'Sullivan Holdings' future payments
to RadioShack are contingent upon achieving consolidated taxable income calculated on the basis of the tax sharing
agreement.

Note 4 - Restructuring Charges.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, O'Sullivan determined to reduce its operations at its South Boston,
Virginia facility to one shift. As a result, O'Sullivan reduced its workforce by about 200 people in Virginia.
O'Sullivan also reduced its corporate staff in Lamar, Missouri by about 40 people, or about 15%. In connection with
these reductions, O'Sullivan incurred severance costs of approximately $1.5 million, which it recorded as a
restructuring charge in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. Substantially all of the severance had been paid by June 30,
2004.

In January 2001, O'Sullivan closed its Cedar City, Utah production facility. Fixed assets with a net book
value of $20.3 million were written down to estimated fair value, less cost to sell, resulting in an impairment charge
of approximately $8.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. An additional impairment charge of $540,000
was recognized in the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The additional charge resulted from subsequent changes in the
carrying amount of the assets held for sale due to unfavorable market conditions.

In June 2003, O'Sullivan sold the land and building it owned in Cedar City, Utah. The net proceeds from
the sale were used to reduce indebtedness under O'Sullivan's senior credit facility. The sale did not require a further
significant adjustment to the carrying value of the land and building. No significant assets remain from the closing
of the facility.

Note 5 - Derivative Financial Instruments.

As required under its previous senior credit facility (refinanced on September 29, 2003 - See Note 9),
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 with a floor
of 6.43% and a ceiling of 8.75%. O'Sullivan recorded additional (reduced) interest expense of $(2.1 million) and
$(5,000) for fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. These amounts represent the changes in fair value of the interest
rate collar.

Senior Credit Facility. Until September 29, 2003, O'Sullivan was the obligor under a senior credit facility
totaling $175.0 million. O'Sullivan entered into an agreement for the senior credit facility on November 30, 1999.
The senior credit facility consisted of the following:

o Senior term loan, tranche A - $35.0 million term loan facility payable in 23 quarterly installments beginning
March 31, 2000. The outstanding balance was $10.6 million at June 30, 2003.

o Senior term loan, tranche B - $100.0 million term loan facility payable in 26 quarterly installments
beginning March 31, 2001. The balance of these loans $77.7 million at June 30, 2003.

o Revolving credit facility - $30.0 million ($40.0 million before an amendment effective June 30, 2003)
revolving credit facility due November 30, 2005, which included a $15.0 million letter of credit subfacility
and a $5.0 million swing line subfacility. At June 30, 2003, O'Sullivan had no borrowings outstanding on
the revolving credit facility and approximately $13.5 million of letters of credit outstanding.

Interest rates on borrowings under the senior credit facility were either a LIBOR rate plus a margin or a
base rate plus a margin. A fee equal to 0.5% per annum was paid on the unused commitment under the credit
agreement. At June 30, 2003, the interest rate on loans under the senior credit facility was increased to a Eurodollar
rate plus 4.75% or prime plus 3.75% for revolving credit and tranche A term loans and a Eurodollar rate plus 5.25%
or a base rate plus 4.25% for tranche B term loans. On June 30, 2003, the interest rate for tranche A loans was 6.1%.
The interest rate for tranche B loans was 6.6%. In addition, O'Sullivan paid additional interest of 2.0% on the
outstanding balance of the tranche B loans on when the loans were repaid.

O'Sullivan's obligations under the senior credit facility were secured by first priority liens and security
interests in the stock of O'Sullivan, O'Sullivan Industries - Virginia and O'Sullivan Furniture Factory Outlet, Inc. and
substantially all of the assets of O'Sullivan Industries, O'Sullivan Industries - Virginia and O'Sullivan Furniture

Factory Outlet, Inc. The senior credit facility and notes were subject to certain financial and operational covenants
and other restrictions. The senior credit facility was amended three times after its November 30, 1999 execution
date. The first two amendments modified the existing financial covenants and increased interest rates. The last
amendment on June 30, 2003 lowered the revolver commitment, waived certain covenants and increased the interest
rates. At June 30, 2003, O'Sullivan was in compliance with the amended debt covenants.

Refinancing. On September 29, 2003, O'Sullivan 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 approximately $3.8 million of expenses related to the issuance. 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's capital stock) other than accounts receivable,
inventory, capital stock of O'Sullivan's 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 and O'Sullivan Furniture Factory Outlet, Inc. Pursuant to a registration
rights agreement, we filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission 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, in December 2003. The registration statement became effective on January 8, 2004, and the exchange
offer closed on February 25, 2004. Interest is payable on these notes semi-annually in January and July.

On September 29, 2003, O'Sullivan, O'Sullivan - Virginia and O'Sullivan Furniture Factory Outlet, Inc. also
entered into a new 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 credit agreement has a $25.0 million sub-limit for
letters of credit, of which O'Sullivan was currently utilizing $14.0 million at June 30, 2004. The credit agreement is
secured by a first-priority security interest in and lien on substantially all of its 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 and its
subsidiaries, deposit accounts, certain books and records and certain licenses. O'Sullivan Holdings guaranteed the
obligations under the credit agreement. O'Sullivan was in compliance with the debt covenants contained in the credit
agreement at June 30, 2004. 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.
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 June 30, 2004.

In connection with the execution and delivery of the credit agreement, O'Sullivan entered into a lockbox
agreement with the agent under the agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, O'Sullivan granted the agent a security
interest in the cash deposited, or received in the future, in the account. Under the terms of the lockbox agreement,
the agent has control over the accounts and amounts deposited therein. Because of the nature of the lockbox
arrangement and other provisions of the credit agreement, accounting principles require any borrowings under the
credit agreement to be classified as short term even though the term of the credit agreement does not expire until
September 2008.

In connection with the repayment of the term loans and the termination of the revolving credit facility under
the senior credit facility, O'Sullivan expensed approximately $2.3 million of unamortized issuance costs related to
the facility in the first quarter of fiscal 2004.

Industrial Revenue Bonds. O'Sullivan Industries - Virginia is obligor on $10.0 million of variable rate
industrial revenue bonds ("IRB's") that mature on October 1, 2008. Interest on the IRB's is paid monthly. The loan
is secured by a $10.2 million standby letter of credit under the credit agreement. At June 30, 2003 the interest rate
on these bonds was about 1.25%. A letter of credit provides liquidity and credit support for the IRB's; the cost of the
letter of credit was an additional 3.5% at June 30, 2004.

Senior Subordinated Notes. The senior subordinated notes issued by O'Sullivan Industries totaling $100.0
million bear interest at the rate of 13.375% per annum and are due in 2009. The notes were sold at 98.046% of their

face value. Interest is payable semiannually on April 15 and October 15. In connection with these notes, O'Sullivan
Holdings issued warrants to purchase 93,273 shares of O'Sullivan Holdings common stock at an exercise price of
$0.01 per share and 39,273 shares of O'Sullivan Holdings Series B junior preferred stock at an exercise price of
$0.01 per share. The warrants were immediately exercisable and were recorded at their fair value of $3.5 million.
The notes were recorded net of discount, which consists of $2.0 million of original issue discount and $3.5 million of
the original proceeds allocated to the estimated fair value of the warrants and which has been classified as paid-in
capital in the consolidated balance sheets.

During fiscal 2004, O'Sullivan repurchased $4.0 million of these notes. O'Sullivan realized a gain from this
transaction of $616,000, which is net of original issue discount and other capitalized loan fees that were expensed.
This gain is presented in other financing costs, net, on the 2004 statement of operations.

The credit agreement, senior secured notes and senior subordinated notes contain covenants that restrict
O'Sullivan's ability, among others, to incur additional indebtedness; create certain liens and security interests; make
certain investments; create certain or be liable with respect to certain contingent obligations; pay dividends and make
certain distributions; modify the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of O'Sullivan or its subsidiaries; issue
common and preferred stock of subsidiaries; repurchase stock; enter into transactions with affiliates; enter into sale
and leaseback transactions; merge or consolidate; enter into certain new types of business; and transfer and sell
assets other than in the ordinary course of business. Other covenants require O'Sullivan to comply with applicable
laws, including applicable environmental laws and permit requirements, and contractual obligations; maintain
insurance; maintain its existence; maintain its properties; and provide certain financial and other information to the
note holder, trustee or agent, as applicable. In connection with the hiring of a new management team for O'Sullivan
and the issuance of equity securities to them, O'Sullivan obtained an amendment to the credit agreement changing the
minimum percentage of our equity required to be held by BRS and consenting to the amendment of O'Sullivan's
certificate of incorporation to create a new series of preferred stock and to increase the amount of shares it is
authorized to issue. O'Sullivan was in compliance with all debt covenants at June 30, 2004.

At June 30, 2004, the estimated fair value of the senior secured notes and the senior subordinated
notes was approximately 85% and 48.5% of their principal amount, respectively. The estimated fair value of the
industrial revenue bonds approximated its book value at June 30, 2004.

During the year ended June 30, 2002, O'Sullivan recorded a full valuation allowance of $94.3 million
against its net deferred tax assets because it was unable to determine, based on objective evidence, that it was more
likely than not that O'Sullivan would be able to utilize its net operating losses prior to their expiration. If at a future
date O'Sullivan determines that some or all of the deferred tax asset will more likely than not be realized, O'Sullivan
will reverse the appropriate portion of the valuation allowance and credit income tax expense.

Because of the current tax benefits associated with the Section 338 election (see Note 3) and because of the
valuation allowance recorded in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, O'Sullivan recorded no tax expense in the two
years ended June 30, 2004. See Note 3 for a discussion of O'Sullivan's accounting with respect to the tax sharing
agreement between RadioShack Corporation and O'Sullivan Holdings.

Note 11 - Stock Options.

In January 2000, O'Sullivan Holdings adopted its 2000 Common Stock Option Plan. Pursuant to this plan,
O'Sullivan Holdings may issue up to 81,818 shares of O'Sullivan Holdings Class A common stock to employees of
O'Sullivan. The exercise price for shares issued under the plan is equal to the fair market value on the date of grant.
Options issued pursuant to the plan will vest in five annual installments if certain performance targets are met;
otherwise, the options will vest in seven years from their date of grant or one day prior to their expiration. On
June 19, 2000, the compensation committee of O'Sullivan Holdings granted options to purchase 75,800 shares of
common stock at an exercise price of $1.90 per share, which was the estimated fair value of the underlying common

stock at the date of grant. The expiration date of these options is November 30, 2009. Twenty percent of these
options were exercisable at June 30, 2004.

In November 2001, O'Sullivan Holdings adopted its 2001 Director Common Stock Option Plan. Pursuant
to this plan, O'Sullivan Holdings may issue up to 15,000 shares of O'Sullivan Holdings Class A common stock to
O'Sullivan Holdings directors who are not employees of, or consultants to, O'Sullivan or BRS or any affiliate of
BRS. The exercise price for shares issued under the plan is equal to the fair market value on the date of grant.
Options issued pursuant to the plan will vest in three equal annual installments. On November 15, 2001, the Board
granted options to purchase 6,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.90 per share, which was the
estimated fair value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant. The options were cancelled in June 2004
with the resignation of the option holder.

In the 1999 recapitalization and merger, O'Sullivan Holdings issued options to purchase 60,318.67 shares of
its Series A junior preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, in exchange for certain options held by management
participants in the buyout. All of these options are currently vested and exercisable and expire on December 31,
2025. The agreements for the options to purchase O'Sullivan Holdings' Series A junior preferred stock provide for a
special accrual at the rate of 14% per annum on the difference between the liquidation value of the stock ($150.00
per share) and the exercise price of the option ($50.00 per share). The special accrual accrues at the same time and in
the same manner as would dividends on issued and outstanding shares of O'Sullivan Holdings' Series A junior
preferred stock. No amount is payable until the exercise of the option, and payment is further subject to the terms of
any debt agreement of O'Sullivan Holdings or O'Sullivan. When made, payment of the special accrual may be made
in cash or by a reduction in the exercise price for the option. The special accrual approximated $1.4 million, $1.2
million and $1.1 million for fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and is included in selling, marketing and
administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

O'Sullivan accounts for stock-based compensation for employees under Accounting Principles Board
No. 25 and has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123. Accordingly, no stock-based compensation
cost has been recognized for options except as mentioned above. See Note 2 for the pro forma disclosures had
compensation cost for stock option plans been determined in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123.

Note 12 - Employee Benefit Plans.

Prior to December 31, 2002, O'Sullivan Holdings maintained a stock purchase program that was available
to most employees. The stock purchase program (the "SPP"), as amended, allowed a maximum employee
contribution of 5%, while O'Sullivan's matching contribution was 25%, 40% or 50% of the employee's contribution,

depending on the length of the employee's participation in the program. The program invested contributions in a
broad-based mutual fund. The matching contributions to the stock purchase program were $307,000 and $640,000
in fiscal years 2003 and 2002, respectively. O'Sullivan Holdings terminated the SPP effective December 31, 2002.

O'Sullivan Holdings also has a Savings and Profit Sharing Plan in which most employees are eligible to
participate. Under the savings orss. 401(k) portion of the plan, employees may contribute from 1% to 100% of their
compensation (subject to certain limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code). Prior to January 1, 2003,
O'Sullivan made matching contributions equal to 50% of the first 5% of eligible employee contributions. The
matching contribution increased to 100% of the first 5% of eligible employee contributions effective January 1,
2003. Under the profit sharing portion of the plan, O'Sullivan may contribute annually an amount determined by the
O'Sullivan Holdings Board of Directors. Employer matching contributions vest immediately, while profit sharing
contributions vest 100% when the employee has five years of service with O'Sullivan. For fiscal 2004, 2003 and
2002, O'Sullivan accrued approximately $0, $0 and $2.2 million respectively, for the profit sharing portion of the
plan. The matching contributions to the savings portion of the plan were $1.4 million, $858,000 and $458,000 in
fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Effective July 1, 1997, O'Sullivan Holdings implemented its Deferred Compensation Plan. This plan is
available to employees of O'Sullivan deemed to be "highly compensated employees" pursuant to the Internal
Revenue Code. O'Sullivan makes certain matching and profit sharing accruals to the accounts of participants. All
amounts deferred or accrued under the terms of the plan represent unsecured obligations of O'Sullivan Holdings to
the participants. Matching and profit sharing accruals under this plan were not material in fiscal 2004, 2003 or 2002.

Note 13 - Condensed Consolidating Financial Information.

In November 1999 O'Sullivan issued $100 million of 13.375% senior subordinated notes due 2009. These
notes were unsecured obligations of O'Sullivan; however, they were guaranteed on an unsecured basis by O'Sullivan
Industries - Virginia 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
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.

The accompanying condensed consolidating financial information has been prepared and presented
pursuant to SEC rules and regulations.

Note 14 - Related Party Transactions.

BRS. O'Sullivan entered into a management services agreement with BRS, LLC for strategic and financial
advisory services on November 30, 1999. The fee for these services is the greater of (a) 1% of O'Sullivan's

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, LLC 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's 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 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 fee and other reimbursable costs of $300,000, $442,000 and $501,000 recognized during
fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, are included in selling, marketing and administrative expense in the
consolidated statement of operations. O'Sullivan paid BRS, LLC $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. In January
2003, O'Sullivan made an additional prepayment of $285,000 for the fiscal 2003 management fee. At June 30, 2003,
the prepaid balance of $147,000 is included in prepaid expenses on the consolidated balance sheets. At June 30,
2004, the amount due BRS of $153,000 is included in accrued liabilities.

Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies.

Leases. O'Sullivan leases warehouse space, computers and certain other equipment under operating leases.
As of June 30, 2004, minimum future lease payments for all noncancellable lease agreements were as follows (in
thousands):

2005 $ 1,603
2006 1,126
2007 417
2008 239
2009 171

Rent expense incurred by O'Sullivan under operating leases (including renewable monthly leases) were
$1.8 million, $1.8 million and $1.9 million in fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Tax Sharing Agreement between O'Sullivan Holdings and RadioShack. During fiscal 2004, 2003 and
2002, O'Sullivan paid $2.0 million, $9.3 million and $27.7 million, respectively, to O'Sullivan Holdings with respect
to the tax sharing agreement. Future tax sharing agreement payments are contingent on taxable income. The
maximum payments are fiscal 2005-- $20.2 million; fiscal 2006-- $11.3 million; fiscal 2007-- $12.3 million;
fiscal 2008-- $14.5 million; and thereafter-- $11.8 million. The amount O'Sullivan estimates it will pay during
fiscal 2005 has been recorded in current liabilities. See note 3 for additional information regarding the tax sharing
agreement.

Litigation. In September 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 aggregated $3.7 million. We settled
this suit in May 2004. The resolution of the litigation did not materially affect our results of operations.

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. O'Sullivan believes it did
not receive any preferential payments and is contesting this lawsuit vigorously. However, until the claim can be
investigated further, O'Sullivan is unable to predict the outcome of this litigation.

In November 2001 House2Home filed for bankruptcy and eventually closed all of its stores. In fiscal 2004
we received notice of a 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 have denied we received any preferential payments. We
are contesting this lawsuit vigorously. However, until the claim can be investigated further, O'Sullivan is unable to
predict the outcome of this litigation.

O'Sullivan is a party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of its business. O'Sullivan does
not believe that any such pending actions will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, liquidity or
financial position. O'Sullivan maintains liability insurance at levels which it believes are adequate for its needs.

Regulatory Matters. O'Sullivan's operations are subject to extensive federal, state and local laws,
regulations and ordinances relating to the generation, storage, handling, emission, transportation and discharge of
certain materials, substances and waste into the environment. Permits are required for certain of O'Sullivan's
operations and are subject to revocation, modification and renewal by governmental authorities. In general,

compliance with air emission regulations is not expected to have a material adverse effect on O'Sullivan's business,
results of operations or financial condition.

O'Sullivan's manufacturing facilities ship waste product to various disposal sites. O'Sullivan Industries has
been designated as a potentially responsible party under the Arkansas Remedial Action Trust Fund Act in connection
with the cost of cleaning up one site in Diaz, Arkansas and has entered into a de minimis buyout agreement with
certain other potentially responsible parties, pursuant to which it has contributed $2,000 to date toward cleanup
costs. O'Sullivan believes that amounts it may be required to pay in the future, if any, will be immaterial.

Retirement Agreements. In October 1998, O'Sullivan Holdings entered into a Retirement and Consulting
Agreement, Release and Waiver of Claims with Daniel F. O'Sullivan. Under the retirement agreement, as amended
in May 1999, Mr. O'Sullivan resigned as Chief Executive Officer in October 1998 and retired as an executive on
March 31, 2000. O'Sullivan Holdings agreed to pay Mr. O'Sullivan $42,160 per month for 36 months after his
retirement and then to pay him $11,458 per month until he reaches age 65. The final $42,160 payment was made in
March 2003. Payments under Mr. O'Sullivan's retirement and consulting agreement amount to an aggregate of $2.2
million and a present value of approximately $1.9 million. During this period, Mr. O'Sullivan is required to provide
consulting, marketing and promotional services with respect to O'Sullivan's manufacturing activities and relations
with major customers, if requested by O'Sullivan Holdings, from time to time. Mr. O'Sullivan has agreed not to
compete with O'Sullivan during the period he is a consultant. O'Sullivan Holdings will also provide Mr. O'Sullivan
with health insurance during the term of the agreement and thereafter until he becomes eligible for Medicare and life
insurance during the term of the agreement. In July 2004, the agreement was amended to add O'Sullivan Industries
as a party with the right to enforce Mr. O'Sullivan's covenants directly and the joint obligation to make payments to
Mr. O'Sullivan.

Tyrone E. Riegel, O'Sullivan's former Executive Vice President, entered into an early retirement agreement
with O'Sullivan. Pursuant to the agreement, he retired effective November 15, 2003. O'Sullivan paid him $335,337
in a lump sum on January 2, 2004, and agreed to pay him $5,000 per month for thirty months, beginning May 15,
2005. In addition, O'Sullivan will pay health insurance for Mr. Riegel and his family through November 15, 2007.
Mr. Riegel has agreed to act as our consultant through November 15, 2007 and has agreed not to compete with
O'Sullivan through that period. In addition, O'Sullivan's Compensation Committee has approved an amendment to
Mr. Riegel's common stock option agreement that permits him to retain his options after he is no longer an
O'Sullivan employee. His options will continue to vest as though he were still an O'Sullivan employee.

Note 16 - Major Customers.

Sales to four customers exceeded 10% of gross sales in fiscal 2004. Sales to such customers as a
percentage of gross sales were:

Note 17 - Segment Information.

O'Sullivan operates in one industry segment: the design, manufacture and sale of ready-to-assemble
furniture.

O'Sullivan sells its products throughout the United States and in Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom,
Australia and other countries. Export sales were $24.1 million, $19.8 million and $19.1 million in fiscal 2004, 2003
and 2002, respectively. Long-lived assets located outside the United States are immaterial.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

None

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

O'Sullivan maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in
O'Sullivan's Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately within the time
periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to
O'Sullivan's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized
that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance
of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was necessarily required to apply its judgment in
evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, O'Sullivan carried out an evaluation, 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. Based on the foregoing, O'Sullivan's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that
O'Sullivan's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There have been no changes in O'Sullivan's internal controls over financial reporting identified in the
evaluation described above that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, O'Sullivan's
internal control over financial reporting.

Our Audit Committee is composed of Mr. Harold O. Rosser. The Board of Directors has not determined
that any member of the Committee is an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 401(h)(2) of
Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities Exchange Commission. While O'Sullivan considers that Mr. Rosser is
financially literate and able to understand financial statements, he does not have the experience required by
Item 401(h)(2). We are looking for an additional member of the Audit Committee who would be designated as an
audit committee financial expert.

EMPLOYMENT AND SEVERANCE AGREEMENTS

Robert S. Parker. On May 17, 2004, we entered into an employment agreement with Robert S. Parker. The
term of the agreement is two years, and is automatically renewed on a year-to-year basis unless either party provides
at least 30 days' notice of termination. The agreement will terminate upon Mr. Parker's death, permanent disability
or resignation, and O'Sullivan may terminate the agreement for any reason with 30 days' notice. Mr. Parker's initial
base compensation is $1,000,000 per year, and he has the opportunity to earn a bonus of up to 50% of his base
compensation subject to the achievement of certain performance targets determined by the Board. Mr. Parker is
entitled to participate in all employee benefit programs offered to our other executive employees, provided that such
programs are not to be less than those provided him by his previous employer.

If we terminate Mr. Parker's employment other than for cause (as defined in the agreement), or if Mr. Parker
resigns within 30 days after we (a) substantially diminish his title or responsibilities, (b) require him to relocate from
the greater metropolitan Atlanta area or (c) materially breach the employment agreement, we will pay him his salary
and benefits for the longer of twelve months or the remaining portion of the initial term of the employment
agreement. If the agreement is terminated because Mr. Parker resigns for reasons other than those described in the
preceding sentence, or if we terminate his employment because of his death, disability or for cause, we will pay him
his salary through his termination date.

In connection with Mr. Parker's employment with O'Sullivan, we entered into an executive stock agreement
with him. Pursuant to the executive stock agreement, we sold Mr. Parker

o 467,614 shares of the Company's Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a price of
$0.01 per share;

o 291,905 shares of the Company's Series B junior preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a
price of $0.01 per share; and

o and 40,000 shares of the Company's Series C junior preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a
price of $0.10 per share.

The shares were issued to Mr. Parker in July 2004 upon his payment of the purchase price. Mr. Parker's shares will
"vest" pro rata over a five year period ending on June 1, 2009, or sooner upon a sale of O'Sullivan, if Mr. Parker is
still employed by O'Sullivan. Pursuant to the executive stock agreement, if Mr. Parker's employment with O'Sullivan

terminates for any reason, O'Sullivan and BRS will have the option to repurchase Mr. Parker's stock. The purchase
price for unvested shares is the lower of Mr. Parker's original cost or the fair value of the shares. The purchase price
for vested shares is fair value.

Rick A. Walters. In June 2004, we entered into an employment agreement with Rick A. Walters for him to
serve as our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. The term of the agreement is one year, and the
term is automatically renewed on a year-to-year basis unless either party provides at least 30 days' notice of
termination. The agreement will terminate upon Mr. Walter's death, permanent disability or resignation, and
O'Sullivan may terminate the agreement for any reason with 30 days' notice. Mr. Walter's initial base compensation
is $250,000 per year, and he has the opportunity to earn a bonus of up to 80% of his base compensation subject to
the achievement of certain performance targets determined by the Board. The agreement provides that Mr. Walters'
bonus for fiscal 2005 will not be less than $200,000. Mr. Walters is entitled to participate in all employee benefit
programs offered to our other executive employees, provided that such programs are not to be less than those
provided him by his previous employer.

If we terminate Mr. Walters' employment other than for cause (as defined in the agreement), or if
Mr. Walters resigns within 30 days after we substantially diminish his title or responsibilities or materially breach the
employment agreement, we will pay him his salary and benefits for twelve months. If the agreement is terminated
because Mr. Walters resigns for reasons other than those described in the preceding sentence, or if we terminate his
employment because of his death, disability or for cause, we will pay him his salary through his termination date.

In connection with Mr. Walters' employment with O'Sullivan, we entered into an executive stock agreement
with him. Pursuant to the executive stock agreement, we sold Mr. Walters

o 116,904 shares of the Company's Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a price of
$0.01 per share;

o 46,090 shares of the Company's Series B junior preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a
price of $0.01 per share; and

o and 5,000 shares of the Company's Series C junior preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a
price of $0.10 per share.

The shares were issued to Mr. Walters in August 2004 upon his payment of the purchase price. Mr. Walters' shares
will "vest" pro rata over a five year period ending on June 1, 2009, or sooner upon a sale of O'Sullivan, if
Mr. Walters is still employed by O'Sullivan. Pursuant to the executive stock agreement, if Mr. Walters' employment
with O'Sullivan terminates for any reason, O'Sullivan and BRS will have the option to repurchase Mr. Walters' stock.
The purchase price for unvested shares is the lower of Mr. Walters' original cost or the fair value of the shares. The
purchase price for vested shares is fair value.

Michael D. Orr. In July 2004, we hired Michael D. Orr as our Executive Vice President-Operations. The
term of the agreement is one year, and the term is automatically renewed on a year-to-year basis unless either party
provides at least 30 days' notice of termination. The agreement will terminate upon Mr. Orr's death, permanent
disability or resignation, and O'Sullivan may terminate the agreement for any reason with 30 days' notice. Mr. Orr's
initial base compensation is $230,000 per year, and he has the opportunity to earn a bonus of up to 80% of his base
compensation subject to the achievement of certain performance targets determined by the Board. The agreement
provides that Mr. Orr's bonus for fiscal 2005 will not be less than $184,000. Mr. Orr is entitled to participate in all
employee benefit programs offered to our other executive employees, provided that such programs are not to be less
than those provided him by his previous employer.

If we terminate Mr. Orr's employment other than for cause (as defined in the agreement), or if Mr. Orr
resigns within 30 days after we substantially diminish his title or responsibilities or materially breach the
employment agreement, we will pay him his salary and benefits for twelve months. If the agreement is terminated

because Mr. Orr resigns for reasons other than those described in the preceding sentence, or if we terminate his
employment because of his death, disability or for cause, we will pay him his salary through his termination date.

In connection with Mr. Orr's employment with O'Sullivan, we entered into an executive stock agreement
with him. Pursuant to the executive stock agreement, we sold Mr. Orr

o 116,904 shares of the Company's Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a price of
$0.01 per share;

o 46,090 shares of the Company's Series B junior preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a
price of $0.01 per share; and

o and 5,000 shares of the Company's Series C junior preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a
price of $0.10 per share.

The shares were issued to Mr. Orr in July 2004 upon his payment of the purchase price. Mr. Orr's shares will "vest"
pro rata over a five year period ending on June 1, 2009, or sooner upon a sale of O'Sullivan, if Mr. Orr is still
employed by O'Sullivan. Pursuant to the executive stock agreement, if Mr. Orr's employment with O'Sullivan
terminates for any reason, O'Sullivan and BRS will have the option to repurchase Mr. Orr's stock. The purchase
price for unvested shares is the lower of Mr. Orr's original cost or the fair value of the shares. The purchase price for
vested shares is fair value.

Retirement and Severance Agreements

Tyrone E. Riegel entered into an early retirement agreement with O'Sullivan and retired as our Executive
Vice President effective November 15, 2003. O'Sullivan paid him $335,336.54 in a lump sum on January 2, 2004,
and has agreed to pay him $5,000 per month for thirty months, beginning May 15, 2005. In addition, we will pay
health insurance for Mr. Riegel and his family through November 15, 2007. Mr. Riegel has agreed to act as our
consultant through November 15, 2007 and has agreed not to compete with us through that period. In addition, the
Compensation Committee has approved an amendment to Mr. Riegel's common stock option agreement that permits
him to retain his options after he is no longer an O'Sullivan employee. His options will continue to vest as though he
were still an O'Sullivan employee.

We are negotiating severance agreements with several executive officers who have left O'Sullivan since
May 2004.

CHANGE IN CONTROL PROTECTIONS

O'Sullivan Holdings has termination protection agreements with its executive officers other than Messrs.
Parker, Walters and Orr (who have severance provisions incorporated in their respective employment agreements).
If the employment of a protected employee is terminated by us within a period of up to 24 months after a change in
control, the employee will be entitled to receive various benefits. These benefits include:

1. a cash payment equal to the current base salary and highest bonus received in the previous three years;
2. a cash payment equal to the bonus earned by the employee in the year of termination, calculated on a pro
rated basis on the date of termination;
3. a cash payment equal to accrued and unpaid vacation pay;
4. a cash payment for an automobile allowance of 12 months;
5. continued life and health insurance coverage for up to 12 months;
6. a lump sum payment, adjusted for taxes, to the employee in an amount equal to the protected employee's
unvested profit sharing account in the Savings and Profit Sharing Plan;

7. a cash payment based on the amount that the protected employee would have received under our Deferred
Compensation Plan had he continued to work for O'Sullivan until he attained the age of 65;
8. all outstanding stock options vest and become immediately exercisable;
9. O'Sullivan will be required to purchase for cash any shares of unrestricted common stock and options for
shares at the fair market value;
10. one year of outplacement services;
11. for certain executive officers, if the protected employee moves more than 20 miles from his primary
residence in order to accept permanent employment within 36 months after leaving O'Sullivan, we will
repurchase the employee's primary residence; and
12. if the executive officer is required to pay an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue code
of 1986, we will pay the employee an additional amount to offset the effect of the tax.

The agreements for certain executive officers also provide for cash payments in lieu of matching payments
under the Savings and Profit Sharing Plan. The agreements for certain executive officers also provide that, in some
circumstances, they may voluntarily leave our employment after a change in control and receive the benefits under
the protection agreements. These circumstances include:

o an adverse change in the executive's status, title or duties;
o a reduction in the executive's salary or bonus;
o relocation of the executive's office to a site which is more than 20 miles from its present location;
o a reduction in the executive's benefit levels;
o the insolvency or bankruptcy of O'Sullivan; or
o the executive leaves the employment of O'Sullivan for any reason during the 60-day period beginning on
the first anniversary of the change in control.

The employment agreements for Messrs. Parker, Walters and Orr contain severance provisions as described
under "--Employment Agreements" above.

The table below sets forth the total payments that may be received by each of the named officers if these
persons are terminated during fiscal 2005, assuming the provisions of his employment agreement or Termination
Protection Agreement were applicable. The values of non-cash benefits have been included on the basis of their
estimated fair value. These amounts do not include any payments to be received for shares of O'Sullivan stock or
options to acquire O'Sullivan stock. These amounts also do not include payments which we would make to offset the
effect of excise taxes or to purchase any officer's home. We have assumed for this purpose that the named officers
are terminated on September 30, 2004.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

The members of the O'Sullivan Holdings Compensation Committee are Harold O. Rosser, Richard R. Leonard
and Charles Macaluso. No member of the Compensation Committee was an officer or employee of O'Sullivan
Holdings or its subsidiaries during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. None were formerly an officer of O'Sullivan
Holdings or any of its subsidiaries. In addition, no executive officer of O'Sullivan serves on the board of directors or
the compensation committee of another entity where a committee member is employed. Mr. Rosser is a managing
director, and Mr. Leonard is a Vice President, of the general partner of BRS, which owns 72% of our Class A
common stock. BRS, LLC and O'Sullivan Industries have entered into a Management Services Agreement pursuant
to which BRS, LLC provides general management services, assistance with the negotiation and analysis of financial
alternatives and other services for O'Sullivan Industries. In exchange for these services, O'Sullivan Industries pays
BRS, LLC a fee equal to the greater of 1.0% of O'Sullivan Industries' consolidated cash flow or $300,000. See Item
13, "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."

DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION

Directors of O'Sullivan who are not employees or consultants of O'Sullivan, BRS or affiliates of either of them
are paid $7,500 per meeting held in person and $2,500 per telephone conference meeting (with all meetings that
occur on the same day being considered as one meeting). The chairmen of the compensation committee and the
audit committee each receive an additional $1,000 per year if not employed by BRS or its affiliates. Expenses of
attendance at meetings are paid by O'Sullivan. Directors who are not employees of O'Sullivan, BRS or affiliates of
either of them will also receive a one-time option to purchase shares of common stock of O'Sullivan. The normal
exercise price of the options is fair market value on the date of grant, and the options normally vest in equal
installments over three years. The number of option shares is negotiated; Mr. Macaluso's grant is pending.
Employees and consultants of O'Sullivan do not receive additional compensation for their service as a director other
than payment of expenses, if any, to attend a meeting.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

Casey O'Sullivan, a son of Daniel F. O'Sullivan, works at Sun Container, a supplier of corrugated boxes to
O'Sullivan, although he does not call regularly on O'Sullivan. Ryan Fullerton, a son-in-law of E. Thomas Riegel, our
former Vice President-Strategic Operations, worked for Sun Container in the past, although he did not call on
O'Sullivan. In fiscal 2004, O'Sullivan paid Sun $5.1 million for corrugated boxes. We have followed the practice of
awarding purchase orders for cartons for a model to the lowest bidder for the carton. These relationships have been
approved pursuant to O'Sullivan's conflict of interest policy.

World Charter Trading, Inc. is a corporation owned by the son of Richard D. Davidson, our former
president and chief executive officer and one of our directors. WCT sources furniture and other products from the
Far East. During fiscal 2004, we paid WCT $3.4 million for furniture it sold to us. We source furniture products
from the Far East from different sources; we select the best vendor for a product based on price, quality, and ability
to make timely deliveries. Mr. Davidson is not involved in the sourcing of furniture through WCT. This relationship
has been approved pursuant to O'Sullivan's conflict of interest policy. It is also monitored by O'Sullivan Holdings'
Audit Committee.

Mr. Bill Hillman, a brother of Jim Hillman, our former Vice President-Human Resources, operated a
furniture factory outlet store until it closed during fiscal 2004. The store purchased $75,000 of furniture from us
during fiscal 2004. We sold to Mr. Hillman on terms and conditions available to other similarly situated customers.
This relationship was approved pursuant to O'Sullivan's conflict of interest policy.

In connection with the November 1999 recapitalization and merger, O'Sullivan Holdings loaned Stuart D.
Schotte, Vice President-Supply Chain Management, $256,831 to purchase O'Sullivan Holdings common stock and
Series B junior preferred stock. The loan bears interest at 9% per annum simple interest and is payable on
November 30, 2009 or earlier if there is a change in control of O'Sullivan Holdings. The note is with full recourse to
Mr. Schotte. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, the largest amount outstanding under the note, including
principal and interest, was $336,720, which was also the amount outstanding on June 30, 2004.

BRS, LLC Management Services Agreement

At the closing of the 1999 recapitalization and merger, we entered into a management services agreement
with BRS, LLC. Under the terms of this agreement, BRS, LLC provides:

o general management services;
o assistance with the negotiation and analysis of financial alternatives; and
o other services agreed upon by BRS, LLC.

In exchange for these services, BRS, LLC will earn an annual fee equal to the greater of:

o 1.0% of our annual consolidated cash flow (as defined in the indenture related to the our senior
subordinated notes); or
o $300,000.

The credit agreement, the indentures for our senior secured notes and the management services agreement
all contain certain restrictions on the payment of the management fee. The management services agreement, among
other things, provides that no cash payment of the management fee will be made unless the fixed charge coverage
ratio (as defined in the indenture for our senior subordinated notes) for our most recently ended four full fiscal
quarters for which internal financial statements are available to management immediately preceding the date when
the management fee is to be paid is at least 2.0 to 1. Similarly, the indenture for our 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 our 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 us from
paying fees or 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. The management services agreement also provides that the payment of all
fees and other obligations under the management services agreement will be subordinated to the prior payment in full
in cash of all interest, principal and other obligations on our senior subordinated notes in the event of a bankruptcy,
liquidation or winding-up of O'Sullivan.

Pursuant to the management services agreement and the provisions of our debt agreements, we did not pay
any amounts to BRS, LLC in fiscal 2004. At June 30, 2004, the amount accrued under the agreement, which
represents the fee for fiscal 2004 less a prepaid balance at July 1, 2003 of $147,000, was $153,000.

Retirement Agreements

In October 1998, O'Sullivan Holdings entered into a Retirement and Consulting Agreement, Release and
Waiver of Claims with Daniel F. O'Sullivan. Under the retirement agreement, as amended in May 1999,
Mr. O'Sullivan resigned as Chief Executive Officer in October 1998 and retired as an executive on March 31, 2000.
O'Sullivan Holdings agreed to pay Mr. O'Sullivan $42,160 per month for 36 months after his retirement and then to
pay him $11,458 per month until he reaches age 65. Payments under Mr. O'Sullivan's retirement and consulting
agreement amount to an aggregate of $2.2 million and a present value of approximately $1.9 million. During this
period, Mr. O'Sullivan is required to provide consulting, marketing and promotional services with respect to our
manufacturing activities and relations with major customers, if requested by us, from time to time. Mr. O'Sullivan
has agreed not to compete with us during the period he is a consultant. O'Sullivan Holdings will also provide Mr.
O'Sullivan with health insurance during the term of the agreement and thereafter until he becomes eligible for
Medicare and life insurance during the term of the agreement. In July 2004, we amended the agreement to add
O'Sullivan Industries as a party with the right to enforce Mr. O'Sullivan's covenants directly and the joint obligation
to make payments to Mr. O'Sullivan.

See "Executive Compensation--Employment and Severance Agreements" for a description of certain
retirement and other agreements of certain of our former executive officers.
