Item 2.02 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.

On May 11, 2005, Fedders Corporation (the "Company") filed a Form 12b-25 with
the Securities and Exchange Commission to report that it would not timely file
its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2005.
As part of the Form 12b-25 the Company disclosed the following financial
information:

     The Company anticipates as a result of increased inventory of room air
     conditioners in key North American markets, caused by cooler than normal
     summer weather in 2004, that net sales for the first quarter ended March
     31, 2005 will decrease approximately 38% from net sales of $123.2 million
     in the first quarter of 2004. During this period, the Company manufactured
     fewer room air conditioners than in the prior year in order to reduce
     inventories. Reduced production has the effect of increasing costs as a
     result of lower overhead absorption. The Company anticipates that despite
     increased costs related to lower overhead absorption and inflationary
     pressures on raw materials, its gross profit margin as a percentage of net
     sales has increased as a result of more favorable product mix and price
     increases initiated to offset material cost increases realized during
     2004. The Company anticipates that net loss during the quarter ended March
     31, 2005, will be somewhat less than the prior year net loss, which
     included a charge related to the extinguishment of debt of $7.4 million.


Item 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.

On May 11, 2005, the Company issued a press release announcing it was delaying
the filing of its Form 10-Q for its first fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2005.
The full text of the Company's press release is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
