                          Independent Auditors' Report


The Board of Directors
Strategic Supply, Inc.:


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Strategic
Supply, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Strategic Distribution, Inc.
(Parent), and subsidiary as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related
consolidated statements of operations and retained earnings (accumulated
deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 1996. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Strategic Supply,
Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

As described in note 2, on May 27, 1997, the Parent entered into an agreement
to sell the Company. As a result of that transaction, the Company has written
off its goodwill and certain other intangible assets as of December 31, 1996.

                     STRATEGIC SUPPLY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


(1)      Description of Business

         The Company is a leading provider of industrial supply services to
commercial and industrial customers in the western United States. On May 24,
1996, the Company (formerly SafetyMaster Corporation) and Lewis Supply
(Delaware), Inc. ("Lewis") were merged (The "Merger"). The Company was the
surviving corporation of the Merger. The related companies were wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Strategic Distribution, Inc. (the "Parent"). Accordingly, the
Merger has been accounted for on an as if pooling basis in all periods
presented. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent.

         On May 27, 1997, the Parent entered into an agreement to sell the
Company. The purchase price was net tangible assets, as defined therein.

(2)      Significant Accounting Policies

         Principles of Consolidation

         The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Coulson Technologies, Inc. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires estimates and
assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed in the financial
statements and related notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

         Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments

         The carrying amount of the Company's financial instruments approximate
fair value due to their short maturity and variable interest rate feature.

         Inventories

         Inventories of finished goods are stated at the lower of cost
(first-in, first-out basis) or market.

         Property and Equipment

         Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is
calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over
the shorter of the remaining life of the asset or the lease term. Maintenance
and repairs are charged to expense. Major renewals and improvements are
capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset.
Estimated useful lives are as follows:

               Building                                   20 years

               Leasehold improvements                   5-14 years
               Transportation equipment                  4-8 years
</TABLE>

         Intangible Assets

         Excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired ("Goodwill") is
net of accumulated amortization of $377,000 at December 31, 1995.

         On May 27, 1997, the Parent entered into an agreement to sell the
Company. The purchase price was net tangible assets, as defined therein, plus
an earn-out note, payable only upon achievement of certain profitability levels
over the next five years. Due to the uncertainty of achieving these
profitability levels, the Company has written off $2,836,363 of Goodwill and
other intangible assets. This write-off has been recorded in "Special Charges"
in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Retained Earnings
(Accumulated Deficit).

         Income Taxes

         The Parent and the Company file consolidated federal and state income
tax returns. Income taxes in these financial statements have been calculated as
if the Company had filed separate tax returns. Accordingly, in some instances,
the amounts recorded may differ from those included in the consolidated tax
returns.

         Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and
operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

(3)      Accounts Receivable

         Accounts receivable is net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of
$71,000 and $171,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

(5)      Related - Party Transactions

         The Company has received advances from the Parent. The Company's
results include an allocation from the Parent for interest expense. The
Parent's interest expense is allocated based upon the pro rata share of
intercompany borrowings. The allocated interest expense was $-0-, $20,000 and
$49,000 for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

         Included in selling, general and administrative expenses are certain
allocated expenses of the Parent of approximately $71,000, $215,000 and
$440,000 for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
These charges are to cover expenses incurred by the Parent to provide primarily
accounting and legal services to the Company. Management believes the
allocations are reasonable. Because of the relationship between the Company and
its Parent, the amount of these transactions reflected in the accompanying
financial statements may not have been the same as they would have been among
unaffiliated parties.

(8)      Acquisition

         On June 16, 1994, the Company acquired certain assets of the
Industrial Supplies Division of Lufkin Industries, Inc. ("the Lufkin
Division"). The purchase price consisted of: (i) $2,040,000 in cash and (ii) a
mortgage note in the amount of $600,000. The source of the cash portion of the
purchase price was borrowings under a revolving bank facility.

         The method of accounting for this acquisition was the purchase
accounting method. The results of operations of the Lufkin Division are
included in the Company's statements of operations from the date of
acquisition.

(9)      Restructuring Charge

         In connection with the Merger, the Company recorded a restructuring
charge aggregating $877,620 for employee termination benefits, asset write-offs
and lease payments. The termination benefits were paid and asset write-offs
were recorded in 1996, and lease payments will be made in accordance with their
original terms. As of December 31, 1996, the remaining restructuring liability
was approximately $131,000, which represented unpaid leases.

         In addition, the Company incurred approximately $485,000 of one-time
expenses associated with the Merger and branch closings, which amount has been
included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

(10)     Retirement Plan

         The Company has a qualified defined contribution plan (the "Retirement
Savings Plan") for employees who meet certain eligibility requirements.
Contributions to the Retirement Savings Plan are at the discretion of the Board
of Directors and are limited to the amount deductible for Federal income tax
purposes. The expense for the Retirement Savings Plan was $23,848, $31,671 and
$24,580 for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

         In 1994, 1995 and 1996, the Parent had no federal or state
consolidated tax liabilities allocable to the Company, therefore no taxes are
due to or from the Parent under a tax sharing provision. Accordingly, the 1994
and 1995 current expenses of $302,000 and $574,000, respectively, have been
reported as contribution to capital in 1994 and 1995 and the 1996 tax benefit
of $682,000 has been reported as a reduction to contributed capital.

                     STRATEGIC SUPPLY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                 March 31, 1997


Note 1:  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. Strategic
Supply, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") believes that the
presentations and disclosures herein are adequate to make the information not
misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all
elimination entries and adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods.

The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. These
condensed consolidated financial statements were part of the financial
statements of Strategic Distribution, Inc., a reporting company (the "Parent"),
and should be read in conjunction with the Parent's audited consolidated
financial statements included in the Parent's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1996.

Note 2:  The Company

The Company is a leading provider of industrial supply services to commercial
and industrial customers in the western United States. On May 24, 1996, the
Company (formerly SafetyMaster Corporation) and Lewis Supply (Delaware), Inc.
("Lewis") were merged (the "Merger"). The Company was the surviving corporation
of the Merger. The related companies were wholly-owned subsidiaries of the
Parent. Accordingly, the Merger has been accounted for on an as if pooling
basis in all periods presented. The Company was a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Parent until May 30, 1997 when substantially all of the assets and
operations of the Company were acquired by DXP Enterprises, Inc., a Texas
corporation (the "Registrant").

Note 3:  Inventory

Inventories of finished goods are stated at the lower of cost (first-in,
first-put basis) or market.

Note 4:  Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt consists of several loans with a weighted average interest rates
of 7.5% at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996. The maturity of long term
obligations during the next four years are:
1997:  $339,470; 1998: $29,950; 1999: $18,461 and 2000; $461,793.


Note 5:  Subsequent Events

On June 2, 1997, substantially all of the assets of the Company were acquired
by a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant. The acquisition was pursuant to
an Asset Purchase Agreement dated May 27, 1997, among the Company, Coulson
Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, the Parent, Strategic Acquisition,
Inc. a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant, and
the Registrant. The purchase price, which is subject to adjustment, consisted
of approximately $4.1 million

in existing cash, assumption of approximately $4.7 million of trade payables
and other accrued expenses, $2.8 million in promissory notes payable to the
Company and earn-out payments based on the earnings before interest and taxes
of the Company to be paid over a period of approximately six years, which
earn-out payments shall not exceed $3.5 million.

               UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheets as of March 31, 1997 and
unaudited pro forma combined statements of earnings for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 and the year ended December 31, 1996 give effect to the
acquisition by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant of substantially all
of the assets of Strategic on June 2, 1997. The unaudited pro forma combined
statements of earnings assume all such transactions occurred at the beginning
of the periods presented. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheets
assume all such transactions occurred at the end of the periods presented.

   The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements may not be indicative
of the results that would have occurred if the combination had been in effect
on the dates indicated or which may occur in the future. The unaudited pro
forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements of Strategic, which are included elsewhere in
this Current Report.
