1.   ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 1996, for Kevco,
Inc. includes a summary of significant accounting policies and should be read in
conjunction  with this Form 10-Q.  Prior to the  effective  date of the  initial
public offering (see Note 3), Kevco, Inc.  restructured and created an operating
company subsidiary with a subsidiary.  As a result, the financial statements are
referred to as consolidated financial statements.  The accompanying consolidated
financial  statements  of Kevco,  Inc. and its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  (the
"Company")  have been  prepared  pursuant  to the rules and  regulations  of the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all
of the  information  and  footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting
principles   ("GAAP")  for  complete  financial   statements.   All  significant
intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

In the opinion of management,  the consolidated financial statements contain all
adjustments,   consisting  only  of  normal  recurring  adjustments,  considered
necessary  for a fair  statement  of the balance  sheets as of June 30, 1997 and
December 31, 1996,  the statements of income for the  three-month  and six-month
periods  ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 and the  statements  of cash flows for the
six-month  periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.  The results of operations  for
the  three-month  and six-month  periods ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative  of the  results of  operations  for the entire  fiscal  year  ending
December 31, 1997.

On August 29, 1996, the Company effected a 0.47-for-1 reverse stock split of its
common stock and retired its treasury  shares.  All share and per share  amounts
included  in the  accompanying  financial  statements  and  footnotes  have been
restated to reflect the reverse stock split.


2.   ACQUISITIONS

On February 27, 1997, the Company acquired  substantially all of the assets, and
assumed  certain   liabilities,   of  Consolidated   Forest   Products,   L.L.C.
("Consolidated")  (the  "Consolidated   Acquisition")  for  approximately  $14.0
million. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and,  accordingly,  the
operating results of Consolidated have been included in the operating results of
the Company since February 27, 1997. The acquisition  cost in excess of the fair
value of net assets of  Consolidated  of  approximately  $9.6  million  has been
accounted for as goodwill and will be amortized  over its estimated  useful life
of 40 years.

On February 28, 1997,  the Company  purchased  all of the capital stock of Bowen
Supply,  Inc.  ("Bowen")  (the  "Bowen  Acquisition")  for  approximately  $19.5
million. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and,  accordingly,  the
operating  results of Bowen have been included in the  operating  results of the
Company  since  February 28, 1997.  The  acquisition  cost in excess of the fair
value of net assets of Bowen of  approximately  $14.9 million has been accounted
for as  goodwill  and will be  amortized  over its  estimated  useful life of 40
years.

3.   INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

In November 1996, the Company  completed an initial public offering of 2,415,000
shares of the  Company's  common stock  (including an  over-allotment  option of
315,000  shares  exercised  in  December  1996) for $12.00  per  share,  netting
proceeds  to  the  Company   after   underwriting   discounts  and  expenses  of
approximately  $26.0 million.  Proceeds to the Company were used to repay all of
the outstanding balance of the Company's $20.0 million revolving credit facility
of $9.0 million and a permanent  reduction of all of the outstanding  balance of
the Company's term loan of $13.9  million.  Proceeds were also used to make an S
corporation  distribution of approximately $3.7 million representing  previously
taxed but undistributed earnings through June 30, 1996 (see Note 7 and 8).

4.   INVENTORIES

Inventories are comprised of the following (in thousands):

4.   INVENTORIES (continued)

During the second quarter of 1997, the Company  adopted the FIFO method to value
inventories  for  which  the  LIFO  method  had  previously  been  utilized  for
determining  cost. The FIFO method will better measure the current value of such
inventories,  provide a more appropriate matching of revenues and expenses,  and
conform  all  inventories  of  the  Company  to  the  same  accounting   method.
Additionally,  the  change  will  enhance  the  comparability  of the  Company's
financial  statements  by changing  to the  predominant  method  utilized in its
industry.

The Company applied this change retroactively,  which resulted in an increase in
retained  earnings  of  $789,000  and  $787,000  at  January  1,  1997 and 1996,
respectively.  There was no material  impact on net income or earnings per share
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.

5.   PRO FORMA INFORMATION

Pro forma net income for 1996  represents the results of operations  adjusted to
reflect a provision for income taxes on  historical  income before income taxes,
which  gives  effect to the  change in the  Company's  income  tax status to a C
corporation  concurrently  with the consummation of the Company's initial public
offering. The difference between the pro forma income tax rates utilized and the
federal statutory rate of 34% relates primarily to state income taxes.

Pro forma  earnings  per share for 1996 has been  computed by dividing pro forma
net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock  outstanding
during the period.

In accordance with a regulation of the Securities and Exchange  Commission,  pro
forma earnings per share data for 1996 have been presented to reflect the effect
of the  assumed  issuance  of that  number of shares of common  stock that would
generate sufficient cash to pay an S corporation distribution in an amount equal
to previously taxed but undistributed earnings.

Historical  earnings  per  share  for 1996 is not  presented  because  it is not
indicative of the ongoing entity.

6.   INCOME TAXES

Prior to November 6, 1996,  the Company's  stockholders  had elected to be taxed
under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal  Revenue Code. As a result,
there was no  provision  for federal  income taxes in the  historical  financial
statements  for the  three-month  and six-month  periods ended June 30, 1996, as
such taxes were the  responsibility  of the individual  stockholders.  Effective
November 6, 1996, the Company converted to a C corporation and became subject to
federal income taxes on an ongoing basis.

7.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

In conjunction  with its initial public offering,  the Company  terminated its S
corporation  status  and  distributed  to its  stockholders  approximately  $3.7
million,  representing  previously taxed but undistributed  earnings at June 30,
1996.  On  December  31,  1996,  the  Company  repaid  notes in the  approximate
aggregate  amount of $5.2  million  that were  issued  immediately  prior to the
consummation  of  the  offering,  which  notes  were  the  final  S  corporation
distribution  and represented  earnings from July 1, 1996 to the consummation of
the offering.

8.   CREDIT AGREEMENT

In February  1997,  the Company and its lender  amended the credit  agreement in
order to fund the Consolidated  Acquisition and the Bowen  Acquisition (see Note
2).  The term debt was  increased  to $30.0  million  and the  revolving  credit
facility was increased to $35.0  million,  each maturing in 2001.  The Company's
term debt and revolver are collateralized by inventory,  accounts receivable and
property and equipment and the common stock of the Company's  subsidiaries  (see
Note  1).  The  related  credit  agreement  contains  certain  restrictions  and
conditions that include cash flow and various financial ratio requirements,  and
limitations  on  incurrence  on debt or  liens,  acquisitions  of  property  and
equipment,  distributions  to  shareholders  and certain  events  constituting a
Change of Control (as defined in such agreement).

9.   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In February 1997, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 128,  Earnings Per Share ("SFAS 128"). SFAS
128 simplifies the standards for computing earnings per share ("EPS") previously
found in APB Opinion No. 15,  Earnings Per Share  ("Opinion 15"), and makes them
comparable to international EPS standards. SFAS 128 replaces the presentation of
primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is
computed  by  dividing   income   available  to  common   stockholders   by  the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS
reflects  the  potential  dilution  that  could  occur  if  securities  or other
contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or
resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the
entity.  Diluted  EPS is computed  similarly  to fully  diluted EPS  pursuant to
Opinion 15. SFAS 128 also requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on
the face of the income  statement for entities with complex  capital  structures
and a  reconciliation  of  the  numerator  and  denominator  of  the  basic  EPS
computation  to the numerator and  denominator  of the diluted EPS  computation.
SFAS 128 is effective for financial  statements  issued for periods ending after
December  15,  1997,  including  interim  periods;  earlier  application  is not
permitted. SFAS 128 requires restatement of all prior-period EPS data presented.
The Company is  currently  evaluating  SFAS 128.  However,  management  does not
believe  that it will  have a  material  impact  on the  consolidated  financial
statements of the Company.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

         The following  discussion  includes the  operations of Kevco,  Inc. for
each of the periods  discussed.  This  discussion and analysis should be read in
conjunction  with the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1996.

         The  Company  recognizes  revenues  from  product  sales at the time of
shipment (or the time of product  receipt,  in the case of direct shipments from
suppliers to customers).  In some cases the Company sells on a commission basis.
Commissions are recognized when earned and represent  amounts earned in selling,
warehousing  and  delivering  products  for  certain  manufacturers  of building
products  with  which  the  Company  has  distribution  agreements.   Commission
arrangements do not require inventory investments or receivable  financing,  and
therefore  are  significantly  less  expensive to the Company  than  traditional
sales. To the extent the volume of items warehoused and shipped under commission
arrangements  increases  faster or slower  than the  volume of items  related to
traditional  sales,  changes  in net sales may not be  representative  of actual
increases or decreases in shipment volume.

ACQUISITIONS

         On  February  27,  1997,   the  Company   acquired   Consolidated   for
approximately  $13.0  million  in cash and  promissory  notes  in the  aggregate
original  principal  amount of approximately  $1.0 million,  with such aggregate
original   principal   amount   subject  to  potential   post-closing   downward
adjustments.  The acquisition  cost in excess of the fair value of net assets of
Consolidated resulted in goodwill of approximately $9.6 million.

         On February  28, 1997,  the Company  acquired  Bowen for  approximately
$18.0 million in cash and promissory notes in the aggregate  original  principal
amount of approximately  $1.5 million,  with such aggregate  original  principal
amount subject to potential  post-closing downward adjustments.  The acquisition
cost in excess of the fair value of net assets of Bowen  resulted in goodwill of
approximately $14.9 million.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The  following  table sets forth,  for the periods  indicated,  certain

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996

         Net sales  increased by $29.9 million,  or 41.9%, to $101.3 million for
the three month period ended June 30, 1997 from $71.4 million for the comparable
1996 period.  The net sales increase  primarily  resulted from the effect of the
Consolidated    Acquisition   and   Bowen   Acquisition    (collectively,    the
"Acquisitions")  consummated in February 1997. However,  net sales,  without the
effect of the  Acquisitions,  decreased from $71.4 million to $68.0  million,  a
decrease of 4.8%,  which is  comparable  to the reported  manufacturing  housing
shipment decline of 3.2% from January through May 1997, as compared to the prior
period. Sales to the manufactured housing industry represented approximately 90%
for the three months ended June 30, 1997.

         Gross profit increased by $3.0 million,  or 27.5%, to $13.9 million for
the three month period ended June 30, 1997 from $10.9 million for the comparable
1996 period due primarily to the Acquisitions. Gross profit, as a percent of net
sales,  decreased  to 13.7% for the three month  period ended June 30, 1997 from
15.2% for the comparable 1996 period.  Management  believes that the decrease in
gross profit,  as a percent of net sales,  is related  primarily to consistently
high lumber prices compared to relatively stable gross profit dollars associated
with the Company's wood products divisions, which divisions represent 40% of net
sales.

         Commission  income increased by $0.1 million,  or 6.7%, to $1.6 million
for the three  month  period  ended  June 30,  1997 from  $1.5  million  for the
comparable 1996 period. The increase was primarily attributable to the Company's
expansion in commission-based distribution arrangements.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $2.2 million,
or 27.8%,  to $10.1  million for the three month period ended June 30, 1997 from
$7.9 million for the comparable  1996 period.  The increase was primarily due to
increased  sales volume.  Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses,  as a
percent of net sales,  decreased to 10.0% for 1997 from 11.0% for the comparable
1996 period. The decrease reflects the Company's continued efforts in increasing
efficiency.

         Net income increased by $0.3 million, or 12.5%, to $2.7 million for the
three  months  ended June 30,  1997 from $2.4  million for the  comparable  1996
period on a pro forma basis giving effect to the Company's  conversion from an S
corporation  to a C  corporation.  The  increase  in  net  income  is  primarily
attributable to the increase in net sales due to the Acquisitions.

COMPARISON OF SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996

         Net sales  increased by $37.8 million,  or 27.9%, to $173.4 million for
the six month period ended June 30, 1997 from $135.6  million for the comparable
1996 period.  The net sales increase  primarily  resulted from the effect of the
Consolidated    Acquisition   and   Bowen   Acquisition    (collectively,    the
"Acquisitions") in February 1997. However,  net sales, without the effect of the
Acquisitions,  decreased  from $135.6 million to $128.9  million,  a decrease of
4.9%, which is comparable to the reported manufacturing housing shipment decline
of 3.2% from January through May 1997, as compared to the prior period. Sales to
the manufactured  housing  industry  represented  approximately  90% for the six
months ended June 30, 1997.

         Gross profit increased by $3.7 million,  or 18.2%, to $24.0 million for
the six month period ended June 30, 1997 from $20.3  million for the  comparable
1996 period due primarily to the Acquisitions. Gross profit, as a percent of net
sales,  decreased  to 13.8% for the six month  period  ended June 30,  1997 from
15.0% for the comparable 1996 period.  Management  believes that the decrease in
gross profit,  as a percent of net sales,  is related  primarily to consistently
high lumber prices compared to relatively stable gross profit dollars associated
with the Company's wood products divisions, which divisions represent 37% of net
sales.

         Commission  income increased by $0.2 million,  or 7.4%, to $2.9 million
for the six  month  period  ended  June  30,  1997  from  $2.7  million  for the
comparable 1996 period. The increase was primarily attributable to the Company's
expansion in commission-based distribution arrangements.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $2.8 million,
or 19.3%,  to $17.8  million for the six month  period  ended June 30, 1997 from
$15.0 million for the comparable 1996 period.  The increase was primarily due to
increased  sales volume.  Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses,  as a
percent of net sales,  decreased to 10.3% for 1997 from 11.0% for the comparable
1996 period. The decrease reflects the Company's continued efforts in increasing
efficiency.

         Net income increased by $0.3 million,  or 7.0%, to $4.6 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1997 from $4.3 million for the comparable  1996 period
on a pro  forma  basis  giving  effect  to the  Company's  conversion  from an S
corporation  to a C  corporation.  The  increase  in  net  income  is  primarily
attributable to the increase in net sales due to the Acquisitions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Historically,  the Company's growth has been financed through cash flow
from operations,  borrowings under its bank credit  facilities and the expansion
of trade credit. Net cash provided by operating  activities was $2.8 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1997. The Company's capital expenditures were $0.7
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

         In connection  with the acquisition of Service Supply at June 30, 1995,
the Company arranged for a term loan and a revolving credit facility with a bank
in the  aggregate  amount  of $35.0  million;  the term  loan  comprising  $15.0
million.  In November 1996, the Company  completed an initial public offering of
2,415,000 shares of the Company's stock (including an  over-allotment  option of
315,000  shares  exercised  in  December  1996) for $12.00  per  share,  netting
proceeds  to  the  Company   after   underwriting   discounts  and  expenses  of
approximately  $26.0  million.  A  portion  of the net  proceeds  of the  public
offering  was used to repay  all of the  outstanding  balance  of the  revolving
credit facility and to permanently  repay all of the  outstanding  balance under
the term loan. In February  1997,  the Company and its lender amended the credit
agreement  in order to fund the  Acquisitions.  The term debt was  increased  to
$30.0 million and the revolving  credit facility was increased to $35.0 million,
each maturing in 2001. The term debt will be payable $0 in 1997; $2.0 million in
1998;  $8.0 million in 1999;  $10.0 million in 2000;  and $10.0 million in 2001.
Interest is paid on the term loan at a blend of the bank's  prime rate and LIBOR
based  on  pricing  options  selected  by the  Company  plus a  margin  based on
operating  statistics of the Company (7.05% at June 30, 1997).  Borrowings under
the  revolving  credit  facility are due 2001,  and require  quarterly  interest
payments  currently based on a blend of the bank's prime rate and LIBOR based on
pricing  options  selected by the Company plus a margin  determined by operating
statistics  of the Company  (7.45% at June 30,  1997).  The  borrower  under the

                                       12
<PAGE>

credit  facility  is  one of  the  Company's  operating  subsidiaries,  and  the
obligations thereunder are guaranteed by the Company. The term debt and revolver
are  secured  by  substantially  all  of  the  assets  of the  Company  and  its
subsidiaries  as well as the  capital  stock of such  subsidiaries.  The related
credit agreement contains certain  restrictions and conditions that include cash
flow and various financial ratio requirements,  and limitations on incurrence on
debt or liens,  acquisitions  of  property  and  equipment  ,  distributions  to
shareholders and certain events  constituting a Change of Control (as defined in
such agreement).

         As  an  S   corporation,   the  Company  made   distributions   to  its
shareholders, including amounts equal to at least their federal and state income
tax  liabilities  attributable  to the Company's  earnings.  Distributions  were
generally made on a quarterly  basis as needed to satisfy such tax  liabilities.
Concurrent with the consummation of the offering,  the Company  converted to a C
corporation  and is now subject to federal and certain state taxes.  The Company
does not anticipate paying cash dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable
future and  intends to retain its  earnings  to support  operations  and finance
expansion.

         In conjunction with its initial public offering, the Company terminated
its S corporation status and distributed to its stockholders  approximately $3.7
million,  representing  previously taxed but undistributed  earnings at June 30,
1996.  On  December  31,  1996,  the  Company  repaid  notes in the  approximate
aggregate  amount of $5.2  million  that were  issued  immediately  prior to the
consummation  of  the  offering,  which  notes  were  the  final  S  corporation
distribution  and represented  earnings from July 1, 1996 to the consummation of
the offering.

ASSET MANAGEMENT

         The  Company  actively  manages  its  assets  and  liabilities  through
compensating  its corporate  and facility  managers for  receivable  collection,
inventory  control  and  profits  in  relation  to these and  other  net  assets
employed.

         For the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1997,  days  sales  in  average
receivables  was  approximately  22 days,  days sales in average  inventory  was
approximately  39 days and days sales in average  payables was  approximately 23
days.

        Earnings  per share is computed by dividing  net income by the  weighted
average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding. Common
share  equivalents  are computed  using the treasury  stock  method.  Under the
treasury stock method,  market  price is used to determine the number of common
share equivalents.

(1)  Net  income  for the  three and six  months  ended  June 30,  1996 has been
     adjusted to reflect a provision for income taxes, which gives effect to the
     change in the Company's  income tax status to a C corporation  concurrently
     with the consummation of the Company's initial public offering. (See Note 5
     to the Financial  Statements included in the Form 10-Q for which this forms
     an exhibit.)

(2)  Amount reflects the assumed  issuance of Common Stock at the initial public
     offering  price  per  share,  less  underwriting   discount,   to  generate
     sufficient    cash   to   fund   the    distribution    of    undistributed
     earnings previously  taxed  at the  stockholder  level.  (See Note 5 to the
     Financial  Statements  included  in the Form 10-Q for which  this  forms an
     exhibit.)

                        LETTER OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


Mr. Jerry Kimmel
Kevco, Inc.
P.O. Box 947015
Fort Worth, Texas  76146-9015

Dear Mr. Kimmel:

We are  providing  this letter to you for  inclusion  as an exhibit to your Form
10-Q filing pursuant to Item 601 of Regulation S-K.

We have read  management's  justification  for the change in accounting from the
last-in-first-out inventory valuation method to the first-in-first-out inventory
valuation method contained in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June
30,  1997.  Based  on our  reading  of the  data and  discussions  with  Company
officials of the business judgment and business planning factors relating to the
change, we believe management's justification to be reasonable.  Accordingly, in
reliance on management's  determination as regards elements of business judgment
and business  planning,  we concur that the newly adopted  accounting  principle
described  above is  preferable  in the  Company's  circumstances  to the method
previously applied.

We have not audited any financial  statements  of Kevco,  Inc. as of any date or
for any  period  subsequent  to  December  31,  1996,  nor have we  audited  the
application  of the change in  accounting  principle  disclosed  in Form 10-Q of
Kevco,  Inc. for the six months ended June 30, 1997;  accordingly,  our comments
are subject to revision on completion  of an audit of the  financial  statements
that include the accounting change.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P.


Fort Worth, Texas
July 21, 1997
