       NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                                 MAY 31, 1997

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, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period
ended May 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending February 28, 1998. The sale of products by Pameco
Corporation (the "Company") is seasonal, with sales generally increasing during
the warmer months beginning in April and peak in the months of June, July, and
August. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form 
S-1 (No. 333-24043) and final prospectus dated June 4, 1997 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

         The balance sheet at February 28, 1997 included herein has been derived
from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.

2.       INVENTORIES

         Inventories consist of goods held for resale and are stated at the
lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method.

3.       INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

         On June 4, 1997 the Company completed an initial public offering
("IPO") of its Class A Common Stock. A total of 4,115,441 shares were sold at
$14 per share, including 536,797 shares sold pursuant to the underwriters
overallotment option and 578,644 shares sold by certain selling shareholders.
The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of Class
A Common Stock by the selling shareholders. The net proceeds to the Company were
approximately $45.4 million and were used to repay $11.1 million of outstanding
indebtedness to certain members and affiliates of a group of investors in the
Company, to repay approximately $33.1 million of the outstanding balance of the 
Company's $100.0 million revolving credit line (the "Working Capital Facility"),
and to repurchase 206,847 shares of Common Stock from certain shareholders,
including members of the aforementioned investor group, for an aggregate
purchase price of approximately $1.2 million.

         On June 3, 1997, Pameco Holdings Inc. ("PHI") and Pameco Corporation,
both Delaware corporations, were merged with and into the Company, and in
connection therewith the shareholders of PHI received 1.25 shares of the
Company's Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as agreed upon among
themselves, for each share of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of
PHI held by them immediately prior to the merger. The Company's Class A Common
Stock entitles its holder to one vote per share, whereas the Class B Common
Stock generally entitles its holder to ten votes per share.

         Prior to the IPO, certain shareholders of the Company agreed to sell to
the Company shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares issued as
certain stock options were exercised at a price equal to the exercise price of
such stock options. The Company has repurchased the 206,847 shares subject to
this arrangement from such investors, and such shares have been retired. Upon
exercise of these stock options, the Company will issue its Common Stock.

4.       EARNINGS PER SHARE


         Historical earnings per share was computed using the requirements of
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
83.

         Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 83, common stock and
common stock equivalents issued at prices below the initial public offering
price per share ("cheap stock") during the twelve month period immediately
preceding the initial filing date of the Company's Registration Statement for
the IPO have been included in historical earnings per share as if outstanding
for all periods presented (using the treasury stock method at the IPO price).

         Supplemental net income per common share was computed using the
weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding as
described above, and also considering the reduction in interest expense from the
repayment of long term debt of $44.2 million with proceeds of the IPO, as if
such shares had been issued and repayment had occurred at the beginning of the
fiscal period. Supplemental historical net income per share for the three months
ended May 31, 1997 was $.18.



5.       ACQUISITIONS

         In March 1997, the Company purchased the heating, ventilating, and air
conditioning ("HVAC") operations and related assets of Bellows-Evans, Inc., a
distributor of HVAC equipment in Birmingham, Alabama, a new market for the
Company. The acquired business had revenues in excess of $3.0 million for the
year ended May 31, 1996 and derived substantially all of its revenues from the
sale of HVAC products.

         In April 1997, the Company purchased the HVAC operations and related
assets of Trigg Supply, Inc., a distributor of HVAC products in Ft. Worth, 
Texas. The acquired business had revenues of approximately $1.3 million for the
year ended December 31, 1996 and derived all of its revenue from the sale of
HVAC products.


6.       RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS 128") which
is required to be adopted for the year ending February 28, 1998. At that time,
the Company will be required to change the method currently used to compute
earnings per share and restate prior periods. Under the new requirements for
calculating earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be
excluded. Management believes the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 128 will
not be material.

7.       CONTINGENCIES

         On November 18, 1996, United Refrigeration, Inc. ("United"), a
competitor of the Company, filed suit against Pameco in the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania claiming that Pameco had
tortiously interfered with United's alleged contract to purchase Sid Harvey's
southeastern business operations (the "Southeastern Assets"). United asserts
that beginning on or about August 23, 1996, it met with Sid Harvey and
thereafter negotiated an agreement (allegedly finalized on or about October 24,
1996) to purchase the Southeastern Assets for approximately $26 million and that
Pameco tortiously interfered with this alleged contract by offering "substantial
inducements" to Sid Harvey and by itself purchasing the Southeastern Assets. In
the alternative, United claims that, should the agreement be deemed
unenforceable, Pameco tortiously interfered with United's prospective
contractual relations with Sid Harvey. On February 18, 1997, United filed an
amended complaint adding Sid Harvey as a defendant. In the amended complaint,
United claims that Sid Harvey (i) breached its agreement to sell the
Southeastern Assets to United; (ii) committed fraud in the inducement of that
alleged contract; (iii) negligently misrepresented certain facts concerning the
sale of
                                       7
<PAGE>
 
the operations and Sid Harvey's intention to carry out the sale of those assets
and (iv) was unjustly enriched by certain information obtained from United
during the United-Sid Harvey negotiations.


         Although the amended complaint does not demand specified damages, it
asserts that United should recover the "loss of its bargain," which United
estimates to be $11.4 million. Upon consummation of the Southeastern Assets
acquisition, Pameco agreed, based on certain written representations made by Sid
Harvey about the status of its discussions with United, to indemnify Sid Harvey
against all liabilities arising out of any action filed by United in connection
with the purchase of the Southeastern Assets.

         On July 5, 1996, three former employees filed suit against Pameco and a
Company supervisor in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of
Stanislaus, alleging various tortious acts and that the Company maintained a
hostile work environment. The suit also asserts that in permitting the alleged
harassment of the plaintiffs by its supervisor that Pameco violated the
California Fair Employment Housing Act by failing to provide a harassment free
work place. The plaintiffs have cumulatively sought $1.8 million in damages,
including $1.5 million in punitive damages from Pameco.

         The Company is involved in other claims and legal proceedings which
have arisen in the ordinary course of its business. The Company intends to
vigorously defend all such claims and does not believe any such matters or the
actions described above will have a material adverse affect on the Company's
results of operations or financial condition.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



         Net sales of $113.7 million in the first quarter ended May 31, 1997
increased 20.6% from $94.3 million for the comparable period in 1996. Same store
daily sales increased 6.9% in the first quarter compared to the prior year.

         The net sales increase was a result of an 29.5% increase in the sales
of heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) products. This increase is
primarily attributable to sales increases in the Company's ThermalZone private
label equipment line. Other factors influencing this increase included marketing
programs focused at compensating for the effects of unseasonably mild weather in
a large portion of the United States this spring as compared to the same period
in the prior year. Sales of refrigeration equipment, parts, and supplies
increased 13.6% in the first quarter compared to the prior year.

         Gross profit in the quarter ended May 31, 1997 increased 20.9% to $26.6
million from $22.0 million in the previous year. The gross profit percentage
increased to 23.4% during the quarter ended May 31, 1997 as compared to 23.3%
during the previous year.


         Warehousing, selling, and administrative expenses during the first
quarter ended May 31, 1997 increased 19.1% to $23.5 million from $19.7 million
in the previous year. Specifically, distribution expenses increased 13.0% due to
additional costs incurred to support acquired branches. As a percentage of net
sales, warehousing, selling, and administrative expenses decreased to 20.7% from
20.9% in the 

                                       9

previous year. Similarly, distribution expenses decreased to 2.8% of net sales
from 3.0%. Salaries and wages also increased as the Company added to its sales
force at the local and national account levels.


         Interest expense during the quarter ended May 31, 1997 increased to
$1.2 million from $899,000 in the previous year. The Company's average
borrowings increased by $36.5 million in the three months ended May 31, 1997
over the previous year. In the past twelve months, the Company has incurred
additional borrowings for strategic acquisitions and the repurchase of common
and preferred stock in November 1996. The Company successfully completed a
refinancing of its Credit Facilities (as defined below), including the addition
of an accounts receivable program (the "Securitization Program"), in early 1996,
lowering the rate of interest that it pays on its debt. The Securitization
Program was recorded as a sale of assets; therefore, approximately $44.6 million
of accounts receivable and debt are not reflected on the Company's balance sheet
at May 31, 1997. The discount on the sale of accounts receivable of $669,000 and
$194,000 for the three months ended May 31, 1997 and May 31, 1996, respectively,
was recorded as other expense on the income statement. The Company also
refinanced its subordinated debt in early 1996, achieving lower rates of
interest in the process. The average rate of interest on all debt, including the
Securitization Program, for the quarter ended May 31, 1997 was 8.17% as compared
to 8.78% for the previous year.

         Income taxes increased $103,000 to $472,000 for the quarter ended May
31, 1997 due to the increase in the effective tax rate. The Company's effective
rate of 31.7% for the quarter ending May 31, 1997 is lower than the statutory
rate due primarily to nontaxable amortization income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's liquidity needs arise from seasonal working capital
requirements, capital expenditures, interest and principal payment obligations,
and acquisitions. The Company has historically met its liquidity and capital
investment needs with internally generated funds and borrowings under its Credit
Facilities. For the three months ended May 31, 1997, cash from operating
activities was $9.5 million compared to cash from operating activities of $20.3
million for the three months ended May 31, 1996. The decrease in cash flows
from operating activities was primarily due to the sale of a substantial portion
of the Company's accounts receivable under the Securitization Program. Net cash
used in investing activities was $1.9 million for the three months ended May 31,
1997 as compared to $3.7 million for the three months ended May 31, 1996. In the
three months ended May 31, 1997, the Company purchased the HVAC operations and
related assets of Bellows-Evans, Inc. and Trigg Supply, Inc. for a combined
total of $1.3 million. Net cash used in financing activities was $7.6 million
for the three months ended May 31, 1997 as compared to $16.7 million for the
three months ended May 31, 1996. During the three months ended May 31, 1997, the
Company repaid $7.5 million of a $15 million term loan.


         On June 4, 1997, the Company completed the IPO. A total of 4,115,441
shares were sold at $14 per share, including 536,797 shares sold pursuant to the
underwriters overallotment option and 578,644 shares sold by certain selling
shareholders. The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of
shares of Class A Common Stock by the selling shareholders. The net proceeds to
the Company were approximately $45.4 million and were used to repay $11.1
million of outstanding indebtedness to certain members and affiliates of a group
of investors in the Company, to repay approximately $33.1 million of the
outstanding balance of the Working Capital Facility, and to repurchase 206,847
shares of Common Stock from certain shareholders, including members of the
aforementioned investor group, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately
$1.2 million.

         The Company's working capital increased to $34.3 million at May 31,
1997 from $34.2 million at February 28, 1997.

         At May 31, 1997, the Company had senior borrowings of $73.9 million
under its $100 million Credit Facilities, of which $17.3 million was unused and
available. The Company's senior indebtedness consists of $29.3 million under the
Working Capital Facility and $44.6 million under the Securitization Program
(collectively, the "Credit Facilities"). The Securitization Program is an off
balance sheet 

                                       10
<PAGE>

arrangement that provides for the transfer and sale of accounts receivable to a
special purpose corporation. The weighted average interest rate on the Credit
Facilities at May 31, 1997 was 7.45%. This rate fluctuates with the commercial
paper and LIBOR rates. The Credit Facilities expire in November 2001 and have no
principal payment requirements prior to that date. The Company repaid a portion
of the Working Capital Facility with the net proceeds of the IPO. Following
consummation of the IPO, the Company has available approximately $48.5 million
of unused credit under the Credit Facilities.

         In addition to the Credit Facilities, at May 31, 1997, the Company had
$11.1 million of indebtedness to certain members and an affiliate of the
Investor Group, all of which was repaid from the proceeds of the IPO.

         The Company's capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions, for the
three months ended May 31, 1997, were $675,000 as compared to $408,000 for the
previous year. Such capital expenditures were primarily for branch and
distribution center leasehold improvements, forklifts and delivery vehicles, and
computer equipment and software.

         Management believes that, with the consummation of the IPO, the Company
has adequate resources and liquidity to meet its borrowing obligations, fund all
required capital expenditures, and pursue its business strategy for existing
operations. However, the Company may require additional funding in order to
pursue significant acquisition opportunities. Future acquisitions may be
financed by bank borrowings, public offerings, or private placements of equity
or debt securities or a combination of the foregoing. Such financings may
require the consent of the Company's existing lenders.

          FOR VALUE RECEIVED, PAMECO CORPORATION ("Pameco"), a Georgia
                                                   ------             
corporation formerly known as New Pameco Georgia Corporation and the successor
by merger to Pameco Corporation ("Old Pameco") and Pameco Holdings, Inc., both
                                  ----------                                  
Delaware corporations, hereby promises to pay to PAMECO SECURITIZATION
CORPORATION (the "Lender"), for its account, the principal sum of FIFTY MILLION
                  ------                                                       
DOLLARS ($50,000,000) (or such lesser amount as shall equal the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of the PRC Loans made by the Lender to Pameco under the
Transfer Agreement referred to below), in lawful money of the United States of
America and in immediately available funds immediately on the demand of the
Lender.

          The date, amount and interest rate, of each PRC Loan made by the
Lender to Pameco, and each payment made on account of the principal thereof,
shall be recorded by the Lender on its books and, prior to any transfer of this
Note, endorsed by the Lender on the schedule attached hereto or any continuation
thereof.

          This Note is the Pameco Note referred to in the Receivables Transfer
Agreement (as modified and supplemented and in effect from time to time, the
"Transfer Agreement") dated as of May 1, 1996 by and among Old Pameco and the
- -------------------                                                          
Lender and evidences PRC Loans made by the Lender thereunder.  Capitalized terms
used in this Note and not defined herein have the respective meanings assigned
to them in the Transfer Agreement.

          The Transfer Agreement provides for prepayments of PRC Loans upon the
terms and conditions specified therein.

          Notwithstanding any other provisions contained in this Note, if at any
time the rate of interest payable by Pameco under this Note, when combined with
any and all other charges provided for in this Note, in the Purchase Agreement
or in any other document (to the extent such other charges would constitute
interest for the purpose of any applicable law limiting interest that may be
charged on this Note), exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under
applicable law (the "Maximum Lawful Rate"); then so long as the Maximum Lawful
                     -------------------                                      
Rate would be exceeded the rate of interest under this Note shall be equal to
the Maximum Lawful Rate.  If at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable
under this Note is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, Pameco shall continue to
pay interest under this Note at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the
total interest paid by Pameco is equal to the total interest that would have
been paid had such applicable law not limited the interest rate payable under
this Note.  In no event shall the total interest received by the Lender under
this Note exceed the amount which the
<PAGE>
 
Lender could lawfully have received had the interest due under this Note been
calculated since the date of this Note at the Maximum Lawful Rate.

          If any payment under this Note falls due on a day which is not a
Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day and interest (calculated at the Pameco Interest Rate for each day
during the period then ending) shall be payable on the principal so extended.

          This Note is being issued in replacement of and substitution for that
certain Pameco Note dated May 1, 1996, as amended and restated as of January 24,
1997, by Old Pameco to the order of the Lender in the principal amount of
$50,000,000.  In addition to the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, this Note
shall also evidence any accrued and unpaid interest on such preceding note.

          Pameco expressly waives presentment, demand, diligence, protest and
all notices of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Note.

          This Note is made and delivered in New York, New York and shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws (without
application of its conflict of laws provisions) of the State of New York.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Pameco has caused this Note to be signed and
delivered by its duly authorized officer as of the date set forth above.

Securitization Corporation, as seller (the "Seller"), Redwood Receivables
Corporation, as purchaser ("Redwood"), General Electric Capital Corporation, as

shall be deemed to be references to Pameco Corporation, a Georgia corporation
formerly known as New Pameco Georgia Corporation and the successor by merger to

          This letter is the Fee Letter referred to in the Purchase Agreement
and in the Credit Agreement and sets forth our understanding with respect to
certain fees that are payable by the Seller and Pameco Corporation pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement and the Credit Agreement.  This letter supersedes and
replaces that certain Fee Letter among us dated January 24, 1997.

          The parties to this letter agree as follows:

          1.  The Seller and Pameco Corporation shall pay an Unused Commitment
     Fee equal to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum calculated daily
     and payable monthly on the amount by which $100,000,000 exceeds the sum of
     (i)  the outstanding Capital Investment on such date and (ii) the
     outstanding "Loans" under the Credit Agreement on such date (such sum, the
     "Total Outstandings"), with the Seller being responsible for the Unused
     Commitment Fee based on that portion of Total Outstandings on each day
     representing outstanding Capital Investments and Pameco Corporation being
     responsible for the Unused Commitment Fee based on that portion of Total
     Outstandings on each day representing outstanding "Loans" under the Credit
     Agreement.

     Offering price per share of $14 ("cheap stock") during the twelve month
