ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

     On June 26, 1998, Pameco Corporation ("Pameco" or the
"Company") purchased the heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning ("HVAC") and refrigeration operations and
substantially all the related assets of Park Heating and Air
Conditioning Supply Co., Inc. ("Park"), an Illinois corporation. 
Park operated seven business locations and a distribution center
in the greater Chicago area.

     The preliminary purchase price was approximately $22.5
million but may be adjusted based upon a review of the book value
of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as of the closing
date.  In addition, Pameco has agreed to pay Park additional
consideration at the end of each of the first two years following
the closing if the operating income of the branches exceeds $3.6
million. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the Asset Purchase Agreement, which has been filed as an
exhibit to this report on Form 8-K. The transaction was funded
under the Company's revolving line of credit with General
Electric Capital Corporation.

                  Report of Independent Auditors

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Park Heating
and Air Conditioning Supply Co., Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary
of GB Holdings, Inc.) as of December 31, 1997, and the related
statements of income and retained earnings and cash flows for the
year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Park Heating and Air Conditioning Supply Co., Inc. (a wholly-
owned subsidiary of GB Holdings, Inc.) as of December 31, 1997,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

               Notes to Financial Statements


                Year ended December 31, 1997


1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER MATTERS

REPORTING ENTITY

Effective January 1, 1997, the shareholders of Park Heating and
Air Conditioning Supply Co., Inc. (the "Company") exchanged their
shares of stock on a one-for-one basis in the Company for shares
of stock in a newly-formed corporation named GB Holdings, Inc. As
a result of such exchange, Park Heating and Air Conditioning
Supply Co., Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of GB Holdings,
Inc. GB Holdings, Inc., with consent of its shareholders, filed
for S Corporation status effective January 1, 1997. As a result,
the shareholders of GB Holdings, Inc. report the entire corporate
taxable income on their personal income tax returns.

The accompanying financial statements include only the accounts
of Park Heating and Air Conditioning Supply Co., Inc., a wholly-
owned subsidiary of GB Holdings, Inc.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Company is engaged in the wholesale distribution of heating
and air conditioning equipment and related supplies and sells to
customers located primarily in the State of Illinois. The Company
operates in one business segment.  

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company
considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. 
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which at
times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not
experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it
is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to
cash and cash equivalents.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER MATTERS (CONTINUED)

CREDIT POLICY

The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its
customers' financial conditions and in some instances places
liens on sales of equipment.  Receivables are generally due
within 30 days.  Credit losses have been within management's
expectations.

INVENTORIES

Inventories, consisting of finished goods held for resale, are
stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or
market.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is
provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets by
the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives for property
and equipment range from five to thirty-nine years.  Expenditures
for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as
incurred. 

INCOME TAXES

The Company has elected, with the consent of its shareholders, to
be treated for income tax purposes as a Subchapter S Corporation.
As a result, the shareholders report the entire corporate taxable
income on their personal tax returns.  

The pro forma provision for income taxes would be approximately
$1,018,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997.  The pro forma
provision for income taxes represents a provision for income
taxes as if the Company had operated as a C Corporation for
income tax purposes for the year ended December 31, 1997.

           Notes to Financial Statements (continued)



1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER MATTERS (CONTINUED)

USE OF ESTIMATES 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash,
accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their fair
values.  The fair values of the Company's debt approximates the
reported amounts in the balance sheet as their respective
interest rates approximate the market rates for similar debt
instruments.

RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, was issued.  SFAS 130
establishes new standards for the reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general
purpose financial statements.  These new standards require that
all items recognized as components of comprehensive income be
reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same
prominence as other financial statements.  SFAS 130 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.  The adoption
of SFAS 130 is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company's financial statements.

INTERIM STATEMENTS

The interim financial data for the quarter ended March 31, 1998
is unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, the interim
data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the
results for the interim period. 

2. LINE OF CREDIT

The Company and two affiliated companies (LDR Industries, Inc.
("LDR") and G & S Supply, Inc.) have a revolving credit agreement
with a bank which provides for a commitment for borrowing of
$15,000,000 at the prime rate (8.5% at December 31, 1997) with
maximum borrowings at any time based upon the three companies'
aggregate levels of eligible inventory and accounts receivable,
as defined.  The three companies have pledged substantially all
their assets as collateral for all borrowings.  The line of
credit includes covenants which, among other things, restrict the
companies' abilities to incur additional new indebtedness and pay
dividends without lender approval.  This debt is guaranteed by
the shareholders of the companies.  All bank borrowings under
this agreement were repaid on June 29, 1998.

3. NOTE PAYABLE TO AFFILIATED COMPANY

The note payable to an affiliated company is due on demand, is
unsecured, and bears interest at the same rate charged under the
bank revolving credit agreement.

                 PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

                   Introductory Information

     The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
financial information sets forth the combined results and
financial position of the Company and Park assuming the Company
purchased Park based on the information, qualifications and assumptions
set forth in the following Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Consolidated Financial Information. 

     The following unaudited pro forma financial information
should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited and
unaudited financial statements, including the notes thereto,
contained in:  (i) Pameco Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-
K for the year ended February 28, 1998 and (ii) Pameco
Corporation's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly
period ended May 31,1998.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of
income for the three months ended May 31, 1998 and for the year
ended February 28, 1998 present the consolidated operating
results of the Company and Park as if the acquisition described
above had occurred at the beginning of the period presented. Park
prepares its financial statements based on a December 31 year
end.  For purposes of this pro forma presentation, Park's
statement of income was adjusted to reflect a twelve-month period
ended February 28, 1998 and three-month period ended May 31, 1998
to conform with Pameco's presentation.  The unaudited pro forma
condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 1998 includes
the unaudited balance sheet of Park as of May 31, 1998.   The
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
May 31, 1998 presents the combined consolidated financial
position of the Company and Park as if the acquisition described
above had occurred on May 31, 1998.  These pro forma financial
statements reflect the use of the purchase method of accounting
and are based on the historical financial information of the
Company and Park adjusted for the pro forma adjustments described
in the accompanying notes to unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated financial information.  Certain reclassifications
and adjustments have been made to the historical financial
statements of Park to conform to the Company's financial
presentation and interim reporting dates. 

     The pro forma adjustments in certain cases are based on
preliminary estimates of the fair values of  assets and
liabilities of  Park, which may require further adjustment when
additional information is obtained during the one year period
subsequent to the acquisition date.  Any reallocation of the
purchase price based on the final valuation of the assets and
liabilities should not differ significantly from the original
estimate and should not have a material impact on  the pro forma
financial statements.  

     The pro forma financial information is presented for
illustrative purposes only, has been prepared under guidelines of
the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is not intended to be
indicative of the operating results that would have occurred if
the acquisition had been consummated in accordance with the
assumptions set forth below, nor is it intended to be a forecast
of future operating results.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     The historical information for each company reflected in the
accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements have been determined using generally accepted
accounting principles. 

     The following notes describe the pro forma adjustments
necessary to reflect the effects of the acquisition.  Actual
adjustments to account for the acquisition under the purchase
method are dependent upon the final valuation of the assets and
liabilities  of Park.

     Note A- The pro forma adjustment to "Amortization of excess
of cost over acquired net assets" reflects the additional expense
resulting from the amortization of the goodwill recorded in
association with the acquisition of Park.  Goodwill is amortized
over forty years.

     Note B- The pro forma adjustment to "Interest expense, net" 
reflects the additional interest costs  on debt issued to fund
the cash portion of the purchase price based on estimated
financing costs for the acquisition of Park.

     Note C- The pro forma adjustment to "Provision (benefit) for
income taxes"  reflects the net income tax impact at the
Company's effective income tax rate of the pro forma adjustments
described above and records the tax impact of Park's historical
results at the Company's effective income tax rate.  Park was
previously organized as a subchapter-S corporation.   

     Note D- The purchase method of accounting for acquisitions
requires that the assets and liabilities of Park be adjusted to
their estimated fair values.   These adjustments reflect
management's best estimate of the fair values of the assets and
liabilities of Park as of June 26, 1998 using information
currently available.
