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 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, 2000, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending February 28, 2001. The sale of products by Pameco
Corporation (the "Company" or "Pameco") is seasonal with sales generally
increasing during the warmer months beginning in April and peaking in the
months of June, July, and August. For further information, refer to the

4. CONTINGENCIES

  From time to time, the Company is involved in claims and legal proceedings,
which arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company intends to
defend vigorously all such claims and does not believe any such matters would
have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or
financial condition.

5. RESTRUCTURING

  During the years ended February 28, 1999 and February 29, 2000, the Company
performed extensive reviews of its unprofitable branches. The Company
determined that 56 branches should be closed based on either of the following
criteria: (1) the branch location was already in a market sufficiently
serviced by a Pameco branch or (2) the branch location was in an area with
limited demand. From the period June 1, 1999, to May 31, 2000, the Company
closed 39 of these 56 branches. Since the Company had previously closed 11
branches in the quarter ended May 31, 1999, it has now closed 50 of the
branches identified in the restructuring charges. The remaining branch
closings should be completed by August 31, 2000. By closing or consolidating
branches in these markets, the Company seeks to reduce its inventory levels
and operating expenses. The Company does not expect the demographics of these
markets to change significantly enough within the next several years for these
branches to become profitable.

  In connection with the closure and the consolidation of these 56 branches,
the Company recorded $4.5 million of restructuring charges. The charges
consisted of the following components: (1) lease and other facility expenses
of $2.3 million; (2) the write off of $584,000 of fixed assets no longer in
use; (3) severance payments of $187,000; and (4) an asset impairment charge of
$1.4 million for the write off of goodwill associated with certain branches to
be closed.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 Quarter Ended May 31, 2000 and Quarter Ended May 31, 1999

  Net sales for the quarter ended May 31, 2000, decreased 21.2% to $125.4
million from $159.1 million for the same period in 1999. From the period June
1, 1999 to May 31, 2000, the Company closed 54 branches. Please note that only
39 branch closings are part of the restructuring charges described above. For
the quarter ended May 31,1999, these 54 branches provided $11.6 million in net
sales revenue. First quarter same store net sales decreased $21.7 million, a
decline of 17.5%, as compared to the same period in 1999. Same store sales
were negatively impacted by inadequate levels of inventory at the start of the
quarter and the ongoing effects of the restructuring effort.

  Gross profit for the quarter ended May 31, 2000, decreased 22.8% to $28.7
million from $37.2 million for the same period in 1999. The decline in gross
profit is directly related to the decline in net sales explained above. The
gross profit percentage for the quarter ended May 31, 2000, decreased to 22.9%
from 23.4% for the same period in 1999.

  Warehousing, selling, and administrative expenses for the quarter ended May
31, 2000, decreased 12.7% to $32.4 million from $37.1 million for the same
period in 1999. In the quarter ended May 31, 2000, the Company reduced its
personnel related expenses by $3.7 million as compared to the same period in
the prior year. As a result of the aforementioned closure of 54 branches, non-
personnel related warehousing, selling, and administrative expenses were
reduced by an additional $1.2 million. All other warehousing, selling, and
administrative expenses increased by $200,000 for the quarter ended May 31,
2000 as compared to the prior year.

  Net interest expense for the quarter ended May 31, 2000, increased $400,000
to $2.2 million from $1.8 million for the same period in 1999. In the quarter
ended May 31, 1999, the Company had an accounts receivable securitization
borrowing program (the "Securitization Program"). The discount on the sale of
accounts receivable of $723,000 for the quarter ended May 31, 1999, was
recorded as the "Discount on sale of accounts receivable and other expense" on
the statement of operations. For comparative purposes, the discount on sale of
accounts receivable of $723,000 should be combined with the $1.8 million
interest expense for a total interest expense of $2.5 million in the prior
year. The lower combined interest expense of $2.2 million in the quarter ended
May 31, 2000, as compared to $2.5 million in the prior year is a result of the
lower average borrowings of $90.1 million in the quarter ended May 31, 2000 as
compared to $147.8 million in the same period in the prior year. The impact of
the lower average borrowings was partially offset by higher interest rates in
the quarter ended May 31, 2000 as compared to the same period in the prior
year.

  For the quarter ended May 31, 2000, the Company recorded an income tax
benefit of $2.6 million. However, the Company made an offsetting $2.6 million
adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance which reduced the
income benefit for the quarter to zero. Management concluded that the
realization of its net deferred tax assets is not likely and, accordingly,
increased the valuation allowance. The Company's effective tax rate differed
from the statutory rate principally as a result of the amortization of the
excess of acquired net assets over cost (negative goodwill amortization) not
being included in taxable income.

RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

  During the years ended February 28, 1999 and February 29, 2000, the Company
performed extensive reviews of its unprofitable branches. The Company
determined that 56 branches should be closed based on either of the following
criteria: (1) the branch location was already in a market sufficiently
serviced by a Pameco branch or (2) the branch location was in an area with
limited demand. From the period June 1, 1999, to May 31, 2000, the Company
closed 39 of these 56 branches. Since the Company had previously closed 11
branches in the quarter ended May 31, 1999, it has now closed 50 of the
branches identified in the restructuring charges. The remaining branch
closings should be completed by August 31, 2000. By closing or consolidating
branches in these markets, the Company seeks to reduce its inventory levels
and operating expenses. The Company does not expect the demographics of these
markets to change significantly enough within the next several years for these
branches to become profitable.

  The majority of the cash expenditures related to branch closures, excluding
lease commitments, were completed by February 2000. The Company will continue
to pay on certain lease commitments through 2001. To date, the Company has
paid approximately $431,897 to terminate leases.

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 (as defined below). For the three months ended May
31, 2000, cash used in operating activities was $17.3 million as compared to
$6.6 million provided by operating activities for the three months ended May
31, 1999. Net cash used in investing activities was $291,000 for the three
months ended May 31, 2000, as compared to $1.2 million for the three months
ended May 31, 1999. Such capital expenditures were primarily for branch and
distribution center leasehold improvements, equipment, computer hardware, and
supply chain software. Net cash provided by financing activities was $17.6
million for the three months ended May 31, 2000, while such activities used
$5.4 million in the three months ended May 31, 1999.

  The Company's working capital increased to $92.7 million at May 31, 2000,
from $80.1 million at February 29, 2000.

  On February 17, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with a new
primary lender and various participating lenders (the "Lenders") to obtain
financing under a senior credit facility amounting to an aggregate of $130
million (the "New Credit Agreement"). The New Credit Agreement provides for
(a) a revolving line of credit of $130.0 million (the "New Revolver
Facility"), and (b) a subfacility of the Revolver Facility providing for the
issuance of letters of credit (the "LC Facility"), not to exceed $15 million
(such amount to be calculated as part of, and not in addition to, the
aggregate limit of the Credit Agreement). At May 31, 2000, $3.1 million was
outstanding on the LC Facility.

  At May 31, 2000, the Company had borrowings of $78.1 million outstanding
under the New Revolver Facility. These borrowings are due February 17, 2005.
Interest is based on LIBOR plus 2.75% for specified loan amounts and the prime
rate plus .75% for borrowings in excess of specified loan amounts. The
effective borrowing rate at May 31, 2000 was 9.04%.

                                       9
<PAGE>

  At February 29, 2000, debt includes a $20.0 million subordinated debt
agreement (the "Subdebt Facility") entered into on February 18, 2000, in
connection with the $130.0 million New Credit Agreement. The Subdebt Facility
bears interest of 12% per annum due quarterly. The 12% interest rate consists
of 6% payable in cash and 6% added to principal ("Paid in Kind" interest).
Principal plus Paid in Kind interest of $2.0 million is due at March 31, 2003
and 2004, respectively, and the remaining balance is due on March 31, 2005.

  In connection with the $20.0 million Subdebt Facility and effective February
18, 2000, the Company entered into future inventory purchase agreements with
the owners of such Subdebt Facility. These agreements require the Company to
purchase minimum percentages of its annual inventory demand for certain
products over the next five years from specified suppliers. Failure to meet
these minimum percentages would result in penalties and default on the
associated $20.0 million Subdebt Facility. Minimum commitments under these
purchase agreements for the next five fiscal years are: 2001-$20.1 million;
2002-$24.3 million; 2003-$25.7 million; 2004-$26.1 million; and 2005 and
thereafter $27.2 million. For the year ended February 29, 2000, the Company
purchased $200.2 million of inventory from these specified suppliers.

  The New Credit Agreement and the Subdebt Facility require compliance with
specific levels of net worth, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation,
and amortization ("EBITDA"), and a specified fixed charges coverage ratio. The
negative covenants include various limitations on indebtedness, liens,
fundamentals changes, dividends, and investments. At May 31, 2000, the Company
complied with all covenants. The Company has granted a security interest to
the Lenders for substantially all the assets of the Company, including the
accounts receivable, inventory, and equipment, as collateral for the debt.

  On May 18, 2000, the Company entered into an amendment and waiver to the New
Credit Agreement. In general, the amendment waived the Company's violation of
the consolidated net worth covenant, modified the definition of consolidated
net worth, and reduced the levels of consolidated net worth required for
future periods. The covenant violation was primarily attributable to the
establishment of a non-cash valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. In
February 2000, in connection with the significant loss incurred by the Company
during the fourth quarter of the year, management concluded that realization
of its net deferred tax assets was no longer likely and, accordingly,
increased the valuation allowance to fully provide for such assets. Although
the asset was fully reserved on the Company's balance sheet, the benefit
remains available through a concomitant increase in the Company's tax loss
carry forward provision. As such, the related reduction in net worth has no
cash impact on the Company. In addition, the Subdebt Facility contains
provisions whereby amendments to the New Credit Agreement are automatically
incorporated into the Subdebt Facility.

SEASONALITY

  The sale of products by the Company is seasonal. Sales generally increase
during the warmer months beginning in April and peak in the months of June,
July, and August.
