ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
   
     On June 5, 1998, Industrial Distribution Group, Inc. (the
"Company") completed the acquisition of L D Supply, Inc. ("L D
Supply") through the merger of L D Supply with a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of
Merger and Reorganization dated June 5, 1998 between the Company,
its merger subsidiary, L D Supply and all of the shareholders of
L D Supply.  The consideration paid by the Company consisted of
270,583 shares of its Common Stock, $5,000,032 in cash and the
assumption of certain liabilities.  L D Supply is a distributor of
cutting tools based in Wichita, Kansas and the Company presently
intends to operate L D Supply substantially as it had been operated
prior to its acquisition.  The number of shares issued in this
transaction was determined by a formula price based on the various
closing prices of the Company's Common Stock on the New York
Stock Exchange during the period from April 21, 1998 (the date the Company
and L D Supply entered into a letter of intent) to June 2, 1998 (three
business days prior to the closing of the transaction).  The Company
accounted for the acquisition of L D Supply as a purchase.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS





To the Stockholders of
LD Supply, Inc.:


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of LD SUPPLY, INC.
(a Kansas corporation) as of April 30, 1998 and the related
statements of operations, stockholders' equity, 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 LD Supply, Inc. as of April 30, 1998 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

                              APRIL 30, 1998



1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   Organization and Business

   LD Supply, Inc. (the "Company"), a Kansas corporation, was formed
   on April 11, 1956 and is a distributor that provides procurement
   solutions, products, and services to industrial users which have
   maintenance, repair, operating, and production supply
   requirements.  The Company conducts business primarily in Kansas,
   with customers ranging from small machine shops to major aircraft
   companies.


2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   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.

   Cash Equivalents

   The Company considers all short-term investments with original
   maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

   Accounts Receivable

   An allowance for uncollectible accounts has been established
   based on the Company's collection experience and an assessment of
   the collectibility of specific accounts.  The allowance amounted
   to $11,147 as of April 30, 1998, and the provision for bad debts
   was $7,000 for the year then ended.

   Inventories

   Inventories consist primarily of merchandise purchased for resale
   and are stated at the lower of cost or market value.  Cost is
   determined using the first-in-first-out method, and market is
   considered to be net realizable value.

                              F-6<PAGE>
   Property and Equipment

   Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated
   depreciation.  Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are
   charged to expense as incurred.  Upon retirement or disposal of
   assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed
   from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized
   as other income or expense in the statement of operations.

   Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the
   following estimated useful lives:

                  Office equipment            Three to five years
                  Automobiles                 Three years

   Income Taxes

   Effective May 1, 1997, the Company elected and was approved by
   the Internal Revenue Service to change its tax status from a
   C corporation to an S corporation.  As an S corporation, the
   Company is not a taxable entity, and separately stated items of
   income, loss, deduction, and credit are passed through to and
   taken into account by the individual stockholder in computing
   federal and state individual income tax liabilities.  The Company
   makes cash distributions to its owners for estimated tax
   payments.

   Revenue Recognition

   Revenue is recognized on sales of products at the time of
   shipment, offset by discounts given to customers.

   Cost of Sales

   Cost of sales consists of the cost of materials purchased, offset
   by discounts received from suppliers.

   Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk

   The Company's carrying value of financial instruments (cash,
   trade receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and
   debt) approximates fair value due to the short maturity of those
   instruments.  For the year ended April 30, 1998, the Company had
   one customer which represented approximately 29% of the Company's
   operating revenues and approximately 18% of the Company's
   accounts receivable.  The Company renewed an existing contract
   with this customer on May 28, 1998, expiring May 31, 2001, in
   which the customer guarantees to purchase certain inventory items
   as stated in the contract.  As part of this agreement, the
   Company is obligated to maintain certain levels of inventory for
   purchase by the customer.

                              F-7<PAGE>
3. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT 

   Property and equipment consisted of the following at April 30,
   1998:

           Office equipment                          $219,470
           Automobiles                                 78,189
                                                     --------
                                                      297,659
           Less accumulated depreciation             (218,703)
                                                     --------
           Property and equipment, net               $ 78,956
                                                     ========

   Depreciation expense totaled $60,775 for the year ended April 30,
   1998.


4.  DEBT

   The Company has a $500,000 revolving line of credit with a bank
   maturing March 11, 1999 and bearing interest at prime plus .25%. 
   The interest rate was 8.5% at April 30, 1998 and averaged 8.5%
   during the year then ended.  The borrowings under the line of
   credit were $200,000 at April 30, 1998.

   Among other restrictive covenants, the revolving line of credit
   requires the Company to maintain a minimum current ratio and a
   minimum tangible net worth.  Additionally, the Company cannot
   exceed certain capital expenditure limitations.  At April 30,
   1998, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.


5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

   Operating Leases

   The Company leases the main warehouse and office facility in
   which it conducts business as well as certain office equipment
   under operating leases.

   The minimum future rental payments under all leases as of
   April 30, 1998 are as follows:

                       1999                 $  35,212
                       2000                    34,482
                       2001                    33,960
                       2002                    33,960
                       2003                    33,960
                       Thereafter             166,970
                                            ---------
                                            $ 338,544
                                            =========

   During the year ended April 30, 1998, rental expense under
   operating leases totaled $31,362.

                              F-8<PAGE>
6. LITIGATION

   In August 1997, the Internal Revenue Service concluded its
   examination of the Company's income tax returns for the fiscal
   years ended April 30, 1994, 1995, and 1996 by issuing an
   examination report proposing additional income taxes and the
   imposition of accumulated earnings taxes plus interest totaling
   $60,692, $70,717, and $74,447, respectively.  The Company intends
   to vigorously defend against the proposed additions to income tax
   and the imposition of accumulated earnings tax by administrative
   appeal and/or litigation in the United States Tax Court or the
   United States District Court, with such actions to be commenced
   soon hereafter.

   In June 1995, a former employee of the Company filed a claim
   against the Company for discrimination under the Kansas Act
   Against Discrimination and/or the Americans With Disabilities
   Act.  The employee claims that the Company wrongfully terminated
   him because he was disabled and could not perform job duties
   under his job description.  The Company has denied any liability
   and plans to vigorously defend itself in this matter.

   Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters
   will not materially affect the Company's results of operations or
   financial position.


7. BENEFIT PLAN

   Beginning January 1, 1998, the Company established a 401(k) plan
   (the "Plan") for the Company's employees under which participants
   may contribute up to 10% of their compensation.  Employees over
   age 21 with more than one year of service are eligible for
   participation in the Plan.  During 1998, the Company matched 50%
   of the first 6% of participants' contributions.  The Company's
   contributions totaled $5,442 during 1998.


8. POSTEMPLOYMENT HEALTH BENEFITS

   In March 1998, the board of directors approved a plan which
   guarantees health insurance to certain officers until age 65,
   regardless of employment status.  As all covered officers are
   currently employed by the Company, no provision has been made for
   such postemployment benefits at April 30, 1998.  Should the
   employment of the covered officers be terminated, the liability
   for such benefits at April 30, 1998 is estimated to be $632,000.


9. EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

   The board of directors approved the termination of the Employee
   Stock Ownership Plan in November 1996.  Final distributions and
   transfers to employees of approximately $1,587,000 were completed
   as of May 12, 1998.

                              F-9<PAGE>
10. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

   The Company leases its warehouse and office facility under an
   operating lease from Begonia, Inc., in which two stockholders of
   the Company own a majority interest.  The operating lease was
   renewed March 31, 1998 and expires March 31, 2008.  Minimum lease
   payments were $2,480 through March 31, 1998, and the renewed
   lease increased the minimum lease payment to $2,830 per month. 
   Rental expense recognized under this lease was $30,110 for the
   year ended April 30, 1998.

   The Company entered into an agreement with two stockholders dated
   February 10, 1987 and May 2, 1988 in which the stockholders
   agreed not to associate directly or indirectly with any business
   under any name similar to the Company's name, without Company
   consent, for a period of one year after termination.  Further,
   stockholders agreed not to compete with any competitor of the
   Company within a 100-mile radius of Wichita, Kansas, for a period
   of one year after termination.


11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED)

   At April 30, 1998, the Company was the assigned owner and
   beneficiary of key man life insurance policies held for certain
   stockholders.  The Company recognized cash surrender value on
   these policies for the year ended April 30, 1998.  In May 1998,
   the policies were canceled, with cash surrender values paid
   directly to the insured stockholders and treated as a dividend by
   the Company.

   On June 5, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with LDS
   Acquisition Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Industrial
   Distribution Group ("IDG"), to effect a merger and
   reorganization.  As a result of the business consolidation, the
   Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of IDG. 
   Consideration paid by IDG consisted of approximately 270,583
   shares of IDG common stock, approximately $5,000,000 cash, and
   the assumption of certain liabilities.

     INTRODUCTION TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED

                       FINANCIAL INFORMATION


The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information
as of and for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and for the
year ended December 31, 1997 are set forth on the following
pages.  The unaudited pro forma financial information has been
prepared utilizing the historical financial statements of
Industrial Distribution Group, Inc. ("IDG") and LD Supply, Inc.
("LDS").  The pro forma financial information also has been
prepared to reflect the historical financial data for certain
acquisitions made by IDG since the beginning of 1997.  In
September 1997, IDG completed an initial public offering of its
common stock (NYSE:  IDG) and, concurrent with the offering,
acquired the following nine industrial distribution companies: 
Associated Suppliers, Inc., B&J Industrial Supply Company, Cramer
Industrial Supplies, Grinding Supplies Company, J.J. Stangel
Company, Shearer Industrial Supply Company, Slater Industrial
Supply Company, The Distribution Group (formerly known as
Industrial Distribution Group, Inc.), and Tri-Star Industrial
Supply, Inc. (collectively referred to as the "Founding
Companies").  Accordingly, the pro forma financial information
gives pro forma effect to the above acquisitions as if they had
occurred as of March 31, 1998 for the purposes of the balance
sheet and as of January 1, 1997 for the purposes of the
statements of operations. Additionally, IDG completed the mergers
with Northern Tool & Supply and Continental Air Tools, Inc.,
d.b.a. Continental-McLaughlin, during the first quarter of 1998
and with Hawley Industrial Supplies, Inc. (collectively referred
to as the "Pooled Companies") during the second quarter of 1998. 
These mergers have been accounted for under the pooling of
interests method of accounting and all historical financial
information has been restated to give effect to these mergers. 
The LDS historical financial statements are for the year ended
April 30, 1998.  They have been recast to a calendar year pro
forma presentation as of December 31, 1997.

The acquisition of LDS has been accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting.  The pro forma financial information has
been prepared on such basis of accounting utilizing estimates and
assumptions as set forth below and in the notes thereto.  The pro
forma financial information is presented for informational
purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the future
financial position or results of operations of the combined
companies or of the financial position or the results of
operations of the combined companies that would have actually
occurred had the acquisition been consummated on such date or as
of the periods described above.  The purchase price allocations
reflected in the pro forma financial information have been based
on preliminary estimates of the respective fair values of assets
and liabilities which may differ from the actual allocations and
are subject to revision based on further studies and valuations. 
Certain amounts in the historical financial statements of LDS
have been reclassified to conform to the financial presentation
of IDG.

         NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED

                      FINANCIAL INFORMATION


On June 5, 1998, IDG completed the acquisition of all of the
outstanding capital stock of LDS. LDS is a distributor that
provides procurement solutions, products, and services to
industrial users that have maintenance, repair, operating, and
production supply requirements.  Consideration paid by IDG
consisted of 270,583 shares of IDG common stock, $5,000,032
in cash, and the assumption of certain liabilities.

The acquisition of LDS was accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting, applying the provisions of Accounting
Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 16, and as a result, IDG
recorded the assets and liabilities of LDS at their estimated
fair values, with the excess of the purchase price over this
amount being recorded as goodwill.  The total amount of goodwill
was approximately $6,594,000, which includes acquisition costs of
$73,000.

Pro Forma Adjustments

(a)  Records the amortization of goodwill over a 40-year period and
     other intangible assets over a 13-year period for the Founding
     Companies on a straight-line basis.

(b)  Eliminates interest expense from line of credit of the Founding
     Companies, which was paid from the proceeds of the acquisition.

(c)  Records the tax provision for the Founding Companies using
     IDG's effective rate. 

(d)  Eliminates the one-time compensation expense related to
     purchases of common stock in relation to the acquisition.

(e)  Records the preliminary estimate of goodwill, common stock
     issued, and cash paid in relation to the acquisition, and
     eliminates the stockholders' equity of LDS.

(f)  Records the amortization of goodwill related to LDS over a
     40-year period on a straight-line basis.

(g)  Eliminates the assets and income and expense related to assets
     not acquired in the purchase.

(h)  Records the tax provision based on the taxable income of LDS
     using IDG's effective rate.

(i)  Eliminates the extraordinary item related to change from
     last-in, first-out inventory method.
