                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              March 31, 1995

1.   The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1994, which has
     been derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited interim
     consolidated financial statements, have been prepared pursuant to the rules
     and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
     information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial
     statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
     principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and
     regulations, although the Company believes the disclosures made are
     adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion
     of management, all adjustments necessary to a fair presentation have been
     included in the consolidated financial statements for the periods presented
     herein.

2.   The results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 are not
     necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31,
     1995. The sale of the Company's products and services is seasonal with
     revenues generally increasing during the months of May through August.

3.   At March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, inventories consist of 
     (in thousands):

                                           March 31,      December 31,

                                             =======          =======

4.   On February 6, 1995, Comfort Supply, Inc. ("Comfort Supply"), the
     Company's Houston-based distribution subsidiary, acquired the common
     stock of Airite, Inc., a Louisiana-based wholesale distributor of
     residential central air conditioners and related parts and supplies.
     Consideration for the purchase consisted of a cash payment to the
     seller in the amount of $100,000, with the remainder represented by a
     subordinated promissory note payable to the seller in the amount of
     $615,000.

     On March 13, 1995, Gemaire Distributors, Inc. ("Gemaire"), the
     Company's Florida-based distribution subsidiary, purchased certain
     accounts receivable, inventory and other operating assets and assumed
     certain liabilities of H.B. Adams, Inc. ("H.B. Adams"), a wholesale
     distributor of air conditioning, heating and refrigeration products
     operating seven branch locations in central Florida. The cash
     consideration paid by Gemaire totaled approximately $7.8 million and
     is subject to adjustment upon the completion of an audit of the assets
     purchased and liabilities assumed. In connection with this
     transaction, Gemaire increased its revolving credit agreement to allow
     maximum borrowings of $27 million in order to fund the purchase and to
     provide additional financing for future working capital requirements.

     The above acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of
     accounting. The excess of the aggregate purchase prices over the fair
     value of the net assets acquired of $1.6 million is being amortized on
     a straight-line basis over 40 years. In connection with these
     acquisitions, the Company assumed liabilities of $1,132,000.

5.   In March 1995, Comfort Supply entered into a letter of intent to
     purchase the business and operating assets and assume certain
     liabilities of Environmental Equipment & Supplies, Inc., a wholesale 
     distributor of residential central air conditioners and related parts 
     and supplies based in North Little Rock, Arkansas. The purchase is 
     subject to execution of a definitive agreement and other conditions.

6.   On April 18, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors authorized, for
     both classes of the Company's common stock, a three-for-two stock
     split effected in the form of a 50% stock dividend payable on May 15,
     1995 to shareholders of record as of April 28, 1995. All weighted
     average share and per share amounts included in this quarterly report
     have been restated to reflect this stock split.

7.   Certain amounts for 1994 have been reclassified to conform with the 
     1995 presentation.

</TABLE>

     The above table and following narrative includes, from the date of
their respective acquisition, the results of operations of Airite, Inc.
("Airite"), a Louisiana-based wholesale distributor of residential central
air conditioners acquired in February 1995, and H.B. Adams, Inc. ("H.B.
Adams"), a wholesale distributor of residential air conditioners located in
central Florida whose business and assets the Company purchased in March
1995 (collectively, the "acquisitions").

   Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1995 increased $5.1
million, or 9%, compared to the same period in 1994. In the climate control
segment, revenues increased $4.4 million, or 9%. Excluding the effect of
acquisitions, revenues for the climate control segment increased $3.0
million, or 6%. Revenues in the Company's Florida distribution market
increased $2.1 million, or 12%, partially due to the acquisition of H.B.
Adams, but primarily due to a 6% increase in same store sales from
increased sales of replacement air conditioners in south Florida, higher
sales of parts and supplies as a result of improved marketing efforts and
growth in international sales to Latin America. Revenues in the Company's
Texas distribution market increased $1.3 million, or 14%, helped by the
acquisition of Airite. On a same store basis, revenues in the Texas
distribution market increased 6% due to greater market penetration.
Revenues in the Company's western distribution market rose 2% as increased
sales of replacement air conditioners offset sales delays caused by heavy
rains in California. Revenues in the Company's manufacturing operations
increased $641,000, or 13%, due to increased penetration of the original
equipment manufacturer (OEM) market and new product offerings to both OEM
and aftermarket customers. Revenues in the personnel services segment
increased $638,000, or 10%, reflecting greater demand for temporary help
services and greater customer acceptance of new product offerings such as
professional staffing and technical temporaries.

   Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 1995 increased $1.5
million, or 12%, as compared to the same period in 1994. Excluding the
effect of acquisitions, gross profit increased $1.2 million, or 9%,
primarily as a result of the aforementioned revenue increases but also due
to increased gross profit margins. Gross profit margin in the first quarter
increased to 24.4% in 1995 from 23.9% in 1994. Excluding the effect of
acquisitions, gross profit margin increased to 24.5% in 1995 from 23.9% in
1994, primarily due to a shift in product mix during the quarter to higher

   Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended
March 31, 1995 increased $835,000, or 8%, compared to the same period in
1994, primarily due to selling and delivery costs related to increased
sales. Excluding the effect of acquisitions, selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $565,000, or 5%, primarily due to revenue
increases. Including and excluding the effect of acquisitions, selling,
general and administrative costs as a percent of revenues decreased from
19.4% in 1994 to 19.1% in 1995. These decreases were the result of a larger
revenue base, due to acquisitions and sales growth, over which to spread
fixed costs.

   Interest expense for the first quarter in 1995 increased $234,000, or
35%, compared to the same period in 1994, due to interest rate increases
and higher borrowings used to finance the purchase of H. B. Adams and to
finance increased inventory levels required by sales growth and stocking
requirements in new branch locations. Excluding the effect of acquisitions,
interest expense increased $195,000, or 29%, primarily due to interest rate
increases and higher borrowings.

   The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 1995 was
38.6% compared to 37.9% for the same period in the 1994. The increase is
primarily a result of a proportionately larger share of taxable income
expected to be generated in states with higher tax rates during 1995 as
compared to 1994.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   Cash and cash equivalents increased to $1.8 million during the first
quarter of 1995. Principal sources of cash were profitable operations,
proceeds from the sale of marketable securities, primarily consisting of
tax exempt municipal bonds, and increased borrowings under revolving credit
agreements. The principal uses of cash were to fund acquisitions, finance
capital expenditures and purchase inventories. Inventory purchases are
substantially funded by borrowings under the subsidiaries' revolving credit
agreements. The increase in inventory in 1995 was higher than 1994 due to
earlier receipt of inventory shipments from suppliers than in the prior
year in order to take advantage of lower vendor prices and discounts and
the purchase of new inventory products to expand product offerings.

   The working capital position of the Company did not change materially
from December 31, 1994. The Company has adequate availability of capital
from operations and revolving credit facilities to fund current operations
and anticipated growth, including expansion in the Company's current and
targeted market areas, through 1995. At March 31, 1995, the Company's
distribution operations had aggregate borrowing commitments from lenders
under existing revolving credit agreements of $62 million, of which $16
million was unused and $6 million available. Additionally, the Company has
$3 million available under an unsecured revolving credit facility with a
bank. Certain of the subsidiaries' revolving credit agreements contain
provisions limiting the payment of dividends to their shareholders. The
Company does not anticipate that these limitations on dividends will have a
material effect on the Company's ability to meet its cash obligations.

   The Company continually evaluates additional acquisitions and other
investment opportunities and its financing needs may change in the future.
Should suitable investment opportunities or working capital needs arise
that would require additional financing, the Company believes that its
financial position and earnings history provide a solid base for obtaining
additional financing resources at competitive rates and terms.
