        NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   The accompanying financial information should be read in conjunction with
     the consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, for
     the year ended December 31, 1994.  The condensed consolidated balance
     sheet as of December 31, 1994 has been summarized from the Company's
     audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date.

2.   Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results
     to be expected for the year.  The accompanying financial information
     reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of Management, of a
     normal, recurring nature and necessary for a fair statement of the results
     for the periods.

3.   Inventories are stated at the lower of LIFO cost or market.

4.   Primary income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the
     weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding
     during the periods.  Fully diluted income per share assumes the conversion
     of convertible debentures and the resultant reduction in interest costs,
     net of tax.

5.   As previously reported, in 1994 the Company sold its apparel parts and
     supplies distribution business ("Apparel").  Accordingly, this business is
     included as discontinued operations in 1994 results of operations.
     Summarized results of the discontinued operations are as follows (000's
     omitted):

<TABLE>

                     Six Months Ended        Three Months Ended
                       June 30, 1994            June 30, 1994

     Net Income          $   607                  $   375
</TABLE>
     
     Interest expense of $1,849 and $865, respectively, for the six and three
     months ended June 30, 1994 has been allocated to Apparel operating results
     based upon net assets of the Apparel operations.

6.   Six month results for 1994 include charges in the first quarter of 1994
     associated primarily with the resignation of an officer of the Company
     totaling $2.1 million ($1.2 million net of tax).

<PAGE>

7.   On August 11, 1995, the Company redeemed all of its outstanding 7%
     Convertible Subordinated Debentures Due 2014, which had an original
     principal amount of $50 million.  Of such principal amount, $35.5 million
     was redeemed for cash at a redemption price of 102.8% of principal, plus
     accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, or a total redemption
     payment of $36.5 million.  The balance of the Debentures were converted in
     accordance with the terms thereof into Common Stock of Rexel at a
     conversion price of $9.57 per share, or a total of 1.5 million shares.
     
     Funds for the redemption were provided through an increase to $100 million
     in the Company's credit facility with NationsBank and Credit Lyonnais and
     adding Societe Generale as a participant in such facility.  Interest on
     borrowings under such facility will be at floating and, through a rate
     swap, fixed rates, and such rates are expected to be marginally lower than
     the current interest rate being paid on the Debentures.  The Company
     anticipates extraordinary charges to earnings in the third quarter of 1995
     of approximately $2.6 million ($1.6 million after tax) in connection with
     the redemption.  These charges result primarily from the premium paid to
     redeem the Debentures and the acceleration of unamortized financing costs
     associated with the issuance of the Debentures in 1989.

8.   On May 15, 1995, the Company changed its name to Rexel, Inc.

9.   To offset the variable rate characteristic of its revolving line of
     credit, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements with major
     banks resulting in fixed interest rates of 6.31% on $15 million from June
     24, 1996 through June 25, 2001 and 6.435% on an additional $15 million
     from June 24, 1996 through June 23, 2003.

10.  In 1994, the Company sold its apparel parts and supplies distribution
     business ("Apparel") to WG, Inc. (the "Buyer") in exchange for
     consideration that included an 8% note due January 31, 2002 of the Buyer
     in the principal amount of $3 million (the "Note") and a warrant to
     purchase shares of common stock of the Buyer (the "Warrant").  On July 26,
     1995 the Company sold the Note, Warrant and certain other assets with a
     total aggregate book value of approximately $3.1 million to the Buyer for
     cash of approximately $4.1 million.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

The Board of Directors of
Rexel, Inc.:


We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of
Rexel, Inc. (the "Company") as of June 30, 1995, and the related condensed
consolidated statements of income for the three-month and six-month periods
ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 and the related condensed consolidated statements
of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making  inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken
as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1994, and the
related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and
cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report
dated March 15, 1995, except as to the information presented in the Note 5, for
which the date is March 30, 1995, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those
consolidated financial statements.  In our opinion, the information set forth
in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31,
1994 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the
consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

Results of Operations
---------------------
     
     Sales for the second quarter ended June 30, 1995 were up 9.2% to $288.7
million, compared with $264.5 million for the same period a year ago.
     
     Income from continuing operations was $4.9 million, or $.20 per share, for
the second quarter of 1995, compared to $2.8 million, or $.12 per share, for
the same period in 1994.  Included in the second quarter 1994 results were
charges totaling $0.7 million ($0.4 million net of tax), or $0.02 per share,
for severance, relocation and lease costs incurred in connection with the
Company's relocation of its corporate headquarters to Coral Gables, Fl.
     
     Sales for the six months ended June 30, 1995 were up 11.5% to $567.5
million compared with $509.1 million for the same period a year ago.
     
     Income from continuing operations was $9.2 million, or $.38 per share, for
the first six months of 1995 compared to $4.6 million, or $.20 per share, for
the same period in 1994.  Included in the six months ended June 30, 1994
results were charges totaling $2.8 million ($1.6 million net of tax), or $0.07
per share, consisting of the relocation charges mentioned above and charges in
the first quarter of 1994 associated primarily with the resignation of an
officer of the Company totaling $2.1 million ($1.2 million net of tax).
     
     As previously reported, in 1994 the Company sold its apparel parts and
supplies distribution businesses ("Apparel").  Accordingly, results of Apparel
are included as discontinued operations in 1994 results of operations.
     
     The following table sets forth the percentages which certain income and
expense items bear to net sales:

</TABLE>
<PAGE>
     
     The percentage increase in sales in the second quarter of 1995 was lower
than the first quarter of 1995, as residential construction slowed down.  Same
store sales were up 10.6% in the second quarter of 1995 and 12.4% for the first
six months of 1995 compared to the same periods in 1994.  While sales were up,
the gross profit percentage declined to 19.7% in the second quarter of 1995
from 19.9% in the 1994 period and to 19.8.% for six months ended June 30, 1995
from 20.2% in the 1994 period.  This decline is primarily attributable to the
increased percentage of total sales shipped direct from the vendor to the
customer, which historically have lower margins than sales from inventory, a
decline in the Company's Utility Division margins due to lower margins under
utility supply contracts and adjustment of inventory LIFO reserves of $0.8
million and $1.4 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended
June 30, 1995, reflecting the impact of inflation in copper and other products.
     
     Selling and administrative expenses increased $0.1 million and $0.4
million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995 as
compared to the comparable periods of the prior year.  Excluding the 1994
relocation charges and charges associated with the resignation of an officer
mentioned above, selling and administrative charges, as a percentage of sales,
were 15.8% and 16.1%, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June
30, 1995 as compared to 17.0% and 17.3%, respectively for the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1994.  These results reflect the benefits of cost control
programs initiated in 1994.
     
     Interest cost increased by $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively,
for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995 compared to the same periods
of the prior year.  However, $0.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively, was
allocated to the discontinued operations in the quarter and six months ended
June 30, 1994.  After giving effect to this allocation, interest expense
actually declined $0.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, for the quarter
and six months ended June 30, 1995 compared to the same periods of the prior
year as a result of lower levels of borrowing.

Liquidity; Capital Resources
----------------------------
     
     The Company's working capital requirements continue to be met by
internally generated funds and short-term borrowings.  Management believes
sufficient cash resources will be available to support its long-term growth
strategies through internally generated funds, credit arrangements and the
ability of the Company to obtain additional financing.  However, no assurance
can be given that financing will continue to be available on attractive terms.

     At June 30, 1995 the Company had cash of $15.3 million compared to cash at
December 31, 1994 of $23.8 million, and had $95.3 million of indebtedness for
borrowed money (including current installments and short-term debt) compared to
$119.7 million at December 31, 1994.  The decrease in debt is primarily the
result of the $16.7 million payment of the Company's 4.375% Senior Note paid
June 30, 1995 and the $7.1 million installment payment of the 9.78% Senior
Notes paid in March 1995.  As of June 30, 1995, there were no borrowings
outstanding under the Company's bank credit agreement and $40 million was
available for future borrowings.

     During the first six months of 1995 the Company's operating activities
provided $18.1 million in cash compared to $23.0 million for the first six
months of 1994.  Capital expenditures were $1.8 million in 1995 compared to
$4.4 million in 1994.

<PAGE>
     The Company had a current ratio of 1.7 at June 30, 1995 compared to 1.6 at
December 31, 1994.  The number of days cost of sales represented by inventory
was 69 days at June 30, 1995 compared to 75 days at December 31, 1994 and the
number of days sales represented by accounts receivable was 46 days at June 30,
1995 compared to 48 days at December 31, 1994.  Trade working capital turnover
improved to 7.6 at June 30, 1995 from 7.1 at December 31, 1994.  Excluding the
effects of LIFO reserves, average trade working capital declined $1.8 million
or 11.6% in the first six months of 1995 compared to 1994 while sales increased
$58.4 million or 11.5% for the same period, reflecting the results of improved
asset management.  The ratio of borrowings (debt) to stockholders' equity
improved to 0.7 at June 30, 1995 from 0.9 at December 31, 1994.

     On August 11, 1995, the Company redeemed all of its outstanding 7%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures Due 2014, which had an original principal
amount of $50 million.  Of such principal amount, $35.5 million was redeemed
for cash at a redemption price of 102.8% of principal, plus accrued and unpaid
interest to the redemption date, or a total redemption payment of $36.5
million.  The balance of the Debentures were converted in accordance with the
terms thereof into Common Stock of Rexel at a conversion price of $9.57 per
share, or a total of 1.5 million shares.

     Funds for the redemption were provided through an increase to $100 million
in the Company's credit facility with NationsBank and Credit Lyonnais and
adding Societe Generale as a participant in such facility.  Interest on
borrowings under such facility will be at floating and, through a rate swap,
fixed rates, and such rates are expected to be marginally lower than the
current interest rate being paid on the Debentures.  The Company anticipates
extraordinary charges to earnings in the third quarter of 1995 of approximately
$2.6 million ($1.6 million after tax) in connection with the redemption.  These
charges result primarily from the premium paid to redeem the Debentures and the
acceleration of unamortized financing costs associated with the issuance of the
Debentures in 1989.  Restrictive covenants under the credit facility and also
under the Company's existing 9.78% Senior Notes due March 15, 2001 were
modified to permit the redemption and be more in line with the Company's growth
objectives.

     To offset the variable rate characteristic of its revolving line of
credit, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements with major banks
resulting in fixed interest rates of 6.31% on $15 million from June 24, 1996
through June 25, 2001 and 6.435% on an additional $15 million from June 24,
1996 through June 23, 2003.
