              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
       (unaudited) (dollars in thousands, except per share data)

1.   In the opinion of Hughes Supply, Inc. (the "Company"), the
     accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain
     all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
     necessary to present fairly the financial position as of October
     31, 1997, the results of operations for the three months and nine
     months ended October 31, 1997 and 1996, and cash flows for the nine
     months then ended.

     The fiscal year of the Company is a 52- or 53-week period ending on
     the last Friday in January.  Fiscal year 1998 will be a 52-week
     period while fiscal year 1997 was a 53-week period.  The nine
     months ended October 31, 1997 and 1996 contained 39 weeks and 40
     weeks, respectively, and the quarters ended October 31, 1997 and
     1996 each contained 13 weeks.

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per
     Share ("SFAS 128").  SFAS 128, which supersedes Accounting
     Principles Board Opinion No. 15, establishes standards for
     computing and presenting earnings per share.  SFAS 128 is effective
     for financial statements issued for periods ending after December
     15, 1997 and, accordingly, will be adopted by the Company
     commencing with its period ending January 30, 1998.  When adopted,
     all prior-period earnings per share data are required to be
     restated.  The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 128 to
     have a material effect on the calculation of its earnings per
     share.

2.   During the nine months ended October 31, 1997, the Company acquired
     nine wholesale distributors of materials to the construction
     industry for cash and stock.  These acquisitions have been
     accounted for as purchases or immaterial poolings and did not have
     a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the
     Company.  Results of operations of these companies from their
     respective dates of acquisition have been included in the
     consolidated financial statements.

3.   On August 18, 1997, the Company's revolving credit and line of
     credit agreement (the "credit agreement") with a group of banks was
     amended.  The credit agreement, as amended, now permits the Company
     to borrow up to $180,000 (subject to borrowing limitations under
     the credit agreement), $130,000 of which is long-term debt,
     expiring August 17, 2000, and $50,000 of which is a line of credit
     convertible to a term note due two years from conversion date.

        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
       (unaudited) (dollars in thousands, except per share data)

     On August 28, 1997, the Company issued $80,000 of senior notes due
     2012 in a private placement.  The notes, of which $40,000 bear
     interest at 7.14% and $40,000 bear interest at 7.19%, will be
     payable in 21 and 13 equal semi-annual payments beginning in 2002
     and 2006, respectively.  Proceeds received by the Company from the
     sale of the notes were used to reduce indebtedness outstanding
     under the Company's credit agreement.

     In connection with the issuance of the senior notes, on August 27,
     1997 the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement.  The
     interest rate swap agreement effectively converts the Company's
     $40,000 of 7.19% senior notes due 2012 from fixed-rate debt to
     floating-rate debt based on six-month London Interbank Offered
     Rates (LIBOR) less a predetermined spread.

4.   On May 20, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors declared a three-
     for-two stock split to shareholders of record as of July 10, 1997. 
     The date of issuance for the additional shares was July 17, 1997. 
     Accordingly, all share and per share data have been restated for
     periods prior to the stock split.

     On May 20, 1997, the shareholders approved an amendment to the
     Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company increasing the
     number of authorized shares of common stock from 20,000,000 to
     100,000,000 shares, $1.00 par value per share.

     On August 20, 1997, the Company granted 50,000 shares of restricted
     stock with a market value of $1,300 to certain key employees.  The
     market value of the restricted stock was recorded as unearned
     compensation and is being charged to expense over the shorter of
     the 10-year vesting period, or the period of time from the date of
     grant through the date when the employee reaches age 65.

     On September 30, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors increased
     the regular quarterly cash dividend from $.075 per share to $.08
     per share effective for the third quarter dividend which was
     payable on November 14, 1997 to shareholders of record on November
     3, 1997.

6.   Subsequent events:

     On November 24, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to
     acquire all of the common stock of Mountain Country Supply
     ("Mountain Country").  Mountain Country is a wholesale distributor
     of plumbing supplies, water and sewer equipment and supplies, and
     HVAC equipment and supplies with 10 locations in Arizona.  Mountain
     Country's sales for its current fiscal year ending December 31,
     1997 are expected to be approximately $100,000.  The transaction
     will be accounted for as a purchase.  The acquisition is subject to
     a number of contingencies including certain regulatory approvals. 
     It is anticipated that the transaction will close in January 1998.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition 
          and Results of Operations

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain
significant factors which have affected the financial condition of the
Company as of October 31, 1997, and the results of operations for the
three and nine months then ended.

As described in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, on May 20, 1997 the Company's Board of Directors declared a
three-for-two stock split to shareholders of record as of July 10, 1997. 
Accordingly, all share and per share data have been restated for periods
prior to the stock split.

Certain statements set forth in Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations constitute "forward-
looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Act of 1934,
as amended, and are subject to the safe harbor created by such sections. 
When used in this report, the words "believe," "anticipate," "estimate,"
"expect," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-
looking statements.  Although the Company believes that the expectations
reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give
no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.  The
Company's actual results may differ significantly from the results
discussed in such forward-looking statements.  When appropriate, certain
factors that could cause results to differ materially from those
projected in the forward-looking statements are enumerated.  This
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Company's
consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.

Material Changes in Results of Operations

Net Sales

Net sales were $486 million for the quarter ended October 31, 1997, a
20% increase over the prior year's third quarter.  Net sales for the
nine months were $1.37 billion which was 19% ahead of last year.  On a
basis comparable to the prior year, the Company experienced a same-store
net sales increase of 6% and 7% for the three and nine months ended
October 31, 1997, respectively.  The remaining increase in net sales is
attributable to newly-opened and acquired wholesale outlets.





                                Page 12
The same-store sales increase of 6% for the third quarter was below the
high single-digit increases the Company has achieved in recent years. 
This was primarily due to the adverse impact that mild and wet weather
had on air conditioning and pool product sales.  On the other hand, two
of the Company's newest product groups, water and sewer and industrial
pipe, valves and fittings, achieved double-digit same-store sales
increases which helped offset the decline in same-store sales growth.  

Gross Profit

Gross profit and gross margin for the three and nine months ended
October 31, 1997 and 1996 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

         Three months ended     $ 104,898       21.6%        $  85,461       21.1%        $ 19,437       22.7%
         Nine months ended      $ 293,925       21.5%        $ 236,400       20.5%        $ 57,525       24.3%
</TABLE>

The improvement in gross margins has resulted from several factors,
including expansion of product offerings to lines with better margins,
efficiencies created with central distribution centers, increased
volume, and concentration of supply sources as part of the Company's
preferred vendor program. 

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three and nine months ended October 31, 1997
and 1996 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

October 31, 1997, respectively, is attributable to newly-opened
wholesale outlets and recent acquisitions.  The remainder of the
increase is primarily due to higher personnel expenses, including health
care costs, and higher transportation costs associated with same-store
sales growth.

Non-Operating Income and Expenses

Interest and other income increased $.2 million and decreased $.9
million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 1997,
respectively, over the prior year periods.  The decrease of $.9 million
for the nine month period is primarily attributable to non-recurring
gains recognized on the sale of property and equipment in the prior
year. 




                                Page 13
Interest expense was $4.9 million and $13.3 million for the three and
nine months ended October 31, 1997 compared to $3.7 million and $9.6
million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 1996,
respectively.  The increases are the result of higher borrowing levels
partially offset by lower interest rates.  Expansion through business
acquisitions has been partially funded by debt financing.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended October 31,
1997 and 1996 were as follows:

                                    1997           1996 
                                                       
     Three months ended             39.5%          37.6%
     Nine months ended              39.5%          37.8%

Prior to the mergers on April 26, 1996 with Electric Laboratories and
Sales Corporation and ELASCO Agency Sales, Inc. (collectively, "ELASCO")
and January 24, 1997 with Metals, Incorporated and Stainless Tubular
Products, Inc., all three entities were Subchapter S corporations and,
therefore, not subject to corporate income tax.  Each entity's
Subchapter S corporation status terminated upon the merger with the
Company.  As a result, the Company's effective rate is higher for the
three and nine months ended October 31, 1997 compared to the prior year
periods.  The Company's effective tax rate for the three and nine months
ended October 31, 1996 would have been approximately 40% assuming
ELASCO, Metals, Incorporated and Stainless Tubular Products, Inc. were
tax paying entities. 

Net Income

Net income for the third quarter increased 26% to $13.1 million.  Fully
diluted earnings per share for the third quarter were $.70 compared to
$.61 in the prior year, a 15% increase with 11% more shares outstanding.

For the nine months ended October 31, 1997, net income reached $33.2
million, a 32% increase over the nine months ended October 31, 1996. 
Fully diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended October 31,
1997 and 1996 were $1.81 and $1.64, respectively.  This increase of 10%
was on 19% more shares outstanding.    

These improved results reflect operating leverage that has been achieved
through the Company's acquisition program and the resulting purchasing
and administrative synergies, as well as through internal growth. 
Operating margins (operating income as a percentage of net sales) have
improved to 5.2% and 4.7% for the three and nine months ended October
31, 1997, compared to 4.8% and 3.9% for the three and nine months ended
October 31, 1996, respectively.





                               Page 14 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital at October 31, 1997 amounted to $389 million compared to
$330 million at January 31, 1997.  The working capital ratio was 3.1 to
1 and 3.3 to 1 as of October 31, 1997 and January 31, 1997,
respectively.  The Company typically becomes more leveraged in
expansionary periods.  Consequently, higher levels of inventories and
receivables, trade payables and debt are required to support the growth.

Net cash provided by operations was $2.1 million for the nine months
ended October 31, 1997 compared to $8.0 million for the nine months
ended October 31, 1996.  This change is primarily due to increases in
accounts receivable and inventories resulting from the Company's growth.

Expenditures for property and equipment were $28.1 million for the nine
months ended October 31, 1997 compared to $11.8 million for the nine
months ended October 31, 1996.  Capital expenditures for property and
equipment, not including amounts for business acquisitions, are expected
to be approximately $32 million for fiscal year 1998.

Cash payments for business acquisitions accounted for as purchases
totaled $8.1 million for the nine months ended October 31, 1997.  In
addition, the Company issued approximately 607,000 of its common shares
valued at approximately $15.2 million for such purchases.   

Principal reductions on long-term debt were $10.7 million for the nine
months ended October 31, 1997 compared to $14.3 million for the prior
year nine months.  These amounts are attributed primarily to the
repayment of debt assumed as a result of certain business acquisitions. 
Dividend payments were $3.9 million during the nine months ended October
31, 1997 and $4.5 million (including $2.4 million in cash dividends of
pooled companies) during the nine months ended October 31, 1996.

As discussed in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, in August 1997 the Company issued $80 million of senior
notes in a private placement.  The proceeds of this offering were used
to reduce indebtedness outstanding under the Company's bank debt.

Management believes that the Company has sufficient borrowing capacity,
with approximately $92 million available under its existing credit
facilities (subject to borrowing limitations under long-term debt
covenants) as of October 31, 1997, to take advantage of growth and
business acquisition opportunities and has the resources necessary to
fund ongoing operating requirements and anticipated capital
expenditures.  Future expansion will continue to be financed on a
project-by-project basis through additional borrowing, or, as
circumstances allow, through the issuance of common stock.
