              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 April 30,
     1999, the results of operations for the three months ended April
     30, 1999 and 1998, and cash flows for the three months then ended.
     The results of operations for the three months ended April 30, 1999
     are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
     for the full year.

     The fiscal year of the Company is a 52-week period ending on the
     last Friday in January.  The three months ended April 30, 1999 and
     1998 each contained 13 weeks.

     Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by
     the weighted-average number of shares outstanding.  Diluted
     earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the
     weighted-average number of shares outstanding, adjusted for
     dilutive potential common shares.  The weighted-average number of
     shares used in calculating basic earnings per share were 23,863,000
     and 23,601,000 for the three months ended April 30, 1999 and 1998,
     respectively.  In calculating diluted earnings per share, these
     amounts were adjusted to include dilutive potential common shares
     of 377,000 and 273,000 for the three months ended April 30, 1999
     and 1998, respectively.

2.   During the three months ended April 30, 1999, the Company acquired
     three wholesale distributors of materials to the construction
     industry that were accounted for as purchases.  These acquisitions,
     individually and in the aggregate, 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 March 15, 1999, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to
     repurchase up to 2.5 million of its outstanding shares of common
     stock.  During the three months ended April 30, 1999, the Company
     repurchased 723,900 shares for a total cost of $15.8 million or an
     average of $21.81 per share.

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 April 30, 1999, and the results of operations for the
three months then ended.

Certain statements set forth in Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations, including but not limited
to certain statements made regarding the Year 2000 Issue (as
subsequently defined), constitute "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange 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 contained herein
and in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29,
1999.

Material Changes in Results of Operations

Net Sales

Net sales were $711 million for the quarter ended April 30, 1999, an 18%
increase over the prior year's first quarter.  Approximately one-half of
the increase in net sales was attributable to branches acquired and
opened after January 31, 1998.  The remainder of the increase was
attributable to same-store sales, which increased 9% over the prior
year's first quarter.

The same-store sales increase of 9% for the quarter ended April 30, 1999
was primarily attributable to (i) continued growth of construction
activity throughout the Company's market areas and (ii) strong demand
across each of the Company's three major product categories: Fluid
Control Products, Electrical Products and Specialty Products.  This
increase was partially offset, however, by the impact of lower prices on

                                Page 8
certain commodity-based products, as further discussed below.

Gross Profit

Gross profit and gross margin for the three months ended April 30, 1999
and 1998 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

                                1999        1998           Variance
                              --------    --------     ----------------
     Gross profit             $156,358    $129,277     $27,081      21%
     Gross margin                22.0%       21.5%

The improvement in gross margins resulted from several factors,
including the Company's expansion of higher-margin product groups
through acquisitions, efficiencies created with central distribution
centers and enhanced purchasing power.  The enhanced purchasing power
was attributable to increased volume and concentration of supply sources
as part of the Company's preferred vendor program.

Although the gross margin percentage for the three months ended April
30, 1999 was relatively unaffected by lower pricing of certain
commodity-based products, total gross profit dollars for the quarter
were negatively impacted by these declines.  The lower pricing was the
result of continued deflationary pressure over the past year on the
pricing of certain of the Company's products whose manufacture is
reliant on certain commodities, including stainless steel, nickel
alloys, copper, aluminum and plastic.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended April 30, 1999 and 1998
were as follows (dollars in thousands):

                                1999        1998           Variance
                              --------    --------     ----------------
     Operating expenses       $129,378    $105,872     $23,506      22%
     Percentage of net sales     18.2%       17.6%

Approximately 12 percentage points of the 22% increase in operating
expenses for the three months ended April 30, 1999 was attributable to
branches acquired and opened after January 31, 1998.  The remainder of
the increase was primarily due to (i) higher personnel and
transportation costs associated with same-store sales growth and (ii)
higher expenses associated with the Company's program of upgrading its
information technology ("IT") systems.  Although upgrading the IT
systems has increased operating expenses, the Company believes this
investment will provide a platform for future growth and enable it to
realize more administrative synergies from past and future acquisitions.





                                Page 9
Interest Expense

Interest expense was $6.8 million and $6.3 million for the three months
ended April 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, an 8% increase.  The
increase was primarily the result of higher borrowing levels, partially
offset by lower interest rates.  The higher borrowing levels were
primarily due to the Company's (i) expansion through business
acquisitions, which has been partially funded by debt financing, and
(ii) share repurchases.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rates for the three months ended April 30, 1999
and 1998 were 40.5% and 37.9%, respectively.  Prior to the merger with
Winn-Lange Electric, Inc. ("Winn-Lange") on June 30, 1998, Winn-Lange
was a Subchapter S corporation and therefore, not subject to corporate
income tax.  Winn-Lange's Subchapter S corporation status terminated
upon the merger with the Company.  As a result, the Company's effective
tax rate was higher for the three months ended April 30, 1999 compared
to the prior year period.

Net Income

Net income was $13.4 million for the first quarter compared to $11.6
million for the prior year's first quarter, a 15% increase.  Diluted
earnings per share for the first quarter were $.55 compared to $.49 in
the prior year's first quarter.  These improved results reflect
operating leverage that has been achieved through the Company's
acquisition and internal growth programs, and the resulting purchasing
synergies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital at April 30, 1999 totaled $577 million compared to $567
million at January 29, 1999.  The working capital ratio was 3.0 to 1 and
3.5 to 1 as of April 30, 1999 and January 29, 1999, 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 $16.6 million for the three months
ended April 30, 1999 compared to a break-even cash flow from operations
for the three months ended April 30, 1998.  This change was primarily
the result of (i) the Company's improved profit levels and (ii) an
increase in accounts payable resulting from extended payment terms
offered by certain vendors of several of the Company's seasonal product
groups.

The Company's expenditures for property and equipment were $7.0 million
for the three months ended April 30, 1999 compared to $6.1 million for
the three months ended April 30, 1998.  Capital expenditures for


                                Page 10
property and equipment, excluding amounts for business acquisitions, are
expected to be approximately $35 million for fiscal 2000.

Cash payments for business acquisitions accounted for as purchases
totaled $31.5 million for the three months ended April 30, 1999 compared
to $.6 million for the three months ended April 30, 1998.

Principal reductions on long-term debt were $6.7 million for the three
months ended April 30, 1999 compared to $9.6 million for the same period
in the prior year.  These amounts were primarily attributable to the
repayment of debt assumed as a result of certain business acquisitions.
Dividend payments were $2.1 million and $2.5 million during the three
months ended April 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  Dividend payments
of $2.5 million during the three months ended April 30, 1998 included
cash dividends of pooled companies totaling $.7 million.

As of April 30, 1999, the Company had approximately $110 million of
unused borrowing capacity (subject to borrowing limitations under long-
term debt covenants) to fund ongoing operating requirements and
anticipated capital expenditures.  The Company also believes it has
sufficient borrowing capacity to take advantage of growth and business
acquisition opportunities and to fund share repurchases in the near
term.  The Company expects to continue to finance future expansion on a
project-by-project basis through additional borrowing or through the
issuance of common stock.

On March 15, 1999, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to
repurchase up to 2.5 million of its outstanding shares of common stock.
During the three months ended April 30, 1999, the Company repurchased
723,900 shares for a total cost of $15.8 million or an average of $21.81
per share.

Year 2000 Issue

Many existing computer programs use only two digits to identify a year
in the date field.  As the century date change occurs, these programs
may recognize the year 2000 as 1900, or not at all.  If not corrected,
many computer systems and applications could fail or create erroneous
results by or at the year 2000 (the "Year 2000 Issue").

The Company has developed plans to address its possible exposures
related to the impact of the Year 2000 Issue on each of its internal
systems and those of third parties.  These plans are expected to be
implemented primarily with the use of internal personnel.

The Company's internal systems consist of its central operating and
accounting systems, which handle the majority of its business
transactions, and other remote operating systems, which have resulted
from the Company's acquisition program.  Plans to address the Year 2000
Issue with respect to the Company's internal systems include an
assessment phase, a remediation phase and a testing phase.


                                Page 11
All required modifications to the Company's central operating system
were completed in December 1998.  This system was thoroughly tested and
the modifications were implemented into the production environment.  The
Company has installed an upgraded, vendor-certified year 2000 compliant
version of its accounting system.  The Company's own internal
verification and validation testing for year 2000 compliance of the
accounting system was completed in May 1999.  With respect to these two
systems, the Company does not anticipate that the Year 2000 Issue will
materially impact its operations or operating results.

As of May 31, 1999, the Company had 26 remote operating systems in
place.  One of these systems utilizes a customized business software
application that the Company is testing for year 2000 compliance.  The
remaining 25 systems utilize commercially available business software
applications.  Of these 25 systems, eight are certified year 2000
compliant by their vendors.  The remaining 17 systems are expected to be
converted by October 31, 1999 to one of the eight vendor-certified year
2000 compliant systems that are expected to be in use on January 1,
2000.

The Company has successfully completed its own internal verification and
validation testing for year 2000 compliance on two of the eight vendor-
certified year 2000 compliant systems that are expected to be in use on
January 1, 2000.  Testing of the remaining six systems is currently
underway and is expected to be completed by October 31, 1999.  All
additional remote operating systems added after May 31, 1999 as a result
of the Company's acquisition program will be assessed, remediated and
tested to the extent that is necessary to ensure year 2000 compliance,
or converted to one of the Company's systems that is expected to be year
2000 compliant.

Management estimates total pretax costs relating to the Year 2000 Issue
to be approximately $2 million.  Approximately 36% of these costs were
incurred through April 30, 1999 and the remaining costs are expected to
be incurred through March 2000.  The estimate of $2 million excludes
certain costs of converting remote operating systems to the Company's
other year 2000 compliant systems, because such costs are not expected
to be material or the conversion is scheduled to be performed as part of
the Company's normal integration activities.  Approximately $1 million
of the estimated total pretax costs of $2 million are personnel and
other expenses related to the Company's Year 2000 Project Team, which is
expected to remain intact through the turn of the century.  The
remaining estimated cost of $1 million is expected to be incurred
primarily in connection with the remediation and testing of the
Company's remote operating systems.

The Company has contacted its major suppliers, customers and service
providers regarding their Year 2000 Issues to assess the risk of these
entities not being able to continue to provide goods and services to the
Company.  Through May 31, 1999, approximately 38% of the entities
contacted have responded.  Of those entities who have responded,
approximately 45% have indicated that their systems are year 2000

                                Page 12
compliant, and the remaining entities have indicated that they have
programs in place to address their respective organization's Year 2000
Issues.  The Company plans to continue to evaluate the year 2000
readiness of its major suppliers, customers and service providers, and
to follow up with those entities that have not responded.

The Company believes its planning efforts are adequate to address the
Year 2000 Issue.  There are, however, certain risks that the Company
cannot directly control, including the readiness of its major suppliers,
customers and service providers.  Failure on the part of any of these
entities to timely remediate their Year 2000 Issues could result in
disruptions in the Company's supply of materials, disruptions in its
customers' ability to conduct business and interruptions to the
Company's daily operations.  Management believes that its exposure to
third party risk may be minimized to some extent because it does not
rely significantly on any one supplier or customer.  There can be no
guarantee, however, that the systems of other third parties on which the
Company's systems and operations rely will be corrected on a timely
basis and will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

As the Company receives and evaluates additional information provided by
third parties regarding their year 2000 readiness, the Company intends
to develop contingency plans, as deemed necessary, to safeguard its
ongoing operations.  Such contingency plans may include identifying
alternative suppliers or service providers, stockpiling certain
inventories if alternative sources of supply are not available,
evaluating the impact and creditworthiness of non-compliant customers
and the addition of borrowing capacity if deemed necessary to finance
higher levels of inventory or working capital on an interim basis.
