         Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements


1.    In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
      consolidated statements of income contain all adjustments
      (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
      present fairly the results of operations for the six months
      ended June 30, 1994 and 1993.

2.    The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the
      Company's December 31, 1993 Annual Report on Form 10-K are an
      integral part of the interim unaudited financial statements
      and remain substantially unchanged.  The Company takes a
      physical inventory annually on December 31 of each year. 
      Interim period cost of goods sold is determined by costing
      sales as follows: stock items at current acquisition costs;
      direct shipments from manufacturers to customers at identified
      cost.  Elements of cost that are finally determinable only at
      year-end have been considered by management.

3.    Due to the seasonal nature of the construction industry
      supplied by the registrant, interim results of operations of
      each period are not necessarily indicative of earnings for the
      year.

4.    Accounts Receivable as of June 30, 1994 and 1993 are net of
      allowance for doubtful accounts of $968,427 and $2,206,442,
      respectively.  Second quarter bad debt charges, net of
      recoveries, were $247,814 for 1994 and $484,744 for 1993. 
      Year-to-date bad debt charges, net of recoveries, were
      $495,806 for 1994 and $979,549 for 1993.

5.    The dollar amount of Noland Company's backlog of orders
      believed to be firm was approximately $41,109,394 at June 30,
      1994.

6.    At the April 20, 1994 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the
      stockholders approved a restricted stock plan for certain
      senior executives of the company.

   Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (cont'd)




      The plan covers in the aggregate 50,000 shares of common stock
      and provides for annual grants to certain senior executives of
      up to an aggregate of 10,000 shares of restricted stock each
      year.  Participants may not dispose or otherwise transfer
      stock granted for three years from date of grant. 
      Restrictions lapse at the rate of 20% of the stock per year,
      beginning in the third year.  Upon issuance of stock, unearned
      compensation equal to the cost to acquire the stock will be
      charged to stockholders' equity and subsequently amortized
      over a seven year period.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company generally generates its cash needs through: (1) cash
flow from operations; (2) short-term borrowings; (3) bank lines of
credit arrangements, when needed; and (4) additional long-term debt.

For the first six months of 1994, the Company generated $11.7
million in cash from operations, compared to $11.2 million for the
same period last year.  The cash was used to purchase property and
equipment, pay off short-term debt, and reduce long-term debt and
pay dividends.  Management believes the Company has adequate financial
resources to meet the needs of foreseeable future. 

Results of Operations
Second-quarter sales of $115.9 million were 10.3 percent greater
than the $105.2 million recorded in the second quarter of 1993.  The
construction industry and the manufacturing sector were operating
at healthy levels, creating strong demand for our products and
services.  Sales for all four product departments increased, led by
the industrial department's 15 percent gain in sales of maintenance,
repair and operating supplies.  In addition, the air
conditioning/refrigeration department established a new all-time
monthly sales record in June, indicating this should be a very good
summer for the sale of air conditioning replacement equipment.

The overall gross margin of profit on sales remained at recently
improved levels and operating expenses rose by only 3.8 percent.
Operating profit for the second quarter of 1994 totaled $1,804,000 
compared to $469,000 for the year-earlier period.

Interest expense rose 2.6 percent in the second quarter, due to
higher short-term interest rates and increased inventories and
accounts receivable.

Adversely affecting profits in the second quarter of 1993 was a
$419,000 loss on the sale of the Company's former North Little Rock,
Ark., branch property, which reduced net income by $253,760, or
seven cents per share.  

For the first six months, Noland's sales totaled $212,983,000, for
<PAGE>
Managements Discussion & Results of Operations (cont'd) 



a 10.1 percent increase over the year-earlier period.  Net income
for the first half of 1994 totaled $1,833,000, or 50 cents per
share, versus a first-half 1993 net loss of $544,000, or 15 cents
per share.

Prospects are good for continued strength in the Company's key
markets in the coming months. Although there are growing concerns
about inflation and the prospect of further hikes in interest rates. 
Employment is growing and consumer confidence is high, both of which
bode well for demand for housing and consumer goods.
