                        NOLAND COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
            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 nine
           months ended September 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 September 30, 1994 and 1993 are
           net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $968,427 and
           $2,206,442, respectively.  Third-quarter bad debt charges,
           net of recoveries, were $292,778 for 1994 and $486,930 for
           1993.  Year-to-date bad debt charges, net of recoveries,
           were $788,584 for 1994 and $1,466,479 for 1993.
  
     5.    The dollar amount of Noland Company's backlog of orders
           believed to be firm was approximately $35,868,787 at
           September 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.
<PAGE>
           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 grant each
           anniversary date, beginning at the end of the third year. 
           5,000 shares of stock were acquired in the third quarter of
           1994 at a cost of $102,500.  This amount has been charged to
           stockholders' equity and will be amortized to compensation
           expense 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 generates necessary cash 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 nine months of 1994, the Company generated $8.3
     million in cash from operations, compared to $16.1 million for
     the same period last year.  The decrease from a year ago is
     primarily due to an increase in inventory.  Cash from all sources
     increased $2.8 million for the first nine months compared to $5.1
     million for the first nine months of 1993.

     Management believes the Company's liquidity, capital resources
     and working capital are sufficient to meet the needs of the
     foreseeable future.

     Results of Operations
     Third-quarter sales of $117 million were 7.3 percent greater than
     the $109 million for the year-earlier period, but the results for
     individual product departments varied.  Stronger demand by
     manufacturing plants for the Company's maintenance, repair, and
     operating (MRO) supplies led to double-digit sales gains over the
     prior year for both the electrical and industrial departments. 
     The plumbing and heating department, which serves primarily the
     construction industry, achieved a five percent sales increase,
     while air conditioning department sales were virtually flat due
     to unusually mild late-summer weather.

     The gross margin of profit was slightly higher than that of the
     year-earlier period, and operating expenses rose by only 6.5
     percent.  This combination, coupled with the higher sales, led to
     a 46.8 percent increase in operating profit for the quarter, from
     $1.1 million in 1993 to $1.7 million for the period just ended.

     Interest expense was up by 12.1 percent, due to higher interest
     rates and increased inventories.  Total borrowings as of
     September 30 were $6.8 million more than one year earlier but
     $230,000 less than December 31, 1993.

     Third-quarter net income of $1.5 million, or 39 cents per share
<PAGE>
     was 24.9 percent greater than 1993's third-quarter earnings of
     $1.2 million, or 32 cents per share; it was also the highest
     third-quarter net income since 1988.

     At the end of nine months, sales were 9.1 percent greater than a
     year ago, at $330 million.  Net income totaled $3.3 million, or
     89 cents per share, compared to $633,000 or 17 cents per share
     for the first three quarters of 1993.

     As the Company entered the final months of 1994, rising mortgage
     rates were having a dampening effect on single-family housing
     starts, which could reduce demand for the Company's products. 
     However, multi-family construction is rebounding in many markets,
     and factory production continues to expand.  As long as inflation
     remains in check, the overall demand for our products and
     services should provide us with ample sales opportunities in the
     fourth quarter.

     Helping sales prospects in the final two months of the year will
     be a new Hanover, Pa., branch, which opens for business October
     31 following the acquisition of the principal assets of an
     established plumbing and air conditioning supply house in that
     community.  The new Hanover branch is the Company's first
     location in the state of Pennsylvania.
