                       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 three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 1994 and 1993 are net of allowance
     for doubtful accounts of $968,427 and $2,206,442, respectively. 
     Quarterly bad debt charges, net of recoveries, were $247,992 for 1994
     and $494,805 for 1993.

5.   The dollar amount of Noland Company's backlog of orders believed to be
     firm was approximately $36,250,698 at March 31, 1994.

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.

The Company generated $2.2 million in cash from operations during the first
three months of 1994, compared to $630,000 for the same year-earlier period. 
The cash was used for capital expenditures ($1.4 million), short and long-
term debt payments ($4.4 million) and dividend payments.  Management believes
the Company has adequate financial resources to meet the needs of the
foreseeable future.

Results of Operations
For the first quarter of 1994 the Company had net income of $256,000 or seven
cents per share compared to a net loss of $976,000 or 26 cents per share for
the first quarter of 1993. 

Sales for the first quarter of 1994 were up 9.9 percent compared to the first
quarter of 1993.  The Company was pleased with this improvement in light of
the extremely harsh winter weather that hit many parts of the South in the
early part of this year.  All four product departments contributed to the
sales increase.  The Company's gross margin of profit continued to improve,
increasing three-tenths of a percentage point over the year-earlier period. 
Operating expenses equaled the year-earlier period but were still higher than
gross profit, resulting in a $376,000 operating loss for the quarter.  1993's
first quarter operating loss was $2.2 million.

Interest expense declined by 5.8 percent, due to a $2.1 million reduction in
long-term debt versus a year ago.

The economic outlook remains bright, despite recent concerns about rising

interest rates.  Consumer confidence surged in March to the highest level in
nearly four years, prompting people to buy homes and other big-ticket items
they had been putting off.  Homebuilding activity, in particular, continues
to be the engine driving this recovery, and the Company is fully
participating in that key market.
