          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, 1995 and 1994.

2.    The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the
      Company's December 31, 1994 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, 1995 and 1994 are net of
      allowance for doubtful accounts of $968,427 and $968,427,
      respectively.  Second quarter bad debt charges, net of
      recoveries, were $247,673 for 1995 and $247,814 for 1994. 
      Year-to-date bad debt charges, net of recoveries, were
      $462,236 for 1995 and $495,806 for 1994.

5.    The dollar amount of Noland Company's backlog of orders
      believed to be firm was approximately $43,270,172 at June 30,
      1995.

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 from bank lines of
credit arrangements, when needed; and (3) additional long-term debt,
when needed.

For the first six months of 1995, the Company generated $6.2 million
in cash from operations, compared to $11.7 million for the same
period last year.  The cash was used primarily to purchase property
and equipment, 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 $123.6 million were 6.6 percent greater than
the $115.9 million recorded in the second quarter of 1994.  Much of
the increase in sales came from operations opened late last year. 
Same-branch sales increased 2.1 percent.  Two of our key markets --
housing construction and factory production -- slowed more than
expected in the second quarter, limiting demand for our products. 
Second quarter sales did however benefit from stronger activity in
the nonresidential construction segment, which includes office
buildings, manufacturing plants and utility expansions.  Direct
shipment sales, which typically involve large commercial
construction projects, were up 21 percent.  Sales for the air
conditioning/refrigeration, electrical and plumbing and heating
departments increased 16 percent, 14 percent and three percent,
respectively.  Industrial department sales were down slightly from
the year-earlier period.  Sales for the first six months of 1995 were
$235.3 million compared to $213 million for the year-earlier period.

The gross margin of profit as a percent of sales increased five-
tenths of a percentage point for both the quarter and year-to-date. 
The increase for the quarter and year-to-date is primarily due to
management refining its quarterly inventory adjustments.

Operating expenses for the quarter were $21 million compared to
$19.8 million for an increase of 6.1 percent from the year-earlier
period.  For the first six months, operating expenses were $41.5
million versus $38.2 million a year-ago.  Operating expenses as a

percent of sales declined for both the quarter and first six months
compared to the year-earlier periods.

Interest expense for the quarter and year-to-date increased 42.0
percent and 36.4 percent, respectively.  The increases are due to
higher interest rates and larger investments in accounts receivable
and inventories.

Net income for the quarter was $1,932,023 or 52 cents per share
compared to $1,577,655 or 43 cents per share for the second quarter
of 1994.  All of the increase of nine cents per share came from the
refinement in quarterly inventory adjustments.  For year-to-date,
net income was $3,015,158 or 81 cents per share compared to
$1,833,439 or 50 cents per share for the year earlier period.  The
inventory adjustment added 19 cents per share.

We were not ecstatic about our performance in the second quarter
because it fell short of our expectations, but we have reasons to
be optimistic about the remainder of the year.  Housing construction
is showing signs of improving, and the recent drop in interest rates
should give it an additional boost.  Unusually mild weather this
spring had an adverse impact on replacement air conditioning
equipment sales, which should translate into a surge in demand this
summer.  Also, there are indications that factory production is
rising, which would create greater demand for our industrial
supplies.
