                       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, 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 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, 1995 and 1994 are net of
      allowance for doubtful accounts of $968,427 and $968,427,
      respectively.  Quarterly bad debt charges, net of recoveries,
      were $214,563 for 1995 and $247,992 for 1994.  

5.    The dollar amount of Noland Company's backlog of orders
      believed to be firm was approximately $44,581,173 at March 31,
      1995.

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

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

The Company generated $4.2 million in cash from operations during
the first three months of 1995, compared to $8.1 million for the
same year-earlier period.  The cash was used primarily for capital
expenditures totaling $2.6 million.  Principal changes in financial
condition from December 31, 1994 to March 31, 1995 include an
increase in inventory of $8.1 million and an increase in accounts
payable of $15.1 million.  The main reason for the increases in
inventory and accounts payable from year-end 1994 to March 31, 1995
is due to the normally reduced level of inventory buying in
December, the low point of the Company's operating cycle and to the
steadily increased inventory purchasing as the business cycle moves
into the spring and summer busy seasons.  Management believes the
Company has adequate financial resources to meet the needs of
foreseeable future. 

Results of Operations
For the first-quarter of 1995 the Company had net income of $1.1
million, or 29 cents per share, compared to net income of $256,000,
or seven cents per share for, the first quarter of 1994.      

Sales for the first quarter of 1995 were up 15.1 percent compared
to the first quarter of 1994 to a total of $111.7 million.  The
$111.7 million in sales was a record for any first quarter.  Healthy
economic conditions in construction and manufacturing, along with
five more branches and milder winter weather than a year ago,
contributed to the improved sales total.  Excluding the new
branches, sales increased 11 percent.  The Company's gross margin
of profit increased six-tenths of a percentage point over the year-
earlier period.  This increase is primarily due to management
refining its quarterly inventory adjustments.  Operating expenses
increased 11.2 percent over first quarter 1994 mainly due to new
operations and increased personnel cost.

<PAGE>
Interest expense increased by 30 percent, due to higher interest
rates and larger accounts receivable and inventory investments.

The Company remains optimistic about 1995, despite indications
economic growth is slowing.  Orders for future delivery are up 23
percent over a year ago, and the economy appears conducive to
continued strong demand for our products and services.
