                   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 six months
     ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.

2.   The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the
     Company's December 31, 1995 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.  The
     Company uses estimated gross profit rates to determine cost of
     goods sold during interim periods.

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, 1996 and 1995 are net of
     allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,008,132 and $968,427,
     respectively.  Second quarter bad debt charges, net of
     recoveries, were $269,577 for 1996 and $247,673 for 1995. 
     Year-to-date bad debt charges, net of recoveries, were
     $566,847 for 1996 and $462,236 for 1995.

5.   The dollar amount of Noland Company's backlog of orders
     believed to be firm was approximately $43,211,821 at June 30,
     1996.

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,
when needed.

For the first six months of 1996, the Company used $6.3 million in
cash primarily to purchase property and equipment and pay dividends. 
The Company's financial condition remains strong with working
capital of $70.6 million and a current ratio of 2.3.  Management
believes the Company has adequate financial resources to meet the
needs of foreseeable future. 

Results of Operations
Second-quarter sales of $124.6 million were only slightly greater
than the $123.6 million recorded in the second quarter of 1995. 
Sluggish economic conditions in some parts of our 15-state territory
contributed to the disappointing sales performance in the second
quarter.  The air conditioning/refrigeration department enjoyed
double-digit sales growth, industrial department sales were flat,
and the electrical and plumbing and heating departments recorded
sales declines.  Sales for the first six months of 1996 were $230.8
million compared to $235.3 million for the year-earlier period.

The gross margin of profit for the second quarter remained the same
as the year-earlier period's at 19.1 percent.  Operating expenses
for the quarter of $21.3 million were only slightly higher than the
$21 million for the year-earlier period.  For the first six months,
operating expenses were up only one percent over a yearago. 

Interest expense for the quarter and year-to-date decreased 22.4
percent and 16.2 percent, respectively.  The decreases are largely
due to substantial reductions in our inventory investment.

We are anticipating a better sales performance in the third quarter
and another record sales year although the full-year total likely
will fall short of our target established at the beginning of the
year.
