       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, 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 March 31, 1996 and 1995 are net of
     allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,008,132 and $968,427,
     respectively.  Quarterly bad debt charges, net of recoveries,
     were $297,270 for 1996 and $214,563 for 1995.  

5.   The dollar amount of Noland Company's backlog of orders
     believed to be firm was approximately $40,531,320 at March 31,
     1996.

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's financial condition remains strong with working
capital of $71.4 million and a current ratio of 2.5.  Total debt at
March 31, 1996 was $8.9 million less than at March 31, 1995.
Management believes the Company has adequate financial resources to
meet the needs of foreseeable future. 

Results of Operations
For the first-quarter of 1996 the Company had net income of
$527,000, or 14 cents per share, compared to net income of $1.1
million or 29 cents per share, for the first quarter of 1995.     

Sales of $106.2 million for the first quarter of 1996 were down 4.9
percent compared to sales of $111.7 million for the first quarter
of 1995.  The decline in sales can be attributed to harsh winter
weather, which slowed construction activity more than usual,
reducing the demand for our products.  By contrast, the $111.7
million in sales for 1995 was a record for any first quarter.  The
Company is confident that much of the first quarter's sales
shortfall represents business that was deferred -- not lost. 
Coupled with the arrival of the spring building season, we expect
the pent-up demand to translate into stronger sales in the second
quarter.  The Company's gross margin of profit increased slightly
over the year-earlier period from 19.2 percent to 19.4 percent,
while operating expenses were held flat with the year-earlier
period.

Interest expense declined by 8.7 percent, reflecting lower interest
rates and lower investments in accounts receivable and inventory. 

The Company continues to believe that business conditions will be
somewhat better in 1996 than last year, and that the Company is in
a good position to capitalize on them.
