                   NOLAND COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY

       Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements


1.   In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
     consolidated financial statements of Noland Company and
     Subsidiary contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
     recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
     Company's consolidated financial position as of June 30, 1997,
     and its results of operations and cash flows for the three and
     six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.  The balance sheet as
     of December 31, 1996, was derived from audited financial
     statements as of that date.  The results of operations for the
     quarter ended June 30, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of
     the results to be expected for the full year.

2.   The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the
     Company's December 31, 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K are an
     integral part of the interim unaudited financial statements.
     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.  In
     addition, the Company makes certain estimates to compute the
     LIFO reserve and such estimates at interim may not be
     consistent with year-end results. Year-end inventory
     adjustments to reflect actual inventory levels are made in the
     fourth quarter.

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, 1997 and December 31, 1996
     are net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,008,132.
     Second quarter bad debt charges, net of recoveries, were
     $346,752 for 1997 and $269,577 for 1996.  Year-to-date bad
     debt charges, net of recoveries, were $642,082 for 1997 and
     $566,847 for 1996.

5.   Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings
     Per Share" is effective for periods ending after December 15,
     1997. Early application is not permitted. Adoption of SFAS NO.
     128 will not be material to the financial condition or results
     of operations of the Company.  Statements of Financial
     Accounting Standards No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income"
     and No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
     Related Information" are effective for periods beginning after
     December 15, 1997.  Earlier application is permitted. 
     Adoption of SFAS NO. 130 and 131 will not have a material
     effect on the financial condition or results of operations of
     the Company.

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 1997, the Company generated $8.9 million
in cash from operations which was used primarily to purchase
property and equipment, pay dividends and retire debt.  The
Company's financial condition remains strong with working capital
of $76.5 million and a current ratio of 2.4.  Management believes
the Company has adequate financial resources to meet the needs of
the foreseeable future. 

Results of Operations
Second-quarter sales of $117.7 million were 5.5 percent less than
the $124.6 million recorded in the second quarter of 1996.  The
unusually cool spring reduced demand for replacement air
conditioning equipment leading to a 13 percent drop in air
conditioning sales.  In addition the full benefits of the nine new
branches added through acquisition in the second half of 1996 have
not yet been realized.  Sales for the first six months of 1997 were
$228.6 million compared to $230.8 million for the year-earlier
period.
<PAGE>
The gross margin of profit for the second quarter increased to 19.4
percent compared to the year-earlier period's 19.1 percent, but was
offset by the sales decline, resulting in a decline in operating
profit to $205,000 from $2.5 million a year-ago.  Operating expenses
for the quarter of $22.6 million were six percent higher than the
$21.3 million for the year-earlier period.  For the first six
months, operating expenses were up 6.4 percent over the same period
a  year ago.  The nine new branches contributed to the increase in
operating expenses.

Interest expense for the quarter and year-to-date increased 15.5
percent and 12.9 percent, respectively.  The increases are largely
due to higher average daily borrowings required to finance the new
operations' inventories.

With the arrival of hot summer weather, the Company should see a
rebound in air conditioning sales in the third quarter.  Meanwhile,
the Company is focusing its energies on overcoming obstacles to
sales growth in underperforming branches, including newer
operations.  The Company has every reason to believe it can improve
on the second quarter's sales performance, but first-half
performance makes it unlikely that sales and profit targets for the
year will be achieved.

Included in this discussion are forward-looking management comments
and other statements which reflect management's current outlook for
the future.  Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of
future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those
anticipated in the statements.  Such risks and uncertainties
include, but are not limited to , general business and economic
conditions, climatic conditions, competitive pricing pressures, and
product availability.
