1.   The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
     accounts of Strategic Distribution, Inc. and subsidiaries (the
     "Company").  These financial statements  have been prepared in
     accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  In the opinion of
     management, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring accruals)
     considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
     operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 and
     1994 have been included.  The statements should be read in conjunction
     with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in
     the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
     1994.

     Inc. ("Lewis"), acquired certain assets of the Industrial Supplies
     Division of Lufkin Industries, Inc., (the "Lufkin Division").  The
     purchase price consisted of:  (i) $2,040,000 in cash and (ii) a mortgage
     note in the amount of $600,000.  The source of the cash portion of the
     purchase price was borrowings under a revolving bank facility.

     On May 12, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock
     of American Technical Services Group, Inc. ("ATSG").  The purchase price
     consisted of options to purchase an aggregate of 1,006,516 shares of the
     Company's Common Stock at a price of $6.00 per share.  The fair market
     value of these options, as determined by an independent investment bank,
     was $1,560,100.

     Presented below is an unaudited pro forma condensed statement of income
     for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.  The applicable
     pro forma adjustments give effect in 1994 to the acquisition of the
     Lufkin Division as if such acquisition occurred on January 1, 1994, and
     the applicable pro forma adjustments give effect in 1994 and 1995 to the
     acquisition of ATSG as if such acquisition occurred on January 1 of each
     period.

Three Months Ended September 30, 1995 Compared to Three Months Ended
September 30, 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1995 increased 55.2% to
$31,926,589 from $20,568,439 in 1994. For the 1995 period, $14,992,267 of
revenues were from In-Plant Store[SM] facilities and $16,934,322 were from
Local Branches (including sales and service locations). For the 1994 period,
$8,046,895 of revenues were from In-Plant Store[SM] facilities and $12,521,544
were from Local Branches.  Internal growth, primarily from ISA, accounted for
69.3% of the increase.  The balance of the increase came from the inclusion of
the results of operations of ATSG for the three months ended September 30,
1995.  One customer (dealing with the Company under four separate contracts)
represented approximately 10.8% and 14.0% of the revenues for the three months
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.

Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues increased to 79.6% for the three
months ended September 30, 1995 from 76.5% for the comparable period in 1994.
The increase resulted primarily from the higher percentage of sales from
ISA's In-Plant Store[SM] program which has lower margins than the Company's
Local Branch program.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues
decreased to 18.6% for the three months ended September 30, 1995 from
20.8% for the comparable period in 1994.  The improvement resulted primarily
from the higher percentage of sales from ISA's In-Plant Store[SM] program
which has lower levels of selling, general and administrative expenses than
the Company's Local Branch program.  Despite the fact that ISA's In-Plant
Store[SM] program has a lower level of selling, general and administrative
expenses than the Company's Local Branch program, ISA's selling, general and
administrative expenses have increased as a percentage of ISA's revenue,
primarily as a result of expenses incurred by ISA in connection with its
expansion of the In-Plant Store[SM] program.

Interest expense, net decreased by $269,003 to $38,056 for the three months
ended September 30, 1995 from interest expense, net of $307,059 in 1994.  The
decrease in interest expense, net resulted primarily from the repayment of the
Company's bank indebtedness with the net proceeds from the sale of 5,750,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock on October 13, 1994.

The Company had no Federal income tax expense for the three months ended
September 30, 1994 due to its utilization of a net operating loss
carryforward, which was not previously recognized.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1995 was $317,391 as
compared to net income of $248,516 for the comparable period in 1994.  This
change was primarily the result of the items previously discussed.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995 Compared to Nine Months Ended
September 30, 1994
- ------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 increased 50.2% to
$84,557,180 from $56,308,657 in 1994.  For the 1995 period, $37,587,785 of
revenues were from In-Plant Store[SM] facilities and $46,969,395 were from
Local Branches (including sales and service locations).  For the 1994 period,
$23,342,660 of revenues were from In-Plant Store[SM] facilities and
$32,965,997 were from Local Branches.  Internal growth, primarily from ISA,
accounted for 62.7% of the increase.  The balance of the increase came from
the inclusion of the results of operations of the Lufkin Division and ATSG
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  One customer (dealing with the
Company under four separate contracts) represented approximately 10.6% and
16.7% of the revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.

Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues increased to 78.1% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 from 76.7% for the comparable period in 1994.

shares of the Company's Common Stock on October 13, 1994, and interest income
earned on the remaining net proceeds.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

SafetyMaster and Lewis maintain a revolving bank credit facility which
provides maximum borrowings at any time of $15,000,000 for SafetyMaster and
$5,000,000 for Lewis (with the aggregate amount borrowed not to exceed
$15,000,000).  SafetyMaster and Lewis are permitted to make loans to ISA
under the credit facility, subject to certain limitations set forth therein.
The credit facility expires on January 4, 1997.  $825,000 was borrowed under
the credit facility as of September 30, 1995.  The amount that SafetyMaster
and Lewis may borrow under the credit facility is based upon a percentage of
eligible accounts receivable and inventory.  The maximum availability at
September 30, 1995 was  $15,000,000.  Under the credit facility,
SafetyMaster, Lewis and ISA are restricted from paying any dividends to the
Company other than semi-annual payments equal to 50% of after tax income
(calculated on the basis of taxes actually paid). The Company and its
subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return.  The credit
facility is

collateralized by substantially all of the subsidiaries' assets (net book
value of approximately $34,177,000) and a pledge of all the capital stock of
SafetyMaster, Lewis, ISA and SafetyMaster's wholly-owned subsidiary, Coulson
Technologies, Inc.  The Company and ISA have also guaranteed the full and
prompt payment of all liabilities of SafetyMaster and Lewis under the credit
facility.

On October 13, 1994, the Company sold 5,750,000 shares of Common Stock in an
underwritten public offering (the "Offering").  The net proceeds to the
Company were $15,405,500.  The Company's bank indebtedness was repaid, with
the balance of the proceeds available for working capital, for general
corporate purposes and for possible corporate acquisitions.

The net cash used in operating activities was $2,121,702 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995, down from $3,300,916 in the comparable period in
1994, principally as a result of a smaller increase in inventories, an
increase in deferred taxes, and accounts payable and accrued expenses which
were partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable.

The Company believes that cash on hand, cash generated from operations and
cash from the Company's bank credit facility will generate sufficient funds to
permit the Company to meet its liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.

The Company has stated its intention to seek further acquisition
opportunities.  If the Company is able to identify satisfactory acquisitions,
the source of funds for such acquisitions will be internally generated cash
and cash from future borrowings or sales of equity, although there is no
guarantee that the Company would be successful in raising funds from such
sources.
