                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of INTERMAT International
Materials Management Engineers, Inc. d/b/a INTERMAT as of December 31, 1996 and
the related statements of operations and retained earnings, and cash flows for
the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.


We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of INTERMAT International
Materials Management Engineers, Inc. d/b/a INTERMAT as of December 31, 1996 and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


          BUSINESS ACTIVITY:


          INTERMAT International Materials Management Engineers, Inc., d/b/a/
          INTERMAT (the "Company") provides cataloging services utilizing a
          standard modifier dictionary and related software programs which
          assist companies with their materials management, purchasing,
          warehousing, inventory control, and maintenance and repair function.
          INTERMAT's primary clients include electric utility companies,
          petrochemical complexes, food and beverage plants, and paper
          manufacturing plants.

          CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:


          Cash equivalents include demand deposits in banks, money market
          accounts, and highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or
          less.


          PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:

          Equipment is recorded at cost. Additions, improvements and major
          renewals are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as
          incurred. Depreciation is computed primarily using accelerated methods
          over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: office
          furniture and fixtures - 5 to 7 years; software and computer equipment
          - 4 to 5 years; leasehold improvements - 10 years. Depreciation
          expense totaled $112,470 for the year ended December 31, 1996.

          REVENUE RECOGNITION:


          Revenues from cataloging services are generally recognized through
          monthly progress billings as contract milestones are reached or work
          is completed. Direct costs on contracts in progress are recorded as
          work-in-process until related billings are rendered to the customer.
          Where contracts allow for advance billings, such billings are recorded
          as "deferred revenue" until such services are actually rendered or
          products delivered to the customer. Revenues from sales of software
          licensing are generally recognized upon product delivery to the
          customer.

Note 1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

          CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE COSTS:

          Computer software costs that are classified as research and
          development costs are expensed when incurred. These costs include the
          costs of planning, product design, program design, and other costs
          incurred in establishing technological feasibility. Subsequent to the
          determination of technological feasibility, costs are capitalized in
          accordance with Financial Accounting Standard No. 86 - Accounting for
          the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise
          Marketed. Capitalization of computer software costs is discontinued
          when the product is available to be sold, leased, licensed, or
          otherwise marketed. The Company's policy is to amortize capitalized
          software costs by the greater of the ratio that current gross revenues
          for the product bear to the total of current and projected future
          gross revenues for the products, or the straight-line method over the
          remaining estimated economic life of the product. Unamortized computer
          software costs at December 31, 1996 totaled $145,112. Amortization
          expense totaled $49,000 for the year ending December 31, 1996 and is
          included in direct costs in the statement of operations. In addition
          to the amortization expense noted above, the Company charged $77,000
          in 1996 to general and administrative expense relating to a
          capitalized amount which was written down to net realizable value.


          The net carrying amount of its capitalized software costs and
          subsequent realization is subject to management estimates and
          uncertainty. The estimates and uncertainty relate to the projection of
          future years' revenues and useful lives that are made at the date of
          the financial statements. Conditions and circumstances may change that
          could cause such estimates to change.

          PROFIT SHARING PLAN AND 401(k) PLAN:


          The Company has a profit sharing plan and a 401(k) plan covering
          substantially all its employees. Contributions to the plans are
          determined by the Board of Directors. Employer contributions vest
          ratably over seven years. For the year ended December 31, 1996, the
          Company contributed $26,610 to the 401(k) plan. There were no
          contributions in 1996 to the profit sharing plan.

NOTE 1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


          CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK:

          The Company's financial instruments that are subject to concentrations
          of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and
          accounts receivable. The Company provides cataloging services to
          utility, petrochemical, food and beverage, and paper companies in
          various states (66% of revenue, 58% of receivables), Saudi Arabia (11%
          of revenue, 22% of receivables) , South Africa (8% of revenue, 3% of
          receivables), Canada (7% of revenue, 17% of receivables), and other
          foreign countries (8% of revenue). A breakdown of service revenue for
          1996 by customer types is as follows:


                   Utilities                                   31%
                   Petrochemical                               32%
                   Food and beverage                           15%
                   Paper                                        7%
                   Other                                       15%


          Collateral is not required for credit extended to the Company's
          customers.

          ASSET VALUATION:


          The carrying amount of long-life assets is reviewed periodically.  If
          the asset carrying amount is not recoverable, the asset is considered
          to be impaired and the value is adjusted.

          VACATION ACCRUAL:


          The Company records a liability for employees' compensation for future
          absences as earned. The Company's policy is to allow an employee to
          carry over an amount equal to the previous year's earned balance plus
          one week. Management, at its discretion, may allow a carryover amount
          in excess of the normal amount.

          MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES:


          The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
          accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
          and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
          liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
          date of such financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
          and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
          from those estimates.

NOTE 2.   RETAINAGE RECEIVABLE


          Retainage receivable at December 31, 1996 represents the amount
          withheld by the Company's customers in accordance with the terms of
          the contracts. Retainage is deducted from the monthly invoices
          rendered by the Company and held until successful completion of the
          project. Of the total retainage receivable of $197,436 at December 31,
          1996, $185,956 is retained by two companies in Saudi Arabia. Prior to
          the release of the retainage by these companies, the Saudi Arabian
          Department of Zakat and Income Tax must review the contracts for
          proper payment of taxes, if any. Management of the Company expects the
          review process to be completed in 1997 and the amounts collected in
          full.


NOTE 3.  NOTE PAYABLE - BANK LINE OF CREDIT

          Note payable of $400,000 at December 31, 1996 consists of amounts
          drawn on a bank line of credit. Interest is payable quarterly at bank
          prime (7.75%) plus 1%. Principal is due at maturity on March 29, 1997.
          The note is collateralized by accounts receivable and is guaranteed by
          the stockholders of the Company. The note has a maximum borrowing
          limit of $400,000.

          The Company is subject to various financial and operating covenants
          related to its bank line of credit agreement. At December 31, 1996,
          the Company was not in compliance with those covenants. On January 28,
          1997, the line of credit was repaid in full in connection with the
          sale of the Company. See Note 9.


NOTE 4.   LOANS FROM STOCKHOLDERS

          Loans from stockholders at December 31, 1996 represent amounts
          advanced to the Company under note agreements that bear interest at
          8.5%. Interest is payable quarterly with principal due upon demand.
          The notes are unsecured. Interest paid to the related parties totaled
          $19,165 in 1996. On January 28, 1997, the loans were repaid in full in
          connection with the sale of the Company. See Note 9.


NOTE 5.   PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENT

          Retained earnings at the beginning of 1996 was adjusted to correct the
          recognition of deferred revenue in prior years. The effect of the
          adjustment was to increase beginning deferred revenue and to decrease
          beginning retained earnings by $144,425.

NOTE 6.   INCOME TAXES

          The Company has elected to be treated as an S Corporation under the
          Internal Revenue Code. Under this provision, the net taxable income of
          the Company and any related tax credits are deemed to pass
          proportionately to the stockholders and are included in their personal
          returns even though such net taxable income or tax credits may not
          actually have been distributed. Accordingly, no tax provision has been
          made in the financial statements since the income tax is a personal
          obligation of the stockholders.


NOTE 7.   OPERATING LEASES

          The Company leases office facilities and office equipment under
          long-term lease agreements which have been classified as operating
          leases.  Minimum future lease payments under these leases are as
          follows:

                    1997                     $  160,996
                    1998                         51,500
                    1999                         11,332
                    2000                          9,043
                                             ----------
                            Total            $  232,871
                                             ----------
                                             ----------

          Rent expense for the year ended December 31, 1996 totaled $156,147.


NOTE 8.   COMMITMENTS


          In 1996, the Company began developing a new version of its standard
          modifier dictionary and related software templates and programs. The
          Company estimates spending approximately $500,000 in 1997 on these
          projects.

NOTE 9.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

          On January 28, 1997, the Company merged into a subsidiary of a
          publicly traded corporation. The parties intend to treat the
          transaction as a sale of assets for tax purposes.


          Prior to the merger on January 28, 1997, the Board of Directors of
          Intermat terminated employment agreements with key management
          employees. The employees were given $4.4 million of consideration for
          the termination of the agreements.

                                December 31, 1996

                                   (unaudited)

On January 28, 1997, Strategic Distribution, Inc. (the "Company") acquired all
of the issued and outstanding common stock of INTERMAT International Materials
Management Engineers, Inc. ("INTERMAT"), a Texas corporation that provides
cataloging services and develops and supplies software for maintenance, repair
and operations ("MRO") inventory cataloging. The Company intends to continue to
use INTERMAT's assets in connection with its business of providing proprietary
industrial supply procurement and handling solutions.  The purchase price (which
was determined as the result of arms-length negotiations between the parties)
consisted of $10,800,000 in cash, a promissory note in the amount of $1,400,000
and 625,000 newly issued shares of the Company's common stock valued at
$2,406,250.  Concurrent with the closing, the Company paid off  INTERMAT's
outstanding bank note in the amount of $400,000 and INTERMAT's loan from a 
stockholder in the amount of $250,000.

The pro forma combined balance sheet gives effect to the acquisition as if
INTERMAT was purchased on December 31, 1996.  The pro forma combined statement
of operations for the year ended December 31, 1996 gives effect to the 
acquisition of INTERMAT as if the transaction occurred on January 1, 1996.

The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results
that actually would have occurred had the transaction been in effect on the date
and for the period indicated or which may result in the future.
