                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995 IS UNAUDITED)


1.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION.

       The financial statements included herein have been prepared by
Moore-Handley, Inc. (the "Company"), without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes
that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission on March 29, 1996.

       The financial information presented herein reflects all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary to a fair statement of the results of the interim
periods.  The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
results to be expected for the year.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                  (UNAUDITED)


       Operations during the second and third quarters were disrupted due to
major changes and improvements being made to the warehouse.  We estimate that
additional expenses and a lower than normal service level resulting from the
disruption reduced net income for the quarter and nine months by about $500,000
and $950,000, respectively.

NET SALES

       Warehouse shipments for the quarter and year to date were up about 4%
compared to the same quarter last year.  However, the Company estimates that
warehouse shipments would have been about $1,100,000 and $2,600,000 higher for
the quarter and nine months, respectively, if a normal service level had been
maintained.

       The following table sets forth the major elements of net sales:

WAREHOUSE AND DELIVERY EXPENSES

       As a percentage of warehouse shipments, warehouse and delivery expenses
for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 increased to 10.3% compared to 8.1%
for the same quarter last year.  This increase and the similar increase that
occurred in the second quarter were due to increased costs associated with the
warehouse modernization project.  This project was completed, for the most
part, in the middle of the third quarter.  We anticipate that productivity will
begin to improve in the fourth quarter.

       The following table shows the trend in warehouse and delivery expenses
in 1995 and the first three quarters of 1996:

SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

       Selling and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30,
1996 were up $211,000 or 6.2% compared to the same quarter last year.  However,
as a percent of sales these expenses increased by only .1% in same quarter of
1995.  A large part of the increase was due to one time expense reductions
which occurred in the third quarter of 1995.  For the nine months these
expenses were up $737,000 compared to the prior year.  Almost half of the
increase was due to the accrual in the second quarter of severance pay to two
terminated employees.

       The following table shows the trend in selling and administrative
expenses in 1995 and the first three quarters of 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

       Capital expenditures of $1,670,000 for warehouse modernization were made
during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 which were financed under a
$2,000,000 five year term loan.

       Trade receivables at September 30, 1996 were up $2,202,000 from December
1995.  The increase was due to the higher level of sales in September 1996
(which include orders taken at a Dealers' Mart in August) compared to December
1995.  Because of extended payment terms received from suppliers in connection
with the mart, the increase in receivables is offset by an increase in trade
payables.

       At September 30, 1996 the Company had unused working capital lines of
credit of $3,000,000, which it believes are adequate to finance its working
capital requirements.
