NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE THREE MONTHS
ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 AND 1998 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 31, 1999.
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.
2. INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net income per share is based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding and net income. Diluted net income per share is based
on the weighted average of common shares outstanding plus the effect of
dilutive employee stock options and net income. Basic and diluted earnings per
share were the same for the first quarter of 1999 and 1998.
3. REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenues when goods are shipped.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(UNAUDITED)
SUMMARY
Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 increased $4,191,000 or
10.4% from the same quarter in 1998. Net income was 1 cent per share on
1,876,000 average shares outstanding compared to 3 cents per share on 1,855,000
average shares as of March 31, 1998. Gross margin improvement of $390,000 in the
first quarter of 1999 over the same period in 1998 was offset by
disproportionately higher warehouse costs resulting in lower earnings per share
on a quarter to quarter basis.
NET SALES
Warehouse shipments increased $2,866,000 or 11.4% and factory direct
shipments increased $1,325,000 or 8.6% compared to the three months ended March
31, 1998. The Company has been making a concerted effort through coordinated
sales planning and activities to develop new business utilizing warehouse
shipments. The increase in factory direct shipments reflects record sales at a
Dealers' Mart held during the quarter and the Company's expanded efforts to
increase sales of lumber and building materials.
Gross margins on direct shipments are lower than gross margins on
warehouse shipments; however, expenses related to direct shipments are also
lower. While the trend toward factory direct shipments has resulted in
decreased gross margins, the Company believes that direct shipments are an
important part of its business as a full-service wholesale distributor.
The following table sets forth the major elements of net sales:

GROSS MARGIN
The gross margin percentage for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 was
14.5%, down from 15.0% in the first quarter of 1998. The decrease is due to
competitive pricing pressures and to slightly higher cost of merchandise
charged to the Company by its suppliers. These factors were offset somewhat by
the decrease in factory direct shipments as a percentage of total sales.
The following table sets forth the gross margin dollars, gross margin
percentages and year-over-year changes for 1998 and the first quarter of 1999:

WAREHOUSE AND DELIVERY EXPENSES
As a percentage of warehouse shipments, warehouse and delivery expenses

</TABLE>
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense decreased $46,000 or 12.6% during the first quarter of
1999 compared to the same period during 1998. Although net trade receivables
increased during this period, this asset was financed primarily through
extended terms from our suppliers. Inventory levels were reduced compared to
the first quarter in 1998 and December 31, 1998, despite record sales at our
Spring Dealers' Mart (See Liquidity and Capital Resources). Additionally,
interest on the Company's working capital line of credit is charged at the
prime rate which was 8.50% during the first quarter of 1998 and was 7.75%
during the same period in 1999.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
From December 31, 1998 to March 31, 1999, the Company's net trade
receivables increased by $6,371,000 or 26.3%. The increase was due to the
higher level of sales in March 1999 (which includes shipment of orders taken at
a Dealers' Mart held in February) and because of extended terms given to
customers as a part of the sales promotion conducted in the first quarter of
1999.
Inventories decreased by $1,465,000 or 8.3% in the three months ended
March 31, 1999. Additionally, inventories decreased $260,000 or 1.6% compared
to March 31, 1998, as the Company continues its efforts to reduce inventory
levels while maintaining its high "fill rate" (the percentage of items shipped
within 48 hours of the receipt of an order) on customer orders.
Trade payables increased $5,916,000 or 30.1% from December 31, 1998,
because of extended
-10-
<PAGE> 11
terms received from suppliers in connection with the Dealers' Mart.
At March 31, 1999, the Company had unused lines of credit of
$5,673,000, which it believes are adequate to finance its working capital
requirements.
Interest Rate Risk
The following discussion about the Company's interest rate risk includes
"forward looking statements" that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual
results could differ materially from those projected in the forward looking
statements.
The Company's principal credit agreement and the Company's lease with
respect to industrial development bonds issued to finance the Company's
principal warehouse distribution facility both bear a floating interest rate
based on, in the case of the credit agreement, the prime rate or at the
Company's option 2 1/2% over LIBOR, and in the case of the industrial
development lease, based on 92% of the prime rate. Accordingly, the Company is
subject to market risk associated with changes in interest rates. At March 31,
1999, $14,327,000 was outstanding under the credit agreement and $2,278,000 was
outstanding under the industrial development lease agreement. For 1998, the
average principal amount outstanding under the credit agreement was
$12,039,000. Assuming the average amount outstanding under the credit agreement
during 1999 is equal to such average amount outstanding during 1998 and
assuming the Company makes its scheduled amortization payments on its
industrial development lease of $769,000 in 1999, a 1% increase in the
applicable interest rate during 1999 would result in additional interest
expense of approximately $60,000, which would reduce cash flow and pre-tax
earnings dollar for dollar.
IMPACT OF YEAR 2000
The Company is in the process of modifying or replacing those portions of
its software which are used in the ordinary course of the Company's business so
that its computer, telephone and other systems will function properly with
respect to dates of the year 2000 and thereafter. Based on its current
assessment of which portions of the software and hardware must be modified, the
Company estimates the cost of the year 2000 project will be approximately
$200,000, of which $39,000 has been expended through the first quarter of 1999.
The Company anticipates that the required modifications will be largely
completed in a timely fashion between now and year end and does not anticipate
any material interruption of its business stemming from the failure of its
software and hardware to be year 2000 compliant. The Company is focusing its
efforts on those systems which it believes are essential to its ability to
conduct its operations in the ordinary course of business and anticipates that
the modification, replacement and testing of those systems will be largely
completed by the end of the third quarter of 1999.
The Company has made an assessment of the year 2000 compliance of most
of its embedded microchips and other micro-processors in the non-information
technology equipment that it uses in its operations. While it is impossible to
be certain, the Company presently anticipates that it will be able to repair or
replace non-year 2000 compliant equipment as necessary without material
disruption to it operations.
Even though the Company is in the process of converting its computer
and other systems so that they will be year 2000 compliant, it is possible that
third parties with whom the Company does business will encounter problems with
their systems that may have an adverse impact on the Company. The Company has
not ascertained the year 2000 compliance of the approximate 1,400 suppliers
of the products it distributes. However, no supplier accounts for more than
4.5% of the Company's total purchases and substantially all products of the
type distributed by the Company are available from a number of manufacturers.
The Company has no contingency plan for addressing possible disruptions in
utility service to the Company stemming from year 2000 problems, such as power,
telephone and the like, but will rely on those suppliers to address their year
2000 issues in a timely manner so as to avoid a material disruption of service
to the Company.
The Company is unable to predict with any certainty the reasonable
worst case scenario for disruption to its operations stemming from year 2000
issues. These could range from minor disruption of its operations requiring
temporary work-around solutions that may involve additional overtime or other
unanticipated costs, to the potential for lost sales and additional costs to
repair or replace equipment if the Company encounters greater disruption than
is currently anticipated.
INFORMATION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain of the statements contained in this report (other than the
financial statements and other
-11-
<PAGE> 12
statements of historical fact) are forward-looking statements. Words such as
"expects", "believes", "estimates", "anticipates", "in the process", "could",
"target" and "objective" indicate the presence of forward-looking statements.
There can be no assurance that future developments will be in accordance with
management's expectations or that the effect of future developments on the
Company will be those anticipated by management. Among the factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from estimates reflected in such
forward-looking statements are the following:
- - competitive pressures on sales and pricing, including those from other
wholesale distributors and those from retailers in competition with the
Company's customers;
- - the Company's ability to achieve projected cost savings from its warehouse
modernization program and ongoing cost reduction efforts;
- - changes in cost of goods and the effect of differential terms and conditions
available to larger competitors of the Company;
- - uncertainties associated with any acquisition the Company may seek to
implement;
- - changes in general economic conditions, including interest rates; and
- - impact of year 2000 on the Company's operations, including issues relating
to the compliance or lack thereof by third-party suppliers.
