                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             (dollars in thousands)



   1.  Basis of Presentation:

   The accompanying financial statements include the consolidated accounts of
   Sun Distributors L.P. (the "Company") and its subsidiary partnership, SDI
   Operating Partners, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership").  All significant
   intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.  The Operating
   Partnership is a wholesale distributor of industrial products comprised of
   three product groups with eleven operating divisions and an inventory
   management services division.  Certain divisions have operations in Canada
   and Mexico.

   The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes are
   unaudited, except for the balance sheet as of December 31, 1994; however, in
   management's opinion all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
   accruals) considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial
   position, income and cash flows for the periods shown have been reflected.
   Results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of those to be
   expected for the full year.

   Certain information in note disclosures normally included in financial
   statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
   principles has been condensed or omitted pursuant to Form 10-Q requirements
   although the Company believes that disclosures are adequate to make the
   information presented not misleading.  It is suggested that these financial
   statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
   and notes thereto included in the Company's report on Form 10-K for the year
   ended December 31, 1994.

   2.  Related Party Transaction:

   In March 1995, the Operating Partnership paid the 1994 management fee of
   $3,330 due the General Partner, SDI Partners I, L.P. (the "GP").

   3.  Gain on Sale of Division:

   On January 3, 1995, the Operating Partnership sold certain assets of Dorman
   Product for a cash consideration, net of expenses, of approximately $35,500
   (subject to certain post-closing adjustments) and the assumption of certain
   liabilities.  The Operating Partnership recorded a gain on the sale in the
   amount of $16,500 or $.75 per Class B interest included in the consolidated
   statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 1995.  The aggregate
   assets sold, net of liabilities, in connection with the sale of Dorman
   Products was approximately $19,000.

   4.  Extraordinary Loss:

   During the first quarter of 1995, the Company recorded an extraordinary loss
   of $629 or approximately $.03 per Class B limited partnership interest due to
   early extinguishment of a portion of the Company's Series A 9.08% and Series
   B 8.44% senior notes.  The extraordinary loss consists entirely of prepayment
   penalties.  (See Note 5, Lines of of Credit and Long-Term Debt).

                             (dollars in thousands)


   5.  Lines of Credit and Long-Term Debt:

   As of March 31, 1995, the Operating Partnership had $39,774 available under
   its $50,000 Bank Credit Agreement which provides revolving credit for working
   capital purposes and acquisitions.  The Company had no bank borrowings
   outstanding at March 31, 1995 under the Bank Credit Agreement.  The $10,226
   outstanding under the Bank Credit Agreement represented letter of credit
   commitments only.

   The Operating Partnership has other confirmed credit facilities available in
   the amount of $500 for letter of credit commitments.  As of March 31, 1995,
   there were no letters of credits issued under this facility.  In addition, an
   indirect, wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary of the Operating Partnership has a
   $2,500 Canadian dollar line of credit for working capital purposes of which
   $290 USD was outstanding at March 31, 1995.

   In connection with the sale of the Electrical Group divisions in December
   1994 and the Dorman Products division in January 1995, the Operating
   Partnership was required to offer the holders of its senior notes prepayment
   in the amount of $14,175 which the noteholders accepted.  Prepayment of the
   senior notes was made on March 14, 1995, including accrued interest thereon
   of $360 and a prepayment penalty of $629.  (See Note 4 - Extraordinary Loss.)


   6.  Contingencies:

   Certain legal proceedings are pending which are either in the ordinary course
   of business or incidental to the Company's business.  Those legal proceedings
   incidental to the business of the Company are generally not covered by
   insurance or other indemnity.  In the opinion of management, the ultimate
   resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on the
   consolidated financial position, operations or cashflows of the Company.

Results of Operations

    Three Months Ended March 31, 1995 and March 31, 1994
    ----------------------------------------------------

First quarter 1995 net income of $19.2 million included a $16.5 million gain
from the sale of the Company's Dorman Products division on January 3, 1995 and
an extraordinary loss of $.6 million related to the early extinguishment of
debt.  Net income increased $.2 million or 5.9% from the amount earned in the
prior year quarter of $4.2 million, excluding these items and first quarter 1994
income from divisions sold (Dorman and the Electrical Group divisions sold in
December 1994).

First quarter sales were $154.8 million compared with $175.1 million recorded in
the prior year period.  Excluding $34.6 million in 1994 sales from the
aforementioned divisions sold, net sales increased $14.3 million or 10.2% from
the first quarter of 1994.  1995 sales results reflect internal growth
strategies developed in the early '90's and continued economic expansion across
all of the Company's product markets.    The change in sales by product group
excluding divisions sold are as follows:

    Glass Products Group                             (.1) million       (.5)%
</TABLE> 

The sales decline in the Glass Products group is attributable to the
discontinuation of certain product lines and markets served resulting in a sales
reduction of $1.3 million from the prior year quarter.  On a comparable basis,
sales increased $1.2 million or 4.0% in the Glass Products group.

Total cost of sales for the first quarter of 1995 decreased $14.3 million or
13.3% from the comparable quarter in 1994 due primarily to the aforementioned
divisions sold.  Excluding 1994 cost of sales from divisions sold, cost of goods
sold increased $8.9 million or 10.6% due primarily to increased sales levels in
the comparison period.

Gross margins in the first quarter of 1995 were 39.7% compared with 38.5% in the
1994 period.  The increase is due mainly to the divestiture of Dorman and the
Electrical Group divisions which, in the aggregate, earned gross margins lower
than that of the Company on a consolidated basis.

A comparative summary of gross margins by product group, excluding divisions
sold, is as follows:

Excluding the divisions sold, gross margins were 39.7% in the first quarter of
1995 compared to 39.9% in the comparable period in 1994.  The decrease is due
primarily to changes in sales mix in the Glass Products group.

Total selling, general and administrative ("S,G&A") expenses decreased $4.0
million or 6.9% during the three months ended March 31, 1995, compared with the
first quarter of 1994.  Excluding divisions sold, SG&A expenses increased by
$6.0 million or 12.6% from the first quarter of 1994, comprised as follows:
increased selling expenses of $3.2 million or 14.8%, increased warehouse and
delivery expenses of $1.0 million or 10.8% and increased general and
administrative expenses of $1.8 million or 10.8%.  The increase in SG&A expenses
supports increased 1995 sales levels and expansion programs by certain operating
units.

S,G&A expenses, excluding divestitures, as a percentage of sales were as follows
in the first quarter of 1995 and 1994:

</TABLE>

The increase in S,G&A as a percentage of sales is due mainly to increased sales-
persons support payments, incentive programs and marketing efforts.

As calculated in accordance with the partnership agreement, the management fee
due the General Partner (the "GP") annually amounts to $3.3 million which is
based on 3% of the aggregate initial capital investment ($111 million) of the
limited partners.  The management fee is accrued each quarter in the amount of
approximately $.8 million.

Depreciation expense decreased $.3 million in the comparison period due
primarily to a reduction in the depreciable fixed asset base as a result of the
divestiture of Dorman Products and the Electrical Group divisions.

Amortization expense decreased $.2 million in the comparison period due
primarily to a reduction in goodwill and other intangible assets as a result of
the divisions sold.

Interest income increased $.3 million in the comparison period due primarily to
investment of surplus cash generated from the sale of operating divisions
previously mentioned.

Interest expense decreased $.4 million in the comparison period due primarily to
reduced borrowing levels under the Company's revolving credit facility
aggregating $.2 million of interest expense savings and the prepayment of senior
notes on March 14, 1995 in the amount of $14.2 million which resulted in $.2
million of interest expense savings.

Currently, the Company incurs state and local income taxes on its domestic
operations and foreign income taxes on its Canadian and Mexican operations.
Also, the Company provides for deferred income taxes as determined in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes, which represent state and federal income tax benefits expected to be
realized after December 31, 1997, when the Company will be taxed as a
corporation.

                                       9

The allocation of net income to the GP is based on the GP's 1% ownership
interest in the profits of the Company.  The allocation of net income to the
limited partners for financial statement purposes represents a 99% interest in
the profits of the Company.  The net income allocation resulted in $.27 per
Class A limited partnership interest for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 and
March 31, 1994; and $.74 of income per Class B limited partnership interest in
the first quarter of 1995, compared with $.05 of income per Class B limited
partnership interest in 1994.  The first quarter 1995 results include the gain
from sale of the Dorman Products division of $.75 per Class B interest and the
extraordinary loss of $.03 per Class B interest.

Excluding the extraordinary loss related to the early extinguishment of debt and
the gain on the sale of Dorman Products division, income per Class B limited
partnership interest amounted to $.01 in the first quarter of 1995 compared with
$.05 in the first quarter of 1994.


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

Net cash used in operations during the first quarter of 1995 was $4.0 million,
compared with net cash provided by operations in the 1994 first quarter of $2.8
million, a difference of $6.8 million.  The change was due primarily to
increased working capital reinvestment in operations in the comparison period of
approximately $6.4 million.  The Company's net interest coverage ratio (earnings
before interest, taxes, gain from the sale of Dorman and the extraordinary loss
over net interest expense) improved to 2.91 in the first quarter of 1995 from
2.72 in the comparable prior year period.

The Company's cash position of $12.0 million as of March 31, 1995, increased
$7.1 million from the balance at December 31, 1994.  Cash was provided during
this period primarily from proceeds from the sale of Dorman Products in the
amount of $37.8 million.  Cash was used during the three months ended March 31,
1995, primarily by operations ($4 million), debt repayment ($14.8 million),
capital expenditures ($1.1 million) and distributions to general and limited
partners ($10.6 million).

The Company's working capital position of $97.7 million at March 31, 1995,
represented an increase of $21.7 million from the December 31, 1994 level of
$76.0 million.  The increase is primarily attributable to the increased cash
balance of $7.1 million, reinvestment in working capital of $8.9 million, a
decrease in distributions payable to partners of $2.8 million and repayment of
the current portion of senior notes in the amount of $14.2 million less working
capital related to the sale of Dorman Products aggregating $11.3 million.  The
Company's current ratio increased to 2.13 at March 31, 1995 from the December
31, 1994, level of 1.71.

The Company's financial position has strengthened as a result of the sale of its
Dorman Products and Electrical Group divisions.  As of March 31, 1995, the
Company's total debt as a percentage of its consolidated capitalization is 46%
compared with 62% at March 31, 1994.

The Company anticipates spending approximately $3.5 million for capital
expenditures for the full year 1995, primarily for machinery and equipment.


                                      10

As of March 31, 1995, the Operating Partnership had $39.8 million available
under its $50.0 million Bank Credit Agreement which provides revolving credit
for working capital purposes and acquisitions.  The Company had no bank
borrowings outstanding at March 31, 1995 under the Bank Credit Agreement.  The
$10.2 million outstanding under the Bank Credit Agreement represented letter of
credit commitments only.  In addition, an indirect, wholly-owned Canadian
subsidiary of the Operating Partnership has a $2.5 million Canadian dollar line
of credit for working capital purposes of which $.3 million USD was outstanding
at March 31, 1995.

In accordance with its Senior Note and Bank Credit Agreements, the Company was
not permitted to make acquisitions in 1994.  Management intends to resume its
acquisition strategy in 1995, with permissible spending up to $15.0 million in
the aggregate to complement internal growth.  The acquisition program will be
concentrated on fluid power and glass.

Proceeds from the sale of the operating divisions described previously will be
used to reduce debt and for general Company purposes including acquisitions for
integration with its remaining three product groups and possible repurchase of
limited partnership interests.  On March 14, 1995, the Company prepaid a portion
of its senior notes in the amount of $14.2 million, including accrued interest
thereon of $.4 million and a make-whole penalty of $.6 million.

The taxable gain from sale of the Dorman Products division will be allocated
entirely to Class B Interest holders of record on December 30, 1994, which is
currently estimated at approximately $.80 per Class B Interest.  Related to the
sale, the Partnership paid a partial tax distribution on April 10, 1995 to Class
B holders of record as of December 30, 1994, in the amount of $.15 per Class B
Interest.  The remaining balance of the tax distribution will be paid on March
31, 1996, upon determination of the taxable gain for 1995 federal income tax
purposes.

Certain legal proceedings are pending which are either in the ordinary course of
business or incidental to the Company's business.  Those legal proceedings
incidental to the business of the Company are generally not covered by insurance
or other indemnity.  In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of
these matters will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial
position, operations or cashflows of the Company.

     This Amendment No. 1 to Note Purchase Agreement ("Amendment No. 1") is 
made this 30th day of March 1994 by and among SDI Operating Partners, L.P. (the
"Company") and the Note Purchasers whose names appear in the acceptance form at
the end hereof.

     WHEREAS, the Company and the Note Purchasers entered into a Note Purchase 
Agreement dated December 15, 1992, subject to the terms and conditions set forth
therein; and

     WHEREAS, the Company and the Noteholders wish to enter into this Amendment 
No. 1 to modify certain covenants set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement,

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of additional one-time interest of .05% 
paid concurrently herewith, and the Agreements herein set forth and intending to
be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     Paragraph 7.3 of the Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated
in its entirety as follows:

            (S)7.3  Debt. A. The Company will not, and will not permit any 
                    ----

            5. Section 7.12 is hereby amended to read as follows:

            "(S)7.12.  Sales of Assets. The Company will not, and will not 
                       ---------------
  permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, sell, lease or 
  otherwise dispose of any of its assets to any person, except that

            A.  the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may engage in a 
       transaction as permitted by, and pursuant to, (S)7.11, and the Company or
       a Restricted Subsidiary may make sales from inventory in the ordinary
       course of business; and

            B.  the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may dispose of any of 
       its assets if (x) the aggregate book value of all assets proposed to be
       disposed of plus the aggregate book value (at the time of disposition
       thereof) of all other assets disposed of by the Company and its
       Restricted Subsidiaries under this Subsection in the 12 month period
       immediately preceding the date of such proposed disposition, does not
       exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets as of the end of the
       fiscal year immediately preceding the date of such proposed disposition
       and (y) the aggregate book value (at the time of disposition thereof) of
       all assets disposed of by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries
       under this Subsection subsequent to [September 30, 1992] January 4, 1995
       (see attached Schedule of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets), plus the
       aggregate book value of all the assets then proposed to be disposed of,
       does not exceed [25%] 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets as of [the
       Closing Date] January 4, 1995 (provided that, if concurrently with any
       such sale of assets or within 30 days thereof, substantially all of the
       net proceeds of such sale are used by the Company or a Restricted
       Subsidiary to acquire other property consisting of equipment or real
       property used in the wholesale distribution of industrial products
       business, such sale shall be disregarded for purposes of calculations
       pursuant to this Subsection B).

            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, but subject to 
  (S)7.11, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may dispose of assets having
  an aggregate book value greater than the amount otherwise permitted by
  Subsection B above, if immediately after such disposition and giving effect
  thereto no Event of Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
  and upon compliance with the following provisions. If the Company or any
  Restricted Subsidiary disposes of any of its assets (other than pursuant to
  Subsection A above) such that the aggregate book value (at the time of
  disposition thereof) of all assets so disposed of shall be greater than the
  amount otherwise permitted by Subsection B above (such excess being
  hereinafter called the "Excess Amount"), the Company shall promptly (and in
                          -------------
  any event within 10 days) after the effective date of such disposition give

written notice thereof (specifying the Excess Amount and the Applicable Share 
thereof) to you and any other holder of any of the Notes. Such notice shall 
contain an offer of the Company to apply, within 60 (but not less than 40) days 
of the date thereof (subject to said offer lapsing as hereinbelow provided), an 
amount equal to the Applicable Share of the Excess Amount to the pro rata 
repayment of the Notes. Such notice shall specify the date fixed for such 
proposed prepayment and the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, and of the 
Notes held by each holder, proposed to be prepaid (containing calculations in 
reasonable detail showing how such amounts were determined). Any such prepayment
of the Notes shall be at the principal amount so to be prepaid, together with 
interest accrued thereon to the date of such prepayment plus an amount equal to 
the Make-Whole Amount for each such Note. The Company shall prepay, on the date 
specified in such notice, the Notes held by each holder who shall notify the 
Company in writing within 30 days after receipt of such notice that such holder 
will accept the prepayment proposed to be made to such holder, and said offer to
such holder shall lapse as to any portion of such proposed aggregate prepayment 
not so accepted. Any portion of the Excess Amount which is not applied to the 
prepayment of the Notes pursuant to the foregoing provisions shall be applied by
the Company to the prepayment of the Debt outstanding under the Revolving Credit
Facility and the permanent reduction of the commitments thereunder (and, if the 
amount to be so applied exceeds the amount of Debt outstanding under the 
Revolving Credit Facility, such commitments shall be reduced in an amount equal 
to such excess).

      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, [(i) the Excess Amount 
resulting from the sale or other disposition of the Electrical Group in excess 
of the 15% limitation set forth in clause (x) of Subsection B above (but not in 
excess of the 25% limitation set forth in clause (y) of Subsection B above) 
shall be deemed to be an amount equal to 50% of the actual Excess Amount so 
resulting from such sale or other disposition and (ii)] the Company may sell or 
otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the assets constituting, or stock of,
SIMCO on an arms' length basis and for fair market value and the book value of 
the assets of SIMCO so disposed of in an amount up to $10,000,000 shall be 
disregarded for the purposes of calculations pursuant to Subsection B above, 
provided that the proceeds of such sale in respect of the book value so 
disregarded shall be applied by the Company to the repayment of the Notes 
(pursuant to (S)4.2) or the Debt outstanding under Revolving Credit Facility 
(and, in the case of any such application to Debt outstanding under the 
Revolving Credit Facility, to the permanent reduction of the commitments 
thereunder) or to the acquisition of property used in the wholesale distribution
of industrial products business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries.

aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes bears to the sum of the 
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes and the amount of the 
commitment under the Revolving Credit Facility on the date of determination."

general partner of the Company or its net book value) to be expended in 
connection with the proposed Acquisition together with all other amounts 
expended by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with all 
other Acquisitions in the calendar year of the proposed Acquisition would exceed
the Permitted Amount for such year. If as of the last day of any calendar year 
the Permitted Amount is in excess of the amount actually expended by the Company
and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with all Acquisitions in such 
calendar year, the lesser of such excess and $5,000,000 (the "Carryover Amount")
may be carried over to the following calendar year and added to the Permitted 
Amount for such following calendar year provided that [the sum of (x) the amount
so carried over plus (y) the Acquisition expenditures for such following 
calendar year shall be deducted from the Permitted Amount (including therein any
amount so carried over) when determining the amount, if any, which may be 
carried from such following calendar year to the next following calendar year
(and, except as so provided in this sentence, Permitted Amounts are available on
a non-cumulative basis).] (x) the total amount of Acquisition expenditures

$20,000,000 and (y) the cumulative Acquisition expenditures will not exceed the
amount equal to (N minus 1994) x $15,000,000, where N is the current calendar
year.

          (iii)  if [Shearson] Lehman/SDI, Inc. shall sell the general 
partnership interest in the General Partner, a change in the majority of the
board of directors of the entity owning such general partnership interest shall
at any time within three years following such sale not be directors who also
constituted a majority of the board of directors of [Shearson] Lehman/SDI, Inc.

     does not exceed Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) in any calendar year,
