                     SUN DISTRIBUTORS L.P. AND SUBSIDIARY
                  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 
Products 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 six months ended June 30, 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 a 
prepayment penalty related to early extinguishment of a portion of the Operating
Partnership's Series A 9.08% and Series B 8.44% senior notes. (See Note 5, Lines
of Credit and Long-Term Debt).

                            (dollars in thousands)


5.  Lines of Credit and Long-Term Debt:

As of June 30, 1995, the Operating Partnership had $39,471 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 June 30, 1995 under the Bank Credit Agreement. The $10,529 
outstanding under the Bank Credit Agreement represented letter of credit 
commitments only.

The Operating Partnership has another credit facility available in the amount of
$500 for letter of credit commitments only, of which no amount was outstanding 
as of June 30, 1995. 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 $342 USD was outstanding at June 30, 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.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND JUNE 30, 1994
     --------------------------------------------------

Net income amounted to $8.4 million in the second quarter of 1995, 4.4% above
the $8.0 million earned in the second quarter of 1994.  Excluding income
contributions from divisions sold in 1994 (Dorman Products on January 3, 1995
and the Electrical Group divisions in December 1994), second quarter 1995 net
income increased $1.8 million or $26.4% from the comparable 1994 quarter.  This
income growth is a result of internal growth strategies and continued economic
expansion across most of the Company's product markets.

Second quarter sales were $163.8 million compared with $189.4 million recorded
in the prior year period.  Excluding $37.7 million in 1994 sales from divisions
sold, net sales increased 8.0% from the second quarter of 1994.  Sales results
in 1995 reflect internal growth strategies and continued economic expansion
across most of the Company's product markets.  The change in sales by product
group excluding divisions sold are as follows:

     Technology Services (Fluid Power) Group      8.5  million    12.8%   
     Maintenance Products Group                   4.5  million     9.6%      
     Sun Inventory Management Company ("SIMCO")    .4  million     7.5%  
     Glass Products Group                        (1.2) million    (3.6)%      
</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 $1.6 million from the prior year quarter.  On a comparable basis,
sales increased $.4 million or 1.4% in the Glass Products Group.

Total cost of sales for the second quarter of 1995 decreased $19.4 million or
16.6% 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 $6.9 million or 7.6% due primarily to increased sales levels in
the comparison period.

Gross margins in the second quarter of 1995 were 40.2% compared with 38.0% 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 40.2% in the second quarter of
1995 compared to 40.0% in the comparable period in 1994.

Total selling, general and administrative ("S,G&A") expenses decreased $5.5
million or 9.3% during the three months ended June 30, 1995, compared with the
second quarter of 1994.  Excluding divisions sold in 1994, expenses increased by
$4.1 million or 8.4% from the second quarter of 1994, comprised as follows:
increased selling expenses of $2.4 million or 10.4%, increased warehouse and
delivery expenses of $1.1 million or 12.8% and increased general and
administrative expenses of $.6 million or 3.6%.  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 second quarter of 1995 and 1994:

                                            ----          ----    
</TABLE>

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

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 expense decreased $.8 million in the comparison period due primarily to
interest expense savings of approximately $.4 million from prepayment of senior
notes on March 14, 1995, and reduced borrowing levels under the Company's
revolving credit facility which aggregated $.3 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.

<PAGE>
 
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 $.28 per
Class A limited partnership interest for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 and
June 30, 1994; and $.24 of income per Class B limited partnership interest in
the second quarter of 1995, compared with $.23 of income per Class B limited
partnership interest in 1994 which included income contributions from divisions
sold of approximately $.06 per Class B interest.


     SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND JUNE 30, 1994
     ------------------------------------------------

Net income of $27.6 million for the first six months of 1995 included a $16.5
million gain from the sale of the Company's Dorman Products division in January
1995 and an extraordinary loss of $.6 million related to the early
extinguishment of debt.  Net income increased $1.9 million or 19.8% from the
amount earned in the first six months of 1994 of $9.8 million, excluding these
items and 1994 income from divisions sold (Dorman and the Electrical Group
divisions sold in December 1994).

Net sales for the first six months of 1995 were $318.6 million compared with
$364.5 million recorded in the prior year period.  Excluding $72.3 million in
1994 sales from the aforementioned divisions sold, net sales increased $26.4
million or 9.0% from the comparable 1994 period.  Sales results in 1995 reflect
internal growth strategies and continued economic expansion across most of the
Company's product markets.    The change in sales by product group excluding
divisions sold are as follows:

     Glass Products Group                        (1.4) million    (2.1)%
</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 $3.0 million from the prior year period.  On a comparable basis,
sales increased $1.6 million or 2.7% in the Glass Products group.

Total cost of sales for the first six months of 1995 decreased $33.7 million or
15.0% from the comparable 1994 period due primarily to the aforementioned
divisions sold.  Excluding 1994 cost of sales from divisions sold, cost of goods
sold increased $15.9 million or 9.0% due primarily to increased sales levels in
the comparison period.

Gross margins in the first six months of 1995 were 40.0% compared with 38.3% 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.

Excluding the divisions sold, gross margins were about 40.0% in both comparison
periods.

Total S,G&A expenses decreased $9.5 million or 8.1% during the six months ended
June 30, 1995, compared with the first six months of 1994.  Excluding divisions
sold, SG&A expenses increased by $10.1 million or 10.5% from the first six
months of 1994, comprised as follows:  increased selling expenses of $5.6
million or 12.5%, increased warehouse and delivery expenses of $2.1 million or
11.8% and increased general and administrative expenses of $2.5 million or 7.2%.
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 six months of 1995 and 1994:

</TABLE>

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

As calculated in accordance with the partnership agreement, the management fee
due 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 $.5 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 $.3 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 sale of the aforementioned operating
divisions.

Interest expense decreased $1.2 million in the comparison period due primarily
to the prepayment of senior notes on March 14, 1995 in the amount of $14.2
million which resulted in $.6 million of interest expense savings and reduced
borrowing levels under the Company's revolving credit facililty aggregating $.5
million of interest expense savings.

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 $.55 per
Class A limited partnership interest for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and
June 30, 1994; and $.98 of income per Class B limited partnership interest in
the first six months of 1995, compared with $.28 of income per Class B limited
partnership interest in 1994.  The first six months 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 $.26 in the first six months of 1995 compared
with $.28 in the first six months of 1994.  Results in 1994 included income
contributions from the aforementioned divisions sold of approximately $.11 per
Class B interest.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------

Net cash used in operations during the first six months of 1995 was $1.8
million, compared with net cash provided by operations in the first six months
of 1994 of $6.2 million, a difference of $8.0 million.  The change was due
primarily to increased working capital reinvestment in operations in the
comparison period. 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 4.34 in the first half of 1995 from 3.44 in
the comparable prior year period.

The Company's cash position of $5.0 million as of June 30, 1995, increased $.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 six months ended June 30, 1995,
primarily for distributions to general and limited partners ($18.3 million), 
debt repayment ($14.9 million), capital expenditures ($2.7 million) and for 
operations ($1.8 million).

The Company's working capital position of $101.8 million at June 30, 1995,
represented an increase of $25.7 million from the December 31, 1994 level of
$76.1 million. The increase is primarily attributable to reinvestment in working
capital of $15.0 million from the December 31, 1994 level, repayment of the
current portion of senior notes in the amount of $14.2 million, a decrease in
distributions payable to partners of $6.1 million, and a decrease in management
fee payable to the GP of $1.7 million, less working capital related to the sale
of Dorman Products aggregating $11.3 million. The Company's current ratio
increased to 2.26 at June 30, 1995 from the December 31, 1994, level of 1.72.

The Company's financial position has strengthened as a result of the sale of its
Dorman Products and Electrical Group divisions.  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.
As of June 30, 1995, the Company's total debt as a percentage of its
consolidated capitalization is 45% compared with 62% at June 30, 1994.

The Company anticipates spending approximately $4.0 million for capital
expenditures for the full year 1995, primarily for machinery and equipment.

As of June 30, 1995, the Operating Partnership had $39.5 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 June 30, 1995 under the Bank Credit Agreement.  The $10.5 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 June 30,
1995.

In accordance with its Senior Note and Bank Credit Agreements, the Company was
not permitted to make acquisitions in 1994.  Management has resumed 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 in the areas of technology services (fluid power) and glass
products.

The taxable gain in 1995 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.
