           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--

                                MARCH 31, 1996



1. UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of
management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements include all
adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a
fair presentation of the results of the interim periods.

The Company's business is highly seasonal. In general, sales and net income are
highest during the second and third quarters, which represent the peak months of
swimming pool use and installation. Operating results for the three-month period
ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1996. For further information, refer
to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1995
and footnotes thereto included in the annual report on Form 10-K filed by the
Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 1996, the Company adopted FASB
Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. The adoption of the Statement had no effect
on the Company's financial statements.

2. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

As of April 30, 1996, SCP Pool Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries
(collectively referred to as the Company) maintain 44 service centers in 22
states located throughout the United States, except in the Northeast, from which
they sell swimming pool equipment and supplies to pool builders, retail stores,
and service firms. The Company also owns and operates a manufacturing and
repackaging facility in Dallas, Texas, which produces a substantial portion of
the Company's chemical products and also sells to other wholesale distributors
and large retailers.

                                                                               4

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Primary income (loss) per common share equals net income (loss) divided by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For
1996, fully diluted income per common share equals net income plus the after tax
interest incurred on the Company's convertible notes, divided by common shares
outstanding after giving effect to shares assumed to be issued on conversion of
those notes. For 1995, the effects of the convertible notes are antidilutive
and, therefore, are not included in the fully diluted income per share
calculation. For both 1996 and 1995, the effect of stock options outstanding are
immaterial.

The Company completed its initial public offering of its common stock in October
1995. A recapitalization occurred in connection with this public offering which
included the exchange of $7,200,000 of Junior Subordinated Notes for shares of
common stock.

                                                                               5

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE (CONTINUED)

The computation of net income, weighted average shares outstanding and net

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

GENERAL

The Company was formed in December 1993 to acquire substantially all of the
assets and assume certain liabilities of its predecessor. From its inception in
1980 through the end of 1993, the Predecessor steadily increased its sales by
opening new service center locations and by increasing sales to new and existing
customers. Since the Company's acquisition of the Predecessor in December 1993
(the "SCP Acquisition"), the Company has grown by opening new service centers
and increasing sales to new and existing customers, and through strategic
acquisitions. From January 1, 1990 to March 31, 1996, the Company expanded from
8 service centers in 6 states to 44 service centers in 22 states.

The Company's acquisitions since the SCP Acquisition include: (i) the
acquisition of certain assets of Aqua Fab Industries, Inc. in January 1994 (the
"Aqua Fab Acquisition"), including eight service centers in the southeast and
midwest regions of the United States, three of which the Company subsequently
closed and consolidated into existing service centers; (ii) the acquisition by
Alliance Packaging, Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, of
the chemical manufacturing and repacking assets of York Chemical Corporation and
Wexco Incorporated in January 1995 (the "York Acquisition"); (iii) the
acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of Orcal Pool Supplies, Inc.
in February 1995, in which the Company acquired nine service centers located in
California (the "Orcal Acquisition"); (iv) the acquisition of certain assets of
Aqua Chemical Sales and Delivery, Inc. in March 1995, primarily inventory and
one service center located in Illinois (the "Aqua Acquisition"); (v) the
acquisition of certain assets of Crest Distribution (a division of Aman
Enterprises, Inc.) in October 1995, primarily inventory and one service center
in each of Oregon and Washington; and (vi) the acquisition of all of the
outstanding capital stock of Steven Portnoff Corporation in November 1995, in
which the Company acquired one service center in Arizona, and the acquisition of
certain assets and the assumption of certain liabilities of Pool Mart of Nevada,
Inc. in December 1995, in which the Company acquired one service center in
Nevada (collectively referred to as the "Allied Acquisition").

The Company derives its revenues primarily from the sale of swimming pool
supplies and related products, including chemicals, cleaners, packaged pools and
liners, filters, heaters, pumps, lights, repair parts and other equipment
required to build, maintain, install and overhaul residential and small
commercial swimming pools. The Company sells its products primarily to swimming
pool remodelers and builders, independent swimming pool retailers and swimming
pool repair and service companies. These customers tend to be small, family
owned businesses with relatively limited capital resources. The Company
maintains a strict credit policy. Losses from customer receivables have
historically been within management's expectations.

                                                                               7
<PAGE>
 
                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
           FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

GENERAL (CONTINUED)

The Company's business is highly seasonal. In general, sales and net income are
highest during the second and third quarters, which represent the peak months of
swimming pool use and installation. Sales are substantially lower during the
first and fourth quarters.

The swimming pool supply industry is affected by various factors, including
general economic conditions, the level of new housing construction, weather and
consumer attitudes towards pool chemical products for environmental or safety
reasons. Although management believes that the Company's geographic diversity
could mitigate the effect of a regional economic downturn and that the
continuing maintenance and repair needs for existing swimming pools could
mitigate the effect of a general economic downturn, there can be no assurance
that the Company's results of operations and expansion plans would not be
materially adversely affected by any of such downturns.

The principal components of the Company's expenses include cost of goods sold,
which represents the amount paid to manufacturers for products, and operating
expenses, which are primarily related to labor, occupancy, commissions and
marketing. Some geographic markets serviced by the Company, particularly
California, Texas and Florida, tend to be more competitive than others. In
response to competitive pressures from any of its current or future competitors,
the Company may be required to lower selling prices in order to maintain or
increase market share, and such measures could adversely affect the Company's
gross margins and operating results.

The Company completed an initial public offering of its common stock in October
1995. The net proceeds of the offering were used primarily to reduce
indebtedness and resulted in an extraordinary charge, net of tax, in the
Company's results of operations in the fourth quarter of 1995 of approximately
$750,000 to account for the write-off of deferred financing costs and the
payment of a prepayment premium associated with extinguishing such indebtedness.
In addition, the management agreement between the Company and its principal
stockholder was terminated as of the consummation of the offering and, as a
result, no management fees will be payable with respect thereto after such time.

                                                                               8

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
   
The following discussions compare the results of operations of the Company for
the three-month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.
   
Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1995
   
Net sales increased by $15.3 million, or 59.2%, to $41.1 million in the three
months ended March 31, 1996 from $25.8 million in the comparable 1995 period. An
increase in comparable service center sales of approximately 16.0% accounted for
$3.4 million of the increase. Service centers acquired in 1995 accounted for
$8.2 million (of which $4.1 million related to centers acquired in the Orcal
Acquisition) of the increase in net sales, and an increase in sales at new
service centers accounted for $1.6 million of the total increase. The remaining
increase is primarily due to an increase in net sales to third parties by
Alliance Packaging, Inc.
   
Gross profit increased by $3.3 million, or 55.7%, to $9.3 million in the three
months ended March 31, 1996 from $6.0 million in the comparable 1995 period.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales, however, declined 0.5% to 22.5% in
the 1996 period from 23.0% in the 1995 period. A majority of the decrease in
gross profit margin was attributable to lower margins realized at the service
centers acquired in the Orcal Acquisition, which generated gross profit margins
of approximately 19.5% versus 23.9% for all other service centers. Because of
competition in the California market and higher product costs, particularly for
chemicals and packaged pools, gross profit margins were negatively impacted
during the three months ended March 31, 1996. In the future, this competition
and higher product costs may continue to result in lower gross profit margins in
the California market, as compared to other markets in which the Company
operates.

Operating expenses increased by $3.2 million, or 60.3%, to $8.5 million in the
three months ended March 31, 1996 from $5.3 million in the comparable 1995
period. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales increased by 0.3% to 20.8%
in the 1996 period from 20.5% in the 1995 period. The increase was primarily
attributable to salaries, higher occupancy expenses in California, commissions
and other costs associated with increased employment at the service centers
acquired in 1995.

Interest and other expenses decreased to $0.6 million in the three months ended
March 31, 1996 from $1.3 million in the comparable 1995 period. The decrease was
primarily attributable to the reduction in the Company's debt with the proceeds
from the Company's initial public offering in October 1995.

SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY FLUCTUATIONS

The Company's business is highly seasonal. In general, sales and net income are
highest during the second and third quarters, which represent the peak months of
swimming pool use and installation. Sales are substantially lower during the
first and fourth quarters.

The Company experiences a build-up of inventory and accounts payable during the
first and second quarters of the year in anticipation of the peak swimming pool
supply selling season. The Company's peak borrowing occurs during the second
quarter, primarily because dated accounts payable offered by the Company's
suppliers typically are payable in April, May and June, while the Company's peak
accounts receivable collections typically occur in June, July and August.

The principal external factor affecting the Company's business is weather. Hot
weather can increase purchases of chemicals and supplies and pool installations.
Unseasonably cool weather or extraordinary amounts of rainfall during the peak
sales season can decrease purchases of chemicals and supplies and pool
installations. In addition, unseasonably early or late warming trends can
increase or decrease the length of the pool season and, therefore, the Company's
sales.

To encourage preseason orders, the Company, like many other swimming pool supply
distributors, utilizes preseason sales programs which provide for extended
dating terms and other incentives to its customers. Some of the Company's
suppliers also offer extended dating terms on certain products to the Company
for preseason or early season purchases. In offering extended dating terms to
its customers and accepting extended dating terms from its suppliers, the
Company effectively finances a portion of its receivables with extended
payables.

                                                                              11

           FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY FLUCTUATIONS (CONTINUED)

The Company expects that its quarterly results of operations will fluctuate
depending on the timing and amount of revenue contributed by new service centers
and acquisitions. The Company attempts to open its new stores at the end of the
fourth quarter or the beginning of the first quarter to take advantage of
preseason sales programs and the peak season.

The following table sets forth certain unaudited quarterly data for 1995 and the
first quarter for 1996 which, in the opinion of management, reflect all
adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a
fair presentation of such data. Results of any one or more quarters are not
necessarily indicative of results for an entire fiscal year or of continuing
trends.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company incurred approximately $36.1 million of debt in connection with the
SCP Acquisition. Since the SCP Acquisition, the Company has financed its
business activities and subsequent acquisitions through borrowings under the
Credit Agreement, dated as of December 31, 1993, as amended, by and among South 
Central Pool Supply, Inc. (the Company's wholly owned subsidiary), The First 
National Bank of Chicago, as agent, and various lenders from time to time party
thereto (the "Senior Loan Facility"), augmented by internally generated cash 
flow, operating leases and normal trade credit terms.  During 1995, the Company
borrowed approximately $11.1 million to finance acquisitions.  In addition, 
indebtedness increased by approximately $6.6 million to 

                                                                              12

meet seasonal working capital requirements. These additional borrowings were
offset by approximately $6.5 million of repayments in connection with the
Initial Public Offering in October 1995.

During the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company borrowed $5.5 million
to meet seasonal working capital requirements and made scheduled payments of
$375,000 required under its Senior Loan Facility.  During the three months ended
March 31, 1995, the Company borrowed approximately $8.6 million, of which $2.7
million was financed by the seller of Orcal, to finance the York, Orcal and Aqua
acquisitions. Additionally, indebtedness increased by $11.1 million to meet
seasonal working capital requirements. The increase from December 31, 1995 to
March 31, 1996 in the amount of the Company's inventory and accounts payable
is a result of the Company's anticipation of the peak swimming pool supply 
selling season.  The increase in receivables is primarily due to seasonal sales.

Excluding acquisitions, the Company made capital expenditures of $169,000 and
$205,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

Currently, the Company's primary sources of working capital are cash flow from
operations and borrowings under the Senior Loan Facility, which as of March 31,
1996, consisted of a term loan and a revolving credit facility. These sources
have been sufficient to support the Company's growth and to finance
acquisitions. Considering the Company's borrowing base as of March 31, 1996, the
Company had approximately $6.5 million available for borrowing under the
revolving loan portion of the Senior Loan Facility, the only additional credit
source currently available to the Company.

Borrowings under the Senior Loan Facility may, at the Company's option, bear
interest at either (i) the agent's corporate base rate or the federal funds rate
plus 0.5%, whichever is higher, plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.25% or
(ii) LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%, in each case depending on
the Company's leverage ratio. Substantially all of the assets of the Company,
including the capital stock of Alliance Packaging, secure the Company's
obligations under the Senior Loan Facility. The Senior Loan Facility has
numerous restrictive covenants which require the Company to maintain minimum
levels of interest coverage and fixed charge coverage and which also restrict
the Company's ability to pay dividends and make capital expenditures. As of
March 31, 1996, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants and
financial ratio requirements. The Senior Loan Facility expires December 31,
1999.

                                                                              13

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)

To finance future acquisitions, the Company expects to utilize its ability to
borrow additional funds. Depending on market conditions, the Company may also
incur additional indebtedness or issue common or preferred stock (which may be
issued to third parties or to sellers of acquired businesses).

INFLATION

The Company does not believe that inflation has had a significant impact on its
results of operations for the periods presented.
