NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1996

1. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1995, which
has been derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited interim
condensed consolidated financial statements, have been prepared pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and
regulations, although the Company believes the disclosures made are adequate
to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary to a fair presentation have been
included in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods
presented herein.

2. The results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 1996.
The sale of the Company's products and services is seasonal with revenues
generally increasing during the months of May through August.

3. At March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, inventories consist of (in
thousands):

MARCH 31, DECEMBER 31,
1996 1995
--------- ------------
Raw materials $ 4,294 $ 3,637
Work in process 1,418 1,359
Finished goods 64,907 54,728
------- -------
$70,619 $59,724
======= =======


4. On March 6, 1996, the Company completed a public offering in which it sold
1,570,000 shares of Common Stock resulting in net proceeds of approximately
$32.6 million. In April 1996, the Company used approximately $14.0 million of
the proceeds to fund the acquisition of Three States Supply Co., Inc. ("Three
States Supply") discussed below. In April 1996, the Company also used $2.5
million of the net proceeds to repay a 12% subordinated note payable to Rheem
Manufacturing Company ("Rheem"). The Company intends to use the remaining net
proceeds for other potential acquisitions, to reduce debt and for general
corporate purposes.

5. Effective March 19, 1996, the Company and Rheem completed a transaction
pursuant to a Stock Exchange Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the
"Exchange Agreement") whereby the Company acquired Rheem's minority ownership
interests in Gemaire Distributors, Inc. ("Gemaire"), Comfort Supply, Inc.
("Comfort Supply") and Heating & Cooling Supply, Inc. ("Heating & Cooling")
in exchange for 964,361 unregistered shares of the Company's Common Stock
having an estimated fair value of $16.1 million. The acquisition of Rheem's
minority ownership interests was accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting and, accordingly, the effects of the transaction are included in
the Company's results of operations as of the transaction date. Goodwill
related to the transaction, totaling approximately $5.4 million, represents
the excess of the fair value of the Common Stock exchanged over the minority
interests acquired and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40
years. Following this transaction, Gemaire, Comfort Supply and Heating &
Cooling became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

Previous agreements between the Company and Rheem provided Rheem with the
right to "call" from the Company and the Company with the right to "put" to
Rheem the Company's ownership interests in Gemaire, Comfort Supply and
Heating & Cooling. Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the put/call
provisions included in the previous agreements are effectively eliminated
because the rights to "put" or "call" become exercisable primarily upon the
occurrence of certain events of insolvency.

5 of 10
6. On April 12, 1996, the Company purchased certain accounts receivable,
inventory and other operating assets and assumed certain liabilities of Three
States Supply, a Memphis, Tennessee-based distributor of supplies used
primarily in air conditioning and heating systems. The cash consideration
paid by the Company totaled approximately $14.0 million, which approximated
net book value, and is subject to adjustment upon the completion of an audit
of the assets purchased and liabilities assumed. The acquisition was
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.

7. Certain amounts for 1995 have been reclassified to conform with the 1996
presentation.

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

QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 VS. QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1995

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table presents certain items of the Company's consolidated
financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,
expressed as a percentage of total revenues:

1996 1995
---- ----

Total revenues 100.0% 100.0%
Cost of sales and direct service expenses (77.3) (75.6)
------- -------
Gross profit 22.7 24.4
Selling, general and administrative expenses (18.5) (20.1)
------- -------
Operating income 4.2 4.3
Investment income, net - .1
Interest expense (1.3) (1.5)
Income taxes (1.1) (1.1)
Minority interests (.1) (.3)
------- -------
Net income 1.7% 1.5%
======= =======

The above table and following narrative includes the results of operations
of the following wholesale distributors of air conditioners and related parts
and supplies: Airite, Inc., a Louisiana-based distributor acquired in February
1995; H.B. Adams, Inc., a central Florida distributor purchased in March 1995;
Environmental Equipment & Supplies, Inc. a North Little Rock, Arkansas-based
distributor purchased in June 1995; and Central Air Conditioning Distributors,
Inc., a Winston-Salem, North Carolina-based distributor purchased in October
1995 (collectively, the "acquisitions"). These acquisitions were accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of their
operations have been included in the consolidated results of the Company
beginning on their respective dates of acquisition.

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996 increased $17.5 million,
or 29%, compared to the same period in 1995. In the climate control segment,
revenues increased $17.5 million, or 33%. Excluding the effect of acquisitions,
revenues for the climate control segment increased $7.8 million, or 15%. Such
increase was driven by strong replacement sales, increased homebuilding activity
and favorable weather patterns.

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 1996 increased $2.9
million, or 20%, as compared to the same period in 1995. Excluding the effect of
acquisitions, gross profit increased $459,000, or 3%, primarily as a result of
the aforementioned revenue increases. Gross profit margin in the first quarter
decreased to 22.7% in 1996 from 24.4% in 1995. Excluding the effect of
acquisitions, gross profit margin decreased to 22.3% in 1996 from 24.4% in 1995.
These decreases were primarily due to certain vendor price increases which the
Company did not begin passing on to customers until late in the quarter.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March
31, 1996 increased $2.3 million, or 19%, compared to the same period in 1995,
primarily due to selling and delivery costs related to increased sales.
Excluding the effect of acquisitions, selling, general and administrative
expenses increased $405,000, or 3%, primarily due to revenue increases. Selling,
general and administrative costs as a percent of revenues decreased from 20.1%
in 1995 to 18.5% in 1996 and excluding the effect of acquisitions decreased from
20.1% in 1995 to 18.4% in 1996. These decreases were the result of a larger
revenue base over which to spread fixed costs.

7 of 10
Interest expense for the first quarter in 1996 increased $134,000, or 15%,
compared to the same period in 1995, due to higher borrowings used to finance
acquisitions and increased inventory levels required by sales growth.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was 38.0%
compared to 38.6% for the same period in 1995. The decrease is primarily a
result of a proportionately larger share of taxable income expected to be
generated in states with lower tax rates during 1996 as compared to 1995.

ACQUISITION OF MINORITY INTERESTS

In March 1996, pursuant to a Stock Exchange Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization (the "Exchange Agreement") with Rheem Manufacturing Company
("Rheem"), the Company acquired Rheem's minority ownership interests in three of
the Company's distribution subsidiaries in exchange for 964,361 shares of
unregistered Common Stock of the Company having an estimated fair value of $16.1
million. Following this transaction, all of the Company's distribution companies
are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has adequate availability of capital from operations and
revolving credit facilities to fund current operations and anticipated growth,
including expansion in the Company's current and targeted market areas, through
1996. At March 31, 1996, the Company had aggregate borrowing commitments from
lenders under existing revolving credit agreements of $75 million, of which $18
million was unused and $11 million available. In February 1996, the Company
received and is considering a proposal from one of its lenders to syndicate a
master $125 million unsecured revolving credit facility. This facility, if
completed, would replace all of the Company's existing revolving credit
facilities and provide the Company with up to $50 million of additional
availability to fund future growth.

Certain of the subsidiaries' revolving credit agreements contain provisions
limiting the payment of dividends to their shareholders. The Company does not
anticipate that these limitations on dividends will have a material effect on
the Company's ability to meet its cash obligations.

Working capital increased to $75.3 million at March 31, 1996 from $41.2
million at December 31, 1995. This increase is primarily due to the receipt of
net proceeds of $32.6 million from the sale of 1,570,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock in March 1996. In April 1996, the Company used approximately $14.0
million of the net proceeds to fund the acquisition of Three States Supply Co.,
Inc., a Memphis, Tennessee-based distributor of supplies used primarily in air
conditioning and heating systems, and $2.5 million to repay a 12% subordinated
note payable to Rheem. The Company anticipates using the remainder of the net
proceeds to fund other potential acquisitions, to reduce debt and for general
corporate purposes.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $33.5 million during the first quarter of
1996. Principal sources of cash were net proceeds from the issuance of Common
Stock, increased borrowings under revolving credit agreements and profitable
operations. The principal uses of cash were to purchase inventories, repay
long-term obligations and finance capital expenditures. Inventory purchases are
substantially funded by borrowings under revolving credit agreements.

The Company continually evaluates potential acquisitions and has held
discussions with a number of acquisition candidates; however, the Company has no
agreement with respect to any acquisition candidates. Should suitable
acquisition opportunities or working capital needs arise that would require
additional financing, the Company believes that its financial position and
earnings history provide a solid base for obtaining additional financing
resources at competitive rates and terms.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

On January 1, 1996, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for Long-Lived Assets and
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" ("SFAS No. 121"). The adoption of SFAS No.
121 did not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations.
