                                     Part I

         NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
         --------------------------------------------------------------

A) As contemplated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the accompanying
consolidated financial statements and footnotes have been condensed and
therefore, do not contain all disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles. Reference should be made to the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. The Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2001, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Income for the three month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 and the
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three month periods
ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 are unaudited. In the opinion of the Company, all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) have been made, which
are necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the interim
periods. Operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2001.

B) Inventories (consisting of primarily finished goods) at March 31, 2001 and
cost of goods sold for the three month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000
were determined through the use of estimated gross profit rates. The difference
between actual and estimated gross profit is adjusted in the fourth quarter. In
2000, this adjustment increased net income by approximately $1,349,000.

C) Total comprehensive income and its components, net of related tax, for the
first quarter of 2001 and 2000 are as follows (in thousands):

                                                              2001        2000

                                                      ==================

E) Revolving Line of Credit

In March 2001 the Company entered into a $50 million revolving line of credit.
The revolving line of credit matures five years from the closing date and
carries an interest rate of prime minus 150 basis points floating or LIBOR plus
75 basis points, at the Company's option. Interest is payable quarterly on prime
borrowings and at the earlier of quarterly or maturity with respect to LIBOR
contracts. The line of credit contains certain financial covenants regarding
interest coverage, minimum stockholders' equity and working capital, all of
which the Company was in compliance with at March 31, 2001.

F) On March 30, 2001, the Company purchased certain assets of Premier Farnell's
Cleveland based North American Industrial Products (IPD) and Kent Automotive
(Kent) Divisions for approximately $28.4 million plus approximately $8.0 million
for related inventories. This all-cash transaction was accounted for as a
purchase; accordingly, the accounts and transactions of the acquired business
have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of
acquisition. Under the agreement, the Company acquired the field sales,
telephone sales and customer service professionals, the customer accounts,
certain administrative executives, and use of various intellectual properties,
including trademarks and trade names of the IPD and Kent divisions in certain
territories. The assets acquired were recorded at estimated fair values as
determined by the Company's management based on information currently available.
Accordingly, the allocation of the purchase price is subject to revision. The
Company will combine its existing operations with Premier Farnell's Premier
Fastener, Rotanium Products, Certanium Alloys, CT Engineering, JI Holcomb and
Kent Automotive business units in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central
America and the Caribbean.

Independent Accountants' Review Report


Board of Directors and Stockholders
Lawson Products, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Lawson
Products, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2001 and the related condensed
consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three month periods
ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which will be
performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not
express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements referred
to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States, the consolidated balance sheet of Lawson
Products, Inc. as of December 31, 2000, and the related consolidated statements
of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then
ended, not presented herein, and in our report dated February 23, 2001, we
expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In
our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2000, is fairly stated, in all
material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it
has been derived.
