                                EXPLANATORY NOTE


          On May 29, 2001, Pameco Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Pameco"), consummated a going-private transaction (the "Merger") in which a
newly formed entity merged with and into Pameco. As a result of the Merger, the
common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Pameco ceased to trade over the
counter on the Bulletin Board and became eligible for termination of
registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) and Rule 12h-3 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly on May 29, 2001, Pameco filed a
Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration on Form 15 with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

          The purpose of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration
Statements on Form S-8 (Registration File Nos. 333-49352, 333-43849 and 333-
33939) is to terminate the effectiveness of such Registration Statements and to
deregister all of the securities originally registered thereby which remain
outstanding as of such termination.
