DXP ENTERPRISES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed 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, certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been omitted. The Company believes that the
presentations and disclosures herein are adequate to make the information not
misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all
elimination entries and adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods.
The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. These condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's
10-K Annual Report for the year ended December 31,1997, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
Note 2: The Company
DXP Enterprises, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on July 26, 1996 in the
State of Texas. The Company is a leading supplier of maintenance, repair and
operating ("MRO") products, equipment and services to industrial customers. The
Company provides MRO products in the following categories: fluid handling
equipment, bearings and power transmission equipment, general mill and safety
supplies and electrical supplies. The Company also offers a line of valve and
valve automation products to its customers.
Note 3: Inventory
The Company uses the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of inventory valuation for
approximately 56 percent of its inventories. Remaining inventories are accounted
for using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. An actual valuation of
inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based
on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO
calculations must necessarily be based on management's estimates of expected
year-end inventory levels and costs. Because these are subject to many forces
beyond management's control, interim results are subject to the final year-end
LIFO inventory valuation. The reconciliation of FIFO inventory to LIFO basis is
as follows:

Note 4: Acquisition
On February 26, 1998, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company acquired
substantially all the assets of Tri-Electric Supply, Ltd ("Tri-Electric"). The
purchase price consisted of $6.2 million in cash, assumption of $1.6 million of
trade payables and other accrued expenses and a deferred payment up to a maximum
of $275,000 based on the earnings before interest and taxes and depreciation of
the acquired company to be paid on March 31, 1999, if earned. The results of
operations of Tri-Electric are included in the consolidated statements of income
from the date of acquisition. Goodwill of $3.9 million was recorded in
connection with the acquisition. The acquisition has been accounted for using
the purchase method of accounting.
The Company is continuing its evaluation of the acquisition of Tri-Electric as
it relates to the purchase price allocation. The allocation of the purchase
price is based on the best estimates of the Company using information currently
available. Certain adjustments relating to this acquisition are subject to
change based upon the final determination of the fair values of the net assets
acquired.
Note 5: Long-Term Debt
The Company has secured lines of credit for up to $40 million with an
institutional lender. The rate of interest ranges from LIBOR plus 2.25 percent
to prime plus .50 percent (8.50 percent at March 31, 1998). The line of credit
is secured by receivables, inventory, and machinery and equipment and matures
January, 1999. An executive officer of the Company, who is also a shareholder
of the Company, has personally guaranteed up to $500,000 of the obligations of
the Company under the line of credit. Additionally, certain shares held in trust
for this executive officer's children are also pledged to secure this line of
credit. The borrowings available under the existing lines of credit at March 31,
1998 approximated $3.1 million. This facility includes loan covenants, which,
among other things, require the Company to maintain a positive cash flow and
other financial ratios, which are measured monthly. During April 1998, the
Company amended its Credit Facility. (See Note 6)
Note 6: Subsequent Events
Effective April 29th, 1998, the Company amended its lines of credit with its
lender. The restructure provided for a combined line of credit for up to $50
million. Additionally, the loan restructure increased the Company's term loan
from $4.9 million to $9.9 million upon conversion of $5.0 million of the amounts
outstanding under the revolving loan to the term loan. The amended credit
facility provides for a $15.0 million acquisition term loan to be used for
acquisitions provided certain customary provisions related to combined cash
flows and acquisition pricing are met. Additionally, interest rates will range
from LIBOR plus 1.50 to LIBOR plus 3.00 depending upon the relationship of the
Company's debt to cash flow and financial covenants tied to debt service levels
and cash flow.

Item 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1997
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1998 increased 62.7% to $49.0
million from the three months ended March 31, 1997. The Company's acquisitions
during the period accounted for $14.5 million of the $18.9 million increase in
revenues. Sales of bearings and power transmission equipment for the quarter
ended March 31, 1998 increased 19.6%, or $2.4 million over the comparable period
in 1997, accounting for 7.8% of the revenue increase. Sales of valve and valve
automation equipment increased 39.8%, or $.7 million over the comparable period
in 1997, accounting for 2.2% of the revenue increase. During the three months
ended March 31, 1998, sales of pumps and pump products increased 4.5%, or $1.3
million, over the comparable period in 1997, accounting for 5.6% of the revenue
increase.
Gross margins decreased 2.1% for the first quarter of 1998 as compared to the
first quarter of 1997, from 27.8% of sales to 25.7%. The decrease in gross
margin is attributable to lower margins associated with the two businesses
acquired in May, 1997 and a third in February, 1998. The Company currently
expects some increase in manufacturers prices to continue due to increased raw
material costs and strong market conditions. Although the Company intends to
attempt to pass on these price increases to its customers to maintain current
gross margins, there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in
this regard.
Selling, general and administrative expense decreased as a percentage of
revenues by 1.9% for the first quarter of 1998 as compared to the first quarter
of 1997.
Operating income for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 was consistent
as a percentage of revenues as compared to the first quarter of 1997.
Interest expense during the first quarter of 1998 increased by $246,000 to
$785,000 compared to the first quarter of 1997. Long-term debt at March 31, 1998
increased by $15.5 million as a result of the financing of two acquisitions
during the second quarter of 1997 and a third during the first quarter of 1998,
resulting in greater interest costs. Average interest rates were consistent
during the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the same period in
1997.
The Company's provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31,
1998 increased by $161,000 compared to the same period of 1997, as a result of
the increase in profits.
Net income for the three month period ended March 31, 1998, increased $87,000
from the three month period ended March 31, 1997 due to the increase in revenue
volume and the decrease of selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenue.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Under the Company's loan agreements with its bank lender (the "Credit
Facility"), all available cash is generally applied to reduce outstanding
borrowings, with operations funded through borrowings under the credit facility.
The Company's policy is to maintain low levels of cash and cash equivalents and
to use borrowings under its line of credit for working capital. The Company had
$3.1 million available for borrowings under its working capital line of credit
at March 31, 1998. Working capital at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 was
$38.2 million and $36.5 million, respectively. During the first three months of
1998 and the year 1997, the Company collected its trade receivables in
approximately 49 and 46 days, respectively, and turned its inventory
approximately five times on an annualized basis.
7
8
Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 1998, the Company amended the
Credit Facility and currently has a combined line of credit for up to $50
million. Additionally, the loan restructure increased the Company's term loan
from $4.9 million to $9.9 million upon conversion of $5.0 million of the amounts
outstanding under the revolving loan to the term loan. The amended credit
facility provides for a $15.0 million acquisition term loan to be used for
acquisitions provided certain customary provisions related to combined cash
flows and acquisition pricing are met. Additionally, interest rates will range
from LIBOR plus 1.50 to LIBOR plus 3.00 depending upon the relationship of the
Company's debt to cash flow and financial covenants tied to debt service levels
and cash flow. The line of credit is secured by receivables, inventory, and
machinery and equipment and matures January, 2000. The facility contains
customary affirmative and negative covenants as well as financial covenants that
require the Company to maintain a positive cash flow and other financial ratios,
such as tangible net worth less than five to one and current assets to current
liabilities greater than two to one.
The Company generated cash from operating activities of $3.4 million in the
first three months of 1998 as compared to $1.0 million during the first three
months of 1997 due primarily to a reduction in the net working capital
components during the first three months of 1998.
The Company had capital expenditures of approximately $250,000 for the first
three months of 1998 as compared to $227,000 during the same period of 1997.
Capital expenditures in the first three months of 1998 were primarily related to
computer hardware ($136,000). Capital expenditures for 1997 were predominantly
for the expansion of a facility in LaPorte, Texas ($80,000), leasehold
improvements and furniture and fixtures at the corporate office and for office
equipment and computer automation.
On February 26, 1998, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company acquired
substantially all of the assets of Tri-Electric Supply, Ltd ("Tri-Electric").
The purchase price consisted of $6.2 million in cash, assumption of 1.6 million
of trade payables and other accrued expenses and a deferred payment of up to a
maximum of $275,000 based on the earnings before interest and taxes and
depreciation of the acquired Company to be paid on March 31, 1999, if earned.
The results of operations of Tri-Electric are included in the consolidated
statements of income from the date of acquisition. The acquisition has been
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill of $3.9 million
was recorded in connection with the acquisition.
The Company expects that its software will be year 2000 compatible by the end of
1998. The upgrading of the Company's software to address year 2000 issues is
being handled through new releases of current software. All costs associated
with year 2000 issues will be included as part of normal software upgrades or
operating costs, as appropriate. The Company does not believe that any of the
costs associated with year 2000 issues will be material to its financial
condition or results of operations.
The Company believes that cash generated from operations and available under its
Credit Facility will meet its future ongoing operational and liquidity needs and
capital requirements. Funding of the Company's acquisition program and
integrated supply strategy will require capital in the form of the issuance of
additional equity or debt financing. There can be no assurance that such
financing will be available to the Company or as to the terms thereof.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
The Company's expectations with respect to future results of operations that may
be embodied in oral and written forward-looking statements, including any
forward-looking statements that may be contained in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q, are subject to risks and uncertainties that must be considered when
evaluating the likelihood of the Company's realization of such expectations. The
Company's actual results could differ materially. Factors that could cause or
contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed
below.
Risks Associated With Acquisition Strategy
Future results for the company will depend in part on the success of the Company
in implementing its acquisition strategy. This strategy includes taking
advantage of a consolidation trend in the industry and effecting acquisitions of
distributors with complementary or desirable new product lines, strategic
distribution locations and attractive customer bases and manufacturer
relationships. The ability of the Company to implement this strategy will be
dependent on its ability to identify, consummate and successfully assimilate
acquisitions on economically favorable terms. Although the Company is actively
seeking acquisitions that would meet its strategic objectives, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in these efforts. In addition,
acquisitions involve a number of specific risks, including possible adverse
effects on the Company's operating results, diversion of management's attention
and failure to retain key acquired personnel, all of which could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations. There can be no assurance that the Company or other industrial
supply distributors acquired in the future will achieve anticipated revenues and
earnings. In addition, the Credit Facility contains certain restrictions that
could adversely affect its ability to implement its acquisition strategy. Such
restrictions include a provision prohibiting the Company from merging or
consolidating with, or acquiring all or a substantial part of the properties or
capital stock of, any other entity without the prior written consent of the
lender. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the
lender's consent to any of its proposed acquisitions.
Risks Related to Acquisition Financing
The Company currently intends to finance acquisitions by using shares of its
common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), for a portion or
all of the consideration to be paid. In the event that the Common Stock does not
maintain a sufficient market value, or potential acquisition candidates are
otherwise unwilling to accept Common Stock as part of the consideration for the
sale of their business, the Company may be required to use more of its cash
resources, if available, to maintain its acquisition program. If the Company
does not have sufficient cash resources, its growth could be limited unless it
is able to obtain additional capital through debt or equity financing. Under the
Credit Facility, all available cash generally is applied to reduce outstanding
borrowings. As of March 31, 1998, the Company had $3.1 million available under
the Credit Facility, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to obtain additional financing on a timely basis or on terms the Company deems
acceptable. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources".
Risks Related to Growth Strategy
Future results for the Company also will depend in part on the Company's success
in implementing its internal growth strategy, which includes expanding existing
product lines and adding new product lines. The ability of the Company to
implement this strategy will depend on its success in acquiring and integrating
new product lines and marketing integrated forms of supply arrangements such as
those being pursued by the Company through its SmartSource and American MRO
programs. The Company acquired the assets of two companies in the second quarter
of 1997 and another in the first quarter of 1998 and plans to acquire other
distributors with complementary or desirable product lines and customer bases.
Although the Company intends to increase sales and product offerings to the
customers of these and other acquired companies, reduce costs through
consolidating certain administrative and sales functions and integrate the
acquired companies' management information systems with the Company's system,
there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in these efforts.
9
10
Substantial Competition
The Company's business is highly competitive. The Company competes with a
variety of industrial supply distributors, some of which may have greater
financial and other resources than the Company. Although many of the Company's
traditional distribution competitors are small enterprises selling to customers
in a limited geographic area, the Company also competes with larger distributors
that provide integrated supply programs such as those offered through
outsourcing services similar to those that are being offered by the Company's
SmartSource and American MRO programs. Some of these large distributors may be
able to supply their products in a more timely and cost-efficient manner than
the Company. The Company's competitors include direct mail suppliers, large
warehouse stores and, to a lesser extent, certain manufacturers.
Risks of Economic Trends
Demand for the Company's products is subject to changes in the United States
economy in general and economic trends affecting the Company's customer and the
industries in which they compete in particular. Many of these industries, such
as the oil and gas industry, are subject to volatility while others, such as the
petrochemical industry, are cyclical and materially affected by changes in the
economy. As a result, the Company may experience changes in demand for its
products as changes occur in the markets of its customers.
Dependence on Key Personnel
The Company will continue to be dependent to a significant extent upon the
efforts and ability of David R. Little, its Chairman of the Board, President and
Chief Executive Officer. The loss of the services of Mr. Little or any other
executive officer of the company could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition and results of operations. The Company does not
maintain key-man life insurance on Mr. Little or on the lives of its other
executive officers. In addition, the Company's ability to grow successfully will
be dependent upon its ability to attract and retain qualified management and
technical and operational personnel. The failure to attract and retain such
persons could materially adversely effect the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.
Dependence on Supplier Relationships
The Company has distribution rights for certain product lines and depends on
these distribution rights for a substantial portion of its business. Many of
these distribution rights are pursuant to contracts that are subject to
cancellation upon little or no prior notice. The termination or limitation by
any key supplier of its relationship with the Company could have a material
adverse affect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Risks Associated with Hazardous Materials
Certain of the Company's operations are subject to federal, state and local laws
and regulations controlling the discharge of materials into or otherwise
relating to the protection of the environment. Although the Company believes
that it has adequate procedures to comply with applicable discharge and other
environmental laws, the risks of accidental contamination or injury from the
discharge of controlled or hazardous materials and chemicals cannot be
eliminated completely. In the event of such an accident, the Company could be
held liable for any damages that result and any such liability could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations.
