                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                    (INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE SIX MONTHS
                   ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996 IS UNAUDITED)


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION.

        The financial statements included herein have been prepared by Moore-
Handley, Inc. (the "Company"), without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes
that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission on March 27, 1997.

        The financial information presented herein reflects all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary to a fair statement of the results of the interim periods.
The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be
expected for the year.

        The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement No. 128,
Earnings per Share. This must be adopted by the Company on December 31, 1997 at
which time it must restate all prior periods. The impact, if any, of Statement
128 on the calculation of earings per share for the first quarter of 1997 and
1996 is not expected to be material.

2. LINES OF CREDIT

        On August 7, 1997 the Company entered into a credit agreement under
which it may borrow up to 85% of eligible receivables up to a maximum of
$15,000,000. The borrowings bear interest at the prime interest rate or, at the
Company's option, 2 1/2 % over LIBOR, and are secured by the Company's trade
receivables. This credit facility replaces the Company's lines of credit with
banks totaling $10,000,000 of which $9,800,000 was outstanding as of June 30,
1997 and one of which was amended in the second quarter to avoid a violation of
a debt covenant.

NET SALES

        Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 were down 1% compared to
the same quarter in the prior year. Warehouse shipments were down $1,725,000, or
7%, which was largely offset by a 13% increase in factory direct shipments. The
increase in factory direct shipments was due to increased sales of lumber and
building materials.

The following table sets forth the major elements of net sales:

GROSS MARGIN

        The gross margin percentage for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 was down
1.0% compared to the same quarter last year and for the six months decreased by
 .8% compared to the prior year. About half of the decrease was due to the
increase in factory direct shipments as a percent of total sales and the balance
of the decrease is due to more competitive pricing.

        The following table shows the gross margin trend in 1996 and the first
and second quarters of 1997:

WAREHOUSE AND DELIVERY EXPENSES

        The aftereffects of the major warehouse construction project of last
year continued to be felt through the second quarters.  Warehouse and delivery
expenses were down $125,000 compared to the same period last year. However, as a
percentage of warehouse shipments, these expenses increased to 10.3% compared to
10.1% for the same quarter last year.

        The following table shows the trend in warehouse and delivery expenses
in 1996 and the first and second quarters of 1997:

SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

        During the quarter the Company undertook further reductions in selling
and administrative personnel and, as a result, accrued $175,000 for severance
pay and expenses. These personnel and other expense reductions made during the
first half of the year will reduce expenses by about $1,000,000 annually. Some
of these cost reductions began to be recognized in the second quarter and the
remainder will begin to be recognized in the balance of the current calendar
year. Excluding severance pay in both quarters, selling and administrative
expense is down $139,000 for the second quarter of 1997 compared to the same
quarter last year.

        The following table shows the trend in selling and administrative
expenses in 1996 and the first and second quarters of 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        Capital expenditures of $647,000 were made during the six months ended
June 30, 1997. Largely due to the elimination of excess stock,inventories were
down $2,998,000 from December, 1996.

        On August 7, 1997 the Company entered into a credit agreement under
which it may borrow up to 85% of eligible receivables up to a maximum of
$15,000,000. The borrowings bear interest at the prime interest rate or, at the
Company's option, 2 1/2 % over LIBOR, and are secured by the Company's trade
receivables. This credit facility replaces the Company's lines of credit with
banks totaling $10,000,000 of which $9,800,000 was outstanding as of June 30,
1997 and one of which was amended in the second quarter to avoid a violation of
a debt covenant. The Company believes this new credit facility will be adequate
to finance its working capital needs.


INFORMATION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        Certain of the statements contained in this report (other than the finan
cial statements and other statements of historical fact) are forward-looking
statements. There can be no assurance that future developments will be in
accordance with management's expectations or that the affect of future develop
ments on the Company will be those anticipated by management. Among the factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates reflected in
such forward-looking statements are the following:

        -       competitive pressures on sales and pricing, including those from
        other wholesale distributors and those from retailers in competition
        with the Company's customers;

        -       the Company's ability to achieve projected cost savings from its
        warehouse modernization program and ongoing cost reduction efforts;


                                    - 10 -

   11



        -       changes in cost of goods and the effect of differential terms 
        and conditions available to larger competitors of the Company;

        -       uncertainties associated with any acquisition the Company may 
        seek to implement; and

        -       changes in general economic conditions.

        While the Company periodically reassesses material trends and
uncertainties affecting the Company's results of operations and financial
condition in connection with its preparation of management's discussion and
analysis of results of operations and financial condition contained in its
quarterly and annual reports, the Company does not intend to review or revise
any particular forward-looking statement referenced in light of future events.
