NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE THREE MONTHS
ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997 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, 1998.
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.
2. INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net income per share is based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding and net income. Diluted net income per share is based
on the weighted average of common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive
Employee stock options and net income. Basic and diluted earnings per share were
the same for the first quarter of 1997 and 1998.
3. REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenues when goods are shipped.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(UNAUDITED)
NET SALES
Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 were up 6.9% compared to
the same quarter in the prior year. Warehouse shipments increased 3.3% and
factory direct shipments increased 13.5%. The increase in factory direct
shipments reflects record sales at a Dealers' Mart held during the quarter and
the Company's expanded efforts to increase sales of lumber and building
materials.
Gross margins on direct shipments are lower than gross margins on
warehouse shipments; however, expenses related to direct shipments are also
lower. While the trend toward factory direct shipments has resulted in decreased
gross margins, the Company believes that direct shipments are an important part
of its business as a full-service wholesale distributor.
The following table sets forth the major elements of net sales:

GROSS MARGIN
The gross margin percentage for the first quarter of 1998 was 15.0%, up
from 14.6% in the first quarter of 1997. The increase is due to a new pricing
program begun late in 1997 and to lower cost of merchandise as the Company has
taken increased advantage of special buying opportunities offered by suppliers.
These factors were offset somewhat by the increase in factory direct shipments
as a percentage of total sales.
The following table sets forth the gross margin dollars, gross margin
percentages and year-over-year changes for 1997 and the first quarter of 1998:

1998 - 1st 6,066 15.0 $ 555 .4
WAREHOUSE AND DELIVERY EXPENSES
As a percentage of warehouse shipments, warehouse and delivery expenses
decreased to 9.0% in the first quarter of 1998 from 9.4% in the same quarter
last year. Ongoing efforts to further reduce warehouse expense include resetting
the warehouse which the Company now expects will not be completed until the end
of the year.
The following table shows the trend in warehouse and delivery expenses
in 1997 and the first quarter of 1998:

SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 1997
included an accrual of $225,000 for severance pay; no similar expense occurred
in 1998. This savings was offset in part by increases in other selling and
administrative expenses and overall these expenses decreased $123,000 for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 compared to the same quarter of 1997.
The following table shows the quarterly trend in selling and
administrative expenses in 1997 and the first quarter of 1998.

4th 3,486 10.7 (8) (.2)
1998 - 1st $3,374 8.3 $(123) (.9)
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
From December 31, 1997 to March 31, 1998 the Company's net trade
receivables increased by $6,374,000 or 27.9%. The increase was due to the higher
level of sales in March 1998 (which includes shipment of orders taken at a
Dealers Mart held in February) and because of extended terms given to customers
as a part of a sales promotion conducted in January.
Inventories decreased by $533,000 or 3.1% in the same period. However,
inventories were up $2,414,000 compared to March 31, 1997 as the Company took
increased advantage of special buying opportunities offered by suppliers.
Trade payables increased $7,702,000 or 43.2% from December 1997 because
of extended terms received from suppliers in connection with the Dealers' Mart.
At March 31, 1998 the Company had unused lines of credit of $2,035,000,
which it believes are adequate to finance its working capital requirements.
IMPACT OF YEAR 2000
Some of the Company's older computer programs were written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. As a result, those
computer programs have time-sensitive software that recognize a date using "00"
as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could cause a system failure or
miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other
things,
- 9 -
10
a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage in
similar normal business activities.
The Company is in the process of assessing which portions of its
software will have to be modified or replaced so that its computer systems will
function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and thereafter. The
total year 2000 project cost is not yet available. To date, the Company has not
incurred any material costs related to the development of a modification plan.
INFORMATION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain of the statements contained in this report (other than the
financial statements and other statements of historical fact) are
forward-looking statements. The use of words such as "Expects" and "Believes"
indicate the presence of forward-looking statements. There can be no assurance
that future developments will be in accordance with management's expectations or
that the effect of future developments 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;
- 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;
- changes in general economic conditions; and
- impact of year 2000 on the Company's information systems.
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.
