STYLE="margin-left:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market. The cost of substantially all inventories is determined by the average cost method. The Company evaluates its
inventory value at the end of each quarter to ensure that it is carried at the lower of cost or market. This evaluation includes an analysis of a branch&#146;s physical inventory results over the last two years and a review of potential dead stock
based on historical product sales and forecasted sales. Periodically, the branch&#146;s perpetual inventory records are adjusted to reflect permanent declines in market value. During the third quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company changed its estimate
of potential dead stock as discussed below. This change resulted in inventory reserves of $7,773 at November 1, 2002 compared to $9,849 at January 25, 2002. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV STYLE="margin-left:8%"><FONT

course of fiscal 2003 through the use of improved inventory reporting tools, including the analysis of inventory on a product by product basis. The combination of renewed emphasis on inventory management and the greater visibility from the new
reporting tools led to the development of programs to dispose of dead stock on a product specific basis. These programs include returning products to manufacturers, transferring products to other branches where the products are selling, reducing the
sales prices of the products, and disposing of any remaining products that could not be returned, transferred, or sold. As a result of this analysis and these programs, the Company reduced its estimate

Accounting Principles Board (&#147;APB&#148;) Opinion No. 30, <I>Reporting the Results of Operations&#151;Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and

broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include components of an entity rather than being limited to a segment of a business. The Company adopted FAS 144 as of January 26, 2002. The adoption had no impact on the Company&#146;s

losses from the extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria set forth by APB Opinion No. 30 will now be used to classify those gains and

existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. For the provisions related to the rescission of FAS 4, FAS 145 is effective for the Company

includes a presumption that cash consideration received by a customer from a vendor be treated as a reduction of cost of sales when recognized in the customer&#146;s income statement. In addition, if the vendor offers the customer a rebate or refund
of a specified amount of cash consideration that is payable only if the customer completes a specified level of purchases or remains a customer for a specified time period, the customer should recognize the rebate or refund as a reduction of cost of
sales based on a systematic and rational allocation of the cash consideration to each of the underlying transactions that results in progress by the customer toward earning the rebate or refund. As the Company already accounts for such consideration
as a reduction of cost of sales based on a systematic and rational allocation of the cash consideration to be received, this EITF has no impact on the Company&#146;s consolidated financial statements. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT

the purchase method of accounting. FAS 141 also specifies the criteria which must be met in order for certain acquired intangible assets to be recorded separately from goodwill. Under FAS 142, goodwill is no longer amortized but rather tested for
impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. This new approach requires the use of valuation techniques and methodologies significantly different from the undiscounted cash
flow policy previously followed by the Company. The Company adopted FAS 142 effective January 26, 2002. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV STYLE="margin-left:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">Within

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">On August 9, 2002, the Company acquired one hundred percent of the capital stock of Utiliserve Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (&#147;Utiliserve&#148;), a wholesale distributor of electrical
transmission and distribution products and services to the U.S. electric utility industry. As a result of the acquisition, the Company expects to be a leading provider of electrical transmission and distribution products and services in the U.S. It
also expects to expand the development of customer contracts as a result of Utiliserve&#146;s value-added services, including vendor-managed inventory, collaborative emergency response and job-site delivery. Through its supply chain management
solutions, Utiliserve is able to assume full responsibility for its customers&#146; warehouse, work-flow, and inventory management needs. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV STYLE="margin-left:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">The purchase price consisted of $33,422 cash paid for Utiliserve&#146;s net equity along with the assumption of $54,536 and $27,849 of long-term debt and other liabilities, respectively. The results of Utiliserve&#146;s
operations have been included in the Company&#146;s consolidated statements of income since August 9, 2002. The total cost of the acquisition was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their
respective fair values in accordance with FAS 141 (See Note 8). Goodwill, all of which is non-deductible for income tax purposes, and other intangible assets recorded in connection with the transaction totaled $53,308 and $8,560, respectively. The
goodwill was assigned entirely to the Electrical &amp; Plumbing Group. The fair value assigned to intangible assets and the related weighted-average useful life was based on valuations prepared by an independent third party appraisal firm using
estimates and assumptions provided by management. The intangible assets are subject to amortization and consist mainly of customer contracts that are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average useful life of 14.6 years. The
estimated annual amortization expense related to these contracts for the next five fiscal years is expected to be $619. Pro forma results of operations reflecting this acquisition have not been presented because the results of operations of
Utiliserve are not material to the Company&#146;s consolidated operating results or assets in fiscal 2003 or 2002. </FONT></DIV>

$15,000 line of credit agreement were allocated to an operating lease agreement. On August 30, 2002, the operating lease agreement was amended to increase borrowing capacity from $15,000 to $18,666. Under the terms of the operating lease agreement,
the Company leases certain equipment, including vehicles, forklifts, and trailers from various companies with funds provided by the $18,666 line of credit. Monthly payments are made to the bank in accordance with the terms of each specific equipment
lease. There was no remaining availability under the operating lease agreement at November 1, 2002. There were no amounts outstanding at November 1, 2002 under the $10,000 line of credit agreement. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT

lease agreement was paid off and rolled into the credit agreement. Under the terms of the credit agreement, SunTrust agreed to fund up to a maximum of $25,000 for the acquisition and development of the Company&#146;s new corporate headquarters
building in Orlando, Florida. The credit agreement bears interest based on LIBOR plus applicable credit spreads (currently estimated to be 102.5 basis points) and matures July 31, 2005. At November 1, 2002, the total outstanding borrowings and
related assets of $11,242 under the credit agreement are recorded in long-term debt and construction in progress. </FONT></DIV>

closure costs of $5,969, including cost of sales of $1,647, selling, general and administrative expenses of $3,664, and non-operating expenses of $658. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses were severance expense of $519, lease
expense of $1,610, professional expense of $650, and other expenses of $885. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV STYLE="margin-left:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">The cost of sales amounts
represented an inventory write-down of products that will no longer be saleable following the closure of the branches. Severance expense included charges associated with payments owed to employees who have been or will be involuntarily terminated in
connection with the Company&#146;s branch closures. All terminations from branch closures in fiscal 2003 are expected to occur prior to January 31, 2003. The Company has accrued the estimated lease obligation from the planned closure date through
the end of the contractual lease term, net of any estimated sublease income. Other costs accrued for branches identified for closure were based on amounts due under agreements and/or based on estimates to terminate such agreements. Non-operating
expenses primarily related to write-downs of assets for which the Company projects the undiscounted cash flows to be less than the carrying amount of the related investment. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV

the Company for several months and a new strategic direction set. In connection with this reorganization, the Company initiated centralization programs in vendor relations, customer service, and support service areas, which are designed to leverage
these functions across the entire Company. The branch operations were then reorganized under the management of three group (&#147;Group&#148;) presidents, as compared to being managed by five Group presidents in the prior fiscal year. </FONT></DIV>

centralization programs in vendor relations, customer service, and support service areas, which are designed to leverage these functions across the entire Company. The branch operations were then reorganized under the management of three group

branches accounted for $51,487 of the increase in net sales. The majority of net sales for acquired and newly-opened branches related to the acquisition of Utiliserve Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (&#147;Utiliserve&#148;) in the Electrical
&amp; Plumbing Group with $47,919 of net sales. Comparable branch sales declined $17,338 or 2.4% largely as a result of a slow-down in the non-residential building and commercial construction sectors, including office buildings, hotels and motels,
and other commercial buildings. This slow-down created pricing pressure on newer projects. Comparable branch sales were also unfavorably impacted by a decline in industrial sales as certain projects have been postponed and/or cancelled until
economic conditions become more stable. The remaining difference of $20,130 is attributable to the closure and/or consolidation of under-performing branches, primarily in the Electrical &amp; Plumbing and Water &amp; Sewer/Building Materials Groups.

Comparable branch sales declined $78,473 or 3.5% primarily due to a slow-down in the non-residential building and commercial construction sectors, which created pricing pressure on newer projects along with a decline in industrial sales as certain
projects have been postponed and/or cancelled. An additional $72,222 of the decrease is attributable to the closure and/or consolidation of under-performing branches. Partially offsetting these declines was an increase of $92,771 in net sales for
acquired and newly-opened branches combined with the addition of $55,132 in net sales from the additional week included in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. The majority of net sales for acquired and newly-opened branches related to the Electrical
&amp; Plumbing and Water &amp; Sewer/Building Materials Groups, which accounted for $55,476 and $35,530 of the increase in net sales. </FONT></DIV>

decreases were primarily attributable to an overall weakness in the electrical construction market, particularly in Florida, Georgia, and Texas. This Group supplied materials for several large infrastructure projects in fiscal 2002 with no
corresponding replacement projects in fiscal 2003. Comparable branch sales in the Texas market were unfavorably impacted due to inclement weather conditions. Net sales in the plumbing product line held relatively solid despite current market
conditions. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000"><I>Industrial </I></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"

postponement and cancellation of certain power generation, gas utility, and petro-chemical plant construction and/or rehabilitation projects in late fiscal 2002 and early fiscal 2003. These projects were postponed and cancelled by the Company&#146;s
customers due to weakened economic conditions, which resulted in reduced plant utilization. The comparable branch sales decline was partially offset by increased sales prices for certain commodity-based products, including stainless steel and nickel
alloys. Nickel pricing increased approximately 10% compared to the prior year&#146;s first nine months. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000"><I>Water &amp; Sewer/Building

non-residential construction sectors. Net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 for the water and sewer product line were also unfavorably impacted by the change in commodity prices for
certain PVC products, which has since abated. Partially offsetting these declines was strong sales growth in the Company&#146;s maintenance supplies and water and sewer product lines earlier in the year. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT

COLOR="#000000">Gross profit in the third quarter ended November 1, 2002 increased $5,528 or 3.0% compared to the prior year&#146;s third quarter. This increase was primarily driven by acquired and newly-opened branches, which accounted for $6,307
of the increase in gross profit. Comparable branch gross profit increased $3,195 or 1.9% primarily as a result of increases in vendor rebate programs, focused purchasing, and a change to a more proactive management and disposition of dead stock and
slower-moving inventories (the &#147;Company&#146;s dead stock program&#148;). Partially offsetting these increases was a decline of $3,974 related to the closure and/or consolidation of branches. Gross margin totaled 23.4% and 23.2% in the third
quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. The net improvement in gross margin was the result of various factors, both positive and negative. Gross margins increased due to increased vendor rebates (38 basis points), favorable results of the
Company&#146;s dead stock program (42 basis points), improved margins from the Industrial Group, primarily driven by nickel pricing (29 basis points), and improved margins from the 53 branches which are now on the &#147;Hughes Unified&#148;
operating system, primarily resulting from the implementation of centralized price matrices (37 basis points). Pricing pressures brought about by the intensified competition resulting from the slow-down in the non-residential and commercial
construction sectors as well as the impact of deflationary pressures on PVC and ductile pipe products combined to offset the increases which resulted in a net 20 basis point improvement in gross margin. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT

driven by acquired and newly-opened branches, which accounted for $14,396 of the increase in gross profit, combined with the addition of $12,995 in net sales from the additional week included in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. Comparable branch
gross profit decreased $3,047 or 0.6% primarily as a result of the slow-down in the commercial construction sector combined with deflationary pricing pressure on PVC and ductile pipe products. The remaining decrease of $12,999 related to the closure
and/or consolidation of branches. Gross margin totaled 23.2% and 22.7% in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. The net improvement in gross margin was the result of various factors, both positive and negative. Gross margins
increased due to increased vendor rebates (18 basis points), favorable results of the Company&#146;s dead stock program (30 basis points), improved margins from the Industrial Group, primarily driven by nickel pricing (23 basis points), and improved

<DIV><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">The 30 basis point improvement in gross margin in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 was largely the result of the closure of certain under-performing branches in fiscal 2002 coupled with
the implementation of centralized price matrices on the new &#147;Hughes Unified&#148; operating system. During the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2002, the Company closed approximately 30 branches in the Electrical &amp; Plumbing Group because
they did not strategically fit into the Company&#146;s core businesses and/or they did not perform to expectations. In fiscal 2003, three additional branches were closed. These branches generally yielded lower gross margins in relation to the other
branches. Gross margin was also favorably impacted by margin improvement programs initiated during fiscal 2002, including increases in vendor rebate programs, focused purchasing, and favorable results from the Company&#146;s dead stock program,
which was initiated in fiscal 2003. The newly acquired Utiliserve branches negatively impacted gross margins because of the lower margins generated on a higher proportion of direct shipments. Competitive pricing pressures in the commercial
construction sector also unfavorably impacted gross margins. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000"><I>Industrial </I></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">The 370 and 250 basis point improvements in gross margin in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2003, respectively, were due to increased sales prices for certain
commodity-based products, including stainless steel and nickel alloys. The Industrial Group&#146;s gross margins have benefited from favorable nickel pricing. Nickel pricing increased approximately 10% compared to the prior year&#146;s first nine
months. Gross margin was also favorably impacted by increases in vendor rebate programs. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000"><I>Water &amp; Sewer/Building Materials
</I></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">Gross margins in the Water &amp; Sewer/Building Materials Group remained relatively flat on a comparable basis. The 10 basis point
reduction in gross margin in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 was primarily attributable to competition and deflationary pricing pressure on PVC and ductile pipe products. On a year-to-date basis, gross margin improved 10 basis points as a result of
the favorable impact of margin improvement programs initiated during fiscal 2002, including increases in vendor rebate programs, focused purchasing, and favorable results from the Company&#146;s dead stock program, which was initiated in fiscal
2003. </FONT></DIV>

was largely due to lower comparable branch sales levels and normal pay rate increases combined with higher employee health insurance expense and incentive compensation expense. The Company&#146;s workforce remained essentially flat with 7,239 and
7,278 employees as of October 26, 2001 and November 1, 2002, respectively. At November 1, 2002, this included 154 additional employees as a result of the acquisition of Utiliserve. Employee health insurance expense increased $1,356 as a result of
higher inpatient claims and continued increases in overall health care costs, including prescription drug costs. Personnel expenses were also impacted by an increase of $745 in incentive compensation expense due to increased profitability along with
compensation expense related to the 400,000 shares of restricted stock issued during fiscal 2002. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $688 in discretionary type expenses, including overtime and contract labor, as a result of the
cost reduction programs initiated in fiscal 2002. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">Other selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales
totaled 5.7% and 5.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. This increase was primarily due to lower comparable branch sales levels and higher losses associated with the Company&#146;s casualty insurance program of $1,508 and
certain professional fees associated with consulting for various projects of $618. Other selling, general and administrative expenses totaling $426 related to the new &#147;Hughes Unified&#148; operating system currently being implemented by the
Company. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">Depreciation and amortization decreased $2,538 or 33.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to the prior year&#146;s

and 2002, respectively. The additional week added $7,200 of personnel expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. Had the additional week been excluded from operating results, personnel expenses in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 would have
been $280,755, a $7,305 or 2.5% decrease from the prior year&#146;s first nine months. Personnel expenses were also favorably impacted by reductions of $3,021 in discretionary type expenses, including overtime and contract labor, as a result of the
cost reduction programs initiated in fiscal 2002. Severance expense also declined in fiscal 2003 and totaled $475 and $2,634 in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. Approximately $1,500 of severance expense in fiscal 2002
related to the Company&#146;s separation agreement with its former president, which occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Incentive compensation expense under stock plans of $1,878 and $540 in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and
2002, respectively, primarily related to the 400,000 shares of restricted stock issued to key executives during fiscal 2002 as previously discussed above. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

and administrative expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. Had the additional week been excluded from operating results, other selling, general and administrative expenses in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 would have been $137,164, a
$2,398 or 1.8% increase from the prior year&#146;s first nine months. This increase was primarily due to a non-recurring donation totaling $800 made by the Company in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 to the Hughes Supply, Inc. Foundation, a
not-for-profit charitable organization, combined with higher losses on the Company&#146;s casualty insurance program of $1,752. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"

eliminated under FAS 142. The remaining decrease of $1,845 was primarily due to reduced capital spending in fiscal 2003 along with the elimination of depreciation expense related to the Company&#146;s forklift fleet and trailers. Certain of these
assets were sold and subsequently leased back by the Company in August 2001. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">As a percentage of net sales, the provision for doubtful

respectively, and $1,395 and $569 in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. The overall increases in gains on sales of property and equipment were due to the sale of certain land and building assets resulting from the closure

reduction of average outstanding debt balances combined with lower interest rates in fiscal 2003. Borrowing levels were reduced in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2003 largely as a result of working capital improvements. In the third quarter
of fiscal 2003, the Company made additional borrowings under its revolving credit agreement in order to fund the acquisition of Utiliserve. As a result, total debt increased from $422,846 as of January 25, 2002 to $455,914 as of November 1, 2002.

increase of $5,228 of gross accounts receivable and a decrease of $54,744 of inventories in the comparable period in fiscal 2002. Partially offsetting these changes were increases in net income and accounts payable. Accounts receivable increased as
a result of higher sales volumes. Overall, days sales outstanding for accounts receivable remained relatively flat in both periods. Inventories and accounts payable increased as a result of strategic purchases, primarily in the Industrial Group.

certain acquired intangible assets to be recorded separately from goodwill. Under FAS 142, goodwill is no longer amortized but rather tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset

143, which is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2004, addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The Company does
not expect the adoption of FAS 143 in fiscal 2004 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">FAS 144,
<I>Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, </I>was issued in August 2001. This standard establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of, including segments, and supercedes FAS 121, <I>Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, </I>and Accounting Principles Board (&#147;APB&#148;) Opinion No. 30, <I>Reporting the Results of Operations &#150; Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment
of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions</I>. Under FAS 144, goodwill is no longer allocated to long-lived assets, and, therefore, no longer subjected to testing for impairment as part of those
assets, but tested separately as prescribed by FAS 142. In addition, FAS 144 broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include components of an entity rather than being limited to a segment of a business. The Company adopted FAS 144 as
of January 26, 2002. The adoption had no impact on the Company&#146;s consolidated financial statements. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">FAS 145,<I> Rescission of FASB
Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections</I>, was issued in April 2002. This newly issued standard rescinds FAS 4, <I>Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt &#150; an amendment of
APB Opinion No. 30</I>, which required all gains and losses from the extinguishments of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria set forth by APB Opinion
No. 30 will now be used to classify those gains and losses. FAS 145 also amends FAS 13 to require that certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions be accounted for in the same manner as
sale-leaseback transactions. In addition, FAS 145 amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. For the provisions related to the
rescission of FAS 4, FAS 145 is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2004. The remaining provisions of FAS 145 are effective for the Company in fiscal 2003. The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 145 to have a material impact on
its consolidated financial statements. </FONT></DIV>

2002 and addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities. This standard requires recording costs associated with exit or disposal activities at their fair values when a liability has been incurred.
Under the previous guidance of Emerging Issues Task Force (&#147;EITF&#148;) Issue 94-3, <I>Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a
Restructuring)</I>, certain exit costs were recorded upon management&#146;s commitment to an exit plan. Adoption of this standard is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002 with earlier application
encouraged. The Company will adopt FAS 146 effective January 1, 2003 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus with respect to EITF Issue 02-16, <I>Accounting by a Customer (including a Reseller) for Cash Consideration Received from a Vendor</I>. This consensus
includes a presumption that cash consideration received by a customer from a vendor be treated as a reduction of cost of sales when recognized in the customer&#146;s income statement. In addition, if the vendor offers the customer a rebate or refund
of a specified amount of cash consideration that is payable only if the customer completes a specified level of purchases or remains a customer for a specified time period, the customer should recognize the rebate or refund as a reduction of cost of
sales based on a systematic and rational allocation of the cash consideration to each of the underlying transactions that results in progress by the customer toward earning the rebate or refund. As the Company already accounts for such consideration
as a reduction of cost of sales based on a systematic and rational allocation of the cash consideration to be received, this EITF has no impact on the Company&#146;s consolidated financial statements. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT

Company&#146;s significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to the Annual Report. Certain of the Company&#146;s accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate
assumptions for calculating financial estimates. As with all judgments, they are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These judgments are based on historical experience, current economic trends in the industry, information provided by
customers and vendors, information available from other outside sources and management&#146;s estimates, as appropriate. The Company&#146;s critical accounting policies relating to the allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment of long-lived
assets, and self-insurance reserves are described in the Annual Report. As of November 1, 2002, there have been no material changes to any of the critical accounting policies with the exception of inventories as discussed below. </FONT></DIV>

inventory records are adjusted to reflect permanent declines in market value. During the third quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company changed its estimate of potential dead stock as discussed below. This change resulted in inventory reserves of $7,773

management group to better manage potential dead stock and excess inventories. Their efforts have been strengthened over the course of fiscal 2003 through the use of improved inventory reporting tools, including the analysis of inventory on a
product by product basis. The combination of renewed emphasis on inventory management and the greater visibility from the new reporting tools led to the development of programs to dispose of dead stock on a product specific basis. These programs
include returning products to manufacturers, transferring products to other branches where the products are selling, reducing the sales prices of the products, and disposing of any remaining products that could </FONT></DIV>

effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company&#146;s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company&#146;s management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company&#146;s disclosure controls and
procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company&#146;s reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods
specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission&#146;s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company&#146;s management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
disclosure. There have been no significant changes in the Company&#146;s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect such internal controls subsequent to the date that the Company&#146;s management conducted its evaluation.

HUGHES SUPPLY, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
(in thousands, except share and per
share data)
Note 1.
Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of Hughes Supply, Inc. (the "Company"), the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the financial position as of November 1, 2002, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended November 1, 2002 and October 26, 2001, and cash flows for the nine months then ended. The results of operations
for the three and nine months ended November 1, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the trends or results that may be expected for the full year.
Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted from these interim consolidated financial statements. Accordingly,
these interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 25, 2002, as filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Fiscal Year
The fiscal year of the Company is a 52 or 53-week period ending on the last Friday in January. Fiscal year 2003 will be a 53-week period
while fiscal year 2002 was a 52-week period. The nine months ended November 1, 2002 and October 26, 2001 contained 40 and 39 weeks, respectively, while the third quarter of both fiscal periods contained 13 weeks.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications had no net impact on previously reported results of operations.
Inventories
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market. The cost of substantially all inventories is determined by the average cost method. The Company evaluates its
inventory value at the end of each quarter to ensure that it is carried at the lower of cost or market. This evaluation includes an analysis of a branch's physical inventory results over the last two years and a review of potential dead stock
based on historical product sales and forecasted sales. Periodically, the branch's perpetual inventory records are adjusted to reflect permanent declines in market value. During the third quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company changed its estimate
of potential dead stock as discussed below. This change resulted in inventory reserves of $7,773 at November 1, 2002 compared to $9,849 at January 25, 2002.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company initiated an inventory management group to better manage potential dead stock and excess inventories. Their efforts have been strengthened over the
course of fiscal 2003 through the use of improved inventory reporting tools, including the analysis of inventory on a product by product basis. The combination of renewed emphasis on inventory management and the greater visibility from the new
reporting tools led to the development of programs to dispose of dead stock on a product specific basis. These programs include returning products to manufacturers, transferring products to other branches where the products are selling, reducing the
sales prices of the products, and disposing of any remaining products that could not be returned, transferred, or sold. As a result of this analysis and these programs, the Company reduced its estimate
6
Table of Contents
of inventory reserves required for potential dead stock, which resulted in an adjusted reserve of $7,773 at November 1, 2002 compared to $9,849 at January 25, 2002. This adjustment favorably
impacted gross margin in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2003 by 42 and 30 basis points, respectively (See
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
section of management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results
of operations for additional discussion on the Company's gross profit and gross margin).
Revenue
Recognition
The Company ships products to its customers predominantly by its internal fleet and to a lesser
extent by third party carriers. The Company recognizes revenues from product sales when title to the products is passed to the customer, which occurs at the point of destination for products shipped by the Company's internal fleet and at the
point of shipping for products shipped by third party carriers. Revenues related to services are recognized in the period the services are performed.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("FAS") 143,
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations
, was issued in June 2001. FAS 143, which is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2004, addresses financial accounting and reporting for
obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 143 in fiscal 2004 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
FAS 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
, was issued in August
2001. This standard establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of, including segments, and supercedes FAS 121,
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of,
and
Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 30,
Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and
Transactions
. Under FAS 144, goodwill is no longer allocated to long-lived assets, and, therefore, no longer subjected to testing for impairment as part of those assets, but tested separately as prescribed by FAS 142. In addition, FAS 144
broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include components of an entity rather than being limited to a segment of a business. The Company adopted FAS 144 as of January 26, 2002. The adoption had no impact on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
FAS 145,
Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections
, was issued in April 2002. This newly issued standard rescinds FAS 4,
Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt—an amendment of APB Opinion No. 30
, which required all gains and
losses from the extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria set forth by APB Opinion No. 30 will now be used to classify those gains and
losses. FAS 145 also amends FAS 13 to require that certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions be accounted for in the same manner as sale-leaseback transactions. In addition, FAS 145 amends other
existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. For the provisions related to the rescission of FAS 4, FAS 145 is effective for the Company
beginning in fiscal 2004. The remaining provisions of FAS 145 are effective for the Company in fiscal 2003. The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 145 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
FAS 146,
Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
, was issued in June 2002 and addresses
financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities. This standard requires recording costs associated with exit or disposal activities at their fair values when a liability has been incurred. Under the previous
guidance of Emerging Issues Task Force
7
Table of Contents
("EITF") Issue 94-3,
Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)
,
certain exit costs were recorded upon management's commitment to an exit plan. Adoption of this standard is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002 with earlier application encouraged. The Company
will adopt FAS 146 effective January 1, 2003 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus with respect to EITF Issue 02-16,
Accounting by a Customer (including a Reseller) for Cash Consideration Received from a Vendor
. This consensus
includes a presumption that cash consideration received by a customer from a vendor be treated as a reduction of cost of sales when recognized in the customer's income statement. In addition, if the vendor offers the customer a rebate or refund
of a specified amount of cash consideration that is payable only if the customer completes a specified level of purchases or remains a customer for a specified time period, the customer should recognize the rebate or refund as a reduction of cost of
sales based on a systematic and rational allocation of the cash consideration to each of the underlying transactions that results in progress by the customer toward earning the rebate or refund. As the Company already accounts for such consideration
as a reduction of cost of sales based on a systematic and rational allocation of the cash consideration to be received, this EITF has no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Note 2.
Goodwill
FAS 141,
Business Combinations,
and FAS 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
, were issued in June 2001. FAS 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using
the purchase method of accounting. FAS 141 also specifies the criteria which must be met in order for certain acquired intangible assets to be recorded separately from goodwill. Under FAS 142, goodwill is no longer amortized but rather tested for
impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. This new approach requires the use of valuation techniques and methodologies significantly different from the undiscounted cash
flow policy previously followed by the Company. The Company adopted FAS 142 effective January 26, 2002.
Within
the operating segments, the Company identified five reporting units as defined in FAS 142. The reporting units' goodwill was tested for impairment during the first quarter of fiscal 2003 based upon the expected present value of future cash
flows approach. As a result of this valuation process as well as the application of the remaining provisions of FAS 142, the Company concluded that there was no impairment of goodwill related to any of the Company's five reporting units.
Prior to the adoption of FAS 142, the Company amortized goodwill over estimated useful lives ranging from 15 to
40 years. Amortization of goodwill totaled $2,454 and $6,816 in the three and nine months ended October 26, 2001, respectively. Had the Company accounted for goodwill consistent with the provisions of FAS 142 in prior periods, the Company's net
income, basic earnings per share, and diluted earnings per share would have been affected as follows:

Business Combinations
On August 9, 2002, the Company acquired one hundred percent of the capital stock of Utiliserve Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Utiliserve"), a wholesale distributor of electrical
transmission and distribution products and services to the U.S. electric utility industry. As a result of the acquisition, the Company expects to be a leading provider of electrical transmission and distribution products and services in the U.S. It
also expects to expand the development of customer contracts as a result of Utiliserve's value-added services, including vendor-managed inventory, collaborative emergency response and job-site delivery. Through its supply chain management
solutions, Utiliserve is able to assume full responsibility for its customers' warehouse, work-flow, and inventory management needs.
The purchase price consisted of $33,422 cash paid for Utiliserve's net equity along with the assumption of $54,536 and $27,849 of long-term debt and other liabilities, respectively. The results of Utiliserve's
operations have been included in the Company's consolidated statements of income since August 9, 2002. The total cost of the acquisition was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their
respective fair values in accordance with FAS 141 (See Note 8). Goodwill, all of which is non-deductible for income tax purposes, and other intangible assets recorded in connection with the transaction totaled $53,308 and $8,560, respectively. The
goodwill was assigned entirely to the Electrical & Plumbing Group. The fair value assigned to intangible assets and the related weighted-average useful life was based on valuations prepared by an independent third party appraisal firm using
estimates and assumptions provided by management. The intangible assets are subject to amortization and consist mainly of customer contracts that are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average useful life of 14.6 years. The
estimated annual amortization expense related to these contracts for the next five fiscal years is expected to be $619. Pro forma results of operations reflecting this acquisition have not been presented because the results of operations of
Utiliserve are not material to the Company's consolidated operating results or assets in fiscal 2003 or 2002.

On July 31, 2002, the Company's line of credit agreement with
maximum borrowing capacity of $36,250 matured and was not renewed by the Company.
The Company has two short-term
lines of credit with borrowing capacities of $10,000 and $15,000, respectively. On July 25, 2002, both line of credit agreements were amended to extend the maturity dates to June 30, 2003. Concurrently with this amendment, the funds under the
$15,000 line of credit agreement were allocated to an operating lease agreement. On August 30, 2002, the operating lease agreement was amended to increase borrowing capacity from $15,000 to $18,666. Under the terms of the operating lease agreement,
the Company leases certain equipment, including vehicles, forklifts, and trailers from various companies with funds provided by the $18,666 line of credit. Monthly payments are made to the bank in accordance with the terms of each specific equipment
lease. There was no remaining availability under the operating lease agreement at November 1, 2002. There were no amounts outstanding at November 1, 2002 under the $10,000 line of credit agreement.
On June 7, 2002, the Company terminated its loan and master lease agreement (the "lease agreement") with Atlantic Financial
Group, Ltd. as lessor, and SunTrust Bank ("SunTrust"). Concurrently, the Company executed a new real estate term credit agreement (the "credit agreement") with SunTrust, and the outstanding principal balance of $1,694 under the
lease agreement was paid off and rolled into the credit agreement. Under the terms of the credit agreement, SunTrust agreed to fund up to a maximum of $25,000 for the acquisition and development of the Company's new corporate headquarters
building in Orlando, Florida. The credit agreement bears interest based on LIBOR plus applicable credit spreads (currently estimated to be 102.5 basis points) and matures July 31, 2005. At November 1, 2002, the total outstanding borrowings and
related assets of $11,242 under the credit agreement are recorded in long-term debt and construction in progress.

Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share includes the additional dilutive effect of the Company's potential common
shares, which includes certain employee and director stock options, unvested shares of restricted stock, and stock rights issued in connection with the bestroute.com acquisition in fiscal 2001. The following summarizes the incremental shares from
these potentially dilutive common shares, calculated using the treasury method, as included in the computation of diluted average shares outstanding:

would have been anti-dilutive. In the nine months ended November 1, 2002 and October 26, 2001, stock options and restricted stock totaling 540,020 and 394,373 shares, respectively, at an average exercise price of $34.37 and $29.17 per share,
respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Bestroute.com
On March 2, 2001, in connection with the closure of bestroute.com, one of the Company's e-commerce ventures, the Company entered into an agreement with the holders of 723,183 of the Company's stock rights
originally issued as consideration for the bestroute.com acquisition. This agreement canceled 347,541 of the stock rights and enabled the remaining stock rights to be redeemed for $7,273 in cash, all of which was paid by the end of the second
quarter of fiscal 2002.
In the nine months ended October 26, 2001, the Company recorded a loss before
income taxes of $2,776 for bestroute.com, including $1,542 in closure costs primarily related to employee severance pay and termination fees on certain agreements. The remaining $1,234 of the loss related to bestroute.com's loss from operations
through the date of its closure.
Note 7.
Branch Closures and Consolidations Activities
In the normal course of business, the Company's management continually evaluates the operations and performance of its individual branches and identifies branches for closure or consolidation.
Prior to January 25, 2002, the Company's management approved a plan to close and consolidate 43 branches, including bestroute.com as discussed in Note 6 above, because these branches did not strategically fit into the Company's core
businesses and/or they did not perform to management's expectations. During the first nine months of fiscal 2003, the Company announced the closure of an additional six branches

During the year ended January 25, 2002, the Company recorded
closure costs of $5,969, including cost of sales of $1,647, selling, general and administrative expenses of $3,664, and non-operating expenses of $658. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses were severance expense of $519, lease
expense of $1,610, professional expense of $650, and other expenses of $885.
The cost of sales amounts
represented an inventory write-down of products that will no longer be saleable following the closure of the branches. Severance expense included charges associated with payments owed to employees who have been or will be involuntarily terminated in
connection with the Company's branch closures. All terminations from branch closures in fiscal 2003 are expected to occur prior to January 31, 2003. The Company has accrued the estimated lease obligation from the planned closure date through
the end of the contractual lease term, net of any estimated sublease income. Other costs accrued for branches identified for closure were based on amounts due under agreements and/or based on estimates to terminate such agreements. Non-operating
expenses primarily related to write-downs of assets for which the Company projects the undiscounted cash flows to be less than the carrying amount of the related investment.
During the three months ended November 1, 2002, the Company reversed certain accruals related to prior branch closures mainly as a result of favorable settlements of lease
obligations for less than originally anticipated.

liabilities associated with the Company's closure activities:

Note 11.
Segment Information
During the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company completed the reorganization of its management structure, which started in fiscal 2002 after the new president/chief operating officer had been with
the Company for several months and a new strategic direction set. In connection with this reorganization, the Company initiated centralization programs in vendor relations, customer service, and support service areas, which are designed to leverage
these functions across the entire Company. The branch operations were then reorganized under the management of three group ("Group") presidents, as compared to being managed by five Group presidents in the prior fiscal year.
Based on the requirements of FAS 131,
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,
which aligns
financial reporting with management structure and responsibility, the Company combined the operating results of its previous Electrical and Plumbing/HVAC Groups, to create a single Electrical & Plumbing segment, which reports to one Group
president. The Company also combined the Water & Sewer and Building Material Groups, to create a single Water & Sewer/Building Materials segment, which reports to one Group president. The Industrial Group president was not affected by the
changes in management responsibility. These three Groups represent the Company's reportable segments. This is the basis management uses for making operating decisions and assessing performance, and is on a basis consistent with how business
activities are reported internally to management and the board of directors.
The Electrical & Plumbing Group
includes the Company's electrical and electric utility products, plumbing/HVAC products, and its international business. The Industrial Group includes the Company's industrial pipe, valves, and fittings products. The Water &
Sewer/Building Materials Group includes the Company's water and sewer products, building materials products and maintenance supplies, fire protection products, and concrete products. The "Corporate & Other" category includes
corporate level expenses not allocated to the Company's operating Groups, along with revenues and expenses for bestroute.com in fiscal 2002.
Intersegment sales are excluded from net sales presented for each Group. Income before income taxes includes certain corporate expense allocations for employee benefits, corporate capital charges, data
processing expenses, and property/casualty insurance. These allocations are based on consumption or at a standard rate determined by management.
In fiscal 2003, in connection with the reorganization of the Company's operations and re-centralization of certain administrative functions, the Company changed its method of allocating certain
costs (e.g. corporate capital charges, certain centralized support service expenses, data processing expenses, interest expense, etc.) to the Groups. As a result of these changes, prior year operating expenses totaling $1,911 and $2,658 for the
three and nine months ended October 26, 2001, respectively, have been reclassified from Corporate to the operating Groups.

HUGHES SUPPLY, INC.
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors which have affected the financial condition of the Company as of November 1, 2002 and the results of operations for the three and nine months
then ended. This information should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained herein and in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "Annual Report") for the
fiscal year ended January 25, 2002.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements set forth in this report constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Act of 1934, as amended, and are subject to the safe harbor created by such sections. When used in this report, the words "believe", "anticipate", "estimate", "expect", "may",
"will", "should", "plan", "intend", and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements
are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Actual results or events may differ significantly from those indicated in such forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors. These
factors include, but are not limited to, the strength of the construction market, general economic conditions, the Company's dependence on credit sales, fluctuating commodity prices, competition, unexpected product shortages, the Company's
reliance on key personnel, success in integrating acquired business units, and other factors that may be described in the Annual Report and/or other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company assumes no obligation to publicly
update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.
Material Changes in Results of
Operations
Fiscal Year
The fiscal year of the Company is a 52 or 53-week period ending on the last Friday in January. Fiscal year 2003 will be a 53-week period while fiscal year 2002 was a 52-week period. The nine months ended November 1, 2002 and
October 26, 2001 contained 40 and 39 weeks, respectively, while the third quarter of both fiscal periods contained 13 weeks.
Segment Information
During the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company completed the reorganization of
its management structure, which started in fiscal 2002 after the new president/chief operating officer had been with the Company for several months and a new strategic direction set. In connection with this reorganization, the Company initiated
centralization programs in vendor relations, customer service, and support service areas, which are designed to leverage these functions across the entire Company. The branch operations were then reorganized under the management of three group
("Group") presidents, as compared to being managed by five Group presidents in the prior fiscal year.
Based on the
requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("FAS") 131,
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,
which aligns financial reporting with management structure and responsibility, the Company
combined the operating results of its previous Electrical and Plumbing/HVAC Groups, to create a single Electrical & Plumbing segment, which reports to one Group president. The Company also combined the Water & Sewer and Building Materials
Groups, to create a single Water & Sewer/Building Materials segment, which reports to one Group president. The Industrial Group president was not affected by the
17
Table of Contents
changes in management responsibility. These three Groups represent the Company's reportable segments. This is the basis management uses for making operating decisions and assessing
performance, and is on a basis consistent with how business activities are reported internally to management and the board of directors.
The Electrical & Plumbing Group includes the Company's electrical and electric utility products, plumbing/HVAC products, and its international business. The Industrial Group includes the Company's industrial pipe,
valves, and fittings products. The Water & Sewer/Building Materials Group includes the Company's water and sewer products, building materials products and maintenance supplies, fire protection products, and concrete products. The
"Corporate & Other" category includes corporate level expenses not allocated to the Company's operating Groups, along with revenues and expenses for bestroute.com in fiscal 2002.
Comparable Branch Sales Methodology
The Company computes and discloses comparable branch sales, which exclude net sales related to (a) acquired and newly-opened branches until operating results are included in the consolidated financial statements for all periods in
the current and prior fiscal years, (b) branch combinations and splits unless within the same Group and physical location, and (c) closed and divested branches. All comparable branch sales amounts and percentages presented in this report exclude the
impact of the additional week of net sales included in the first quarter of fiscal 2003.
Net Sales
Net sales in the quarter ended November 1, 2002 increased $14,019 or 1.8% compared to the prior year's third quarter. Acquired and newly-opened
branches accounted for $51,487 of the increase in net sales. The majority of net sales for acquired and newly-opened branches related to the acquisition of Utiliserve Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Utiliserve") in the Electrical
& Plumbing Group with $47,919 of net sales. Comparable branch sales declined $17,338 or 2.4% largely as a result of a slow-down in the non-residential building and commercial construction sectors, including office buildings, hotels and motels,
and other commercial buildings. This slow-down created pricing pressure on newer projects. Comparable branch sales were also unfavorably impacted by a decline in industrial sales as certain projects have been postponed and/or cancelled until
economic conditions become more stable. The remaining difference of $20,130 is attributable to the closure and/or consolidation of under-performing branches, primarily in the Electrical & Plumbing and Water & Sewer/Building Materials Groups.
Net sales in the nine months ended November 1, 2002 decreased $2,792 or 0.1% compared to the prior year's first nine months.
Comparable branch sales declined $78,473 or 3.5% primarily due to a slow-down in the non-residential building and commercial construction sectors, which created pricing pressure on newer projects along with a decline in industrial sales as certain
projects have been postponed and/or cancelled. An additional $72,222 of the decrease is attributable to the closure and/or consolidation of under-performing branches. Partially offsetting these declines was an increase of $92,771 in net sales for
acquired and newly-opened branches combined with the addition of $55,132 in net sales from the additional week included in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. The majority of net sales for acquired and newly-opened branches related to the Electrical
& Plumbing and Water & Sewer/Building Materials Groups, which accounted for $55,476 and $35,530 of the increase in net sales.

The following sets forth factors impacting comparable branch sales for the Company's
operating Groups:
Electrical & Plumbing
Comparable branch sales decreased $12,525 or 3.6% and $51,595 or 4.8% in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2003, respectively, compared to the same periods in fiscal 2002. These
decreases were primarily attributable to an overall weakness in the electrical construction market, particularly in Florida, Georgia, and Texas. This Group supplied materials for several large infrastructure projects in fiscal 2002 with no
corresponding replacement projects in fiscal 2003. Comparable branch sales in the Texas market were unfavorably impacted due to inclement weather conditions. Net sales in the plumbing product line held relatively solid despite current market
conditions.
Industrial
Comparable branch sales decreased $4,523 or 5.5% and $19,950 or 7.7% in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2003, respectively, compared to the same periods in fiscal 2002. These decreases were primarily due to the
postponement and cancellation of certain power generation, gas utility, and petro-chemical plant construction and/or rehabilitation projects in late fiscal 2002 and early fiscal 2003. These projects were postponed and cancelled by the Company's
customers due to weakened economic conditions, which resulted in reduced plant utilization. The comparable branch sales decline was partially offset by increased sales prices for certain commodity-based products, including stainless steel and nickel
alloys. Nickel pricing increased approximately 10% compared to the prior year's first nine months.
Water & Sewer/Building
Materials
Comparable branch sales decreased slightly by $290 or 0.1% and $6,928 or 0.7% in the third quarter and first nine months
of fiscal 2003 compared to the same periods in fiscal 2002. These decreases were primarily driven by declines in the building materials and fire protection product lines due to a slow-down in the commercial and
19
Table of Contents
non-residential construction sectors. Net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 for the water and sewer product line were also unfavorably impacted by the change in commodity prices for
certain PVC products, which has since abated. Partially offsetting these declines was strong sales growth in the Company's maintenance supplies and water and sewer product lines earlier in the year.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit in the third quarter ended November 1, 2002 increased $5,528 or 3.0% compared to the prior year's third quarter. This increase was primarily driven by acquired and newly-opened branches, which accounted for $6,307
of the increase in gross profit. Comparable branch gross profit increased $3,195 or 1.9% primarily as a result of increases in vendor rebate programs, focused purchasing, and a change to a more proactive management and disposition of dead stock and
slower-moving inventories (the "Company's dead stock program"). Partially offsetting these increases was a decline of $3,974 related to the closure and/or consolidation of branches. Gross margin totaled 23.4% and 23.2% in the third
quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. The net improvement in gross margin was the result of various factors, both positive and negative. Gross margins increased due to increased vendor rebates (38 basis points), favorable results of the
Company's dead stock program (42 basis points), improved margins from the Industrial Group, primarily driven by nickel pricing (29 basis points), and improved margins from the 53 branches which are now on the "Hughes Unified"
operating system, primarily resulting from the implementation of centralized price matrices (37 basis points). Pricing pressures brought about by the intensified competition resulting from the slow-down in the non-residential and commercial
construction sectors as well as the impact of deflationary pressures on PVC and ductile pipe products combined to offset the increases which resulted in a net 20 basis point improvement in gross margin.
Gross profit in the nine months ended November 1, 2002 increased $11,345 or 2.1% compared to the prior year's first nine months. This increase was primarily
driven by acquired and newly-opened branches, which accounted for $14,396 of the increase in gross profit, combined with the addition of $12,995 in net sales from the additional week included in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. Comparable branch
gross profit decreased $3,047 or 0.6% primarily as a result of the slow-down in the commercial construction sector combined with deflationary pricing pressure on PVC and ductile pipe products. The remaining decrease of $12,999 related to the closure
and/or consolidation of branches. Gross margin totaled 23.2% and 22.7% in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. The net improvement in gross margin was the result of various factors, both positive and negative. Gross margins
increased due to increased vendor rebates (18 basis points), favorable results of the Company's dead stock program (30 basis points), improved margins from the Industrial Group, primarily driven by nickel pricing (23 basis points), and improved
margins from the 53 branches which are now on the "Hughes Unified" operating system, primarily resulting from the implementation of centralized price matrices (7 basis points). Pricing pressures brought about by the intensified competition
resulting from the slow-down in the non-residential and commercial construction sectors as well as the impact of deflationary pressures on PVC and ductile pipe products combined to offset the increases which resulted in a net 50 basis point
improvement in gross margin.

Electrical & Plumbing
The 30 basis point improvement in gross margin in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 was largely the result of the closure of certain under-performing branches in fiscal 2002 coupled with
the implementation of centralized price matrices on the new "Hughes Unified" operating system. During the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2002, the Company closed approximately 30 branches in the Electrical & Plumbing Group because
they did not strategically fit into the Company's core businesses and/or they did not perform to expectations. In fiscal 2003, three additional branches were closed. These branches generally yielded lower gross margins in relation to the other
branches. Gross margin was also favorably impacted by margin improvement programs initiated during fiscal 2002, including increases in vendor rebate programs, focused purchasing, and favorable results from the Company's dead stock program,
which was initiated in fiscal 2003. The newly acquired Utiliserve branches negatively impacted gross margins because of the lower margins generated on a higher proportion of direct shipments. Competitive pricing pressures in the commercial
construction sector also unfavorably impacted gross margins.
Industrial
The 370 and 250 basis point improvements in gross margin in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2003, respectively, were due to increased sales prices for certain
commodity-based products, including stainless steel and nickel alloys. The Industrial Group's gross margins have benefited from favorable nickel pricing. Nickel pricing increased approximately 10% compared to the prior year's first nine
months. Gross margin was also favorably impacted by increases in vendor rebate programs.
Water & Sewer/Building Materials
Gross margins in the Water & Sewer/Building Materials Group remained relatively flat on a comparable basis. The 10 basis point
reduction in gross margin in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 was primarily attributable to competition and deflationary pricing pressure on PVC and ductile pipe products. On a year-to-date basis, gross margin improved 10 basis points as a result of
the favorable impact of margin improvement programs initiated during fiscal 2002, including increases in vendor rebate programs, focused purchasing, and favorable results from the Company's dead stock program, which was initiated in fiscal
2003.

Three Months Ended November 1, 2002
As a percentage of net sales, personnel expenses totaled 12.0% and 11.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. The 20 basis point increase
was largely due to lower comparable branch sales levels and normal pay rate increases combined with higher employee health insurance expense and incentive compensation expense. The Company's workforce remained essentially flat with 7,239 and
7,278 employees as of October 26, 2001 and November 1, 2002, respectively. At November 1, 2002, this included 154 additional employees as a result of the acquisition of Utiliserve. Employee health insurance expense increased $1,356 as a result of
higher inpatient claims and continued increases in overall health care costs, including prescription drug costs. Personnel expenses were also impacted by an increase of $745 in incentive compensation expense due to increased profitability along with
compensation expense related to the 400,000 shares of restricted stock issued during fiscal 2002. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $688 in discretionary type expenses, including overtime and contract labor, as a result of the
cost reduction programs initiated in fiscal 2002.
Other selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales
totaled 5.7% and 5.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. This increase was primarily due to lower comparable branch sales levels and higher losses associated with the Company's casualty insurance program of $1,508 and
certain professional fees associated with consulting for various projects of $618. Other selling, general and administrative expenses totaling $426 related to the new "Hughes Unified" operating system currently being implemented by the
Company.
Depreciation and amortization decreased $2,538 or 33.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to the prior year's
third quarter. Substantially all of the decrease related to the amortization of goodwill, which was eliminated under FAS 142.
As a
percentage of net sales, the provision for doubtful accounts totaled 0.3% and 0.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. The overall decrease was related to additional provisions in fiscal 2002 for
22
Table of Contents
uncollectible receivables related to the Company's international business. Excluding the provisions related to the Company's international business, the provision for doubtful accounts
remained flat at 0.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Nine Months Ended November 1, 2002
As a percentage of net sales, personnel expenses remained relatively flat at 12.2% and 12.1% in the first nine months of fiscal 2003
and 2002, respectively. The additional week added $7,200 of personnel expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. Had the additional week been excluded from operating results, personnel expenses in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 would have
been $280,755, a $7,305 or 2.5% decrease from the prior year's first nine months. Personnel expenses were also favorably impacted by reductions of $3,021 in discretionary type expenses, including overtime and contract labor, as a result of the
cost reduction programs initiated in fiscal 2002. Severance expense also declined in fiscal 2003 and totaled $475 and $2,634 in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. Approximately $1,500 of severance expense in fiscal 2002
related to the Company's separation agreement with its former president, which occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Incentive compensation expense under stock plans of $1,878 and $540 in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and
2002, respectively, primarily related to the 400,000 shares of restricted stock issued to key executives during fiscal 2002 as previously discussed above.
Other selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales totaled 5.8% and 5.7% in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. The additional week added $1,216 of other selling, general
and administrative expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. Had the additional week been excluded from operating results, other selling, general and administrative expenses in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 would have been $137,164, a
$2,398 or 1.8% increase from the prior year's first nine months. This increase was primarily due to a non-recurring donation totaling $800 made by the Company in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 to the Hughes Supply, Inc. Foundation, a
not-for-profit charitable organization, combined with higher losses on the Company's casualty insurance program of $1,752.
Depreciation and amortization decreased $8,661 or 36.7% in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 compared to the prior year's first nine months. Of the total decrease, $6,816 related to the amortization of goodwill, which was
eliminated under FAS 142. The remaining decrease of $1,845 was primarily due to reduced capital spending in fiscal 2003 along with the elimination of depreciation expense related to the Company's forklift fleet and trailers. Certain of these
assets were sold and subsequently leased back by the Company in August 2001.
As a percentage of net sales, the provision for doubtful
accounts remained flat at 0.3% in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively.
The Company will continue to evaluate
operations and balance its cost structure in light of current economic conditions.
Interest and Other Income
Interest and other income totaled $2,497 and $2,192 in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. For the first nine months of fiscal
2003 and 2002, interest and other income totaled $8,006 and $8,687, respectively. Included in interest and other income were gains (losses) on sales of property and equipment which totaled $75 and ($86) in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002,
respectively, and $1,395 and $569 in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. The overall increases in gains on sales of property and equipment were due to the sale of certain land and building assets resulting from the closure
and consolidation of branches. Excluding gains on sales of property and equipment, interest and other income totaled $2,422 and $2,278 in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $6,611 and $8,118 in the first nine months of
fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease in the nine months ended November 1, 2002 was primarily attributable to non-recurring interest income of $2,055 in fiscal 2002 due to the collection in full of the $25,000 short-term note agreement.

Interest Expense
Interest expense
totaled $7,658 and $8,658 in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. In the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 2002, interest expense totaled $23,060 and $27,928, respectively. The decreases in fiscal 2003 were primarily due to a
reduction of average outstanding debt balances combined with lower interest rates in fiscal 2003. Borrowing levels were reduced in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2003 largely as a result of working capital improvements. In the third quarter
of fiscal 2003, the Company made additional borrowings under its revolving credit agreement in order to fund the acquisition of Utiliserve. As a result, total debt increased from $422,846 as of January 25, 2002 to $455,914 as of November 1, 2002.
Net Income
Net income totaled $19,775 and $17,742 in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. Diluted earnings per share was $0.84 and $0.76 in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. For the first nine months
of fiscal 2003, net income totaled $50,715 and $38,826, respectively. Diluted earnings per share was $2.14 and $1.66 in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. The factors impacting net income and diluted earnings per share have
been enumerated above.

The working capital increase of $24,581 was driven by higher levels of accounts receivable
and inventories partially offset by lower levels of cash and other current assets and higher accounts payable and other current liabilities levels. The higher accounts receivable, inventories, accounts payable, and other current liabilities balances
reflect the acquisition of Utiliserve, which added $23,035 of working capital at November 1, 2002, and the timing of payments, which represent a normal trend for the third quarter.
Operating Activities
In the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 2002, cash flows
provided by operating activities totaled $69,888 and $127,407, respectively. This decrease was primarily due to the addition of $61,713 of gross accounts receivable and $16,049 of inventories in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 compared with an
increase of $5,228 of gross accounts receivable and a decrease of $54,744 of inventories in the comparable period in fiscal 2002. Partially offsetting these changes were increases in net income and accounts payable. Accounts receivable increased as
a result of higher sales volumes. Overall, days sales outstanding for accounts receivable remained relatively flat in both periods. Inventories and accounts payable increased as a result of strategic purchases, primarily in the Industrial Group.

Table of Contents
Investing Activities
The Company's expenditures for property and equipment totaled $13,321 and $11,770 in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. Of the total $13,321 of capital expenditures,
$5,766 related to the new "Hughes Unified" operating system currently being implemented by the Company. Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $17,000 in fiscal 2003, of which approximately $7,000 to $8,000 relates to the
new "Hughes Unified" operating system. This excludes amounts for any business acquisitions, the Company's new corporate headquarters facility in Orlando, Florida, and a new warehouse in Miami, Florida.
Proceeds from the sale of property and equipment totaled $3,671 and $8,150 in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease was due
to the sale and subsequent lease-back of substantially all of the Company's forklift fleet and certain of the Company's trailers in August 2001, which generated cash proceeds of approximately $5,700. Partially offsetting this decrease were
proceeds from sales of certain land and building assets in fiscal 2003 resulting from the closure and consolidation of branches.
During
the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 2002, cash payments for business acquisitions totaled $33,422 and $31,809, respectively. In August 2002, the Company acquired one hundred percent of the capital stock of Utiliserve, a wholesale distributor of
electrical transmission and distribution products and services to the U.S. electric utility industry. The Company paid $33,422 for the equity value of Utiliserve and assumed $54,536 and $27,849 of long-term and other liabilities, respectively.
On March 2, 2001, in connection with the closure of bestroute.com, one of the Company's e-commerce ventures, the Company entered
into an agreement with the holders of 723,183 of the Company's stock rights originally issued as consideration for the bestroute.com acquisition. This agreement canceled 347,541 of the stock rights and enabled the remaining stock rights to be
redeemed for $7,273 in cash, all of which was paid by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2002.
In connection with the sale of the
assets of the Company's pool and spa business in January 2001, the Company received a portion of the consideration in the form of a $25,000 short-term note receivable. The note receivable bore interest at 7.0% and $22,000 was collected by the
end of the third quarter of fiscal 2002.
Financing Activities
Total debt was $455,914 and $422,846 as of November 1, 2002 and January 25, 2002, respectively, reflecting an increase of $33,068 or 7.8%. The increase in total debt was due to borrowings made under
the Company's revolving credit agreement to fund the acquisition of Utiliserve. Net borrowings (payments) on the Company's revolving credit agreement totaled $34,605 and $(89,717) in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 2002,
respectively. Scheduled principal payments on the Company's senior notes totaled $6,572 and $4,667 in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. Other principal payments, including debt of acquired entities, totaled $54,154
and $8,684 in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively.
On July 31, 2002, the Company's line of credit agreement
with maximum borrowing capacity of $36,250 matured and was not renewed by the Company.
The Company has two short-term lines of credit
with borrowing capacities of $10,000 and $15,000, respectively. On July 25, 2002, both line of credit agreements were amended to extend the maturity dates to June 30, 2003. Concurrently with this amendment, the funds under the $15,000 line of credit
agreement were allocated to an operating lease agreement. On August 30, 2002, the operating lease agreement was amended to increase borrowing capacity from $15,000 to $18,666. Under the terms of the operating lease agreement, the Company leases
certain equipment, including vehicles, forklifts, and trailers from various companies with funds provided by the $18,666 line of credit. Monthly payments are made to the bank in accordance with the terms of each specific equipment lease. There was
no remaining availability under the operating lease agreement at November 1, 2002. There were no amounts outstanding at November 1, 2002 under the $10,000 line of credit

Table of Contents
On June 7, 2002, the Company terminated its loan and master lease agreement (the "lease
agreement") with Atlantic Financial Group, Ltd. as lessor, and SunTrust Bank ("SunTrust"). Concurrently, the Company executed a new real estate term credit agreement (the "credit agreement") with SunTrust, and the
outstanding principal balance of $1,694 under the lease agreement was paid off and rolled into the credit agreement. Under the terms of the credit agreement, SunTrust agreed to fund up to a maximum of $25,000 for the acquisition and development of
the Company's new corporate headquarters building in Orlando, Florida. The credit agreement bears interest based on LIBOR plus applicable credit spreads (currently estimated to be 102.5 basis points) and matures July 31, 2005. At November
1, 2002, the total outstanding borrowings and related assets of $11,242 under the credit agreement are recorded in long-term debt and construction in progress.
Dividend payments remained flat and totaled $6,075 and $6,076 during the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively.
On March 15, 1999, the Company's board of directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 2,500,000 shares of its outstanding common stock to be used for general corporate purposes. Since March 15, 1999, the
Company has repurchased a total of 1,413,800 shares at an average price of $22.32 per share, of which 98,000 and 394,700 shares at an average price of $28.48 and $19.10 per share, respectively, were repurchased during the first nine months of fiscal
2003 and 2002, respectively. Continued repurchases of the Company's stock, if any, will be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing market prices.
As of November 1, 2002, the Company had $2,319 of cash and cash equivalents and $197,622 of unused borrowing capacity (subject to borrowing limitations under long-term debt covenants) to fund ongoing
operating requirements and anticipated capital expenditures. The Company believes it has sufficient borrowing capacity and cash on hand to take advantage of growth and business opportunities and to fund share repurchases. The Company expects to
continue to finance future expansion on a project-by-project basis through additional borrowing or through the issuance of stock.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
FAS 141,
Business Combinations,
and FAS 142,
Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets
, were issued in June 2001. FAS 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. FAS 141 also specifies the criteria which must be met in order for
certain acquired intangible assets to be recorded separately from goodwill. Under FAS 142, goodwill is no longer amortized but rather tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset
might be impaired. This new approach requires the use of valuation techniques and methodologies significantly different from the undiscounted cash flow policy previously followed by the Company. The Company adopted FAS 142 effective January 26,
2002.
Within the operating segments, the Company identified five reporting units as defined in FAS 142. The reporting units'
goodwill was tested for impairment during the first quarter of fiscal 2003 based upon the expected present value of future cash flows approach. As a result of this valuation process as well as the application of the remaining provisions of FAS 142,
the Company concluded that there was no impairment of goodwill related to any of the Company's five reporting units.

Table of Contents
Prior to the adoption of FAS 142, the Company amortized goodwill over estimated useful lives ranging
from 15 to 40 years. Amortization of goodwill totaled $2,454 and $6,816 in the three and nine months ended October 26, 2001, respectively. Had the Company accounted for goodwill consistent with the provisions of FAS 142 in prior periods, the
Company's net income, basic earnings per share, and diluted earnings per share would have been affected as follows:

FAS 143,
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations
, was issued in June 2001. FAS
143, which is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2004, addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The Company does
not expect the adoption of FAS 143 in fiscal 2004 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
FAS 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,
was issued in August 2001. This standard establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of, including segments, and supercedes FAS 121,
Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of,
and Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 30,
Reporting the Results of Operations – Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment
of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions
. Under FAS 144, goodwill is no longer allocated to long-lived assets, and, therefore, no longer subjected to testing for impairment as part of those
assets, but tested separately as prescribed by FAS 142. In addition, FAS 144 broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include components of an entity rather than being limited to a segment of a business. The Company adopted FAS 144 as
of January 26, 2002. The adoption had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
FAS 145,
Rescission of FASB
Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections
, was issued in April 2002. This newly issued standard rescinds FAS 4,
Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt – an amendment of
APB Opinion No. 30
, which required all gains and losses from the extinguishments of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria set forth by APB Opinion
No. 30 will now be used to classify those gains and losses. FAS 145 also amends FAS 13 to require that certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions be accounted for in the same manner as
sale-leaseback transactions. In addition, FAS 145 amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. For the provisions related to the
rescission of FAS 4, FAS 145 is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2004. The remaining provisions of FAS 145 are effective for the Company in fiscal 2003. The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 145 to have a material impact on
its consolidated financial statements.

FAS 146,
Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
, was issued in June
2002 and addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities. This standard requires recording costs associated with exit or disposal activities at their fair values when a liability has been incurred.
Under the previous guidance of Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue 94-3,
Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a
Restructuring)
, certain exit costs were recorded upon management's commitment to an exit plan. Adoption of this standard is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002 with earlier application
encouraged. The Company will adopt FAS 146 effective January 1, 2003 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus with respect to EITF Issue 02-16,
Accounting by a Customer (including a Reseller) for Cash Consideration Received from a Vendor
. This consensus
includes a presumption that cash consideration received by a customer from a vendor be treated as a reduction of cost of sales when recognized in the customer's income statement. In addition, if the vendor offers the customer a rebate or refund
of a specified amount of cash consideration that is payable only if the customer completes a specified level of purchases or remains a customer for a specified time period, the customer should recognize the rebate or refund as a reduction of cost of
sales based on a systematic and rational allocation of the cash consideration to each of the underlying transactions that results in progress by the customer toward earning the rebate or refund. As the Company already accounts for such consideration
as a reduction of cost of sales based on a systematic and rational allocation of the cash consideration to be received, this EITF has no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
The
Company's significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to the Annual Report. Certain of the Company's accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate
assumptions for calculating financial estimates. As with all judgments, they are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These judgments are based on historical experience, current economic trends in the industry, information provided by
customers and vendors, information available from other outside sources and management's estimates, as appropriate. The Company's critical accounting policies relating to the allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment of long-lived
assets, and self-insurance reserves are described in the Annual Report. As of November 1, 2002, there have been no material changes to any of the critical accounting policies with the exception of inventories as discussed below.
Inventories
Inventories are
carried at the lower of cost or market. The cost of substantially all inventories is determined by the average cost method. The Company evaluates its inventory value at the end of each quarter to ensure that it is carried at the lower of cost or
market. This evaluation includes an analysis of a branch's physical inventory results over the last two years and a review of potential dead stock based on historical product sales and forecasted sales. Periodically, the branch's perpetual
inventory records are adjusted to reflect permanent declines in market value. During the third quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company changed its estimate of potential dead stock as discussed below. This change resulted in inventory reserves of $7,773
at November 1, 2002 compared to $9,849 at January 25, 2002.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company initiated an inventory
management group to better manage potential dead stock and excess inventories. Their efforts have been strengthened over the course of fiscal 2003 through the use of improved inventory reporting tools, including the analysis of inventory on a
product by product basis. The combination of renewed emphasis on inventory management and the greater visibility from the new reporting tools led to the development of programs to dispose of dead stock on a product specific basis. These programs
include returning products to manufacturers, transferring products to other branches where the products are selling, reducing the sales prices of the products, and disposing of any remaining products that could
28

not be returned, transferred, or sold. As a result of this analysis and these programs, the Company reduced its estimate of inventory reserves
required for potential dead stock, which resulted in an adjusted reserve of $7,773 at November 1, 2002 compared to $9,849 at January 25, 2002. This adjustment favorably impacted gross margin in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2003
by 42 and 30 basis points, respectively (See
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
section of management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for additional discussion on the Company's gross profit and
gross margin).
Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Company is
exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on outstanding variable-rate debt and from changes in the prices of certain of its products that result from commodity price fluctuations.
Interest Rate Risk
At November 1, 2002, the Company had $99,419 of
outstanding variable-rate debt. Based upon a hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in interest rates from their November 1, 2002 levels, the market risk with respect to the Company's variable-rate debt would not be material. The Company manages
its interest rate risk by maintaining a balance between fixed and variable rate debt and by entering into interest rate swaps.
Commodity Price Risk
The Company is affected by price fluctuations in stainless steel, nickel alloy, copper,
aluminum, plastic, lumber, and other commodities. Such commodity price fluctuations have from time to time created cyclicality in the financial performance of the Company and could continue to do so in the future. The Company seeks to minimize the
effects of commodity price fluctuations through economies of purchasing and inventory management resulting in cost reductions and productivity improvements as well as price increases to maintain reasonable profit margins.
Item 4.    Controls and Procedures
Within 90 days before the filing date of this
quarterly report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods
specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
disclosure. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect such internal controls subsequent to the date that the Company's management conducted its evaluation.
