NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — JUNE 30, 2002 (Unaudited)

Industrial Distribution Group, Inc. (“IDG” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, was formed on February 12, 1997 to create a nationwide supplier of cost-effective, Flexible Procurement Solutions™ for manufacturers and other users of maintenance, repair, operating, and production (“MROP”) products. The Company conducts business in 34 states and two foreign countries, providing product expertise in the procurement and application of MROP products to a wide range of industries.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements are not included herein. The Company believes all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature.

These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001.

2. NEWLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets,” effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 also includes guidance on the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets arising from business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 prohibits the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Under the new rules, goodwill (and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives) will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statement. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their remaining useful lives.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002. The Company tested goodwill for impairment using the two-step process prescribed in SFAS No. 142. The first step was a screen for potential impairment, while the second step measured the amount of the impairment, if any. Based on an independent appraisal firm’s valuation of the enterprise fair value using a combination of discounted cash flows, market multiples, and comparable transactions, which reflect changes in certain assumptions since the date of the acquisitions, and the identification of qualifying intangibles, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $50,347,000 as a cumulative effect of accounting change in the first quarter of 2002 associated with the adoption of this Statement. The Company recorded a full valuation reserve of $3,148,000 against the tax benefit resulting from this charge. The application of the nonamortization provisions of SFAS No. 142 resulted in a reduction of the net loss of approximately $322,000 or $0.04 per fully diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and $644,000 or $0.07 per fully diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

The write-off of goodwill results from the use of a combination of fair value methods in assessment of fair value as required by SFAS No. 142. According to SFAS No. 142, the goodwill impairment loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill.

A reconciliation of net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per common share, adjusted to exclude goodwill amortization expense, net of tax, for the period prior to adoption and the cumulative effect of accounting change recognized in the current period, is as follows (in thousands, except share data):

Table of Contents

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of”, and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations” for a disposal of a segment of a business. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, with earlier application encouraged. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002 and there was no significant impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations as a result of its adoption.

3. CREDIT FACILITY

In December 2000, the Company entered into a $100,000,000 revolving credit facility with a five financial institution syndicate. The facility expires on March 31, 2004 and has a first security interest in the assets of the Company. The agreement provides that the facility may be used for operations and acquisitions, and provides $5,000,000 for swinglines and $10,000,000 for letters of credit. Amounts outstanding under the credit facility bear interest at either the lead bank’s corporate rate or LIBOR, as selected by the Company from time to time, plus applicable margins. This rate was 5.3% and 6.3% at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. There is an annual commitment fee on the unused portion of the facility equal to between 25 and 37.5 basis points of the average daily unused portion of the aggregate commitment depending on the indebtedness to adjusted EBITDA ratio, as defined.

The amounts outstanding under the facility at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 were $38,550,000 and $39,600,000, respectively, which have been classified as long-term liabilities. Additionally, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of $2,684,000 and $2,404,000 under the facility at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. The revolving credit facility contains various covenants pertaining to the maintenance of certain financial ratios. These covenants include requirements for interest coverage, net worth, and capital expenditures, among other restrictions. The covenants also prohibit the payment of cash dividends. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001.

4. CAPITAL STOCK

During the second quarter of 2002, the Company issued 40,163 shares of its common stock through its employee stock purchase plan.

Table of Contents

In May 2002, the Company issued 70,000 shares of its common stock to several executives. These shares vest after three years in May 2005.

Options are to be included in the computation of diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) where the options’ exercise price is less than the average market price of the common shares during the period. The number of options outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2002 had a dilutive effect of 198,728 shares to the weighted average common shares outstanding. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, the options outstanding had a dilutive effect of 122,207 shares to the weighted average common shares outstanding. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 options outstanding had no dilutive effect on the weighted average common shares outstanding. During the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, options where the exercise price exceeded the average market price of the common shares totaled 611,896 and 1,035,085, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, options where the exercise price exceeded the average market price of the common shares totaled 925,865 and 1,035,085, respectively.

5. DEFERRED TAXES

The Company’s net deferred tax assets totaled approximately $7,365,000 and $7,487,000 at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively, and are subject to periodic recoverability assessments. The realization of deferred tax assets is principally dependent upon the Company’s ability to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions. Factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are the Company’s forecast of future taxable income, which is based upon estimates and assumptions, and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets. On the basis of the Company’s operating results and projections for continuing improvement, management believes it is more likely than not that future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax assets. The Company evaluates the realizability and appropriateness of its deferred tax assets and liabilities quarterly and assesses the need for any valuation allowance against such deferred tax assets. In connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 142, future tax benefits associated with deductible goodwill amortization for tax purposes were fully reserved with a valuation allowance totaling $3,148,000. The valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets was $3,148,000 and $0 as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is subject to various claims and legal actions which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion is based upon our historical financial results. In this discussion, most percentages and dollar amounts have been rounded to aid presentation; as a result, all such figures are approximations. References to such approximations have generally been omitted.

This discussion may contain certain forward-looking statements concerning our operations, performance, and financial condition, including, in particular, the likelihood of our success in developing and expanding our business. These statements are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to, improvement of operating efficiencies, the availability of working capital, our ability to grow internally through expansion of services and customer bases, our ability to reduce overhead, the continuation of key supplier relationships, our ability to compete successfully in the highly competitive and diverse MROP market, our ability to maintain key personnel, the availability of key personnel for employment by us, and other factors discussed in more detail under “Item 1-Business” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2001.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 AND 2001

The following table sets forth certain historical financial data for IDG and shows such data as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

Net sales decreased $3.9 million or 3.0% from $131.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $127.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Our commercial aerospace customers, including second and third-tier suppliers, experienced significant production declines during the quarter. Customers in capital goods industries were also impacted by the continued softness in the economy. Sales in the northwest region were particularly affected because of our focus on customers in these industries. The declines noted above were partially offset by improved economic conditions in the southern region, increased sales to automotive customers, and an increase in Flexible Procurement Solutions™ (“FPS”) sales. Despite current economic conditions, revenues from our FPS customers continue to grow through the addition and development of new customer accounts. For the three months ended June 30, 2002, our FPS revenues grew $5.9 million or 10.5% to $61.9 million as compared to $56.0 million for the same period in the prior year. During the second quarter of 2002 we added four new integrated supply customers.

Cost of sales decreased $2.4 million or 2.4% from $101.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $99.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales increased slightly from 77.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to 78.0% in 2002. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of sales is due to $0.4 million expensed during the second quarter of 2002 to increase inventory reserves as compared to $37,000 in the prior year. Additionally, lower amounts of rebate income were earned in 2002, which resulted from lower inventory purchasing levels during the second quarter of 2002 as compared to 2001.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $2.8 million or 9.7% from $29.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $26.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. As a percentage of net sales, total selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased from 22.3% in 2001 to 20.8% in 2002. The decrease was primarily due to reduced salaries and benefits of approximately $2.0 million related to reductions in headcount as well as lower variable selling expenses associated with the lower sales activity. Additionally, we expensed $0.5 million to increase accounts receivable reserves during the second quarter of 2002 as compared to $0.3 million in the prior year. We also incurred a charge of $0.2 million, in the second quarter of 2002, to recognize the economic impact of a facility lease restructuring. The adoption of SFAS No. 142 eliminated the amortization expense associated with goodwill during the current year, which was approximately $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2001.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 AND 2001

The following table sets forth certain historical financial data for IDG and shows such data as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

Table of Contents

Net sales decreased $20.1 million or 7.5% from $267.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $247.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, our customers in the commercial aerospace industry, and consequently second and third-tier suppliers to those customers, were adversely affected by production curtailments, layoffs, and plant closures as a result of the softness in the economy. In the first quarter of 2002, revenues from customers in the automotive industry, as well as suppliers to major automotive manufacturers, experienced production declines that were driven by the adverse economic conditions. However, during the second quarter of 2002 these automotive related customers showed marked improvement. These declines were partially offset by revenues to our FPS customers which grew $6.4 million or 5.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 to $118.4 million as compared to $112.0 million for the same period in the prior year due primarily to new customer accounts. In 2002 we have added 15 new integrated supply customers.

Cost of sales decreased $14.6 million or 7.0% from $207.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $193.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales increased slightly from 77.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to 78.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of sales is due to higher amounts paid for freight-in and increased inventory reserves for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, $0.6 million was expensed related to inventory reserves as compared to $77,000 in the prior year.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $7.3 million or 12.3% from $59.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $51.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. As a percentage of net sales, total selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased from 22.1% in 2001 to 21.0% in 2002. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses is primarily due to decreased salaries and benefits of approximately $4.8 million related to headcount reductions and the implementation of a temporary company-wide furlough program. As compared to the first six months of 2001, we saw a reduction in variable selling expenses of approximately $1.0 million associated with the lower sales activity. Additionally, we have expensed $0.9 million to increase accounts receivable reserves in 2002 as compared to $0.3 million in the prior year. Also, in 2002 we incurred a charge of $0.2 million to recognize the economic impact of a facility lease restructuring. The adoption of SFAS No. 142 eliminated the amortization expense associated with goodwill during the current year, which was approximately $0.7 million in the first six months of 2001.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Capital Availability and Requirements

At June 30, 2002, we had $0.9 million in cash, an additional $77.7 million of working capital, and availability of $58.8 million under the master agreement of our $100 million revolving Credit Facility. Based upon our current asset base and outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility, we have an additional borrowing capacity of $21.3 million. We believe our liquidity position is sufficient to enable us to fund our current operations and to fund anticipated internal expansion and acquisitions for the next year.

The principal financial covenants under our Credit Facility require a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0:1 and capital expenditures of no more than $6.5 million for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2002. Our fixed charge coverage ratio was 3.55:1 and our capital expenditures were $0.3 million for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2002. Additionally, our covenants require a minimum tangible net worth of $42.4 million and, at June 30, 2002 our tangible net worth was $51.1 million.

Analysis of Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 was $3.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The cash flow generated in 2002 was principally due to the reduction of inventory levels and the increase in accounts payable and book overdrafts. Offsetting these amounts was an increase in accounts receivable. In 2001, operating cash flow was principally generated by the management of accounts payable and inventory and was partially offset by the change in book overdrafts and an increase in accounts receivable.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 was $0.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The difference is mainly due to a reduction in cash used to fund capital expenditures and deposits.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 was $3.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively. We made payments of $1.3 million in 2002 versus $0.8 million in 2001 to pay down obligations on our credit facility and other long-term debt.

CERTAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Evaluation of the Recovery of Goodwill

Goodwill, net of accumulated amortization, from prior business combinations amounted to approximately $50.3 million at January 1, 2002. We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” (“Statement 142”) on January 1, 2002. Statement 142 requires companies to discontinue the amortization of goodwill and to apply an impairment only approach. This new approach requires the use of valuation techniques and methodologies significantly different than the present undiscounted cash flow policy that we previously followed.

As a result of the adoption of Statement 142, we recorded a non-cash charge of approximately $50.3 million as a cumulative effect of accounting change in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Application of the nonamortization provisions of Statement 142 will result in an increase in net income of $1.3 million ($0.15 per share) per year. We tested goodwill for impairment using the two-step process prescribed in Statement 142. The first step was a screen for potential impairment, while the second step measured the amount of the impairment, if any. Our assessment was based on an independent appraisal firm’s valuation of the enterprise fair value using a combination of discounted cash flows, market multiples, and comparable transactions which reflect changes in certain assumptions since the date of the acquisitions, and the identification of qualifying intangibles.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts — Methodology

An allowance for uncollectible accounts has been established based on our collection experience and an assessment of the collectibility of specific accounts. We evaluate the collectibility of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. Initially, we estimate an allowance for doubtful accounts as a percentage of accounts receivable based on historical collections experience. This initial estimate is periodically adjusted when we become aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations (e.g., bankruptcy filing) or as a result of changes in the overall aging of accounts receivable. We do not believe our estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts is likely to be adversely affected by any individual customer, since we have no individually significant customers. As of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 our allowance for doubtful accounts was $2.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

Inventories – Slow Moving and Obsolescence

In connection with certain contracts, we maintain certain special inventories for specific customers’ needs. In certain contracts, the customers are required to purchase the special inventory at the point in time when the inventory reaches a certain age. However, for other customer relationships and inventories, we are not protected by our customer from the risk of inventory loss. In such cases, we rely on available return privileges with vendors, if any. Therefore, in determining the net realizable value of inventories, we identify slow moving or obsolete inventories that (1) we are not protected by our customer agreements from risk of loss, and (2) are not eligible for return under various vendor return programs. Based upon these factors, we estimate the net realizable value of inventories and record any necessary adjustments as a charge to cost of sales. If our inventory return privileges were discontinued in the future, or if customers were unable to honor the provisions of certain contracts which protect us from inventory losses, our risk of loss associated with obsolete or slowing moving inventories would increase. Our reserve for obsolete and slowing moving inventories was approximately $7.4 million at both June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 or 11.3% and 10.6% of gross inventories, respectively.

Deferred Income Tax Assets

We currently have net deferred tax assets totaling approximately $7.4 million at June 30, 2002, which are subject to periodic recoverability assessments. The realization of our deferred tax assets is principally dependent upon our being able to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are our forecast of future taxable income, which is based upon estimates and assumptions, and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets. On the basis of our operating results and projections for continuing improvement, we believe it is more likely than not that our future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax assets. If these estimates and related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record an additional valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets resulting in additional income tax expense in our consolidated statement of operations. We evaluate the realizability and appropriateness of our deferred tax assets and liabilities quarterly and assess the need for any valuation allowance against such deferred tax assets. In connection with the adoption of Statement 142, future tax benefits associated with deductible goodwill amortization for tax purposes were fully reserved with a valuation allowance totaling $3.1 million.
