In addition to expansion through acquisition, the Registrant has
increased its geographic market area by opening new sales outlets in
Jacksonville, Kissimmee, Lady Lake, Ft. Myers, West Palm Beach, Naples,
Auburndale, Tampa and Perry, Florida, in Tifton, Hartsfield, Alpharetta
LaGrange and McDonough, Georgia, in Greensboro, North Carolina, in Dothan
and Mobile, Alabama, and in Anderson and Bluffton, South Carolina during
the past five years.




I-3
Each of the Registrant's sales outlets handles one or more of the
Registrant's product lines. Sales are made primarily to contractors,
subcontractors, electric utilities, municipalities and industrial accounts.
The Registrant employs approximately 350 outside sales representatives who
call on customers and who also work with architects, engineers and
manufacturers' representatives when major construction projects are
involved. For each outside sales representative, there are generally two
inside account executives who expedite orders, deliveries, quotations, and
requests for pricing. Most orders are taken by telephone, and materials
are delivered by Registrant-owned trucks to the customer's office or job
site.

The Registrant's wholesale outlets are sales and distribution points
for the products sold by the Registrant. Each sales outlet operates as a
separate profit center with its own sales force. Each is managed by its
own manager, who is directly responsible for customer relations, the hiring
and promotion of personnel, purchasing, sales, the maintenance of adequate
inventory levels and cost control for the particular sales outlet.

Day to day operations of the sales outlets are the responsibility of
the respective managers, but major decisions affecting Registrant policy,
facilities or capital outlay are reviewed by the Registrant's executive
officers. Purchasing agents generally make use of a computerized perpetual
inventory system to monitor stock levels, while central distribution
centers in Orlando, Florida, College Park, Georgia and Monroe, North
Carolina provide purchasing and distribution assistance. The Registrant's
general accounting, customer billing, inventory, and accounts payable
systems are for the most part processed at the Registrant's central
computer facility in Orlando, Florida.

More than 45,000 wholesale customers are presently served by the
Registrant, and no single customer accounts for more than 1% of total sales
annually. Orders for larger construction projects normally require long-
term delivery schedules throughout the period of construction, which in
some cases may continue for several years. The substantial majority of
customer orders are shipped out of inventory on hand. Some items are
manufactured to customer specifications and require special ordering.
Additionally, some large volume orders are shipped directly to the customer
from the manufacturer.

Sources of Supply

All products sold by the Registrant are purchased from other
manufacturers and suppliers. The Registrant regularly purchases from over
5,000 manufacturers and suppliers, no single one of which accounted for
more than 7% of the Registrant's total purchases during the fiscal year
ended January 27, 1995.



I-4
Inventories

The Registrant is a wholesale distributor of construction materials,
which maintains significant inventories to meet rapid delivery requirements
and to assure itself of a continuous allotment of goods from suppliers. As
of January 27, 1995, inventories constituted approximately 36% of the
Registrant's total assets.

Competition

There is strong competition throughout the marketing areas served by
the Registrant in each product line the Registrant distributes. The main
sources of competition are other wholesalers, manufacturers who sell
certain lines directly to contractors and, to a limited extent, retailers
in the markets for plumbing, electrical fixtures and supplies, building
materials, pool supplies and contractor's tools. Management believes that
the Registrant, on the basis of its total sales, is the largest wholesale
distributor of its range of products in the Southeast. The principal
competitive factors in the Registrant's business are availability of
material, technical product knowledge as to application and usage, advisory
and other service capabilities and pricing of products.

Compliance with Environmental Protection Provisions

In fiscal year ended January 31, 1992, the Registrant accrued
approximately $675,000 as an operating expense for estimated future costs
of removing underground fuel storage tanks and environmental clean-up costs
to comply with federal, state and local laws and regulations for the
protection of the environment. There have been no significant expenses
since fiscal year ended January 31, 1992 and the Registrant does not expect
any additional material expenses in future years associated with fuel
storage tanks. Information with respect to this matter is also included in
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations of the Annual Report to shareholders for the fiscal year ended
January 27, 1995, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this report and
the cited portion of which is incorporated herein by reference.

Employees

The Registrant had a total of approximately 2,800 employees as of
January 27, 1995, consisting of approximately 20 executives, 450 managers,
800 sales personnel and 1,530 other employees, including truck drivers,
warehouse personnel, office and clerical workers. The Registrant's work
force has increased by approximately 19% compared to the prior year in
response to increased sales volume as well as the result of business
acquisitions during the current year.

(d) Financial Information about Foreign and Domestic Operations and
Export Sales

The Registrant does not engage in material operations or derive a
material portion of its sales or revenues from customers in foreign
countries.

I-5
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES



The Registrant leases approximately 27,000 square feet of an office
building in Orlando, Florida for its headquarters. In addition, the
Registrant owns or leases 179 sales outlets in 13 states. The typical
sales outlet consists of a combined office and warehouse facility ranging
in size from 3,000 to 40,000 square feet, with a paved parking and storage
area. The Registrant also operates a computer center, three central
distribution warehouses, and a garage and trucking terminal.

Additional information regarding owned and leased properties of the
Registrant is set forth as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and in Note 5 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Annual Report to

number of independent accounting firms including, among others,

disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of
Coopers & Lybrand would have caused them to make
reference thereto in their report on the financial
statements for such years.

1994, there have been no reportable events as defined
in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



Shareholders and Board of Directors
Hughes Supply, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Hughes
Supply, Inc. and subsidiaries as of January 28, 1994, and the related
consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for
the fiscal years ended January 28, 1994 and January 29, 1993. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Hughes
Supply, Inc. and subsidiaries as of January 28, 1994, and the consolidated
results of their operations and their cash flows for the fiscal years ended
January 28, 1994 and January 29, 1993, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
