HANDY HARDWARE WHOLESALE, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
---------------------------------------

NOTE 1 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ----------------------------

(1) Description of Business:
-----------------------

Handy Hardware Wholesale, Inc., ("Handy"), was incorporated as a Texas
corporation on January 6, 1961. Our principal executive offices and
warehouse are located at 8300 Tewantin Drive, Houston, Texas 77061. We
are owned entirely by our member-dealers and former member-dealers.

We sell to our member-dealers products primarily for retail hardware,
lumber and home center stores. In addition, we offer advertising and
other services to member-dealers. We wholesale hardware to our
member-dealers in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi,
Arkansas, Florida, Colorado, New Mexico, Tennessee, Mexico and Belize.

(2) General Information:
-------------------

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have
been prepared by us. The financial statements reflect all adjustments,
which were all of a recurring nature, and which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). We believe that the
disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the
notes thereto included in the latest Form 10-K Annual Report.

(3) Cash:
----

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, we consider all highly
liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.

(4) Inventories:
-----------

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market method,
determined by the first in, first out method, with proper adjustment
having been made for any old or obsolete merchandise.

(5) Earnings Per Share:
------------------

Net earnings per common share (Class A and Class B combined) are based
on the weighted average number of shares outstanding in each period
after giving effect to the stock issued, stock subscribed, accrued
dividends on Preferred Stock, and treasury stock as set forth by
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15 as follows:




Calculation of Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,

HANDY HARDWARE WHOLESALE, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
---------------------------------------------------

(6) Revenue Recognition:
-------------------

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, revenues
and expenses are accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting.
Under this method of accounting, revenues and receivables are
recognized when merchandise is shipped or services are rendered, and
expenses are recognized when the liability is incurred.

(7) Accounting for Dividends on Preferred Stock:
-------------------------------------------

We pay dividends on Preferred Stock during the first quarter of each
fiscal year. Only holders of Preferred Stock on the record date for
the payment of the dividend are entitled to receive dividends.
Dividends are prorated for the portion of the twelve-month period
ending January 31, during which the Preferred Stock was held.

Because we are unable to anticipate the amount of the Preferred Stock
dividends to be paid in the first quarter of 2006, we do not accrue a
liability for the payment of those dividends on our balance sheet. To
more properly reflect net earnings, however, on the Condensed
Statement of Earnings included herein, we show an estimated portion of
the annual dividends to be paid in the first quarter of 2006 based on
one-fourth ($154,928) of the annual dividends paid in the first
quarter of 2005.

When dividends on Preferred Stock are actually paid, there is a
reduction of retained earnings. Retained earnings on the Condensed
Balance Sheet for the three months ended March 31, 2005 contained
herein, therefore, are net of dividends actually paid during the first
quarter of 2005 in the amount of $619,712.

NOTE 3 - NOTES RECEIVABLE
- -------------------------

Notes receivable reflect amounts due to us from our member-dealers under
deferred payment agreements and one installment sale agreement.

Under the deferred agreement, we supply member-dealers with an initial order of
General Electric Lamps. The payment for this order is deferred so long as the
member-dealer continues to purchase General Electric lamps through us. If a
member-dealer ceases to purchase lamp inventory or sells or closes his business,
then General Electric invoices us for the member-dealer's initial order and the
member-dealer's note becomes immediately due and payable in full to us.

Under the installment sale agreements, we sell member-dealers computer hardware,
the purchase price of which is due and payable by member-dealers to us in
thirty-six monthly installments of principal and interest.

Notes Receivable are classified as follows:

is paid on the outstanding balance of the notes during the first four years. In
the fifth year, both interest and principal are paid. Interest rates range from

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

OVERVIEW
- --------
For the first three months of 2005, we continued to widen our offering of
products in order to give member-dealers more variety in what they can offer to
their customers. In addition, we also explored expanding our presence
geographically to increase the number of member-dealers as a means of continuing
the growth of net sales. Further, March, 2005 was the largest sales month in the
history of Handy. Overall, for the first three months of 2005, we strove to
maintain our steady growth while continuing to meet our goals of providing
quality goods to our member-dealers.

MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- -----------------------------------------

NET SALES. Net sales in the first quarter of 2005 increased 5.9%
($3,077,008) from net sales during the same period in 2004 while increasing 6.7%
($3,300,025) between the respective first quarters of 2003 and 2004.

Net sales growth during the first quarter of 2005 was mainly attributable
to strong increases in both regular sales and sales generated from our spring
trade show, as well as sales from other marketing initiatives which helped
member-dealers maintain their competitiveness in their selling territories.

NET MATERIAL COSTS. Net material costs for the first quarter of 2005 were
$49,853,237 versus $46,565,586 for the same period in 2004. This increase in net
material costs of 7.1 percent, was larger than the 5.9 percent increase in net
sales. Net material costs as a percentage of net sales were 90.1 percent in the
first quarter of 2005 as compared to 89.1 percent for the same period in 2004.
This 1.0% increase was primarily the result of a timing difference of direct
shipment orders generated from our spring trade show. Direct shipments, which
are sold at cost with no markup, increased by $423,602 from the first quarter of
2004 to the first quarter in 2005. In addition, warehouse sales generated from
our spring trade show, which are sold at lower margins, increased $1,205,898,
which is an increase of 21.5%.

PAYROLL COSTS. Payroll costs for the first quarter of 2005 increased by
$102,112 (4.2%) over those costs for the same 2004 period. This increase was due
to salary increases needed to attract or retain high-quality employees. Payroll
costs as a percentage of total expenses and of net sales remained fairly
constant. Payroll costs for the first quarter of 2005 constituted 4.5 percent of
total expenses and 4.6 percent of net sales, compared to 4.6 percent of total
expenses and 4.7 percent of net sales for the first quarter of 2004. The
relative stability in payroll costs has been a result of a continuing effort to
maintain employee productivity.

OTHER OPERATING COSTS. During the first quarter of 2005, other operating
costs increased by $174,212 (4.1%), a moderate increase when compared to the
level of the same costs in the first quarter of 2004. The amount spent for other
operating costs for the first quarter of 2005 totaled $4,443,912(8.0% of net
sales and 7.8% of total expenses) as compared to $4,269,700 spent for other
operating costs during the same period of 2004 (8.2% of net sales and 8.0% of
total expenses).

The increase in other operating costs in the first quarter of 2005 can be fully
attributed to an increase in warehouse and delivery expense ($392,729), most
notably fuel costs, contract driver costs and tractor rental equipment costs
($276,089), which together accounted for 70.1% of the increase, offset by a
decrease in the accrual for year-end employee bonuses ($180,000).

NET EARNINGS AND EARNINGS PER SHARE
- -----------------------------------

NET EARNINGS - FIRST QUARTER. Net sales for the first quarter of 2005
increased by $3,077,008 and net material costs for the same period increased
$3,287,651, from levels of net sales and net material costs in the first quarter
of 2004, resulting in a decrease in gross margin of $210,643. With a decrease in
gross margin, a decrease in sundry income of $251,882, as well as an increase in
other operating costs of $174,212, and an increase of $102,112 in payroll costs,
after tax net earnings decreased by $491,804 (83.5%), from $589,132 in the first
quarter of 2004 to $97,328 for the same 2005 period. After tax net earnings,
combined with estimated dividends on preferred stock and other comprehensive
loss, resulted in a total comprehensive loss for 2005 of $59,836, compared to
total comprehensive earnings of $448,487 for the same 2004 period, for an
overall decrease of $508,323.

EARNINGS PER SHARE. In the first quarter of 2005, net earnings per share
decreased by $5.08, from earnings of $4.52 for the 2004 period to a loss of
$0.56 for the 2005 period. The decrease in 2005 is due to the factors previously
discussed, as well as estimated dividends accrued in the first quarter of 2005
representing a larger percentage of 2005 net earnings than estimated dividends
accrued in the first quarter of 2004 (2005-159.2% versus 2004-24.3%).

SEASONALITY. Our quarterly net earnings generally vary based on the timing
of events which affect our sales. Traditionally, our first and third quarter
earnings are negatively affected by the increased level of direct sales (with no
markup) during our semiannual trade show which is always held in those quarters.
Generally, there is an overall increase in sales during the trade show which
typically offsets the effect of increased direct sales with no markup.
Additionally, net earnings per quarter may vary substantially from year to year
due to the timing difference in the receipt of discounts, rebates and
miscellaneous income, as well as changes in the weather conditions and the
economic conditions in our selling territories. For example, during the first
quarter of 2005, the cumulative effect of significant increases in fuel prices
on the cost of deliveries and on the cost of inventory products caused a
dramatic decrease in net earnings for that period.

Trends
------

As reflected in our numbers for the first three months of 2005, our fuel
and delivery expenses have steadily increased. We expect that increased fuel and
delivery costs will continue for the foreseeable future, as part of a general
nationwide trend as gasoline and diesel prices remain high due to domestic and
world market conditions as well as Department of Transportation regulations.

MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
- ---------------------------------------

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY. During the period ending March 31, 2005,
we maintained our financial condition and ability to generate adequate amounts
of cash while continuing to make investments in inventory, warehouse and
computer equipment, software, and office furniture and equipment. However, net
cash provided by our operating activities may vary substantially from year to
year. These variations result from (i) the timing of promotional activities such
as our spring trade show, (ii) payment terms available to us from our suppliers,
(iii) payment terms we offer our member-dealers, and (iv) the state of the
regional economy in our selling territories.

During the first quarter of 2005 our cash and cash equivalents increased
$312,121 as compared to cash generated in the first quarter of 2004, versus a
decrease of $1,872,026 when comparing the same 2004 period to that of 2003.
During the first three months of 2005, we generated cash flow from operating
activities of $3,454,205, as compared to $2,320,830 in the first quarter of
2004. This increase in cash flow in the 2005 period was principally attributable
to a significant increase in accounts payable, which increased 37.7% compared to
the same 2004 period and a smaller increase in inventory in the 2005 period
offset by a larger increase in accounts receivable during the first quarter of
2005 than during the first quarter of 2004.

Accounts payable increased $15,986,499 during the first three months of 2005 as
compared to a smaller increase of $11,608,438 during the same period in 2004.
The difference in the increase during these two periods was due primarily to
variations in extended payment terms offered to us by suppliers, as well as the
timing of our spring trade show which was held later in the first quarter of
2005 than the 2004 trade show.

We had approximately 43,290 stockkeeping units in inventory in the period ending
March 31, 2005, which were maintained as a result of management's strategy to
increase the breadth and depth of inventory to better meet the needs of our
member-dealers. The increase in inventory of $1,804,014 in the first three
months of 2005, was lower (21.1%) than the increase in inventory of $2,287,040
in the same period in 2004, due to the fact that we had more accurately
estimated the level of warehouse inventory needed to meet our member-dealers'
inventory requirements.

In the first three months of 2005 and 2004, accounts receivable increased
$11,070,335 and $7,545,458, respectively. For both periods, this variation in
levels of accounts receivable was mainly attributable to differences in extended
payment terms offered to member-dealers at the spring trade shows.

For the period ended March 31, 2005, net earnings plus other comprehensive loss
were $95,091, compared to net earnings plus other comprehensive earnings of
$591,668 for the same 2004 period. This 84% decrease was mainly attributable to
the decrease in gross margin and sundry income as well as an increase in other
operating expenses and payroll costs.

Net cash used for investing activities decreased from $223,284 in the first
quarter of 2004 to $88,558 for the same period in 2005. In the first quarter of
2004 the Company replaced a large section of its conveyor system.

Net cash used for financing activities was $2,835,211 in the period ending March
31, 2005 as compared to net cash used for financing activities of $1,556,848
during the same period in 2004. This considerable difference was principally
attributable to funds being used during 2005 to pay down draws on the Company's
line of credit which were made throughout 2004 and through the first quarter of
2005.

Our continuing ability to generate cash for funding our activities is
highlighted by the relative constancy of three key liquidity measures - working
capital, current ratio (current assets to current liabilities) and long-term
debt as a percentage of capitalization, as shown in the following table:

MARCH 31, DECEMBER 31, MARCH 31,
2005 2004 2004
----------- ----------- -----------
Working Capital $13,769,314 $12,563,259 $11,850,043

Current Ratio 1.4 to 1 1.6 to 1 1.4 to 1

Long-term Debt as Percentage
of Capitalization 8.7% 4.2% 5.9%

During the remainder of 2005, the Company expects to further expand its existing
customer base in its non-core selling territories. The Company will finance this
expansion with anticipated growth in revenues from sales to new member-dealers
in these territories, and with proceeds from the sale of stock to new and
current member-dealers. The Company expects that expansion in these selling
territories will have a beneficial effect on its ability to generate cash to
meet its funding needs.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
- ------------------------------

As of March 31, 2005, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements,
as defined by Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

outstanding under the credit facility fluctuate on a daily basis.
(2) April 1 through December 31, 2005


Capital Resources
- -----------------

In the three month periods ending March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004, our
investment in capital assets was $115,146 and $262,882, respectively.
Approximately 40.6 percent ($46,769) of the amount expended in the first three
months of 2005 was used to upgrade warehouse equipment, 31.9 percent ($36,721)
was used to purchase computer equipment and 18.7 percent ($21,563) was used to
purchase a company vehicle. By comparison, of the total amount expended in the
first three months of 2004, $215,441 (82.0%) was used to purchase warehouse
equipment, $19,072 (7.3%) was used to purchase a company vehicle and $16,723
(6.4%) was used to purchase computer equipment.

In April, 2004, JP Morgan Chase Bank amended the Company's existing
unsecured $10 million revolving line of credit to provide for an April 30, 2006
maturity date. We use our unsecured $10 million revolving line of credit from
time to time for our working capital and other financing needs. During the first
three months of 2005, we borrowed $22,000,000 and repaid $19,545,000 from cash
flow, leaving an outstanding balance of $2,455,000 under our line of credit on
March 31, 2005. We make monthly interest payments on the outstanding balance of
our line of credit. Our average outstanding balance on our line of credit for
the first quarter of 2005 was $4,284,444.

For the remaining nine months of 2005, we anticipate significant cash
outlays for payment of accounts payable and increased inventory purchases.
Additional cash outlays anticipated for capital expenditures include
approximately $213,000 to upgrade computer equipment, $100,000 to improve our
automobile fleet, and $120,000 to purchase office furniture and equipment.

Page 18 of 21 Pages


Our cash position of $1,919,498 at March 31, 2005 is anticipated to be
sufficient to fund all planned capital expenditures and working capital needs,
although some third party financing, including draws on our line of credit, may
be needed.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
----------------------------

For a discussion of our critical accounting policies which relate to
inventory, revenue recognition and allowance for doubtful accounts, and which
remain unchanged, see our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2004.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
--------------------------

The statements contained in this report that are not historical facts are
forward-looking statements as that term is defined in Section 21E of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and therefore involve a number
of risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements may be or may
concern, among other things, sales levels, the general condition of retail
markets, levels of costs and margins, capital expenditures, liquidity, and
competition. Such forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words
such as "plan," "budget," "estimate," "expect," "predict," "anticipate,"
"projected," "should," "believe," or other words that convey the uncertainty of
future events or outcomes. Such forward-looking information is based upon
management's current plans, expectations, estimates and assumptions and is
subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect
current plans, anticipated actions, the timing of such actions and the Company's
financial condition and results of operations. As a consequence, actual results
may differ materially from expectations, estimates or assumptions expressed in
or implied by any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the
Company, including those regarding the Company's financial results, levels of
revenues, capital expenditures, or capital resource activities. Among the
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are: fluctuations
of the prices received for or demand for the Company's goods, amounts of goods
sold for reduced or no mark-up, a need for additional labor or transportation
costs for delivery of goods, requirements for capital; general economic
conditions or specific conditions in the retail hardware business; weather
conditions; competition, as well as the risks and uncertainties discussed in
this report, including, without limitation, the portions referenced above and
the uncertainties set forth from time to time in the Company's other public
reports, filings, and public statements. Interim results are not necessarily
indicative of those for a full year.
