The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. DXP Enterprises, Inc. (the "Company") believes that the presentations and disclosures herein are adequate to make the information not misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all elimination entries and adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods.

The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 10-K Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2003, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

DXP Enterprises, Inc. and subsidiaries (DXP or the Company), a Texas corporation, was incorporated on July 26, 1996, to be the successor to SEPCO Industries, Inc. (SEPCO). The Company is organized into two segments: Maintenance, Repair and Operating (MRO) and Electrical Contractor.

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans under Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The pro forma information below is based on provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("FAS") No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by FAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure, issued in December 2002.

The Company uses the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method of inventory valuation for approximately 80 percent of its inventories. Remaining inventories are accounted for using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must necessarily be based on management's estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because these are subject to many forces beyond management's control, interim results are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation. The reconciliation of FIFO inventory to LIFO basis is as follows:

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods indicated.

The MRO Segment is engaged in providing maintenance, repair and operating products, equipment and integrated services, including engineering expertise and logistics capabilities, to industrial customers. The Company provides a wide range of MRO products in the fluid handling equipment, bearing, power transmission equipment, general mill, safety supply and electrical products categories. The Electrical Contractor segment sells a broad range of electrical products, such as wire conduit, wiring devices, electrical fittings and boxes, signaling devices, heaters, tools, switch gear, lighting, lamps, tape, lugs, wire nuts, batteries, fans and fuses, to electrical contractors.

The high degree of integration of the Company's operations necessitates the use of a substantial number of allocations and apportionments in the determination of business segment information. Sales are shown net of intersegment eliminations. All business segments operate primarily in the United States.

Financial information relating to the Company's segments is as follows:

In January 2004, the Company paid a former officer of the Company $100,000 to terminate a stock option agreement between the Company and the former officer. The terminated stock option agreement provided for the former officer to purchase 359,000 shares of DXP's common stock at $1.64 per share.

On March 31, 2004, DXP exchanged two of the notes receivable from Mr. Little, Chief Executive Officer, with a face value of $338,591, including accrued interest, for 80,619 shares of DXP's common stock held by three trusts for the benefit of Mr. Little's children. The shares were valued at the $4.20 per share closing market price on March 31, 2004.

SALES. Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, increased $4.3 million, or 11.4%, to approximately $42.1 million from $37.8 million in 2003. Sales for the MRO Segment increased $4.3 million, or 11.6%, primarily due to increased sales of products for offshore energy production. Sales for the Electrical Contractor segment remained approximately the same at $0.6 million for both periods.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased by approximately 1.3% for the second quarter of 2004, when compared to the same period in 2003. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the MRO segment decreased to 23.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2004, from 25.1% in the comparable period of 2003. This decrease can be primarily attributed to lower than average margins on certain large sales of products for offshore energy production. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the Electrical Contractor segment increased to 40.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2004, from 33.7% in the comparable period of 2003. This increase resulted from increased sales of higher margin specialty electrical products and reduced sales of lower margin commodity type electrical products.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, increased by approximately $0.2 million when compared to the same period in 2003. This increase is primarily attributed to increased professional fees and selling related expenses in 2004 compared to 2003. These expenses were incurred to increase sales and shareholder value. As a percentage of revenue, the 2004 expense decreased by approximately 1.7% to 20.8% from 22.5% for 2003. This decrease is attributable to an increased level of expenses being spread over an increased revenue amount.

OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the second quarter of 2004 increased 27.0% when compared to the same period in 2003. Operating income for the MRO segment increased 19.9% as a result of gross profit increasing by more than selling, general and administrative expense increased. Operating income for the Electrical Contractor segment improved to a profit in 2004 from break even in 2003. The improved operating income for the Electrical Contractor segment is the result of reduced selling, general and administrative expense combined with increased gross profit.

INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 decreased by $0.1 million, or 35.5%, to $0.2 million from $0.3 million during the same period in 2003. This decline results from a lower average debt balance for the second quarter of 2004 when compared to the second quarter of 2003, as well as lower interest rates.

SALES. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2004, increased $4.7 million, or 6.3%, to approximately $80.0 million from $75.2 million in 2003. Sales for the MRO Segment increased $4.6 million, or 6.2%, primarily due to increased sales of products for offshore energy production. Sales for the Electrical Contractor segment increased by $0.1 million, or 10.8%, for the current six months when compared to same period in 2003. This increase is the result of selling more specialty type electrical products.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased by approximately 0.7% for the first six months of 2004, when compared to the same period in 2003. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the MRO segment decreased to 24.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2004, from 25.1% in the comparable period of 2003. This decrease can be primarily attributed to lower than average margins on certain large sales of products for offshore energy production. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the Electrical Contractor segment increased to 36.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2004, from 35.3% in the comparable period of 2003. This increase resulted from increased sales of higher margin specialty type electrical products.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004, increased by approximately $0.2 million when compared to the same period in 2003. This increase is primarily attributed to increased professional fees and selling related expenses in 2004 compared to 2003. These expenses were incurred to increase sales and shareholder value. As a percentage of revenue, the 2004 expense decreased by approximately 1.1% to 21.4% from 22.5% for 2003. This decrease is attributable to an increased level of expenses being spread over an increased revenue amount.

OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the first six months of 2004 increased 23.0% when compared to the same period in 2003. Operating income for the MRO segment increased 17.6% as a result of gross profit increasing by more than selling, general and administrative expense increased. Operating income for the Electrical Contractor segment improved to a profit in 2004 from a small loss in 2003. The improved operating income for the Electrical Contractor segment is the result of reduced selling, general and administrative expense combined with increased gross profit.

INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004 decreased by 35.2%, to $0.4 million from $0.7 million during the same period in 2003. This decline results from a lower average debt balance for the first six months of 2004 when compared to the first six months of 2003, as well as lower interest rates.

As a distributor of MRO products and Electrical Contractor products, we require significant amounts of working capital to fund inventories and accounts receivable. Additional cash is required for capital items such as information technology and warehouse equipment. We also require cash to pay our lease obligations and to service our debt.

We used $0.8 million of cash in operating activities during the first six months of 2004 as compared to generating $0.6 million in cash in operating activities during the first six months of 2003. This change between the two periods is primarily attributable to a larger increase in accounts receivable in the 2004 period compared to the 2003 period.

During the first six months of 2004, the amount available to be borrowed under our loan agreement with our bank lender (the "Credit Facility") increased from $9.6 million at December 31, 2003 to $10.3 million at June 30, 2004. This increase in availability resulted from the increase in accounts receivable collateral value, partially offset by the $1.3 million increase in total long-term debt during the first six months of 2004. The funds obtained from the increase in long-term debt were used to purchase products which were sold for use in offshore energy production. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the balance of customer advances for orders for product increased by $0.6 million, to $3.5 million. We expect to purchase products and incur other costs to complete these orders during 2004. Therefore, we expect the amount available to be borrowed under the Credit Facility to decline and the amount of long-term debt to increase during 2004. However, management believes that the liquidity of our balance sheet at June 30, 2004, will provide us with the ability to meet our working capital needs during 2004 and 2005.

Under the Credit Facility, all available cash is generally applied to reduce outstanding borrowings, with operations funded through borrowings under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility consists of a secured line of credit and a secured term loan.

The Credit Facility allows us to elect a rate of interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 2.25% to 3.25% or prime plus a margin ranging from 0.0% to 0.75%. At June 30, 2004 the prime based interest rate option was prime on the revolving portion of the Credit Facility and prime plus 0.25% on the term portion of the Credit Facility. At June 30, 2004 the LIBOR based interest rate option was LIBOR plus 2.25% on the revolving portion of the Credit Facility and LIBOR plus 2.50% on the term portion of the Credit Facility. The LIBOR interest option resulted in interest rates which were lower than the prime interest option. At June 30, 2004, $15.0 million was borrowed at a weighted average rate of 3.44% under the LIBOR option. The prime rate at June 30, 2004 was 4.0%.

The Credit Facility provides for borrowings up to an aggregate of the lesser of (i) a percentage of the collateral value based on a formula set forth therein or (ii) $30.0 million, and matures April 1, 2006. The Credit Facility is secured by receivables, inventory, real estate and machinery and equipment. The Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants as well as financial covenants that are measured monthly and require that we maintain a certain cash flow and other financial ratios. At June 30, 2004, we were in compliance with these covenants. Although we expect to be able to comply with the covenants of the Credit Facility, there can be no assurance that in the future we will be able to do so or that our lender will be willing to waive such non-compliance or amend such covenants. In addition to the $1.0 million of cash at June 30, 2004, we had $10.3 million available for borrowings under the Credit Facility at June 30, 2004.

Accounts receivable days of sales outstanding were 55.6 at June 30, 2004 compared to 49.7 at June 30, 2003. The increase resulted primarily from June 2004 sales exceeding June 2003 sales by $3.3 million. The sales increase resulted in increased accounts receivable at June 30, 2004. A portion of the increase in days of sales outstanding results from certain energy related customers with large receivables paying us more slowly than our average collection period. Annualized inventory turns were 6.3 at June 30, 2004 compared to 5.6 at June 30, 2003. The improvement resulted from active inventory management.

Our internal cash flow projections indicate our cash generated from operations and available under our Credit Facility will meet our normal working capital needs during 2004 and 2005. However, we may require additional debt or equity financing to meet our future debt service obligations, which may include additional bank debt or the public or private sale of equity or debt securities. In connection with any such financing, we may be required to issue securities that substantially dilute the interest of our shareholders. As described above, all of our Credit Facility matures on or before April 1, 2006. We will need to extend the maturity of, or replace our Credit Facility on or before April 1, 2006. However, we may not be able to renew and extend or replace the Credit Facility. Any extended or replacement facility may have higher interest costs, less borrowing capacity, more restrictive conditions and could involve equity dilution. Our ability to obtain a satisfactory credit facility may de pend, in part, upon the level of our asset base for collateral purposes, our future financial performance and our ability to obtain additional equity.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The significant estimates made by us in the accompanying financial statements relate to reserves for accounts receivable collectibility, inventory valuations and self-insured medical claims. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Critical accounting policies are those that are both most important to the portrayal of a company's financial position and results of operations, and require management's subjective or complex judgments. Below is a discussion of what we believe are our critical accounting policies.

We recognize revenues when an agreement is in place, price is fixed, title for product passes to the customer or services have been provided, and collecitibility is reasonably assured.

Provisions to the allowance for doubtful accounts are made monthly and adjustments are made periodically (as circumstances warrant) based upon the expected collectibility of all such accounts.

Inventory consists principally of finished goods and is priced at lower of cost or market, cost being determined using both the first-in and first out (FIFO) and the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. Reserves are provided against inventory for estimated obsolescence based upon the aging of the inventory and market trends.

In accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, we have recorded a net deferred tax asset of $1.3 million as of June 30, 2004. We believe it is more likely than not that this net deferred tax asset will be realized based primarily on the assumption of future taxable income.

Management periodically re-evaluates these estimates as events and circumstances change. Together with the effects of the matters discussed above, these factors may significantly impact the Company's results of operations from period-to-period.

Our market risk results from volatility in interest rates. This risk is monitored and managed. Our exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to our Credit Facility. Based on our capital structure at June 30, 2004, a 100 basis point change in interest rates would result in an estimated $0.2 million change in annual interest expense.

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) was evaluated by our management with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer, David R. Little (principal executive officer), and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Mac McConnell (principal financial officer). Messrs. Little and McConnell have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, to help ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file with the SEC is accumulated and communicated to management and recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods prescribed by the SEC.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter (the quarter ended June 30, 2004) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

No material developments have occurred in the asbestos related litigation disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

The following table summarizes all repurchases of DXP equity securities by DXP during the three months ended June 30, 2004.

None.

On June 1, 2004, at the Company's annual meeting of shareholders, the individuals listed below were elected directors by the holders of Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, voting together as a class. Additionally, the shareholders approved the Amendment to the 1999 Stock Option Plan. Set forth for each director and the Option Amendment is the tabulation of votes cast.

Our expectations with respect to future results of operations that may be embodied in oral and written forward-looking statements, including any forward-looking statements that may be contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, are subject to risks and uncertainties that must be considered when evaluating the likelihood of our realization of such expectations. Our actual results could differ materially. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below.

Our loan agreements with our bank lender (the "Credit Facility") requires that we comply with certain specified covenants, restrictions, financial ratios and other financial and operating tests. Our ability to comply with any of the foregoing restrictions will depend on our future performance, which will be subject to prevailing economic conditions and other factors, including factors beyond our control. A failure to comply with any of these obligations could result in an event of default under the Credit Facility, which could permit acceleration of our indebtedness under the Credit Facility. Although we expect to be able to comply with the covenants, including the financial covenants, of the Credit Facility, there can be no assurance that in the future we will be able to do so or that our lender will be willing to waive such non-compliance or further amend such covenants.

Future results for us will depend in part on our success in implementing our internal growth strategy, which includes expanding our existing geographic areas and adding new customers. Our ability to implement this strategy will depend on our success in selling more to existing customers, acquiring new customers, hiring qualified sales persons, and marketing integrated supply arrangements such as those being pursued by us through our SmartSource program. Although we intend to increase sales and product offerings to existing customers and reduce costs through consolidating certain administrative and sales functions, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in these efforts.

Our business is highly competitive. We compete with a variety of industrial supply distributors, some of which may have greater financial and other resources than us. Although many of our traditional distribution competitors are small enterprises selling to customers in a limited geographic area, we also compete with larger distributors that provide integrated supply programs such as those offered through outsourcing services similar to those that are offered by our SmartSource program. Some of these large distributors may be able to supply their products in a more timely and cost-efficient manner than us. Our competitors include direct mail suppliers, large warehouse stores and, to a lesser extent, certain manufacturers.

Demand for our products is subject to changes in the United States economy in general and economic trends affecting our customers and the industries in which they compete in particular. Many of these industries, such as the oil and gas industry, are subject to volatility while others, such as the petrochemical industry, are cyclical and materially affected by changes in the economy. As a result, we may experience changes in demand for our products as changes occur in the markets of our customers.

We will continue to be dependent to a significant extent upon the efforts and ability of David R. Little, our Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. The loss of the services of Mr. Little or any other executive officer of our company could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We do not maintain key-man life insurance on the life of Mr. Little or on the lives of our other executive officers. In addition, our ability to grow successfully will be dependent upon our ability to attract and retain qualified management and technical and operational personnel. The failure to attract and retain such persons could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We have distribution authorizations for certain product lines and depend on these distribution authorizations for a substantial portion of our business. Many of these distribution authorizations are pursuant to contracts that are subject to cancellation upon little or no prior notice. Although we believe that we could obtain alternate distribution authorizations in the event of such a cancellation, the termination or limitation by any key supplier of its relationship with our company could result in a temporary disruption on our business and, in turn, could adversely affect results of operations and financial condition.

Certain of our operations are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations controlling the discharge of materials into or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. Although we believe that we have adequate procedures to comply with applicable discharge and other environmental laws, the risks of accidental contamination or injury from the discharge of controlled or hazardous materials and chemicals cannot be eliminated completely. In the event of such an accident, we could be held liable for any damages that result and any such liability could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

On May 6, 2004, DXP filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC in connection with the press release announcing financial results for the quarterly period ending March 31, 2004.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
