<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">&#147;During the third quarter, we achieved a major milestone in the transformation of our business. In
August&nbsp;2011, we successfully went live with a major phase of our ERP system that will provide
Lawson with the right platform to realize its goal of generating sustainable, profitable long-term
growth,&#148; commented Thomas Neri, president and chief executive officer. &#147;While our third quarter
financial performance was temporarily impacted by the conversion to the new ERP system, we are
already seeing signs that it will provide us with the important tools to manage the business and
enhance our customers&#146; experience,&#148; concluded Mr.&nbsp;Neri.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt"><B>Third Quarter 2011 Results</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">Net sales for the third quarter of 2011 decreased 7.6% to $75.4&nbsp;million compared to $81.6&nbsp;million
in the prior year quarter. The third quarter was negatively impacted by two fewer selling days
during the conversion to the new ERP system. Additionally, the conversion temporarily impacted the
Company&#146;s ability to timely replenish its distribution centers resulting in lower fill rates and,
in some cases, untimely shipments to its customers. Average daily sales decreased from $1.243
million in July to $1.095&nbsp;million in August as a result of the Company&#146;s ERP conversion. September
average daily sales of $1.206&nbsp;million reflect the Company&#146;s gradual recovery from its conversion
disruption. For the quarter, national accounts were up 6.7%, or $0.4&nbsp;million, while government
accounts decreased by $3.2&nbsp;million year-over-year primarily due to a reduction in the Company&#146;s
military orders. Average daily sales were $1.178&nbsp;million in the period compared to $1.274&nbsp;million
in the third quarter of last year.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">Gross profit was $42.5&nbsp;million in the third quarter of 2011, compared to $49.9&nbsp;million in the prior
year period. As a percent of net sales, gross profit was 56.5% in the reporting period compared to
61.2% in the third quarter of 2010. The decline was driven by three factors: increased vendor costs
while holding customer pricing constant to facilitate the Company&#146;s ERP conversion, increased net
outbound shipping costs as the Company shipped more single line orders to support its customers and
the strategic decision to pursue larger customers with lower margins. The shift toward larger
accounts has resulted in higher retention and will create operating leverage over time. Subsequent
to the quarter-end, the Company accelerated its tiered pricing program and also implemented product
category-specific price increases in line with the current marketplace.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) grew by 4.0% to $45.3&nbsp;million year-over-year.
The increase was primarily driven by $2.3&nbsp;million of expenses related to the ERP implementation and
investments in our comprehensive website re-development, as well as higher health insurance claims
and temporary labor costs. These increases were partially offset by decreased incentive and stock
based compensation expenses. Excluding ERP implementation costs, SG&A expenses increased by $1.0
million or 2.3%.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">The loss from continuing operations was $2.2&nbsp;million, or $0.25 per diluted share, in the third
quarter of 2011 compared to income from continuing operations of $5.8&nbsp;million, or $0.68 per diluted
share, in the prior year quarter. Excluding the net impact of the non-recurring $3.5&nbsp;million
favorable legal settlement in 2010, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.39
in 2010.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">Net loss for the third quarter of 2011 was $2.2&nbsp;million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared to
net income of $3.4&nbsp;million, or $0.40 per diluted share, in the prior year.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">The Company ended the third quarter with $19.3&nbsp;million of cash and cash equivalents and no
outstanding borrowings. Additionally, the Company extended its credit facility for five years
under more favorable pricing and covenant terms.


<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; display: none">1
<!-- PAGEBREAK -->

<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt"><B>Year-to-Date Results</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">For the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2011, net sales increased by 2.3% to $242.1&nbsp;million
year-over-year. Year-to-date, national and government sales represent 17.1% of sales as compared to
15.7% a year ago. Gross profit declined as a percent of sales to 58.2% from 61.3% for the first
nine months, primarily due to a continued shift toward larger customers at lower margins to deliver
higher customer retention and increased margin dollars over time, increased vendor costs while
holding customer pricing constant to facilitate the ERP conversion and increased net outbound
shipping costs.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">SG&A expenses increased by 3.7% year-over-year in the first nine months of 2011 and, as a
percentage of net sales, grew to 56.6% compared to 55.8% in the comparable 2010 period. SG&A
expenses included $6.6&nbsp;million of ERP implementation expenses in 2011 compared to $2.3&nbsp;million in
2010. Excluding ERP implementation costs and direct selling expenses, general and administrative
expenses increased $0.4&nbsp;million or 0.6%.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">Excluding 2010 non-recurring items, operating income decreased by $7.7&nbsp;million over the previous
year period, primarily due to lower margins and the ERP implementation costs mentioned above. In
the first nine months of 2010, the Company reported two non-recurring items which positively
impacted results: a favorable legal settlement of $4.1&nbsp;million and a $1.7&nbsp;million gain on the sale
of the Company&#146;s Dallas, Texas distribution center. Excluding the net impact of these non-recurring
items in 2010, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.11 in 2011 compared to
$0.70 in the first nine months of 2010.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">Net income for the first nine months of 2011 was $0.9&nbsp;million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared
to $7.4&nbsp;million, or $0.87 per diluted share in the prior year.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 9pt">The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP). However, the Company&#146;s management believes that certain non-GAAP financial
measures may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful comparisons between
current results and results in prior operating periods. Management believes that these non-GAAP
financial measures can provide additional meaningful reflection of underlying trends of the
business because they provide a comparison of historical information that excludes certain
infrequently occurring or non-operational items that impact the overall comparability. See the
table below for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial
measures for the three and nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2011 and 2010. Non-GAAP financial
measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company&#146;s reported
results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
