ITEM 4.02  NON-RELIANCE ON PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR A RELATED AUDIT REPORT OR COMPLETED INTERIM REVIEW
 
As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 9, 2010 (the “Initial Form 8-K”), DXP Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”) concluded that the value of inventory acquired in connection with the acquisition of Precision Industries, Inc. (“Precision”), on September 10, 2007 was overstated.  The Initial Form 8-K stated the Company expected to restate previously issued balance sheets and the restatement of the previously issued balance sheets would result in an increase in goodwill and a reduction in inventory.

Subsequent to filing the Initial Form 8-K, the Company had discussions with the staff of the SEC and referred to authoritative guidance.  The Company has determined pursuant to authoritative guidance that the allocation period per B183 of SFAS 141 should not exceed one year from the consummation date of the acquisition.  Therefore, the prescribed accounting treatment is to include the approximately $14 million charge to reduce the value of the Precision inventory in cost of sales in the fourth quarter of 2009.  Therefore, financial statements will not be restated for this issue.

The Chief Financial Officer has discussed the matters disclosed in this filing with the Company’s independent accountant.
