NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2011

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Consolidation

Watsco, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Watsco,” which may be referred to as we, us or our) was incorporated in 1956 and is the largest distributor of air conditioning, heating and refrigeration equipment and related parts and supplies (“HVAC/R”) in the HVAC/R distribution industry. The accompanying Watsco September 30, 2011 interim condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements herein. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements contained in this report include the accounts of Watsco and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and include the accounts of two joint ventures in which Watsco maintains a 60% controlling interest (see Notes 7 and 8). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011. Sales of residential central air conditioners, heating equipment and parts and supplies are seasonal. Furthermore, results of operations can be impacted favorably or unfavorably based on weather patterns during the summer and winter selling seasons. Demand related to the residential central air conditioning replacement market is typically highest in the second and third quarters, and demand for heating equipment is usually highest in the fourth quarter. Demand related to the new construction sectors throughout most of the markets is fairly consistent during the year, except for dependence on housing completions and related weather and economic conditions.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Significant estimates include valuation reserves for accounts receivable, inventory and income taxes, reserves related to self-insurance programs and valuation of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets. While we believe that these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from such estimates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables

On January 1, 2011, we adopted accounting guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that amended the criteria for allocating a contract’s consideration to individual services or products in multiple deliverable arrangements. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements.

Fair Value Measurement Disclosures

On January 1, 2011, we adopted accounting guidance issued by the FASB that required new disclosures about significant transfers between Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements, including the reason for such transfers, and also required information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of Level 3 fair value measurements. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements.

Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses

On January 1, 2011, we adopted accounting guidance issued by the FASB that required new disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and their allowance for credit losses. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements because we do not have any financing receivables.

Goodwill Impairment Testing

On January 1, 2011, we adopted accounting guidance issued by the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) of the FASB requiring that Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test be performed in circumstances where a reporting unit has a zero or negative carrying amount for which qualitative factors exist that indicate that goodwill may be impaired. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements.

6 of 22

Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations

On January 1, 2011, we adopted accounting guidance issued by the EITF requiring pro forma financial information for business combinations to be presented as if the business combination occurred at the beginning of the prior annual reporting period when calculating both the current reporting period and the prior reporting period. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements. See Note 7.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Presentation of Comprehensive Income

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income that allows an entity to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. The new guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of shareholders’ equity. This guidance will be applied retrospectively and will be effective for our interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We will adopt this guidance on January 1, 2012 and expect to add new primary consolidated statements of other comprehensive income which will immediately follow our consolidated statements of income to our filings when applicable.

Goodwill Impairment Testing

In September 2011, the FASB amended the guidance on the annual testing of goodwill for impairment. The amended guidance will allow companies to assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that goodwill might be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test required under current accounting standards. This guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

We compute earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Shares of our non-vested (restricted) stock are considered participating securities because these awards contain a non-forfeitable right to dividends irrespective of whether the awards ultimately vest. Under the two-class method, earnings per common share for our Common and Class B common stock is computed by dividing the sum of distributed earnings to common shareholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common and Class B common stock outstanding for the period. In applying the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated to Common stock, Class B common stock and participating securities based on the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted earnings per share for our Common stock assumes the conversion of all of our Class B common stock into Common stock as of the beginning of the fiscal year and adjusts for the dilutive effects of outstanding stock options using the treasury stock method. As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, our outstanding Class B common stock was convertible into 2,853,096 and 2,858,592 shares of our Common stock, respectively.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for our Common and Class B common stock:

	Quarter Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
Basic Earnings per Share:
Net income attributable to Watsco, Inc. shareholders	$	33,547	$	31,437	$	77,070	$	70,315
Less: distributed and undistributed earnings allocated to non-vested (restricted) common stock		2,295		1,835		5,105		4,182
Earnings allocated to Watsco, Inc. shareholders	$	31,252	$	29,602	$	71,965	$	66,133
Weighted-average Common and Class B common shares outstanding for basic earnings per share		30,694,844		30,499,889		30,660,843		30,442,941

7 of 22

	Quarter Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
Basic earnings per share for Common and Class B common stock	$	1.02	$	0.97	$	2.35	$	2.17
Allocation of earnings for Basic:
Common stock	$	28,347	$	26,828	$	65,268	$	59,923
Class B common stock		2,905		2,774		6,697		6,210
	$	31,252	$	29,602	$	71,965	$	66,133
Diluted Earnings per Share:
Net income attributable to Watsco, Inc. shareholders	$	33,547	$	31,437	$	77,070	$	70,315
Less: distributed and undistributed earnings allocated to non-vested (restricted) common stock		2,293		1,833		5,101		4,178
Earnings allocated to Watsco, Inc. shareholders	$	31,254	$	29,604	$	71,969	$	66,137

The diluted earnings per share calculation assumes the conversion of all of our Class B common stock into Common stock as of the beginning of the period; therefore, no allocation of earnings to Class B common stock is required.

Weighted-average Common and Class B common shares outstanding for basic earnings per share		30,694,844		30,499,889		30,660,843		30,442,941
Effect of dilutive stock options		63,688		101,332		80,452		115,792
Weighted-average Common and Class B common shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share		30,758,532		30,601,221		30,741,295		30,558,733
Diluted earnings per share for Common and Class B common stock	$	1.02	$	0.97	$	2.34	$	2.16
Anti-dilutive stock options not included in above		132,750		199,826		22,322		144,756

3. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT

Periodically, we enter into interest rate swap agreements to reduce our exposure to interest rate risk from changing interest rates under our revolving credit agreements. Under the terms of the swap agreements, we agree to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable interest amounts calculated by reference to the notional principal amount. Any differences paid or received on our interest rate swap agreements are recognized as adjustments to interest expense over the life of each swap, thereby adjusting the effective interest rate on the underlying obligation. Financial instruments are not held or issued for trading purposes. In order to obtain hedge accounting treatment, any derivatives used for hedging purposes must be designated as, and effective as, a hedge of an identified risk exposure at the inception of the contract. Changes in the fair value of the derivative contract must be highly correlated with changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged item at inception of the hedge and over the life of the hedge contract. Accordingly, we record all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at their respective fair values. We record the change in the fair value of a derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge in other comprehensive income to the extent the derivative is effective and recognize the change in the statement of income when the hedged item affects earnings. Our interest rate hedge is designated as a cash flow hedge.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had one interest rate swap agreement in effect with a notional value of $10,000, maturing in October 2011. The swap agreement exchanges the variable rate of 30-day LIBOR to a fixed interest rate of 5.07%. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the hedging relationship was determined to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in cash flows.

The negative fair value of the derivative financial instrument was $42 and $399 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and is included, net of accrued interest, in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 4. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $17, net of deferred tax benefits of $10 and $238, net of deferred tax benefits of $146, respectively, was included in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“OCL”) associated with the cash flow hedge.

8 of 22

The net change in OCL for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, reflected the reclassification of $77, net of income tax benefit of $48, $76, net of income tax benefit of $46, $228, net of income tax benefit of $139 and $225, net of income tax benefit of $138, respectively, of unrealized losses from accumulated OCL to current period earnings (recorded in interest expense, net in the condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income). The net unrealized loss recorded in accumulated OCL will be reclassified to earnings on a monthly basis as interest payments occur. We estimate that approximately $20 in unrealized losses on the derivative instrument accumulated in OCL are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next month using the current 30-day LIBOR-based receive rate (0.21% at September 30, 2011). See Note 5.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

We carry various assets and liabilities at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Fair value measurements are classified based on the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2	Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or model-driven valuations or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3	Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect our own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following tables present our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the levels of inputs used to measure fair value:

Description	Fair Value at September 30, 2011		Fair Value Measurements at September 30, 2011 Using
			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets:
Available-for-sale securities	$	124	$	124		—		—
Liabilities:
Derivative financial instrument	$	42		—	$	42		—

Description	Fair Value at December 31, 2010		Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2010 Using
			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets:
Available-for-sale securities	$	157	$	157		—		—
Liabilities:
Derivative financial instrument	$	399		—	$	399		—

The following is a description of the valuation techniques used for these assets and liabilities, as well as the level of input used to measure fair value:

Available-for-sale securities – the investments are exchange-traded equity securities. Fair values for these investments are based on quoted prices in active markets and are therefore classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of available-for-sale securities is included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Derivative financial instrument – the derivative is a pay-variable, receive fixed interest rate swap based on 30-day LIBOR. Fair value is based on model-derived valuations using the respective LIBOR rate, which is observed at quoted intervals for the full term of the swap and incorporates adjustments to appropriately reflect our nonperformance risk and the counterparty’s nonperformance risk. Therefore, the derivative is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the derivative financial instrument is included, net of accrued interest, in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 3.

5. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income consists of net income, changes in the unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities and the effective portion of a cash flow hedge as discussed in Note 3. The components of comprehensive income are as follows:

	Quarter Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011			2010		2011			2010
Net income	$	51,818		$	43,518	$	115,212		$	97,200
Changes in unrealized losses on derivative instrument		77			52		221			120
Changes in unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities		(23	)		17		(20	)		13
Comprehensive income		51,872			43,587		115,413			97,333
Less: comprehensive income attributable to noncontrolling interest		18,271			12,081		38,142			26,885
Comprehensive income attributable to Watsco, Inc.	$	33,601		$	31,506	$	77,271		$	70,448

6. REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENTS

Watsco Revolving Credit Agreement

We maintain a bank-syndicated, unsecured revolving credit agreement that provides for borrowings of up to $300,000. Borrowings are used to fund seasonal working capital needs and for other general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, dividends, stock repurchases and issuances of letters of credit. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $75,000 and $10,000 were outstanding under this revolving credit agreement, respectively. The credit agreement matures in August 2012 and, accordingly, borrowings outstanding under the credit agreement are classified as current liabilities in our condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheet at September 30, 2011. We have obtained indicative term sheets at competitive rates and terms and intend to refinance this bank-syndicated, unsecured revolving credit agreement prior to its maturity however, there is no assurance that we will be able to refinance with the same terms and conditions.

The revolving credit agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants including financial covenants with respect to consolidated leverage and interest coverage ratios and limits capital expenditures, dividends and share repurchases in addition to other restrictions. We believe we were in compliance with all covenants and financial ratios at September 30, 2011.

Carrier Enterprise Revolving Credit Agreement

Carrier Enterprise, LLC (“Carrier Enterprise”), in which we have a 60% controlling interest and Carrier Corporation (“Carrier”) has a 40% noncontrolling interest, maintains a separate bank-syndicated, secured revolving credit agreement that provides for borrowings of up to $125,000. Effective July 1, 2011, Carrier Enterprise’s standard payment terms with Carrier for inventory purchases accelerated. As a result of this change, on July 26, 2011 we amended the revolving credit agreement to increase available borrowings to $125,000 from $75,000. All other terms and conditions of the credit facility remained the same. Borrowings under the credit facility are used by Carrier Enterprise for general corporate purposes, including working capital and permitted acquisitions. The credit facility is secured by substantially all tangible and intangible assets of Carrier Enterprise. At September 30, 2011, $40,000 was outstanding under this revolving credit agreement. No borrowings were outstanding under this credit facility at December 31, 2010. The credit agreement matures in July 2012 and, accordingly, borrowings outstanding are classified as current liabilities in our condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheet at September 30, 2011. We have obtained indicative term sheets at competitive rates and terms and intend to refinance, on an unsecured basis, Carrier Enterprise’s bank-syndicated revolving credit agreement prior to its maturity however, there is no assurance that we will be able to refinance with the same terms and conditions.

The revolving credit agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and representations and warranties, including compliance with a monthly borrowing base certificate with advance rates on accounts receivable and inventory, two financial covenants with respect to Carrier Enterprise’s leverage and interest coverage ratios and limitations on the level of capital expenditures and cash distributions in addition to other restrictions. We believe Carrier Enterprise was in compliance with all covenants and financial ratios at September 30, 2011.

7. ACQUISITIONS

On April 29, 2011, we completed the formation of a second joint venture with Carrier to distribute Carrier, Bryant and Payne branded residential, light-commercial and applied-commercial HVAC products and related parts and supplies in the northeast United States. Carrier contributed 28 of its company-operated northeastern locations to the newly formed joint venture, Carrier Enterprise Northeast, LLC (“Carrier Enterprise Northeast”), and we contributed 14 of our northeast locations. We purchased a 60% controlling interest in the joint venture for a fair value of $49,229. Total consideration paid by us for our 60% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise Northeast was composed of cash consideration of $35,700 and our contribution of 14 northeastern locations valued at $14,769. The final purchase price was subject to $1,240 of net working capital adjustments pursuant to the related purchase and contribution agreement.

10 of 22

The purchase price resulted in the recognition of $32,957 in goodwill and intangibles. The fair value of the identified intangible assets was $20,600 and consisted of $13,400 in trade names and distribution rights and $7,200 in customer relationships to be amortized over a 12 year period. The tax basis of the acquired goodwill recognized will be deductible for income tax purposes over 15 years.

The purchase price allocation is based upon a purchase price of $49,229, which represents the fair value of our 60% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise Northeast. The table below presents the allocation of the total consideration to tangible and intangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and the noncontrolling interest from the acquisition of our 60% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise Northeast based on the respective fair values as of April 29, 2011:

Cash	$	5
Accounts receivable		24,300
Inventories		39,003
Other current assets		773
Property and equipment		4,402
Goodwill		12,357
Intangibles		20,600
Other assets		202
Accounts payable		(17,474	)
Accrued expenses		(5,420	)
Noncontrolling interest		(29,519	)
Total purchase price	$	49,229

The fair value of the noncontrolling interest was determined by applying a pro-rata value of the total invested capital adjusted for a discount for lack of control that market participants would consider when estimating the fair value of the noncontrolling interest. As a result of our contribution of 14 locations to the joint venture, $7,708 representing 40% of the carrying value of the contributed locations was attributed to the noncontrolling interest and $7,061 representing 40% of the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the contributed locations, was recognized as an increase to paid-in capital.

The unaudited pro forma financial information combining our results of operations with the operations of Carrier Enterprise Northeast as if the joint venture had been consummated on January 1, 2010 is as follows:

	Quarter Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
Revenues	$	914,039	$	874,899	$	2,384,314	$	2,344,465
Net income		51,818		46,182		114,702		101,972
Less: net income attributable to noncontrolling interest		18,271		13,958		38,180		30,326
Net income attributable to Watsco, Inc.	$	33,547	$	32,224	$	76,522	$	71,646
Diluted earnings per share for Common and Class B common stock	$	1.02	$	0.99	$	2.32	$	2.21

This unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only. The unaudited pro forma financial information from the beginning of the periods presented until the acquisition date includes adjustments to record income taxes related to our portion of Carrier Enterprise Northeast’s income and amortization related to identified intangible assets with finite lives.

On July 29, 2011, we acquired a 60% controlling interest in Carrier’s HVAC/R distribution operations in Mexico (“Carrier Enterprise Mexico”) for cash consideration of $9,000. Carrier’s company-operated Mexico distribution network had revenues of approximately $75,000 in 2010 and operates from seven locations with 90 employees servicing its customer base. Products sold include Carrier’s complete product line of HVAC equipment and commercial refrigeration products and supplies servicing both the residential and applied commercial markets.

11 of 22

In April 2010, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of a wholesale distributor of air conditioning and heating products operating from two locations in Tennessee for cash consideration of $2,406.

The results of operations of these acquired locations have been included in the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements from the date of acquisition. The pro forma effect of the July 2011 and April 2010 acquisitions were not deemed significant to the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation, Claims and Assessments

We are involved in litigation incidental to the operation of our business. We vigorously defend all matters in which we or our subsidiaries are named defendants and, for insurable losses, maintain significant levels of insurance to protect against adverse judgments, claims or assessments that may affect us. Although the adequacy of existing insurance coverage or the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, based on the current information available, we do not believe the ultimate liability associated with any known claims or litigation in which we or our subsidiaries are involved will materially affect our financial condition or results of operations.

Self-Insurance

Self-insurance reserves are maintained relative to company-wide casualty insurance and health benefit programs. The level of exposure from catastrophic events is limited by the purchase of stop-loss and aggregate liability reinsurance coverage. When estimating the self-insurance liabilities and related reserves, management considers a number of factors, which include historical claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors and valuations provided by independent third-party actuaries. Management reviews its assumptions with its independent third-party actuaries to evaluate whether the self-insurance reserves are adequate. If actual claims or adverse development of loss reserves occur and exceed these estimates, additional reserves may be required. The estimation process contains uncertainty since management must use judgment to estimate the ultimate cost that will be incurred to settle reported claims and unreported claims for incidents incurred but not reported as of the balance sheet date. Reserves in the amounts of $5,899 and $7,295 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, were established related to such insurance programs and are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Purchases from Carrier and its affiliates comprised 51%, 48%, 47% and 52% of all purchases made during the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, approximately $53,000 and $93,000, respectively, was payable to Carrier and its affiliates, net of receivables. Carrier Enterprise and Carrier Enterprise Northeast also sell HVAC products to Carrier and its affiliates. Revenues in our condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 include $5,685, $6,025, $17,482 and $16,332, respectively, of sales to Carrier and its affiliates. We believe these transactions are conducted at arm’s-length in the ordinary course of business.

Carrier Enterprise Northeast and Carrier Enterprise Mexico have entered into Transactional Services Agreements (“TSAs”) with Carrier, pursuant to which Carrier performs certain business processes on their behalf, including processes involving the use of certain information technologies. The services provided by Carrier pursuant to the TSAs terminate on various dates through July 31, 2012 but may be extended as agreed upon by the parties. The fees related to the TSAs were $148 and $296 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income.

The services previously provided by Carrier pursuant to TSAs with Carrier Enterprise terminated on various dates throughout 2010. The fees related to these TSAs were $2,227 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income. The final purchase price for Carrier Enterprise was subject to an adjustment pursuant to the related purchase and contribution agreement, of which $1,418 was paid to Carrier during the quarter ended September 30, 2010.

We assume no obligation to update forward-looking information or the discussion of such risks and uncertainties to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information.

The following information should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements and notes thereto included under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, reference should be made to our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Company Overview

Watsco, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Watsco,” or “we,” “us” or “our”) was incorporated in 1956 and is the largest distributor of air conditioning, heating and refrigeration equipment and related parts and supplies (“HVAC/R”) in the HVAC/R distribution industry. On April 29, 2011, we completed the formation of a second joint venture with Carrier Corporation (“Carrier”) to distribute Carrier, Bryant and Payne branded residential, light-commercial and applied-commercial HVAC products and related parts and supplies in the northeast United States. Carrier contributed 28 of its northeastern locations to the newly-formed joint venture, Carrier Enterprise Northeast, LLC (“Carrier Enterprise Northeast”), and we contributed 14 of our northeast locations as partial consideration for our 60% controlling interest in the joint venture. On July 29, 2011, we acquired a 60% controlling interest in Carrier’s HVAC/R distribution operations in Mexico (“Carrier Enterprise Mexico”), which added seven locations to our distribution network. At September 30, 2011, we operated from 539 locations in 38 states, Mexico and Puerto Rico with additional market coverage on an export basis to Latin America and the Caribbean.

Revenues primarily consist of sales of air conditioning, heating and refrigeration equipment and related parts and supplies. Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of selling expenses, the largest components of which are salaries, commissions and marketing expenses that are variable and correlate to changes in sales. Other significant selling, general and administrative expenses relate to the operation of warehouse facilities, including a fleet of trucks and forklifts and facility rent, which are payable mostly under non-cancelable operating leases.

14 of 22

Sales of residential central air conditioners, heating equipment and parts and supplies are seasonal. Furthermore, results of operations can be impacted favorably or unfavorably based on weather patterns during summer and winter selling seasons. Demand related to the residential central air conditioning replacement market is typically highest in the second and third quarters, and demand for heating equipment is usually highest in the fourth quarter. Demand related to the new construction sectors throughout most of the markets is fairly consistent during the year, except for dependence on housing completions and related weather and economic conditions.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. At least quarterly, management reevaluates its judgments and estimates, which are based on historical experience, current trends and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Our critical accounting policies are included in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed on March 1, 2011. We believe that there have been no significant changes during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011 to the critical accounting policies disclosed in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Third Quarter 2011 Compared to Third Quarter 2010

Revenues

Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 increased $101.3 million, or 12%, compared to the same period in 2010, including $75.0 million attributable to the new Carrier Enterprise Northeast and Carrier Enterprise Mexico locations and $1.1 million from other locations acquired and opened during the immediately preceding 12 months, offset by $9.7 million from closed locations. On a same-store basis, revenues increased $34.9 million, or 4%, as compared to the same period in 2010, reflecting a 5% increase in sales of HVAC equipment, a 1% increase in sales of other HVAC products and a 4% increase in sales of refrigeration products. The increase in same-store revenues is primarily due to strong demand for the replacement of residential and commercial HVAC products.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 increased $23.9 million, or 12%, compared to the same period in 2010, primarily as a result of increased revenues. Gross profit margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 declined 10 basis-points to 24.0% versus 24.1% for the same period in 2010. On a same-store basis gross profit margin declined 10 basis-points to 24.0% versus 24.1% for the same period in 2010, primarily due to a shift in sales mix toward HVAC equipment, which generates a lower gross profit margin versus non-equipment products.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 increased $13.5 million, or 10%, compared to the same period in 2010. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 decreased to 15.9% from 16.2% for the same period in 2010. Selling, general and administrative expenses included $0.3 million of acquisition-related costs primarily associated with the acquisition and transition of Carrier Enterprise Northeast. On a same-store basis, selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 1% as compared to the same period in 2010 and as a percentage of sales decreased to 15.7%.

Interest Expense, Net

Net interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 increased $0.5 million, or 56%, compared to the same period in 2010, primarily as a result of an increase in average outstanding borrowings partially offset by a lower effective interest rate.

Income Taxes

Income taxes of $21.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 are a composite of the income taxes attributable to Watsco’s wholly-owned operations and 60% of income taxes attributable to Carrier Enterprise, LLC (“Carrier Enterprise”), and Carrier Enterprise Northeast, which are taxed as partnerships for income tax purposes. The effective income tax rate attributable to Watsco was 38.0% for the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Net Income Attributable to Watsco, Inc.

Net income attributable to Watsco for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 increased $2.1 million, or 7%, compared to the same period in 2010. The increase was primarily driven by higher revenues and lower levels of selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of revenues as discussed above.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010

Revenues

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased $144.6 million, or 7%, compared to the same period in 2010, including $119.9 million attributable to the new Carrier Enterprise Northeast and Carrier Enterprise Mexico locations and $5.7 million from other locations acquired and opened during the immediately preceding 12 months, offset by $23.0 million from closed locations. On a same-store basis, revenues increased $42.0 million, or 2%, as compared to the same period in 2010, reflecting flat sales of HVAC equipment, a 1% increase in sales of other HVAC products and a 9% increase in sales of refrigeration products. The increase in same-store revenues is primarily due to higher demand in the commercial replacement market partially offset by lower demand in the residential replacement market.

16 of 22

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased $48.4 million, or 9%, compared to the same period in 2010, primarily as a result of increased revenues. Gross profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 improved 60 basis-points to 24.3% versus 23.7% for the same period in 2010. The improvement in gross profit margin was primarily due to increased selling prices and improved discounts and rebates from vendors, reflecting increased purchasing activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased $25.6 million, or 7%, compared to the same period in 2010.

The effective income tax rate attributable to Watsco was 38.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Net Income Attributable to Watsco, Inc.

Net income attributable to Watsco for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased $6.8 million, or 10%, compared to the same period in 2010. The increase was primarily driven by higher revenues and expanded profit margins partially offset by higher levels of selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of revenues as discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to execute our business strategy and fund operating and investing activities, taking into consideration the seasonal demand of HVAC/R products, which peaks in the months of May through August. Significant factors that could affect our liquidity include the following:

• cash flows generated from operating activities;

• the adequacy of available bank lines of credit;

• the ability to attract long-term capital with satisfactory terms;

• acquisitions;

• dividend payments;

• capital expenditures; and

• the timing and extent of common stock repurchases.

Sources and Uses

We rely on cash flows from operations and additional borrowing capacity (subject to certain restrictions) under our revolving credit agreements to fund seasonal working capital needs, including our anticipated dividend payments, capital expenditures and funds necessary for business acquisitions, and to support the development of our long-term operating strategies.

We believe that our operating cash flows, cash on hand and funds available for borrowing under our current lines of credit will be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity needs in the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance that our current sources of available funds will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements. While we have the intent and current ability to refinance our revolving credit agreements on a long-term basis prior to their respective maturities in 2012, there is no assurance that we will be able to refinance with the same terms and conditions.

Any future disruption in the capital and credit markets, such as those experienced in 2008, could adversely affect our ability to draw on or refinance our lines of credit. Our access to funds under the lines of credit is dependent on the ability of the banks to meet their

17 of 22

funding commitments. Disruptions in capital and credit markets also may affect the determination of interest rates for borrowers, particularly rates based on LIBOR, as are our lines of credit. Any future disruptions in these markets and their effect on interest rates could result in increased borrowing costs under our existing, and any future, lines of credit.

Working Capital

Working capital increased to $610.6 million at September 30, 2011 from $572.0 million at December 31, 2010, reflecting the 35 new locations added by Carrier Enterprise Northeast and Carrier Enterprise Mexico in 2011, which in aggregate added $58.7 million of working capital. Excluding these new locations, working capital was $551.9 million.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flow activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

	2011			2010			Change
Cash flows (used in) provided by operating activities	$	(58.7	)	$	96.7		$	(155.4	)
Cash flows used in investing activities	$	(53.5	)	$	(7.3	)	$	(46.2	)
Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities	$	6.7		$	(47.6	)	$	54.3

A detail of the individual items contributing to the cash flow changes for the periods presented is included in the condensed consolidated unaudited statements of cash flows.

Operating Activities

The increase in net cash used in operating activities is primarily attributable to changes in operating assets and liabilities, which were primarily composed of lower levels of accounts payable and other liabilities due to $70.0 million in incremental vendor payments from one-time changes in payment terms effective July 1, 2011 and higher levels of inventory due to our seasonal buildup, including the purchase of previously consigned inventory from one of our key suppliers in 2011 for $17.0 million, partially offset by higher accounts receivable driven by increased sales volume and higher net income in 2011.

Investing Activities

The increase in net cash used in investing activities is due to the purchase of our 60% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise Northeast and Carrier Enterprise Mexico for aggregate cash consideration of $44.7 million and an increase in capital expenditures partially offset by higher proceeds from the sale of property and equipment in 2010.

Financing Activities

The increase in net cash provided by financing activities is primarily attributable to higher net borrowings under our revolving credit agreements in 2011, partially offset by an increase in dividends paid, a $32.0 million return of capital to the noncontrolling interest in Carrier Enterprise and an increase in distributions to the noncontrolling interest.

In March 2011, Carrier Enterprise returned an $80.0 million capital contribution made in 2009 to Watsco and Carrier using cash on hand. Our share of the return of capital totaled $48.0 million and Carrier’s share totaled $32.0 million. Cash distributions attributable to the noncontrolling interest in Carrier Enterprise included $9.7 million that was payable at December 31, 2010. This payment was made in January 2011.

Revolving Credit Agreements

We maintain a bank-syndicated, unsecured revolving credit agreement that provides for borrowings of up to $300.0 million. Borrowings are used to fund seasonal working capital needs and for other general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, dividends, stock repurchases and issuances of letters of credit. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $75.0 million and $10.0 million were outstanding under this revolving credit agreement, respectively. The credit agreement matures in August 2012 and accordingly, borrowings outstanding are classified as current liabilities in our condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheet at September 30, 2011. We have obtained indicative term sheets at competitive rates and terms and intend to refinance this bank-syndicated, unsecured revolving credit agreement prior to its maturity however, there is no assurance that we will be able to refinance with the same terms and conditions.

The revolving credit agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants including financial covenants with respect to consolidated leverage and interest coverage ratios and limits capital expenditures, dividends and share repurchases in addition to other restrictions. We believe we were in compliance with all covenants and financial ratios at September 30, 2011.

Carrier Enterprise maintains a separate bank-syndicated, secured revolving credit agreement that provides for borrowings of up to $125.0 million. Effective July 1, 2011, Carrier Enterprise’s standard payment terms with Carrier for inventory purchases changed. As a result of this change, on July 26, 2011 we amended the revolving credit agreement to increase available borrowings to $125.0 million from $75.0 million. All other terms and conditions of the credit facility remained the same. Borrowings under the credit

18 of 22

facility are used by Carrier Enterprise for general corporate purposes, including working capital and permitted acquisitions. The credit facility is secured by substantially all tangible and intangible assets of Carrier Enterprise. At September 30, 2011, $40.0 million was outstanding under this revolving credit agreement. No borrowings were outstanding under this credit facility at December 31, 2010. The credit agreement matures in July 2012 and accordingly, borrowings outstanding are classified as current liabilities in our condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheet at September 30, 2011. We have obtained indicative term sheets at competitive rates and terms and intend to refinance, on an unsecured basis, Carrier Enterprise’s bank-syndicated revolving credit agreement prior to its maturity however, there is no assurance that we will be able to refinance with the same terms and conditions.

The revolving credit agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and representations and warranties, including compliance with a monthly borrowing base certificate with advance rates on accounts receivable and inventory, two financial covenants with respect to Carrier Enterprise’s leverage and interest coverage ratios and limits the level of capital expenditures and cash distributions in addition to other restrictions. We believe Carrier Enterprise was in compliance with all covenants and financial ratios at September 30, 2011.

Acquisitions

Potential acquisitions and/or joint ventures are continually evaluated and discussions are conducted with a number of acquisition candidates. Should suitable acquisition opportunities or working capital needs arise that would require additional financing, we believe our financial position and earnings history provide a sufficient basis for obtaining additional financing resources at competitive rates and terms or gives us the ability to raise funds through the issuance of equity securities.

Common Stock Dividends

Cash dividends of $1.66 per share and $1.52 per share of Common and Class B common stock were paid for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. On October 3, 2011, our Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.57 per share of Common and Class B common stock that was paid on October 31, 2011 to shareholders of record as of October 14, 2011. On October 19, 2011, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the quarterly cash dividend to $0.62 per share from $0.57 per share. The increase will be reflected in the next regular dividend payment in January 2012. Future dividends and/or dividend rate increases will be at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon such factors as profitability, financial condition, cash requirements, restrictions under our revolving credit agreements, future prospects and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors.

Company Share Repurchase Program

In September 1999, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase, at management’s discretion, of up to 7.5 million shares of common stock in the open market or via private transactions. Shares repurchased under the program are accounted for using the cost method and result in a reduction of shareholders’ equity. In aggregate, 6.4 million shares of Common and Class B common stock have been repurchased at a cost of $114.4 million since the inception of the program. The repurchase of up to the remaining 1.1 million shares authorized for repurchase is subject to certain restrictions included in our revolving credit agreements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in market risk from the information provided in Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, of the 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the Exchange Act”)) that are, among other things, designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Senior Vice President (“SVP”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure and appropriate Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

Our management, with the participation of our CEO, SVP and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, and, based on that evaluation, our CEO, SVP and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at a reasonable assurance level, at and as of such date.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We are continuously seeking to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our operations and of our internal controls. This results in refinements to processes throughout the Company. However, there have been no changes in internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. In accordance with

19 of 22

the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, we have not yet assessed the internal control over financial reporting of the 28 locations added by Carrier Enterprise Northeast on April 29, 2011 and the seven locations added by Carrier Enterprise Mexico on July 29, 2011, which collectively represented approximately 10% of our total consolidated assets at September 30, 2011 and approximately 5% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. From the respective acquisition dates to September 30, 2011, the processes and systems of Carrier Enterprise Northeast and Carrier Enterprise Mexico did not impact the internal controls over financial reporting for our other consolidated subsidiaries.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved in litigation incidental to the operation of our business. We vigorously defend all matters in which we or our subsidiaries are named defendants and, for insurable losses, maintain significant levels of insurance to protect against adverse judgments, claims or assessments that may affect us. Although the adequacy of existing insurance coverage or the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, based on the current information available, we do not believe the ultimate liability associated with any known claims or litigation will have a material impact to our financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Information about risk factors for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 does not differ materially from that set forth in Part I, Item 1A, of our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Acquisitions [Abstract]

Acquisitions

7. ACQUISITIONS

On April 29, 2011, we completed the formation of a second joint venture with Carrier to distribute Carrier, Bryant and Payne branded residential, light-commercial and applied-commercial HVAC products and related parts and supplies in the northeast United States. Carrier contributed 28 of its company-operated northeastern locations to the newly formed joint venture, Carrier Enterprise Northeast, LLC ("Carrier Enterprise Northeast"), and we contributed 14 of our northeast locations. We purchased a 60% controlling interest in the joint venture for a fair value of $49,229. Total consideration paid by us for our 60% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise Northeast was composed of cash consideration of $35,700 and our contribution of 14 northeastern locations valued at $14,769. The final purchase price was subject to $1,240 of net working capital adjustments pursuant to the related purchase and contribution agreement.

The purchase price resulted in the recognition of $32,957 in goodwill and intangibles. The fair value of the identified intangible assets was $20,600 and consisted of $13,400 in trade names and distribution rights and $7,200 in customer relationships to be amortized over a 12 year period. The tax basis of the acquired goodwill recognized will be deductible for income tax purposes over 15 years.

The purchase price allocation is based upon a purchase price of $49,229, which represents the fair value of our 60% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise Northeast. The table below presents the allocation of the total consideration to tangible and intangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and the noncontrolling interest from the acquisition of our 60% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise Northeast based on the respective fair values as of April 29, 2011:

Cash	$	5
Accounts receivable		24,300
Inventories		39,003
Other current assets		773
Property and equipment		4,402
Goodwill		12,357
Intangibles		20,600
Other assets		202
Accounts payable		(17,474	)
Accrued expenses		(5,420	)
Noncontrolling interest		(29,519	)
Total purchase price	$	49,229

The fair value of the noncontrolling interest was determined by applying a pro-rata value of the total invested capital adjusted for a discount for lack of control that market participants would consider when estimating the fair value of the noncontrolling interest. As a result of our contribution of 14 locations to the joint venture, $7,708 representing 40% of the carrying value of the contributed locations was attributed to the noncontrolling interest and $7,061 representing 40% of the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the contributed locations, was recognized as an increase to paid-in capital.

The unaudited pro forma financial information combining our results of operations with the operations of Carrier Enterprise Northeast as if the joint venture had been consummated on January 1, 2010 is as follows:

	Quarter Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
Revenues	$	914,039	$	874,899	$	2,384,314	$	2,344,465
Net income		51,818		46,182		114,702		101,972
Less: net income attributable to noncontrolling interest		18,271		13,958		38,180		30,326
Net income attributable to Watsco, Inc.	$	33,547	$	32,224	$	76,522	$	71,646
Diluted earnings per share for Common and Class B common stock	$	1.02	$	0.99	$	2.32	$	2.21

This unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only. The unaudited pro forma financial information from the beginning of the periods presented until the acquisition date includes adjustments to record income taxes related to our portion of Carrier Enterprise Northeast's income and amortization related to identified intangible assets with finite lives. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not include adjustments to remove certain corporate expenses of Carrier Enterprise Northeast, which may not be incurred in future periods, adjustments for depreciation or synergies (primarily related to improved gross profit and lower general and administrative expenses) that may be realized subsequent to the acquisition date. The unaudited pro forma financial information may not necessarily reflect our future results of operations or what the results of operations would have been had we acquired our 60% controlling interest in and operated Carrier Enterprise Northeast as of the beginning of the periods presented.

On July 29, 2011, we acquired a 60% controlling interest in Carrier's HVAC/R distribution operations in Mexico ("Carrier Enterprise Mexico") for cash consideration of $9,000. Carrier's company-operated Mexico distribution network had revenues of approximately $75,000 in 2010 and operates from seven locations with 90 employees servicing its customer base. Products sold include Carrier's complete product line of HVAC equipment and commercial refrigeration products and supplies servicing both the residential and applied commercial markets.

In April 2010, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of a wholesale distributor of air conditioning and heating products operating from two locations in Tennessee for cash consideration of $2,406.

The results of operations of these acquired locations have been included in the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements from the date of acquisition. The pro forma effect of the July 2011 and April 2010 acquisitions were not deemed significant to the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements.

Derivative Financial Instrument [Abstract]

Derivative Financial Instrument

3. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT

Periodically, we enter into interest rate swap agreements to reduce our exposure to interest rate risk from changing interest rates under our revolving credit agreements. Under the terms of the swap agreements, we agree to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable interest amounts calculated by reference to the notional principal amount. Any differences paid or received on our interest rate swap agreements are recognized as adjustments to interest expense over the life of each swap, thereby adjusting the effective interest rate on the underlying obligation. Financial instruments are not held or issued for trading purposes. In order to obtain hedge accounting treatment, any derivatives used for hedging purposes must be designated as, and effective as, a hedge of an identified risk exposure at the inception of the contract. Changes in the fair value of the derivative contract must be highly correlated with changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged item at inception of the hedge and over the life of the hedge contract. Accordingly, we record all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at their respective fair values. We record the change in the fair value of a derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge in other comprehensive income to the extent the derivative is effective and recognize the change in the statement of income when the hedged item affects earnings. Our interest rate hedge is designated as a cash flow hedge.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had one interest rate swap agreement in effect with a notional value of $10,000, maturing in October 2011. The swap agreement exchanges the variable rate of 30-day LIBOR to a fixed interest rate of 5.07%. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the hedging relationship was determined to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in cash flows.

The negative fair value of the derivative financial instrument was $42 and $399 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and is included, net of accrued interest, in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 4. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $17, net of deferred tax benefits of $10 and $238, net of deferred tax benefits of $146, respectively, was included in accumulated other comprehensive loss ("OCL") associated with the cash flow hedge.

The net change in OCL for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, reflected the reclassification of $77, net of income tax benefit of $48, $76, net of income tax benefit of $46, $228, net of income tax benefit of $139 and $225, net of income tax benefit of $138, respectively, of unrealized losses from accumulated OCL to current period earnings (recorded in interest expense, net in the condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income). The net unrealized loss recorded in accumulated OCL will be reclassified to earnings on a monthly basis as interest payments occur. We estimate that approximately $20 in unrealized losses on the derivative instrument accumulated in OCL are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next month using the current 30-day LIBOR-based receive rate (0.21% at September 30, 2011). See Note 5.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation, Claims and Assessments

We are involved in litigation incidental to the operation of our business. We vigorously defend all matters in which we or our subsidiaries are named defendants and, for insurable losses, maintain significant levels of insurance to protect against adverse judgments, claims or assessments that may affect us. Although the adequacy of existing insurance coverage or the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, based on the current information available, we do not believe the ultimate liability associated with any known claims or litigation in which we or our subsidiaries are involved will materially affect our financial condition or results of operations.

Self-Insurance

Self-insurance reserves are maintained relative to company-wide casualty insurance and health benefit programs. The level of exposure from catastrophic events is limited by the purchase of stop-loss and aggregate liability reinsurance coverage. When estimating the self-insurance liabilities and related reserves, management considers a number of factors, which include historical claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors and valuations provided by independent third-party actuaries. Management reviews its assumptions with its independent third-party actuaries to evaluate whether the self-insurance reserves are adequate. If actual claims or adverse development of loss reserves occur and exceed these estimates, additional reserves may be required. The estimation process contains uncertainty since management must use judgment to estimate the ultimate cost that will be incurred to settle reported claims and unreported claims for incidents incurred but not reported as of the balance sheet date. Reserves in the amounts of $5,899 and $7,295 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, were established related to such insurance programs and are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Purchases from Carrier and its affiliates comprised 51%, 48%, 47% and 52% of all purchases made during the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, approximately $53,000 and $93,000, respectively, was payable to Carrier and its affiliates, net of receivables. Carrier Enterprise and Carrier Enterprise Northeast also sell HVAC products to Carrier and its affiliates.

We believe these transactions are conducted at arm's-length in the ordinary course of business.

Carrier Enterprise Northeast and Carrier Enterprise Mexico have entered into Transactional Services Agreements ("TSAs") with Carrier, pursuant to which Carrier performs certain business processes on their behalf, including processes involving the use of certain information technologies. The services provided by Carrier pursuant to the TSAs terminate on various dates through July 31, 2012 but may be extended as agreed upon by the parties. The fees related to the TSAs were $148 and $296 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income.

The services previously provided by Carrier pursuant to TSAs with Carrier Enterprise terminated on various dates throughout 2010. The fees related to these TSAs were $2,227 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income. The final purchase price for Carrier Enterprise was subject to an adjustment pursuant to the related purchase and contribution agreement, of which $1,418 was paid to Carrier during the quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Basis Of Presentation

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Consolidation

Watsco, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, "Watsco," which may be referred to as we, us or our) was incorporated in 1956 and is the largest distributor of air conditioning, heating and refrigeration equipment and related parts and supplies ("HVAC/R") in the HVAC/R distribution industry. The accompanying Watsco September 30, 2011 interim condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements herein. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements contained in this report include the accounts of Watsco and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and include the accounts of two joint ventures in which Watsco maintains a 60% controlling interest (see Notes 7 and 8). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011. Sales of residential central air conditioners, heating equipment and parts and supplies are seasonal. Furthermore, results of operations can be impacted favorably or unfavorably based on weather patterns during the summer and winter selling seasons. Demand related to the residential central air conditioning replacement market is typically highest in the second and third quarters, and demand for heating equipment is usually highest in the fourth quarter. Demand related to the new construction sectors throughout most of the markets is fairly consistent during the year, except for dependence on housing completions and related weather and economic conditions.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Significant estimates include valuation reserves for accounts receivable, inventory and income taxes, reserves related to self-insurance programs and valuation of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets. While we believe that these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from such estimates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables

On January 1, 2011, we adopted accounting guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") that amended the criteria for allocating a contract's consideration to individual services or products in multiple deliverable arrangements. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements.

Fair Value Measurement Disclosures

On January 1, 2011, we adopted accounting guidance issued by the FASB that required new disclosures about significant transfers between Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements, including the reason for such transfers, and also required information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of Level 3 fair value measurements. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements.

Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses

On January 1, 2011, we adopted accounting guidance issued by the FASB that required new disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and their allowance for credit losses. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements because we do not have any financing receivables.

Goodwill Impairment Testing

On January 1, 2011, we adopted accounting guidance issued by the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") of the FASB requiring that Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test be performed in circumstances where a reporting unit has a zero or negative carrying amount for which qualitative factors exist that indicate that goodwill may be impaired. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements.

Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations

On January 1, 2011, we adopted accounting guidance issued by the EITF requiring pro forma financial information for business combinations to be presented as if the business combination occurred at the beginning of the prior annual reporting period when calculating both the current reporting period and the prior reporting period. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements. See Note 7.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Presentation of Comprehensive Income

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income that allows an entity to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. The new guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of shareholders' equity. This guidance will be applied retrospectively and will be effective for our interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We will adopt this guidance on January 1, 2012 and expect to add new primary consolidated statements of other comprehensive income which will immediately follow our consolidated statements of income to our filings when applicable.

Goodwill Impairment Testing

In September 2011, the FASB amended the guidance on the annual testing of goodwill for impairment. The amended guidance will allow companies to assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that goodwill might be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test required under current accounting standards. This guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

We carry various assets and liabilities at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Fair value measurements are classified based on the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2	Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or model-driven valuations or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3	Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect our own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following tables present our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the levels of inputs used to measure fair value:

Description	Fair Value at September 30, 2011		Fair Value Measurements at September 30, 2011 Using
			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets:
Available-for-sale securities	$	124	$	124		—		—
Liabilities:
Derivative financial instrument	$	42		—	$	42		—
Description	Fair Value at December 31, 2010		Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2010 Using
			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets:
Available-for-sale securities	$	157	$	157		—		—
Liabilities:
Derivative financial instrument	$	399		—	$	399		—

The following is a description of the valuation techniques used for these assets and liabilities, as well as the level of input used to measure fair value:

Available-for-sale securities – the investments are exchange-traded equity securities. Fair values for these investments are based on quoted prices in active markets and are therefore classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of available-for-sale securities is included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Derivative financial instrument – the derivative is a pay-variable, receive fixed interest rate swap based on 30-day LIBOR. Fair value is based on model-derived valuations using the respective LIBOR rate, which is observed at quoted intervals for the full term of the swap and incorporates adjustments to appropriately reflect our nonperformance risk and the counterparty's nonperformance risk. Therefore, the derivative is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the derivative financial instrument is included, net of accrued interest, in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 3.

Revolving Credit Agreements [Abstract]

Revolving Credit Agreements

6. REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENTS

Watsco Revolving Credit Agreement

We maintain a bank-syndicated, unsecured revolving credit agreement that provides for borrowings of up to $300,000. Borrowings are used to fund seasonal working capital needs and for other general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, dividends, stock repurchases and issuances of letters of credit. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $75,000 and $10,000 were outstanding under this revolving credit agreement, respectively. The credit agreement matures in August 2012 and, accordingly, borrowings outstanding under the credit agreement are classified as current liabilities in our condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheet at September 30, 2011. We have obtained indicative term sheets at competitive rates and terms and intend to refinance this bank-syndicated, unsecured revolving credit agreement prior to its maturity however, there is no assurance that we will be able to refinance with the same terms and conditions.

The revolving credit agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants including financial covenants with respect to consolidated leverage and interest coverage ratios and limits capital expenditures, dividends and share repurchases in addition to other restrictions. We believe we were in compliance with all covenants and financial ratios at September 30, 2011.

Carrier Enterprise Revolving Credit Agreement

Carrier Enterprise, LLC ("Carrier Enterprise"), in which we have a 60% controlling interest and Carrier Corporation ("Carrier") has a 40% noncontrolling interest, maintains a separate bank-syndicated, secured revolving credit agreement that provides for borrowings of up to $125,000. Effective July 1, 2011, Carrier Enterprise's standard payment terms with Carrier for inventory purchases accelerated. As a result of this change, on July 26, 2011 we amended the revolving credit agreement to increase available borrowings to $125,000 from $75,000. All other terms and conditions of the credit facility remained the same. Borrowings under the credit facility are used by Carrier Enterprise for general corporate purposes, including working capital and permitted acquisitions. The credit facility is secured by substantially all tangible and intangible assets of Carrier Enterprise. At September 30, 2011, $40,000 was outstanding under this revolving credit agreement. No borrowings were outstanding under this credit facility at December 31, 2010. The credit agreement matures in July 2012 and, accordingly, borrowings outstanding are classified as current liabilities in our condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheet at September 30, 2011. We have obtained indicative term sheets at competitive rates and terms and intend to refinance, on an unsecured basis, Carrier Enterprise's bank-syndicated revolving credit agreement prior to its maturity however, there is no assurance that we will be able to refinance with the same terms and conditions.

The revolving credit agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and representations and warranties, including compliance with a monthly borrowing base certificate with advance rates on accounts receivable and inventory, two financial covenants with respect to Carrier Enterprise's leverage and interest coverage ratios and limitations on the level of capital expenditures and cash distributions in addition to other restrictions. We believe Carrier Enterprise was in compliance with all covenants and financial ratios at September 30, 2011.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

We compute earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Shares of our non-vested (restricted) stock are considered participating securities because these awards contain a non-forfeitable right to dividends irrespective of whether the awards ultimately vest. Under the two-class method, earnings per common share for our Common and Class B common stock is computed by dividing the sum of distributed earnings to common shareholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common and Class B common stock outstanding for the period. In applying the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated to Common stock, Class B common stock and participating securities based on the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted earnings per share for our Common stock assumes the conversion of all of our Class B common stock into Common stock as of the beginning of the fiscal year and adjusts for the dilutive effects of outstanding stock options using the treasury stock method. As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, our outstanding Class B common stock was convertible into 2,853,096 and 2,858,592 shares of our Common stock, respectively.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for our Common and Class B common stock:

Less: distributed and undistributed earnings allocated to non-vested (restricted) common stock		2,293		1,833		5,101		4,178
Earnings allocated to Watsco, Inc. shareholders	$	31,254	$	29,604	$	71,969	$	66,137

The diluted earnings per share calculation assumes the conversion of all of our Class B common stock into Common stock as of the beginning of the period; therefore, no allocation of earnings to Class B common stock is required.

Basis Of Presentation [Abstract]

Basis Of Consolidation

Basis of Consolidation

Watsco, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, "Watsco," which may be referred to as we, us or our) was incorporated in 1956 and is the largest distributor of air conditioning, heating and refrigeration equipment and related parts and supplies ("HVAC/R") in the HVAC/R distribution industry. The accompanying Watsco September 30, 2011 interim condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements herein. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements contained in this report include the accounts of Watsco and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and include the accounts of two joint ventures in which Watsco maintains a 60% controlling interest (see Notes 7 and 8). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011. Sales of residential central air conditioners, heating equipment and parts and supplies are seasonal. Furthermore, results of operations can be impacted favorably or unfavorably based on weather patterns during the summer and winter selling seasons. Demand related to the residential central air conditioning replacement market is typically highest in the second and third quarters, and demand for heating equipment is usually highest in the fourth quarter. Demand related to the new construction sectors throughout most of the markets is fairly consistent during the year, except for dependence on housing completions and related weather and economic conditions.

Use Of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Significant estimates include valuation reserves for accounts receivable, inventory and income taxes, reserves related to self-insurance programs and valuation of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets. While we believe that these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from such estimates.
