EN POINTE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GENERAL INFORMATION

In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated balance 
sheet of En Pointe Technologies, Inc. (the "Company" or "En Pointe") at 
December 31, 1998, and the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of 
income and unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the 
interim periods ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 include all adjustments 
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly 
these financial statements.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial 
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles have been condensed or omitted. The year-end balance sheet data 
was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include 
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.  Operating 
results for the three months ended December 31, 1998 are not necessarily 
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 
30, 1999. It is suggested that these condensed statements be read in 
conjunction with the Company's most recent Form 10-K and Annual Report as of 
September 30, 1998.  

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles requires Management to make certain estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and 
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial 
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the 
reported period. Significant estimates in these financial statements include 
allowances for uncollectible accounts receivable and for unreimbursed product 
returns and the net realizable value of rebates. Actual results could differ 
from those estimates.

This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements which involve risks and 
uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ significantly from the 
results discussed in the forward-looking statements and their inclusion 
should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person 
that the objectives or plans will be achieved.  Factors that might cause such 
a difference include, but are not limited to, competitive, technological, 
financial and business challenges making it more difficult than expected to 
continue to sell information technology products and services.  The Company 
may be unable to retain existing key sales, technical and management 
personnel; there may be other material adverse changes in the information 
technology industry or in the Company's operations or business, and any or 
all of these factors may affect the Company's ability to continue its current 
rate of sales growth or may result in lower sales volume than currently 
experienced.

Certain important factors affecting the forward-looking statements made 
herein include, but are not limited to (I) A Significant portion of the 
Company's sales continuing to be to certain large customers, (II) Continued 
dependence by the Company on certain Allied Distributors, (III) Continued 
downward pricing pressures in the information technology market, (IV) The 
decision by the Company to expand its sales force into various new geographic 
territories (V) Quarterly fluctuations in results (VI) Seasonal patterns of 
sales and client buying behaviors (VII) Changing economic influences in the 
industry  (VIII) The development by competitors of new or superior delivery 
technologies or entry in the market by new competitors (IX) Dependence on 
intellectual property rights  (X)Delays in product development (XI)The 
company's dependence on key personnel, and potential influence by executive 

                                       6
<PAGE>

officers and principal stockholders (XII) Volatility of the company's stock 
price (XIII) Delays in the receipt of orders or in the shipment of products  
(XIV) Any delay in execution of the company's system development plans (XV) 
Loss of minority ownership status (XVI) Planned or unplanned changes in the 
quantity and/or quality of the suppliers available for the company's products 
(XVII) Changes in the costs or availability of products (XVIII) Interruptions 
in transport or distribution  (XIX) General business conditions in the 
economy. Assumptions relating to budgeting, marketing, and other management 
decisions are subjective in many respects and thus susceptible to 
interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and 
business developments, the impact of which may cause the Company to alter its 
marketing, capital expenditure or other budgets, which may in turn affect the 
Company's business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows. 
The reader is therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on 
forward-looking statements contained herein and to consider other risks 
detailed more fully in the Company's most recent Form 10-K and Annual Report 
as of September 30, 1998.

NOTE 2 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Effective October 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This 
Statement requires that companies disclose comprehensive income, which 
includes net income and unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities 
classified as available-for-sale. The unrealized gain of $1.6 million in 
marketable securities for the three months ended December 31, 1998 is net of 
a taxes of $1.1 million.

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a new 
Statement, SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and 
Related Information", which establishes new requirements for the reporting of 
segment information by public companies. It supersedes SFAS No. 14, Financial 
Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise, and is effective for the 
annual financial statements of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 
1997. The new framework for segment reporting is referred to as the 
management approach. It is intended to give analysts and other 
financial-statement users a view of the company "through the eyes of 
management", by looking to a company's internal management reporting 
structure as the basis for determining the company's external segments, as 
well as the basis for determining the information that is to be disclosed for 
those segments. The Company is currently assessing the impact this Statement 
will have on the consolidated financial statements.

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

The forward-looking statements included in Management's Discussion and 
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which reflect 
management's best judgment based on factors currently known, involve risks 
and uncertainties.  Actual results could differ materially from those 
anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of 
factors, including but not limited to those discussed below.  Forward-looking 
information provided by En Pointe pursuant to the safe harbor established by 
recent securities legislation should be evaluated in the context of these 
factors.

The following table sets forth certain financial data as a percentage of net 
sales for the periods indicated:

</TABLE>

COMPARISON OF THE FIRST QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 (FISCAL 1999) AND 
1997 (FISCAL 1998)

    NET  SALES.  Net  sales increased $40.4 million, or 31.0% to $170.6 in 
the first quarter of fiscal 1999 from $130.2 million in fiscal 1998.  The 
increase in sales was attributable to sales to new customers, increased sales 
to existing customers, and increased sales of value-added services. Four new 
branches contributed $9.2 million in net sales. Firstsource.com, an Internet 
business acquired in June of 1998, contributed $4.7 million for the quarter. 

    Services revenues increased $2.4 million, or 88.6% to $5.0 million in the 
first quarter of fiscal 1999 from $2.6 million in the prior fiscal year quarter
and were 2.9% of total net sales versus 2.0% in the prior fiscal year 
quarter.  Sales under the IBM contract accounted for 17.9% of total sales in 
the first quarter of fiscal 1999 compared with 24.0% for the prior fiscal year
quarter.

    GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profits remained constant at $13.4 million, but 
declined as a percentage of net sales to 7.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 
1999 as compared to 10.3% in prior fiscal year quarter and 8.7% in the prior 
sequential quarter.  Contributing to the decline in gross margins were two 
large sales approximating $14 million in total that were at substantially 
discounted profit margins.  In addition, Firstsource sales of $4.7 million 
also bore discounted profit margins. The Ontario configuration center also 
had an adverse impact on gross profits due to operations being at less than full
capacity.

    SELLING AND MARKETING EXPENSES.  Selling  and marketing  expenses 
increased $0.6 million, or 7.8% to $8.8 million in the first quarter of 
fiscal 1999, from $8.1 million in prior fiscal year quarter, primarily as a 
result of increased  net sales volume.  As a percentage of net sales, 
however, selling and marketing decreased to 5.1% in 1999 from 6.2% in 1998.

   GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE  EXPENSES.  General  and administrative  
expenses increased $0.9 million, or 33.3% to $3.9 million in the first 
quarter of fiscal 1999, from $3.0 million in the prior fiscal year quarter,
primarily as a result of hiring additional personnel necessary to support the 
increase in sales and other administrative duties.  As a percentage of net 
sales, however, general and administrative expenses held firm at 2.3% for 
both fiscal periods as well as for the prior sequential quarter. 

                                       8
<PAGE>


    OPERATING INCOME.  Operating income decreased $1.6 million, or 70.6%, to 
$0.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 from $2.3 million in prior 
fiscal year quarter.  The decrease was primarily a result of flattening of gross
profit margins which were insufficient to cover the increase in operating 
expenses resulting from the increase in sales volume. Operating income, as a 
percent of net sales, declined to 0.4% in the first fiscal quarter of 1999 
from 1.8% in the 1998 fiscal quarter.

    INTEREST  EXPENSE.  Interest expense increased $0.4 million, or 100.2% to 
$0.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 from $0.4 million in the 
prior fiscal quarter. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to 
increased borrowing under lines of credit, which at the end of the first 
quarter of fiscal 1999 had increased $27.5 million or 53.4%.  The borrowing 
was used primarily to fund the $34.8 million (42.8%) growth in accounts 
receivable. 

    NET  INCOME.  Net income decreased $1.2 million, to a net loss of $87 
thousand in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 from $1.1 million in the prior 
fiscal quarter. The decrease in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 was 
primarily a result of flattening of gross profit margins which were 
insufficient to cover the $1.6 million (14.6%) increase in operating expenses 
resulting from the increase in sales volume.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
    During the three months ended December 31, 1998 operating activities used 
cash totaling $1.7 million compared to $1.5 million used in the prior fiscal 
year.  The largest consumer of cash was the growth of accounts receivable 
related to the Company's sales expansion.  In the first quarter of fiscal 
1999, $14.1 million in cash was so expended, while only $4.6 million was used 
in the prior fiscal quarter.  Historically, the Company has satisfied its 
accounts receivable cash requirements principally by borrowings under its 
lines of credit.   The Company's accounts receivable balance (before 
allowances for returns, price protection, and doubtful accounts) at December 
31, 1998 and September 30, 1998,  was $118.1  million and $103.9 million, 
respectively. The number of days' sales outstanding in accounts  receivable 
increased to 62 days from 58 days, as of December 31, 1998  and September 30, 
1998, respectively.

    At December 31, 1998, restricted cash amounted to $1.4 million and 
related principally to unexpended funds from the $3.5 million of equipment 
financing targeted for the Ontario integration, repair, and RMA facility.  It 
is anticipated that the remaining restricted funds will be applied against 
the $3.5 million indebtedness included in notes payable.

    Investing activities used cash totaling $0.3 million during the three 
months ended December 31, 1998 compared with $1.6 million in the prior fiscal 
quarter.  Warehouse equipment for the Ontario facility and computer related 
purchases were the principal uses for the $0.3 million in expenditures.

    Financing activities provided net cash totaling $1.4 million during the 
three months ended December 31, 1998.  Two long-term notes at 8% due on 
September 30, 2000 and 2001 from IBMCC for $1 million each provided the 
majority of the financing cash flow.

   As of December 31, 1998, the Company had approximately $4.1 million in 
cash, including  $1.4 million in restricted cash, and working capital of 
$24.2 million. The Company has several revolving credit facilities 
collateralized by accounts receivable and all other assets of the Company, 
including a $73 million line with IBMCC.  As of December 31, 1998, such lines 
of credit provided for maximum aggregate borrowings of approximately  $105.0 
million, of which approximately $79.1 million was outstanding. 

                                       9
<PAGE>


   Outstanding borrowings under the IBMCC line of credit bears interest at 
prime less .25%. The line of credit is automatically renewable on an annual 
basis unless notification of an election not to renew is made by either the 
Company or creditor on or prior to the annual renewal date.  Borrowings are 
collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets.  In addition, 
the line of credit contains certain financing and operating covenants 
relating to net worth, liquidity, profitability, repurchase of indebtedness 
and prohibition on payment of dividends, as well as restrictions on the use 
of proceeds obtained under the line. The Company has obtained a waiver for 
non-compliance with certain IBMCC loan covenants at December 31, 1998.

    Because of a planned reduction in the scope of operations of the Ontario 
configuration facility the Company believes that it will not be able to 
recover all of the costs associated with its construction.  As a result, the 
Company plans to sell and lease back the facility and in doing so anticipates 
a non-recurring charge of approximately $5.5 to $6.5 million in connection 
with the sale.  Because the plan has not been implemented, it is not possible 
to quantify the financial impact or its timing.

    The Firstsource.com acquisition made in June of 1998 was the Company's 
entry into the rapid growth Internet sales arena. Typical of Internet sales 
operations, Firstsource.com for the quarter ended December 31, 1998 realized 
a loss of $0.4 million.  With the significant investment required to 
fully launch Firstsource before it can reach a break even point, the Company 
believes that a strategic relationship with one or more financial investors 
will be necessary and is actively pursuing that course.

YEAR 2000

    The Company is aware of the issues associated with the programming code 
in existing computer systems as the year 2000 approaches.  The "Year 2000" 
problem is concerned with whether computer systems will properly recognize 
date sensitive information when the year changes to 2000.  Systems that do 
not properly recognize such information could generate erroneous data or 
cause a system to fail.  The Year 2000 problems are pervasive and complex as 
virtually every company's computer operations may be affected in some way.  
As a result of the Company's analysis of its computer programs and operations,
it has reached the conclusion that its own business systems, including its 
computer systems are not fully prepared for Year 2000 although management 
believes that corrections planned by the Company will not seriously impact or 
have a material adverse effect on the Company's expenses, business, including 
data gathering and interpretation, or its operations.

    It is possible, however, that "Year 2000" problems incurred by the 
customers or suppliers of the Company could have a negative impact on future 
operations and financial performance of the Company, although the Company has 
not been able to specifically identify any such problems among its suppliers. 
The Company believes that it will not be dependent upon any single supplier 
or customer for its equipment or supplies or sales in the Year 2000; it has 
contacted its primary suppliers to determine if they are developing plans to 
address processing transactions which may impact the Company. Furthermore, 
the Year 2000 problem may impact other entities with which the Company 
transacts business and the Company cannot predict the effect of the Year 2000 
problem on such entities or the resulting effect on the Company. The Company 
has not yet developed a contingency plan to operate in the event that any 
non-compliant customer or supplier systems that materially impact the Company 
are not remedied in a timely manner and has not yet determined a time table 
for developing such a plan. As a result, if preventative and/or corrective 
actions by the Company or those entities with which the Company does business 
are not made in a timely manner, the Year 2000 issue could have a material 
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of 
operations. However, based on its analysis to date, the expenses of the 
Company's efforts to identify and address such problems, or the expenses or 
liabilities to which the Company may become subject as a result of such 
problems, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's 
business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. As well, 
the purchasing patterns of existing and potential customers may be affected 
by Year 2000 problems, which could cause fluctuations in the Company's sales 
volumes.
