               MULTIPLE ZONES INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the
three and six months periods ended June 30, 1996 are unaudited and reflect all
normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary
for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for the
interim period. The results of operations for such interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending December
31, 1996. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's
Prospectus dated June 27, 1996.

2.       INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

         On July 2, 1996, the Company issued 2,200,000 shares of Common Stock at
$12.00 per share in an initial public offering. On July 12, 1996, an additional
330,000 shares were issued pursuant to the underwriters' over-allotment option.
The proceeds to the Company were $27,237,473, net of the underwriting discount
and other direct expenses of $3,122,527. The pro forma information presented on
the balance sheet has been adjusted to give effect to the conversion of all
outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock to 918,711 shares of Common Stock
upon consummation of the offering, sale of the 2,530,000 shares of Common Stock
and application of the net proceeds of the offering.

3.       EARNINGS PER SHARE

         Earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of
common and dilutive common equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive
common equivalents consist of stock options and warrants. The accretion relating
to the Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred
Stock") is deducted from income only in the calculation of primary earnings per
share. Fully diluted earnings per share assumes the conversion of Series B
Preferred Stock to Common Stock. Common and common equivalent shares issued at
prices below the public offering price during the 12 months preceding the
offering date have been included in the calculation as if they were outstanding
for all periods presented. The calculation uses the treasury stock method in
determining the resulting incremental weighted average equivalent shares
outstanding.

Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995

Net Sales. Net sales increased 119.3% to $111.4 million in the three months
ended June 30, 1996 from $50.8 million in the comparable period. The increase
resulted primarily from an increase in domestic hardware sales to 82.0% of gross
sales in the three months ended June 30, 1996 from 69.5% in the comparable
period. The increase in hardware sales contributed to a 31.1% increase between
periods in domestic average order size to $388 from $296. Also contributing to
the increase in net sales was an increase in orders due primarily to higher
catalogue circulation, which grew to 9.1 million in the three months ended June
30, 1996, an increase of 25.5% over the comparable period. International
subsidiary net sales in the three months ended June 30, 1996 were $13.5 million,
an increase of 145.5% over the comparable period primarily resulting from the
addition of subsidiaries in Austria, Germany and The Netherlands and sales
growth in the Company's operations in Denmark and France.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased to $15.4 million in the three months ended
June 30, 1996 from $6.5 million in the comparable period, and increased between
periods to 13.9% from 12.8% of net sales. Gross profit dollars increased due to
higher sales volumes generated by increases in orders and average order size.
The increase in gross margin percentage resulted from growth in higher-margin
product offerings and improved recovery of domestic freight costs, partially
offset by increased sales of hardware products and sales to business accounts,
which generally carry a lower average gross margin percentage.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expense increased to $11.0
million in the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $5.2 million in the
comparable period, but decreased between periods as a percentage of net sales to
9.9% from 10.2%. The dollar increase in SG&A expenses was primarily attributable
to an increase in transaction costs associated with higher sales volume, as well
as to increased administrative salaries. The decline in SG&A expenses as a
percentage of net sales resulted from the leveraging of SG&A expenses over a
larger sales base.

<PAGE>   10
Other Expense. Other expense increased to $518,000 in the three months ended
June 30, 1996 from $287,000 in the comparable period, primarily as a result of
higher interest expense related to higher levels of borrowing on the Company's
primary line of credit.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense increased in the three months ended June 30,
1996 to $1.4 million from $383,000 in the comparable prior period due to the
significant increase in profitability between periods.

Net Income. As a result of the above factors, net income increased to $2.4
million in the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $630,000 in the comparable
prior period.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995

Net Sales. Net sales increased 118.9% to $212.3 million in the six months ended
June 30, 1996 from $97.0 million in the comparable period. The increase resulted
primarily from an increase in hardware sales to 80.1% of gross sales in the six
months ended June 30, 1996 from 66.0% in the comparable period. The increase in
hardware sales contributed to a 39.2% increase between periods in average order
size to $362 from $260. Also contributing to the increase in net sales was an
increase in orders due primarily to higher catalogue circulation, which grew to
18.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 1996, an increase of 22.0% over
the comparable period. International subsidiary net sales in the six months
ended June 30, 1996 were $27.3 million, an increase of 155.1% over the
comparable period primarily resulting from the addition of subsidiaries in
Austria, Germany, Mexico and The Netherlands and sales growth in the Company's
operations in Denmark.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased to $29.4 million in the six months ended
June 30, 1996 from $12.8 million in the comparable period, and increased between
periods to 13.8% from 13.2% of net sales. Gross profit dollars increased due to
higher sales volumes generated by increases in orders and average order size.
The increase in gross margin percentage resulted from growth in higher-margin
product offerings and improved recovery of domestic freight costs, partially
offset by increased sales of hardware products and sales to business accounts,
which generally carry a lower average gross margin percentage.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expense increased to $21.1
million in the six months ended June 30, 1996 from $11.0 million in the
comparable period, but decreased between periods as a percentage of net sales to
10.0% from 11.3%. The dollar increase in SG&A expenses was primarily
attributable to an increase in transaction costs associated with higher sales
volume, as well as to increased administrative salaries, partially offset by a
decrease in net advertising expense. The decline in SG&A expenses as a
percentage of net sales resulted from a lower net advertising expense and the
leveraging of SG&A expenses over a larger sales base.

Other Expense. Other expense increased to $986,000 in the six months ended June
30, 1996 from $453,000 in the comparable period, primarily as a result of higher
interest expense related to higher levels of borrowing on the Company's primary
line of credit.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense increased in the six months ended June 30, 1996
to $2.7 million from $526,000 in the comparable prior period due to the
significant increase in profitability between periods.

Net Income. As a result of the above factors, net income increased to $4.6
million in the six months ended June 30, 1996 from $864,000 in the comparable
prior period.

SEASONALITY AND TRENDS

The Company believes that certain seasonal factors cause sales of microcomputer
software and hardware products through the direct marketing channel to be
somewhat stronger in the fourth and first calendar quarter than in the second
and third quarters. The fourth quarter tends to be stronger as manufacturers
make year-end introductions of new products and increase related marketing
activities, and as corporate 

                                       10
<PAGE>   11
purchasing activities increase at the end of the budgetary cycles. Sales in the
first quarter typically benefit from the fourth quarter sales as customers add
peripherals and additional memory products.

The market for microcomputer products is characterized by rapid change and
frequent introductions of new products and product enhancements. These changes
result in frequent price fluctuations. Typically, prices of microcomputers
initially increase with improvements in features, such as processing speed and
storage capacity, and subsequently decrease as manufacturers pass on savings
from lower-cost components and reduce their inventories of older models.

The Company's Apple Macintosh-compatible ("Mac") business was strong during the
first six months of 1996, growing 117.0% over the comparable 1995 period. Sales
of Mac products represented 71.9% and 72.8% of gross sales in the three months
and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, compared to 73.4% and 71.3% of
gross sales in the three and six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively. The
Company believes that the percentage of its sales represented by Mac products is
likely to decline gradually over time as a result of increasing acceptance of
the direct marketing channel by IBM-compatible ("PC") product manufacturers and
users, the Company's expanded focus on PC product sales, and its effort to
increase sales to business accounts which tend to be concentrated more heavily
on PC products. Apple Computer, Inc. has recently experienced a decline in CPU
sales, reflecting uncertainties in the Mac marketplace, as well as manufacturing
and product availability problems. Further decline in the demand for, or
availability of, Apple or other Mac products could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's future results of operations.

The Company intends to place larger inventory stocking orders, increase
participation in first-to-market, continue end-of-life-cycle purchase
opportunities and market more products on a private-label basis, all of which
increase the risk of inventory obsolescence. To reduce this risk, the Company
has agreements with many vendors containing provisions whereby vendors supply
price protection and product return privileges, subject to some limitations.
End-of-life-cycle products are typically acquired without return privileges.

The Company does not believe that inflation has had a material impact on its
results of operations. However, there can be no assurance that inflation will
not have such an effect in future periods.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In July 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering of its Common
Stock resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $27.2 million. On July 2,
1996, the Company paid off bank debts totaling $20.8 million by using funds
generated by its initial public offering. The remaining proceeds have been
invested in cash equivalents and will be used for future operating cash needs.

As of June 30, 1996, the Company had total assets of $94.2 million, of which
$86.5 million were current assets. At June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 the
Company had cash and cash equivalents of $523,000 and $1.2 million,
respectively, and working capital of $10.4 million and $7.8 million,
respectively. Net cash used in operating activities was $10.5 million and $6.2
million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Cash
outflows in these periods were primarily due to higher accounts receivable
resulting from growing sales to business accounts, and to investment in
increased inventories necessary to support rapidly growing sales. In the six
months ended June 30, 1996 and in 1995 accounts receivable increased by $10.3
million and $6.8 million, respectively, and inventories increased by $5.3
million and $3.6 million, respectively.

Cash outlays for capital expenditures were $1.5 million and $547,000 in the six
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. In addition, the Company
incurred capital lease obligations during the six months ended June 30, 1996 and
1995 of $29,000 and $710,000, respectively. These expenditures were primarily
for information and telecommunication system enhancements, furniture and
equipment, and leasehold improvements. The Company estimates that its annualized
capital expenditures in 1996 will approximate $6.0 million, as it continues to
make other investments in its infrastructure to support its anticipated growth, 


                                       11
<PAGE>   12
including the relocation of its corporate headquarters and telemarketing
operations to a larger facility.

The Company has a revolving line of credit of $25.0 million from a commercial
bank collateralized by inventories and accounts receivable. At June 30, 1996,
there were borrowings outstanding under the facility of $19.9 million, in
addition to $3.4 million of unused letters of credit.

The net amount of vendor credit outstanding at June 30, 1996 was $46.4 million.
A portion of this vendor credit was drawn from a $25.0 million inventory
financing facility between the Company and a commercial lender, which provides
financing for and is collateralized by inventory purchased from certain
participating vendors. Outstanding advances under the facility totaled $12.1
million at June 30, 1996.

The Company believes that its existing available cash and cash equivalents,
operating cash flow and existing credit facilities will be sufficient to satisfy
its operating cash needs for at least the next 12 months. However, if working
capital or other capital requirements are greater than currently anticipated,
the Company could be required to seek additional funds through sales of equity,
debt or convertible securities or increased credit facilities. There can be no
assurance that additional financing will be available or that, if available, the
financing will be on terms favorable to the Company and its shareholders.
