                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - GENERAL

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been 
prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of SEC Regulation S-X.  Consequently, 
they do not include all the disclosures required under generally accepted 
accounting principles for complete financial statements.  However, in the 
opinion of the management of Miami Computer Supply Corporation (the 
"Company"), the consolidated financial statements presented herein contain 
all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary 
to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash 
flows of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.  For further 
information regarding the Company's accounting policies and the basis of 
presentation of the financial statements, refer to the consolidated financial 
statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 
the year ended December 31, 1996.

NOTE 2 - ORGANIZATION

The Company sells a wide variety of computer supplies to corporate customers, 
governmental agencies, universities, hospitals and, to a lesser extent, 
computer supply dealers.  Its primary sales products include laser toner, ink 
jet cartridges, printer ribbons, computer tape cartridges, diskettes, 
presentation products, paper supplies and printer cartridges.

NOTE 3 - ACQUISITION OF DDP

Effective May 30, 1996, Pittsburgh Investment Group, LLC ("LLC") contributed 
its stock in Diversified Data Products, Inc. ("DDP") to the Company. The 
acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, 
and accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets based 
upon the fair value of the liabilities assumed as of May 30, 1996.

In connection with the acquisition of DDP, LLC issued a loan to certain 
former stockholders in an amount of $250,000.  This amount was subject to 
repayment based upon DDP generating specified income levels for the period 
May 30, 1996 to December 31, 1996.  DDP generated such income levels for this 
period, and accordingly the loan was forgiven.  The value of the assets 
acquired has been adjusted to reflect this additional consideration.

The operating results of DDP have been included in the statement of 
operations from the date of acquisition. The following unaudited pro forma 
information has been prepared assuming that this acquisition had taken place 
at the beginning of the respective period. This pro forma financial 
information is presented for informational purposes only and may not be 
indicative of what the actual results of operations might have been if the 
acquisition had been effective at the beginning of 1996.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information 
contained in the (unaudited) Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to 
Consolidated Financial Statements. The following information contains 
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities 
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act") and is subject to the safe harbor 
created by that Act. The words "estimate," "project," "anticipate," "expect," 
"intend," "believe," "plans" and similar expressions are intended to identify 
forward-looking statements. Because such forward-looking statements involve 
risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause actual 
results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such 
forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ 
materially include, but are not limited to, changes in general economic and 
business conditions, the availability of capital on acceptable terms, actions 
of competitors, and changes in business strategies and other factors as 
discussed in Exhibit 99.

The Company has completed three acquisitions of computer supply and office 
automation dealers in 1997 as follows:

1.   On April 30, 1997 the Company acquired IDS headquartered in Spokane, 
Washington with offices in Idaho and Montana.  IDS's approximated annualized 
revenues as of the closing date were $7 million.  The net profit for the two 
months included in the second quarter 1997 were nominal.   The acquisition 
included $1.7 million in goodwill.

2.   On July 1, 1997 the Company acquired DA headquartered in Roswell, 
Georgia with offices in Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina.  DA's 
approximate annualized revenues as of the closing date were $9 million.  

3.   On July 15, 1997 the Company acquired Force 4 headquartered in Portland, 
Oregon with offices in Illinois, Washington and Utah.  Force 4's approximate 
annualized revenues as of the closing date were $14 million.

The Company intends to continue its aggressive acquisition strategy of 
entering new markets domestically and internationally on an opportunistic 
basis, to acquire computer and office automation supply distribution 
companies and to hire certain experienced sales representatives in and 
outside of the Company's current market areas, some of whom may be 
constrained from working in their present locations for a period of time.  
The Company actively continues to evaluate other potential acquisitions and 
to identify and have preliminary discussions and negotiations with potential 
acquisition candidates. There can be no assurance that any acquisition can or 
will be consummated on terms favorable to the Company.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

NET SALES. Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1997 increased by 
$8.4 million, or 61.6%, to $22.1 million from $13.7 million for the three 
months ended June 30, 1996.  Approximately 79.5% of the increase resulted 
from the acquisition of DDP on May 30, 1996 and 11.9% from the acquisition of 
IDS on April 30, 1997. The remaining increase was primarily a result of 
increased sales to the Company's current customer base.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 1997 increased 
by $1.3 million, or 50.9% to $3.9 million from $2.6 million for the three 
months ended June 30, 1996.  Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for 
the three months ended June 30, 1997 was 17.5% compared to 18.7% for the 
three months ended June 30, 1996. The decrease in the gross profit percentage 
was due primarily to the acquisition of DDP which has lower operating gross 
margins primarily due to volume discounts associated with sales to other 
computer supply dealers.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling, general and 
administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1997 increased by 
$0.9 million, or 41.2% to $3.0 million from $2.1 million for the three months 
ended June 30, 1996.  Approximately 45.9% of the increase resulted from 
increased salary expenses, while 14.6% was due to increased commission 
expense resulting from the Company's increased sales volume. The remainder of 
the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses resulted 
primarily from the acquisition of DDP and IDS.  As a percentage of net sales, 
selling, general and administrative expenses were 13.7% for the three months 
ended June 30, 1997 compared to 15.7% for the three months ended June 30, 
1996. This decrease as a percentage of sales reflects the Company's ability 
to support increased sales volumes without a significant increase in its 
overhead structure.

OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 1997 
increased by $0.4 million to $0.8 million from $0.4 million for the three 
months ended June 30, 1996 for the reasons stated above.

INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1997 
decreased by $51,936 or 68.7% to $23,713 from $75,649 for the three months 
ended June 30, 1996 due primarily to the decreased level of indebtedness 
during 1997.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes for the three 
months ended June 30, 1997 increased $190,183 to $328,680 from $138,497 for 
the three months ended June 30, 1996.  The Company's effective tax rate was 
40.5% for the three months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to 41.5% for the 
corresponding period of the prior year.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

NET SALES. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1997 increased by 
$16.1 million, or 61.4%, to $42.3 million from $26.2 million for the six 
months ended June 30, 1996.  Approximately 82.7% of the increase resulted 
from the acquisition of DDP on May 30, 1996 and 6% of such increase was due 
to the acquisition of IDS on April 30, 1997.  The remaining increase was 
primarily a result of increased sales to the Company's current customer base.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 1997 increased 
by $2.3 million, or 44.4% to $7.3 million from $5.1 million for the six 
months ended June 30, 1996.  Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for 
the six months ended June 30, 1997 was

                                       7
<PAGE>

17.3% compared to 19.4% for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The decrease 
in the gross profit percentage was due primarily to the acquisition of DDP 
which has lower operating gross margins primarily due to volume discounts 
associated with sales to other computer supply dealers.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling, general and 
administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1997 increased by 
$1.7 million, or 42.7% to $5.7 million from $4.0 million for the six months 
ended June 30, 1996.  Approximately 39.7% of the increase resulted from 
increased salary expenses, while 12.3% was due to increased commission 
expense resulting from the Company's increased sales volume. The remainder of 
the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses resulted 
primarily from the acquisition of DDP and IDS.   As a percentage of net 
sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 13.6% for the six 
months ended June 30, 1997 compared to 15.4% for the six months ended June 
30, 1996. This decrease as a percentage of sales reflects the Company's 
ability to support increased sales volumes without a significant increase in 
its overhead structure.

OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 
increased by $0.5 million to $1.6 million from $1.1 million for the six 
months ended June 30, 1996 for the reasons stated above.

INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1997 
decreased by $118,003 or 82.8% to $24,584 from $142,587 for the six months 
ended June 30, 1996 due primarily to the decreased level of indebtedness 
during 1997.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes for the six months 
ended June 30, 1997 increased $260,433 to $642,512 from $382,079 for the six 
months ended June 30, 1996.  The Company's effective tax rate was 40.5% for 
the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to 41.5% for the corresponding 
period of the prior year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash flows used in operating activities totaled $0.6 million for the 
first six months of 1997 compared to $0.2 million used by operating 
activities during the first six months of 1996. The change in net cash flows 
from operating activities in the first six months of 1997, compared to the 
first six months of 1996, was due primarily to an decrease in accounts 
payable. Working capital approximated $10.2 million at June 30, 1997 and 
December 31, 1996.

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.2 million for the six months 
ended June 30, 1997 versus $0.04 million cash provided by investing 
activities for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The net cash used in 
investing activities primarily reflects the acquisition of IDS in April 1997. 
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $1.1 million for the six 
months ended June 30, 1997 compared with $0.2 million for the six months 
ended June 30, 1996. This increase was due primarily to increased borrowing 
levels under the Credit Facility.

Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 1997 of $166,015 were 
used primarily to upgrade the computer system at DDP and the purchase of 
additional distribution vehicles. 

For fiscal year 1997, the Company expects capital expenditures of 
approximately $0.3 million (comprised of approximately $0.2 million to be 
used for upgrading and enhancing the Company's management information systems 
and approximately $0.1 million for capital maintenance items).  
Actual expenditures for fiscal 1997 may be greater than budgeted amounts 
depending on the level of acquisition activity and other factors.

The Company believes that its cash on hand, borrowing capacity under the 
Credit Facility, capital resources and cash flows will be sufficient to fund 
its ongoing operations and budgeted capital expenditures for the remainder of 
1997, although actual capital needs may change, particularly in connection 
with acquisitions which the Company may make in the future. The Company's 
long-term requirements including capital expenditures and acquisitions, are 
expected to be financed by a combination of internally generated funds, 
additional borrowings and other sources of external financing as needed.

CREDIT FACILITY

On September 11, 1996, the Company increased the amount of its line-of-credit 
with National City Bank of Dayton, Ohio (the "Bank") from $6,500,000 to 
$15,000,000 in order to facilitate the planned expansion of the Company's 
business activities, including acquisitions. The amount of the Credit 
Facility that will be available to the Company may not exceed the lesser of 
$15.0 million or an amount equal to the sum of: (i) 85.0% of the net book 
value of all eligible receivables (i.e., those receivables less than 90 days 
old, except that all receivables from any particular customer will be 
ineligible if more than 15.0% of the total due from such customer are aged 90 
days or more) plus (ii) an amount equal to the lesser of either 50.0% of the 
value of all inventory, not to exceed 45.0% of the

                                       8
<PAGE>

aggregate unpaid principal balance less the amount secured by inventory 
acquired by the Company from Hewlett-Packard Company and not yet paid for, or 
if advances are made against foreign accounts receivables, not to exceed $2.0 
million (the "Borrowing Base"). Under the Credit Facility, the Company's 
borrowing availability at June 30, 1997 approximated $9.3 million. At June 
30, 1997, $1.3 million was outstanding under the Credit Facility.

The Borrowing Base may be changed by the Bank, in its sole discretion, from 
time to time. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, at the 
Company's option, (i) on amounts in excess of $500,000, at the applicable 
London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") per annum determined by the Bank plus 
2.0%, adjustable at the end of each contract period (one, two, three, four or 
six months), as defined in the Credit Facility, or (ii) at the Bank's 
applicable prime rate (as defined in the Credit Facility). Interest on the 
Credit Facility is payable in arrears on the last day of each month and at 
maturity, except that interest on loans bearing interest utilizing the LIBOR 
option is payable on the last day of the contract period and at maturity, 
unless the contract period is longer than 90 days in which case interest is 
payable every three months.

The indebtedness under the Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of 
the assets of the Company, including accounts receivable, equipment and 
inventory. In addition, the Credit Facility requires that the Company 
maintain a tangible net worth of $3.2 million in 1997 and thereafter 
increasing by an amount equal to 50.0% of the Company's net income annually 
thereafter, maintain a debt to tangible net worth ratio of 450.0% and annual 
pre-tax interest coverage (net income plus interest expense plus income tax) 
of 150.0% or more of the Company's annual interest expense. The Company was, 
at June 30, 1997 and is as of the date hereof, in compliance with these 
financial covenants.

EXHIBIT 99

             SAFE HARBOR UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION
                              REFORM ACT OF 1995


The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act") provides a 
"safe harbor" for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to 
provide prospective information about their companies, so long as those 
statements are identified as forward-looking and are accompanied by 
meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could 
cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the 
statement. The Company desires to take advantage of the "safe harbor" 
provisions of the Act. Certain information, particularly information 
regarding future economic performance and finances and plans and objectives 
of management, contained, or incorporated by references, in the Company's 
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for six months ended June 30, 1997 is 
forward-looking. In some cases, information regarding certain important 
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from any such 
forward-looking statement appear together with such statement. Also, the 
following factors, in addition to other possible factors not listed, could 
affect the Company's actual results and cause such results to differ 
materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements.

Highly Competitive Industry. The computer and office automation product 
supply industry is highly competitive. The Company competes with major 
full-service office products distributors, other national and regional 
computer supply distributors, office products superstores, direct mail order 
companies, and, to a lesser extent, non-specialized retailers. Certain of the 
Company's competitors, such as office products superstores and major 
full-service office products distributors have substantially greater 
financial and other resources and purchasing power than the Company. The 
Company believes that the computer supply industry will become more 
consolidated in the future and consequently more competitive. Increasing 
competition will result in greater price discounting which will continue to 
have a negative impact on the industry's gross margins. There can be no 
assurance that the Company will not encounter increased competition in the 
future, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.

Dependence on Certain Key Suppliers. Although the Company regularly carries 
products and accessories manufactured by approximately 500 original equipment 
manufacturers, 50.6% of the Company's net sales in fiscal year 1996 were 
derived from products supplied by the Company's ten largest suppliers, In 
addition, the Company's business is dependent upon terms provided by its key 
suppliers, including pricing and related provisions, product availability and 
dealer authorizations. While the Company considers its relationships with its 
key suppliers, including Hewlett-Packard Company ("Hewlett-Packard"), Lexmark 
International, Inc. ("Lexmark") and Imation Corp. ("Imation") to be good, 
there can be no assurance that these relationships will not be terminated or 
that such relationships will continue as presently in effect. In addition, 
changes by one or more of such key suppliers of their policies regarding 
distributors or volume discount schedules or other marketing programs 
applicable to the Company may have a material adverse effect on the Company's 
business. Certain distribution agreements require the Company to make minimum 
annual purchases. Under its distribution agreements with Hewlett-Packard, 
Lexmark and Imation, the Company is required to make minimum annual purchases 
of $5.0 million, $250,000 and $50,000, respectively.

Restrictions Imposed by Debt Arrangements. The Company's outstanding 
indebtedness consists primarily of borrowings under the $15.0 million secured 
revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") provided by National City 
Bank of Dayton (the "Bank"). The Credit Facility contains restrictive 
covenants which may have an adverse effect on the Company's operations in the 
future. These covenants include, among other restrictions: (i) the 
maintenance of certain financial ratios; (ii) prior notice to the Bank with 
respect to (a) the purchase or sale of assets; (b) any merger, sale or 
consolidation activity; (c) the creation or acquisition of any subsidiary or 
the investment in any equity securities; (d) the entering into any 
partnership or joint venture; or (e) the issuance of any equity securities; 
and (iii) certain limitations on the incurrence of other indebtedness. These 
provisions may constrain the Company's acquisition strategy, may delay, 
deter, or prevent a takeover attempt that a shareholder might consider in its 
best interests and may have an adverse effect on the market price of the 
Company's Common Stock. In addition, the Credit Facility restricts the 
payment of dividends to no more than 50.0% of the net income of the Company 
in the year that the dividend is to be paid.

Ability to Manage Growth. The Company expects to experience rapid growth that 
will likely result in new and increased responsibilities for management 
personnel and which will challenge the Company's management, operating and 
financial systems and resources. To compete effectively and manage future 
growth, if any, the Company will be required to continue to implement and 
improve its operational, financial and management information systems, 
procedures and internal controls on a timely basis and to expand, train, 
motivate and manage its work force. There can be no assurance that the 
Company's personnel, systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to 
support the Company's future operations. Any failure to implement and improve 
the Company's operational, financial and management systems or to expand, 
train motivate or manage employees could have a material adverse effect on 
the Company's operating results and financial condition.

Dependence on Computer Systems. The Company's operations are generally 
dependent on its proprietary software applications. Modifications to the 
Company's computer systems and applications software will be necessary as the 
Company executes its expansion

                                       12
<PAGE>

plans and responds to customer needs, technological developments, electronic 
commerce requirements and other factors. Such modifications may cause 
disruptions in the operations of the Company, delay the schedule for 
implementing the integration of newly acquired companies, or cost more to 
design, implement or operate than currently budgeted. Such disruptions, 
delays or costs could have a material adverse effect on the Company's 
operations and financial performance.

The Company does not currently have redundant computer systems or redundant 
dedicated communication lines linking its computers to its warehouses, 
although all data is stored on two separate hard drives on a continual basis. 
The Company has taken precautions to protect itself from events that could 
interrupt its operations, including back-up power supplies that allow the 
Company's computer system to function in the event of a power outage, 
off-site storage of back-up data, fire protection, physical security systems 
and an early warning detection and fire extinguishing system. The occurrence 
of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on the Company's 
operations and financial performance.

Failure to Implement Acquisition Strategy. The Company's business strategy 
includes the acquisition of other computer and office automation supply 
companies in the U.S. and overseas. Competition for desirable new 
acquisitions in attractive major metropolitan markets is expected to 
increase. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to find 
attractive acquisition candidates or that such acquisitions can be effected 
at reasonable prices or in a timely manner, or that once acquired, the 
Company will be able to profitably manage such companies. The failure to 
complete acquisitions and continue the Company's expansion could have a 
material adverse effect on its financial performance.

Integration of Acquisitions. The Company has acquired six computer and office 
automation supply businesses in the past five years and intends to actively 
pursue additional acquisitions. No assurance can be given that the Company 
will be able to successfully integrate its future acquisitions with the 
Company's existing systems and operations. The integration of acquired 
businesses may also lead to the resignation of key employees of the acquired 
companies and diversion of management attention from other ongoing business 
concerns. The costs of integration could have an adverse effect on short-term 
operating results. Any or all of these factors could have a material adverse 
effect on the Company's operations in the future.

Financing for Acquisitions; Leverage. If acquisitions are consummated for 
cash, it is likely that the Company will borrow the necessary funds and, 
accordingly, the Company may become highly leveraged as a result thereof. If 
it becomes highly leveraged, the Company may be more vulnerable to extended 
economic downturns and its flexibility in responding to changing economic and 
industry conditions may be limited. The degree to which the Company is 
leveraged could have important consequences to purchasers of the Common 
Stock, including the impairment of the Company's ability to obtain additional 
financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and general 
corporate purposes. The Company's ability to make principal and interest 
payments on its current and future indebtedness and to repay its current and 
future indebtedness at maturity will be dependent on the Company's future 
operating performance, which is itself dependent on a number of factors, many 
of which are beyond the Company's control, and may be dependent on the 
availability of borrowings under the Credit Facility or other financings. A 
substantial portion of the Company's current borrowing capacity under the 
Credit Facility could be consumed by increased working capital needs, 
including future acquisitions.

Possible Need for Additional Financing to Implement Acquisition Strategy. No 
portion of the Company's working capital has been set aside for the specific 
purpose of funding future acquisitions and, therefore, the Company may 
require additional funds to implement its acquisition strategy. While the 
Company's Credit Facility may be utilized to finance acquisitions, the amount 
which may be drawn upon by the Company may be limited. Accordingly, the 
Company may require additional debt or equity financing for future 
acquisitions. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to 
obtain additional debt or equity financing on terms favorable to the Company, 
or at all, or if obtained, there can be no assurance that such debt or equity 
financing will be sufficient for the financing needs of the Company.

Risks Relating to International Acquisitions. Expansion into international 
markets may involve additional risks relating to such things as currency 
exchange rates, new and different legal and regulatory requirements, 
political and economic risks relating to the stability of foreign governments 
and their trading relationship with the United States, difficulties in 
staffing and managing foreign operations, differences in financial reporting, 
differences in the manner in which different cultures do business, operating 
difficulties and other factors.

Exchange Rate Fluctuations. Although the Company's operations are not 
currently subject to material operational risks associated with fluctuations 
in exchange rates, because the Company intends to expand the size and scope 
of its international operations, its exposure to fluctuations in exchange 
rates will be increased. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the 
Company's results of operations will not be adversely affected in the future 
by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company has, at 
times, entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts in order to 
hedge the Company's accounts receivable and accounts payable. In the future, 
the Company may, from time to time, consider entering into other forward 
foreign currency exchange contracts, although no assurances can be given that 
the Company will do so, or will be able to do so, or that such arrangements 
will adequately protect the Company from fluctuations in foreign currency 
exchange rates.
