                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - GENERAL

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the instructions and requirements of Form
10-Q. 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.
The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire
fiscal year or any other interim period. 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, 1998.

NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS

         Effective June 15, 1999, the Company completed its acquisition of
Audio Visual Systems, Inc ("AVS") in a purchase business combination. AVS is
engaged in the distribution and integration of audio-visual presentation
products. The purchase price totaled $1,500,000 and was comprised of cash,
38,137 shares of the Company's common stock with a fair value of $750,000 and
related out of pocket expenses. The purchase price was allocated to the
estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the
residual being allocated to intangible assets (goodwill) which is being
amortized over a forty year life. The acquisition of AVS was not material to
the consolidated financial statements and pro forma data is not presented.

         As disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company has been
involved in an active acquisition program. Results of operations for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 include the impact of entities acquired during 1998
which are not included in the results of operations for the six months ended
June 30, 1998. The following pro forma information illustrates the effect of
these 1998 acquisitions assuming they had occurred on January 1, 1998.

                                                                    Six months ended
                                                                      June 30, 1998
<S>                                                                  <C>
             Net sales ............................................     $264,837

             Net income ...........................................     $  2,141

             Basic and diluted earnings per share .................     $   0.23
</TABLE>

         The pro forma statement of operations data reflect the effects of
the purchase price allocation and the resultant amortization and additional
interest expense associated with the cash used to fund the acquisitions,
along with other adjustments directly attributable to the transactions. The
pro forma data reflects adjustments directly related to the acquisitions and
does not include adjustments that may arise as a consequence of the
acquisitions, such as cost savings, improved efficiencies, etc. Therefore,
the pro forma data is not necessarily indicative of operating results that
would have occurred for the six month period ended June 30, 1998, or in
future periods, had the acquisitions actually occurred on January 1, 1998.

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

         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 key suppliers, risks
inherent in acquiring, integrating and operating new businesses, exchange
rate fluctuations, the regulatory and trade environment (both domestic and
foreign), and changes in business strategies and other factors as discussed
in Exhibit 99.

         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, audio-visual
presentation products distribution and integration 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 or that the Company will not need additional debt or
equity financing to continue its acquisition strategy.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

         NET SALES. Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1999
increased by $92 million, or 137%, to $159 million from $67 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1998. Of the increase, sales to the Company's
core customer base increased 18%; the balance of the increase resulted from
the acquisitions.

         GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 1999
increased by $17 million, or 121% to $31 million from $14 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1998. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales
for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was 20% compared to 21% for the
three months ended June 30, 1998.

         SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1999 increased by
$14 million, to $25 million from $11 million for the three months ended June
30, 1998. The majority of the increase resulted from the acquisitions the
Company has completed since June 30, 1998. As a percentage of net sales,
selling, general and administrative expenses were 15% for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 compared to 16% for the three months ended June 30, 1998.

         OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the three months ended June
30, 1999 increased by $4 million to $7 million from $3 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 for the reasons stated above. Operating margin
decreased to 4% for the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared to 5% for
the three months ended June 30, 1998.

         INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the three months ended June
30, 1999 increased by $1.5 million to $2.3 million from $.8 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1998 due primarily to the increased level of
indebtedness during 1999, utilized to fund business combinations and the
growth in working capital.

         PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 increased $1 million to $2 million from $1
million for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The Company's effective tax
rate was 46% for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 45% for the three
months ended June 30, 1998.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

         NET SALES. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1999
increased by $190 million, or 156%, to $312 million from $122 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1998. Of the increase, sales to the Company's core
customer base increased 19%; the balance of the increase resulted from the
acquisitions.

         GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 1999
increased by $33 million, or 122% to $60 million from $27 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1998. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 was 19% compared to 22% for the six months
ended June 30, 1998. The decrease in gross profit is due to the portion of
Axidata's business derived from wholesale sales, which has lower margins than
the Company as a whole.

         SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1999 increased by
$26 million, to $47 million from $21 million for the six months ended June
30, 1998. The majority of the increase resulted from the acquisitions the
Company has completed since June 30, 1998. As a percentage of net sales,
selling, general and administrative expenses were 15% for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 compared to 17% for the six months ended June 30, 1998.

         OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the six months ended June 30,
1999 increased by $8 million to $13 million from $5 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1998, for the reasons stated above. Operating margins
were 4% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to 4% for the six
months ended June 30, 1998.

         INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30,
1999 increased to $5 million from $1 million for the six months ended June
30, 1998 due primarily to the increased level of indebtedness during 1999,
which was used for business combinations and working capital.

         PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 increased $2 million to $4 million from $2
million for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The Company's effective tax
rate was 46% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to 45% for
the corresponding period of the prior year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Net cash flows used in operating activities totaled $7 million for
the first six months of 1999 compared to $5 million used by operating
activities during the first six months of 1998. The change in net cash flows
from operating activities was due primarily to an increase in inventory and
to support business growth.

         Net cash used in investing activities was $10 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 versus $18 million for the six months ended June
30, 1998. The net cash used in investing activities primarily reflects the
acquisitions completed during the period. Net cash provided by financing
activities totaled $14 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999
compared with $23 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998.

         Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 1999 totaled
$5 million and were used primarily to upgrade the Company's management
information systems.

         The Company believes that its cash on hand and borrowing capacity
under the Credit Facility (see below) will be sufficient to fund its ongoing
operations and budgeted capital expenditures for the next twelve months,
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 additional borrowings and other
sources of external financing as needed.

YEAR 2000

1) THE RISKS AND THE COMPANY'S STATE OF READINESS:

         The Company is aware of the issues associated with the hardware,
software and operating systems in existing computer and telecommunication
systems as the millennium approaches. The "year 2000" problem is pervasive
and complex as virtually every computer operation will be affected in some
way by the rollover of the two digit year value to 00. The issue is whether
computer and other computer operated 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 Company is utilizing internal and external resources to identify
and correct, or reprogram, all systems for year 2000 compliance. The
Company's AS/400 hardware and operating system are already compliant. The
Company is implementing a corporate

                                       8
<PAGE>

wide financial and distribution software package from J. D. Edwards Company
in response to the Company's expansion and acquisition program. This software
package is year 2000 compliant. The J.D. Edwards Company software package was
installed on January 4, 1999 at the Company headquarters. All of the
Company's subsidiaries with critical Year 2000 issues will be converted to
this software package during the first nine months of 1999.

         All other equipment is currently undergoing compliance testing. In
cases of non-compliance, equipment will be replaced. This equipment includes
PCs, networking equipment, telecommunication equipment, phone and alarm
systems.

         The Company regularly carries products and accessories manufactured
by over 500 original equipment manufacturers. Approximately 52% of the
Company's net sales for the year ended December 31, 1998, were provided by
its suppliers. The Company intends to obtain written assurance from these
suppliers that they expect to be Year 2000 compliant on a timely basis.
Should a significant number of the Company's suppliers not be Year 2000
compliant, the Company might not be able to supply its customers with product
on a timely basis, bill timely for its products or collect its account
receivable on a timely basis. Such a disruption could have a material adverse
affect on the Company's operation and financial performance.

2) THE COSTS TO ADDRESS THE COMPANY'S YEAR 2000 ISSUES:

         The cost to bring the Company into compliance and convert its
financial and distribution systems to the J. D. Edwards system is currently
estimated to be approximately $7.9 million including the amount spent to date.

3) THE COMPANY'S CONTINGENCY PLANS:

         The Company is continuing to develop contingency plans as needed in
the future, including the determination of alternative service providers if
the Company's current third party service providers become incapable of
performing services for the Company and/or its customers as a result of the
year 2000 problem.

CREDIT FACILITY

         On December 10, 1998, the Company revised its then existing lending
arrangements with a consortium of banks. An amended and restated credit
facility of $125.0 million was provided by PNC Bank, N.A. and four other
banks and matures on December 10, 2003. Borrowings under the credit facility
are classified as long term debt. The credit facility enables the Company to
borrow funds and repay funds during the term of the agreement and contains
restrictive covenants which include, among other restrictions: (i) the
maintenance of certain financial ratios; (ii) restrictions on ( a ) the
purchase or sale of assets, ( b ) any merger, sale or consolidation activity,
( c ) loans, investments and guarantees made by the Company, ( d ) lease and
sale and leaseback transactions, and ( e ) capital expenditures; and (iii)
certain limitations on the incurrence of other indebtedness. In addition, the
credit facility prohibits the payment of dividends and certain repurchases of
the Company's common stock. The Credit Facility is collateralized by
substantially all of the Company's assets. The interest rate for the credit
facility is based upon either the LIBOR rate plus a variable spread (2% at
June 30, 1999) or the prime rate (8% at June 30, 1999). April 19, 1999, the
Company's credit facility was temporarily increased to $140.0 million, until
August 31, 1999.

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 reference, in the Company's
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 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 supply and
audio-visual presentation products 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 and audio-visual presentation products 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, 52.4% and 47.2% of the Company's net sales in fiscal year 1998
and in the three months ended March 31, 1999, respectively, 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, Sharp and Lexmark 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 $140.0 million
secured Credit Facility provided by PNC Bank, N.A. and four other banks (the
"Banks"). 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) restrictions on ( a ) the purchase or sale of assets, ( b ) any
merger, sale or consolidation activity, ( c ) loans, investments and
guaranties made by the Company, ( d ) lease and sale and leaseback
transactions, and ( e ) capital expenditures; and (iii) certain limitations
on the incurrence of other indebtedness. These provisions may constrain the
Company's acquisition strategy, or 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 prohibits the payment of dividends and certain
repurchases of the Common Stock.

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 plans and responds to the "year 2000 problem,"
customer needs, technological developments, electronic commerce requirements
and

                                       13
<PAGE>

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 is utilizing internal resources and outside consultants to
upgrade its software for year 2000 ("Year 2000") compliance. The Company's
computer hardware and operating system are already Year 2000 compliant. New
software to be acquired in response to the Company's expansion and
acquisition program will be Year 2000 compliant.

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 and
audio-visual presentation product 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 ten computer and office
automation supply companies, and eight audio-visual presentation products
companies, since its initial public offering in November 1996 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 financing. 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. As a result of the purchase of Axidata Inc., a
Canadian computer supply wholesaler in December 1998, the Company's 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

                                       14
<PAGE>

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.
