PENTACON, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2000
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements of Pentacon, Inc. (the "Company")
included herein have been prepared without audit pursuant to the Rules and
Regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements are not included herein. The Company believes all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of these statements have been
included and are of a normal and recurring nature. There has been no change in
the accounting policies of the Company during the periods presented. The
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
related notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1999.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' consolidated
financial statements to conform with the current year presentation.
2. CREDIT FACILITY AND LONG-TERM DEBT
In March 1999, the Company sold $100 million of Senior Subordinated Notes
(the "Notes") due April 1, 2009. The net proceeds of $94.2 million, after the
original issue discount and paying underwriter's commissions, from the offering
of the Notes were used to repay indebtedness under the Company's credit
agreement (the "Bank Credit Facility"). The Notes accrue interest at 12.25%
which is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year. The Notes are publicly
registered and subordinated to all existing and future senior subordinated
obligations and will rank senior to all subordinated indebtedness. The indenture
governing the Notes contains covenants that limit the Company's ability to incur
additional indebtedness, pay dividends, make investments and sell assets. At
June 30, 2000, the Company was in compliance with the covenants. Each of the
Company's subsidiaries which are wholly-owned, fully, unconditionally and
jointly and severally guarantees the Notes on a senior subordinated basis.
Separate financial statements of the guarantors are not presented because
management has determined that they would not be material to investors.
Effective September 30, 1999, the Company amended its Bank Credit Facility
to provide a revolving line of credit of up to $100 million (subject to a
borrowing base limitation) to be used for general corporate purposes, future
acquisitions, capital expenditures and working capital. The Bank Credit Facility
is secured by Company stock and assets. Advances under the Bank Credit Facility
bear interest at the banks' prime rate. At the Company's option, the loans may
bear interest based on a designated London interbank offered rate plus a margin
of 200 basis points. Commitment fees of 25 to 37.5 basis points per annum are
payable on the unused portion of the line of credit. The Bank Credit Facility
contains a provision for standby letters of credit up to $20 million. The Bank
Credit Facility prohibits the payment of dividends by the Company, restricts the
Company's incurring or assuming other indebtedness and requires the Company to
comply with certain financial covenants including a minimum net worth and
minimum fixed charge ratio. At June 30, 2000, the Company was in compliance with
the covenants. Borrowings under the Bank Credit Facility are classified as
current liabilities in accordance with EITF 95-22 BALANCE SHEET CLASSIFICATION
OF BORROWINGS OUTSTANDING UNDER REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENTS THAT INCLUDE BOTH A
SUBJECTIVE ACCELERATION CLAUSE AND A LOCK-BOX ARRANGEMENT. The Bank Credit
Facility will terminate and all amounts outstanding thereunder, if any, will be
due and payable September 30, 2004. At June 30, 2000, the Company had
approximately $32.1 million available under the Bank Credit Facility.
6
<PAGE>
In connection with the amendment of and reduction in the Bank Credit
Facility and issuance of the Notes in March 1999, the Company recorded a $2.3
million ($.07 impact on earnings per share) noncash charge for the write-off of
debt issuance costs.
3. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic and diluted net income per share is computed based on the following

4. INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes included in the Consolidated Statement of
Operations assumes the application of statutory federal and state income tax
rates and the non-deductibility of goodwill amortization. Interim period income
tax provisions are based upon estimates of annual effective tax rates and events
may occur which will cause such rates to vary.
5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings that have arisen in
the ordinary course of business. While it is not possible to predict the outcome
of such proceedings with certainty, in the opinion of the Company, all such
proceedings are either adequately covered by insurance or, if not so covered,
should not ultimately result in any liability which would have a material
adverse effect on the financial position, liquidity or results of operations of
the Company.
6. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has two principal operating segments: the Industrial Group and
the Aerospace Group. The Industrial Group serves a broad base of industrial
manufacturers producing items such as diesel engines, locomotives, power
turbines, motorcycles, telecommunications equipment and
7
<PAGE>
refrigeration equipment, and the Aerospace Group serves the aerospace and
aeronautics industries. Financial information by industry segment follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements of the Company and related notes thereto and management's discussion
and analysis of financial condition and results of operations related thereto
which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1999. This discussion contains forward-looking statements
that are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or
more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying
assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those
anticipated, estimated or projected. Key factors that could cause actual results
to differ materially
8
<PAGE>
from expectations include, but are not limited to: (1) estimates of costs or
projected or anticipated changes to cost estimates relating to entering new
markets or expanding in existing markets; (2) changes in economic and industry
conditions; (3) changes in regulatory requirements; (4) changes in interest
rates; (5) levels of borrowings under the Company's Bank Credit Facility; (6)
accumulation of excess inventories by certain customers in the aerospace
industry; and (7) volume or price adjustments with respect to sales to major
customers.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Quarterly results may be materially affected by the timing and magnitude
of assimilation costs, acquisitions, costs of opening new facilities, gain or
loss of a material customer and variation in product mix. Accordingly, the
operating results for any three-month period are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be achieved for any subsequent three or six-month period or
for a full year.
THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999
The following table sets forth certain selected financial data and the
related amounts as a percentage of revenues for the periods indicated:
THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED
JUNE 30,
------------------------------------------
2000 1999
------------------- -------------------
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
Revenues ......................... $ 73,891 100.0% $ 71,197 100.0%
Cost of sales .................... 51,376 69.5 48,561 68.2
-------- -------- -------- --------
Gross profit ............. 22,515 30.5 22,636 31.8

Goodwill amortization ............ 864 1.2 865 1.2
-------- -------- -------- --------
Operating income ......... $ 5,871 7.9% $ 6,349 8.9%
======== ======== ======== ========
REVENUES
Revenues increased $2.7 million, or 3.8%, to $73.9 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 from $71.2 million for the three months ended June
30, 1999. The increase in revenues was attributable to revenue growth of 21.0%
in the Industrial Group partially offset by a 12.5% decline in Aerospace Group
revenue. The Industrial Group's revenue growth resulted from the implementation
of new business with a major industrial customer and increased demand in the
majority of the Company's industrial markets. The revenue decline in the
Aerospace Group resulted from weakness in the aerospace market, particularly in
the commercial airframe portion of the market.
COST OF SALES
Cost of sales increased $2.8 million, or 5.8%, to $51.4 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2000 from $48.6 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1999. As a percentage of revenues, cost of sales increased from 68.2%
for the three months ended June 30, 1999, to 69.5% for the three months ended
June 30, 2000. The corresponding reduction in gross profit margin is due to the
change in sales mix between the Industrial and Aerospace Groups and lower
margins on certain existing customers in the Industrial Group. The Aerospace
Group's gross margins as a percentage of revenues decreased due to lower gross
margins on certain international sales.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses increased $0.4 million, or 2.6%, to $15.8 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $15.4 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1999. As a percentage of revenues,
9
<PAGE>
operating expenses decreased from 21.7% for the three months ended June 30,
1999, to 21.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2000. The percentage decrease
in the Industrial Group resulted from the cost reduction initiatives taken in
the fourth quarter of 1999 and the non-recurring implementation costs on new
business with a major customer in the prior year. This decrease was partially
offset by a percentage increase in the Aerospace Group as operating expenses
were not reduced commensurate with the decline in revenues. In addition,
incremental operating expenses were incurred by the Aerospace Group in the
second quarter of 2000 to establish operations in the U.K. and Canada in support
of new business.
OPERATING INCOME
Due to the factors discussed above, operating income decreased $0.4
million to $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $6.3
million for the three months ended June 30, 1999. As a percentage of revenues,
operating income decreased to 7.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from
8.9% for the three months ended June 30, 1999.
NON-OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES
Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2000, totaled $4.7
million compared to $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999. The
increase in interest expense primarily resulted from higher debt levels and, to
a lesser extent, higher interest rates.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2000
was $0.7 million (an effective rate of 62.0%) compared with $1.2 million (an
effective rate of 57.4%) for the three months ended June 30, 1999. The effective
income tax rate exceeds the statutory rate primarily due to nondeductible
goodwill amortization.
SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999
The following table sets forth certain selected financial data and the
related amounts as a percentage of revenues for the periods indicated:
SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED

-------- -------- -------- --------
Operating income ........ $ 11,562 7.8% $ 12,381 9.0%
======== ======== ======== ========
REVENUES
Revenues increased $10.6 million, or 7.7%, to $148.3 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 from $137.7 million for the six months ended June 30,
1999. The increase in revenues was attributable to revenue growth of 28.7% in
the Industrial Group partially offset by an 11.9% decline in Aerospace Group
revenue. The Industrial Group's revenue growth resulted from the implementation
of new business with a major industrial customer and increased demand in all of
the company's industrial markets. The revenue decline in the Aerospace Group
resulted from weakness in the aerospace market, particularly in the commercial
airframe portion of the market.
10
<PAGE>
COST OF SALES
Cost of sales increased $9.8 million, or 10.5%, to $103.0 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 from $93.2 million for the six months ended June
30, 1999. As a percentage of revenues, cost of sales increased from 67.7% for
the six months ended June 30, 1999, to 69.5% for the six months ended June 30,
2000. The corresponding reduction in gross profit margin is due to the change in
sales mix between the Industrial and Aerospace Groups and additional new
business at lower margins with an existing customer in the Industrial Group. The
Aerospace Group's gross margins as a percentage of revenues were consistent in
each period.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses increased $1.6 million, or 5.3%, to $32.0 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $30.4 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999. As a percentage of revenues, operating expenses decreased from
22.0% for the six months ended June 30, 1999, to 21.5% for the six months ended
June 30, 2000. The percentage decrease in the Industrial Group was attributable
to cost reduction initiatives taken in the fourth quarter of 1999 and
non-recurring implementation costs on new business with a major customer in the
prior year. This decrease was partially offset by a percentage increase in the
Aerospace Group as operating expenses were not reduced commensurate with the
decline in revenues in connection with the activity associated with the
consolidation of warehouses and information systems. In addition, incremental
operating expenses were incurred by the Aerospace Group in the second quarter of
2000 to establish operations in the U.K. and Canada in support of new business.
OPERATING INCOME
Due to the factors discussed above, operating income decreased $0.8
million to $11.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $12.4
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. As a percentage of revenues,
operating income decreased to 7.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from
9.0% for the six months ended June 30, 1999.
NON-OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2000, totaled $9.6
million compared to $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The
increase in interest expense primarily resulted from higher debt levels and, to
a lesser extent, the higher rate of interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes
issued in March 1999 and higher interest rates.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was
$1.2 million (an effective rate of 58.8%) compared with $1.5 million (an
effective rate of 56.5%) for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The effective
income tax rate exceeds the statutory rate primarily due to nondeductible
goodwill amortization.

In March 1999, the Company sold $100 million of Senior Subordinated Notes
due April 1, 2009. The net proceeds of $94.2 million, after the original issue
discount and paying underwriter's commissions, from the offering of the Notes
were used to repay indebtedness under the Company's Bank Credit Facility. The
Notes accrue interest at 12.25% which is payable on April 1 and October 1 of
each year. The Notes are publicly registered and subordinated to all existing
and future senior subordinated obligations and will rank senior to all
subordinated indebtedness. The indenture governing the Notes contains covenants
that limit the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay
dividends, make investments and sell assets. At June 30, 2000, the Company was
in compliance with the covenants. Each of the Company's subsidiaries which are
wholly-owned, fully, unconditionally and jointly and severally guarantees the
Notes on a senior subordinated basis.
Effective September 30, 1999, the Company amended its Bank Credit Facility
to provide a revolving line of credit of up to $100 million (subject to a
borrowing base limitation) to be used for general corporate purposes, future
acquisitions, capital expenditures and working capital. The Bank Credit Facility
is secured by Company stock and assets. Advances under the Bank Credit Facility
bear interest at the banks' prime rate. At the Company's option, the loans may
bear interest based on a designated London interbank offered rate plus a margin
of 200 basis points. Commitment fees of 25 to 37.5 basis points per annum are
payable on the unused portion of the line of credit. The Bank Credit Facility
contains a provision for standby letters of credit up to $20 million. The Bank
Credit Facility prohibits the payment of dividends by the Company, restricts the
Company's incurring or assuming other indebtedness and requires the Company to
comply with certain financial covenants including a minimum net worth and
minimum fixed charge ratio. At June 30, 2000, the Company was in compliance with
the covenants. Borrowings under the Bank Credit Facility are classified as
current liabilities in accordance with EITF 95-22 BALANCE SHEET CLASSIFICATION
OF BORROWINGS OUTSTANDING UNDER REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENTS THAT INCLUDE BOTH A
SUBJECTIVE ACCELERATION CLAUSE AND A LOCK-BOX ARRANGEMENT. The Bank Credit
Facility will terminate and all amounts outstanding thereunder, if any, will be
due and payable September 30, 2004. At June 30, 2000, the Company had
approximately $32.1 million available under the Bank Credit Facility.
The Company's Industrial Group has selected the J. D. Edwards' One World
Enterprise Application Solution as its common information system. The total
expenditures for this information system are expected to be approximately $5.5
million during the years 2000 and 2001, the majority of which will be
capitalized as computer hardware and software as it is installed and depreciated
over the estimated useful life of the assets. The total expenditures for this
system were $3.0 million as of June 30, 2000, the majority of which has been
capitalized as computer hardware and software. Funding for these expenditures
came from operating cash flows.
SEASONALITY AND INFLATION
The Company experiences seasonal declines in the third and fourth quarters
due to declines in its customers' activities in those quarters. The Company's
volume of business may be adversely affected by a decline in projects as a
result of regional or national downturns in economic conditions. Quarterly
results may also be materially affected by the timing of acquisitions and the
timing and magnitude of acquisition assimilation costs. Inflation has not had a
material impact on the Company's results of operations.
