NOTE 1.   NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF BUSINESS

     Richey Electronics, Inc. is a specialty distributor of electronic 
components and a provider of related value-added assembly services.  The 
Company distributes a broad line of connectors, switches, wire, cable and 
heat shrinkable tubing and other interconnect, electromechanical and passive 
components used in the assembly and manufacturing of electronic equipment.  
Richey Electronics also provides a wide variety of value-added assembly 
services.  These value-added assembly services consist of (i) component 
assembly, which is the assembly of components to manufacturer specifications 
and (ii) contract assembly, which is the assembly of cable assemblies, 
battery packs and mechanical assemblies to customer specifications.  The 
Company's customers are primarily small- and medium-sized original equipment 
manufacturers.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim 
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 
of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information 
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for 
complete financial statements. In management's opinion, the accompanying 
financial statements reflect all material adjustments, consisting of only 
normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the 
results for the interim periods presented.  The results for the interim 
periods ended September 27, 1996 and September 29, 1995 are not necessarily 
indicative of the results which will be reported for the entire year.

     EARNINGS PER SHARE

     The weighted average number of shares used for computing fully diluted 
earnings per share assumes that the 7% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 
2006 (the "Notes") which were sold by the Company in the first quarter of 
1996 through a private offering (the "Note Offering") are converted at 
$14.125 per share on the date they were issued.  The Notes are not common 
stock equivalents and, therefore, are not considered in determining the 
primary weighted average number of shares.  Net income used in computing 
fully diluted earnings per share is increased for the interest expense, net 
of tax, associated with the Notes.

     INCOME TAXES

     Income tax expense in these interim financial statements is recorded 
based upon the Company's expected annual effective income tax rate.

     For further information, refer to the audited financial statements of 
the Company and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1995, included 
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

NOTE 2.  BUSINESS COMBINATIONS  

INLAND EMPIRE INTERCONNECTS

     On August 16, 1995, the Company completed the purchase (the "IEI 
Acquisition") of the assets and business of Inland Empire Interconnects 
("IEI"), an Ontario, California cable assembly company specializing in molded 
interconnect products.  The IEI Acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.  
The results of operations of IEI subsequent to the date of the IEI 
Acquisition are included in the Company's financial statements.

EDAC AND SUBSIDIARY (DEANCO ACQUISITION)

     On December 20, 1995, the Company completed the purchase (the "Deanco 
Acquisition") of all the issued and outstanding capital stock of Electrical 
Distribution Acquisition Company ("EDAC") and its wholly owned subsidiary, 
Deanco, Inc. ("Deanco").  The Deanco Acquisition was accounted for as a 
purchase.  The results of operations of Deanco subsequent to the date of the 
Deanco Acquisition are included in the Company's financial statements.

     In connection with the Deanco Acquisition, the Company has consolidated 
facilities and eliminated significant redundant administrative costs.  As 
part of the consolidation, the Company has closed certain of its own 
facilities and incurred other integration costs.  During the fourth quarter 
of 1995, the Company recognized a restructuring charge of $1,450,000.  During 
the nine-month period ended September 27, 1996, $1,250,000 of these 
restructuring costs were paid.  No adjustments were made to the original 
estimates of this restructuring charge.

     Also in connection with the Deanco Acquisition, the Company accrued 
restructuring costs of $3,100,000 relating to the consolidation of Deanco's 
operations into the Company.

Those costs were recorded as a purchase accounting adjustment, resulting in 
an increase in goodwill in the preliminary purchase price allocation.  The 
preliminary allocation of the Deanco purchase price will be finalized when 
all final costs are established.  No adjustments were made to the original 
estimates of these restructuring costs. At September 27, 1996, $1,523,000 of 
these costs have been paid.  

     The Company merged EDAC into the Company in January 1996 and merged 
Deanco into the Company in October 1996.

MS ELECTRONICS

     On March 19, 1996, the Company completed the acquisition (the "MS 
Acquisition") of the assets and business of MS Electronics, Inc. ("MS 
Electronics").  MS Electronics specializes in the distribution of 
interconnect, electromechanical and passive electronic components and 
provides value-added assembly services in the Baltimore/Washington 
marketplace.  The MS Acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.  The 
purchase price and related transaction costs, including the assumption of MS 
Electronics' debt of $525,000, were approximately $3,119,000 and were paid in 
cash.  The allocation of the purchase price is as follows:  $2,231,000 to 
estimated fair value of tangible assets acquired, $1,288,000 to liabilities 
assumed and $2,176,000 to cost in excess of net assets of business acquired 
(goodwill to be amortized over 15 years).  The results of operations of MS 
Electronics subsequent to the date of the MS Acquisition are included in the 
Company's financial statements.

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     The following pro forma results of continuing operations assume that the 
Deanco Acquisition (which occurred on December 20, 1995) had occurred on 
January 1, 1995, after giving effect to certain adjustments including 
amortization of acquired intangibles and goodwill, elimination of duplicate 
facilities and redundant salaries, interest expense and related tax effects.

the beginning of 1995.

NOTE 3.   PUBLIC COMMON STOCK OFFERING, PRIVATE CONVERTIBLE DEBT OFFERING, 
          STOCK OPTIONS AND NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYFORWARDS

PUBLIC COMMON STOCK OFFERING

     In the second quarter of 1995, the Company issued 3,165,000 shares of 
its common stock in a secondary offering.  The net proceeds to the Company 
from that offering were approximately $15,700,000.  The Company used the net 
proceeds to reduce the Company's existing indebtedness.

PRIVATE CONVERTIBLE DEBT OFFERING

     In the first quarter of 1996, the Company sold through the Note Offering 
$55,755,000 aggregate principal amount of its 7% Convertible Subordinated 
Notes due 2006.  The Notes are convertible into 3,947,000 shares of the 
Company's common stock at a conversion price of $14.125 per share (subject to 
adjustment).  The Company has filed a shelf registration statement with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission to register resales of the Notes and the 
common stock issuable upon conversion.  This registration statement became 
effective on June 7, 1996.  The net proceeds from the Note Offering were 
approximately $53,600,000 and were used to repay the Company's $30,000,000 
term loan and to pay down its revolving line of credit.

STOCK OPTIONS

     The Company has a stock option plan adopted in 1992.  The options 
granted vest at a rate of 25% per year over a four-year period and, in 
general, expire ten years from the date of grant.  The options granted were 
granted at fair market value at the date of grant.  Total options authorized 
for grant are 905,432, of which 628,371 have been granted as of September 27, 
1996.  During the nine months ended September 27, 1996, 135,300 options were 
granted at average prices of $9.50 to $11.00, 8,360 options were exercised, 
and 7,363 options expired and became available again for grant.  As of 
September 27, 1996, 284,424 options were available for grant.

     As of December 31, 1995, the Company had net operating loss 
carryforwards ("NOLs") with the following expiration dates:

     Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the 
related regulations and California law impose certain limitations on a 
corporation's ability to use NOLs if more than a 50% ownership change occurs. 
The Company's issuance of additional common stock in 1995, together with the 
1993 merger of RicheyImpact Electronics, Inc. and Brajdas Corporation, 
constitute a more than 50% ownership change.  As a result, the usage of the 
NOLs is restricted to approximately $5,000,000 on an annual basis.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Net income for the third quarter of 1996 was $1,754,000 compared with 
net income of $1,070,000 for the third quarter of 1995, an increase of 
$684,000 or 64%.  For the third quarter of 1996, earnings per share increased 
to $0.18 based on fully diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding 
of 13,010,000, up from $0.12 per share for the third quarter of 1995, based 
on weighted average number of shares outstanding of 9,054,000.  Net income 
for the nine-month period ended September 27, 1996 was $4,631,000 ($0.50 per 
share, fully diluted) compared with $2,659,000 ($0.35 per share) for the 
corresponding period in 1995, an increase of 74%.

     Net sales for the quarter ended September 27, 1996 rose to $53,713,000 
from $28,803,000 for the quarter ended September 29, 1995, an increase of 
86%.  Net sales for the first nine months of 1996 were $170,309,000 compared 
to net sales of $83,704,000 for the same period in 1995, an increase of 103%. 
Net sales of electronic components increased to $36,454,000 in the third 
quarter of 1996 from $20,523,000 in the third quarter of 1995, an increase of 
78%.  Net sales of value-added assembly services increased to $17,259,000 for 
the third quarter of 1996 from $8,280,000 for the corresponding period of 
1995, an increase of 108%.  Component and value-added sales increased as a 
result of acquisitions and an increase in product offerings due to new 
franchises and expanded geographic coverage of existing franchises.  Pro 
forma for the Deanco Acquisition, net sales would have been $54,096,000 for 
the third quarter of 1995 and $161,610,000 for the first nine months of 1995.

          Net sales for the third quarter of 1996 declined 8% as compared to 
net sales for the second quarter of 1996.  The decline was a result of poor 
industry-wide market conditions, reflected by decreases in incoming orders 
and order quantities from the Company's component distribution customers and 
decreases in their inventory stocking levels.  Sales of value-added assembly 
services remained strong in the third quarter, as customers continued to look 
to distribution to outsource their assembly requirements.  Stronger gross 
margins, expense controls in light of market conditions and operating 
leverage from acquisition integrations resulted in a 1% increase in net 
income for the third quarter compared to the second quarter, despite the 
decline in net sales.

          During the third quarter of 1996, the Company decided to 
discontinue its representation of AMP in the component distribution market, 
effective January 1, 1997.  The decision was made in response to new polices 
of AMP which would have required the Company to discontinue its 
representation of certain competitors of AMP.  The distribution of AMP 
interconnect products represents approximately 3.5% of the Company's net 
sales.  Management expects to replace a significant part of these sales by 
substituting interconnect products of other suppliers.  AMP will continue as 
a supplier of the Company's value-added services business.

     The Company believes that order backlog (confirmed orders from customers 
for shipment within the next 12 months) generally averages two to three 
months' sales in the

                                       14

electronics distribution industry.  Order backlog at September 27, 1996 was 
$51,000,000, up from $30,300,000 at September 29, 1995 and down from 
$53,000,000 at December 31, 1995.  The reduction of $2,000,000 in order 
backlog in the first nine months of 1996 is attributable to conforming 
Deanco's December 31, 1995 order backlog to Company policies and the decline 
in business activity in the third quarter.

     Gross profit margin for the first nine months of 1996 was 25.4% compared 
to gross profit margin of 24.0% for the first nine months of 1995.  Gross 
profit margin for the third quarter of 1996 was 26.3%, an improvement from 
24.5% in the first quarter of 1996 and 25.4% in the second quarter of 1996.  
The gross profit margin for the third quarter of 1996 rose by 2.2% from 
margins achieved in the third quarter of 1995.  Growth in the Company's 
higher margin, value-added services business contributed to higher gross 
margins.  In addition, there was an increased percentage of component orders 
to be shipped in under 30 days which typically have higher margins than 
orders with longer shipment schedules.  

     Operating expenses for the quarter ended September 27, 1996 increased to 
$9,667,000 from $5,064,000 for the corresponding period in 1995 due primarily 
to acquisitions.  As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses increased 
0.4% for the quarter ended September 27, 1996 compared to the same period in 
1995, of which 0.3% was attributable to the amortization of intangibles 
associated with the Deanco Acquisition.  Operating expenses for the first 
nine months of 1996 increased to $31,356,000 from $14,975,000 for the first 
nine months of 1995.  Operating expenses, as a percentage of net sales, were 
18.4% for the first nine months of 1996 and 17.9% for the corresponding 
period in 1995.  This increase in expenses as a percentage of sales was 
primarily due to the fact that Deanco's expenses as a percentage of sales 
were historically significantly higher than those of the Company and during 
the first few months of 1996 the Company realized only a portion of the 
expected costs savings from the integration of Deanco into the Company. The 
operational integration of Deanco and MS Electronics was completed in the 
third quarter of 1996 and contributed to a $900,000 reduction in operating 
expenses for the third quarter from the second quarter of 1996.

     Interest expense for the third quarter of 1996 was $1,519,000 as 
compared with $80,000 for the third quarter of 1995.  The increase in 
interest expense was primarily due to the Company's financing activities 
relating to acquisitions.

     Federal and state income tax expense increased to $1,176,000 (40% 
effective rate) for the quarter ended September 27, 1996 from $717,000 (40% 
effective rate) for the corresponding period of 1995.  This increase was 
proportional to the increase in pre-tax earnings for the quarter.  See Note 3 
of Notes to Condensed Financial Statements for further discussion of income 
tax matters.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     In the first quarter of 1996, the Company sold, through a private 
offering, $55,755,000 aggregate principal amount of its 7% Convertible 
Subordinated Notes due 2006.  The net proceeds from the Note Offering were 
approximately $53,600,000 and were used to repay the Company's $30,000,000 
term loan and to pay down its revolving line of credit.  See Note 3 of Notes 
to Condensed Financial Statements.

          The Company currently maintains with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as 
successor to First Interstate Bank of California, a $45 million revolving 
line of credit.  As of September 27, 1996, the Company had outstanding 
borrowings under this revolving line of credit of $10,000,000 and additional 
borrowing capacity of $31,000,000.

          Working capital increased to $43,311,000 on September 27, 1996 from 
$34,076,000 on December 31, 1995, an increase of $9,235,000.  During the 
first nine months of 1996, the Company generated $14,204,000 of earnings 
before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") as 
compared to EBITDA of $5,765,000 for the first nine months of 1995, an 
increase of 146%.

          During the first nine months of 1996, operating activities 
generated $8,570,000 in cash from net income, depreciation, amortization, 
deferred income taxes and decreases in other assets.  During the same period, 
the Company invested $215,000 in receivables, $5,589,000 in inventories and 
$291,000 in accounts payable and accrued expenses.  Thus, operating 
activities for the first nine months of 1996 provided net cash of $2,475,000, 
as compared to net cash of $1,083,000 used in operating activities for the 
first nine months of 1995.  During the first nine months of 1996, the Company 
used an additional $6,897,000 of cash for investing activities, including 
$1,005,000 for capital expenditures, $3,119,000 for acquisition costs 
relating to the MS Acquisition and $2,773,000 for payment of restructuring 
costs accrued in connection with the Deanco Acquisition.  See Note 2 of Notes 
to Condensed Financial Statements.  This use of cash was financed by 
borrowings.

     For the quarter ended September 27, 1996, inventory turnover was 4.2x 
compared to 4.9x for the quarter ended June 28, 1996 and 5.0x for the quarter 
ended December 31, 1995.  The inventory turnover of 4.2x for the third 
quarter of 1996 is below the Company's current target for inventory turnover 
and was primarily due to component distribution customers decreasing their 
inventory stocking levels and suppliers rescheduling their shipments in 
response to changes in market conditions during the third quarter.  The 
Company has implemented programs to adjust inventory levels to the changes in 
demand.

     Days sales outstanding were 46.1 days at September 27, 1996 compared to 
46.4 days at June 28, 1996 and 41.8 days at December 31, 1995.  This increase 
in the number of days outstanding is due primarily to the fact that Deanco's 
days outstanding were historically higher than those of the Company.  
Management is taking steps to improve the receivables days outstanding.
