NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                       

A)   PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The consolidated financial statements include the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiary.  All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     The consolidated financial statements included herein have
been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q. 
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

     These consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the summary of accounting policies and notes to
consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995.

     In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial
statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for such
periods.  However, these results are not necessarily indicative of
the results for any other interim period or the full year.

B)   ACQUISITION

     Effective July 1, 1995, the Company acquired substantially all
of the assets and assumed substantially all of the liabilities of
Valtron Technologies, Inc. in Valencia, California for 476,193
shares of the Company's common stock with an approximate aggregate
market value of $3,750,000 and two subordinated notes aggregating
$1,000,000.  The notes mature in February 1996 and bear interest at
9% per annum.

     Pursuant to the purchase agreement, the Company guaranteed to
one of the selling shareholders one-half the dollar value of the
aggregate purchase price in cash or additional shares of common
stock.  As a result, the Company expects to issue approximately
165,000 additional shares of common stock.

     The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase
method and, accordingly, the operating results of Valtron have been
included in the consolidated operating results since the date of
acquisition.

     The cost of the acquisition has been allocated on the basis of
the fair market value of the assets acquired and the liabilities
assumed.  The resulting goodwill will be amortized over 25 years on
a straight line basis. 

     The historical results of the Company for the periods
presented would not be materially different on a pro forma basis.

C)   INVENTORY
     Inventory consists of:
                                 December 31,       March 31,
                                    1995             1995

Finished Goods                  $  49,609,708     $ 25,744,443 
Spare Parts, Net                    8,270,104        6,284,694 
                                _____________     ____________
                                $  57,879,812     $ 32,029,137 


     Accumulated amortization of spare parts inventory was
$2,969,014  and $1,554,217 at December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1995,
respectively.  Amortization expense amounted to $1,488,575 and
$682,047 for the nine-month periods ended December 31, 1995 and
1994, respectively.

D)   OTHER CURRENT ASSETS

     The balance in other current assets at December 31, 1995 and
March 31, 1995 includes receivables from major vendors for returned
goods, marketing and other programs of $9,847,221 and $9,895,946,
respectively.

E)   CREDIT FACILITY

     The Company's credit facility with IBM Credit Corporation
includes the repayment of a promissory note and several financial
covenants.  As of December 31, 1995, the Company failed to meet the
terms of the promissory note and to meet certain financial ratios
required under the agreement.  IBM Credit Corporation waived these
events of default and has agreed to modify the existing agreement
subject to the completion of raising additional financing.  (See
Note I)

F)   RESTRICTED STOCK GRANTS

     In April 1995, the Company issued 72,225 shares of common
stock to certain employees as part of amendments to existing
employment agreements.  Pursuant to the terms of the amended
agreements, the shares are subject to certain restrictions which
expire no later than March 31, 1998.  The restrictions lapse
equally each year for the term of the grant and with respect to all
shares in the event of termination of employment for any reason
other than "cause", voluntary termination for "good reason" and
death or disability, as defined.  If at any time prior to the
expiration of the restriction period, employment is terminated "for
cause" or any other reason not provided for under the agreement,
any such shares still subject to restrictions, as previously
described, shall be transferred to the Company, without monetary
consideration.

     The value of restricted stock grants, net of amortization, was
$286,819 at December 31, 1995 and is included as a reduction to
common stock in the accompanying consolidating balance sheet.

G)   SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

     In September 1995, the Company's shareholders approved the
resolution proposed by the Board of Directors to amend Article
Fourth of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to authorize
the Company to issue 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, without
par value, and to increase the number of authorized shares of
common stock, no par value, from 10,000,000 shares to 20,000,000
shares.

     As of December 31, 1995, there are no issued shares of
Preferred Stock.

H)   SUPPLEMENTARY CASH FLOW INFORMATION:

     The following is a summary of supplementary cash flow

PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED TO THE PERIOD ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1994

     Revenues increased by $58,500,000, or 91.2%, to $122,635,000
for the quarter ended December 31, 1995, as compared with
$64,135,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1994.  Revenues
increased by $165,015,000, or 93.9%, to $340,804,000 for the nine
months ended December 31, 1995, as compared with $175,789,000 for
the nine months ended December 31, 1994.  The increase primarily
relates to revenues contributed by prior year acquisitions and
continued growth in both the hardware and services segments of the
Company's business.  

     Product revenues, which include desktop computers, printers,
displays, LAN products, software and other peripherals, increased
by $52,520,000, or 92.0%, to $109,600,000 for the quarter ended
December 31, 1995 and $147,545,000, or 93.5%, to $305,326,000 for
the nine months ended December 31, 1995.  Service revenues, which
include consulting, training, networking, on-site maintenance and
project management, increased by $5,980,000, or 84.8%, to
$13,034,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1995 and
$17,470,000, or 97.0%, to $35,478,000 for the nine months ended
December 31, 1995.  Revenue increases over the prior period reflect
continued growth and the impact of recent acquisitions.

     Gross profit increased by 81.0%, or $6,118,000, from
$7,556,000 in the same quarter of last year to $13,674,000.  Gross
profit for the nine month period ended December 31, 1995 increased
by $18,106,000, or 89.5%, to $38,342,000 from $20,236,000 in the
nine-month period ended December 31, 1994.  This increase primarily
relates to the gross profit contribution provided by the acquired
companies.  As a percentage of revenues, gross profit remained
approximately the same as last year.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by
96.9%, or $5,437,000, from $5,613,000 in the third quarter of
fiscal 1995 to $11,050,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1996. 
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine-month
period increased $15,436,000, or 101.6%, from $15,196,000 in the
prior year fiscal period to $30,632,000 in the nine months ended
December 31, 1995.  This increase is primarily due to current and
prior year acquisitions.  As a percentage of revenues, selling,
general and administrative expenses increased to 9.0% in the
quarter ended December 31, 1995 from 8.8% in the comparable quarter
in the last fiscal year.  For the nine month period ended December
31, 1995, selling, general and administrative expenses, as a
percentage of revenues, increased to 9.0% from 8.6% in the
comparable period last fiscal year.  This increase is primarily due
to the acquisition of Valtron Technologies, Inc. which has a higher
selling, general and administrative percentage as a percentage of
revenues.

     Amortization of goodwill increased 199.2%, or $221,000, to
$333,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 from $112,000 in the
comparable quarter of last year.  Amortization of goodwill
increased $624,000, or 201.8%, for the nine-month period ended
December 31, 1995 from $309,000 in the same period last year.  This
increase reflects the amortization of the excess of purchase price
over net assets acquired and liabilities assumed for current and
prior year acquisitions.

     Interest expense was $2,022,000 in the third quarter of fiscal
1996 compared to $618,000 in the comparable quarter last year. 
Interest expense was $5,716,000 for the nine-month period ended
December 31, 1995 compared to $1,362,000 in the prior year period. 
The increase primarily relates to higher interest costs associated
with increased borrowings in connection with recent acquisitions
and borrowings under the line of credit to fund working capital
activities.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Net cash used in operating activities was funded by the
Company's Inventory and Working Capital Agreement with IBM Credit
Corporation.

     Net cash used in investing activities of $3,843,579 primarily
reflects capital expenditures in support of the Company's growth
and expenses related to acquisitions during fiscal year 1995 and
1996.  The Company has no material commitments for capital
expenditures for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1996.  

     Net cash provided by financing activities increased primarily
due to the net increase in notes payable under an Inventory and
Working Capital Agreement executed between the Company, Dataflex
Southwest Corporation and IBM Credit Corporation.

     In January 1996, the Company reached an agreement with
Recovery Equity Investors II, L.P. ("REI") whereby REI will invest
$10 million in exchange for 3.2 million shares of a new class of
Preferred Stock.  The agreement is contingent upon the Company
selling at least $10 million of subordinated debt, modifying its
existing borrowing agreements and satisfying certain other
conditions. 

     Management is continuing strategic actions initiated in March
1995 to reduce overall general and administrative costs by
consolidating duplicative department functions resulting from
fiscal 1995 acquisitions and by improving operating efficiencies.
