                                  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, 1996.

           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)         DISPOSITION OF BUSINESSES

           In October, the Company completed the sale of substantially
all the assets and the transfer of certain liabilities of its
Eastern and Midwestern regional operations (located in Edison, New
Jersey, New York City, New York, Bensenville, Illinois and
Milwaukee, Wisconsin) for $43,500,000 in cash, including $5,000,000
placed in escrow pending final adjustments.  The cash proceeds were
used to reduce the Company's interest-bearing obligations on its
credit facility with IBM Credit Corporation ("IBMCC").  The
anticipated loss on this transaction is included in the
Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months
ended September 30, 1996. The Eastern and Midwestern regions had
combined revenues of $45,286,000 and $85,068,000 and $36,871,000
and $78,712,000 for the three and six-month periods ended September
30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  

           In May, the Company completed the sale of substantially all
the assets and the transfer of substantially all the liabilities of
its Western region (primarily its Alameda, California and Tempe,
Arizona locations) for approximately $42,000,000 in cash, including
$5,000,000 placed in escrow pending final adjustments.  The cash
proceeds were used to reduce the Company's accounts payable and
interest-bearing obligations on its credit facility with IBMCC.

           In July, the Company completed the sale of substantially all
the assets and the transfer of substantially all the liabilities of
its Valtron division for $2,900,000 in cash, $750,000 in
forgiveness of a note payable and the receipt of a three-year note
of $850,000, bearing interest at 9% per annum.

           The aggregate anticipated loss on the sale of the Western
region and Valtron division was recorded at March 31, 1996.

C)         INVENTORY

           Inventory consists of:

                                     September 30,     March 31,
                                         1996           1996

Finished Goods                       $   6,451,481     $ 21,989,311 
Spare Parts, Net                         1,005,076        3,765,672 
                                     -------------     ------------
                                     $   7,456,557     $ 25,754,983 


           Accumulated amortization of spare parts inventory was $1,386,147 
and $906,887 at September 30, 1996 and March 31, 1996, respectively.  
Amortization expense amounted to $604,149 and $925,461 for the six-month periods
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

D)         OTHER CURRENT ASSETS

           The balance in other current assets at September 30, 1996 and March 
31, 1996 includes receivables from major vendors for returned goods, marketing 
and other programs of $3,792,448 and $7,375,799, respectively.


E)         CONTINGENCIES

           A suit was filed against the Company in August, 1996 alleging the 
Company breached a registration agreement executed in connection with the 
August, 1994 purchase of all the issued and outstanding common stock of 
Sunland Computer Services, Inc. The Company intends to vigorously defend 
this suit and the Company's liability, if any, is not determinable at this time.
The Company believes the ultimate resolution of this matter  will not have a 
material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company.

</TABLE>

PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THE PERIOD ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

           Revenues decreased by $23,969,000, or 22.2%, to $83,875,000
for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, as compared with
$107,844,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1995.  For the six
months ended September 30, 1996, revenues decreased by $48,263,000,
or 22.1%, to $169,906,000, as compared with $218,169,000 for the
six months ended September 30, 1995.  The decrease in revenues for
the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 1996 is
primarily attributable to the sale of the Company's Western region
operations as of April 1, 1996.  On a comparable basis, excluding
revenues associated with the Western region, revenues increased by
$11,421,000, or 15.8% and $21,281,000, or 14.3% for the three and
six-month periods ended September 30, 1996, as compared with the
comparable periods in the prior year.  This increase primarily
relates to continued growth in the Company's Midwest and Southeast
regions partially offset by a decline in revenues from the Eastern
region.

           Gross profit decreased by $3,237,000, or 25.4%, to $9,531,000
in the second quarter of the current fiscal year as compared with
$12,768,000 in the second quarter of last fiscal year.  For the six
months ended September 30, 1996, gross profit decreased by
$4,768,000, or 19.3%, to $19,900,000, as compared with $24,668,000
for the six months ended September 30, 1995.  This decrease
primarily relates to the exclusion of gross profit contribution
provided by the Western region.  As a percentage of revenues, gross
profit was 11.4% and 11.7% for the three and six-month periods
ended September 30, 1996 as compared with 11.8% and 11.3% for the
three and six-month periods ended September 30, 1995.  The decrease
in gross profit as a percentage of sales in the second quarter
period reflects a slight softening in hardware margins as compared
to the prior year.  The increase in gross profit as a percentage of
sales for the six months ended September 30, 1996 as compared with
the prior year is primarily due to the disposition of less
profitable services business in the Western region.  

           Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by
$2,371,000, or 23.3% and $2,359,000, or 12.0% to $7,791,000 and
$17,222,000 as compared with $10,162,000 and $19,581,000 for the
three and six-month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.  This decrease primarily relates to the sale of the
Company's Western region operations.  As a percentage of revenues,
selling, general and administrative expenses were 9.3% and 10.1% as
compared with 9.4% and 9.0% for the three and six-month periods
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The increase in
selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenues for the six months ended September 30, 1996 as compared
with the prior year reflects selling, general and administrative
expenses associated with the Company's Valtron division which was
acquired in July 1995 and disposed of in July 1996.

           Amortization of goodwill decreased by $125,000, or 40.0% and
$219,000 or 36.5% to $191,000 and $381,000 as compared with
$316,000 and $600,000 for the three and six-month periods ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, due primarily to the
disposition of goodwill associated with the sale of the Company's
Western region.

           Interest expense decreased by $387,000 or 19.0% and $358,000,
or 9.7% to $1,652,000 and $3,336,000 as compared with $2,040,000
and $3,694,000 for the three and six-month periods ended September
30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The decrease primarily relates to
reduced average borrowings resulting from the pay down of debt from
the use of proceeds on the sale of the Western region partially
offset by higher interest costs from increased interest rates.

           Loss on disposition of business represents the aggregate
difference between the carrying value of the net assets of the sale
of the Eastern and Midwestern regional operations and the estimated
net realizable value of these net assets.  The Company has recorded
a loss of approximately $6,200,000 on the disposition of these
businesses.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

           Net cash provided by operating activities was funded primarily
by proceeds from the disposition of the Company's Western region
and Valtron division and cash flow from operations.

           Net cash used in investing activities of $1,162,000 reflects
capital expenditures in support of the Company's growth.  The
Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures for
the fiscal year ending March 31, 1997.

           Net cash used in financing activities primarily reflects a net
decrease in notes payable of $31,022,000 resulting from the use of
proceeds from the sale of the Company's Western region and Valtron
division and cash flow from operations.

           In October 1996, the Company completed the sale of
substantially all the assets and the transfer of certain
liabilities of its Eastern and Midwestern regional operations for
$43,500,000 in cash, including $5,000,000 placed in escrow pending
final adjustments.  The proceeds were used to reduce the Company's
interest bearing obligations on its credit facility with IBM Credit
Corporation.
