                            DATAFLEX CORPORATION
                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A)  PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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, as amended, for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1997.

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)  EARNINGS PER SHARE

For the period ending December 31, 1997, the Company adopted the Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" which requires
disclosure of basic and diluted earnings per share.  Under the new standard,
basic earnings per share is computed as earnings divided by weighted average
shares outstanding, excluding the dilutive effects of stock options and other
potentially dilutive securities to determine basic earnings per share.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated reflecting all dilutive options
and warrants.  The adoption of this new standard had an immaterial impact on
basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine month periods
ending December 31, 1997 and 1996.  All prior period disclosures have been
restated to conform to the current presentation.

Options to purchases 349,700 and 600,020 shares of common stock at prices
ranging from $4 to $8.50 per share were outstanding during 1997 and 1996, but
were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the
options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common
shares.  The options, which expire on various dates ranging from October 10,
2000 through August 6, 2007, were still outstanding at December 31, 1997 and
1996.

C)  ACQUISITIONS OF BUSINESSES

In September 1997, the Company paid $1.6 million to National Data Products Inc.
("NDP"), formerly a computer reseller that was acquired by the Company in
January 1995.  The payment related to resolution of the contingent purchase
price under the 




                                      4

acquisition agreement and is included in Goodwill.

D)  DISPOSITION OF BUSINESSES

On April 18, 1997, the Company completed the sale of certain assets of its
Kindergarten through 12th Grade Education division (the "Education Division") to
Computer Plus, Inc. ("Computer Plus") for approximately $4,300,000, including a
$150,000 escrow pending the future settlement of contingencies as described in
the agreement.  The estimated fair market value of the net assets were included
in "Assets Held for Sale" in the March 31, 1997 Consolidated Balance Sheet.  The
proceeds from the sale were used to reduce the Company's short term debt.  The
Company recorded a loss on impairment of $2,941,185 related to this transaction
primarily due to the write off of Goodwill of $5,864,000 attributable to the
Education Division.  The loss is included in the Consolidated Statement of
Operations for the year ended March 31, 1997.  The Education Division recorded
revenues of $4,242,581 for the three months ended December 31, 1996.

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 (located in Edison, New Jersey, New York, New York, Bensenville,
Illinois and Milwaukee, Wisconsin) to Ameridata of New Jersey, Inc. for
$42,300,000 in cash, after reconciliation in accordance with the asset purchase
agreement, and $1,900,000 in accounts receivable from the Midwestern and
Eastern regional operations.  The cash proceeds were used to reduce the
Company's revolving line of credit (the "Line of Credit")with NationsCredit
Commercial Corporation of America ("NationsCredit") and NationsBank, N.A.
(South) ("NationsBank").  The loss on this transaction of $8,978,970 is
included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended March
31, 1997.  The Eastern and Midwestern regions had no revenues recorded for the
three months ended December 31, 1996.

In July 1996, 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.  No
revenues were recorded for the Valtron division for the three months ended
December 31, 1996.

In May 1996, the Company completed the sale of substantially all the assets and
the transfer of substantially all the liabilities of its Western region to
Vanstar Corporation (primarily its Alameda, California and Tempe, Arizona
locations) for approximately $38,100,000 and $400,000 in vendor receivables,
after the settlement of contingencies in accordance with the agreement.  The
cash proceeds were used to reduce the Company's accounts payable and interest-
bearing obligations under its credit facility.  The loss on disposition of
$4,631,820 was recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the
year ended March 31, 1996.






                                      5

E)   LOSS ON IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

The Company also recorded a loss on impairment of $339,040 on the proposed sale
of certain land and buildings in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997.  In August
1997, the Company completed the sale of its headquarters located in Clearwater,
Florida for approximately $1.0 million dollars and $150,000 in deferred rent
expense.  The $1.0 million was used to retire the Company's existing mortgage
on the property. The estimated fair market value of the net assets to be
disposed was included in the "Assets Held for Sale - Long Term" at March 31,
1997.  The loss on impairment was included in Consolidated Statement of
Operations for the year ended March 31, 1997.

F)  CREDIT FACILITY

In December 1996, the Company entered into a two year $38,000,000 credit
facility with NationsCredit and NationsBank, which replaces its former
$120,000,000 credit facility with another bank.  The new facility reduces
interest rates the Company is paying for its working capital loans.  The
structure of the short-term debt includes the Line of Credit and an inventory
financing agreement.

G)  CONTINGENCIES

In August 1996, the Company and Richard C. Rose were named as defendants in a
suit filed in state court in New Jersey, by Gordon McLenithan, a former
executive officer of the Company. Mr. McLenithan alleges that the Company
failed to pay him an amount allegedly owed to Mr. McLenithan upon a change in
control of the Company. Mr. McLenithan also charges Mr. Rose with defamation
and interference with contractual relations. The lawsuit is in the initial
stages of litigation and the Company has denied Mr. McLenithan's allegations
and intends to vigorously contest the suit.  The Company is currently unable to
predict the outcome of this lawsuit.

Other claims, suits and complaints arise in the ordinary course of the
Company's business.  In the opinion of Company management, such pending matters
are without merit or are of such kind, or involve such amounts, as would not
have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of
operations of the Company.

Revenues decreased by $2,610,189 or 6.4%, to $38,382,456 for the three months
ended December 31, 1997 as compared to $40,992,645 for the three months ended
December 31, 1996.  For the nine months ended December 31, 1997, revenues
decreased by $102,942,838 or 48.8% to $107,955,786, as compared with
$210,898,624 for the nine months ended December 31, 1996.  The decrease in
revenues is due primarily to the sale of the Midwestern and Eastern regions
operations in October 1996 and the sale of the Education Division in April
1997.  On a comparable basis, excluding revenues for the Midwestern and 
Eastern regions and the Education Division, revenues increased by $1,636,207,
or 4.5% and $19,517, or less than .1%, for the three months and nine months 
ended December 31, 1997, as compared to the three and nine months ended 
December 31, 1996.

Gross Profit decreased by $1,335,431, or 23.5%, to $4,336,997 for the three
months ended December 31, 1997 as compared to $5,672,428 for the three months
ended December 31, 1996.  For the nine months ended December 31, 1997, gross
profit decreased by $13,187,035 or 51.6% to $12,384,853 as compared to
$25,571,888 for the nine months ended December 31, 1996.  On a comparable basis,
excluding the Midwestern and Eastern regions and the Education Division from
1996 results, gross profit increased by $182,377 or 4.4% and $184,990 or 1.5%
for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 1997 as compared to the
three and nine months ended December 31, 1996.

As a percentage of revenues, gross profit was 11.3% and 11.5%, respectively, for
the three and nine months ended December 31, 1997 as compared to 13.8% and 12.1%
for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1996.  The decrease in gross
profit, as a percentage of sales, for the three months ended December 31, 1997
is primarily due to the sale of the Education division, which contributed a high
gross margin percentage.  Gross margins also decreased due to a decline in
service revenues, which yield a higher gross margin percentage.  On a comparable
basis, excluding the Midwestern and Eastern regions and the Education Division,
the gross profit percentage was 11.3% and 11.5%, respectively, for the three and
nine months ended December 31, 1997 as compared to 11.3% for the three and nine
months ended December 31, 1996.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $816,358 or 18.7%
and $11,777,871 or 54.5% to $3,556,129 and $9,816,360, respectively for the
three and nine months ended December 31, 1997 as compared to $4,372,487 and
$21,594,231 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1996.   This
decrease primarily relates to the sale of the Midwestern and Eastern regions in
October 1996 and the sale of the Education Division in April 1997.  As a
percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses were 9.3%
and 9.1%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1997,
as compared to 10.7% and 10.2% for the three and nine months ended December 31,
1996.  The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenues reflects lower corporate overhead following the sales of
the Midwestern and Eastern regions and the Education Division.

Amortization of goodwill decreased by $43,972 or 29.7% and $217,338 or 41.1% to
$104,028 and $312,082, respectively, for the three and nine months ended
December 31, 1997 as compared to $148,000 and $529,420 for the three and nine
months ended December 31, 1996, primarily due to the dispositions of the
Midwestern region and the Education Division.

Net interest expense decreased by $753,073 or 105.2% and $3,830,074 or 94.5% to
($37,167) and $221,465, respectively, for the three and nine months ended
December 31, 1997, as compared to $715,906 and $4,051,539 for the three and
nine months ended December 31, 1996.  The decrease primarily relates to reduced
average borrowings resulting from the reduction of debt from the use of the
proceeds of the sales of the Midwestern and Eastern regions and the Education
Division and a reduction in interest rates.  The Company also received $124,000
in interest income from an income tax refund it received during the quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of December 31, 1997, the Company used approximately $1.0 million of cash
flow to fund continuing operations.  As of December 31, 1997, $16.2 million was
outstanding under the Company's line of credit with NationsBank, N.A. (South)
and NationsCredit Commercial Corporation of America (the "Line of Credit").  The
Line of Credit currently provides that the Company may borrow up to $38.0
million at the London InterBank Offering interest rate ("LIBOR") plus 2 1/2% per
annum.  The Line of Credit has an initial term through December 17, 1998, and
borrowings under the Line of Credit are collateralized by most of the Company's
inventory and accounts receivable.

During the nine months ended December 31, 1997, investing activities provided
$4.1 million, net, from the sale of the Education Division.  The funds were
received in April 1997 and were used to further reduce the balance under the
Line of Credit.  The Company retained and collected approximately $2.8 million
in accounts receivable in connection with the sale of the Education Division.
Additionally, in May 1997, the Company received approximately $3.8 of the $5.0
million escrowed funds relating to the sale of the Company's Midwestern and
Eastern regions, which were used to further decrease amounts outstanding under
the Line of Credit, which were used to decrease amounts outstanding under the
Line of Credit.  The Company also received $1.9 million in accounts receivable
generated by the former Midwestern and Eastern regions, approximately $740,000
of which had been collected as of December 31, 1997.

During the nine months ended December 31, 1997, cash used in investing
activities of $1.6 million reflects cash used for the payment of contingent
purchase price on a previous acquisition of a business. The Company also used
$900,000 for capital expenditures in support of the Company's growth.  The
Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures for the year
ending March 31, 1998.

Net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended December 31,
1997 was $3.0 million, resulting primarily from a decrease in short term debt
of $2.1 million resulting from the use of proceeds from the dispositions of the
Company's Education Division and the Midwestern and Eastern regions.
In August 1997, the Company completed the sale of its headquarters in
Clearwater, Florida for approximately $1.0 million in cash and $150,000 in
credit for future rent expense.  The cash was used to retire the Company's
existing mortgage on the property.

The Company believes that the cash flow from operations and borrowings under
the Line of Credit, or other credit facilities that may become available to the
Company in the future, will be adequate to meet the working capital
requirements of the Company's current operations for at least the next 12
months.  The Company's estimate of the period of time the cash flow from
operations and borrowings under the Line of Credit will fund its working
capital requirements is a forward-looking statement that is subject to risks
and uncertainties, as noted at the beginning of this statement.
