             NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1:  GENERAL

The condensed financial statements included herein have been
prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to
such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading.  These condensed financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto in
the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31,
1993.

In the opinion of the Company, the unaudited condensed financial
statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary to present fairly the Company's
financial position as of February 28, 1994 and the results of its
operations for the three month and nine month periods and its cash
flows for the nine month periods ended February 28, 1994 and 1993.

<PAGE>
NOTE 2:  ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Reference is made to Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the summary of significant
accounting policies.

NOTE 3:  RESTRUCTURING CHARGE
As a result of a reorganization of the Company's field and
corporate support functions, the Company eliminated approximately
120 positions effective August 31, 1993.  To provide for the costs
of this reorganization,  a pre-tax charge of $890,000 was recorded
in the first quarter of fiscal 1994.

NOTE 4:  INCOME TAXES
In August, 1993 the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 was
enacted.  As a result of the Act,  a retroactive Federal tax
adjustment of $163,000, or $.02 per share, was charged to income
tax expense in the first quarter of fiscal 1994 for the period of
January to May 1993.  The tax rate increase did not have a material
impact on the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities.

NOTE 5:  TERM LOAN
In March, 1994, the Company obtained a commitment from First Union
National Bank of North Carolina for an unsecured term loan in the
amount of $25,000,000, with principal repayment due in 42 months. 
The Company, however, has the option of repaying the loan, or a

                               -6-

<PAGE>
portion thereof, prior to the maturity date.  The funds from this
loan will be used to finance the Company's investment in Sonepar
Electronique International, as described in Note 6.  The interest
rate on this loan will be based on 90 day LIBOR rates plus 1/2% and
the other major terms and conditions of the loan are comparable to
the bank credit line agreements as disclosed in the Notes to
Financial Statements in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K
for the year ended May 31, 1993.

NOTE 6:  INVESTMENT IN SONEPAR ELECTRONIQUE INTERNATIONAL
In March, 1994, the Company entered into an agreement in principle
to invest $151 million French Francs (approximately $26 million in
U.S. dollars) in Sonepar Electronique International ("SEI"), one of
the four largest electronic component distributors in Europe.  This
investment is in the form of an interest bearing, convertible note,
guaranteed in a manner acceptable to the Company as to default. 
The interest to be charged on the note will be the same as the
Company's borrowing rates under its unsecured term loan, as
described in Note 5.  The note plus accrued interest will be
converted in 1997 into a minority equity interest of up to 20% in
SEI if certain anticipated sales and pre-tax income goals are met. 
If these goals are not met, Marshall will have the option to call
for the repayment in U.S. dollar equivalent of the original loan
(plus accrued interest) or to convert the loan into a 20% equity
interest in SEI.  Following the conversion, SEI will be granted an

                               -7-
<PAGE>
option to purchase an equivalent amount in U.S. dollars of
Marshall's stock of up to 5% of Marshall's outstanding shares on a
fully diluted basis.  The option price will be based on market
prices at that time.  In addition, Marshall will have the option of
increasing its equity investment to 49% in SEI.

NOTE 7:  TWO-FOR-ONE STOCK SPLIT
All per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the two-for-one
stock split paid on February 28, 1994.

Three and Nine Month Periods Ended February 28, 1994 and 1993

The increase in net sales for the third quarter and the first nine
months of fiscal 1994, as compared to fiscal 1993, was largely due
to an increase in the sales volume of semiconductor and computer
subsystems products.  As compared to last year, sales of
semiconductor products increased by $41,832,000 and $138,031,000
for the three and nine month periods ended February 28, 1994,
respectively.  The increase in the sales of semiconductor products
was the result of the strong market demand for these products and
the additional sales of products from new suppliers.  The sales
volume of the Company's other major products was relatively
unchanged or decreased modestly from the prior year.

                               -9-
<PAGE>

The decrease in net margins for the third quarter and nine months
to date of fiscal 1994, as compared to fiscal 1993, was due to a
decline in the margins of most of the Company's major products. 
This decline in margins was due to market pressures on the pricing
of some of the Company's products and an increase in the sales
volume of lower margin products, such as DRAMS.  The Company's
acceptance of some large customer orders at lower than normal
margins also contributed to the decrease in margins.

The increase in selling, general and administrative ("SG & A")
expenses, in dollars, for the third quarter and nine months to date
of fiscal 1994, as compared to fiscal 1993, was primarily due to
higher operating costs to meet the requirements from the
significant increase in sales volume.  In addition, the Company is
amortizing $463,000 per quarter of deferred computer software costs
associated with its new operating and financial systems that became
operational in December, 1992.  Fiscal 1994 expenses also included
a charge of $890,000 that was recorded in the first quarter related
to the costs of the elimination of approximately 120 positions. 
The elimination of these positions, which was effective August 31,
1993, was the result of a reorganization of the Company's field and
corporate support functions.  The amounts incurred for the third
quarter and nine months to date of fiscal 1994 would have been
higher except for the savings from the elimination of approximately
120 positions as of August 31, 1993.  This reorganization had the

                              -10-
<PAGE>

effect of reducing the Company's expenses by approximately
$1,000,000 per quarter for the second and third quarters of fiscal
1994.  Primarily due to the savings from the August, 1993
restructuring and the higher sales volume, SG & A, as a percentage
of sales, declined significantly for the third quarter and nine
months to date of fiscal 1994.  The SG & A  amounts for the third
quarter of fiscal 1993 included some extraordinary levels of
expenses related to the Company's conversion to its new computer
software systems in December, 1992.  As reported previously, the
Company estimated that it had incurred approximately $1.5 million
to $2.0 million in additional costs, affecting both cost of sales
and selling, general and administrative expenses in the third
quarter of fiscal 1993 associated with the computer software
conversion.

The decrease in interest expense for the third quarter of fiscal
1994, as compared to fiscal 1993, was due to lower borrowing levels
and the decline in interest rates from fiscal 1993.  Interest
expense for the nine months to date of fiscal year 1994, as
compared to fiscal 1993, was unchanged.  

The Company's sources of liquidity at February 28, 1994 consisted
principally of working capital of $217,080,000 and unsecured bank
lines of credit of $70,000,000, of which $29,000,000 was used.  The
Company believes that its working capital, borrowing capabilities
and additional funds generated from operations should be sufficient
to finance its anticipated operations requirements.
