PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

    Electronics  distributors form an integral part of the electronics industry.
Most domestic  and  foreign  manufacturers  of  electronic  components  rely  on
independent   authorized  distributors,   such  as   Marshall  Industries  ("the
Company"), to augment  their product marketing  operations and provide  stocking
and  service  capabilities. These  manufacturers  are relying  to  an increasing
extent on distributors to market their products.

    The Company is the  fourth largest domestic distributor  in sales volume  of
industrial electronic components and production supplies. Through its network of
37  sales and distribution  facilities and 3  corporate support and distribution
centers in the  United States and  Canada, the Company  supplies and services  a
broad   range  of   products,  including   semiconductors,  passive  components,
connectors and  interconnect  products,  and  computer  systems  and  peripheral
products,  as  well  as  production  supplies.  The  distribution  of electronic
components accounted for approximately 94% of total Company sales in fiscal 1994
and 1995. The distribution of  industrial production supplies accounted for  the
balance,  or 6%,  of total Company  sales in  each of such  periods. The Company
believes it is the  largest domestic distributor in  sales volume of  industrial
production supplies to customers in the electronics industry.

ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS DISTRIBUTION

    The  distribution of semiconductor products  accounted for approximately 70%
and 73%, respectively, of total Company  sales in fiscal 1994 and 1995.  Passive
components, connectors and interconnect products accounted for approximately 13%
and  11%,  respectively, of  total  Company sales  for  those periods.  Sales of
computer systems and  peripheral products  accounted for  approximately 11%  and
10%, respectively, of total Company sales in fiscal 1994 and 1995.

    Texas  Instruments ("TI") is the Company's largest supplier of semiconductor
products. TI's semiconductor products accounted for approximately 15% and 14% of
total Company sales in fiscal 1994  and 1995, respectively. The Company  carries
the  full range of semiconductor products manufactured by TI and distributes the
products of a  number of other  leading American manufacturers.  The Company  is
also the major distributor in sales volume of Japanese semiconductor products in
the  United States. Sales of these  products accounted for approximately 19% and
22% of total Company sales in fiscal 1994 and 1995, respectively.  Additionally,
the  Company distributes components manufactured  by European suppliers, such as
Siemens Components, Inc. ("Siemens"),  Philips Semiconductors, a North  American
Philips    Company   ("Philips"),   formerly    "Signetics,"   and   SGS-Thomson
Microelectronics Inc. ("SGS-Thomson").

    The Company purchases electronic components from over 50 major suppliers  in
the following general categories:

    SEMICONDUCTOR  PRODUCTS:   Semiconductor products include  memory, logic and
programmable logic devices, microprocessors and microperipheral components.  The
Company's  principal  suppliers  are  Atmel  Corporation,  Cypress Semiconductor
Corporation, Fujitsu, Hitachi, IBM Technology  Products, a unit of IBM,  Lattice
Semiconductor  Corporation, Linear  Technology, Philips,  NEC Electronics, Inc.,
Siemens, SGS-Thomson, Sony Electronics, Inc., Sharp Electronics Corporation, TI,
Toshiba America, Inc., and Xilinx, Inc.

                                       2
<PAGE>

    PASSIVE COMPONENTS:  The  Company distributes passive components,  including
multilayer  ceramic, tantalum and foil capacitors  as well as resistor networks.
These products are manufactured by such leading suppliers as AVX Corporation,  a
subsidiary of Kyocera Corporation, and Bourns, Inc.

    CONNECTORS  AND INTERCONNECT PRODUCTS:  Connectors and interconnect products
include surface  mount  sockets and  fiber  optic systems,  along  with  printed
circuit  board level connectors. The Company's principal suppliers of connectors
and interconnect products are AMP Incorporated and T&B/Ansley Corporation, which
rank among the leading suppliers of these products.

    COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND PERIPHERALS:   The Company's product offerings  include
printers,   keyboards,  optical,   hard  and   floppy  disk   drives,  monitors,
motherboards  for  personal  computers,   power  supplies,  and  other   systems
components.  Computer Products Inc., Fujitsu, IBM Personal Computer Company, NEC
Electronics, Inc., Sharp Electronics Corporation, Sony Components Products,  and
Toshiba  America  Information Systems,  Inc. are  the  major suppliers  of these
products to the Company.

    VALUE ADDED SERVICES:  In addition  to the distribution of component  parts,
the  Company provides a  variety of value  added services to  its customers. The
Company provides programmable logic array and PROM and EPROM programming,  along
with  certain types  of testing services.  The Company  also packages electronic
component kits  to  customers'  specifications ("kitting")  and  provides  cable
assembling  services. Through  the use of  third party  contractors, the Company
provides contract manufacturing capabilities.

PRODUCTION SUPPLIES DISTRIBUTION

    The Company believes that  it is the largest  domestic distributor in  sales
volume  of  industrial  production  supplies  to  customers  in  the electronics
industry. Such  supplies  include  hand tools,  static  control  products,  test
equipment,  soldering supplies,  soldering equipment and  work stations. Leading
suppliers include CooperTools, a division of Cooper Industries, Kester Solder, a
division of  Litton  Industries,  Fluke Corporation,  Tektronix,  Inc.,  Loctite
Corporation and 3M.

MARKETS

    The  Company currently  has a  national distribution  network in  the United
States and  Canada  consisting  of  37 sales  and  distribution  centers  and  3
corporate  support and  distribution centers. The  Company believes  that it has
sales facilities in all of the  major electronic products markets in the  United
States,  including the Los Angeles/Orange  County, San Francisco/Silicon Valley,
Boston, Chicago, Denver, Philadelphia, Portland, Seattle, Connecticut,  Florida,
New  Jersey, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, Ohio  and Texas areas. In Canada, the
Company has sales facilities in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. As a result  of
the  Company's  marketing  strategy  and  expansion  programs,  the  Company  is
currently  distributing  products  manufactured  by  over  50  major  electronic
component suppliers to approximately 30,000 customers.

    As  described in Note 6 to the financial statements, the Company has made an
investment in Sonepar Electronique  International, the third largest  electronic
component distributor in Europe.

    At   May  31,   1995,  the   Company  had   approximately  1,370  employees,
substantially all of whom were employed full-time.

                                       3

CUSTOMERS AND MARKETING

    Distributors offer electronics customers the convenience of immediate  price
and  delivery information, backlog status,  diverse off-the-shelf inventories in
small and  large  quantities,  rapid  deliveries  and  the  financing  of  their
purchases.    The   Company's   electronics   distribution   business   services
approximately 30,000 customers, the majority of which are small and medium  size
companies  in the  following industries: computers,  communications, capital and
office  equipment,  industrial  control   and  medical  equipment  and   systems
integration.  In  recent years,  contract manufacturers  have also  become major
customers for electronic component distributors, including the Company, as  many
original  equipment manufacturers ("OEM's") have outsourced their purchasing and
manufacturing functions to them. No single  customer accounted for more than  4%
of the Company's sales during any of the last five fiscal years.

    The Company's products are sold by both field and inside sales people. Sales
personnel  work directly with  customers providing price,  delivery, backlog and
technical information regarding the products which the Company distributes. Each
sales and distribution center is electronically linked to the Company's  central
computer  system, which provides  fully integrated on-line,  real-time data with
respect to the  Company's nationwide  inventory levels.  The Company's  computer
system  facilitates  the  control  of  purchasing  and  payables,  shipping  and
receiving, and billing and  collections. A salesperson may  order shipment of  a
product from any distribution center within a matter of minutes. The Company has
made  significant investments,  particularly during  the last  several years, to
increase the capabilities of its computerized information systems. In  December,
1992,  the  Company implemented  new software  for  its operating  and financial
systems. The Company invested approximately $9 million in the design,  purchase,
and  implementation  of these  systems.  In the  opinion  of the  Company, these
systems, which were written  in a contemporary  language and architecture,  have
the  capabilities to  support future changes  and enhancements  required to meet
market needs and growth. These systems have also allowed the Company to increase
its electronic  data interchange  ("EDI") capabilities  with its  suppliers  and
customers.  Due to the high volume  of transactions and the cost competitiveness
of the electronics components distribution  industry, the Company believes  that
the  expansion  and upgrading  of  its information  systems  will be  an ongoing
requirement.   In   July,   1994,   the   Company   introduced   an   electronic
telecommunications  service  that  allows  customers  to  design,  engineer  and
purchase products via  the "Internet". In  late fiscal 1995,  the outside  sales
staff at certain sales locations were equipped with laptop computers to increase
and  enhance their productivity  and customer service  capabilities. The Company
plans to complete this field sales automation program in fiscal 1996.

    The Company has  focused on  obtaining franchises with  suppliers which  are
among  the  leading manufacturers  of the  product  categories that  the Company
distributes. The Company offers a broad line of products to meet its  customers'
needs.  The Company has also concentrated its inventory and marketing efforts on
the following product categories that it believes are the greatest growth  areas
of the distribution business: (1) high performance memory and programmable logic
devices; (2) data conversion products; (3) microprocessors; (4) computer systems
and  peripherals;  (5)  printed  circuit  board  level  connectors;  (6) passive
components;  and  (7)  industrial   production  supplies  and   instrumentation.
Additionally,  the Company is focusing on having its sales force sell a balanced
mix of all types of products along with expanding its customer base.

RELATIONSHIP WITH SUPPLIERS

    The majority of the products sold  by the Company are purchased pursuant  to
distributor  agreements. These agreements  are typically for  terms of one year,
renewable annually, non-exclusive, and authorize the Company to sell through its
sales and distribution centers all or a portion of the products produced by that
manufacturer. These agreements may be cancelled by either party on short  notice
and  generally  provide  for  a  return  of  the  manufacturer's  inventory upon
cancellation. The Company's  ten largest suppliers  accounted for  approximately
54%  and 60%,  respectively, of  total Company  sales in  fiscal 1994  and 1995.
Except for TI, which accounted for 15% and 14% of total Company sales for fiscal
1994 and 1995, no other supplier accounted for

                                       4
<PAGE>

more than  10%.  Cancellation  of  an  agreement  with,  or  trade  restrictions
affecting  purchases from, a major supplier could have a material adverse effect
upon the Company's  business. The Company  believes that it  has a  satisfactory
relationship with each of its suppliers. The Company considers its relationships
with  its Japanese suppliers to be  sound. Nonetheless, because of uncertainties
relating to U.S. trade issues, the  possibility exists that continued access  to
Japanese  products could be affected. In  addition, the Company cannot determine
the direction of U.S. trade issues  or their ultimate effect on the  competitive
environment and the Company's results.

    Most    manufacturers   of   electronic    components,   including   foreign
manufacturers, protect  authorized distributors,  such as  the Company,  against
potential  inventory losses from  declining prices and  obsolescence. To protect
its  distributors  from  declining  market  prices,  most  electronic  component
manufacturers  allow their distributors pricing adjustments as products are sold
to customers  as well  as credits  on unsold  inventory when  the  manufacturers
reduce  prices on their price  lists. In addition, under  the terms of many such
agreements, the distributor  has the right  to return to  the manufacturer,  for
credit,  any product classified as obsolete  by the manufacturer and a specified
portion of other inventory items purchased within a designated period of time. A
manufacturer who elects to terminate  a distribution agreement without cause  is
generally  required  to  purchase  from the  distributor  the  products  of such
manufacturer carried in  the distributor's inventory.  While such agreements  do
not  protect the Company  totally from inventory losses,  such agreements do, in
management's opinion,  provide  substantial  protection  from  such  losses.  No
assurance  can be given, however, that such price adjustment and return policies
will continue.

    To service its kitting and contract manufacturing customers, as described on
page 3, the Company must buy a certain amount of products from third parties  on
a  non-franchised basis. Since there are typically no return or price protection
privileges on these purchases, there  are significantly greater inventory  risks
associated with kitting and contract manufacturing orders than with the purchase
and stocking of inventory pursuant to its franchise agreements.

NATURE OF BUSINESS AND COMPETITION

    Although  the Company's business is not seasonal to any material extent, its
business is affected  by the  cyclical nature  of the  electronics industry  and
overall  trends in the general economy. In addition, the Company has experienced
industry-wide product shortages and  excess supplies from  time to time.  During
the last several months, there has been a tightening of product availability and
long  lead times  for some  products, such as  certain memory  and surface mount
devices.

    Supplying and servicing  the electronics  industry is  a highly  competitive
business.  The competition is  from other large  national distributors, numerous
local and regional  distributors, as well  as some of  the Company's  suppliers.
Providing  service to customers is the major competitive factor of the industry.
In  addition  to  providing  basic  distribution  services  such  as   technical
information,  product availability and competitive  pricing, prompt delivery and
credit, the  Company  offers  many sophisticated  value  added  services.  These
additional services include component testing and assembly; just in time ("JIT")
inventory  management and  delivery systems;  kitting and  contract assembly. In
recent years, the  Company has  introduced a number  of sophisticated  automated
inventory  procurement and management services for its customers through its EDI
and  auto  replenishment  programs.  The  Company  considers  its  emphasis   on
high-quality  customer service, monitored by statistical process control ("SPC")
methods, to be one of its strengths.

    From  time  to   time,  the   Company  has   experienced  competition   from
"unauthorized"  U.S. distributors of Japanese  semiconductors who purchase these
products in  foreign countries  at  prices below  those  which the  Company  may
purchase  such  products directly  from its  suppliers.  In addition,  a limited
number of the Company's customers have moved their manufacturing operations  out
of  the United  States in  recent years.  Such changes  have not  had a material
impact on the Company's business.

                                       5
<PAGE>

    Information concerning backlog is  not material to  an understanding of  the
Company's business, as the Company's objective is to ship orders on the same day
they  are received unless the customer  has requested a specific future delivery
date on an order. Additionally, it is common industry practice for customers, in
most cases, to  be able  to re-schedule or  cancel orders  with future  delivery
dates  without penalties. In  the electronics industry,  the book-to-bill ratio,
which is the ratio of sales orders received to shipments made, is commonly  used
as  an indicator of business trends.  Since late calendar 1991, the book-to-bill
ratios for both the industry and the Company have been generally positive.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

    The Company  presently  has  37  sales and  distribution  facilities  and  3
corporate  support and distribution centers. The Company's executive offices and
corporate support and distribution center  are located in El Monte,  California.
This facility is Company owned, has 258,000 square feet of space and utilizes an
automated  inventory  handling system.  The  Company owns  an  additional 65,500
square foot warehouse and office facility in El Monte.

    In addition  to  the  El Monte  facilities,  a  majority of  the  sales  and
distribution  facilities located in Marshall's  major markets are Company owned.
The three largest  facilities range from  approximately 58,000 to  approximately
65,000  square feet  in size  and are  located in  Milpitas, California; Irvine,
California; and  Boston,  Massachusetts. The  Company  also owns  facilities  in
Austin,  Texas;  Endicott, New  York;  San Diego,  California;  and Wallingford,
Connecticut of approximately 8,000 to 15,000 square feet each.

    The Company leases its remaining sales and distribution facilities. They are
located in  cities  throughout  the  United States  and  Canada,  vary  in  size
depending  on sales volume and are subject  to leases whose initial terms expire
at various dates through fiscal 2000. Substantially all of those leases  include
renewal provisions.

    In  the opinion of the Company, the  current facilities are adequate for the
Company's operating requirements.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    There are no material  pending legal proceedings to  which the Company is  a

FISCAL 1995 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1994

    The  increase in net sales for fiscal  1995, as compared to fiscal 1994, was
due primarily to  an increase  in the  sales volume  of semiconductor  products.
Sales  of semiconductor products increased by $157,126,000 primarily as a result
of the strong market demand for such products. The sales volume of the Company's
other major products increased modestly from the prior year.

    The decrease in  net margins for  fiscal 1995, as  compared to fiscal  1994,
resulted from market pressures on the pricing of most of the Company's products,
including  value added products,  and an increase  in the sales  volume of lower
margin products,  primarily memory  products. The  Company believes  that  these
conditions affecting margins may continue in the near term.

    The  increase in selling, general and administrative ("SG & A") expenses, in
dollars, for  fiscal 1995,  as compared  to fiscal  1994, was  primarily due  to
higher operating costs to meet the requirements from the significant increase in
sales  volume. SG  & A  expenses as a  percentage of  sales declined  to 12% for
fiscal 1995 as compared to 14% for fiscal 1994. Of the $5,067,000 increase in SG
& A expenses for fiscal 1995, compared to fiscal 1994, approximately  $2,200,000
was  attributable to higher salaries, incentives and fringe benefits. There were
also increases in delivery costs and bad debt expense, mostly due to the  higher
sales volume.

    Interest  expense,  net  of interest  income,  for fiscal  1995  remained at
relatively the same amount  as fiscal 1994, as  the lower borrowing levels  were
offset by higher interest rates.

FISCAL 1994 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1993

    The  increase in net sales for fiscal  1994, as compared to fiscal 1993, was
due to  an increase  in the  sales volume  of semiconductor  products. Sales  of
semiconductor  products  increased by  $178,237,000 as  a  result of  the strong
market demand and  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.

    The decrease in net margins for 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 resulted from market pressures on the pricing of many of the
Company's products, including some of the Company's value added products, and an
increase in the sales volume of lower margin products, such as DRAMS.

    The increase in SG & A expenses, in dollars, for fiscal 1994, as compared to
fiscal 1993,  was  primarily  due  to higher  operating  costs  to  support  the
significant  increase in sales  volume. In addition,  the Company was 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.  These  positions  were  eliminated  as  of  August  31,  1993  by  a
reorganization  of  the Company's  field  and corporate  support  functions. The
amounts incurred for the last nine months of fiscal 1994 would have been  higher
except   for  the  savings  from  the   elimination  of  these  positions.  This
reorganization reduced  the  Company's  fiscal 1994  expenses  by  approximately
$1,000,000  per  quarter  beginning the  second  quarter. 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 fiscal 1994 as compared to
fiscal 1993. The SG & A amounts for fiscal 1993 also included some extraordinary
levels of  expenses related  to the  Company's conversion  to its  new  computer
software  systems in December, 1992. The  Company estimated that it had incurred
approximately $2.4 million to $2.9  million in additional costs, affecting  both
cost  of sales and SG  & A expenses in fiscal  1993 associated with the computer
software conversion.

    Interest expense for fiscal 1994  remained relatively unchanged from  fiscal
1993,  as lower borrowing levels were  offset by higher interest rates beginning
in late fiscal 1994.

                                       10
<PAGE>

    In August, 1993 the  Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act  of 1993 was  enacted
which  essentially increased  the Company's  Federal tax  rate from  34% to 35%.
Additionally, as a result  of the Act, a  retroactive Federal tax adjustment  of
$163,000,  or $.01  per share, was  charged to  income tax expense  in the first
quarter of fiscal 1994 for the period of January to May 1993.

INCOME TAXES

    During the  fourth quarter  of  fiscal year  1993, the  Company  implemented
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  109  covering  income  tax
accounting. The  adoption  did not  have  a  material impact  on  the  financial
statements for fiscal year 1993.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The  Company has been able to fund  its working capital requirements for the
past five years through cash flow from operations and bank borrowings.

    For the five years  ended May 31, 1995,  the Company incurred  approximately
$14 million in net aggregate capital expenditures. Costs incurred to upgrade and
expand  the Company's  computer system and  the acquisition  and construction of
several  facilities  accounted  for  a   significant  portion  of  the   capital
expenditures  for  the  last  five  years.  Additionally,  the  Company incurred
approximately $9  million  for  the  design, purchase  and  development  of  new
computer  software for its  operating and financial  systems during fiscal years
1990 to 1993.

    The Company's sources of liquidity at May 31, 1995 consisted principally  of
working  capital of $254,394,000 and unsecured bank credit lines of $70,000,000,
of which $20,000,000 in borrowings  were outstanding. The Company believes  that
its  working  capital,  borrowing  capabilities, and  the  funds  generated from
operations  should  be  sufficient   to  finance  its  anticipated   operational
requirements.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To Marshall Industries:

    We  have audited the  accompanying balance sheets  of Marshall Industries (a
California corporation) as of May 31, 1994 and 1995, and the related  statements
of  income, shareholders' investment and cash flows  for each of the three years
in  the  period  ended  May  31,  1995.  These  financial  statements  are   the
responsibility  of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

    We conducted  our  audits in  accordance  with generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence  supporting
the  amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles used  and  significant estimates  made  by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    In our opinion, the financial  statements referred to above present  fairly,
in  all material respects,  the financial position of  Marshall Industries as of
May 31, 1994 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows  for
each  of the  three years in  the period ended  May 31, 1995  in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 1995

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Revenue Recognition: Sales are recognized at the time of product shipment.

    Depreciation  and Amortization: Depreciation on  buildings is computed using
the straight-line method over useful lives  of 25 years. Building and  leasehold
improvements  are amortized on the straight-line  method over the shorter of the
lives of the buildings or the remaining  terms of the leases or useful lives  of
the  assets. Depreciation on  all other plant  and equipment is  computed on the
straight-line and declining  balance methods  over useful  lives of  two to  ten
years. Maintenance and repairs and minor replacements of property are charged to
expense  when incurred.  Major expenditures  for additions  and improvements are
capitalized at cost. When assets are retired, or otherwise disposed of, the cost
and related reserves are  removed from the accounts,  and any resulting gain  or
loss is included in income.

    Interest  Expense: Interest income of  $1,180,000 is netted against interest
expense in fiscal  1995. Interest  income was not  material in  fiscal 1994  and
1993.

    Tax  Deferred  Profit Sharing  Plan: Under  the  provisions of  the Marshall
Industries  Tax  Deferred  Profit  Sharing  Plan  (the  "Plan"),   participating
employees  may  agree  to  defer  from  two  to  twelve  percent,  with  certain
limitations, of their earnings each payroll period, and such amount is deposited
in a nonforfeitable, fully vested trust account for the employees' benefit.  The
Company  contributes quarterly an  amount equal to 50  percent of the employees'
contributions, limited to 3% of such employee earnings for the quarter,  reduced
by  employee forfeitures  of prior Company  contributions. Company contributions
may be  limited to  the  extent of  net  profits and  must  be invested  in  the
Company's  common stock. The Plan, however, may  not own more than 20 percent of
the Company's outstanding shares. At May 31,  1995, the Plan owned less than  2%
of  the Company's outstanding shares. Company contributions and expenses related
to the Plan amounted to $952,000 in  1993, $1,125,000 in 1994 and $1,141,000  in
1995.

    Income  Taxes:  As discussed  in  Note 3,  during  fiscal 1993,  the Company
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109,  "Accounting
for  Income Taxes." Under SFAS No. 109,  deferred tax assets and liabilities are
computed based on the difference between the financial statement and income  tax
bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates.

    Cash  and Accounts  Payable: The Company's  banking system  provides for the
daily replenishment  of  its  bank accounts  for  check  clearing  requirements.
Accordingly,  outstanding checks of $11,015,000 and $11,169,000 that had not yet
been paid by the  Company's banks at  May 31, 1994  and 1995, respectively,  are
reflected in cash and accounts payable in the accompanying financial statements.

    Inventories: The Company values its inventories at the lower of average cost
or market.

    Shareholders'  Investment: The Company  has authorized 200,000  shares of no
par value preferred  stock, of which  none was  outstanding at May  31, 1994  or
1995.

    Capitalized Deferred Software Costs: Deferred software costs are included in
other  assets and  represent payments  to vendors  for the  design, purchase and
implementation  of  the  computer  software  for  the  Company's  operating  and
financial   systems.  Such  deferred  costs,  aggregating  to  $10,088,000,  are
amortized over periods not to exceed five  years. At May 31, 1994 and 1995,  the
accumulated   amortization  of  such  costs   were  $2,778,000  and  $5,084,000,
respectively.

    Net Income  Per  Share: Per  share  amounts are  computed  on the  basis  of
weighted  average common and common equivalent shares outstanding (17,278,000 in
1993, 17,357,000  in 1994,  and 17,439,000  in 1995).  Common equivalent  shares
include  the dilutive  effect of outstanding  stock options,  if applicable. All
share and  per share  data  included in  these  financial statements  have  been
restated to reflect the two for one stock split paid on February 28, 1994.

    Reclassifications:  Certain  prior year  amounts  have been  reclassified to
conform with the 1995 presentation.

</TABLE>

Bank credit lines --

    The Company has  revolving credit line  agreements with two  major banks  to
borrow  up  to  $70,000,000  in  the  aggregate.  These  unsecured  credit  line
agreements, with borrowing  limits of  up to $40,000,000  and $30,000,000  each,
mature  on December  31, 1995 and  1996, respectively. The  interest rates under
these credit lines are determined at the time of borrowing based on a choice  of
options as specified in the agreements. The options range from floating rates of
LIBOR,  IBOR, certificate  of deposit, or  banker's acceptance plus  1/2%, up to
prime rate.  At May  31, 1995,  the prime  rate was  9.0%. A  commitment fee  is
payable based on 1/4% per annum on the daily average unused amounts of the lines
of  credit. In addition, both banks require a  facility fee of 1/8% per annum on
the commitment balance. There are no compensating balance requirements.

    The terms  of  these credit  agreements  require the  Company,  among  other
things, to maintain a minimum net worth of $170,000,000 which is adjusted upward
quarterly  by 70 percent of  net income and 70 percent  of net proceeds from any
sales of capital  stock or subordinated  debentures. At May  31, 1995, at  least
$231,033,000 of shareholders' investment was required to meet this covenant. The
credit  agreements also  require the Company  to meet  certain specified working
capital and financial ratios and not to make capital expenditures or incur lease
liabilities in excess of certain specified amounts. The Company is in compliance
with all conditions and covenants of these agreements.

    Subsequent to May 31, 1995, the Company agreed in principle to amend one  of
its  credit line agreements  to extend its  maturity date and  replace the other
agreement with a  new agreement  with a  major bank.  The maturity  date of  the
amended  and new agreements will  be September 30, 1998.  All of the major terms
and conditions of the  amended and new agreements  are similar to the  Company's
current  agreements. The amended  and new agreements will  provide the Company a
total borrowing  capacity of  $55,000,000. This  reduction in  the total  credit
capacity was due to the Company's anticipated lower borrowing requirements.

Term loan --

    In August 1994, the Company obtained an unsecured term loan in the amount of
$25,000,000  with principal repayment due on September 30, 1997. The Company has
the option of repaying  the loan, or  a portion thereof,  prior to the  maturity
date. The interest rate on the loan is based on the 90 day LIBOR rate plus 1/2%.
At May 31, 1995 the interest rate on the loan was 5.75%. The term loan agreement
requires  the Company to maintain  a minimum net worth  ($225,502,000 at May 31,
1995) and to meet  certain specified working capital  and financial ratios.  The
agreement  prohibits  capital expenditures  in excess  of specified  amounts and
issuance of debt, guarantees,  loans or advances  beyond specified amounts.  The
Company  is in  compliance with  all conditions and  covenants of  the term loan
agreement.

                                       18
<PAGE>

Industrial revenue bonds --

    The industrial revenue bonds  are secured by real  property with a net  book
value of $2,985,000 at
May 31, 1995.

Maturities of long-term debt --

    Long-term  debt at  May 31, 1995  based on  the amended terms  is payable in
succeeding  fiscal  years  as  follows:  1996  $410,000;  1997  $205,000;   1998
$25,000,000; 1999 $20,000,000.

    The  Company's bank  credit lines,  term loan  and industrial  revenue bonds
approximate fair value as they bear floating interest rates.

(3) INCOME TAXES

    The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 109 effective in fiscal  year
1993.  The  adoption of  this Standard  did not  have a  material effect  on the
financial statements for fiscal year 1993.

    The provision  (benefit) for  income  taxes consists  of the  following  (in

</TABLE>

    The difference between the quoted market value of the shares at the date  of
grant  and the  option price  for grants  made under  the nonqualified  plans is
charged to  income as  compensation  expense over  the  vesting periods  of  the
related  options.  During fiscal  1993, 1994  and  1995, $215,000,  $103,000 and
$92,000, respectively, were  charged against income  and credited to  additional
paid-in capital under these plans. Options granted are exercisable over a period
of  ten to  twenty years. The  income tax  effect of any  difference between the
market price at  the grant date  and the market  price at the  exercise date  is
credited to additional paid-in capital as the options are exercised.

(6) INVESTMENT IN SONEPAR ELECTRONIQUE INTERNATIONAL

    In  August,  1994, the  Company invested  151  million French  Francs ($27.9
million in U.S. dollars) in  Sonepar Electronique International ("SEI"), one  of
the  three largest electronic component  distributors in Europe. This investment
is in the form of an interest  bearing, convertible note, guaranteed by a  major
French bank as to default. The interest on the note is the same as the Company's
borrowing  rates under its unsecured term loan, as described in Note 2. 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, the Company 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 have a 2  year option to purchase an equivalent amount
in U.S. dollars of the Company's stock of up to 5% of the Company's  outstanding
shares on a fully diluted basis. The option price will be based on market prices
at  the time  of conversion. In  addition, the  Company will have  the option of
increasing its equity  investment to 49%  in SEI. To  finance its investment  in
SEI,  the Company obtained an  unsecured term loan in  the amount of $25,000,000
(Note 2).

(7) BUSINESS SEGMENT

    The  Company  is  engaged  in  the  distribution  of  industrial  electronic
components  and production  supplies through a  nationwide network  of sales and
distribution facilities. In  the opinion of  management, the Company's  products
are identifiable to only one industry segment.

    The  Company's Canadian operations are currently not material to its results
of operations or financial position.

     TO BE INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE INTO FORM S-8 REGISTRATION STATEMENTS
                         NUMBERS 33-1587 AND 33-82510.

                                  UNDERTAKINGS

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

    (1)  To file, during any  period in which offers or  sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

        (i) To  include  any prospectus  required  by Section  10(a)(3)  of  the
    Securities Act of 1933;

        (ii) To reflect in such prospectus any facts or events arising after the
    effective   date  of  the   Registration  Statement  (or   the  most  recent
    post-effective amendment thereof) which,  individually or in the  aggregate,
    represents  a  fundamental  change  in  the  information  set  forth  in the
    Registration Statement;

       (iii) To include  any material information  with respect to  the plan  of
    distribution  not previously disclosed in  the Registration Statement or any
    material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (a)(l)(i) and (a)(l)(ii) do not apply if  the
Registration  Statement is on Form S-3 or  Form S-8 and the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d)
of the Securities  Exchange Act of  1934 that are  incorporated by reference  in
this Registration Statement.

    (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933,  each such post-effective  amendment shall  be deemed to  be a  new
Registration  Statement  relating to  the  securities offered  therein,  and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial  bona
fide offering thereof.

    (3)  To remove from registration by  means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

(b)  The  undersigned  Registrant  hereby  undertakes  that,  for  purposes   of
determining  any liability under the Securities Act  of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report  pursuant to Section  13(a) or Section  15(d) of  the
Securities  Exchange  Act of  1934  (and, where  applicable,  each filing  of an
employee  benefit  plan's  annual  report  pursuant  to  Section  15(d)  of  the
Securities  Exchange  Act of  1934)  that is  incorporated  by reference  in the
Registration Statement  shall  be deemed  to  be a  new  Registration  Statement
relating  to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(f) EMPLOYEE PLANS ON FORM S-8.

    (1) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes  to deliver or cause to  be
delivered with the prospectus to each employee to whom the prospectus is sent or
given  a copy  of the  registrant's annual report  to stockholders  for its last
fiscal year, unless such employee otherwise has received a copy of such  report,
in which case the Registrant shall state in the prospectus that it will promptly
furnish,  without  charge, a  copy  of such  report  on written  request  of the
employee. If the  last fiscal year  of the  Registrant has ended  with 120  days
prior  to the use of the prospectus, the annual report of the Registrant for the
preceding fiscal year may be  so delivered, but within  such 120 day period  the
annual report for the last fiscal year will be furnished to each such employee.

    (2)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to transmit or cause to be
transmitted to all  employees participating  in the  Plan who  do not  otherwise
receive  such material as stockholders of the registrant, at the time and in the
manner such material is sent to  its stockholders, copies of all reports,  proxy
statements and other communications distributed to its stockholders generally.

(i)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to  directors, officers and controlling persons of  the
Registrant  pursuant to the  foregoing provisions, or  otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the  opinion of the Securities and Exchange  Commission
such  indemnification is against  public policy as  expressed in the  Act and is
therefore unenforceable. In the event  that a claim for indemnification  against
such  liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director,  officer or controlling person  of the Registrant in  the
successful  defense  of any  action,  suit or  proceeding)  is asserted  by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities  being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has  been settled  by controlling  precedent, submit  to a  court of appropriate
jurisdiction the  question of  whether  such indemnification  by it  is  against
public  policy  as  expressed in  the  Act and  will  be governed  by  the final
adjudication of such issue.
