            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, 1996.

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, 1997 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, 1997 
and February 29, 1996.

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:  INVESTMENT IN SONEPAR ELECTRONIQUE INTERNATIONAL

As described in Note 6 to the Financial Statements in the Company's Annual 
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 1996, the Company invested 151 
million French Francs (approximately $28.0 million U.S. dollars) in Sonepar 
Electronique International, one of the 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.

NOTE 4:  STOCK BUY-BACK

In May 1996, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the 
purchase of up to one million shares of the Company's common stock.  The 
shares may be purchased from time to time in the open market or otherwise at 
prevailing prices. The Company purchased 700,000 shares during the nine month 
period ended February 28, 1997.

NOTE 5:  ACCORD CONTRACT SERVICES JOINT VENTURE

On August 8, 1996, the Company announced the formation of a joint venture 
with Wyle Electronics ("Wyle"), another distributor of semiconductors and 
computer products.  The venture, known as Accord Contract Services LLC 
("Accord"), is 50% owned by each of the Company and Wyle (the "members").  
Accord provides value added services to each of its members including 
component kitting, turnkey manufacturing solutions, and auto-replenishment 
systems.  The venture is subject to termination under 

                                    - 6 -

various circumstances, including the election of either member.  Upon a 
change in control of one of the members, either member may elect to terminate 
the joint venture, but the member subject to the change in control would then 
be required to pay the other member a fee as compensation for the termination 
of the venture.  The fee, which can range from $25 million to $40 million, is 
based on the value of the venture at the time of termination considering its 
sales volume and other factors.  In connection with the establishment of 
Accord, each member initially agreed to grant certain warrants to the other 
member and entered into other related agreements.  The warrant agreements and 
certain of the related agreements were subsequently rescinded.

NOTE 6: EARNINGS PER SHARE AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE

In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS 128) and 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 129, "Disclosure of 
Information about Capital Structure" (SFAS 129).  SFAS 128 revises and 
simplifies the computation for earnings per share and requires certain 
additional disclosures. SFAS 129 requires additional disclosures regarding 
the Company's capital structure.  Both standards will be adopted in fiscal 
1998.  Management does not expect the adoption of these standards to have a 
material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Three and Nine Month Periods Ended February 28, 1997 and February 29, 1996:

The Company's net sales increased by 6% for the third quarter fiscal 1997 
from the comparable period of a year ago.  The Company's net sales for the 
first nine months of fiscal 1997, compared to fiscal 1996, remained 
relatively unchanged. Net sales for such periods included substantial 
increases in the sales of mass storage, microprocessor, and liquid crystal 
display ("LCD") products.  The sales of these products increased by 
$21,904,000 and $46,860,000 for the third quarter and first nine months of 
fiscal 1997, as compared to last year, respectively.  The addition of new 
suppliers during the last calendar year contributed to most of the increase 
in the sales of such products.  In addition, the Company recorded increases 
in the sales of most major products for the third quarter of fiscal 1997, as 
compared to the comparable period for last year. However, the Company's net 
sales for the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal 1997, as 
compared to fiscal 1996, included a decrease in revenues from the sales of 
semiconductor products, particularly memory products, "DRAMs" and "SRAMs".  
The sales of these products decreased by $18,697,000  and $42,344,000 for the 
third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal 1997, as compared to fiscal 
1996, respectively.  While there was a significant increase in the unit 
volume sold of memory products in fiscal 1997 from fiscal 1996, the 
substantial market decline in unit pricing during the periods reported 
accounted for the significant decrease in sales dollars of such products.

The decrease in net margins as a percent of sales for the third quarter and 
nine months to date of fiscal 1997, as compared to fiscal 1996, was primarily 
due to a shift in the mix of products sold with an increase in the sales of 
mass storage products and microprocessors, which are lower margin products. 
The decline in the margins on some of the Company's products, particularly 
DRAMs, also contributed to the decrease in margins in fiscal 1997, as 
compared to fiscal 1996.

Beginning in late calendar year 1995, the industry experienced a moderation 
in customer demand and a marked increase in the supply of a number of 
electronic component products, particularly memory. These conditions have had 
a material impact on the Company's net sales and margins.  The industry 
continues to experience pressures on pricing and margins.

The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses ("SG&A") for 
the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 1997, as compared to fiscal 
1996, was largely due to higher salary and related expenses. These expenses 
increased approximately $1,050,000 and $4,100,000, for the third quarter and 
first nine months of fiscal 1997, as compared to the same periods of a year 
ago, resulting from salary adjustments and staff additions. The Company's 
staff increased by an average of 25 and 55 salespeople for the third quarter 
and first nine months of fiscal 1997 from fiscal 1996, respectively. This 
increase in salespeople was partially offset by a decrease in administrative 
and warehouse staff.  The increase in salary costs was partly offset by a 
decrease in bad debt expense for the first nine months ended February 28, 
1997, as compared to last year. There were no significant changes in bad debt 
expense for the third quarter of fiscal 1997, as compared to 1996.

The decrease in net interest expense for the third quarter and first nine 
months of fiscal 1997, as compared to last year, was due primarily to the 
increased cash flows, which allowed the Company to reduce its outstanding 
debt. The interest income recorded for the periods reported was from the note 
receivable described in Note 3 and short term investments.

The Company's sources of liquidity at February 28, 1997 consisted principally 
of working capital of $272,287,000 and unsecured bank lines of $70,000,000 of 
which $3,000,000 was used.  The

Company believes that its working capital, borrowing capabilities and 
additional funds generated from operations should be sufficient to finance 
its future operations requirements.

                     MARSHALL WARRANT RESCISSION AGREEMENT


          This MARSHALL WARRANT RESCISSION AGREEMENT (this "AGREEMENT") is made
and entered into as of February 28, 1997, by and between Marshall Industries, a
California corporation ("MARSHALL"), and Wyle Electronics, a California
corporation ("WYLE").

                                   RECITALS

          A.   Marshall and Wyle are parties to that certain Limited Liability
Company Agreement of Accord Contract Services LLC ("ACCORD") dated as of August
8, 1996 establishing Accord as a joint venture between Marshall and Wyle.

          B.   In connection with the establishment of Accord, Marshall and
Wyle entered into the following agreements:  (1) that certain Warrant Agreement
(Marshall) dated as of August 8, 1996 (the "MARSHALL WARRANT AGREEMENT"),
pursuant to which Marshall agreed to grant to Wyle certain warrants (the
"MARSHALL WARRANTS") to purchase shares of Marshall's common stock, $1.00 par
value (the "MARSHALL COMMON STOCK"), upon the occurrence of certain events, and
(2) that certain Registration Rights Agreement (Marshall) dated as of August 8,
1996 (the "MARSHALL REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT," and, together with the
Marshall Warrant Agreement, the "MARSHALL AGREEMENTS"), pursuant to which
Marshall agreed to grant certain registration rights to Wyle in connection with
the issuance of the Marshall Warrants.

          C.   The effectiveness of the Marshall Agreements and the delivery of
a warrant certificate to Wyle in connection with the Marshall Warrant Agreement
(the "MARSHALL CERTIFICATE"), were conditioned upon the parties reaching
agreement on an overall exit strategy that incorporated such agreements (and
the Marshall Certificate) in connection with the termination of Accord.

          D.   The parties have reached an agreement on such exit strategy
which does not incorporate the Marshall Agreements, and which does not require
the issuance or delivery of the Marshall Certificate.

          E.   Therefore, Marshall and Wyle desire to rescind the Marshall
Agreements.

                                   AGREEMENT

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises
contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and

of the Marshall Agreements is hereby rescinded and shall be of no further force
and effect.  The parties

<PAGE>

hereto further acknowledge and agree that they each shall have no 
further rights, duties or obligations under any of the Marshall Agreements.

          2.   CANCELLATION OF WARRANT CERTIFICATE.  The parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that the Marshall Certificate shall be canceled and
become null and void simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement.  All
benefits owed to any party and all duties imposed upon any party under the
Marshall Certificate shall be canceled.  The parties believe that the Marshall
Certificate has not been delivered, however, if such Marshall Certificate has
been delivered, then within ten (10) days of the effective date of this
Agreement, Wyle shall return the original Marshall Certificate to Marshall with
the word "CANCELED" printed on each page and initialed by the person(s)
executing this Agreement on behalf of Wyle.

          3.   SUCCESSORS.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

          4.   COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts,

constitute one and the same instrument.

          5.   GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement shall be governed by  and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without
regard to otherwise governing principles of conflict of laws.

          6.   EXPENSES.  Any and all expenses incurred by any party due to the
execution of this Agreement shall be the sole responsibility of that party.

          7.   ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Agreement contains the entire agreement

          securities exchange, reported through the National Association of 
          Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System or traded 
          over-the-counter, then the Acquisition Value shall be determined by 
          agreement of the Members or, if the Members are unable to so agree, 
          then by a Neutral Party selected in accordance with Section 12.17(c)
          of this Agreement.

     c.   AGGREGATE BASELINE SALES:  Means the aggregate net sales by both

          Event" shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events with

                     (2)  The consummation by any person (other than a Member) 
          of a tender offer or exchange offer to purchase any shares of a

          offer, such person owns or controls 20% or more of the then
          outstanding common stock of such Member;

                     (3)  The execution by a Member or any subsidiary thereof 
          of an agreement with any person (other than the other Member) to
          (i) merge, consolidate or otherwise reorganize with or into one or
          more entities that are not subsidiaries of such Member, as a result
          of which less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the
          surviving or resulting entity immediately after the consummation of
          such transaction are, or will be, owned by shareholders of such
          Member immediately before such reorganization (assuming for purposes
          of such determination that there is no change in the record ownership
          of the Member's securities from the record date for such approval
          until such transaction is consummated and that such record holders
          hold no securities of the other party or parties to such a
          transaction), (ii) sell, lease or otherwise dispose of assets of such
          Member or its subsidiaries representing 50% or more of the
          consolidated assets of the Member and its subsidiaries or (iii)
          issue, sell or otherwise dispose of (including by way of merger,
          consolidation, share exchange or any similar transaction) securities
          representing 50% or more of the voting power of such Member;

                     (4)  The acquisition by any person (other than a
          Member) of beneficial ownership (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-
          3 under the Securities 

                                      2
<PAGE>

          to acquire beneficial ownership of, or any "group" (as such term is 
          defined under the Exchange Act) shall have been formed which 
          beneficially owns or has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of,
          20% or more of the then outstanding common stock of a Member; or

                     (5)  The failure at any time, during any period of two
          consecutive years, of individuals who at the beginning of such period
          constituted the Board of Directors of a Member, for any reason, to
          constitute at least a majority thereof, unless the election, or the
          nomination for election by such Member's shareholders, of each new
          Board member was approved by a vote of at least three-fourths of the
          Board members then still in office who were Board members at the
          beginning of such period (including for these purposes, new members
          whose election or nomination was so approved).

     e.   GROWTH MULTIPLE:  Means, upon the occurrence of an Exercise Event, 
          the growth, stated as a percentage, of the aggregate sales generated
          by the United States electronic components distribution industry from

          by agreement of the Members or, if the Members are unable to so
          agree, then by a Neutral Party selected in accordance with Section
          12.17(c).

     f.   INCREMENTAL SALES:  Means, upon the occurrence of an Exercise Event, 
          the difference between (i) the aggregate net sales by both Members 
          from the provision of Value Added Services for the twelve full
