         BELL INDUSTRIES ANNOUNCES TENDER OFFER MILGRAY SUCCESSFUL

                                                         FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

        Los Angeles, California -- January 8, 1997 -- Bell Industries, Inc.
(NYSE:PSE:BI) today announced that it has acquired, through a $14.77 cash tender
offer, approximately 95% of the outstanding shares of Milgray Electronics, Inc.
The tender offer expired on January 7, 1997.

        Bell had announced on November 27, 1996 its plan to acquire Milgray in a
two-step transaction. By acquiring more than 66 2/3% of the outstanding Milgray
shares, Bell met one of the key conditions of the acquisition agreement. All
remaining shares will be acquired at the same price -- $14.77 through a cash
merger expected to be consummated on January 15, 1997. No vote of Milgray
shareholders will be required.

        Theodore Williams, Bell's Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are
delighted with the success of the Tender Offer and look forward to the
integration of Milgray's business with Bell's and the synergies that the
combination should provide."

        Bell Industries distributes products for the electronics, computer,
graphics and other industrial markets. Milgray distributes electronic components
and computer products for the industrial markets.
