                           ARROW ELECTRONICS, INC.
                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             SEPTEMBER 30, 1994
                                 (UNAUDITED)


Note A -- Basis of presentation

          The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated
financial position and results of operations at and for the periods
presented.  Such financial statements do not include all the information or
footnotes necessary for a complete presentation and, accordingly, should be
read in conjunction with the company's audited consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 1993 and the notes thereto.  The
results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of results for the full year.

          On August 29, 1994, the company completed the acquisition of
Gates/FA Distributing, Inc. ("Gates") in a transaction which was accounted
for as a pooling-of-interests.  Accordingly, the company's consolidated
financial statements have been restated to include the operations of Gates
for all periods presented.  
    
Note B -- Net income per common share

          Net income per common share for 1994 is based upon the weighted
average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents
outstanding.  For the nine months and quarter ended September 30, 1994, the
average number of common stock equivalents was 522,706 and 476,962,
respectively.  Net income per common share on a fully diluted basis for 1994
assumes that the 5-3/4% convertible subordinated debentures (the
"convertible subordinated debentures") were converted to common stock at the
beginning of the period and the related interest expense, net of taxes, was
eliminated.

          Net income per common share for 1993 is based upon the weighted
average number of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding
after deducting preferred stock dividends related to the series B $19.375
convertible exchangeable preferred stock (the "convertible exchangeable
preferred stock"), which was converted into common stock in September 1993. 
For the nine months and quarter ended September 30, 1993, the average number
of common stock equivalents was 715,082 and 725,334, respectively. Net
income per common share on a fully diluted basis for 1993 assumes that the
convertible exchangeable preferred stock and the convertible subordinated
debentures were converted to common stock at the beginning of the period. 
The dividends related to the convertible exchangeable preferred stock and
the interest expense on the convertible subordinated debentures, net of
taxes, were eliminated.








                                     -6-
Note C -- Acquisition of electronics distribution businesses


          On August 29, 1994, the company completed the acquisition of Gates
through the exchange of approximately 3,700,000 shares of newly-issued
company stock.  Gates' reported financial results have been adjusted to
conform to the financial presentation of the company.  Sales and net income
combined for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 1993 and
1994, respectively, are as follows (in thousands):


                            Nine months ended         Three months ended

       Combined         $2,886,285    $2,095,349     $996,259    $790,941

   Net income:
     Arrow              $   68,153    $   58,830     $ 16,330    $ 21,734
     Gates                   3,845         5,377          177       1,782
       Combined         $   71,998    $   64,207     $ 16,507    $ 23,516


          The combined financial data does not reflect the cost savings
expected to be achieved from the combination of Gates with the company's
business or any sales attrition which may result.  The cost savings will
result principally from reductions in personnel performing duplicative
functions and the elimination of duplicative administrative facilities,
selling and stocking locations, and computer and telecommunications
equipment.

          The combined financial data for 1994 includes a special pretax
charge of $21,875,000 ($.36 and $.37 per share for the nine months and
quarter ended September 30, 1994, respectively) of estimated costs
associated with the integration of Gates and related transaction fees.  Such
estimated integration costs included real estate termination costs and
severance and other expenses related to personnel performing duplicative
functions.

          In January 1994, the company acquired an additional 15% share in
Spoerle Handelsgesellschaft mbH and Co. and its general partner, Spoerle
GmbH (collectively, "Spoerle"), the largest distributor of electronic
components in Germany, increasing its holdings to a 70% interest.  During
the first quarter of 1994, the company acquired an additional 11% share in
Silverstar Ltd. S.p.A. ("Silverstar"), the largest distributor of electronic
components in Italy, increasing its holdings to a 61% majority interest. 
The acquisitions are being accounted for as purchase transactions, and
Silverstar is consolidated with the company, effective January 1, 1994. 
Prior to 1994 the company's investment in Silverstar was accounted for under
the equity method.

          In addition, in January 1994 the company acquired the electronic
component distribution business of Field Oy, the largest distributor of
electronic components in Finland, and in March 1994 the company acquired
TH:s Elektronik AB and its subsidiaries, a group of electronic distribution 
                                     -7-

companies serving Norway, Sweden, and Finland.  In April 1994, the company
acquired Exatec A/S, one of the largest distributors of semiconductors in
Denmark. In May 1994, the company acquired Texny (Holdings) Limited, one of
Hong Kong's leading distributors of electronic components.  The acquisitions
are being accounted for as purchase transactions beginning in their
respective month of acquisition.

          In January 1993, the company acquired an additional 15% share in
Spoerle, increasing its holdings to a then 55% majority interest.  In May
1993, the company acquired the high-reliability electronic component
distribution and value-added service businesses of Zeus Components, Inc.
("Zeus"). In June 1993, the company acquired Microprocessor & Memory 
Distribution Limited ("MMD"), a U.K.-based electronics distributor which
focuses on the distribution of high-technology semiconductor products.  In
August 1993, the company acquired Components Agent Limited ("CAL"), one of
the largest electronics distributors in Hong Kong.  During the third quarter
of 1993 the company acquired a majority interest in Amitron S.A. and the ATD
Group, electronics distributors serving the Spanish and Portuguese markets. 
In November 1993, the company augmented its French operations by acquiring
CCI Electronique.  

          Set forth below for comparative purposes is the pro forma combined
summary of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1993 as though
the acquisitions in 1993 had occurred on January 1, 1993.

    Fully diluted                                        39,184

          The unaudited pro forma combined summary of operations has been
prepared utilizing the historical financial statements of the company and
the acquired businesses.  The unaudited pro forma combined summary of
operations includes the effect of the purchase price allocation adjustments
and the additional interest expense on debt incurred in connection with the
acquisitions as if the debt had been outstanding from the beginning of the
period.  The purchase price allocation adjustments include the adjustment of
the net assets acquired to fair market value and the estimated costs
associated with the integration of the businesses.  Such estimated costs
include professional fees as well as real estate lease termination costs, 
costs associated with the elimination of certain redundant franchised lines,
and severance and other expenses related to personnel performing duplicative
functions, all of which are associated with facilities and personnel of the
acquired businesses.  The unaudited pro forma combined summary of operations
does not purport to be indicative of the results which actually would have
been obtained if the acquisitions had been made at the beginning of 1993.


                                     -8-
           The unaudited pro forma combined summary of operations does not
reflect sales attrition which may result from the combination of Zeus and
MMD with the company's businesses.  It also does not reflect the cost
savings the company achieved from the combination of the Zeus businesses
with its own and it expects to achieve when MMD is combined with the
company's UK businesses.

          In September 1994, the company entered into a definitive agreement
to acquire Anthem Electronics, Inc. ("Anthem"), a leading distributor of
semiconductors and computer products to customers throughout the United
States.  Under the agreement, which provides for the merger of Anthem and a
newly-formed subsidiary of the company, the shareholders of Anthem will
receive .875 of a share of company common stock for each of the
approximately 12,400,000 shares of Anthem common stock outstanding.  The
merger will be accounted for as a pooling-of-interests.  The merger is
subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of the
shareholders of both the company and Anthem.  It is estimated that the
closing will occur around the end of November.



                                     -9-

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations.

          On August 29, 1994, the company completed the acquisition of
Gates, a leading commercial distributor of microcomputers, through the
exchange of approximately 3.7 million shares of the company's stock for all
the stock of Gates.  This merger is accounted for as a pooling-of-interests
and, accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have
been restated to include the operations of Gates for all periods prior to
the merger.
          Included in 1994's consolidated results is Silverstar, which was
accounted for under the equity method prior to January 1994 when the company
increased its holdings to a majority interest.

Sales

          Consolidated sales for the nine months and third quarter of 1994
increased 37.7% and 26% compared with the year-earlier periods. Excluding
Silverstar, sales for the first nine months and third quarter of 1994 were
$2.7 billion and $952 million, respectively, increases of 30.4% and 20.3%
over the comparable year-earlier periods.  This sales growth was principally
due to increased activity levels in each of the company's distribution
groups throughout the world and, to a lesser extent, acquisitions in Europe
and the Pacific Rim.

Operating income

          The company recorded operating income of $169.7 million and
$43.1 million in the first nine months and third quarter of 1994,
respectively, compared with $144.4 million and $52.5 million, respectively,
in the year-earlier periods. Included in 1994's results is a special pretax
charge of $21.9 million associated with the integration of Gates.  Excluding
the special charge, operating income was $191.5 million and $65 million for
the nine months and quarter ended September 30, 1994, respectively.  The
improvement in operating income, excluding the special charge, in the 1994
periods reflects the impact of increased sales, acquisitions, continued
economies of scale and expense containment efforts reducing operating
expenses as a percentage of sales, and the consolidation of Silverstar,
offset in part by lower gross profit margins.  Gross profit margins
decreased from prior periods as a result of a change in product mix and 
competitive pricing pressures.

          Excluding Silverstar, selling, general and administrative expenses
as a percentage of sales decreased from 11.7% and 11.1% in the first nine
months and third quarter of 1993, respectively, to 10.6% and 10.3% in the
first nine months and third quarter of 1994, respectively.

Interest expense

          Interest expense of $29.2 million and $9.3 million in the first
nine months and third quarter of 1994, respectively, increased from $21.7  
million during the first nine months of 1993 and $7.4 million in the
comparable quarter of 1993.  The increase from the first nine months and
third quarter of 1993 reflects the consolidation of Silverstar, the
acquisition of the incremental 15% of Spoerle in 1994, and the incremental
interest associated with businesses acquired subsequent to the third quarter
of 1993. 



                                    -10-
Income taxes

          During the first nine months and third quarter of 1994, the
company recorded a provision for taxes at an effective tax rate of 39.7% and 
38.4%, respectively, compared with 40.3% and 41.5%, respectively, in the
earlier periods.

Net income

          The company recorded net income of $72 and $16.5 million in the
first nine months and third quarter of 1994, respectively, compared with
$64.2 million in the first nine months of 1993 and $23.5 million in the
third quarter of 1993.  Excluding the special charge of $13.1 million, net
of tax, associated with the integration of Gates, net income was $85.1
million ($2.38 per share) and $29.6 million ($.83 per share) for the first
nine months and third quarter of 1994, respectively.  The increase in net
income over the year-earlier periods is due to increased sales and operating
income offset in part by an increase in interest expense as previously
discussed.
    
Liquidity and capital resources

          The company maintains a high level of current assets, primarily
accounts receivable and inventories.  Consolidated current assets as a
percentage of total assets were approximately 77% and 75% at September 30,
1994 and 1993, respectively, excluding the effect of the investments in net
assets of acquired businesses.

         The net amount of cash provided by the company's operating
activities during the first nine months of 1994 was $56.9 million,
principally reflecting higher net earnings.  The net amount of cash used for
investing activities was $84 million, including $80.8 million for various
acquisitions.  The net amount of cash provided by financing activities was
$22.9 million, principally reflecting the company's U.S. credit agreement 
and German bank borrowings, offset in part by the net repayment of debt.

      The net amount of cash provided by the company's operating activities
during the first nine months of 1993 was $42.5 million, principally
reflecting increased earnings offset in part by increased working capital
requirements supporting higher sales.  The net amount of cash used for
investing activities was $102.6 million, including approximately $86.5
million for the acquisition of Zeus, MMD, CAL, Amitron and ATD, and an
additional 15% interest in Spoerle.  The net amount of cash provided by
financing activities was $81 million, principally reflecting the proceeds
from the company's U.S. credit agreement, German bank borrowings, and the
company's May 1993 common stock offering, offset in part by the payment of
financing fees and preferred stock dividends. 
                                      
          In September 1994, the company entered into a definitive agreement
to acquire Anthem, a leading distributor of semiconductors and computer
products to customers throughout the United States.  Under the agreement,
which provides for the merger of Anthem and a newly-formed subsidiary of the
company, the shareholders of Anthem will receive .875 of a share of company
common stock for each of the approximately 12.4 million shares of Anthem 




                                    -11-
common stock outstanding.  The merger will be accounted for as a pooling-of-
interests.  The merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including
the approval of the shareholders of both the company and Anthem.  It is
estimated that the closing will occur around the end of November.
       
         The company believes that its working capital, funds available
under its credit agreements, and additional funds generated from operations
will be sufficient to satisfy its cash requirements at least through 1996.
