                           ARROW ELECTRONICS, INC.
                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               MARCH 31, 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.
  
    
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 three months ended March 31, 1994 the average number
of common stock equivalents was 500,204.  Net income per common share on a
fully diluted basis for 1994 assumes that the 5-3/4% 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 three months ended March 31, 1993 the average number of common stock
equivalents was 659,354.  Net income per common share on a fully diluted
basis for 1993 assumes that the convertible exchangeable preferred stock and
the 5-3/4% 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
5-3/4% convertible subordinated debentures, net of taxes, were eliminated.


Note C -- Acquisition of electronics distribution businesses

          In January 1994, the company acquired an additional 15% share, for
approximately $23,400,000, 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% majority 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 


                                     -6-

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
companies serving Norway, Sweden, and Finland.  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, for
approximately $25,145,000, 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 three months ended March 31, 1993 as though
the acquisitions in 1993 had occurred on January 1, 1993.

          The unaudited pro forma combined summary of operations has been
prepared utilizing the historical financial statements of Arrow 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,


                                     -7-

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.

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

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

          Included in 1994's consolidated results is Silverstar, which was
accounted for under the equity method prior to January 1994 when Arrow
increased its holdings to a majority interest.

Sales

          Consolidated sales of $820.8 million in the first quarter of 1994
were 48.9% and 16.9% ahead of last year's first quarter and the immediately
preceding quarter, respectively.  Excluding Silverstar, sales for the first
quarter were $770 million, an increase of 39.7% and 9.6% over the first
quarter of 1993 and the immediately preceding quarter, respectively. 
Worldwide sales, excluding the impact of acquisitions, advanced 22% over the
first quarter of 1993, reflecting increased activity levels in each of the
company's distribution groups.  

Operating income

          The company recorded operating income of $58.4 million in the
first quarter of 1994, compared to $42.6 million in the first quarter of
1993 and $47.7 million in the immediately preceding quarter.  The
improvement in operating income over the first quarter of 1993 reflects the
impact of increased sales, continued economies of scale and expense
containment efforts reducing operating expenses as a percentage of sales, 
and the consolidation of Silverstar.  Excluding Silverstar, operating income
was $53.5 million and operating expenses as a percentage of sales decreased
from 14.1% in the first quarter of 1993 to 12.3%.  

          The increase in operating income over the immediately preceding
quarter reflects the consolidation of Silverstar and increased sales. 
Operating expenses as a percentage of sales, excluding Silverstar, decreased
from 12.5% in the fourth quarter of 1993 to 12.3% in the first quarter of
1994. 

Interest expense

          Interest expense of $9 million in the first quarter of 1994
increased from $6.9 million in the comparable quarter of 1993 and $4.9
million in the immediately preceding quarter.  The increase from the first
quarter of 1993 reflects the borrowings associated with the acquisition of
the incremental 15% of Spoerle in 1994, the consolidation of Silverstar, and
the incremental interest associated with businesses acquired subsequent to
the first quarter of 1993. 
 
                                     -8-

          The increase in interest expense compared with the immediately
preceding quarter was due to the consolidation of Silverstar and the
borrowings associated with the acquisition of the incremental 15% interest
in Spoerle in January 1994.

Income taxes

          In the first quarter of 1994, the company recorded a provision for
taxes at an effective tax rate of 40.3%, compared with 39% in the year-
earlier period and 41.8% in the immediately preceding quarter.  

Net income

          The company recorded net income of $25.3 million in the first
quarter of 1994, compared with $18 million in the first quarter of 1993 and
$22.7 million in the fourth quarter of 1993.  The increase in net income
over the year-earlier period and the immediately preceding period is due to
increased sales and lower operating expenses as a percentage of sales 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 75% for both the first quarter
of 1994 and 1993, excluding the effect of the investments in net assets of
acquired businesses in 1994.

          The net amount of cash provided by the company's operating
activities during the first quarter of 1994 was $36.9 million, principally
reflecting higher net earnings.  The net amount of cash used for investing
activities was $46.1 million, including $51.9 million for various
acquisitions.

              The net amount of cash provided by the company's operating
activities during the first quarter of 1993 was $8.5 million, principally
reflecting increased earnings.  The net amount of cash used for investing
activities was $25.9 million, including approximately $25.1 million for the
acquisition of an additional 15% interest in Spoerle.  The company financed
the acquisition through borrowings under the company's U.S. credit agreement
and bank borrowings in Germany.  
                                      
         The company believes that its working capital, funds available
under its credit agreement, and additional funds generated from operations
will be sufficient to satisfy its cash requirements at least through 1996.
