                                     ARROW ELECTRONICS, INC.
                          NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                       SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
                                          (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, 1994 and the notes thereto.  The results of 
operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results 
for the full year.

          In November 1994, the company completed the acquisition of Anthem 
Electronics, Inc. ("Anthem") in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of 
interests.  Accordingly, the 1994 consolidated statements of income and cash 
flows have been restated to include the operations of Anthem.
 
      
Note B -- Net income per common share

          Net income per common share on a primary basis is based upon the 
weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents 
outstanding.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, the 
average number of common stock equivalents was 754,083 and 608,456, 
respectively.  For the quarter ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, the average 
number of common stock equivalents was 1,006,711 and 541,712 respectively.

          Net income per common share on a fully diluted basis assumes that 
the 5-3/4% convertible subordinated debentures (the "debentures") were 
converted to common stock at the beginning of the period and the related 
interest expense, net of taxes, was eliminated.

Note C -- Credit agreement

          In August 1995, the company's credit agreement with a group of banks 
was amended to increase the amount of borrowings available to $500,000,000 
from $175,000,000, to reduce the borrowing rate, and to extend the maturity 
date to August 2000.  The amended facility allows for up to $250,000,000 of 
the borrowings to be denominated in foreign currencies. 


Note D - Subsequent event

          On October 5, 1995, the company called for redemption its 5-3/4% 
debentures due 2002.  The conversion resulted in the issuance of 3,772,254 
shares of common stock on October 25, 1995.

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

       
Sales

          Consolidated sales for the nine months and third quarter of 1995 
increased 28.4% and 25.7% compared with 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 $314.7 million and $108.1 
million in the first nine months and third quarter of 1995, respectively, 
compared with $195.9 million and $51.6 million, respectively, in the year-
earlier periods.  Excluding the special charge of $21.9 million associated 
with the integration of Gates, operating income was $217.8 million and $73.5 
million for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 1994, 
respectively.  The improvement in operating income reflects the impact of 
increased sales, acquisitions, and the benefits of economies of scale 
resulting from the integration of Anthem and Gates with Arrow.

Interest expense

          Interest expense of $34.6 million and $12.5 million in the first 
nine months and third quarter of 1995, respectively, increased from $27.7 
million during the first nine months of 1994 and $8.7 million in the 
comparable quarter of 1994.  The increase from the first nine months and third 
quarter of 1994 reflects increased company borrowings to finance working 
capital requirements necessary to support higher sales.

Income taxes

          During the first nine months and third quarter of 1995 the company 
recorded a provision for taxes at an effective tax rate of 40.7% and 40.0% 
compared with 40.1% and 39.2%, respectively, in the year-earlier periods.  The 
increase in the provision from the comparable year-earlier periods is due to 
increased earnings in countries with higher marginal tax rates.

Net income

          The company recorded net income of $147.6 million and $51.0 million 
in the first nine months and third quarter of 1995, respectively, compared 
with $88.1 million in the first nine months of 1994 and $21.8 million in the 
third quarter of 1994.  Excluding the special charge of $21.9 million ($13.1 
million after taxes) associated with the integration of Gates, net income was 
$101.2 million ($2.17 per share on a primary basis) and $34.9 million ($.75 
per share on a primary basis) for the nine months and three months ended 
September 30, 1994, respectively.  The increase in net income over the year-
earlier periods 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.    



                                         -7-



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 79% at September 30, 
1995 and 1994, respectively, excluding in 1994, the effect of the investments 
in net assets of acquired businesses.
 
         The net amount of cash used for the company's operating activities 
during the first nine months of 1995 was $115.4 million, principally 
reflecting increased working capital requirements supporting higher sales.  
The net amount of cash used for investing activities was $130.3 million, 
including $95.7 million for various acquisitions.  The net amount of cash 
provided by financing activities was $210.1 million, principally reflecting 
the company's U.S. credit agreements and European bank borrowings, offset in 
part by distributions to partners and the net repayment of debt.

          The net amount of cash provided by the company's operating 
activities during the first nine months of 1994 was $81.9 million, principally 
reflecting earnings.  The net amount of cash used for investing activities was 
$84.3 million, including approximately $80.8 million for various acquisitions. 
The net amount of cash provided by financing activities was $23.8 million, 
principally reflecting the company's U.S. credit agreements and European bank 
borrowings, offset in part by the net payment of debt. 

         In October 1995, the company called for redemption its 5-3/4% 
convertible subordinated debentures, due 2002, which resulted in the issuance 
of 3,772,254 shares of common stock and eliminated approximately $125,000,000 
in long term debt.
	
         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 1997.
