                				NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        							    JUNE 30, 1996



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, 1995 and the notes thereto.  The results of operations for 
the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full 
year.

Note B -- Authorized shares and net income per common share
- -----------------------------------------------------------
In May 1996, the shareholders approved an amendment to increase the number of 
authorized shares from 80,000,000 to 120,000,000 shares of common stock.

Net income per common share is based upon the weighted average number of
shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding.  For the six
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, the average number of common stock
equivalents was 634,767 and 660,324, respectively.  For the quarter ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995, the average number of common stock equivalents was
723,752 and 748,823, respectively.  In October 1995, the company's 5-3/4%
convertible subordinated debentures (the debentures) were converted into common
stock.  Net income per common share for 1995, on a fully diluted basis, assumes
that the debentures we converted to common stock  at the beginning of the
period and the related interest expense, net of taxes, was eliminated.

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

Sales
- -----
Consolidated sales for the six months and second quarter of 1996 increased 
14 percent and 10 percent, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods.
This sales growth was principally due to increased activity levels in each of 
the company's distribution groups throughout the world.

ARROW ELECTRONICS, INC.         June 30, 1996    FORM 10Q          Page 9
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Operating income
- ----------------
The company recorded operating income of $221.6 million and $104.9 million 
in the first six months and second quarter of 1996, respectively, compared 
with $206.6 million and $108.7 million, respectively, in the year-earlier 
periods.  The improvement in operating income in the first half of 1996, 
compared with the year-earlier period, reflects the impact of increased sales 
and the benefits of continuing economies of scale offset, in part, by a 
decline in gross profit margins.  The reduction in operating income in the 
second quarter of 1996, compared with the year-earlier period, is primarily 
due to the decrease in gross profits in Europe due to competitive pricing 
pressures, offset, in part, by continued operating efficiencies.


Interest expense
- ----------------
Interest expense of $21.2 million and $9.8 million in the first six months and 
second quarter of 1996, respectively, decreased from $22.2 million during the 
first six months of 1995 and $11.1 million in the comparable quarter of 1995. 
The decrease from the first six months and second quarter of 1995 reflects 
the conversion of the debentures in October 1995, and lower borrowings
resulting from improved working capital usage offset, in part, by an increase
in interest rates.


Income taxes
- ------------
During the first six months and second quarter of 1996, the company recorded a 
provision for taxes at an effective tax rate of 39.5 percent and 39.3 percent, 
respectively, compared with 41 percent in the year-earlier periods. The 
decrease in the provision is due to increased earnings in countries with lower 
marginal tax rates.


Net income
- ----------
The company recorded net income of $110.9 million and $54.1 million in the 
first six months and second quarter of 1996, respectively, compared with $96.6 
million in the first six months of 1995 and $51.8 million in the second 
quarter of 1995.  The increase in net income for the first six months is due 
to increased operating income as well as a decrease in interest expense, the
provision for the income taxes, and minority interests.  The increase in net
income for second quarter is attributable to lower operating income offset by
decreases in interest expense, the provision for income taxes, and minority
interest.


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 78.1 percent and 75.6 percent at June 30, 1996 
and 1995, respectively.

ARROW ELECTRONICS, INC.         June 30, 1996    FORM 10Q        Page 10
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The net amount of cash provided by the company's operating activities during 
the first six months of 1996 was $55.4 million, principally reflecting 
increased earnings offset, in part, by an increase in working capital 
requirements.  The net amount of cash used for investing activities was $29.7 
million, including $17.3 million for various capital expenditures.  The net 
amount of cash used for financing activities was $53.5 million, principally 
reflecting the reduction in the company's borrowings.

The net amount of cash used for the company's operating activities during the 
first six months of 1995 was $51.9 million, principally reflecting increased 
working capital requirements supporting higher sales.  The net amount of cash 
used for investing activities was $112 million, including $85.9 million for 
various investments and acquisitions.  The net amount of cash provided by 
financing activities was $124.9 million, principally reflecting the company's 
borrowings to finance investments, acquisitions, distributions to partners, 
and the net repayment of 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.

The company announced that its Board of Directors has authorized management to 
implement a stock repurchase program under which Arrow may purchase, from time 
to time, at least $100 million of the company's common stock.  The purchases 
will be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, as 
determined by management.  The timing and amount of the purchases will depend, 
among other matters, on market conditions and corporate requirements.
