Notes to Combined Financial Statements
(amounts in thousands)

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of operations

Wyle Electronics Group ("Wyle" or the "Company") is a wholly owned subsidiary of
VEBA Electronics, LLC which is a wholly owned subsidiary of VEBA Corporation, a
US corporation, which is indirectly owned by E.ON AG, a German company. Wyle is
an operating company within the VEBA Electronics Group.  VEBA Electronics Group
is a combination of companies indirectly owned by E.ON AG, which is in the
business of electronics distribution, marketing semiconductors and computer
products, as well as providing value-added services.  These services include
complex materials management systems and engineering design for application-
specific integrated circuits, including field programmable logic devices.

On August 7, 2000, a consortium consisting of three entities entered into a
share purchase agreement to purchase the VEBA Electronics Group from E.ON AG.
On October 17th, 2000 the acquisition was finalized, with Arrow Electronics,
Inc. acquiring the Wyle Electronics Group.  The affect of this transaction
is not reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

Basis of presentation

The combined financial statements include companies that comprise the Wyle
Electronics Group. Ownership of the group companies is not consolidated within
a single entity owned by Wyle Electronics. These combined financial statements
include, among other things, allocations of certain VEBA Electronics Group
corporate assets, liabilities (including profit sharing and pension benefits)
and expenses (including legal, accounting, employee benefits, insurance
services, information technology services, treasury and other corporate
overhead) to Wyle.  These amounts have been allocated to Wyle on the basis that
is considered by management to reflect most fairly or reasonably the utilization
of the services provided to or the benefit obtained by Wyle.  Typical measures
and activity indicators used for allocation purposes include headcount, sales
revenue and payroll expense. The Company's management believes that the methods
used to allocate these amounts are reasonable. However, these allocations are
not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would have been or that will be
recorded by the Company on a stand-alone basis. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions between combined companies have been eliminated.  The
accounts of the following companies were included in the combined financial
statements: Wyle Electronics, Wyle Distribution Group Santa Clara, Inc., Wyle
Ginsbury Electronics, Inc., Wyle Electronics Ltd. (Barbados), Wyle Electronics
Canada Corp., Wyle Electronics Caribbean Corp., Redwing of California, Inc.,
Wyle Electronics de Mexico s de (Mexico), Wyle Systems LLC, Atlas Business
Services LLC, Atlas Services LLC, and EBV Electronic Holdings, Inc.

The accompanying combined 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 combined 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 combined financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 1999 and the notes thereto filed on Arrow Electronics, Inc. Form
8-K dated September 1, 2000.  The results of operations for the interim period
are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."  This statement
is required to be adopted effective January 1, 2001.  The Statement will require
the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.
Gains and losses resulting from changes in the value of the derivatives would be
accounted for depending on the intended use of the derivative and whether it
qualifies for hedge accounting.  The Company does not utilize derivative
financial instruments.  Due to the company's limited use of derivative financial
instruments, adoption of Statement No. 133 is not expected to have an effect on
the company's combined results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Included herein is the unaudited pro forma balance sheet of Arrow Electronics,
Inc. and the Wyle Electronics Group as of September 30, 2000 and the unaudited
pro forma statements of income for the year ended December 31, 1999 and the nine
months ended September 30, 2000.

The unaudited pro forma financial statements are based on the historical
consolidated financial statements of Arrow Electronics, Inc. ("Arrow") and the
combined financial statements of the Wyle Electronics Group ("Wyle"), adjusted
to give effect to the acquisition by Arrow of Wyle.  The unaudited pro forma
statement of income for the year ended December 31, 1999 and the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 give effect to the acquisition of Wyle as if it had
occurred on January 1, 1999.  The unaudited pro forma balance sheet gives effect
to the acquisition of Wyle as if it had occurred as of September 30, 2000.

The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain
assumptions which we believe are reasonable.  In our opinion, all adjustments
that are necessary to present fairly the pro forma data have been made.  The
unaudited pro forma financial statements do not purport to present what our
results of operations or financial condition would actually have been had the
acquisition in fact occurred on such dates or to project our results of
operations or financial condition for any future period or date.
