                    Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                 Financial Condition and Results of Operations



FINANCIAL CONDITION

On June 1, 1994, the Company acquired certain of the assets of the Zentronics
Division of Westburne Industrial Enterprises Ltd. ("Westburne"), a Canadian
corporation and assumed certain of Westburne's liabilities.  The transaction
was completed by Pioneer Standard Canada Inc., a newly-formed Canadian
subsidiary of the Company by payment of an aggregate of approximately $13.9
million Cdn. (approximately $10.1 million U.S.) to Westburne in the first
six-month period of the current fiscal year.

Current assets increased by $52.0 million and current liabilities increased by
$21.6 million during the six-month period ended September 30, 1994, resulting
in an increase of $30.4 million of working capital.  The current ratio was
2.0:1 at September 30, 1994, compared with 1.9:1 at year-end, March 31, 1994.

During the first six months of the current year, total interest-bearing debt
increased by $31.4 million.  The ratio of interest-bearing debt to
capitalization was 34% at September 30, 1994 compared with 21% at March 31,
1994.

The increase in financing requirements is attributable to the working capital
needs arising from increased sales volume and the investment in the Zentronics
business described above.  The most recent six-month sales are up 22% from the
trailing fiscal six-month sales volume.

Effective October 28, 1994, the Company amended its Credit Agreement with three
banks to increase the credit lines available to the Company.  This amendment
provides for an increase in borrowings from $35.0 million to $45.0 million and
permits an increase in the maximum short-term borrowings outside of the Credit
Agreement to be outstanding at any one time from $15.0 million to $20.0
million.  As of September 30, 1994, Credit Agreement borrowings were $29.0
million and short-term borrowings outside of the Credit Agreement were $8.5
million.  In addition, pursuant to provisions of the Credit Agreement and upon
consent of the parties thereto, the maturity date of the facility was extended
for one additional year, resulting in a $45.0 million revolving credit facility
with a maturity date of January 1, 1998, to be followed by a four-year term
loan amortized in equal quarterly installments.

Management estimates that capital spending plans relating to ongoing
initiatives designed to improve efficiencies through computer enhancement of
operating processes, as well as meeting normal expansion needs of the business
for the current year, will approximate $10.0 million ($4.4 million was expended
in the first six months of the current year).  Under present business
conditions, it is anticipated that funds from current operations and available
debt facilities will be sufficient to finance both capital spending and working
capital needs for the balance of the current fiscal year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994 COMPARED WITH
THE SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1993

Net sales for the six-month period ended September 30, 1994 of $378.3 million
were 39% greater than sales of the prior year six-month period of $271.8
million.  The increase in sales reflects continuing strong demand for
electronic components and computer systems and, in addition, sales of the
newly-acquired Zentronics business accounted for 5% of this increase.  During
the first six months of 1994, semiconductor products accounted for 38% of the
Company's sales compared with 39% in the prior year.  Computer systems products
accounted for 37% of sales in 1994 and 36% in 1993.  Passive and
electromechanical products accounted for 22% of sales in 1994 and 23% in 1993.
Miscellaneous products accounted for 3% of sales in 1994 and 2% in 1993.

The percentage increase in cost of goods sold of 41% resulted in a gross margin
of 19.2% in the first six months of the current year compared with 20.4% a year
ago.  A principal reason for the reduced gross margin in 1994 compared with the
prior period is attributable to the incremental increase in sales volume of
microprocessors earning a relatively low gross profit margin and which are
marketed through an efficient, low-cost sales channel.

Warehouse, selling and administrative expenses of $52.4 million increased by
27% as compared with the $41.4 million incurred during the prior year six-month
period.  This resulted in a ratio of these expenses to sales of 13.9% for the
1994 period compared with 15.2% for the 1993 first six months.

The resulting operating profit of $20.2 million in 1994 was 5.3% of sales
compared with $14.0 million in 1993 which was 5.1% of sales.  Current year
results reflect the increase in sales and effective cost containment.

The Company's share of net income of the affiliated company, Pioneer
Technologies Group, Inc., was $856,000 for the 1994 six-month period compared
with $1,946,000 for the same period last year; net sales of the affiliate for
the current year period of $185.9 million were 18% less than the sales of the
prior year period of $226.0 million.  This reduction is attributable to a lower
volume of microprocessor sales.  Notwithstanding this reduction, a significant
portion of the affiliate's sales during the six-month period was still
attributable to highly concentrated sales of certain microprocessors in large
quantities, the sales volume of which might not be sustainable in future
periods and the effect of which could result in a significant impact on net
income of the affiliate.

The effective tax rate for the current six-month period was 41.9% of income
before the Company's equity in its affiliate's earnings, compared with 42.2% a
year ago; these effective tax rates include .4% and 1.2% for accrued taxes on
the unremitted earnings of the affiliate for 1994 and 1993.

Primarily as a result of the factors noted above, the Company's net income for
the six-month period ending September 30, 1994 of $11.6 million was $2.3
million higher than the $9.3 million earned a year ago.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994 COMPARED WITH
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1993

Net sales for the three-month period ended September 30, 1994 of $194.4 million
increased 42% over sales of the prior year three-month period of $137.3
million.  The increase in sales reflects continuing strong demand for
electronic components and computer and peripheral products, especially for
those products tied to the rapidly growing personal computer industry.  In
addition, sales of the newly-acquired Zentronics business accounted for
approximately 9% of this increase.  Semiconductor products accounted for 38% of
the Company's sales during the second fiscal quarter compared with 40% in the
comparable quarter a year ago.  Computer systems products were 37% during the
quarter compared with 35% a year ago.  Passive and electromechanical products
were 22% during the quarter compared with 23% a year ago.  Miscellaneous
products accounted for 3% of sales in 1994 and 2% in 1993.

The percentage increase in cost of goods sold of 44% resulted in a gross margin
of 19.3% in the second quarter of the current year compared with 20.5% a year
ago.  A principal reason for the reduced gross margin in 1994 compared with the
prior period is attributable to the incremental increase in sales volume of
microprocessors earning a relatively low gross profit margin and which are
marketed through an efficient low cost sales channel.

Warehouse, selling and administrative expenses of $27.1 million increased by
31% over the $20.7 million incurred during the prior year three- month period.
This resulted in a ratio of these expenses to sales of 13.9% for the 1994
period compared with 15.1% for the 1993 quarter.

The Company's share of net income of the affiliated company, Pioneer
Technologies Group, Inc., was $183,000 for the 1994 three-month period compared
with $914,000 for the same period last year; net sales of the affiliate for the
three-month period ended September 30, 1994 of $90.1 million were 31% less than
the sales of the prior year three-month period of $130.6 million.  This
reduction is attributable to a lower volume of microprocessor sales.
Notwithstanding this reduction, a significant portion of the affiliate's sales
during the quarter was primarily still attributable to highly concentrated
sales of certain microprocessors in large quantities, the sales volume of which
might not be sustainable in future periods and the effect of which could result
in a significant impact on net income of the affiliate.

The effective combined tax rate for the current year three-month period was
41.7% of income before the Company's equity in its affiliate's earnings
compared with 42.0% a year ago; these effective tax rates include .2% and 1.0%
for accrued taxes on the unremitted earnings of the affiliate for 1994 and
1993, respectively.

Primarily as a result of the factors above, the Company's net income for the
three-month period ending September 30, 1994 of $5.6 million was $.8 million
greater than the $4.8 million earned a year ago.

its capacity as agent of the banks ("NCB-Agent") for the purposes of the Credit
Agreement referred to below and the related writings.

                                  WITNESSETH:

       WHEREAS, the parties have entered into a Credit Agreement dated January
23, 1992, as amended by a certain Amendment Agreement dated as of June 30, 1993
(the "First Amendment") and a certain Second Amendment Agreement dated as of
May 27, 1994 (the "Second Amendment") (as amended, the "Credit Agreement"; all
terms used in the Credit Agreement being used herein with the same meaning),
which sets forth the terms and conditions upon which Borrower may obtain (a)
"subject loans" on a revolving basis until the "conversion date" (originally

defined in the Credit Agreement, and on an amortizing basis thereafter and (b)
"subject BAs"; and

       WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend certain provisions of the Credit
Agreement to (a) increase the aggregate amount of the subject commitments from
thirty-five million dollars ($35,000,000) to forty-five million dollars
($45,000,000) and (b) extend the term of the subject commitments from January
1, 1997 until January 1, 1998; and

       WHEREAS, in light of the fact that certain previous amendments set forth

amendments and/or will be affected by this Amendment and for ease of reference,
the parties also desire to restate and consolidate in this Amendment all
amendments to the Credit Agreement that are effective on and as of the date
hereof;

       NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises above and the mutual
covenants and agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable

the Credit Agreement referred to below, which principal and interest is payable
in accordance with provisions in the Credit Agreement.

This note is issued pursuant to an Agreement dated January 23, 1992, as amended
from time to time (as amended, the "Credit Agreement") by and among Borrower,
three banks and NCB (as agent of the banks for the purposes of the Credit

novation of the obligations of Borrower under the Old Note but rather is merely
a restatement of the obligations thereunder after giving effect to the most
recent amendment to the Credit Agreement.

for provisions governing the making of subject loans, the acceleration of the
maturity thereof, rights of prepayment, and for other provisions to which this
note is subject.  Any endorsement by the payee on the reverse side of this note
(or any allonge thereto) shall be presumptive evidence of the data so endorsed.
