NOTES - Pioneer-Standard Electronics, Inc.

1.   PER SHARE DATA

Net income per common share is computed using the weighted average common
shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the quarters and
nine-month periods ended December 31, 1995 and 1994.  Common share equivalents
consist of shares issuable upon exercise of stock options computed by using the
treasury stock method.

2.   STOCK SPLIT

On July 25, 1995, the Board of Directors declared a three-for-two stock split
effected in the form of a 50% share dividend of the Company's common shares
payable September 6, 1995 to shareholders of record August 16, 1995.  The share
and per share data have been restated for the periods presented to reflect the
stock split.

3    ACQUISITION

On November 30, 1995, the Company acquired the remaining 50% of the common
stock of Pioneer/Technologies Group, Inc. ("Technologies") for $50 million in
cash.  Intangible assets of $41.5 million arising from the transaction are
being amortized over 40 years.  The consolidated statements include the
operating results of Technologies from the date of acquisition.  Prior to the
acquisition, the Company accounted for its investment in Technologies under the
equity method of accounting.

4    MANAGEMENT OPINION

The information furnished herein reflects all normal and recurring adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement
of the results of operations for the quarters and nine  months ended December
31, 1995 and 1994.  The results of operations for the three and nine month
periods are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for a
full year.

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



FINANCIAL CONDITION

On November 30, 1995, the Company acquired the remaining 50% of the common
stock of Pioneer/Technologies Group, Inc. ("Technologies") for $50 million cash
and assumed certain liabilities including $30 million of bank debt of
Technologies.  The cash payment for the purchase price, secured by a letter of
credit under terms of the Company's credit agreement, was made on January 4,
1996.

Current assets increased by $134.4 million and current liabilities increased by
$30.8 million during the nine-month period ended December 31, 1995, resulting
in an increase of $103.6 million of working capital.  The acquisition of
Technologies accounted for $57.9 million of the increase in working capital.
The balance of the increase in working capital is attributable to the increased
level of business activity.  The current ratio was 2.4:1 at December 31, 1995,
compared with 1.9:1 at year-end, March 31, 1995.

During the first nine months of the current year, total interest-bearing debt
increased by $118.5 million.  Interest bearing debt arising from the purchase
of Technologies and related assumption of debt amounted to $80 million.  The
balance of the increase in debt is attributable to funding the working capital
and capital expenditure needs arising from an increased level of business
activity.  As indicated in the following narrative, nine month sales without
the one month (December) contribution from the Technologies' acquisition were
18% over the comparable period a year ago.  The ratio of interest-bearing debt
to capitalization was 56% at December 31, 1995 compared with 32% at March 31,
1995.

On November 29, 1995, the Company and Pioneer-Standard of Maryland, Inc.
(formerly Pioneer/Technologies Group, Inc.) entered into a new credit agreement
with five banks providing up to an aggregate of $200 million of unsecured
borrowings on a revolving credit basis for two years.  Interest rates on
borrowings are based on various floating rate alternative pricing mechanisms.
There is a commitment fee on the unborrowed amount and there is no prepayment
penalty.  Terms of the agreement provide, among other things, limitations on
other borrowings and capital expenditures, minimum working capital and equity
requirements and the maintenance of certain ratios.  Terms of the agreement
also provide for borrowings up to an aggregate of $40 million under unsecured
lines which are in addition to the $200 million capacity under the new
agreement.  This new facility replaced the credit agreement for $100 million
dated January 23, 1992, as amended.  Borrowings outstanding under these
facilities totaled $170 million as of December 31, 1995 and includes the $50
million letter of credit commitment for the purchase price of the affiliate
acquisition as well as $30 million arising from refinancing the bank debt
assumed in the purchase transaction.  It is anticipated that some portion of
the borrowings will be refinanced with a combination of equity and fixed rate
debt, given favorable market conditions, however, there can be no assurances
that any part of the borrowings will be refinanced.





                                       6

Management estimates that capital expenditures for the current year will
approximate $22 million ($15.3 million was expended in the first nine 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

THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED WITH
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994

Net sales for the three-month period ended December 31, 1995 of $263.9 million
increased 24% over sales of the prior year three-month period of $212.4
million.  The third quarter sales without the one month contribution from the
Technologies acquisition of $238.8 million, were 13% over the comparable period
a year ago.  The increase in sales reflects continuing strong demand for
electronic components and computer and peripheral products although the rate of
growth has slowed from a year ago.  Semiconductor products accounted for 36% of
the Company's sales in the current quarter, compared with 38% a year ago.
Computer systems products were 42% of sales in 1995 versus 39% last year.
Passive and electromechanical products were 19% of the Company's business in
1995 compared with 21% a year earlier.  Miscellaneous products accounted for 3%
and 2% of sales in 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Cost of goods sold increased 25% compared with the prior year quarter,
resulting in a gross margin of 18.0% in the current quarter compared with 18.2%
a year ago.

Warehouse, selling and administrative expenses of $36.5 million increased by
35% over the $27.1 million incurred during the prior year three-month period.
This resulted in a ratio of these expenses to sales of 13.8% for the current
quarter compared with 12.8% a year ago.  The increased rate of expenses
incurred in the current period is in part a reflection of the Company's
investment in various programs to foster growth and improve customer service
and satisfaction..

The operating profit resulting from the activity described above was $11.1
million, or 4.2% of sales in the current period compared with $11.5 million, or
5.4% of sales a year ago.  In addition to spending for growth programs
described above, the current year margin was also reduced by effects of
consolidating the one month operations of the acquisition.

Interest expense was $2.1 million in the current quarter compared with $1.0
million a year ago.  The increase is due to financing working capital
attributable to the increased level of business activity as was discussed in
the Financial Condition section of this report.

The consolidated statements of income include the operating results of
Technologies from the date of acquisition.  The Company's equity in earnings
(loss) of Technologies for the three month period ended December 31, 1995 was a
net loss of $1,082,000 compared with $9,000 net profit for the same period a
year ago.  Included in the current period net loss were discontinuance costs
associated with the acquisition of $1,225,000 after-tax or $.05 per common
share.





                                       7
<PAGE>   8
The change in the effective tax rate for the current year three-month period of
48.5% compared with 41.4% a year ago is substantially attributable to effects
of the net loss in the equity in earnings of the affiliate.

Primarily as a result of the factors above, the Company's net income for the
three-month period ending December 31, 1995 of $4.1 million was $2.0 million
less than the $6.1 million earned a year ago.

NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED WITH
THE NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994

Net sales for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1995 of $723.6 million
were 23% greater than sales of the prior year nine-month period of $590.7
million.  The nine month sales without the one month contribution from the
acquisition of $698.6 million were 18% over the comparable period a year ago.
The increase in sales reflects continuing strong demand for electronic
components and computer systems although the rate of growth has slowed from a
year ago.  During the first nine months of 1995, semiconductor products
accounted for 35% of the Company's sales compared with 38% in the prior year.
Computer systems products accounted for 40% of the Company's sales in 1995 and
38% in 1994.  Passive and electromechanical products accounted for 22% of sales
in both 1995 and in 1994.  Miscellaneous products accounted for 3% and 2% of
sales in 1995 and 1994, respectively.

The percentage increase in cost of goods sold of 22% resulted in a gross margin
of 18.9% in the first nine months of the current year compared with 18.8% a
year ago.  Warehouse, selling and administrative expenses of $100.3 million
increased by 26% as compared with the $79.5 million incurred during the prior
year nine-month period.  This resulted in a ratio of these expenses to sales of
13.9% for the current nine-month period compared with 13.5% a year ago.  The
increased rate of expenses incurred in the current period is in part a
reflection of the Company's investment in various programs to foster growth and
improve customer service and satisfaction.

The resulting operating profit of $36.2 million in 1995 was 5.0% of sales
compared with $31.7 million in 1994, which was 5.4% of sales.

Interest expense was $5.0 million in the nine months compared with $2.7 million
a year ago.  The increase is due to financing working capital attributable to
the increased level of business activity as was discussed in the Financial
Condition section of this report.

The consolidated statements of income includes the operating results of
Technologies from the date of acquisition.  The Company's equity in earnings
(loss) of Technologies for the nine month period ended December 31, 1995 was a
net loss of $173,000 compared with $865,000 net income for the same period a
year ago.  Current nine month results include a charge for discontinuance costs
associated with the acquisition of $1,225,000 after-tax or $.05 per common
share.

The change in the effective tax rate for the current nine-month period of 42.9%
compared with 40.5% a year ago is substantially attributable to effects of the
net loss of equity in earnings of the affiliate.





                                       8
<PAGE>   9
Primarily as a result of the factors noted above, the Company's net income for
the nine-month period ending December 31, 1995 of $17.6 million was $.1 million
lower than the $17.7 million earned a year ago.
