2.    ACCOUNTING CHANGES

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement No. 131,
"Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" (FAS 131).
FAS 131 requires reporting certain information about operating segments. This
statement, which must be adopted by the Company no later than fiscal year end
1999, is currently being analyzed by management for the potential effects of the
adoption of this statement.

Effective April 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" which requires disclosure of
comprehensive income defined as the aggregate change in shareholders' equity
excluding changes in ownership interests. The components of comprehensive income
are as follows:

3.    NET INCOME PER SHARE DATA

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to
common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during each period. Diluted computations include dilutive common share
equivalents of outstanding stock options and assumed conversion of 
company-obligated mandatorily redeemable convertible trust preferred securities
and the elimination of related distributions, net of income taxes.

The computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the quarters
ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997 is shown below:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED WITH
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997

Net sales for the three-month period ended June 30, 1998 of $544.3 million
increased 37% over the prior year three-month period of $396.3 million. All
three product categories contributed to the increase in sales with comparable
quarter sales up 14% over last year, net of the effects of the March 31, 1998
acquisition of Dickens Data Systems, Inc. Semiconductor products accounted for
30% of the Company's sales in the current quarter, compared with 34% a year ago.
Computer systems products represented 54% of sales in 1998 versus 46% last year.
Interconnect, passive and electromechanical products were 15% of the Company's
sales in 1998 versus 18% in 1997. Miscellaneous products accounted for 1% and 2%
of sales in 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Cost of goods sold increased 40% compared to the prior year quarter, resulting
in a gross margin of 15.9% in the current quarter compared with 17.3% a year
ago. The industry excess semiconductor supply versus demand conditions adversely
impacting average selling prices and the increased percentage of sales of
computer systems with lower gross margins were the primary factors contributing
to the decrease in the gross margin percent.

Warehouse, selling and administrative expenses were $68.4 million compared to
$51.4 million incurred during the prior year three-month period. This resulted
in a ratio of these expenses to sales of 12.6% for the current quarter compared
with 13.0% a year ago. The reduction in the ratio of these expenses is due to
the lower ratio of selling expenses associated with computer system sales and
ongoing cost containment programs.

The operating profit resulting from the activity described above of $18.1
million, or 3.3% of sales in the current period, was up 4% compared with $17.3
million, or 4.4% of sales a year ago.

Interest expense was $6.8 million in the current quarter compared with $4.3
million a year ago. The increased interest expense is primarily attributable to
the additional debt to fund working capital and capital expenditure requirements
necessary to support the ongoing growth needs of the business as well as the
effect of the acquisition of Dickens Data Systems, Inc.

The effective tax rate for the current year three-month period was 37.8%
compared with 43.7% for the same period a year ago. The tax rate decrease was
primarily due to the recognization of the tax benefit associated with previous
operating losses of the Canadian subsidiary and lower effective state tax rates.

Distributions on the recently issued mandatorily redeemable convertible trust
preferred securities, net of tax, were $1.5 million for the current year three
month period.


                                       7
<PAGE>   8

Primarily as a result of the factors above, the Company's net income for the
three-month period ending June 30, 1998 of $5.6 million was $1.7 million less
than the $7.3 million earned in the prior year.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Current assets increased by $25.4 million and current liabilities increased by
$10.3 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 1998, resulting in an
increase of $15.1 million in working capital. The current ratio was 2.9:1 at
June 30, 1998 and at year-end March 31, 1998.

In April 1998, the Company purchased a minority equity interest in Eurodis
Electron PLC ("Eurodis"), a pan-European distributor of electronic components.
This purchase furthers the Company's growth strategy by offering it access to
what management believes is a very broad industrial electronic components
market, as well as one of the world's largest telecommunication markets.
Headquartered near London, Eurodis employs 1,100 people in 13 countries and has
operating centers in the United Kingdom, Austria, the Netherlands, Belgium,
France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and Eastern Europe.

In April 1998, the Company issued an additional $18.7 million of mandatorily
redeemable convertible trust preferred securities which were sold upon exercise
of the overallotment option.

During the first three months of the current year, total interest-bearing debt
increased by $5.0 million. The increase in debt is primarily attributable to
funding working capital and capital expenditure needs. The ratio of
interest-bearing debt to capitalization was 47% at June 30, 1998 compared with
48% at March 31, 1998.

Management estimates that capital expenditures for the fiscal year 1999 will
approximate $45 million. Capital expenditures in the first three months of the
current year were $4.8 million. Under present business conditions, it is
anticipated that funds from current operations and available credit facilities
will be sufficient to finance both capital spending and working capital needs
for the balance of the current fiscal year.

OTHER MATTERS

As background for the Year 2000 issue, many existing computer systems and
software programs currently in use are coded to accept only two digit entries in
the date code field. These systems and programs were designed and developed
without considering the impact of the upcoming change in the century. If not
corrected, many computer applications could fail or create erroneous results by
or at the Year 2000.

The Company's core business process system is currently undergoing remediation
to meet Year 2000 compliance. Remediation of the core business process is
anticipated to be completed by October 1998. In addition, the Company has
identified other applications used by the Company and is modifying or replacing
them in order to be Year 2000 compliant. Although the Company believes that it
is taking appropriate precautions against disruption of its systems due to the
Year 2000 issue, there can be no assurance that the Company will identify all
Year 2000 problems in 



                                       8
<PAGE>   9

advance of their occurrence, or that the Company will be able to successfully
remedy any problems that are discovered. Furthermore, there can be no assurance
that the Company's suppliers and customers will not be adversely affected by the
Year 2000. While the Company does not believe that expenditures for the Year
2000 will have a material adverse effect, any resulting systems failures or
interruptions at the Company or its suppliers or customers could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and operating
results.

Portions of this report contain current management expectations which may
constitute forward-looking information. The Company's performance may differ
materially from that contemplated by such statements for a variety of reasons,
including, but not limited to: competition, dependence on the computer market,
cyclical nature of semiconductor market, inventory obsolescence and technology
changes, and dependence on key suppliers.
