3.       EARNINGS PER SHARE

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, restricted stock and assumed
conversion of company-obligated mandatorily redeemable convertible trust
preferred securities and the elimination of related distributions, net of income
taxes.

5.   COMPANY-OBLIGATED MANDORILY REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE
      PREFERRED SECURITIES OF SUBSIDIARY TRUST

In March 1998 and April 1998, Pioneer-Standard Financial Trust (the "Trust")
issued a total of $143.7 million of 6 3/4% Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible
Trust Preferred Securities (the "Trust Preferred Securities"). The Trust, a
statutory business trust, is a wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary of the
Company, with its sole asset being $148.2 million aggregate principal amount of
6 3/4% Junior Convertible Subordinated Debentures due March 31, 2028 of
Pioneer-Standard Electronics, Inc. (the "Trust Debenture"). The Company has
executed a guarantee with regard to the Trust Preferred Securities. The
guarantee, when taken together with the Company's obligations under the Trust
Debenture, the indenture pursuant to which the Trust Debenture was issued, and
the applicable Trust Document provides a full and unconditional guarantee of the
Trust's obligations under the Trust Preferred Securities.

6.         CONTINGENCIES

The Company is the subject of various threatened or pending legal actions and
contingencies in the normal course of conducting its business. The Company
provides for costs related to these matters when a loss is probable and the
amount is reasonably estimable. The effect of the outcome of these matters on
the Company's future results of operations and liquidity cannot be predicted
because any such effect depends on future results of operations and the amount
or timing of the resolution of such matters. While it is not possible to predict
with certainty, management believes that the ultimate resolution of such matters
will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position
or results of operations of the Company.

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



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED WITH
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 of $675.1 million increased 17.2%
over $576.0 million of net sales for the prior year three-month period. Both the
Industrial Electronics and Computer Systems segments contributed to the
increased sales with increases of 20% and 14%, respectively. Industrial
Electronics, which comprised 53% of sales in the quarter, benefited from strong
sales of semiconductors, which continues to be driven by a strong communication
market, as well as by improved sales of interconnect, passive and
electromechanical products compared with the same quarter last year. This
improvement was tempered by lower year to year sales of microprocessors,
resulting from vendor constraints on certain products.

Computer Systems revenues, which comprised 47% of sales for the quarter,
benefited from continuing demand for products that support Internet
applications. Although the Company is experiencing high sales growth for these
products, the sales mix has shifted towards lower margin products in the first
quarter of fiscal 2001.

Cost of goods sold increased 17.5% compared with the prior year quarter,
resulting in a gross margin percentage of 15.3% in the current quarter compared
with 15.5% a year ago. Gross margins increased slightly in the Industrial
Electronics segment as pricing improved compared with last year. This
improvement was offset by lower margins in the computer systems segment, caused
by a sales mix shift to lower margin product and continuing competitive pricing
pressures in the computer business.

Warehouse, selling and administrative expenses were $76.3 million compared with
$67.1 million incurred during the prior year three-month period. This resulted
in a ratio of these expenses to sales of 11.3% for the current quarter compared
with 11.7% a year ago. The reduced ratio of operating expenses to sales in the
current year reflects a combination of the effects of cost containment programs
as well as leveraging costs on higher sales volume.

Operating profit of $26.8 million, or 4.0% of sales in the current period, was
up 20.9% compared with $22.1 million, or 3.8% of sales a year ago. Operating
profit of the Computer Systems segment was $4.5 million, or 1.4% of sales for
the current quarter compared with 3.5% of a year ago. Operating profit of the
Industrial Electronics segment was $22.2 million, or 6.2% of sales compared with
4.2% a year ago.

Interest expense was $7.6 million in the current quarter compared with $6.1
million a year ago. The increased interest expense is a result of additional
borrowings to fund increased working

                                       8
<PAGE>   9

capital needs and slightly higher interest rates in the current quarter compared
with the same period in fiscal 2000.

The effective tax rate for the current year three-month period was 39.0%
compared with 43.5% for the same period a year ago. The tax rate differential
was primarily due to the unrecognized tax benefit of the operating losses of the
Canadian subsidiary which affected the prior year quarter.

Primarily as a result of the factors above, the Company's net income for the
three-month period ending June 30, 2000 increased 32.6% to $10.2 million from
$7.7 million for the same period of the prior year.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Current assets increased by $64.0 million and current liabilities increased by
$.7 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2000, resulting in an
increase of $60.3 million in working capital. The current ratio was 2.9:1 at
June 30, 2000 compared with 2.7:1 at March 31, 2000. The working capital
increase related primarily to higher inventory levels, which increased to $417.7
million at June 30, 2000. These inventory increases have been necessary to
support the Company's robust sales growth.

During the first three months of the current year, total interest-bearing debt
increased by $49.9 million reflective of the change in working capital needed to
support increased sales level. The ratio of interest-bearing debt to
capitalization was 45 percent at June 30, 2000 compared with 43 percent at March
31, 2000.

The Company's investments in affiliates increased $16.5 million during the first
quarter. The increase is attributable to the unrealized gains in the market
value of investments and the Company's purchase, in May 2000, of a minority
equity interest in Magirus AG, a leading European computer systems distributor.
Headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, Magirus employs more than 300 people in
Germany, Austria, France, Italy, Spain and Switzerland.

Management estimates that capital expenditures for the fiscal year 2001 will
approximate $25 million. Capital expenditures in the first three months of the
current year were $3.3 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.

The Company capitalized approximately $34.2 million in fiscal 1998 and 1999 in
connection with the acquisition and installation of an enterprise-wide
information technology ("IT") system. Amounts representing approximately $11.5
million of these expenditures were operational in fiscal 1999 and $8.5 million
are planned to become operational in the current fiscal year. The balance of
$14.2 million represents work-in-process components which are not yet
operational. The Company is evaluating these components and presently has no
reason to believe that they will not become operational. In addition, management
believes there would be no material adverse effect on the financial condition or
results of operations of the Company should such components require further
modification or replacement. It is contemplated that implementation for
completing the balance of the IT system installation will commence in the
current fiscal year.

ITEM 3.         QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET
                RISK

                In the normal course of business, operations of the Company are
                exposed to continuing fluctuations in foreign currency values
                and interest rates that can affect the cost of operating and
                financing. Accordingly, the Company addresses a portion of these
                risks through a program of risk management that includes the use
                of derivative financial instruments. The Company's objective is
                to reduce earnings volatility associated with these
                fluctuations. The Company does not enter into any derivative
                transactions for speculative purposes.

                The Company's primary interest rate risk exposure results from
                the revolving credit facility's various floating rate pricing
                mechanisms. This interest rate exposure is managed by interest
                rate swaps to fix the interest rate on a portion of the debt and
                the use of multiple maturity dates. If interest rates were to
                increase 100 basis points (one percent) from June 30, 2000
                rates, and assuming no changes in debt from June 30, 2000
                levels, the additional annualized net expense would be
                approximately $1.1 million or $.03 per diluted share.

                The Company has investments, assets, liabilities and cash flows
                in foreign currencies creating foreign exchange risk. The
                primary foreign currencies creating foreign exchange risk are
                the Canadian dollar, British pound, German mark, and New Taiwan
                dollar. Monthly measurement, evaluation and forward exchange
                contracts are employed as methods to reduce this risk. At June
                30, 2000, one forward exchange contract existed with a maturity
                of 31 days.
