Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         The undersigned registrant, Tech Data Corporation ("Tech Data" or the
"Company"), hereby amends the financial statements, exhibits and other portions
of its Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 1, 1998 and filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on July 15, 1998, as set
forth herein. This Current Report on Form 8-K was filed to report the
acquisition of approximately 83% of the voting stock of Computer 2000 AG
("Computer 2000" or "Computer 2000 Group"), Europe's leading technology products
distributor. The Company acquired approximately 80% of the outstanding voting
stock of Computer 2000 on July 1, 1998 from its parent company, Klockner & Co.
AG, based in Duisburg, Germany. Klockner & Co. AG is a subsidiary of
Munich-based conglomerate VIAG AG. The initial acquisition was completed through
an exchange of approximately 2.2 million shares of Tech Data Corporation common
stock and $300 million of 5% convertible subordinated notes, due 2003. In a
separate cash transaction on July 1, 1998, Tech Data also acquired an additional
stake of approximately 3% of Computer 2000's shares from an institutional
investor. The combined value of these transactions, including expenses, totaled
approximately $403 million.

         Item 7 of the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 1, 1998,
is hereby amended to include the financial statements and exhibits indicated in

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors of

Computer 2000 Aktiengesellschaft

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Computer 2000
Aktiengesellschaft and subsidiaries ("Computer 2000") as of September 30, 1997
and 1996 and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows
for each of the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We
did not audit the consolidated financial statements of AmeriQuest Technologies,
Inc. as of and for the year ended September 30, 1996, which statements reflect
total assets and revenues constituting 10 percent and 12 percent, respectively,
of the related consolidated totals. Those financial statements were audited by
other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and in our opinion,
insofar as it relates to the amounts, before adjustments necessary for
conformity with German generally accepted accounting principles and before
translation into Deutsche Mark, is based solely on the report of the other
auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
in Germany and the United States. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of
other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the
consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Computer 2000 as of September 30,
1997 and 1996 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in
Germany.

Generally accepted accounting principles in Germany vary in certain significant
respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The
application of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
would have affected results of operations for the years ended September 30, 1997
and 1996 and stockholders' equity as of September 30, 1997 and 1996 to the
extent summarized in Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements.

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To AmeriQuest Technologies, Inc.:

We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of AmeriQuest Technologies, Inc.,
(a Delaware Corporation) and subsidiaries (AmeriQuest) as of September 30, 1996
and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and
cash flows, not presented separately herein, for the fiscal year then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of AmeriQuest's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of AmeriQuest Technologies Inc.
and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1996, and the results of their operations
and cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
                               COMPUTER 2000 GROUP

A.   GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF COMPUTER
     2000 AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT ("COMPUTER 2000 GROUP")

APPLICABLE REGULATIONS

The consolidated financial statements of Computer 2000 Aktiengesellschaft
     ("Computer 2000") for the years ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 have been
     prepared in compliance with the regulations set out in the German
     Commercial Code (HGB) and the German Stock Corporation Law. The income
     statement has been prepared using the cost of sales classification method.

In order to improve the clarity of their presentation, certain items have been
     summarized on the face of the balance sheet and income statement and are
     detailed separately in the notes.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in the
     consolidated financial statements of Computer 2000 Group:

INTANGIBLE NON-CURRENT ASSETS are stated at acquisition cost and are amortized
     straight-line over their estimated useful lives.

TANGIBLE NON-CURRENT ASSETS are valued at acquisition or production cost, less
     accumulated depreciation from previous years together with depreciation
     charged in fiscal 1996/97. Depreciable, movable non-current assets with
     useful lives exceeding 3 years are depreciated using the declining-balance
     method and maximum rates permitted by the tax authorities. The method is
     changed to straight-line as soon as this results in a higher depreciation
     charge. Unscheduled depreciation is charged on assets whose net realizable
     values fall below their carrying values.

A full year's depreciation is charged for additions to movable assets acquired 
     in the first half of the fiscal year and a half-year's depreciation is
     charged on assets acquired in the second half of the year. Minor-value
     assets with a purchase cost of less than DM 800 are fully depreciated in
     the year of their acquisition.

FINANCIAL ASSETS are valued at acquisition cost. Write-downs are made where it
     is believed there is a permanent diminution in value.

In the consolidated financial statements inventories are stated at the lower of 
     cost or net realizable value, whereby cost is calculated using moving
     average prices.

Adjustments are made, where appropriate, to cover risks arising from slow-moving
     and obsolete inventories.

TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, RECEIVABLES FROM RELATED COMPANIES AND OTHER CURRENT
     ASSETS are included at nominal value less provisions for estimated
     discounts. Specific allowances for bad debts have been set up to cover
     recognized credit risks from individual receivables and a general allowance
     for bad debts has been made for overall credit risk.

PENSION PROVISIONS cover all pension commitments and are calculated actuarially,
     using a discount rate of 6% and applying the entry-age-normal method as
     permitted by the German tax authorities. Past service cost is recognized as
     permitted by ss. 6a (4) of the German Income Tax Law.

Other accruals have been set up to cover all foreseeable risks and uncertain
     liabilities at the end of the year.

Deferred taxes are calculated on temporary differences between commercial and
     taxable income, together with temporary differences arising from
     consolidation adjustments. Deferred taxes arising in the individual
     financial statements have been combined with those arising on
     consolidation.

LIABILITIES are recorded at amounts payable.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE IN FOREIGN CURRENCY, to the extent they are not hedged, are
     translated into Deutsche Mark at transaction date rates or, if lower, at
     rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Foreign currency liabilities are
     translated at forward rates, provided they were hedged at the date the
     liabilities arose. Otherwise, they are translated at the higher of the
     transaction date rates or rates ruling at the end of the year.

Insurance claims and marketing contributions are offset against the related
     expenses in the income statement.


COMPANIES INCLUDED IN CONSOLIDATION

All major domestic and foreign subsidiaries have been included in the
     consolidation financial statements of the Computer 2000 Group. The
     following companies have not been included in the consolidated financial
     statements, as their influence on the assets and liabilities, financial and
     earnings position of the Group is not considered material: Datech 2000
     Ltd., Basingstoke, Great Britain; Computer 2000 S.L., Spain; AnyBus
     Technology Corporation, Hollywood, Florida, USA, AmeriQuest / 2000 Inc.,
     Horsham, Pennsylvania, USA all of which are dormant companies, and Computer
     2000, Vilnius, Lithuania, an operating company.

Professional Systems AS, Oslo, Norway and Datec Norway AS, Oslo, Norway, both of
     which were dormant, were merged with Computer 2000 Norway AS, Oslo, Norway.
     The assets and liabilities of CMS Enhancements Inc., Florida, USA were sold
     as part of an asset deal. The company's name was then changed to AAG Inc.
     CMS Enhancement Systems Inc., Hollywood, Florida, USA was sold as part of
     the restructuring. AmeriQuest Technologies Ltd., (Australia) Pty. Ltd.,
     Roseville, New South Wales, Australia was liquidated. Computer 2000 Italia
     S.r.L., Milan, Italy and Bits & Bytes S.r.L., Milan, Italy, both dormant
     companies, were liquidated in 1996/97.


CONSOLIDATION METHODS

The consolidation methods used have remained unchanged from the previous year.
     Audited interim financial statements were drawn up for subsidiaries with
     fiscal years ending on dates other than September 30.

As in previous years, subsidiaries' equity is consolidated using the purchase
     method, whereby the investment in the subsidiary is offset against that
     part of equity attributable to the parent company. Any resulting difference
     is determined at the time of acquisition.

Differences arising on initial consolidation are offset directly against
     reserves in the consolidated balance sheet, to the extent such differences
     represent goodwill as defined in ss. 309 of the German Commercial Code.

Minority shareholders' interests in equity and income for the year are
     calculated based on their shareholding, voting rights or economic share and
     are shown separately as part of equity in the consolidated balance sheet.

Unless they are of minor importance, intercompany profits arising from
     deliveries of goods and services within the Group are eliminated.


                                      F-7
<PAGE>   13

Intercompany sales and other operating income are eliminated against
     corresponding expense items.

Intercompany receivables and payables are eliminated. Any differences arising
     from this elimination process, compared with differences at the beginning
     of the year, are credited or charged to the income statement.

Any contingent liabilities to consolidated companies are also eliminated.

The tax effects of those consolidation adjustments affecting income are
     calculated and included with deferred tax balances arising in the
     individual financial statements of the companies included in consolidation.

Uniform accounting and classification policies have been applied to the
     financial statements of all consolidated domestic and foreign subsidiaries.
     Appropriate adjustments have been made in the event of differences between
     local and German accounting policies.


FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

In the consolidated financial statements, assets and liabilities of all foreign 
     subsidiaries are translated into Deutsche Marks at closing exchange rates
     at the balance sheet date. Fair value adjustments to assets and liabilities
     made at the time of initial consolidation are translated using exchange
     rates in effect at that time. Differences arising from translating balance
     sheet items at varying exchange rates are charged or credited directly to a
     separate item of equity.

Items making up the income statement are translated at average exchange rates
     for the year. The resulting exchange rate differences are recognized in the
     income statement.


UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL DATA

The interim financial data at March 31, 1998 and for the six months ended March
     31, 1998 and 1997 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management,
     such interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal
     recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the
     interim periods.

pension provision was made using a discount rate of 6% and mortality tables
issued by Dr. Klaus Heubeck.

NOTES TO GERMAN GAAP TO U.S. GAAP RECONCILIATIONS

(A) GOODWILL

    In accordance with German GAAP, the difference between the purchase price
    and fair value of net assets acquired as part of a business combination
    (goodwill) may be charged directly to shareholders' equity. Under U.S. GAAP,
    goodwill must be capitalized and amortized through the income statement over
    its useful life not to exceed 40 years.

    Under U.S. GAAP management must assess the recoverability of long-lived
    assets, including goodwill, by determining whether the amortization of the
    balance over the remaining life can be recovered through the undiscounted
    future operating cash flows of the respective assets. As a result of an
    impairment, the Company wrote off its investment in AmeriQuest Technologies,
    Inc. during the year ended September 30, 1996. In addition, the goodwill
    arising from the purchase of DM 5.0 million was written off in fiscal 1997.

(B) OTHER ACCRUALS

    Under German GAAP, accruals are determined by reasonable and prudent
    estimates reflecting the expected costs and expenses.

    Under U.S. GAAP, an estimated loss from a loss contingency shall be charged
    to income only if it is probable that an asset had been impaired or a
    liability had been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the
    amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. If a loss is probable and
    the reasonable estimate of the loss is a range and no amount within the
    range appears to be a better estimate than any other amount, the minimum
    amount in the range shall be accrued. General or unspecified business risks
    do not meet the conditions for accrual and, therefore, no accrual shall be
    made. Gain contingencies shall not be credited to income.

(C) LOSSES ALLOCATED TO MINORITY INTERESTS

    Under German GAAP minority interests are classified as a separate component
    of equity and can be allocated unlimited losses generated by the respective
    investment. Under U.S. GAAP minority interests are not classified as equity
    and losses allocated to minority interests are limited to the extent of
    minority interests.

(D) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

    Under German GAAP the Company translates assets and liabilities of foreign
    subsidiaries at spot rate at balance sheet date and income statement items
    at average rate. The consolidated net income (loss) for the year, however,
    is translated at spot rate and the resulting exchange rate difference is
    recognized in income.

    Under U.S. GAAP, generally all assets and liabilities of foreign
    subsidiaries are translated using the exchange rate at period end and income
    statement items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during
    the period. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate
    component of equity.

(E) OTHER

    Under German GAAP the Company provides for pension obligations using the
    entry age normal method as defined in the German tax code. U.S. GAAP require
    that the projected unit credit method be used and is more prescriptive as to
    the use of actuarial assumptions.


                                      F-16
<PAGE>   22

(F) DEFERRED TAXES AND TAX EFFECT OF U.S. GAAP ADJUSTMENTS

    Under German GAAP, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not generally
    recognized for all temporary differences between the book carrying values
    and tax bases of the assets and liabilities. Under U.S. GAAP, with some
    exceptions, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for all
    temporary differences between the book carrying values and tax bases of the
    assets and liabilities and the net operation loss carry forwards using
    future statutory tax rates. The measurement of deferred assets is reduced,
    if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available
    evidence, are not expected to be realized.

(G) LOSS ALLOCATED TO COMPUTER 2000 GROUP

    German GAAP allows the allocation of operating losses to minority interest
    even when the allocated losses will exceed the minority equity so that in 
    total a negative minority equity will be stated. 
  
    Differing from the above mentioned German GAAP method, U.S. GAAP only
    allows the allocating of operating losses to minority interest up to the
    amount of the stated minority equity. Therefore the actual loss 1996 of
    minority interest of the AmeriQuest Group was allocated to the Computer 2000
    Group level.


ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Under German GAAP trade receivables sold under an asset backed securitization
program are removed from the balance sheet. Under U.S. GAAP unless specific
requirements are met many such transactions are treated as a financing
transaction and as such the trade receivables continue to be reflected on the
balance sheet. As a result of such sales of receivables, assets and liabilities
as of September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, would have been DEM 193.6 
million and DEM 90.0 million higher than under German GAAP.

EXTRAORDINARY ITEM

Certain income and expense items, including losses in regard to AmeriQuest
Technologies, Inc., can be classified as extraordinary income or expense for
German GAAP purposes which can not be classified as extraordinary under U.S.
GAAP.

                          UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED
                        CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Basis of Presentation

         The following Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
give effect to the acquisition by Tech Data Corporation ("Tech Data" or the
"Company") of approximately 83% of the voting stock of Computer 2000 AG
("Computer 2000") on July 1, 1998. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet is based upon the individual consolidated balance
sheets of the Company as of April 30, 1998 and of Computer 2000 as of March 31,
1998. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income are
based upon the individual consolidated statements of income of the Company for
the three months ended April 30, 1998 and the year ended January 31, 1998 and of
Computer 2000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and the year ended
September 30, 1997. The results of operations of Tech Data and Computer 2000
have been combined to give effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred at
the beginning of the periods presented.

         The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is based
upon preliminary fair value allocations relative to the purchase of Computer
2000. The final allocation of the purchase price may vary as additional
information is obtained, and accordingly, the ultimate allocations may differ
from the allocations used in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial
statements.

         The following pro forma financial information has been prepared from
and should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and
related notes thereto of Computer 2000 appearing in the response to Item 7(a) of
this Current Report on Form 8-K/A and the historical financial statements and
related notes thereto of Tech Data Corporation for the year ended January 31,
1998 and the three months ended April 30, 1998, previously filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

         The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is not
necessarily indicative of the financial position or operating results that would
have occurred had the acquisition been consummated on the date or at the
beginning of the periods for which the acquisition is being given effect nor is
it necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial position.

               NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note (1) - Pro Forma Balance Sheet Adjustments

         On July 1, 1998 Tech Data Corporation ("Tech Data" or the "Company")
acquired approximately 83% of the outstanding voting stock of Computer 2000 AG
("Computer 2000"). The Company acquired approximately 80% of the outstanding
voting stock of Computer 2000 from its parent company, Klockner & Co. AG through
an exchange of approximately 2.2 million shares of Tech Data Corporation common
stock and $300 million of 5% convertible subordinated notes, due 2003. In a
separate cash transaction on July 1, 1998, Tech Data also acquired an additional
stake of approximately 3% of Computer 2000's shares from an institutional
investor. The combined value of these transactions, including expenses, totaled
approximately $403 million. The transactions have been accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting.

         The following are the pro forma balance sheet adjustments to reflect
the purchase:

(a)      Reflects the issuance of $300 million of 5% convertible subordinated
         notes and the issuance of 2.2 million shares of the Company's common
         stock paid as consideration in connection with the acquisition of
         Computer 2000.

(b)      Reflects the elimination of the common stock, additional paid in
         capital and retained earnings of Computer 2000 and the establishment of
         minority interest.

(c)      Reflects elimination of acquired goodwill of $46 million and the 
         recognition of goodwill recorded on the acquisition. For purposes of 
         the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Balance Sheet as of April 30, 1998, 
         the goodwill was computed by subtracting from the estimated purchase 
         price of $403 million the fair value of net assets acquired as of 
         March 31, 1998 (net of minority interest).

(d)      Reflects the debt issued to finance estimated acquisition costs and
         additional purchases of the outstanding common stock of C2000
         subsequent to the initial acquisition financed through advances on the
         Company's revolving credit loans.

(e)      Reflects the reduction of the acquired deferred tax asset to reflect 
         the anticipated effective tax rate and related impact on the amount to
         be realized.

Note (2) - Pro Forma Income Statement Adjustments


(f)      Reflects the elimination of amortization expense relating to acquired
         goodwill.

(g)      Reflects the amortization of goodwill resulting from the acquisition of
         Computer 2000 over a period of 40 years. Note that the goodwill of
         C2000 is computed herein based upon the difference between the purchase
         price and the preliminarily estimated fair value of net assets acquired
         as of the date of the closing of the transaction.

(h)      Reflects the recognition of interest expense resulting from the
         issuance of $300 million, 5% subordinated debentures and additional
         debt advanced on the Company's revolving credit loans used to fund the
         acquisition of Computer 2000 common stock.

(i)      Records the tax benefit related to the recognition of interest expense
         on indebtedness incurred in connection with the acquisition.

(j)      Recognizes the impact of the outstanding minority interest on Computer
         2000's earnings after giving effect to pro forma adjustments and
         related tax effects.

(k)      Represents adjustment to eliminate non-recurring charges and related
         tax effects associated with AmeriQuest (a subsidiary of Computer 2000).

(l)      Reflects the adjustment to basic and diluted weighted average common
         shares outstanding related to the issuance of common stock and
         convertible subordinated debt to finance the acquisition.

                              SIDE LETTER AGREEMENT

Tech Data Corporation ("TDC") hereby agrees with Klockner & Co. AG ("KLOCKNER")
and VIAG AG ("VIAG") that so long as Klockner and/or VIAG, or any of their
subsidiaries, own any or all of the 5% Convertible Subordinated Notes due
[insert 60 months after date of closing], 2003 (the "NOTES") issued under the
Trust Indenture dated as of [insert date of closing], 1998 (the "INDENTURE"),
TDC will not redeem those Notes owned by Klockner or VIAG, or any of their
subsidiaries, unless the closing price of the common stock of TDC into which the
Notes may be converted is at least equal to 100% of the Conversion Price in
effect for 15 Trading Days within a period of 30 Trading Days ending within 5
Trading Days prior to the notice of redemption. This limitation on the right of
redemption does not apply to Notes owned by parties other than Klockner or VIAG.

In the event that TDC issues or intends to issue securities of TDC convertible
into or exchangeable for shares of common stock of TDC, equity interests in TDC
or additional shares of common stock of TDC (other than shares of common stock
of TDC under a qualified or non-qualified stock option plan of TDC or share
issued in conjunction with an acquisition) (an "ISSUANCE") Klockner and VIAG,
(or any subsidiary of VIAG designated for the purpose by Klockner) shall have
the right of first refusal to purchase up to an amount of the issuance necessary
to maintain Klockner and VIAG's then percentage ownership in the equity of TDC,
including the total number of TDC shares issuable upon conversation. TDC shall
notify Klockner and VIAG of TDC's intent to make an issuance in writing and to
indicate the anticipated offering price for the issuance. Klockner and VIAG (or
any subsidiary of VIAG designated for the purpose by Klockner) shall each have
until the earlier of the date of issuance or 15 days following formal notice
within which to ex-

notify TDC of its intention related to an issuance in the time specified above,
the party that fails to provide such notice shall be deemed to have waived its
right of first refusal as to that issuance only.
