TECH DATA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The consolidated financial statements and related notes included herein
have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of
management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain
all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to
present fairly the financial position of Tech Data Corporation and subsidiaries
(the "Company" or "Tech Data") as of April 30, 1999 and 1998, and the results of
their operations and cash flows for the three months ended April 30, 1999 and
1998. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the three months
ended April 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be
expected for the entire fiscal year ending January 31, 2000.
NOTE 2 - NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE:
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted EPS
reflects the potential dilution that could occur assuming the conversion of the
convertible subordinated notes and exercise of the stock options using the
if-converted and treasury stock methods, respectively. The composition of basic
and diluted net income per common share is as follows:

<PAGE>
NOTE 3 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME:
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"). SFAS 130
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components in the Company's consolidated financial statements. Comprehensive
income is defined as the change in equity (net assets) of a business enterprise
during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from
non-owner sources. The Company's balance of other comprehensive income is
comprised exclusively of changes in the net cumulative translation adjustment.
Comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended April 30, 1999 and 1998
was $(25.6) million and $23.0 million.
NOTE 4 - SEGMENT INFORMATION:
The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" which
establishes standards for additional disclosure about operating segments for
interim and annual financial statements. This standard requires financial and
descriptive information be disclosed for segments whose operating results are
reviewed by the chief operating officer for decisions on resource allocation.
The Company operates predominantly in a single industry segment as a
wholesale distributor of computer-based technology products and services. Based
on geographic location, the Company has three principal segments. These
geographical segments are 1) the United States, 2) Europe (including the Middle
East) and 3) Other International areas (Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru,
Uruguay, and export sales to Latin America and the Caribbean from the U.S.). The
measure of segment profit is income from operations.
Financial information by geographic segment is as follows (in
thousands):

NOTE 5 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT:
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"
("SFAS 133"). This statement requires that all derivative instruments be
recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of
derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive
income, depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge
transaction and, if so, the type of the hedge transaction. The ineffective
portion of all hedge transactions is recognized in current-period earnings.
SFAS 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The future
impact of this statement on the Company's results of operations is not expected
to be material.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results
Of Operations
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1999 AND 1998
Net sales increased 77.5% to $3.88 billion in the first quarter of
fiscal 2000 compared to $2.18 billion in the first quarter of last year. This
increase is attributable to the acquisition of Computer 2000 AG ("Computer
2000"), as well as the addition of new product lines and the expansion of
existing product lines. The Company's first quarter U.S., Europe and other
international sales grew 16.7%, 264.5% and 38.7%, respectively, compared to the
first quarter of last year. The significant growth in the Company's
international sales is attributable to the acquisition of Computer 2000.
Excluding the effect of acquisitions, sales growth rates were approximately 17%,
18%, 12% and 17% in the U.S., Europe, other international areas and worldwide,
respectively. Total international sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2000
represent approximately 54% of consolidated net sales compared with 30% in the
prior year.
The cost of products sold as a percentage of net sales increased from
93.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 to 94.2% in the current period. The
increase is a result of competitive market prices and the Company's strategy of
lowering selling prices in order to gain market share and to pass on the benefit
of operating efficiencies to its customers.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 66.9% from $94.8
million in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 to $158.2 million in fiscal 2000,
and as a percentage of net sales decreased to 4.08% from 4.34% in the comparable
prior year period. The dollar value increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses is attributable to the acquisition of Computer 2000,
increases in amortization of intangibles as well as other operating expenses
needed to support the increased volume of business.
As a result of the factors described above, operating profit in the
first quarter of fiscal 2000 increased 49.0% to $67.0 million, or 1.73% of net
sales, compared to $45.0 million, or 2.06% of net sales in the first quarter of
fiscal 1999.
Interest expense increased due to an increase in the Company's average
outstanding indebtedness related to funding the acquisition and related working
capital requirements of Computer 2000 as well as funding for continued growth
and capital expenditures.
The Company recorded a net foreign currency transaction loss of $4.8
million related to the devaluation of the Brazilian currency and the weakening
of currencies in various European countries, including the United Kingdom,
Germany, Finland, Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic. Prior year net foreign
currency transaction gains and losses were not significant.
The provision for income taxes increased 24.4% to $17.2 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to $13.8 million last year. The increase
is attributable to an increase in the Company's income before income taxes. The
Company's average income tax rate increased from 37.3% in the first quarter of
1999 to 37.9% in the current year due to fluctuations in the amount of federal,
state and foreign taxable income reported in each period.
9
<PAGE>
As a result of the factors described above, net income increased 21.3%
to $28.0 million, or $.53 per diluted share, compared to $23.1 million, or $.46
per diluted share, in the prior year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash provided by operating activities of $49.9 million during the
first quarter of fiscal 2000 was primarily attributable to income from
operations of $28.0 million and reductions in accounts receivable, inventories
and prepaid and other assets, partially offset by a decrease in accounts
payable.
Net cash used in investing activities of $27.6 million during the first
three months of fiscal 2000 was attributable to the continuing investment of
$15.3 million related to the expansion of the Company's management information
systems, office facilities and distribution centers combined with the payment of
$12.3 million related to the acquisition of additional shares of the common
stock of Computer 2000. The Company expects to make capital expenditures of
approximately $75 - $100 million during fiscal 2000 to further expand its
management information systems, office facilities and distribution centers.
Net cash used in financing activities of $30.7 million during the first
three months of fiscal 2000 reflects the net repayments on the Company's
revolving credit loans and long-term debt of $32.9 million offset by the
proceeds from stock option exercises (including the related income tax benefit)
of $2.2 million.
The Company currently maintains domestic and foreign revolving credit
agreements which provide maximum short-term borrowings of approximately $1.35
billion (including local country credit lines), of which $785 million was
outstanding at April 30, 1999. The Company believes that cash from operations,
available and obtainable bank credit lines and trade credit from its vendors
will be sufficient to satisfy its working capital and capital expenditure
requirements through fiscal 2000.
ASSET MANAGEMENT
The Company manages its inventories by maintaining sufficient
quantities to achieve high order fill rates while attempting to stock only those
products in high demand with a rapid turnover rate. Inventory balances fluctuate
as the Company adds new product lines and when appropriate, makes large
purchases, including cash purchases from manufacturers and publishers when the
terms of such purchases are considered advantageous. The Company's contracts
with most of its vendors provide price protection and stock rotation privileges
to reduce the risk of loss due to manufacturer price reductions and slow moving
or obsolete inventory. In the event of a vendor price reduction, the Company
generally receives a credit for the impact on products in inventory. In
addition, the Company has the right to rotate a certain percentage of purchases,
subject to certain limitations. Historically, price protection and stock
rotation privileges, as well as the Company's inventory management procedures
have helped to reduce the risk of loss of carrying inventory.
10
<PAGE>
The Company attempts to control losses on credit sales by closely
monitoring customers' creditworthiness through its computer system, which
contains detailed information on each customer's payment history and other
relevant information. The Company has obtained credit insurance which insures a
percentage of the credit extended by the Company to certain of its larger
domestic and international customers against possible loss. Customers who
qualify for credit terms are typically granted net 30 day payment terms. The
Company also sells product on a prepay, credit card, cash on delivery and
floor-plan basis.
YEAR 2000
Introduction
The "Year 2000 Problem" arose because many existing computer programs
use only the last two digits to refer to a year. Therefore, these computer
programs do not properly recognize a year that begins with "20" instead of the
familiar "19." If not corrected, many computer applications could fail or create
erroneous results. The problems created by using abbreviated dates appear in
hardware (such as microchips), operating systems and other software programs.
The Company's Year 2000 ("Y2K") compliance project is intended to determine the
readiness of the Company's business for the Year 2000. The Company defines Y2K
"compliance" to mean that the computer code will process all defined future
dates properly and give accurate results.
Description of Areas of Impact and Risk
The Company has identified four areas where the Y2K problem creates
risk to the Company. These areas are: a) internal Information Technology ("IT")
systems; b) non-IT systems with embedded chip technology; c) system capabilities
of third party businesses with relationships with the Company, including product
suppliers, customers, service providers (such as telephone, power, logistics,
financial services) and other businesses whose failure to be Y2K compliant could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or
results of operations; and d) product liability claims arising out of the
non-performance of computer products distributed by the Company.
Plan to Address Year 2000 Compliance
In August 1997, the Company formed a Year 2000 compliance project team
and began developing an overall plan to address Y2K readiness issues. This plan
includes five phases as follows: Phase I is to create an inventory of the
Company's IT systems, non-IT systems and service providers (each of these being
referred to as "business components") that need to be analyzed for Y2K
compliance. During Phase I, a priority is established so that the Company will
first address the most important business components to determine Y2K readiness.
Phase II analyzes the identified business components to determine which of the
business components in the inventory require additional effort to be Y2K
compliant. Phase III is the repair, modification or replacement of business
components which the analysis determines are not Y2K compliant ("remediation").
Phase IV consists of various types of testing to confirm that the remediation
process has resulted in the business components being Y2K compliant.
11
<PAGE>
Phase V is the development of contingency plans to address potential risks that
the Y2K compliance project may not fully address.
State of Readiness
IT Systems - U.S. and Canada- The Company is in Phase III and Phase IV
of the Year 2000 project overall. As testing and remediation progress, the
inventory and test plans are refined. Approximately 76% of all identified IT
system business components in the U.S. have been deemed to be Y2K compliant as
of April 15, 1999 with analysis of the remaining 24% continuing. Of the 24%
remaining, remediation will be completed by re-writing and upgrading key
software application systems to incorporate Y2K compliance.
Functional testing of individual components of the Company's business
critical applications has been completed. Fully integrated tests of these
individual components will continue with completion targeted in September 1999.
Completion of full integration testing has moved from July to September in order
to provide adequate time to complete all remediation of business critical
applications outside the mainframe environment and the technology refresh
described in the next paragraph.
The expected completion of the testing and remediation of the Company's
desktop hardware and software systems is October 1999. The Company is addressing
the Y2K compliance of these systems by acceleration of a previously planned
desktop technology refresh during which systems that are not Y2K compliant will
be replaced. Internal resources have been reallocated and external resources
have been secured to address these issues by the planned completion dates. Full
integration testing can be completed only after the applications and systems
outside the mainframe environment have also been remediated.
The on-line portion of the DCS software system (the Company's system
performing the primary business functions of sales order entry, billing,
purchasing, distribution and inventory control) has been determined to be
compliant for the following dates: January 1, February 29, and December 31,
2000. Remaining batch processing portions of the DCS system are still in
progress. User acceptance testing for all portions of the DCS system is targeted
to begin June 1999. In addition to the Company's internal resources, outside
consultants have been secured to focus exclusively on the DCS environment.
IT Systems - Outside the U.S. and Canada - The Company's subsidiaries
located outside of the U.S. and Canada are currently focusing on Phase III and
Phase IV tasks of the Year 2000 project. As of March 29, 1999, approximately 59%
of the identified critical business components of all countries have been
determined to be Y2K compliant. Each country is separately reporting on its
progress, with central coordination and management provided by the Y2K
compliance project team.
12
<PAGE>
For the subsidiaries of Computer 2000 ("C2000"), country locations are
divided into two core areas: those using the SAP R/2 system (the Company's
system performing the primary business functions of sales, order entry, billing,
purchasing, distribution and inventory control) and those that use other systems
to provide these business processes. The majority of the countries use the SAP
R/2 system. The version of SAP R/2 in use by C2000, has received certification
from TUV, a German governmental independent testing authority, that it is Y2K
compliant. C2000 is testing these elements and the custom modifications it has
made to the system, with completion of this testing scheduled for September
1999. This testing incorporates related subsystems and key client/server and
desktop systems.
For those countries using non-SAP R/2 systems, conversion to SAP R/2 or
upgrades to a compliant system are being implemented or the system is being
determined to be Y2K compliant through certification by the vendor and internal
C2000 testing. In France, the Company is consolidating the operations of its
Tech Data subsidiary with C2000's subsidiary. As part of this consolidation, SAP
R/2 systems will be replaced with currently existing enterprise systems that are
not Y2K compliant. For this reason, additional project phases have been
identified which will require the conversion of operations in France to a
single, Y2K compliant, enterprise system. Conversion of this system is scheduled
to begin in July 1999.
Non-IT systems - The non-IT systems (devices which store and report
date-related information, such as access control systems, elevators, conveyors
and other items containing a microprocessor or internal clock) are utilizing the
phased plan approach for the IT systems. Phase I inventory and prioritization
has been completed for non-IT systems in the U.S. and in connection with the
Company's acquisition of Computer 2000, is currently being conducted in the
Company's worldwide locations. Phase II analysis is being performed on systems
material to the Company's operations with the assistance of the Company's
vendors, with completion expected in July 1999. Implementation of Phases III and
IV will continue through August 1999. The Company currently plans to complete
the Y2K compliance program for all material non-IT systems by the end of October
1999.
Material Third Parties - The Company relies on third party suppliers
for many systems, products and services. The Company will be adversely affected
if these third parties are not Y2K compliant. The Company continues to solicit,
receive and review responses to surveys sent to those third parties determined
to be material to the operations of the Company to determine their Y2K
readiness. For those critical third parties that fail to respond to the
Company's survey, the Company is pursuing alternative means of obtaining Y2K
readiness information and is conducting reviews of publicly available
information published by such third parties.
Product Liability - The Company does not make any representations or
warranties that the products it distributes are or will be Y2K-ready or
compliant. In certain countries where the Company or its subsidiaries distribute
products, the Company may have an obligation to accept returns of products
which fail because the product is not Y2K ready. In most cases, these returns
may be passed on to the manufacturer. In those countries where product return
obligations may exist, the Company plans to carefully review manufacturer
representations regarding products that are sold in material volumes by the
Company or its subsidiaries.

Cost of Project
The Company has incurred approximately $3.5 million through April 30,
1999 on the Y2K compliance effort, excluding compensation and benefit costs for
associates who do not work full-time on the Y2K project and costs of systems
upgrades that would have normally been made on a similar timetable. The overall
cost of the Y2K compliance effort cannot be accurately estimated until all
inventory and analysis phases associated with the recent acquisition of Computer
2000 have been completed, however, the Company believes the costs will be
approximately $9.1 million.
Contingency Planning and Risks
The Company has begun contingency planning for some of its critical
applications and will be developing additional contingency plans as testing
determines the necessity. While the Company believes that its approach to Y2K
readiness is sound, it is possible that some business components are not
identified in the inventory, or that the scanning or testing process does not
result in analysis and remediation of all source code. The Company will assume a
third party is not Y2K ready if no survey response or an inadequate survey
response is received. The Company's contingency plan will address alternative
providers and processes to deal with business interruptions that may be caused
by internal system or third party providers failure to be Y2K ready to the
extent it is possible.
The failure to correct a material Y2K problem could result in an
interruption in, or a failure of, certain normal business activities or
operations. Such failure could materially and adversely affect the Company's
operations and therefore, could materially and adversely affect the Company's
results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. In addition, the
Company's operating results could be materially adversely affected if it were to
be held responsible for the failure of any products sold by the Company to be
Y2K ready despite the Company's disclaimer of product warranties and the
limitation of liability contained in its sales terms and conditions.
EURO CONVERSION
On January 1, 1999, eleven of the fifteen member countries of the
European Union commenced a conversion from their existing sovereign currencies
to a new, single currency called the euro. Fixed conversion rates between the
existing currencies, the legacy currencies, and the euro were established and
the euro became the common legal currency of the participating countries on this
date. The euro now trades on currency exchanges and is available for non-cash
transactions. The participants will now issue sovereign debt exclusively in euro
and have redenominated all outstanding sovereign debt. Following this
introduction period, the participating members legacy currencies will remain
legal tender as denominations of euro until January 1, 2002. At that time,
countries will issue new euro-denominated bills for use in cash transactions.
All legacy currency will be withdrawn prior to July 1, 2002 completing the euro
conversion on this date. As of January 1, 1999, the participating countries no
longer control their own monetary policies by directing independent interest
rates for the legacy currencies; instead, the authority to direct monetary
policy, including money supply and official interest rates for the euro, is
exercised by the new European Central Bank.

The Company has implemented a plan to address the issues raised by the
euro conversion. These issues include, but are not limited to; the competitive
impact created by cross-border price transparency; the need for the Company and
its business partners to adapt IT and non-IT systems to accommodate
euro-demoninated transactions; and the need to analyze the legal and contractual
implications of the Company's contracts. The Company currently anticipates that
the required modifications to its systems, equipment and processes will be made
on a timely basis and does not expect that the costs of such modifications will
have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.
Since the implementation of the euro on January 1, 1999, the Company
has experienced improved efficiencies in its cash management program in Europe
and has been able to reduce certain hedging activities as a direct result of the
conversion. The Company has not experienced any material adverse effects on its
financial position or results of operations in connection with the initial
roll-out of the euro currency.
