                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

         The consolidated financial statements and related notes included herein
have been prepared by the Tech Data Corporation (the "Company" or "Tech Data"),
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 as of July 31, 2000 and the results of
their operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2000 and 1999 and
their cash flows for the six months ended July 31, 2000 and 1999. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. The results of operations for the six months ended July 31, 2000
are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the
entire fiscal year ending January 31, 2001.

NOTE 2- NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE:

         Basic Earnings per Share ("Basic EPS") excludes from the calculation of
earnings per share the potential for dilution of earnings by certain common
stock equivalents and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted Earnings
Per Share ("Diluted EPS") reflects the potential dilution that could occur
assuming conversion of certain common stock equivalents such as the Company's
convertible subordinated notes, as well as exercise of 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:

NOTE 5 - REVOLVING CREDIT LOANS:

         The Company maintains a $445 million Revolving Credit Facility with a
syndicate of banks which expires in May 2003. The Company pays interest under
this Revolving Credit Facility at the applicable Eurocurrency rate plus a margin
based on the Company's credit rating. Additionally, the Company maintains a $700
million Receivables Securitization Program with a syndicate of banks which
expires in May 2001. The Company pays interest on the Receivables Securitization
Program at designated commercial paper rates plus an agreed-upon margin. In
addition to these credit facilities, the Company maintains additional lines of
credit and overdraft facilities totaling approximately $500 million. The
aforementioned credit facilities include covenants which must be complied with
on a continuous basis, including the maintenance of certain financial ratios and
restrictions on payment of dividends. The Company is in compliance with all such
covenants.

NOTE 6 - SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION:

         The Company entered into non-cash transactions representing capital
lease obligations of approximately $5.4 million during the first six months of
fiscal 2001. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash in the prior year
period was not material.

NOTE 7 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"
("SFAS 133"). This statement establishes requirements for accounting and
reporting of derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS 133 was updated
by the issuance of SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FAS No. 133" and SFAS No.
138 "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging
Activities - an amendment of FASB statement No. 133" and 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.

         In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements". This was followed by Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
101A,"Implementation Issues Related to SAB 101", in March 2000 and by Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101B, "Second Amendment: Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements" ("SAB 101B"), in June 2000. These bulletins summarize
certain of the SEC's views about applying generally accepted accounting
principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. The impact of SAB
101B on the Company was to delay the implementation date of SAB 101 until the
fourth quarter of fiscal year 2001. The SEC is providing this guidance due, in
part, to the large number of revenue recognition issues that registrants
encounter. The future impact of these bulletins on the Company's results of
operations is not expected to be material.

</TABLE>

THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 2000 AND 1999
-----------------------------------------

         Net sales increased 24.2% to $5.0 billion in the second quarter of
fiscal 2001 compared to $4.0 billion in the second quarter of last year. This
increase is primarily attributable to growth in the Company's U.S. and other
international business through the addition of new customers and gains in market
share, as well as the addition of new product lines and the expansion of
existing product lines in all geographies. The Company's second quarter U.S.,
Europe and other international sales grew 43%, 2% and 23%, respectively,
compared to the second quarter of last year. European sales grew 16% during the
second quarter on a local currency basis over the prior year period. Total
international sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 represented
approximately 42% of consolidated net sales compared with 49% in the prior year.

<PAGE>

THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 2000 AND 1999 - CONTINUED
-----------------------------------------------------

         The cost of products sold as a percentage of net sales was 94.7% in the
current period compared to 94.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2000. The
increase is a result of competitive market conditions, the increase in the
Company's sales mix of lower margin computer systems as a percentage of total
sales and the Company's increased participation in customer outsourcing
activities, which, while maintaining reasonable pre-tax operating margins
through cost and working capital efficiencies, provide for lower gross profit
margins.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 12.8% from
$160.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 to $180.8 million in fiscal
2001, and as a percentage of net sales decreased to 3.6% from 4.0% in the
comparable prior year period. The decline in selling, general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of net sales is attributable to the realization of
greater economies of scale as well as improved operating efficiencies. The
dollar value increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is
attributable to increases in operating expenses needed to support the increased
volume of business.

         As a result of the factors described above, operating income in the
second quarter of fiscal 2001 increased 35.9% to $84.5 million, or 1.7% of net
sales, compared to $62.2 million, or 1.5% of net sales in the second quarter of
fiscal 2000.

         Interest expense increased from $15.6 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 2000 to $21.8 million in the current quarter due to an increase in the
Company's average outstanding indebtedness related to funding for continued
growth and capital expenditures combined with an increase in short-term interest
rates on the Company's floating rate indebtedness.

         The Company reported a net foreign currency exchange gain of $.2
million in the second quarter of fiscal 2001, as compared to a net foreign
currency exchange loss of $.4 million in the comparable quarter last year. This
change is related to fluctuations in the foreign currencies of the various
European countries in which the Company operates.

         The provision for income taxes increased 32.7% to $22.0 million in the
second quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to $16.6 million last year. The increase
is attributable to an increase in the Company's income before income taxes. The
Company's estimated effective tax rate decreased from 36.0% in the second
quarter of fiscal 2000 to 35.0% in the current year due to fluctuations in the
amount of federal, state and foreign taxable income reported in each period. The
Company's effective tax rate for fiscal year 2000 was 36.3%.

         As a result of the factors described above, net income increased 38.6%
to $40.8 million, or $.72 per diluted share, compared to $29.4 million, or $.54
per diluted share, in the prior year comparable period.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 2000 AND 1999
---------------------------------------

         Net sales increased 25.6% to $9.9 billion in the first six months of
fiscal 2001 compared to $7.9 billion in the same period last year. Net income
increased 35.8% to $78.0 million, or $1.40 per diluted share, in the first six
months of fiscal 2001, compared to $57.4 million or $1.07 per diluted share.


         (The underlying reasons for the fluctuations in the results of
operations for the six months ended July 31, 2000 are substantially the same as
in the comparative quarterly discussion above and therefore, will not be
repeated here.)

QUARTERLY DATA - SEASONALITY
----------------------------

         The Company's quarterly operating results have fluctuated significantly
in the past and will likely continue to do so in the future as a result of
seasonal variations in the demand for the products and services offered by the
Company. The Company's narrow operating margins may magnify the impact of these
factors on the Company's operating results. Specific historical seasonal
variations in the Company's operating results have included a reduction of
demand in Europe during the summer months, increased Canadian government
purchasing in the first quarter, and worldwide pre-holiday stocking in the
retail channel during the September-to-November period. In addition, the product
cycle of major products may materially impact the Company's business, financial
condition, or results of operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------

         Net cash used in operating activities of $53.0 million during the first
six months of fiscal 2001 was primarily attributable to income from operations
of $78.0 million, partially offset by changes in accounts receivable,
inventories, prepaid and other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses.

         Net cash used in investing activities of $42.3 million during the first
six months of fiscal 2001 was attributable to the continuing investment of $24.9
million related to the expansion of the Company's management information
systems, office facilities and equipment for its distribution centers combined
with the payment of $15.9 million related to the resolution of additional
contingent purchase price payments associated with the purchase of Computer 2000
in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 and $1.5 million related to other
miscellaneous acquisitions. The Company expects to make capital expenditures of
$100-$125 million during fiscal 2001 to further expand its management
information systems, office facilities and purchase equipment for distribution
centers.

         Net cash provided by financing activities of $148.8 million during the
first six months of fiscal 2001 reflects the net borrowings on the Company's
revolving credit loans of $109.8 million and the proceeds from stock option
exercises (including the related income tax benefit) of $39.0 million.


                                       12
<PAGE>

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - CONTINUED
-------------------------------------------

         The Company maintains a $445 million Revolving Credit Facility with a
syndicate of banks which expires in May 2003. The Company pays interest under
this Revolving Credit Facility at the applicable Eurocurrency rate plus a margin
based on the Company's credit rating. Additionally, the Company maintains a $700
million Receivables Securitization Program with a syndicate of banks expiring in
May 2001. The Company pays interest on the Receivables Securitization Program at
designated commercial paper rates plus an agreed-upon margin. In addition to
these credit facilities, the Company maintains additional lines of credit and
overdraft facilities totaling approximately $500 million. The aforementioned
credit facilities include covenants which must be complied with on a continuous
basis, including the maintenance of certain financial ratios and restrictions on
payment of dividends. The Company is in compliance with all such covenants. 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 2001.

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 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.

         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
---------

         The Company's Year 2000 ("Y2K") compliance project determined the
readiness of the Company's business for the Year 2000. The Company defined Y2K
"compliance" to mean that the computer code will process all defined future
dates properly and give accurate results. The Company has experienced no
problems with its computer systems since the beginning of 2000 but will continue
to monitor the systems to assess whether any problems develop. In addition,
during fiscal 2000 the Company incurred approximately $11.2 million in expenses
related to assessing and remedying any Y2K problems and upgrading computer
systems, but does not expect to incur any additional material expenses related
to Y2K issues going forward.

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 and the
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, and 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 plans 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-denominated 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
rollout of the Euro.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
--------------------------------

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). This statement
establishes requirements for accounting and reporting of derivative instruments
and hedging activities. SFAS 133 was updated by the issuance of SFAS No. 137,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the
Effective Date of FAS No. 133" and SFAS No. 138 "Accounting For Certain
Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activites - an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 133" and 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.

         In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements". This was followed by Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
101A,"Implementation Issues Related to SAB 101", in March 2000 and by Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101B, "Second Amendment: Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements" ("SAB 101B"), in June 2000. These bulletins summarize
certain of the SEC's views about applying generally accepted accounting
principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. The impact of SAB
101B on the Company was to delay the implementation date of SAB 101 until the
fourth quarter of fiscal year 2001. The SEC is providing this guidance due, in
part, to the large number of revenue recognition issues that registrants
encounter. The future impact of these bulletins on the Company's results of
operations is not expected to be material.

COMMENTS ON FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
---------------------------------------

         In connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company, in Exhibit 99A to its
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2000, outlined
cautionary statements and identified important factors that could cause the
Company's actual results to differ materially from those projected in
forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. Such
forward-looking statements, as made within this Form 10-Q, should be considered
in conjunction with the information included within the aforementioned Exhibit
99A.
