                 KENT ELECTRONICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Accounting Policies
The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1995, and the related
consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows for the thirteen and
twenty-six week periods ended September 30, 1995 and October 1, 1994, have been
prepared by the Company without audit.  In the opinion of management, the
financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation.
All adjustments made were of a normal recurring nature.  Interim results are
not necessarily indications of results for a full year.  For further financial
information, refer to the audited financial statements of the Company and notes
thereto for the fiscal year ended April 1, 1995, included in the Company's Form
10-K for that period.

Public Offering
The Company completed a public offering of its common stock on September 27,
1995. The offering totaled 2,000,000 shares and net proceeds to the Company
from the offering were approximately $83,846,000 after deducting the associated
underwriting discount and expenses.  The net proceeds from the offering are
expected to be used for the construction of new facilities, development and
implementation of new information systems, working capital, general corporate
purposes and acquisitions of complementary businesses or assets the Company may
consider from time to time.  These proceeds were placed in temporary
investments and are readily available to meet capital requirements as they
arise.

Sales To Major Customers
For the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 1995, sales to two customers
represented 12.9% and 13.2% of net sales.  Sales to the same two customers
represented 12.6% and 13.0% of net sales for the twenty-six weeks ended
September 30, 1995.  For the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ending
October 1, 1994, one customer represented 11.5% and 11.0% of net sales,
respectively.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Results of Operations
Net sales for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended September 30, 1995
increased $29,855,000, or 49.5%, and $50,913,000, or 43.6%, respectively,
compared to the same periods a year ago.  The sales increase reflected internal
growth primarily from increased demand from existing customers and an expanded
customer base.

Gross profit increased $8,363,000, or 54.2%, for the thirteen weeks and
$13,812,000, or 46.1%, for the twenty-six weeks when compared to the
corresponding periods a year ago.  Gross profit as a percentage of sales
increased to 26.4% from 25.6% for the thirteen week period, and to 26.1% from
25.6% for the twenty-six week period, compared to the same periods last year.
The increase in gross profit was primarily due to increased sales and an
increase in the gross profit percentage resulting from substantial gains in
contract manufacturing sales as a percentage of total sales.  The Company
believes that its profit margins from sales of manufactured products is
generally greater than its profit margin on sales of distributed products.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased $3,723,000, or
35.3% for the thirteen week period and $6,328,000, or 30.7%, for the twenty-six
week period, compared to the same periods in the previous year.  However, as a
percentage of net sales, SG&A declined to 15.8% from 17.5% for the thirteen
weeks and to 16.1% from 17.6% for the twenty-six weeks compared to the same
prior year periods.  The decline as a percentage of sales reflects the
Company's continued focus on cost containment to reduce such expenses as a
percentage of sales.  The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to the
expenses necessary to support the growth in the Company's existing operations.

Other-net consists principally of interest and dividend income generated by
cash, cash equivalents and trading securities.  The increase in interest and
dividend income from both prior year periods was primarily due to higher
interest rates and a reduction of unrealized losses on trading securities.
Also, net proceeds from the public offering generated interest income for the
last three days of the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended September 30,
1995.

The Company's effective tax rate increased due to the increase in operating
income subjecting the Company to a higher graduated federal income tax rate.


                                    8 of 13
<PAGE>   9

Net earnings increased $2,803,000, or 87.2%, and $4,651,000, or 76.9%, for the
thirteen and twenty-six week periods, respectively, compared to the same
periods a year ago.  The improved profitability was primarily due to the
incremental profit associated with the increase in sales volume, the increase
in the gross profit percentage and the Company's continued focus on cost
containment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital at September 30, 1995 was $154,051,000, an increase of
$87,732,000 from April 1, 1995.  The increase was primarily the result of net
proceeds from the recent public offering, as well as accounts receivable and
inventories growing in response to current sales levels.

Included in the Company's working capital at September 30, 1995 are investments
of $109,077,000.  The Company's investment strategy is low-risk and short-term,
keeping the funds readily available to meet capital requirements as they arise
in the normal course of business.  At September 30, 1995, funds were invested
primarily in a reverse repurchase agreement and a managed fund consisting
primarily of taxable, high quality corporate debt instruments. Both are
compatible with the Company's stated investment strategy.

The Company intends to apply its capital resources to expand its business by
establishing or acquiring similar distribution and manufacturing operations in
geographic areas that are attractive to the Company, by acquiring new
facilities and by enlarging or improving existing facilities.  In addition to
the capital required to purchase existing businesses or to fund start-up
operations, the expansion of the Company's operations at both new and existing
locations will require greater levels of capital to finance the purchase of
additional equipment, increased levels of inventory and greater accounts
receivable.

The Company is currently expanding its manufacturing capacity by building a new
facility in Sugar Land, Texas.  Facility construction and equipment will
require capital expenditures of approximately $14 million, of which
approximately $7 million has been spent, with the remainder of the project to
be completed in this fiscal year.  Management believes that current resources,
along with funds generated from operations, should be sufficient to meet its
current capital requirements.
