                          AND SUBSIDIARY
  
       NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           Nine Months
                  Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995
                           (Unaudited)
  
A.   Interim Financial Statements:
     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements
     of Southern Electronics Corporation and subsidiary (the
     "Company") have been prepared without audit.  In the opinion
     of management, all adjustments (which include only normal
     recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair    
     presentation have been included.  The results of operations
     for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 1996
     are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for
     the full year.
  
     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
     included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
     generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed
     or omitted.  It is suggested that these financial statements
     be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial     
     statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
     Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and
     Exchange Commission for the year ended June 30, 1995.
  
B.   Earnings Per Common Share:
     Earnings per common share have been calculated based on the
     weighted average number of common shares and common share
     equivalents outstanding during each period.
  
C.   Acquisition:
     On December 14, 1995, the Company acquired substantially all
     of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of U.S.
     Computer of North America, Inc., a distributor of
     Hewlett-Packard computer products in Latin America for     
     approximately $2,600,000, including $350,000 in estimated
     expenses, consisting of 275,000 shares of common stock
     valued at $1,375,000 and cash amounting to $1,225,000.
  
     This acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase
     method of accounting.  Goodwill arising from this
     acquisition is being amortized using the straight-line
     method over 30 years.  The operating results of the     
     acquired business are included in the Company's Consolidated
     Statements of Earnings from the date of acquisition.
  
     The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial
     information gives effect to the acquisition as if the
     transaction had occurred as of July 1,1994.  The pro forma
     consolidated information is not necessarily indicative     
     of the results that would have been reported had the
     acquisition occurred on such date, nor is it indicative of
     the Company's future operations.

ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
  
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
  
Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 Compared to Three Months Ended
March 31, 1995
  
Net sales for the third quarter ended March 31, 1996, which
include sales of approximately $15,700,000 attributable to U.S.
Computer of North America, Inc. ("USC") acquired by the Company
on December 14, 1995, increased 16.0% compared to the third
quarter ended March 31, 1995.  Sales of microcomputers and
computer peripheral products represented approximately 93.2% of
the Company's business for the third quarter ended March 31, 1996
as compared to approximately 93.1% for the third quarter ended
March 31, 1995.  Sales of cellular telephone products accounted
for approximately 6.8% of the business for the third quarter
ended March 31, 1996 as compared to 6.9% for the year-earlier
period.
   
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 6.3% for the third
quarter as compared to 6.9% for the same period in the prior
year.  This decrease is primarily attributable to more
competitive pricing during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as
compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1995.  

Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of
net sales decreased to 4.1% for the third quarter ended March 31,
1996 compared with 4.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 1995. 
This decrease is due primarily to greater revenue coverage of
expenses and lower freight costs.  These decreases were partially
offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization expenses 
relating to the Company's new computer system. 
    
Income tax expense was recorded at an effective annual rate of
39.0% and 37.9% respectively for the third quarters ended March
31, 1996 and March 31, 1995.

Nine Months Ended March 31, 1996 Compared to Nine Months Ended
March 31, 1995
  
Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 1996, which include
sales of approximately $16,400,000 attributable to USC, increased
12.5% compared to the nine months ended March 31, 1995.  This
growth resulted primarily from the increase in sales to
value-added resellers and dealers served by the Company and the
USC acquisition.  Sales of microcomputers and computer
peripherals products represented approximately 91.1% of the
Company's business for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 as
compared to approximately 90.7% for the nine months ended  March
31, 1995.  Sales of cellular telephone products accounted for
approximately 8.9% of the business for the nine months ended
March 31, 1996 as compared to 9.3% for the year-earlier period.
  
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 6.4% for the nine
months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to 7.1% for the same
period in the prior year.  This decrease is primarily
attributable to more competitive pricing during the nine  months
ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended March
31, 1995.
  
Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of
net sales decreased to 4.3% for the nine months ended March 31,
1996 compared with 4.8% for the nine months ended March 31, 1995. 
This decrease is due primarily to greater revenue coverage of
expenses, a lower provision for doubtful accounts and lower 
freight costs.  This decrease was partially offset by an increase
in depreciation and amortization expenses relating to the
Company's new computer system.
  
Income tax expense was recorded in the nine months ended March
31, 1996 at an effective annual rate of 38.5% as compared to
37.9% in the nine months ended March 31, 1995. 
  
ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (continued)
  
Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources
  
The Company and its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Southern
Electronics Distributors, Inc. ("SED"), are parties to a
revolving credit loan agreement (the "Revolving Credit
Agreement") with National City Bank, Columbus, Ohio, and 
Wachovia Bank of Georgia, N.A. which provides for an unsecured
line of credit of $30,000,000.  The Company may borrow at the
prime rate offered by Wachovia Bank of Georgia, N.A., 8.25% at
March 31, 1996, or the Company may fix the interest  rate for
periods of 30 to 180 days under various interest rate options. 
The Revolving Credit Agreement requires a commitment fee of 1/4%
of the unused commitment.
  
The Revolving Credit Agreement requires maintenance of certain
minimum working capital and other financial ratios and has
certain dividend restrictions.  This agreement expires on August
31, 1997.  At March 31, 1996, the Company had borrowings of
$15,500,000 and irrevocable standby letters of credit of
$3,500,000 outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement.
  
The Company's liquidity requirements arise primarily from the
funding of working capital needs, including inventories and trade
accounts receivable.  The Company funded its increases in
accounts receivable and inventories with internally  generated
funds and, at times, borrowings under its Revolving Credit
Agreement.
  
Management believes that the Revolving Credit Agreement, together
with vendor lines of credit and internally generated funds, will
be sufficient to satisfy its working capital needs during fiscal
1996.
