        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            Three Months
                  Ended September 30, 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 ended September
     30, 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, 1996.
  
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.   Common Stock:
  
     On August 6, 1996, the Company repurchased 200,000 shares of its
     common stock for approximately $1.3 million in an open market
     transaction under a stock buy-back program previously authorized
     by the Board of Directors.
  
D.   Newly Issued Accounting Standards:
  
     In March, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121,
     "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
     Long-Lived Assets to be disposed of, which the Company adopted
     effective July 1, 1996.  SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived
     assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for
     impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that
     the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, with any
     impairment losses being reported in the period on which the
     recognition criteria are first applied based on the fair value of
     the asset.  Long lived assets and certain intangibles to be
     disposed of are required to be reported at the lower of carrying
     amount or fair value less cost to sell.  The initial adoption of
     SFAS No. 121 had no impact on the Company's results of operations
     for the three months ended September 30, 1996.
  
     In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
     SFAS No.123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" which the
     Company adopted effective July 1, 1996.  SFAS No. 123 requires
     expanded disclosures of stock-based compensation arrangements
     with employees and encourages (but does not require) compensation
     cost to be measured based on the fair value of the equity
     instrument awarded.  Companies are permitted, however, to
     continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25, which recognizes
     compensation cost based on the intrinsic value of the equity
     instrument awarded.  The Company will continue to apply APB
     Opinion No. 25 to its stock based compensation awards to
     employees and will disclose the required pro forma effect on net
     income and earnings per share in its 1997 Annual Report. 
     Accordingly, the initial adoption of SFAS No. 123 had no impact
     on the Company's results of operations for the three months
     ended September 30, 1996.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
        AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
  
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
  
Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 Compared to Three Months Ended
September 30, 1995
  
Net sales for the first quarter ended September 30, 1996 increased
45.6% compared to the first quarter ended September 30, 1995.  This
growth resulted primarily from the increase in sales to customers 
in Latin America.  Sales of microcomputers and computer peripheral
products represented approximately 93.7% of the Company's business for
the first quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared to
approximately 91.2% for the first quarter ended September 30, 1995. 
Sales of cellular telephone products accounted for approximately 6.3%
of the business for the first quarter ended September 30, 1996 as
compared to 8.8% for the year-earlier period. 
   
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 5.6% for the first
quarter as compared to 6.0% for the same period in the prior year. 
This decrease is primarily attributable to more competitive pricing
during the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the quarter
ended September 30, 1995.
  
Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of net
sales decreased to 3.6% for the first quarter ended September 30, 1996
compared with 4.3% for the quarter ended September 30, 1995.  This
decrease is due primarily to greater revenue coverage of expenses and
the Company's efforts to contain expense increases.
    
Income tax expense was recorded at an effective annual rate of 38.8%
for the first quarter ended September 30, 1996 and 38.0% for the first
quarter ended September 30, 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 $35,000,000.  The Company
may borrow at the prime rate offered by Wachovia Bank of Georgia,
N.A., 8.25% at September 30, 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, 1998.  At September 30, 1996, the Company had borrowings
of $29,300,000 and irrevocable standby letters of credit of $700,000
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 funds its increases in inventories and
accounts receivable 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 1997.
