NOTE C - LITIGATION

On July 14 through July 19, 1994,  seven class action  complaints  were filed in
the  United  States  District  Court for the  District  of Arizona  against  the
Company,  certain of its officers and directors,  and, in three of the lawsuits,
one of the underwriters of the Company's June 16, 1994 public offering of common
stock.  On December 5, 1994,  the court  consolidated  the seven  actions into a
single  action.  On February 16, 1995,  plaintiffs  filed and served an amended,
consolidated  complaint  against the Company,  certain officers and directors of
the Company, and three of the underwriters of the Company's June 16, 1994 public
offering of common stock ("the Complaint"). The Complaint purports to be brought
on behalf of a class of  purchasers  of the  Company's  common  stock during the
period April 13, 1994 through July 14, 1994. The complaint alleges,  among other
things,  that the Company violated federal  securities laws by making misleading
public statements and omitting material facts regarding the Company's operations
and  financial  results,  which  the  plaintiffs  contend  to have  artificially
inflated  the price of the  Company's  common  stock  during the  alleged  class
period. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages as well as fees and
costs. On April 28, 1995, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the Complaint in
its  entirety.  On March 25,  1996,  the court  dismissed  the  majority  of the
allegations contained in the Complaint. An agreement in principle has since been
reached to settle the  litigation,  subject to reducing the settlement  terms to
writing and obtaining court approval thereof. The Company's  contribution to the
proposed  settlement,  after the  contributions of the Company's  director's and
officer's insurers,  will not be material to the Company's financial position or
results of operations.

NOTE D - STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL  ACCOUNTING  STANDARDS NO. 123 - ACCOUNTING  FOR
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The  accounting  requirements  are  effective for  transactions  entered into in
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The disclosure  requirements are
effective  for  fiscal  years  beginning  after  December  31,  1995.  Pro forma
disclosures required for entities that elect to continue to measure compensation
cost using APB Opinion No. 25 must include the effects of all awards  granted in
fiscal  years that begin after  December 15, 1994.  This  Statement  establishes
financial   accounting  and  reporting   standards  for   stock-based   employee
compensation  plans.  This  Statement  defines  the fair value  based  method of
accounting  for an  employee  stock  option or  similar  equity  instrument  and
encourages  all  entities  to adopt that method of  accounting  for all of their
employee stock compensation plans. However, it also allows an entity to continue
to measure  compensation  cost for those plans using the  intrinsic  value based
method of  accounting  prescribed  by APB Opinion No. 25,  Accounting  for Stock
Issued to Employees.  The Company expects to implement the disclosure provisions
of SFAS 123 for its fiscal year ending November 2, 1997.

Total Revenue.  Total revenue increased $83.6 million, or 11%, to $842.7 million
for the quarter  ended July 28,  1996 as compared to the quarter  ended July 30,
1995.  This  revenue  increase  included a $77.7  million,  or 17%,  increase in
distribution  business  revenue and a $24.2 million,  or 8%, increase in systems
integration business revenue.

Total revenue increased $309.8 million, or 14%, to $2.5 billion for the 39 weeks
ended  July 28,  1996 as  compared  to the 39 weeks  ended July 30,  1995.  This
revenue  increase  included a $230.3 million,  or 18%,  increase in distribution
business revenue and a $138.0 million,  or 16%, increase in systems  integration
business revenue.

The revenue  increase was primarily  due to sales to resellers  added since July
30, 1995, the Company's focus on large account sales,  increased  demand for the
Company's  major  vendors'  products and the  Company's  addition of new product
lines.  The  increase was  partially  offset by a decrease in revenue due to the
sale of the  Company's  memory  distribution  business in the fourth  quarter of
fiscal year 1995.

Gross Profit Percentage.  The Company's gross profit percentage was 5.3% for the
quarter  ended July 28, 1996,  compared to 5.2% for the quarter  ended April 28,
1996 and 5.1% for the quarter ended July 30, 1995.  The gross profit  percentage
was 5.2% for the 39 weeks  ended July 28,  1996 and for the 39 weeks  ended July
30, 1995.

<PAGE>
Future  gross  profit  percentages  may be  affected  by market  pressures,  the
introduction  of new Company  programs,  changes in revenue mix,  the  Company's
utilization of early payment discount opportunities,  vendor pricing actions and
other  competitive and economic  factors.  See also  "Potential  Fluctuations in
Operating Results" below.

Operating  Expenses.  Operating expenses increased $2.6 million to $36.0 million
for the quarter  ended July 28, 1996,  as compared to the quarter ended July 30,
1995.  The $2.6  million  increase was  primarily a result of increased  revenue
between the two periods,  as expenses as a  percentage  of revenue were 4.3% and
4.4% for the quarters ended July 28, 1996 and July 30, 1995, respectively.

Operating expenses increased from $89.7 million, or 4.1% of revenue,  for the 39
weeks ended July 30,  1995 to $105.1  million,  or 4.2% of  revenue,  for the 39
weeks ended July 28, 1996. The primary factor in the $15.4 million  increase was
the  Company's  revenue  increase  between  the two  periods.  If  expenses as a
percentage of revenue had remained constant between the periods,  expenses would
have increased by approximately $13.0 million. The remainder of the increase was
primarily due to increased depreciation and facilities expansion.  The increased
depreciation   resulted  from   expenditures  for  automation   initiatives  and
facilities expansion.

Other  Expenses - Net.  Other  expenses - net  decreased to $2.6 million for the
quarter  ended July 28, 1996 from $3.9  million  for the quarter  ended July 30,
1995.  Other  expenses - net  decreased to $10.1  million for the 39 weeks ended
July 28, 1996 from $11.9  million for the 39 weeks  ended July 30,  1995.  These
decreases were primarily due to a decrease in net financing costs as a result of
lower average borrowings required to finance inventory balances.

If the Company is successful in achieving  revenue  growth,  its working capital
requirements and related financing costs are likely to increase. In addition, if
the  Company  utilizes  early  payment  discount   opportunities  with  vendors,
financing costs and gross profit will increase.

Marketing  Development  Funds.  The Company  receives funds from certain vendors
which are earned through  marketing  programs,  meeting  established  purchasing
objectives or meeting other objectives determined by the vendor. There can be no
assurance  that these  programs will be continued by the vendors.  A substantial
reduction  in the vendor funds  available  to the Company  would have an adverse
effect on the Company's results of operations.

Potential Fluctuations in Operating Results

The Company's  operating results may vary  significantly from quarter to quarter
depending  on certain  factors,  including,  but not limited to,  demand for the
Company's  information  technology products and services,  product availability,
competitive  conditions,  and general economic  conditions.  In particular,  the
Company's  operating  results are sensitive to changes in the mix of product and
service  revenues,  product margins,  inventory  adjustments and interest rates.
Although the Company  attempts to control its expense  levels,  these levels are
based, in part, on anticipated revenues.  Therefore, the Company may not be able
to control spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected  revenue
shortfall. As a result, quarterly period-to-period  comparisons of the Company's
financial  results are not necessarily  meaningful and should not be relied upon
as an indication of future performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has  financed  its growth and cash needs to date  primarily  through
working capital financing facilities,  bank credit lines, common stock offerings
and cash generated from  operations.  The primary uses of cash have been to fund
increases in inventory and accounts  receivable  resulting from increased sales.
If the Company is successful in achieving  revenue  growth,  its working capital
requirements are likely to increase.

In order to  establish  or  solidify  its  presence in  strategic  markets or in
response to  competitive  pressures,  the Company may make  acquisitions  of, or
investments in,  reseller  locations.  These  acquisitions or investments may be
made utilizing cash, stock or a combination of cash and stock.

For the 39 weeks  ended July 28,  1996,  $16.0  million of cash was  provided by
operating  activities.  Net cash provided by operating  activities  included net
income, before certain non-cash items, of $27.3 million, an increase in accounts
payable of $37.4  million,  a  decrease  in  inventory  of $9.5  million  and an
increase  in accrued  liabilities  of $5.4  million,  offset by an  increase  in
accounts receivable of $62.4 million and a decrease in other liabilities of $1.4
million.

The number of days cost of sales in ending  inventory  decreased from 37 days at
October 29, 1995 to 32 days at July 28, 1996.  This  decrease in inventory  days
was  primarily  due to a  focus  on  controlling  inventory  levels  and  supply
constraints from certain of the Company's suppliers. The Company anticipates the
number of days cost of sales in ending inventory will increase but should remain
at or below  historical  levels.  The  number  of days  cost of sales in  ending
accounts payable  remained  constant at 47 days at October 29, 1995 and July 28,
1996. The number of days sales in ending accounts  receivable  increased from 22
days at October  29,  1995 to 26 days at July 28,  1996.  The  receivables  days
adjusted for receivables sold under a financing  facility (see discussion below)
were 40 days at July 28, 1996 compared to 36 days at October 29, 1995.

For the 39 weeks  ended  July 28,  1996,  $15.0  million  was used in  investing
activities  for the  purchase of property  and  equipment,  and net cash of $1.5
million used in financing  activities  consisted primarily of principal payments
on long-term obligations.

The Company  maintains a primary  financing  agreement (the  "Agreement") with a
financing facility of $400 million. The Agreement includes two major components:
an accounts  receivable  facility (the "A/R Facility") and an inventory facility
(the "Inventory Facility"). The Agreement expires in August 1997.

Under the A/R  Facility,  the  Company  has the right to sell  certain  accounts
receivable  from time to time, on a limited  recourse  basis, up to an aggregate
amount of $250 million sold at any given time. At July 28, 1996,  the net amount
of sold accounts receivable was $136 million, and the effective funding rate was
LIBOR plus 1.85%.

The Inventory  Facility  provides for borrowings up to $150 million.  Within the
Inventory  Facility,  the  Company  has a line of  credit  for the  purchase  of
inventory from selected  product  suppliers  ("Inventory Line of Credit") of $50
million  and  a  line  of  credit  for  general  working  capital   requirements
("Supplemental Line of Credit") of $100 million. Payments for products purchased
under the Inventory Line of Credit vary depending upon the product supplier, but
generally  are due  between  45 and 60 days  from  the date of the  advance.  No
interest  or finance  charges  are  payable on the  Inventory  Line of Credit if
payments  are made  when due.  At July 28,  1996,  the  Company  had $8  million
outstanding  under the Inventory Line of Credit (included in accounts payable in
the  accompanying  Balance  Sheet),  and had no  amounts  outstanding  under the
Supplemental Line of Credit.

Of the $400 million of financing  capacity  represented by the  Agreement,  $256
million was unused as of July 28, 1996.  Utilization  of the unused $256 million
is dependent upon the Company's  collateral  availability  at the time the funds
would be needed.
                                       9

Borrowings under the Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company's
assets,  and the Agreement  contains certain  restrictive  covenants,  including
working  capital  and  tangible  net worth  requirements,  and ratios of debt to
tangible net worth and current assets to current liabilities.  At July 28, 1996,
the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

The Company also maintains trade credit  arrangements with its vendors and other
creditors to finance product purchases.  Several major vendors maintain security
interests in their products sold to the Company.

The unavailability of a significant portion of, or the loss of, the Agreement or
trade credit from vendors would have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Inflation

The Company  believes that inflation has generally not had a material  impact on
its operations.

                      MICROAGE, INC. RETIREMENT SAVINGS AND
                          EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

                  THIS AMENDMENT,  made and entered into this 14th day of March,
1996, by MICROAGE,  INC., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to as the
"Employer").

                                   WITNESSETH:

                  WHEREAS,   the  Employer  has   heretofore   entered  into  an
employees'  retirement  savings plan effective July 1, 1988, as amended to add a
stock bonus plan which included an employee  stock  ownership plan effective May
1, 1989, as amended, and the most recent Amendment and Restatement thereof dated
December  30,  1994,  and a First  Amendment  thereto  dated  May 10,  1995 (the
"Plan"); and

                  WHEREAS,  the  Employer  has  reserved the right to amend said
Plan in whole or in part; and

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and
mutual covenants hereinafter contained, the Employer and Trustee hereby agree as
follows:

                  1. Section 2.27(i) of the Plan is hereby amended by adding the
following:

                  "This Plan uses the Total Payment Release Rule."

                  2.  Section  2.47 of the Plan is hereby  amended by adding the
following thereto:

                  "If release is determined with reference to principal payments
         only, the following three additional rules apply:

                           (a) The loan must  provide  for  annual  payments  of
         principal  and interest at a cumulative  rate that is not less rapid at
         any time than level annual payments of such amounts for 10 years.

                           (b) Interest  included in any payment is  disregarded
         only to the extent that it would be  determined  to be  interest  under
         standard loan amortization tables.

                           (c) Exempt Loan status  will not be  applicable  from
         the time that, by reason of a renewal,  extension, or refinancing,  the
         sum of the expired duration of the Exempt Loan, the renewal period, the
         extension  period,  and the  duration of a new Exempt  Loan  exceeds 10
         years."

                  3. Section 2.66 of the Plan is hereby amended to add the
<PAGE>
following:

                  "Notwithstanding  anything  in the  Plan  to the  contrary,  a
         Participant  shall  be  credited  with two full  Years of  Service  for
         purposes of vesting  provided that he completes at least 1,000 Hours of
         Service in the  vesting  computation  period  under the Plan before the
         Plan Year changed and also during the first vesting  computation period
         established  after the Plan Year  changed  which shall begin before the
         last  day of the  preceding  vesting  computation  period,  i.e.,  if a
         Participant completes at least 1,000 Hours of Service during the twelve
         month period  beginning  July 1, 1994 and ending June 30, 1995 and also
         during the new twelve  month  period  beginning  October  30,  1994 and
         ending October 29, 1995, he shall be credited with two Years of Service
         for vesting purposes."

                  4 .  Section  4.02 of the Plan is  hereby  amended  to add the
following thereto:

                  "(iv) In the event of a distribution  of Excess  Contributions
         to a  Participant  to meet  the ADP  test,  any  Matching  Contribution
         allocated  to such  Participant  which was based on Elective  Deferrals
         prior to their  being  distributed  as an Excess  Contribution  will be
         forfeited"

                  5.  Section  4.02(c)(ii)(A)  of the Plan is hereby  amended by
adding the following thereto:

                           "(7)     An  Elective  Deferral  will be  taken  into
                                    account   under  the  ADP  test  of  Section
                                    401(k)(3)(A)  of the  Code  for a Plan  Year
                                    only  if it  relates  to  Compensation  that
                                    either  would  have  been  received  by  the
                                    Employee  in the  Plan  Year  (but  for  the
                                    deferral  election)  or is  attributable  to
                                    services  performed  by the  Employee in the
                                    Plan Year and would  have been  received  by
                                    the  Employee  within 2-1/2 months after the
                                    close of the Plan Year (but for the deferral
                                    election).

                           (8)      An  Elective  Deferral  will be  taken  into
                                    account  under  the ADP test for a Plan Year
                                    only if it is  allocated  to the Employee as
                                    of a date  within  that Plan Year.  For this
                                    purpose,  an Elective Deferral is considered
                                    allocated as of a date within a Plan Year if
                                    the   allocation   is  not   contingent   on
                                    participation  or  performance  of  services
                                    after such date and the Elective Deferral is
                                    actually  paid to the Trust no later than 12
                                    months after the Plan Year to which
<PAGE>
                                    the Elective Deferral relates.

                           (9)      The  allocations  under the ESOP  portion of
                                    the   Plan   may   not  be   combined   with
                                    allocations  under the  non-ESOP  portion of
                                    the   Plan   in   order   to   satisfy   the
                                    requirements of Code Section 401(k)."

                  6.  Section  4.04(b) of the Plan is hereby  amended to add the
following thereto:

                  "(ix) The  allocations  under the ESOP portion of the Plan may
         not be combined with allocations under the non-ESOP portion of the Plan
         in order to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 401(m)."

                  7. Section 4.04(b)(ii) is amended in its entirety as follows:

                           "(ii)    In the event  that this Plan  satisfies  the
                                    requirements   of  Sections   401(a)(4)  and
                                    410(b) of the Code only if  aggregated  with
                                    one or more other  plans,  or if one or more
                                    other  plans  satisfy  the  requirements  of
                                    Sections  401(a)(4)  and  410(b) of the Code
                                    only if aggregated with this Plan, then this
                                    Section shall be applied by determining  the
                                    Contribution  Percentage  of Employees as if
                                    all such plans were a single Plan.  For Plan
                                    Years  beginning  after  December  31, 1989,
                                    plans may be  aggregated in order to satisfy
                                    Section 401(m) of the Code only if they have
                                    the same  Plan  Year  and if the  aggregated
                                    Plans also  satisfy  Section  401(a)(4)  and
                                    410(b)  of the Code as  though  they  were a
                                    single plan."

                  3 8.  Section  4.04(d)  of the Plan is  amended  by adding the
following thereto:

                  "(iv)  The  amount  of Excess  Aggregate  Contributions  to be
         distributed to a Highly Compensated  Employee shall be determined using
         the same  leveling  method  described  in Section  4.02(d)(iii)  of the
         Plan."

                  9. Section 4.09(d) of the Plan is amended to read as follows:

                  "(d) For  purposes of this  Section,  the term  'Compensation'
         shall have the  meaning  defined in  Section  5.07(a)(iii)  of the Plan
