                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Participants, Trustee and 
Administrator of the MicroAge, Inc.
Retirement Savings and Employee Stock Ownership Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits
and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the MicroAge, Inc. Retirement Savings and Employee Stock Ownership Plan -
401(k) portion (the "Plan") at November 1, 1998 and November 2, 1997, and the
changes in net assets available for benefits for the period from November 3,
1997 to November 1, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The additional information included in
Schedule I is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements. Further, the Fund Information
presented in Schedules II and III is presented for the purpose of additional
analysis rather than to present the net assets available for benefits and
changes in net assets available for benefits of each fund. Schedules I, II and
III have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the
basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

              RETIREMENT SAVINGS AND EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
                                 401(k) PORTION
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following brief description of the MicroAge,  Inc. (the Company)  Retirement
Savings  and  Employee  Stock  Ownership  Plan - 401(k)  Portion  (the  Plan) is
provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the
Plan document for more complete information.

The Plan includes an employee stock  ownership  feature (the ESOT).  The ESOT is
funded  solely  by  employer   contributions;   no  employee  contributions  are
permitted.  Additionally,  there is a separate  ESOT trust under the Plan.  ESOT
assets will not be commingled with assets  attributable to the 401(k) portion of
the  Retirement  Savings and Employee  Stock  Ownership  Plan. As of November 3,
1998,  the ESOT feature was  terminated.  All the ESOT shares will remain in the
Plan,  with all  participants  becoming  fully vested.  The Plan also includes a
non-qualified  supplemental executive plan, whose assets are not commingled with
those attributable to the 401(k) or ESOT.

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering  substantially all employees of
the Company who have  attained at least 21 years of age and are US citizens.  It
is subject to the provisions of the Employee  Retirement  Income Security Act of
1974 (ERISA) and is administered by the Company.

The Plan was  established to be effective  July 1988.  Employees are eligible to
join the Plan on the first day of the Plan quarter  coincident with or following
the date on which the employee satisfies all of the eligibility requirements.

The Plan year coincides with the Company's  fiscal year which ends on the Sunday
nearest October 31 in each calendar year.

If a participant  is fully vested under the Plan,  the  participant  may make an
election  to invest all or any  portion of his  Employer  Matching  Contribution
account  (consisting of Company stock) in any of the Plan's investment  options.
As of July 1, 1995,  participants  were no longer  permitted to invest new funds
into the Company Stock Fund.

Participants  may  elect  to  contribute  1% to  15%  of  their  total  eligible
compensation  as a  pretax  deferral  in  lieu  of  receiving  such  amounts  as
compensation. For each year in which the Plan is in effect, the Company may make
a matching contribution with respect to a participant's elective deferrals in an
amount to be determined at the sole  discretion of the Company.  The Company has
historically  matched 25% of a  participant's  contribution  up to the first six
percent of the participant's salary contributed to the Plan. The Company's total
contribution  for a Plan year shall not exceed the maximum amount  deductible on
account of the Company's  contribution  for its  corresponding  taxable year for
federal income tax purposes.  A Company matching  contribution,  if any, will be
credited  as of  the  last  day of the  Plan  year  to  the  accounts  of  those
participants  who are  active  participants  on the last day of each Plan  year.
Participants  may change their  allocations  or elections  the first day of each
Plan quarter.

The  participant's  contributions  vest  immediately.   The  Company's  matching
contributions vest based on years of service as follows:

         Years of Service                        Vesting Percentage
         ----------------                        ------------------
         Less than 1                                     0%
         1 but less than 2                              20%
         2 but less than 3                              40%
         3 but less than 4                              60%
         4 but less than 5                              80%
         5 or more                                     100%

If a participant  terminates before the Company's  contribution is fully vested,
the Company can use the forfeited  portion to reduce the Company's  contribution

                                       4
<PAGE>
to the  Plan  for  the  Plan  year  in  which  forfeitures  occur,  or,  if such
forfeitures  exceed the amount of  contribution  for the Plan year,  such excess
shall be treated  as a  contribution  carryover  and  applied  to reduce  future
contributions.

Plan  assets are held in a single  Trust Fund (the  Trust  Fund)  managed by the
Trustee.  Each  participant  elects from  several  investment  options how their
contributions  will be  invested.  The  investment  options  and the  number  of
participants under each option at November 1, 1998 were as follows:

The Company's matching  contributions,  if any, can be made in cash or MicroAge,
Inc.  common  stock.  Cash   contributions   are  invested   according  to  each
participant's investment election.  Contributions of MicroAge, Inc. common stock
remain invested in the Company Stock Fund unless the participant is fully vested
under the plan. If a participant  is fully vested under the plan,  they may make
an election to invest all or any portion of their employer matching contribution
account in any of the Plan's investment options.  For the year ended November 1,
1998, the Company contributed $1,043,620 in MicroAge, Inc.
common stock and made no cash contributions.

Loan  transactions  are treated as a transfer from (to) the  investment  fund to
(from) the  Participant  Notes Fund. Loan terms range from 1-5 years or up to 15
years for the acquisition or construction  of a primary  residence.  Participant
loans are secured by the vested  balance in the  participant's  account and bear
interest at a rate commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined by the
Advisory  Committee.  The interest  rate for current loans  outstanding  is 10.5
percent.  Principal and interest are paid ratably through  semi-monthly  payroll
deductions.

The Plan provides for early withdrawal  (prior to the participant  obtaining age
59 1/2) under certain circumstances.  However, the participant may be subject to
tax penalties under the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code) on
early withdrawals.

The Plan may be amended at any time;  however,  no such  amendment may adversely
affect the rights of the  participants in the Plan with respect to contributions
made prior to the date of the amendment.  Company matching  contributions may be
discontinued  and  participation by the Company in the Plan may be terminated at
any time. Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the

                                       5

right under the Plan to terminate  the Plan subject to the  provisions of ERISA.
In the event the Plan is  terminated,  each  participant  will  receive the full
amount of Plan assets in his account.

Wells Fargo Bank Trust (Wells Fargo Bank) acts as trustee and investment manager
of the Plan. The trustee  maintains  account records of individual  participants
and provides quarterly statements to participants.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

METHOD OF ACCOUNTING

The  Plan  prepares  its  financial  statements  using  the  accrual  method  of
accounting.  Income is  recognized  when earned and expenses  are recorded  when
incurred.

The  Plan's  investments  are  presented  at fair  value.  The fair value of the
Company's  common  stock is based upon the last sales  price as  reported by the
"NASDAQ"/National Market System, on the valuation date.

Security  transactions are recorded on a trade date basis.  Expenses paid by the
Plan  in  connection  with  such  purchases  and  sales  may  include  brokerage
commissions  and taxes.  These  expenses,  if any,  are  included in the cost of
securities purchased and deducted from the proceeds of securities sold. The Plan
paid no brokerage  commissions during the year ended November 1, 1998.  Realized
gains or losses on security  transactions are recorded as the difference between
proceeds received and the revalued cost. Revalued cost represents the fair value
of the  security  at the end of the prior year,  or cost if acquired  during the
year. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis as earned.

PARTICIPANT NOTES RECEIVABLE

A  participant's  investment  funds are reduced and the  Participant  Notes Fund
increased  by  the  loan  amount  granted.   Principal   repayments  reduce  the
Participant  Notes Fund and are reinvested in accordance with the  participant's
instructions.  Interest  collected from participant  loans is also reinvested in
the  participant's  investment  fund and is  presented  as part of interest  and
dividends.

CONTRIBUTIONS

The Company's  contributions to participants are recognized on the accrual basis
in the Plan year to which they relate.

BENEFIT PAYMENTS

Benefit  payments are recorded when paid. In accordance with generally  accepted
accounting principles,  obligations for distributions processed and approved for
payment prior to the Plan's  period-end were not accrued in the Plan's financial
statements. The amount at November 1, 1998, and November 2, 1997 was $58,266 and
$58,278, respectively.

ADMINISTRATIVE AND TRUSTEE EXPENSES

Expenses incurred to administer the Plan are paid directly by the Company.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial  statements in accordance  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amount  of  assets  and  liabilities  at the  date of the
financial statements and the reported amount of additions to and deductions from
net assets during the reporting  period.  Actual results could differ from these
estimates.

NOTE 3 - TAX STATUS OF THE PLAN

The Plan  Administrator  and  Management  of the Company  believe  that the Plan
conforms  with the  requirements  of ERISA.  The  Internal  Revenue  Service has
determined  and informed  the Company by a letter  dated May 28, 1997,  that the
Plan and related trust are designed in accordance  with  applicable  sections of
the Internal  Revenue Code (IRC).  The Plan has been amended since receiving the
determination letter. However, the Plan administrator and the Plan's tax counsel
believe that the Plan is designed and is currently  being operated in compliance
with the applicable  requirements  of the IRC.  Accordingly,  no application has
been made for an updated determination letter.
