(1)       Basis of Presentation
          ---------------------
The consolidated financial statement information included herein is unaudited
but, in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments, consisting of
normal recurring adjustments and changes in accounting estimates, necessary for
a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.  These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended January 28, 1995.

(2)      Acquisition of Business 
         -----------------------
On August 17, 1995, the Company acquired The Future Now, Inc. ("FNOW").  The
Company issued 2,952,282 shares of its Common Stock in exchange for all of
the remaining shares (approximately 69%) of FNOW Common Stock not previously 
owned by the Company.  The aggregate purchase price including acquisition-
related costs approximated $36.5 million.  The acquisition was accounted for 
using the purchase method and, accordingly, the operating results of FNOW  
have been included in the consolidated operating results since the
date of acquisition.  The preliminary allocation of the purchase price 
to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows:

         Accounts receivable                                     $    95,599 
         Inventory                                                    36,365

         Other long-term assets                                        8,742 
         Short-term debt                                             (50,564)
         Accounts payable                                           (126,558)
         Accrued liabilities, including acquisition-related
           accruals                                                  (29,898)

         Other long-term liabilities                                  (1,374)
                                                                  -----------
                                                                  $    36,534 
                                                                  ===========

Unaudited pro forma results of operations of the Company for the three and nine
months ended October 28, 1995 and October 29, 1994, assuming the FNOW
acquisition was consummated on January 30, 1994, are as follows:

Pro forma financial information presented above is not necessarily indicative
of the results of operations that would have occurred had the acquisition taken
place at the beginning of the period presented or of future results of
operations of the combined companies. 

(3)       Credit Facilities
          -----------------
In September 1995, the Company's $170 million financing agreement with a finance
company was increased to $270 million.  In October 1995, this financing
agreement was amended to reclassify $75 million as a term loan with an
expiration date of February 3, 1997 and an interest rate of prime plus 1.875%. 
This term loan is reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as long-term debt.

As of October 28, 1995, the Company was not in compliance with certain financial
ratio covenants under two of its inventory financing agreements.  The Company
has obtained waivers of such non-compliance.

(4)       Common Stock Dividends
          ----------------------
On October 26, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a $0.10 per
share cash dividend to shareholders of record on November 15, 1995, which was
paid on December 1, 1995. 

On September 1, 1995, the Company paid the $0.10 per share cash dividend which
was declared on July 27, 1995.

On October 27, 1994, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a $0.10 per
share cash dividend to shareholders of record on November 15, 1994, which was
paid on December 1, 1994. 

On September 1, 1994, the Company paid the $0.10 per share cash dividend which
was declared on July 28, 1994.

(5)       Supplemental Cash Flow Information
          ----------------------------------
During the quarter ended October 28, 1885, the Company issued 2,952,282 shares
of its Common Stock aggregating approximately $36,534 for the acquisition of
FNOW.

Cash payments during the nine-month periods ended October 28, 1995 and October
29, 1994 included interest of $2,046 and $1,019, respectively, and income taxes
of $2,633 and $19,910, respectively.  

(6)      Contingencies
         -------------
In December 1994, several purported class action lawsuits were filed in the
United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (Civil
Action Nos. 94-3753, 94-CV-7410, 94-CV-7388 and 94-CV-7405) against the Company
and certain directors and officers; these lawsuits have been consolidated with
a class action lawsuit filed several years ago against the Company, certain
directors and officers, and the Company's auditors in the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (Civil Action No. 92-CV-1905).
A purported derivative lawsuit was also filed in December 1994 in the Court of
Common Pleas of Philadelphia County (No. 803) against the Company and certain
of its directors and officers.  These lawsuits allege violations of certain
disclosure and related provisions of the federal securities laws and breach of
fiduciary duties, including allegations relating to the Company's practices
regarding vendor marketing funds, and seeks damages in unspecified amounts as
well as other monetary and equitable relief.  In addition, the Company is
subject to a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation.  The Company
believes that all such allegations and lawsuits are without merit and intends
to defend against them vigorously.  While management of the Company, based on
its investigation of these matters and consultations with counsel, believes
resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position, the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot
presently be determined.

In addition, the Company is involved in various litigation and arbitration
matters in the ordinary course of business.  The Company believes that it has
meritorious defenses in and is vigorously defending against all such matters.

During fiscal 1994, based in part of the advice of legal counsel, the Company
established a reserve of $9 million in respect of all litigation and arbitration
matters, some of which has been used to pay legal fees and settle various claims
and suits during fiscal 1995.  Although the aggregate amount of the claims may
exceed the amount of the reserve, management believes that the resolution of
these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations in any subsequent period.


Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Revenues increased 14% to $944 million for the quarter ended October 28, 1995
compared to $831 million for the quarter ended October 29, 1994.  For the nine
months ended October 28, 1995, revenues increased to $2.7 billion compared to
$2.4 billion for the nine months ended October 29, 1994.  These increases were
primarily due to the revenues generated by the Company's branch locations which
were acquired in December 1994 and the acquisition of FNOW in August 1995, the
addition of new members to the network and industry growth.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the quarter ended October 28, 1995
increased to 5.1% compared to 3.1% for the quarter ended October 29, 1994.  This
increase was due primarily to the higher gross margin percent realized by the
FNOW locations which sell directly to end-users and a $5 million inventory-
related charge taken in the quarter ended October 29, 1994 compared to a $2
million inventory-related charge in the quarter ended October 28, 1995, offset
in part by competitive pricing pressures.  For the nine months ended October 29,
1995, gross margin increased to 4.3% from 4.1% when compared to the same period
last year.  During the nine months ended October 28, 1995, the Company recorded
inventory-related charges totaling approximately $12 million.  These charges
reflected current estimates of inventory obsolescence, damaged merchandise and 
inventory losses.
  
Management has taken and continues to take actions which it believes will
minimize the inventory-related charges in the future, including consolidating
warehouses and upgrading existing and implementing new management information
systems.  These actions have mitigated and are expected to continue to mitigate
the systems stresses and outages and their impact on gross margins that the
Company experienced during the last half of fiscal 1994.  Competitive pressures
and their impact on margins are expected to continue in the future.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $55.4 million and
$112.5 million for the quarter and nine months ended October 28, 1995,
respectively, from $29.3 million and $63.1 million, respectively, for the
comparable periods last year.  During the quarter ended October 28, 1995, the
Company incurred charges of approximately $15 million consisting primarily of
severance costs in connection with a reduction in the Company's workforce and
a charge related to certain management information systems projects reevaluated
and realigned following its acquisition of FNOW.  Other causes of the increase
in selling, general and administrative expenses include: operating costs for the
FNOW locations; costs to service the higher volume of revenues, larger network,
new programs and expanded vendor and SKU base; and expenses and depreciation
relative to the enhancement of existing and implementation of new management
information systems.  These increases were offset in part by savings following
the elimination of certain peripheral ventures in the quarter ended October 29,
1994. 

It is anticipated that the workforce reductions and other cost cutting measures
implemented by the Company will somewhat mitigate the higher selling, general
and administrative costs required to support the activities of FNOW.

Investment and other income (expense) decreased for both the quarter and nine
months ended October 28, 1995 compared to the same periods last year.  These
decreases can be primarily attributable to the use of available cash for the
payment of cash dividends and share repurchases, the acquisition of certain
assets of branch locations from FNOW in December 1994, capital expenditures and
the repayment of FNOW's bank and finance company debt following the acquisition
in August 1995.  Interest expense increased for the quarter and nine months
ended October 28, 1995 compared to the comparable periods last year primarily
as a result of the Company's more frequent use of its available financing
arrangements for working capital purposes.    

The Company's effective tax rate increased to 32.7% for the quarter ended
October 28, 1995 compared to 30.2% for the quarter ended October 29, 1994.  This
increase is primarily due to a change in the Company's effective state tax rate.
For the nine months ended October 28, 1995, the effective tax rate decreased to
12.6% compared to 39.0%.  This decrease resulted primarily from the effect of
non-deductible goodwill on the pre-tax loss, offset by a change in the Company's
effective state tax rate.

For the quarter and nine months ended October 28, 1995, the Company recognized
losses of $5.7 million and $9.1 million, respectively, as its proportionate
share of FNOW's net loss, compared to losses of $0.3 million and $8.9 million
for the comparable periods last year. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company has financed its growth to date from stock offerings, bank and
subordinated borrowings, inventory financing and internally generated funds. 
The principal uses of its cash have been to fund its accounts receivable and
inventory, make acquisitions, repurchase Common Stock and pay cash dividends. 

During the nine months ended October 28, 1995, the Company's operating
activities used $34 million in cash primarily resulting from the repayment of
vendor financing related to FNOW's operations.  At October 28, 1995, the Company
had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaling $32.6 million
($77.3 million at January 28, 1995).  Working capital totaled $30.0 million at
October 28, 1995 compared to $31.9 million at January 28, 1995.  The increase
in accounts receivable from January 28, 1995 is primarily due to the acquisition
of FNOW in August 1995.  The Company expects accounts receivable to continue to
increase as it extends credit to its network and end-users and as a result of
the acquisition of FNOW.  The Company may outsource some of its financing
programs, which could slow the growth or reduce the level of accounts
receivable.  The Company has a $270 million ($75 million of which is a term loan
due on February 3, 1997) financing agreement with a finance company.  At October
28, 1995, the Company had approximately $56 million available under this
facility after considering the borrowing base formula and trade payables
outstanding to a vendor related to the finance company.  

During the quarter ended October 28, 1995, the Company paid the quarterly
dividend of $0.10 per share which was declared on July 27, 1995.  On October 26,
1995, the Company's Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.10 per share
to shareholders of record on November 15, 1995, which was paid on December 1,
1995.

The Company's Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase, in open-market
transactions, of up to 13.6 million shares of its Common Stock.  As of October
28, 1995, the Company had repurchased approximately 8.3 million shares at a cost
of approximately $105.7 million.  Approximately 3 million of the repurchased
shares were issued as part of the acquisition of FNOW.

IE 2000, a strategy designed to transform the Company to a process-driven model,
is expected to be completed by the end of fiscal 1996 and is estimated to
cost up to $40 million, primarily due to upgrades in its management information
systems, of which approximately $26 million was expended through October 28,
1995, including capitalized costs of approximately $15 million.  

Based on the Company's current level of operations, capital expenditure
requirements and the integration of FNOW's operations following the acquisition,
management believes that the Company's cash and marketable securities,
internally-generated funds and available financing arrangements and
opportunities will be sufficient to meet the Company's cash requirements for the
current fiscal year and at least through the end of fiscal 1996.
  
Inflation and Seasonality
- -------------------------
The Company believes that inflation has not had a material impact on its
operations or liquidity to date.  The Company's financial performance does not
exhibit significant seasonality, although certain computer product lines have
displayed a seasonal pattern with peaks occurring near the end of the calendar
year.  <PAGE>

Corporation ("IBM Credit").

                                 RECITALS:

     A.  Dealers and IBM Credit have entered into that certain Addendum to
Agreement for Wholesale Financing dated as of January 29, 1992, and the

                                 AGREEMENT

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements provided for
below and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

Section 1.  Definitions.  All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein
shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Existing Agreement.

Section 2.  Modifications to the Existing Agreement.  The following
modifications are made to the Existing Agreement, and shall be effective as
of the date of the Term Loan (as defined herein) unless specified otherwise. 
The date of the Term Loan shall be the date of this Amendment ( the "Loan
Date").

                                Page 1 of 5

     (A) The FPP is hereby amended by deleting the Exhibit A thereto in its
entirety and substituting, in lieu thereof, the Exhibit A attached hereto.

     (B) Paragraph 6 of the Letter Agreement dated January 25, 1994 between
IBM Credit, IE, et. al. (the "Letter Agreement"), which Letter Agreement
amended the then current Addendum to Agreement for Wholesale Financing and
the then current Addendum to Addendum to Agreement for Wholesale Financing -
Flexible Payment Plan, is hereby amended by inserting immediately following
subparagraph (a) of such paragraph the following new subparagraphs (b) and
(c):

     "(b) Term Loan.

          An advance shall be made hereunder to Dealers on the Loan Date in
          the principal amount of $75,000,000.00 (the "Term Loan") the
          proceeds of which shall be used to repay $75,000,000.00 of WCO
          Advances owed to IBM Credit hereunder.  The Term Loan shall
          constitute a single advance and shall be in the form of a WCO
          Advance.  Except as set forth in this subparagraph, the Term Loan
          shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions applicable to
          other WCO Advances.  Notwithstanding any other term or provision of
          this Agreement applicable to WCO Advances, provided no Event of
          Default has occurred and is continuing: (i) the Term Loan shall
          accrue a finance charge each month equal to the product of the Term
          Loan Rate, as defined herein, multiplied by the average daily
          balance of the outstanding Term Loan for the applicable period,
          (ii) the principal amount of the Term Loan shall be due and payable
          the earlier of (x) the date that the Existing Agreement is
          terminated and (y) February 3, 1997 (the "Loan End Date"), (iii)
          subject to the following sentence, in the event that Dealers repay
          any portion of the principal amount of the Term Loan before the
          Loan End Date, Dealers shall pay to IBM Credit along with such
          repayment a pre-payment fee of $50,000 ("Pre-Payment Fee"), (iv) if
          on any date the principal balance of the Term Loan exceeds the Term
          Loan Maximum Amount, the Term Loan shall be prepaid on such date in
          an amount equal to such excess, and (v) repayments of the Term Loan
          may not be reborrowed.  Provided, however, if Dealers repay such
          Term Loan pursuant to subsection (c) below, such Pre-Payment Fee
          shall be waived by IBM Credit.  For purposes of this subparagraph,
          "Term Loan Rate" shall be the greater of (x) Prime Rate plus 1.875%
          and (y) the Base Rate plus 1.0%."  For purposes of this
          subparagraph Term Loan Maximum Amount shall mean 80% of Eligible
          Accounts."

     "(c) Capital Infusions.

          At any time prior to the Loan End Date, if Dealers receive proceeds
          from an equity investment, debt issue or a capital infusion from
          any source, 100% of such proceeds shall be immediately paid to IBM
          Credit.  Such proceeds shall be applied to reduce the principal
          outstanding on the Term Loan."

                                Page 2 of 5

     (C) Notwithstanding anything in the Existing Agreement, Dealers' total
outstanding indebtedness to IBM Credit shall not exceed the Qualifying
Collateral.

Section 3.  Loan Fee.  Dealers agree to pay to IBM Credit a fee of $25,000
promptly after the Loan Date.

result of Dealers failure to comply with its financial covenants to IBM
Credit.  Except to the extent specifically waived herein neither this
Amendment, any of IBM Credit's actions or IBM Credit's failure to act shall
be deemed to be a waiver of any such rights or remedies.

Section 7.  Ratification of Agreement.  Except as specifically amended
hereby, all the provisions of the Existing Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect.  Dealers hereby ratify, confirm and agree that the Existing
Agreement, as amended hereby, represents a valid and enforceable obligation
of Dealers, and is not subject to any claims, offsets or defenses.
