The Board of Directors
InaCom Corp.:
 
    We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of InaCom
Corp. and subsidiaries as listed in the accompanying index. In connection with
our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the
financial statement schedule as listed in the accompanying index. These
consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement
schedule based on our audits.
 
    We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards 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. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
    In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of InaCom Corp.
and subsidiaries at December 27, 1997 and December 28, 1996, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 27, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when
considered in relation to the consolidated financial statements taken as a
whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth
therein.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                   THREE-YEAR PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 27, 1997
         (COLUMNAR DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
 
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
    (A) ORGANIZATION
 
    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of InaCom Corp.
(Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company is a provider of
management technology services which include technology procurement and
distribution of microcomputer systems, workstations, networking and
telecommunications equipment, systems integration, and support services. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
 
    (B) INVENTORIES
 
    Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market
and consist of computer hardware, software, voice and data equipment, and
related materials.
 
    (C) OTHER ASSETS
 
    Other assets include vendor authorization rights and long-term notes
receivable. Vendor authorization rights are being amortized over their
contractual life of ten years.
 
    (D) COST IN EXCESS OF NET ASSETS OF BUSINESS ACQUIRED
 
    The excess of the cost over the fair value of assets of businesses acquired
is being amortized over twenty years. The Company assesses the recoverability of
intangible assets by determining whether the amortization of the asset balance
over its remaining life can be recovered through undiscounted future operating
cash flows of the acquired operation. The amount of goodwill impairment, if any,
is measured based on projected discounted future operating cash flows using a
discount rate reflecting the Company's average cost of funds.
 
    (E) DEPRECIATION
 
    Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective
assets ranging from three to thirty-one years using the straight-line method.
 
    (F) INCOME TAXES
 
    Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future
tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.
 
    (G) EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
    Earnings per share of common stock have been computed on the basis of the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding after giving
effect to equivalent common shares from dilutive stock options and convertible
subordinated debentures. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128
"Earnings Per Share", which revised the calculation and presentation provisions
of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion 15 and related interpretations.
SFAS No. 128, which is effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997,
requires companies to present, both currently and retroactively, basic earnings
per share and diluted earnings per share instead of primary and fully-diluted
earnings per share which was previously required under APB Opinion 15.
Accordingly, earnings per share for all periods presented have been restated to
apply the provisions of SFAS No. 128. Diluted earnings per share includes an
increase to the numerator of $2.3 million in 1997 and $1.1 million in 1996 for
interest expense that would not have

been incurred if the convertible subordinated debentures were converted to
common stock, and the denominator includes an increase to common shares and
equivalents outstanding of 2.7 million shares in 1997, 1.5 million shares in
1996, and 100 thousand shares in 1995, for additional common shares that would
have been outstanding if the convertible subordinated debentures and certain
stock options were exercised. Had the Company reported earnings per share under
the previous APB opinion 15, primary and fully-diluted earnings per share for
the years ending December 1997, 1996, and 1995, would have been $2.40, $1.76,
$1.14 and $2.13, $1.64, $1.14, respectively.
 
    (H) REVENUE AND EXPENSE RECOGNITION
 
    The Company recognizes revenue from product sales upon shipment to the
customer. Revenues from consulting and other services are recognized as the
Company performs the services.
 
    (I) MARKETING DEVELOPMENT FUNDS
 
    Primary vendors of the Company provide various incentives, in cash or credit
against obligations, for promoting and marketing their product offerings. The
funds or credits received are based on the purchases or sales of the vendor's
products and are earned through performance of specific marketing programs or
upon completion of objectives outlined by the vendors. Funds or credits earned
are applied to direct costs or selling, general and administrative expenses
depending on the objectives of the program. Funds or credits from the Company's
primary vendors typically range from 1% to 5% of purchases.
 
    (J) RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
 
    Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to a
concentration of credit risk principally consist of accounts receivable. The
Company sells product to a large number of customers in many different
industries and geographies. To minimize credit concentration risk, the Company
utilizes several financial services organizations, which purchase accounts
receivable, and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial
conditions.
 
    The Company's business is dependent in large measure upon its relationship
with key vendors since a substantial portion of the Company's revenue is derived
from the sales of the products of such key vendors. Termination of, or a
material change to the Company's agreements with these vendors, or a material
decrease in the level of marketing development programs offered by
manufacturers, or an insufficient or interrupted supply of vendors' product
would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.
 
    Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions
relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
 
    (K) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
    The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
accounts payable, and notes payable approximate fair value because of the short
maturity of these instruments. The fair values of the convertible subordinated
debentures are based on the amount of future cash flows associated with each
instrument discounted using the Company's current borrowing rate for similar
debt instruments of comparable maturity. The estimated fair value of the
Company's convertible subordinated debentures at December 27, 1997 and December
28, 1996, approximates book value.

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    The Company occasionally uses derivative financial instruments to limit the
effect of increases in the interest rates on any floating-rate debt. The Company
does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. In
January 1997 and October 1997, the Company entered into two separate one-year
interest rate swap agreements with an unrelated financial institution which
resulted in certain floating-rate interest payment obligations becoming
fixed-rate interest payment obligations at 5.8% and 5.7%, respectively, with an
aggregate notional amount of $100 million per each agreement. As a result of
these swap agreements, interest expense was increased by approximately $260
thousand in 1997. The fair value of the swap agreements as of December 27, 1997
was $9.6 thousand. The January 1997 agreement expired in January 1998.
 
    (L) CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
    For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company
considers cash and temporary cash investments with a maturity of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.
 
    (M) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
    The Company accounts for stock options in accordance with the provisions of
APB Opinion No. 25, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES, and related
interpretations. As such, compensation expense would be recorded on the date of
grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the
exercise price. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized compensation expense
for its options granted in 1997, 1996 and 1995. In 1996, the Company adopted
FASB Statement No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION, which permits
entities to recognize as expense over the vesting period the fair value of all
stock-based awards on the date of grant. FASB Statement No. 123 also allows
entities to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide
pro forma net earnings and earnings per share disclosures for employee stock
option grants made in 1995 and future years as if the fair-value-based method
defined in FASB Statement No. 123 had been applied. The Company has elected to
continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the pro forma
disclosure provisions of FASB Statement No. 123.
 
(2) BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
 
    During 1997, the Company completed several acquisitions. The total
consideration given for the 1997 acquisitions was $39.4 million, which included
$14.9 million in cash and 892,708 shares of common stock, in transactions
accounted for as purchases. The excess purchase price over the estimated fair
value of the net assets acquired was $40.0 million in 1997; the excess is being
amortized using the straight line method over twenty years.
 
    The following unaudited pro forma summary presents the consolidated results
of operations of the Company as if the 1997 acquisitions had occurred on
December 31, 1995:

(2) BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (CONTINUED)
    During 1996, the Company completed several acquisitions. The total
consideration given for the 1996 acquisitions was $30.5 million, which included
$23.4 million in cash and 327,495 shares of common stock, in transactions
accounted for as purchases. The excess purchase price over the estimated fair
value of the net assets acquired was $24.2 million in 1996; the excess is being
amortized using the straight line method over twenty years.
 
    Also during 1996, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding shares
of two network consulting organizations for 272,726 and 90,910 shares of Common
Stock, respectively, in transactions accounted for as a pooling of interests.
The Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 28,
1996, include the fourth fiscal quarter's activity for the acquired businesses.
Prior period financial statements were not restated as the results of operations
would not have been materially different than those previously reported by the
Company. The effect of the immaterial poolings was to increase stockholders'
equity by approximately $643,000.
 
    If the 1996 business combinations had occurred on January 1, 1995, the pro
forma operations of the Company would not have been materially different than
that reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

(5) NOTES PAYABLE AND CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
 
    The Company's primary sources of liquidity are provided through an inventory
and working-capital financing agreement of $550.0 million (increased from $350.0
million as of June 27, 1997), convertible subordinated debentures of $141.5
million, and a revolving credit facility of $40.0 million.
 
    The $550.0 million facility provided by IBM Credit Corp. can be used by the
Company at its discretion, subject to a borrowing base, for its working-capital
needs and IBM Corp. inventory purchases. The inventory and working-capital
financing agreement expires June 29, 1998. On December 27, 1997, $167.6 million
was outstanding under the inventory and working-capital financing agreement, of
which the entire balance is included in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet as non-interest bearing trade accounts payable. There were no outstanding
balances related to the interest-bearing working-capital portion of the
agreement, however, the interest rate would have been 7.6% based on three-month
LIBOR. This inventory and working-capital financing agreement is secured by
inventory and other assets.
 
    The $40.0 million revolving credit facility agreement expires in February
1999. On December 27, 1997, there were no outstanding balances under the
revolving credit facility, however, the interest rate would

have been 7.0% based on three-month LIBOR. The revolving credit facility is
secured by inventory and other assets.
 
    The debt agreements contain certain restrictive covenants, including the
maintenance of minimum levels of working capital, tangible net worth,
limitations on incurring additional indebtedness, and restrictions on the amount
of net loss the Company can incur. Retained earnings on December 27, 1997 would
not be restricted as to payments of cash dividends under the most restrictive
covenants in such agreements. The Company was in compliance with the covenants
contained in the agreements on December 27, 1997.
 
    The $141.5 million of convertible subordinated debentures consist of $86.25
million of 4.5% convertible subordinated debentures and $55.25 million of 6.0%
convertible subordinated debentures. In November 1997, the Company issued $86.25
million of 4.5% convertible subordinated debentures due November 1, 2004. The
1997 debentures are convertible into common stock of the Company at a conversion
rate of 25.235 shares per each $1,000 principal amount of debentures (equivalent
to a conversion price of $39.63 per share), subject to adjustments under certain
circumstances. The 1997 debentures are not redeemable by the Company prior to
November 1, 2001 and thereafter the Company may redeem the debentures at various
premiums to principal amount. The 1997 debentures may also be redeemed at the
option of the holder if there is a Change in Control (as defined in the
indenture) at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued
interest at the date of redemption. The net proceeds from the sale of the 4.5%
debentures were used to repay, in part, indebtedness and fund other capital
requirements.
 
    In June 1996, the Company issued $55.25 million of 6.0% convertible
subordinated debentures due June 15, 2006. The 1996 debentures are convertible
into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $24.00 per share,
subject to adjustments under certain circumstances. The 1996 debentures are not
redeemable by the Company prior to June 16, 2000 and thereafter the Company may
redeem the debentures at various premiums to par. The 1996 debentures may also
be redeemed at the option of the holder if there is a Change in Control (as
defined in the indenture) at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus
accrued interest at the date of redemption. The net proceeds from the sale of
the 6.0% debentures were used to reduce a portion of the outstanding balance of
the working-capital financing agreement which carried an interest rate at the
time of the debenture sale of 7.3%

(6)  ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS
 
    The Company has entered into an agreement to sell $200 million of accounts
receivable, with limited recourse, to an unrelated financial institution. The
agreement was initially entered into in June 1995 with respect to $100 million
of accounts receivable and was amended in January 1997 to sell an additional
$100 million of accounts receivable. New qualifying receivables are sold to the
financial institution as collections reduce previously sold receivables in order
to maintain a balance of $200 million sold receivables. On December 27, 1997,
$46.8 million of additional accounts receivable were designated to offset
potential obligations under limited recourse provisions; however, historical
losses on Company receivables have been substantially less than such additional
amount. On December 27, 1997, the implicit interest rate on the receivable sale
transaction was 6.2%.
 
    The Company also has floor plan agreements to take advantage of vendor
financing programs. The Company has entered into dealer working-capital
financing agreements with several financial services organizations which
purchase, primarily, accounts receivable from the Company. The Company had
contingent liabilities of $2.4 million at December 27, 1997 and $1.8 million at
December 28, 1996 relating to these agreements.
 
(7)  LEASES
 
    The Company operates in leased premises which include the general offices,
warehouse facilities and Company-owned branches. Operating lease terms range
from monthly to ten years and generally provide for renewal options.
 
    Rent expense for operating leases was approximately $17.9 million, $12.0
million and $9.8 million for the three years ended December 27, 1997,
respectively.
 
    Future minimum operating lease obligations for the years 1998 through 2002
are $14.3 million, $13.2 million, $10.5 million, $8.1 million, and $6.3 million,
respectively. It is anticipated that leases will be renewed or replaced as they
expire such that future annual lease obligations will approximate rent expense
for 1997.
 
(8)  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
 
    The Company maintains a qualified savings plan under Section 401(k) of the
Internal Revenue Code (IRC) which covers substantially all full-time employees.
Annual contributions to the qualified plan, based on participant's annual pay,
are made by the Company. Participants may also elect to make contributions to
the plan. Employee contributions are matched by the Company up to limits
prescribed by the IRC. Company contributions to the plan approximated $5.1
million in 1997, $3.3 million in 1996 and $2.4 million in 1995.
 
    The Company maintains a nonqualified savings plan for employees whose
benefits under the qualified savings plans are reduced because of limitations
under Federal tax laws. Contributions made to this plan were not material.

material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

(11)  STOCK OPTION AND AWARD PROGRAMS
 
    The Company has three stock plans approved by the shareholders in 1997, 1994
and 1990, and a nonqualified stock options plan approved by shareholders in
1987. Options granted under the stock plans may be either nonqualified or
incentive stock options. The option price, vesting period and term under the
stock plans and the nonqualified stock option plan are set by the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. The option price may not be
less than the fair market value per share at the time the option is granted. The
vesting period of options granted typically ranges from two to five years, and
the term of any option granted may not exceed ten years. The stock plans also
permit the issuance of restricted or bonus stock awards by the Compensation
Committee. At December 27, 1997, the Company had approximately 789,000 shares
available for issuance pursuant to subsequent grants under the plans.
 
    In addition, the Company awarded 26,750 stock appreciation rights (SARs) to
certain employees in 1997. The SARs which were awarded and are currently
outstanding have a basis of $38.125 and are exercisable on June 30, 1998, and
June 30, 1999. On June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1999, the SARs allow the employees
to receive a cash payment equal to the fair market value on that date less the
basis or adjusted basis of the SARs. The Company recognizes compensation expense
over the term of the SARs based on changes in the fair market value of the
Company's stock.

(11)  STOCK OPTION AND AWARD PROGRAMS (CONTINUED)
    Pro-forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is
required by FASB Statement No. 123 and has been determined as if the Company had
accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of that
Statement. The following weighted-average fair values for these options were
estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with
these weighted-average assumptions for 1997, 1996, and 1995:
 
<TABLE>

                                                                                  1997        1996        1995
                                                                               ----------  ----------  ----------
<S>                                                                            <C>         <C>         <C>
Fair value of options granted during the year................................  $    21.51  $    20.76  $     6.77
Risk-free interest rate......................................................         6.0%        6.1%        5.7%
Expected dividend yield......................................................         0.0%        0.0%        0.0%
Expected volatility factor...................................................        96.9%       92.5%       94.7%
Expected life................................................................   3.5 years   2.5 years   3.7 years
</TABLE>
 
    Since the Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its plans, no
compensation cost has been recognized for its stock options in the consolidated
financial statements. Had the Company recorded compensation cost based on the
fair value at the grant date for its stock options under FASB Statement No 123,
the Company's net earnings for 1997, 1996 and 1995 would have been reduced by
approximately 4.4%, 1.6% and 0.5%, respectively, and the Company's diluted
earnings per share for 1997, 1996 and 1995 would have been reduced by
approximately 4.1%, 1.3% and 0.6%, respectively.
 
    Pro forma net income reflects only options granted in 1997, 1996 and 1995.
Therefore, the full impact of calculating compensation cost for stock options
under FASB Statement No. 123 is not reflected in the pro forma net earnings
amounts presented above, because compensation cost is reflected over the
options' vesting periods for the 1997, 1996 and 1995 options, respectively.
Compensation costs for options granted prior to January 1, 1995 are not
considered.
