31, 1996, and the consolidated results of operations for the three months and
nine months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the consolidated cash flows
for the nine months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 have been made. In
addition, all such adjustments made, in the opinion of management, are of a
normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the periods presented
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
fiscal year.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the interim reporting rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The interim consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements and related notes for the year ended March 31, 1996,
included in the Company's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
NOTE B - BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
On April 2, 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of the
New Zealand business operations of Essentially Group Limited and all of the
outstanding shares of capital stock of Essentially Group (Australia) Limited,
privately held information technology companies in New Zealand and Australia.
The purchase price was $6.3 million, including cash of $5.1 million and the
issuance of 55,363 shares of the Company's common stock. The acquisition has
been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

<PAGE> 8
NOTE B - BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)
The estimated fair values of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and stock
issued in connection with the purchase were $15.8 million, $9.6 million and
$1.2 million, respectively. The excess of the purchase price over the fair
values of the net assets acquired was $5.2 million and is being amortized on
the straight-line method over 20 years. The operating results of the acquired
businesses have been included in the consolidated statements of income from the
date of acquisition. Pro forma operating results, giving effect to the
acquisition as though it had occurred at the beginning of fiscal 1997 or 1996,
are not presented because they do not differ materially from the Company's
actual results.
On May 13, 1996, the Company acquired certain operating assets of the
corporate, government, and educational ("CGE") division of Egghead, Inc.
("Egghead"), a leading supplier of microcomputer software to organizations in
North America, for approximately $45 million in cash. The acquisition has been
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
The estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were
$51 million and $6 million, respectively. The excess of the purchase price over
the fair values of the net assets acquired was $45 million and is being
amortized on the straight-line method over 20 years. The operating results of
the acquired business have been included in the consolidated statements of
income from the date of acquisition. The following unaudited pro forma
information presents summary consolidated results of operations of the Company
and the CGE division as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of
each period presented.

NOTE C - FINANCING ARRANGEMENT WITH BANK
Long-term debt consists of a term bank loan due in quarterly installments
beginning June 30, 1997 through March 31, 2001 ranging from $1.5 million to
$2.25 million. The note bears interest at a variable rate, which averaged
approximately 7.125% for the quarter ended December 31, 1996. The interest rate
is subject to quarterly adjustment, based on certain financial ratios of the
Company.
The financing arrangement also includes a $60 million revolving credit facility
which expires in May 1999. $6.8 million was outstanding under the revolving
credit facility at December 31, 1996. The revolving credit facility bears
interest at prime or LIBOR plus a variable rate, which averaged approximately
7.9% for the quarter ended December 31, 1996.
Until certain financial ratios are maintained for specified periods, borrowings
under the financing arrangement are secured by liens on accounts receivable,
inventory, the pledge of all the Company's shares in Spectrum Integrated
Services, Inc. and the pledge of 66.67% of the Company's shares in its foreign
subsidiaries.

===== ===== ===== =====
</TABLE>
NET SALES:
The Company's revenues are derived primarily from the sale of PC software
products and technology services in North America, Europe and the Asia/Pacific
region. The Company also sells peripheral and hardware products in the
Asia/Pacific region. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 1996,
sales increased by 104% and 95% over sales for the corresponding periods in
1995, reflecting the impact of the Company's acquisitions which occurred in the
first quarter of the current fiscal year.
In April 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
Essentially Group Limited and all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of
Essentially Group (Australia) Limited, information technology companies in the
Asia/Pacific region. The acquisition of Essentially Group provided the Company
with a business presence in the Asia/Pacific market and completes the Company's
global operations strategy which includes maintaining operations centers in
North America, Europe and Asia/Pacific to service the major worldwide desktop
technology markets.
In May 1996, the Company acquired certain operating assets of the corporate,
government and education ("CGE") division of Egghead, Inc., a leading supplier
of PC software products to organizations in North America. With the CGE
acquisition, the Company significantly
10
<PAGE> 11
increased its market presence in North America. For the nine months ended
December 1996 and 1995, the pro forma combined sales of the Company and the CGE
division were $622 and $574 million, respectively.
For the three and nine months ended December 1996, sales of PC software
increased 105% and 94%, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods
in 1995. The Company sells PC software through volume license and maintenance
("VLM") agreements, or right to copy arrangements, and ships full-packaged PC
software products either from its distribution centers or through third party
distributors. The Company serves as a designated service provider for VLM
agreements which are frequently used by customers seeking to standardize
desktop software applications and, consequently, may involve significant
quantities of unit sales for each customer at lower per unit prices than
full-packaged software products. For the three and nine months ended December
31, 1996, sales of software through VLM agreements represented approximately
64% and 57% of net sales as compared to approximately 50% and 45%,
respectively, of net sales for the corresponding periods of the prior year.
For the three and nine months ended December 31, 1996, revenue from technology
services provided by the Company's Technology Services Group increased by more
than 115% as compared to the corresponding periods in 1995. The Company
increased the number of its technology services offices from ten at March 31,
1996, to twenty-five world-wide locations at December 31, 1996. Because
fee-based services revenue has grown from a relatively small base, as compared
to the Company's sales of PC software, fee-based technology services
represented less than 4% of the Company's overall sales while representing
approximately 14% of the Company's gross margin for the nine months ended
December 1996.
The Company believes that any future increases in revenue will depend upon the
Company's ability to maintain and increase its customer base, to continue to
increase its market share, to develop and expand its technology services, and
to capitalize on continued growth in desktop technology markets around the
world.
INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS:
For the three and nine months ended December 31, 1996, sales outside of the
United States totaled $26 million and $76 million, respectively, as compared to
$10 million and $18 million for the corresponding periods of the prior year
when the Company's international operations were limited to the Canadian and
European markets.
For the December 1996 quarter, the Company's operating results were negatively
impacted by a $1.8 million operating loss in Asia/Pacific reflecting slow sales
in the region and expenses associated with increased staffing of the Company's
Technology Services Group in Australia and New Zealand. The Company is
accelerating its plan in the Asia/Pacific region to adjust the business model
there to more closely mirror the lower cost structure in the Company's North
American operations.
11
<PAGE> 12
For the three and nine months ended December 1996, fluctuations in foreign
currencies against the U.S. dollar did not have a material effect on the
Company's financial results.
GROSS MARGIN:
Overall gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 11.2% and 11.6% for the
three and nine months ended December 31, 1996, respectively, as compared to
13.3% and 13.6% for the corresponding periods of the previous year. The decline
in overall gross margin as a percentage of sales, as compared to the previous
year, reflects the decline in gross margin on the sale of PC software,
discussed below, and the change in the Company's sales mix as a result of the
CGE acquisition. Substantially all revenue from former CGE customers was
derived from PC software sales, which have lower gross margins than do the
Company's technology services offerings.
For the three and nine months ended December 31, 1996, gross margin on the sale
of PC software declined to 10% and 10.2%, respectively, as compared to 11.9%
and 12% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1995, respectively.
The decline in PC software gross margin reflects the growth in sales of PC
software through VLM agreements which generally have lower gross margins as
compared to sales of full-packaged software products, and lower levels of
financial incentives from software publishers in the current periods.
For the quarter ended December 1996, sales of PC software through VLM
agreements significantly increased to approximately 64% of net sales, compared
to 50% of net sales in the quarter ended December 1995. As a result, VLM
agreements represented 57% of net sales for the nine months ended December
1996, compared to 45% of net sales in the corresponding period of 1995. The
increased dollar volume of VLM sales in the December 1996 quarter more than
offset the lower margin on these sales to positively impact operating income
dollars in the period.
It is believed that a portion of the increase in sales in the December 1996
quarter likely resulted from higher levels of year-end spending in certain of
the Company's large accounts. The Company anticipates VLM sales as a percentage
of total sales in the March 1997 quarter should decline from the 64% in the
December quarter. The Company believes that gross margin on sales of software
may decline thereafter if the percentage of software product sales by the
Company through VLM agreements continues to increase or if publishers respond
to continued market pressures by reducing financial incentives available to
resellers. The Company believes that this potential decrease in product gross
margins may be partially offset by anticipated increases in revenue from its
technical services which traditionally have had higher gross margins.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES:
Selling, general and administrative expenses include the costs of the Company's
sales and marketing organization and purchasing, distribution and
administration costs. For the three and nine months ended December 1996,
selling, general and administrative expenses, as a
12
<PAGE> 13
percentage of net sales, were 9.4% and 10.4%, respectively, as compared to 9.1%
and 10% for the corresponding periods in 1995. The increase in selling, general
and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales reflects certain
transition costs, including temporary staffing, excess travel and telephone
expenses and costs associated with systems implementation, totaling
approximately $.6 million and $3.7 million, respectively, incurred in the three
and nine months ended December 1996, primarily in connection with the Company's
recent CGE acquisition. Without these identified transition costs, selling,
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales would have been
9.1% and 9.7%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended December 1996.
The Company does not expect to incur any additional significant residual
transition costs from the CGE acquisition.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION:
The increase in depreciation and amortization for the three and nine months
ended December 1996, as compared to the corresponding periods in 1995, reflects
depreciation on current year fixed asset additions and amortization of goodwill
recorded in connection with the Company's recent business acquisitions. Most of
the purchase price for these acquisitions represents goodwill which the Company
began amortizing over a 20-year period in the June 1996 quarter.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE (BENEFIT):
The Company's effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended December
1996 were 45% and 87%, respectively, as compared to 36% and 34% in the
corresponding periods of the prior year. The increase in the effective tax
rates reflects the higher relative tax rates in the United States and Canada
where the Company realized taxable income over the lower rates in Asia/Pacific,
where the Company recorded a tax benefit. The effective tax rates also include
state and local taxes within the United States and provincial taxes in Canada.
LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION:
At December 31, 1996, the Company had approximately $5.4 million in cash and
cash equivalents and had $30 million outstanding under its term loan and $6.8
million outstanding under its $60 million revolving credit line. The term loan
and credit line are initially secured by accounts receivable and inventory and
a pledge of the stock of the Company's domestic and foreign subsidiaries. The
principal amount of the term loan is due in quarterly installments beginning in
June 1997 through March 2001, increasing from $1.5 million to $2.25 million.
The revolving credit line expires in May 1999.
The increase in trade accounts receivable from March 31, 1996 to December 31,
1996, reflects the increase in net sales for the nine months ended December 31,
1996. Terms on the Company's accounts receivable are generally net 30 days from
date of invoice or 10 days in the case of summary periodic billings to
customers. At December 31, 1996 and March 31, 1996, accounts receivable
represented approximately 63 days of historical sales. The Company generally
carries inventory adequate to meet product sales levels for a period of
approximately one month. The increase in inventory as of December 31, 1996,
compared
13
<PAGE> 14
to March 31, 1996, results from the increased sales volume. The increase in
trade accounts payable from March 31, 1996 to December 31, 1996, reflects the
increased levels of accounts receivable and inventories.
For the nine months ended December 1996, the Company used $14.3 million of cash
in its operations compared to $4.2 million of cash provided by operations in
the nine months ended December 1995. The increase in cash used in operations is
primarily due to the increase in accounts receivable.
The increase in furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements at December 31,
1996 reflects approximately $2 million of capital assets included in the recent
business acquisitions and approximately $8.6 million of capital expenditures
related to the Company's installation of computer and telephone systems to
support its recent acquisitions, the ongoing upgrade of its existing computer
and telephone systems, expansion of its Technology Services Group offices, and
relocation and consolidation of its United States distribution facilities to
Louisville, Kentucky.
The Company expects that its cash requirements for the remainder of fiscal 1997
will be satisfied from cash flow from operations and borrowings under its
existing credit facility.
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS:
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations includes certain forward-looking statements of the Company including
statements concerning anticipated operating results, future market trends,
estimates regarding the economy and the software industry in general and key
performance indicators which impact the Company. In developing any
forward-looking statements, the Company makes a number of assumptions including
expectations for continued market growth, anticipated revenue and gross margin
levels, and cost savings and efficiencies. As previously identified, the
Company's ability to manage its growth, improve operational efficiencies and
continue to integrate its recent acquisitions will be key to its success in the
future. Further, the ability of the Company to develop electronic strategies, in
order to effectively lower the cost of business will be a key factor in the
future growth and profitability of the Company. If the industry's or the
Company's performance differs materially from these assumptions or estimates,
Software Spectrum's actual results could vary significantly from the estimated
performance reflected in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly,
forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a prediction of actual
results. The Company's Form 10-K for the March 31, 1996 fiscal year contains
certain additional cautionary statements that describe factors that could cause
the Company's actual results to differ materially from those in the
forward-looking statements in this discussion.
INFLATION:
The Company believes that inflation has not had a material impact on its
operations or liquidity to date.
