                           Report of Independent Auditors

The CompSavings Plan Committee
CompSavings Plan for Employees of CompUSA Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the CompSavings Plan for Employees of CompUSA Inc. as of December 31, 1998
and 1997, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended. 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 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules
of assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1998, and reportable
transactions and nonexempt transactions for the year then ended, are presented
for purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental
schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our 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.

                            December 31, 1998 and 1997



1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following description of the CompSavings Plan for Employees of CompUSA Inc.
(the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the
Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

GENERAL

The Plan was adopted by CompUSA Inc. (the Company) effective January 1, 1995,
for eligible employees of the Company. The Plan is a defined contribution plan
designed to comply with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(ERISA). Merrill Lynch Group Employee Services (the Trustee), formerly known as
MasterWorks, acts as trustee for the Plan pursuant to a trust agreement between
the Trustee and the Company.

ADMINISTRATION

The Plan is administered by the CompSavings Plan Committee appointed by the
Board of Directors of the Company.

PARTICIPATION

Prior to April 1, 1998 employees became eligible to participate in the Plan
after they have reached the age of 21 and have completed 500 hours of service
during the previous six months. Effective April 1, 1998, employees become
eligible to participate on the first day of the calendar quarter following the
first day of employment or upon reaching the age of 21. Eligible employees can
enroll in the Plan on the first day of the next payroll period after meeting the
age requirement. Eligible employees who desire to participate in the Plan must
elect to participate on the form or forms provided by the CompSavings Plan
Committee and authorize the Company to make payroll deductions for contributions
to the Plan.

CONTRIBUTIONS

Each year, participants must contribute at least 1% and may contribute up to 15%
of pretax annual compensation, as defined in the Plan, provided their
contribution for any one year does not exceed the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
maximum dollar limitation which was $10,000 for 1998 and $9,500 for 1997. The
Company contributes 25% of the first 5% of base compensation that a participant
contributes to the Plan (Required Contribution). Additional amounts may be
contributed (Discretionary Contribution) at the

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)

option of the Company's management based on the Company's profitability for the
fiscal year that ends within the plan year. The Company may also make an
additional discretionary contribution (Incentive Contribution) to encourage new
participation in the Plan. To receive an employer contribution, an employee must
be eligible to participate in the plan on the last day of the Plan year and must
have completed at least 1000 hours of service for the plan year. For 1998, the
Company's management did not authorize a Discretionary Contribution or Incentive
Contribution. For 1997, the Company's management authorized a Discretionary
Contribution equal to 25% of the first 5% of base compensation that participants
contributed to the Plan and did not make an Incentive Contribution.

Under the provisions of the Plan, 75% of the Company's Required, Discretionary,
and Incentive Contributions are invested in the CompUSA Stock Fund, with the
remaining 25% paid in cash and invested based on the participants' elections. In
1998, the Company's Required Contribution to the Plan aggregated $1,439,490. In
1997, the Company's Required and Discretionary Contributions to the Plan
aggregated $1,017,615 and $1,017,616, respectively. The Company funded the 1998
and 1997 contributions in March 1999 and February 1998, respectively.

PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions and
allocations of (a) the Company's contributions and (b) Plan earnings.
Allocations of earnings are based upon the ratio of a participant's account
balance to the aggregate of all participant account balances.

Forfeited balances of terminated participants' nonvested accounts may be used to
restore nonvested account balances for employees who are rehired, to pay Plan
fees and expenses, or to reduce Company contributions. Forfeitures aggregated
$251,268 and $353,772 in 1998 and 1997, respectively. These funds are maintained
in a money market account pending expenditure by the Plan in the future. The
money market account invests in interest bearing cash equivalents and is
included in the CompUSA Stock Fund.

VESTING

Participants are immediately vested in their pretax and rollover contributions
plus actual earnings thereon. The Company's contributions allocated to
participants' accounts, plus

the actual earnings thereon, vest to the participants based on years of
continuous service. Participants vest at a rate of 25% per year and are 100%
vested after four years of continuous credited service.

INVESTMENT OPTIONS

Participants may elect the investment of their employee contributions and
Company cash contributions in any of the following investment options:

(a)      Asset Allocation Fund - Invests in a changing mix of stocks, bonds, and
         money market securities.

(b)      Income Accumulation Fund - Invests in a mix of short- and medium-term
         fixed-income securities that produce income for the fund, mostly from
         interest payments.

(c)      Growth Stock Fund - Invests in the stocks of companies that the fund
         manager believes have potential for above-average long-term capital
         appreciation. As of December 18, 1998, investment in the Growth Stock
         Fund was no longer an option for participants. All previous
         contributions to this fund were transferred to other available funds at
         the direction of the participants.

(d)      S&P 500 Stock Fund - Invests in the companies included in the
         Standard & Poor's 500 Index.

(e)      CompUSA Stock Fund - Invests primarily in the stock of CompUSA Inc.
         Participants may not elect to have more than 50% of their employee
         contributions and Company cash contributions invested in this fund.

Additional investment options added in 1998:

(f)      Franklin Mutual Beacon Z - Invests in inexpensive stocks based on asset
         value, mergers, recapitalizations, and spin-offs.

(g)      H&W International Fund - Invests primarily in the stock of companies
         located in multiple countries around the world.

                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)



1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)

(h)      MFS Capital Opportunities A - Invests primarily in moderate-growth
         companies that are attractively valued relative to their growth
         prospects.

(i)      PIMCO Total Return Class A - Invests exclusively in intermediate term
         bonds with ratings of BBB or better.

INCOME TAX STATUS

The Plan has received a determination letter from the IRS dated February 10,
1999, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code (IRC) and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation.
Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the IRC to
maintain its qualification. The CompSavings Plan Committee believes that the
Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC
and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax
exempt.

Because the Plan did not initially meet the tests limiting contributions of
certain highly compensated employees, as defined by the IRC, excess
contributions for 1998 and 1997 were refunded to certain participants, along
with investment earnings on those excess contributions, in accordance with the
Plan agreement. Those amounts are recorded in the accompanying balance sheet as
"Excess contributions payable to participants."

TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

While the Company has not expressed any intent to do so, it may terminate the
Plan at any time. In the event the Plan is terminated, the participants would
become fully vested as to their account balances and the net assets of the Plan
would be distributed to the participants in proportion to their respective
account balances.

WITHDRAWALS

Upon termination of service, a participant may receive a lump-sum payment equal
to his or her vested account balance. Participants who are employees can elect
to withdraw a portion of their Plan account balance, subject to certain
conditions and restrictions.

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)

LOANS

The Plan provides that participants may request a loan from the Plan in an
amount generally not to exceed the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the participant's
vested account balance. The minimum loan amount is $500 and must be repaid,
through payroll deductions, within five years. The interest rate charged on
participant loans is a fixed rate of interest determined by the CompSavings Plan
Committee. The average rate charged on participant loans was 9.1% and 9.4% in
1998 and 1997, respectively.

EXPENSES AND FORFEITURES

The Company pays all administrative fees and expenses related to maintaining the
Plan to the extent such fees and expenses exceed forfeitures. Such expenses were
fully offset by forfeitures in 1998. The amount of such expenses paid by the
Company in 1997 was approximately $21,000. The Company also furnishes the Plan
with administrative and clerical services and use of Company office space and
supplies at no charge. Certain special fees, such as fees for changing
investment fund elections more than four times per year and loan maintenance
fees, are charged to individual participants' accounts.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires the Company to make estimates that affect the
amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION

Plan investments in various investment funds are stated at fair value as
determined by the Trustee based upon the quoted market prices of the underlying
securities comprising the investment funds. Investments in the Company's common
stock are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of
the Plan year. Employee loans receivable are valued at cost which approximates
fair value.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.
Contributions and interest income are recorded on the accrual basis.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

ROLLOVER OF PCS COMPLEAT BALANCES

Effective February 26, 1998, a defined contribution plan sponsored by CompUSA
Direct, formerly PCs Compleat, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was
consolidated with the Company's Plan. As a result, $1,447,562 was transferred to
the Plan representing the net assets available for benefits held by those
employees in the plan sponsored by PCs Compleat.

6. NONEXEMPT TRANSACTION

For two payroll periods during 1998, the Company failed to remit Participant
contributions in a timely manner. This failure constitutes a prohibited
transaction under Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company has
plans to take the corrective actions required.

7. YEAR 2000 (UNAUDITED)

The Company has determined that it will be necessary to take certain steps in
order to ensure that the Plan's information systems are prepared to handle
year 2000 dates. The recordkeeping for the Plan as well as the processing of
participant payroll and the related contributions to the Plan is performed by
third party service providers. As a result, Plan management established
formal communications with its third party service providers to determine
that they have developed plans to address their own year 2000 issues as they
relate to the Plan's operations. All third party service providers have
indicated that they will be year 2000 compliant by June 1999.

However, if the third party service providers for the Plan fail to identify
their year 2000 issues properly, or fail to properly assess, modify, and test
their identified year 2000 issues on a timely basis, the year 2000 issue
could have a material impact on the operations of the Plan. Plan management
has not developed a contingency plan with respect to any year 2000 issues
related to the Plan based upon its communications with third party service
providers and their representations to the Company that their systems will be
year 2000 ready.
