                                      PART I
      ITEM 1. BUSINESS

           Pomeroy Computer Resources, Inc. (the Company) is a Delaware
           Corporation  organized  in  February  1992  to  consolidate  and
           reorganize  predecessor  companies.    All  of  the  predecessor
           companies were  controlled by  David B.  Pomeroy, the  Company's
           Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer.

           The Company offers a  broad range of microcomputers  and related
           products and provides  a comprehensive selection  of integration
           and  support  services  including  network  and  system  design,
           equipment   selection   and    procurement,   complex    network
           configuration, integration,  Internet  and  electronic  commerce
           services,  depot  repair,  on-site  maintenance,   staffing  and
           network management. The  Company provides products  and services
           to large and medium sized commercial, health care, governmental,
           financial and educational customers.

           An important component of the Company's operating strategy is to
           offer its customers  a wide range  of microcomputer  systems and
           related  products  and  software  at  competitive   prices.  The
           principal components  of  the  microcomputer  systems  generally
           supplied by  the  Company include  microprocessor-based  central
           processing units,  peripheral devices  such  as video  displays,
           keyboards,  additional  storage  units,  printers  and  software
           packages.

           The Company  offers  microcomputer  products from  an  array  of
           manufacturers including  Compaq,  Hewlett-Packard, IBM,  Lexmark
           and Toshiba. The  Company sells these  products together  with a
           broad selection of networking, integration and software products
           from  manufacturers   including  3Com,   Bay  Networks,   Intel,
           Microsoft, and Novell.  Services provided  by the Company  allow
           customers to outsource the selection,  installation, integration
           and maintenance of their microcomputer systems.

           The Company is an authorized dealer or reseller for the products
           of over 35 major vendors.  The Company believes that  its access
           to major vendors enables it to offer a wide range of products to
           meet the  diverse requirements  of its  customers. However,  the
           increasing demand for microcomputers has resulted in significant
           product supply shortages from time to time because manufacturers
           have been  unable to  produce sufficient  quantities of  certain
           products to meet demand. The Company has in the past and expects
           in the  future to  experience some  difficulty  in obtaining  an
           adequate supply of  products from  its major  vendors which  has
           resulted, and may  continue to result,  in delays  in completing
           sales. These delays  have not  had, and are  not anticipated  to
           have, a  material adverse  effect on  the  Company's results  of
           operations, although failure  to obtain adequate  product supply
           could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
           operations.

           The Company has  entered into dealer  agreements with  its major
           vendors/manufacturers. These agreements are typically subject to
           periodic  renewal   and   to   termination  on   short   notice.
           Substantially all  of  the Company's  dealer  agreements may  be
           terminated by  the  vendor without  cause  upon  30 to  90  days
           advance notice, or  immediately upon  the occurrence of  certain
           events. A  vendor  could  also terminate  an  authorized  dealer
           agreement for reasons  unrelated to  the Company's  performance.
           Although the Company has never lost a major vendor/manufacturer,
           the loss of such a  vendor/product line or the  deterioration of
           the Company's relationship with such a vendor/manufacturer would
           have a material adverse effect on the Company.
<PAGE>

           The Company's sales  are generated primarily  by its  208 person
           direct sales force  and sales  support personnel  located in  15
           regional offices in Kentucky, Iowa, Tennessee, Florida, Alabama,
           Indiana, North  Carolina  and  South Carolina.    The  Company's
           business strategy is  to provide its  customers with  a complete
           package of advanced microcomputer products, high  level services
           and  support,  including   designing  and   installing  systems,
           training system users,  maintaining and  repairing hardware  and
           software and brokering used equipment. The Company believes that
           its ability  to  combine  competitive pricing  of  microcomputer
           hardware and related  products with higher  margin sophisticated
           services and support allows it to compete  effectively against a
           variety  of  alternative  microcomputer  distribution  channels,
           including  independent  dealers,  superstores,  mail  order  and
           direct sales by manufacturers.  With the majority  of businesses
           considering  how  to  "rightsize",  the  Company  is  using  its
           resources to assist customers in the appropriate decision-making
           and project implementation.

           Most  microcomputer  products  are  sold  pursuant  to  purchase
           orders. For  larger procurements,  the Company  will enter  into
           written contracts  with  customers.  These  contracts  typically
           establish prices for certain equipment and  services and require
           short delivery dates for  equipment and services ordered  by the
           customer.  These  contracts  do  not  require  the  customer  to
           purchase microcomputer products or services exclusively from the
           Company and may be terminated without cause upon 30  to 90 days'
           notice. Most contracts are for a term of 12 to 24 months and, in
           order to be  renewed, may  require submission  of a  new bid  in
           response to the customer's  request for proposal. As  of January
           5, 1997,  the  Company  had  been  awarded  contracts  which  it
           estimates will  result in  an aggregate  of approximately  $71.3
           million of net sales and revenues after January 5, 1997. Of this
           amount, the Company  estimates that $35.5  million of  net sales
           and revenues will be generated  during fiscal year 1997  and the
           remainder will be generated after  the end of fiscal  year 1997.
           The estimates of management could be materially less than stated
           as a result of factors which would cause one or more of these
           customers to order less product or services than is anticipated. 
           Such factors include that the customer finds another supplier for 
           the desired products at a lower price or on better terms, the 
           internal business needs of the customer change causing the customer
           to require less or different products and services, or a significant
           change in technology or other industry conditions occurs which
           alters the customer's needs or timing of purchases. An estimate of
           the value of contracts awarded as of a comparable date in the
           preceding fiscal year is not available.

           For fiscal years 1994,  1995 and 1996, sales  of microcomputers,
           peripheral  products,  supplies   and  software   accounted  for
           approximately 90.1%,  91.5%  and  91.2%,  respectively,  of  the
           consolidated  net  sales  and  revenues  of   the  Company.  The
           Company's revenues from its service and  support activities have
           also grown over the last  several years. For fiscal  years 1994,
           1995 and 1996, revenues from service and support activities were
           approximately $13.4 million,  $17.9 million  and $27.4  million,
           respectively, and  accounted for  approximately  9.3%, 7.8%  and
           8.2%, respectively, of the  consolidated net sales  and revenues
           of the Company.


           Competition

           The  microcomputer  products  and  services  market   is  highly
           competitive. Distribution has evolved from manufacturers selling
           through  direct  sales  forces  to  sales  by  manufacturers  to
           aggregators (wholesalers), resellers and  value-added resellers.
           Competition, in particular the pressure on pricing, has resulted
           in industry consolidation. In response to continuing competitive
           pressures, including  specific price  pressure  from the  direct
           telemarketing  and   mail  order   distribution  channels,   the
           microcomputer  distribution  channel  is   currently  undergoing
           segmentation into value-added  resellers who  emphasize advanced
           systems together with service and support for business networks,
           as  compared  to   computer  "superstores,"  who   offer  retail
           purchasers a relatively  low cost,  low service alternative  and
           direct-mail suppliers which offer low cost  and limited service.
           Certain superstores  have expanded  their  marketing efforts  to
           target segments of the Company's customer base, which could have
           a material  adverse  impact  on  the  Company's  operations  and
           financial results.

           While price is an important competitive factor  in the Company's
           business, the Company  believes that  its sales are  principally
           dependent upon its service, technical expertise,  reputation and
           experience.  The  Company's   principal  competitive   strengths
           include: (i)  quality  assurance;  (ii)  service  and  technical
           support; (iii)  lower pricing  of  products through  alternative
           distribution  sources;  (iv)  prompt  delivery  of  products  to
           customers; and (v) creative financing alternatives.

           The Company  competes  for product  sales  directly with  local,
           national  and  international  distributors  and   resellers.  In
           addition, the Company competes with  microcomputer manufacturers
           that sell their  product through their  own direct  sales forces
           and to distributors.  Although the  Company believes its  prices
           and delivery terms  are competitive,  certain competitors  offer
           more aggressive hardware pricing to their customers.

           Employees

           As of January 5, 1997,  the Company had 923  full-time employees
           consisting of the following: 470 service and technical personnel
           including   115    systems   engineers;    110   direct    sales
           representatives and 98  sales support  personnel; 29  management
           personnel; and  216 administrative  and distribution  personnel.
           The Company has no collective bargaining agreements and believes
           its relations with its employees are good.

           Backlog

           The Company  does not  have a  significant  backlog of  business
           since it normally  delivers and  installs products purchased  by
           its  customers  within   10  days  from   the  date   of  order.
           Accordingly, backlog is not  material to the  Company's business
           or indicative of  future sales. From  time to time,  the Company
           experiences difficulty  in  obtaining  products from  its  major
           vendors as a result of general industry conditions. These delays
           have not had, and they are  not anticipated to have,  a material
           adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.
           Patents and Trademarks

           The  Company  owns  no  trademarks  or   patents.  Although  the
           Company's various dealer agreements  do not generally  allow the
           Company to use the trademarks  and trade names of  these various
           manufacturers, the agreements do permit the Company  to refer to
           itself as  an  "authorized  dealer"  of the  products  of  those
           manufacturers and to  use their trademarks  and trade  names for
           marketing purposes.  The  Company  considers the  use  of  these
           trademarks and  trade  names  in  its marketing  efforts  to  be
           important to its business.

           Acquisitions

           Acquisitions have  contributed  significantly to  the  Company's
           growth. The Company believes that acquisitions are one method of
           increasing its presence in existing markets,  expanding into new
           geographic  markets,  adding   experienced  service   personnel,
           gaining new  product  offerings  and  services,  obtaining  more
           competitive pricing as a result of  increased purchasing volumes
           of particular  products  and  improving  operating  efficiencies
           through economies  of scale.  In recent  years,  there has  been
           consolidation among  providers  of  microcomputer  products  and
           services and the Company  believes that this  consolidation will
           continue, which, in  turn, may present  additional opportunities
           for the  Company  to  grow  through  acquisitions.  The  Company
           continually seeks to identify and evaluate potential acquisition
           candidates. The  Company  is  currently engaged  in  preliminary
           discussions with potential  acquisition candidates,  including a
           signed letter of intent with a small network service provider in
           Indiana. Although it has no binding commitments  to acquire such
           candidates, management believes that the Company may acquire one
           or more of these candidates in the future.

           During  fiscal   year   1996,   the  Company   completed   three
           acquisitions.  The   following  is   a   description  of   these
           acquisitions.

              TCSS.  In March 1996, the Company acquired  certain assets of
           The Computer Supply Store, Inc.  (TCSS), a computer reseller
           based in Des Moines, Iowa, whose primary  geographic market area
           is  central  Iowa.  The   operations  acquired  from   TCSS  now
           constitute the  Company's  Des  Moines branch  office.  The  Des
           Moines branch provides a  broad range of  microcomputer products
           and related professional services  to a variety of  business and
           other   organizations.   The   purchase   price   consisted   of
           approximately  $4.5  million   in  cash,   $2.7  million  in   a
           subordinated note,  the assumption  of  certain liabilities  and
           150,000 unregistered shares  of Common  Stock. In addition,  the
           Company entered  into  5-year  employment  agreements  with  key
           employees of TCSS.

               TCSS'  service revenues  have historically  accounted for  a
           smaller percentage  of  total revenues  than  the percentage  of
           service revenues of the  Company, thus affording the  Company an
           opportunity to provide additional value-added services  to TCSS'
           customers. As  of January  5, 1997,  the Des  Moines branch  had
           approximately 134 service contracts in effect. As  of January 5,
           1997, the Des Moines branch  had more than 4,800  customers, the
           largest  of  which  included  Principal  Mutual  Life  Insurance
           Company, Pioneer HiBred  International, Norwest  Mortgage, Inc.,
           Iowa Medical Center and Blue Cross/ Blue Shield of Iowa. As part
           of its growth  strategy, the  Company recently  opened a  branch
           office in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and intends to  expand its presence
           to the entire state of Iowa.

                AA MICROSYSTEMS.    In August  1996,  the Company  acquired
           certain assets  of  AA  Microsystems,  Inc.  (AA  Micro),  a
           network service provider  located in  Birmingham, Alabama.  This
           acquisition enabled the Company to expand the  operations of its
           existing branch office  in Birmingham  and increase the  number,
           and  enhance  the  expertise,  of  its   technical  and  service
           personnel. The purchase price consisted of $67 thousand in cash,
           a $200 thousand note payable, and 19,974  unregistered shares of
           Common Stock. In addition, the Company has entered  into a three
           year employment contract with the former president.

              DILAN.  In October 1996, the Company  acquired certain assets
           of  Communications  Technology,  Inc.   (DILAN),  a  network
           integrator headquartered  in  Hickory, North  Carolina.  Through
           this acquisition, the Company  expanded into the  North Carolina
           and  South  Carolina  markets,  added  Internet  and  electronic
           commerce  services  capabilities  and  enhanced   its  technical
           expertise,  in  particular  WAN  services  and  complex  network
           integration. Historically, DILAN's  business focused  on network
           integration  products  and   services  with  limited   sales  of
           microcomputers. The Company believes there exists an opportunity
           to expand sales of desktop  and laptop PCs and  related products
           to DILAN's current customer base  as well as other  companies in
           DILAN's markets. The  purchase price consisted  of approximately
           $2.6 million in cash, a  $1.1 million subordinated note  and the
           assumption of $5.5 million of liabilities. The purchase price is
           subject to adjustment based on DILAN's operating  income for the
           fiscal year ending March 31, 1997. The Company  has entered into
           a three year  employment agreement with  one employee and  a one
           year employment agreement  with another  employee, both of  whom
           were key employees of DILAN.

      ITEM 2. Properties

           The  Company's  principal  executive  offices  and  distribution
           facility  are  located   in  Hebron,   Kentucky,  comprised   of
           approximately  36,000   and  91,000   square   feet  of   space,
           respectively.  These   facilities   are  leased   from   Pomeroy
           Investments, LLC (Pomeroy Investments), a  Kentucky limited
           liability company  controlled  by David  B.  Pomeroy, II,  Chief
           Executive Officer of  the Company, under  a ten  year triple-net
           lease agreement which expires  in May 2006. The  lease agreement
           provides for 2 five year renewal options. The Company intends to
           expand the distribution facility in 1997 to include  a new depot
           repair  facility.  Pomeroy   Investments  intends   to  finance,
           purchase  and  own  the  land  and   improvements  necessary  to
           accommodate the  new  depot repair  facility.  The Company  will
           lease the additional space from Pomeroy Investments at an annual
           lease rate no less favorable to the Company than can be obtained
           from unaffiliated third parties.

           The Company  also  has noncancelable  operating  leases for  its
           regional offices,  expiring at  various dates  between 1997  and
           2006. The  Company  believes  there  will be  no  difficulty  in
           negotiating the  renewal of  its real  property  leases as  they
           expire or in finding other satisfactory space. In the opinion of
           management, the properties are in good condition  and repair and
           are adequate for  the particular operations  for which  they are
           used. The Company does not own any real property.

      ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings

           There are various legal actions arising in the  normal course of
           business that have been brought against  the Company. Management
           believes these matters will  not have a material  adverse effect
           on the Company's consolidated  financial position or  results of
           operations.

      ITEM 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

              None

           dividend effected  on May  22, 1995  and  a three-for-two  stock
           split in the  form of a  stock dividend  effected on  October 4,
           1996.

           As of March  24, 1997, there were  approximately 223  holders of
           record of the Company's common stock.

           Dividends

           The  Company  has   not  paid  any   cash  dividends  since   its
           organization and the completion  of its initial public  offering.
           The Company has no plans to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable
           future, and the payment of such dividends are precluded under the
           Company's  current borrowing agreement.

      (1) On December 30, 1992, the Company changed its fiscal  year from a
      52- or 53-week period ending on the first Saturday following December
      31 to a 12-month period ending January 5.
      (2) During fiscal 1992, the Company acquired the outstanding stock of
      C&N Corp. and discontinued its retail operations.
      (3) During fiscal 1994 the Company acquired the  outstanding stock of
      Xenas Communications  Corp.  See Note  12  of Notes  to  Consolidated
      Financial Statements.
      (4) In March 1996 and October  1996, the Company acquired  the assets
      of  TCSS  and  DILAN,  respectively.  See  Note  12     of  Notes  to
      Consolidated Financial Statements.
      (5) Fiscal year 1996  reflects the Vanstar litigation  settlement and
      related costs of $4,392. Without  this charge, net income  would have
      been $8,832 and fully  diluted net income  per share would  have been
      $1.62.
      (6) Net income per share from continuing operations and pro forma per
      share amounts are calculated using pro forma  weighted average shares
      outstanding adjusted for the three-for-two stock split in the form of
      a stock dividend effective on October 4, 1996.
      (7) The pro  forma data  compares the  net operating  results of  the

      Item 7.
                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      FISCAL YEAR 1996 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 1995

          Net Sales and Revenues.  Total net sales and revenues increased
      $105.7 million, or  45.8%, to  $336.4 million  in fiscal  1996 from
      $230.7 million in  fiscal 1995.  This increase was  attributable to
      the acquisitions of The  Computer Supply Store, Inc.  (TCSS) and
      Communications Technology, Inc. ( DILAN ), and increased sales to 
      existing and  new  customers.  After  eliminating  (i) fiscal  1995
      revenues relating  to  the Kingsport,  Tennessee  branch  which was
      closed in September 1995,  and The Procter &  Gamble Company, which
      ceased to  purchase  products  and  services  from the  Company  in
      September 1995, (ii) fiscal  1996 revenues from  the acquisition of
      TCSS which  was  acquired  in  March  1996  and (iii)  fiscal  1996
      revenues from  the  acquisition  of  DILAN  which was  acquired  in
      October 1996, total net sales and revenues increased 27.1%.

          Sales of  equipment and  supplies  increased $95.6  million,  or
      45.3%, to  $306.7 million  in fiscal  1996  from $211.1  million in
      fiscal 1995.  After elimination  of the  revenues described  above,
      sales of equipment  and supplies increased  25.1%. Service revenues
      increased $9.5 million, or  52.8%, to $27.4 million  in fiscal 1996
      from $17.9  million  in  fiscal  1995.   After  elimination  of  the
      revenues described above, service revenues increased 50.4%.

          Gross Profit.   Gross profit  margin was  16.2% in  fiscal 1996
      compared to  14.5%  in  fiscal 1995.   This increase  was  primarily
      attributable to  a  lesser  number  of  lower margin,  high  volume
      equipment roll-outs,  larger  vendor rebates  and  the  increase in
      higher margin  service  revenues.  Vendor  rebates  increased  $3.7
      million, or 78.9%, to $8.4 million in fiscal 1996 from $4.7 million
      in fiscal 1995. Provided  there are no changes  in rebate programs,
      the level of  vendor rebates  is expected  to continue  into fiscal
      1997 as  volume  purchases  with  major  manufacturers continue  to
      increase.

          Operating  Expenses.    Selling,   general  and  administrative
      expenses (also including  rent expense  and provision  for doubtful
      accounts) expressed as a percentage of total net sales and revenues
      increased to 10.5% in fiscal 1996 from  10.1% for fiscal 1995.  This
      increase is  primarily attributable  to the  addition  of technical
      personnel as  a  result  of the  growth  of  the Company's  service
      business. As the personnel reach full  productivity, their costs as
      a percentage  of services  revenues  are expected  to  decrease. In
      addition, market development  funds, which reduce  selling, general
      and administrative expenses, have declined as a percentage of total
      net sales  and revenues  during fiscal  1996 to  1.0% from  1.3% in
      fiscal 1995  primarily as  a result  of  vendors shifting  funds to
      rebates.  Total operating  expenses  expressed as  a  percentage  of
      total net sales and revenues increased to 11.2% in fiscal 1996 from
      10.5% in fiscal  1995  due to  the reduction  of market  development
      funds  and  the  increase  in  depreciation   related  to  the  new
      headquarters  and  distribution  facilities   and  amortization  of
      goodwill related to the acquisitions of TCSS and DILAN.

          Income from Operations.  Income from  operations increased $7.6
      million, or  81.7 %,  to $16.9  million  in fiscal  1996  from $9.3
      million in fiscal 1995. The Company's operating margin increased to
      5.0% in fiscal 1996  from 4.0% in fiscal  1995 because the increase
      in gross margin more than offset the increase in operating expenses
      as a percentage of total net sales and revenues.

          Interest Expense.  Total  interest expense was  $2.2 million in
      fiscal 1996 compared with $2.0 million in fiscal 1995.

          Income Taxes.   The Company's effective  tax rate  was 40.8% in
      fiscal 1996 compared to 40.6% in fiscal 1995.

          Litigation Settlement and Related Costs.  On April 29, 1996, the
      Company agreed to a settlement of  the litigation with Vanstar. The
      settlement of  $3.3  million consisted  of  a payment  made  by the
      Company to Vanstar  of $1.65  million in cash  and a  $1.65 million
      note which was  paid on August  27, 1996. The  settlement agreement
      also provided  for  mutual forgiveness  of  any and  all  claims or
      obligations of  the  parties,  resulting  in  a write-off  of  $0.5
      million of receivables from Vanstar and additional expenses of $0.5
      million for costs related to the litigation.

          Net Income.  Net income increased $1.8 million, or 42.7%, to $6.2
      million in fiscal 1996 from $4.4 million in fiscal 1995.  The
      increase was a result of the factors described above. Excluding the
      impact of the Vanstar settlement, net income in fiscal 1996 would
      have been $8.8 million, an increase of 102.2% over the comparable
      period in 1995.
<PAGE>
      FISCAL YEAR 1995 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 1994

          Net Sales and Revenues.  Total net sales and revenues increased
      $86.1 million,  or 59.6%,  to $230.7  million  in fiscal  1995 from
      $144.6 million in fiscal 1994. Of the increase, approximately $82.3
      million  resulted  from  increased  sales  to  existing  customers,
      including $35.6 million  from one  customer and $18.4  million from
      two roll-out projects. The remainder of the increase, $3.8 million,
      was  attributable  to  the  opening  of  a  new  branch  office  in
      Birmingham, Alabama in January  1995, and the  acquisition of Xenas
      in November 1994.

          Sales of  equipment and  supplies  increased $80.9  million,  or
      62.1%, to  $211.2 million  in fiscal  1995  from $130.3  million in
      fiscal 1994. Of the increase,  approximately $77.5 million resulted
      from internal  growth  and  $3.4 million  was  attributable  to the
      opening of the new branch and  acquisition described above. Service
      revenues increased  $4.5 million,  or  33.8%, to  $17.9  million in
      fiscal 1995 from  $13.4 million in  fiscal 1994. Of  this increase,
      approximately $0.2 million resulted from the opening of the Alabama
      branch, with the  remainder due to  internal growth. As  part of an
      overall  strategy  to  gain  market  share  in  1995,  the  Company
      increased its hardware sales by more  aggressively bidding on large
      volume projects which resulted in an  increase in the proportion of
      equipment sales to total net sales and revenues in 1995 as compared
      to 1994.

          During the  third quarter  of 1995,  the Company  experienced  a
      decline in its sales  of equipment to The  Procter & Gamble Company
      (  P&G  ).  P&G  discontinued  using  the  Company  as  its  primary
      computer equipment supplier  as part of  P&G's program to  select a
      single international  supplier.  The Company  continues  to provide
      minimal equipment to  P&G as  well as certain  outsourcing services
      pursuant to  an arrangement  with the  international  supplier. The
      future impact on the  Company of the  loss of P&G  as a significant
      customer  is  uncertain.  Additionally,   the  Company  closed  its
      Kingsport, Tennessee  location  in  an  effort  to  focus  on  more
      profitable business opportunities.

          Gross Profit.   Gross profit  margin was  14.5% in  fiscal 1995
      compared to 16.4% in fiscal 1994. This decrease was attributable to
      a  combination  of  strong  price   competition  and  large  volume
      equipment  roll-outs  which  increased   the  proportion  of  total
      revenues derived  from  relatively  lower  gross  margin  sales  of
      product as  compared  to relatively  higher  gross  margin revenues
      derived from services.

          Operating  Expenses.    Selling,   general  and  administrative
      expenses (also including  rent expense  and provision  for doubtful
      accounts) expressed as a percentage of total net sales and revenues
      declined to 10.1% in  fiscal 1995 from 11.9%  for fiscal 1994. This
      was attributable to the large volume increase  in sales in 1995 and
      continued emphasis on expense control.  Another contributing factor
      was the implementation  of a new  MIS system which  has allowed the
      Company to reduce  overhead costs as  a percentage of  sales. Total
      operating expenses expressed as a percentage of total net sales and
      revenues declined to 10.5% in fiscal 1995 from 12.5% in fiscal 1994
      as the increase  in these  costs slowed relative  to the  growth in
      total net sales and revenues.

          Income from Operations.  Income from  operations increased $3.7
      million, or  67.1  %, to  $9.3  million in  fiscal  1995  from $5.6
      million  in  fiscal  1994.  The   Company's  operating  margin  was
      essentially unchanged in 1995 as compared to 1994 as the decline in
      gross margin was offset by a decline in total operating expenses as
      a percent of total net sales and revenues.

          Interest Expense.  Total  interest expense was  $2.0 million in
      fiscal 1995 compared with $1.0 million in fiscal 1994. The increase
      was attributable to  higher average  levels of debt  outstanding on
      the bank line of  credit and the floor  plan financing arrangements
      during fiscal 1995 as compared to fiscal  1994. At January 5, 1996,
      the amounts outstanding on the  bank line of credit  and floor plan
      lines of credit were $16.9 million and $17.7 million, respectively.
      The additional  levels  of financing  were  necessary primarily  to
      support the increased  levels of accounts  receivable and inventory
      needed to finance the  higher sales and revenues.  In addition, the
      weighted average interest rate on bank borrowings increased to 8.7%
      in fiscal 1995 compared with 7.1% in fiscal 1994, because of higher
      interest rates in the first quarter of 1995.

          Income Taxes.   The Company's effective  tax rate  was 40.6% in
      fiscal 1995 compared to 40.5% in fiscal 1994.

         Net Income.  Net  income increased  $1.6 million, or  59.3%, to
      $4.4 million in fiscal 1995 from $2.7 million  in fiscal 1994.  The
      increase was a result of the factors described above.
<PAGE>
                         Liquidity and Capital Resources

          Cash used in  operating activities  was $4.9  million in  fiscal
      1996. Cash used in  investing activities included  $9.9 million for
      acquisitions  and  $3.5  million  for  capital  expenditures.  Cash
      provided by  financing  activities included  $17.9  million  of net
      proceeds from a stock  offering, $6.4 million of  net proceeds from
      bank notes  payable  ,  $1.8 million  from  the  exercise of  stock
      options and  less  $1.3  million  of  repayments on  various  notes
      payable.

          A significant part of the  Company's inventories is financed  by
      floor plan  arrangements with  third parties.  At January  5, 1997,
      these lines  of  credit  totaled  $37.0  million,  including  $12.0
      million with IBM Credit Corporation (  ICC ) and $25.0 million with
      Deutsche Financial  Services  (  DFS ). Borrowings  under  the  ICC
      floor plan arrangement are  made on sixty day  notes, with one-half
      of the note  amount due  in thirty days.  Borrowings under  the DFS
      floor plan  arrangement  are made  on  thirty day  notes.  All such
      borrowings are secured by the related  inventory. Financing on many
      of the  arrangements  which  are  subsidized  by  manufacturers  is
      interest free. The average  rate on the plans  overall is less than
      2.0%. The Company  classifies amounts  outstanding under  the floor
      plan arrangements as accounts payable.

          The Company's financing of  receivables is provided through  its
      Credit Facility,  which permits  the Company  to  borrow up  to the
      lesser of  $25.0  million or  an  amount based  upon  a  formula of
      eligible trade receivables. The Credit  Facility carries a variable
      interest rate  based  on  (i)  Star  Bank's  prime  rate  less  the
      Incentive Pricing Spread or  (ii) LIBOR plus  the Incentive Pricing
      Spread, at the Company's election. The  Incentive Pricing Spread is
      adjusted quarterly. At January 5, 1997,  the amount outstanding was
      $24.1 million of  which $14.1  million was at  an interest  rate of
      7.5%, and $10.0 million was  at an interest rate  of 7.25% based on
      LIBOR rates.  The  Credit Facility  expires  in April  1997  and is
      collateralized by substantially all  of the assets  of the Company,
      except those  assets  that  collateralize  certain other  financing
      arrangements. Under the terms  of the Credit  Facility, the Company
      is prohibited  from paying  any cash  dividends  and is  subject to
      various restrictive covenants.

          The Company completed a secondary  public offering of its  stock
      on  February   28,  1997.   Net  proceeds   to  the   Company  were
      approximately $23.2  million  from  the  issuance  of 1.02  million
      shares of common  stock. The proceeds  were used to  reduce amounts
      outstanding under its line of credit.

          The Company believes that the net proceeds from the  above noted
      offering,  anticipated  cash  flow   from  operations  and  current
      financing arrangements will be sufficient  to satisfy the Company's
      capital requirements for the next  twelve months. Historically, the
      Company has  financed  acquisitions using  a  combination  of cash,
      shares of  its  Common  Stock  and  seller financing.  The  Company
      anticipates that  any future  acquisitions  will be  financed  in a
      similar manner.

          The Company moved to a new distribution facility in January 1996
      and new executive offices  in May 1996. The  Company has executed a
      ten year  triple-net  lease  agreement  for  these facilities  with
      Pomeroy  Investments,  LLC,  which  is   controlled  by  the  Chief
      Executive Officer of  the Company. The  base rental for  1996 on an
      annualized basis  is $583  thousand.  In conjunction  with  the new
      facilities, the Company has been approved  for state tax credits of
      approximately $4.0 million over  10 years by  the Kentucky Economic
      Development Finance Authority.

                 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

           To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
           Pomeroy Computer Resources, Inc.

           We have audited the accompanying consolidated  balance sheets
           of Pomeroy Computer Resources, Inc. as of January 5, 1996 and
           1997, and  the  related  consolidated statements  of  income,
           equity, and cash  flows for each  of the  three years  in the
           period ended January 5, 1997. These  financial statements are
           the  responsibility   of   the  Company'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  consolidated   financial  statements
           referred to above present  fairly, in all  material respects,
           the  consolidated  financial  position  of  Pomeroy  Computer
           Resources,  Inc.  at  January  5,  1996  and  1997,  and  the
           consolidated results of  its operations and  its consolidated
           cash flows for each  of the three  years in the  period ended
           January  5,  1997  in  conformity  with   generally  accepted
           accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

      FISCAL YEARS ENDED JANUARY 5, 1995, JANUARY 5, 1996 AND JANUARY 5, 1997

           1.   Company Description

               On February 13, 1992, Pomeroy Computer Resources, Inc. was
               formed and on April 2, 1992 was merged with  eight related
               businesses ("predecessor  businesses")  (collectively  the
               "Company"), five of which owned and operated franchises of
               ComputerLand  Corporation  ("ComputerLand")  in  Ohio  and
               Kentucky. The Company  has 10 million  shares of $.01  par
               value common  stock authorized,  with 6.5  million  shares
               outstanding. The  Company is  also authorized  to issue  2
               million shares of  $.01 par value  preferred stock.  Since
               the owner of  the Company and  the predecessor  businesses
               were the same, this transaction constituted  a combination
               of the predecessor businesses under common control and was
               accounted for at  historical cost in  a manner similar  to
               that followed  for a  pooling  of interests.  The  Company
               purchased C&N  Corp.  ("C&N")  in fiscal  1992  and  Xenas
               Communications Corp. ( Xenas) in fiscal 1994  (see Note
               12). In  fiscal 1995  the  Company formed  a  wholly-owned
               subsidiary,  Pomeroy   Computer  Leasing   Company,   Inc.

           2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

               Principles   of   Consolidation   -   The    accompanying
               consolidated financial statements include the accounts  of
               the Company and  its wholly-owned  subsidiaries Xenas  and
               PCL.   All   significant    intercompany   accounts    and
               transactions  have  been   eliminated  in   consolidation.
               Certain reclassifications  have  been  made  to  the  1995
               financial statements included herein  to conform with  the
               presentation used in 1996.

               Fiscal Year - The  Company's fiscal  year is a  12- month
               period ending January 5.  References to fiscal 1994,  1995
               and 1996 are for the fiscal  years ended January 5,  1995,
               January 5, 1996 and January 5, 1997, respectively.

               Goodwill  and  Other  Intangible  Assets  -  Goodwill  is
               amortized using the straight-line  method over periods  of
               fifteen to twenty-five years. In accordance with  SFAS No.
               121,  "Accounting  for  The   Impairment  of   Long-Lived
               Assets",  the Company evaluates its goodwill on an ongoing
               basis to determine potential impairment  by comparing the
               carrying value  to  the  undiscounted  estimated expected
               future cash flows of the related assets. Other intangible
               assets are amortized using  the straight-line method  over
               periods up to ten years.

               Equipment and  Leasehold  Improvements -  Equipment  and
               leasehold improvements are  stated at  cost. Depreciation
               on equipment is  computed using the  straight-line method
               over estimated  useful lives.  Depreciation on  leasehold
               improvements is computed  using the  straight-line method
               over estimated  useful lives  or the  term of  the lease,
               whichever  is   less.   Expenditures   for  repairs   and
               maintenance  are  charged  to  expense  as  incurred  and
               additions and improvements that  significantly extend the
               lives of assets are capitalized. Upon  sale or retirement
               of  depreciable  property,   the  cost   and  accumulated
               depreciation are  removed from  the related  accounts and
               any  gain  or  loss  is  reflected   in  the  results  of
               operations.

               Income Taxes - Deferred income tax liabilities and assets
               are provided  for temporary  differences between  the tax
               basis and reported amounts of assets and liabilities that
               will result in  taxable or  deductible amounts  in future
               years.  The  Company's  temporary  differences  primarily
               result  from  revenue  from  the   acquisition  of  lease
               residuals  not  taxable   until  received,  the   use  of
               accelerated depreciation  for  tax  purposes and  accrued
               expenses not deductible for tax purposes until paid.

               Vendor  Incentive  Rebates  -  Certain  vendors   provide
               incentive   rebates   to   perform    product   training,
               advertising  and  other  sales   and  market  development
               activities. The Company recognizes these  rebates when it
               has  completed  its  obligation  to   perform  under  the
               specific incentive  arrangement.  Incentive  rebates  are
               recorded  as   reductions   of   selling,   general   and
               administrative expense  or,  if  volume  based,  cost  of
               sales.

               Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost
               or market. Cost is determined by the average cost method.

               Revenue Recognition - The  Company recognizes revenue  on
               the sale of equipment and supplies  when the products are
               shipped.  Service   revenue   is   recognized  when   the
               applicable services are provided.

               Deferred Revenue  -  Revenues  received  on  maintenance
               contracts are recognized  ratably over  the lives  of the
               contracts. Costs  related  to  maintenance contracts  are
               recognized when incurred.

               Stock-Based  Compensation  -  The  Financial   Accounting
               Standards Board  issued  SFAS  No. 123,  "Accounting  for
               Stock-Based  Compensation"  in  the  Fall  of  1995.  The
               statement encourages, but does not  require, companies to
               record  compensation   cost   for  stock-based   employee
               compensation plans  at  fair  value beginning  in  fiscal
               1996. The  Company  elected  to account  for  stock-based
               compensation using  the intrinsic value method prescribed
               in  Accounting   Principles   Board   Opinion   No.   25,
               "Accounting for Stock Issued  to Employees". Accordingly,
               compensation cost for  stock options  is measured  as the
               excess, if  any,  of  the  quoted  market  price  of  the
               Company's common  stock at  the date  of  grant over  the
               amount an  employee must  pay to  acquire the  stock. The
               Company has adopted SFAS No. 123  for disclosure purposes
               and for non-employee stock options. This  has no material
               effect on the results of operations or financial position
               of the Company.

                      Net Income per Share - The computation of primary
               net income  per  common and  common  equivalent share  is
               based upon the weighted  average number of  common shares
               outstanding during the period  plus, in periods  in which
               they have a dilutive effect, the  effect of common shares
               contingently issuable, primarily  from stock  options and
               warrants. Fully diluted net income per  common share also
               reflects dilution due to  the use of the  market price at
               the end of the period, when higher than the average price
               for the period.

               In February 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board
               issued SFAS No. 128,  ``Earnings Per Share." The Company
               will implement  the statement  in the  fourth quarter  of
               1997, the effect of which has not yet been determined.

               Use of Estimates in  Financial Statements - In  preparing
               financial  statements   in   conformity  with   generally
               accepted   accounting   principles,    management   makes
               estimates  and  assumptions  that   affect  the  reported
               amounts of  assets  and  liabilities and  disclosures  of
               contingent assets  and  liabilities at  the  date of  the
               financial statements, as well as the  reported amounts of
               revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
               results could differ from those estimates.

               Fair Value  Disclosures -  The  fair value  of  financial
               instruments approximates carrying value.

                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

               In 1993, the Company acquired certain assets, principally
               customer lists,  of a  computer  reseller in  Louisville,
               Kentucky. Also,  the  Company entered  into  a five  year
               covenant not to compete with the reseller and its owners.
               Amounts paid to the  reseller for these  intangibles were
               $194 thousand for  customer lists  and $241  thousand for
               the covenant not to compete. The  Company entered into an
               additional covenant not to compete with a former owner of
               the reseller  whereby the  Company paid  a total  of $277
               thousand in two installments during 1994 and 1995.

               In  fiscal 1996,  the Company acquired certain  assets of
               The Computer Supply Store, Inc. ("TCSS") a privately held
               computer  reseller  located  in  Des   Moines,  Iowa,  AA
               Microsystems, Inc. ("AA Micro"), a
               network service provider  located in  Birmingham, Alabama
               and  Communications   Technology,  Inc.   (DILAN ),  a        
               privately held  network  integrator  located in  Hickory,
               North Carolina (See Note  12). The Company  recorded $5.7
               million, $0.4  million and  $2.5 million  of goodwill  in
               connection with those acquisitions, respectively.

           6.  Borrowing Arrangements

               The Company has  an available  line of  credit up  to the
               lesser of $25 million, or an amount  based upon a formula
               of eligible trade receivables,  at an interest  rate that
               varies based on the prime  rate of the bank  or the LIBOR
               rate at the  Company's election. At  January 5,  1996 and
               1997, bank notes payable  include  $0.6 million  and $2.2
               million, respectively, of overdrafts in accounts with the
               Company's primary lender. These amounts were subsequently
               funded  through  the  normal  course   of  business.  The
               interest rate charged  was 8.25% at  January 5,  1996. At
               January 5,  1997, the  amount outstanding  included $14.1
               million at an interest rate of 7.5%  and $10.0 million at
               an interest  rate  of 7.25%  based  on  LIBOR rates.  The
               agreement, which  expires in  April 1997,  calls for  the
               payment of  a .25%  commitment fee  based  on the  unused
               portion of  the  line  of  credit. The  revolving  credit
               agreement is collateralized  by substantially  all assets
               of the Company,  except those assets  which collateralize
               certain other financing arrangements. Under the revolving
               credit agreement,  the  Company  may  not make  any  cash
               dividend payments.

               The maximum  amount outstanding  and  the average  amount
               outstanding on bank  revolving credit agreements  were as
               follows:

                    (in thousands)     Maximum        Average
                                       Amount         Amount
                    Period Ending     Outstanding    Outstanding
                    _______________   ____________   ____________
                    January 5, 1995   $ 15,442       $  9,382
                                                          
                    January 5, 1996   $ 19,000       $ 14,741

                    January 5, 1997   $ 26,687       $ 17,402

               The above average  amounts outstanding are  calculated by
               dividing the sum of  the average daily balances  for each
               month by the number of months in the period. The weighted
               average  interest  rate  on  the  bank  revolving  credit
               agreements was 7.1%, 8.7%  and  8.2% in fiscal 1994, 1995
               and 1996, respectively.

               In November 1994 the  Company exercised an option  in its
               revolving credit agreement to  borrow $500 thousand  on a
               term note  with interest  at  a rate  of  0.5% above  the
               bank's prime rate.   The interest rate on  this term note
               was revised to the bank's prime rate  in March, 1995. The
               term note matured July 31, 1996 and was paid off.

               The  Company  finances   inventory  through   floor  plan
               arrangements with two finance companies. As of January 5,
               1997 the floor plan lines of credit were $12 million with
               IBM Credit  Corporation  ("ICC")  and  $25  million  with
               Deutsche Financial Services ("DFS"). Borrowings under the
               ICC floor plan arrangement  are made on sixty  day notes,
               with one-half  of the  note amount  due  in thirty  days.
               Borrowings under the DFS floor plan  arrangement are made
               on  thirty  day  notes.     Financing  on  many   of  the
               arrangements which  are  subsidized  by manufacturers  is
               interest free. The average  rate on the plans  overall is
               less than 2.0%.

          8.   Operating Leases

               The Company leases  office and warehouse  space, vehicles
               and certain office equipment from  various lessors. Lease
               terms  vary  in  duration  and   include  various  option
               periods. The leases generally require the  Company to pay
               taxes and insurance. Future minimum  lease payments under
               noncancelable operating leases with  initial or remaining
               terms in excess of one year as of January  5, 1997 are as

           9.  Employee Benefit Plans

               The  Company has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP")
               which  covers substantially  all employees. No  less
               than a majority and no more than 75% of the assets of the
               ESOP will  be invested  in common  stock  of the  Company
               purchased on the open market. As of  January 5, 1997, the
               ESOP  held   57,129   shares   of   Company   stock.   No
               contributions were  made or  accrued in  fiscal 1995  and
               1996. A  contribution  of $100  thousand  was accrued  in
               fiscal 1994. The Company also has a savings plan  intended
               to qualify under sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal
               Revenue Code. The  plan  covers  substantially  all  employees
               of  the Company. The Company does not contribute to the plan.

               In December 1996, the Board of Directors took action to
               initiate proceedings to terminate the ESOP, which is expected
               to become effective during fiscal 1997.

          10.  Investment in Lease Residuals

               The Company  participates  in  a Remarketing  and  Agency
               Agreement   ("Agreement")   with    Information   Leasing
               Corporation ("ILC") whereby the Company obtains rights to
               50% of  lease residual  values for  services rendered  in
               connection  with   locating  the   lessee,  selling   the
               equipment to ILC  and agreeing  to assist  in remarketing
               the used equipment.

               During fiscal  1994,  1995  and  1996, the  Company  sold
               equipment and related support services to  ILC, for lease
               to ILC's customers, in  amounts of  $4.2  million,  $23.7
               million and $15.2 million, respectively. The Company also
               obtained rights to lease residuals from ILC in the amount
               of   $300 thousand,  $875 thousand  and $575  thousand in
               1994, 1995  and  1996,  respectively.  Such  amounts  are
               recorded as  a reduction  of the  related cost  of sales.
               Residuals acquired  in this  manner are  recorded at  the
               estimated present value of interest retained.

                           POMEROY COMPUTER RESOURCES, INC.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

               The Company  also  purchases  residuals  associated  with
               separate leasing arrangements  entered into by  ILC. Such
               transactions do  not involve  the sale  of equipment  and
               related support services by the Company to ILC. Residuals
               acquired in this manner are accounted for at cost.

               The carrying value of  investments in lease  residuals is
               evaluated on a  quarterly basis, and  is subject  only to
               downward market  adjustments  until  ultimately  realized
               through a sale or re-lease of the equipment.

          11.  Major Customers

               Sales to  a major  customer  totaled approximately  $16.0
               million for fiscal 1994.  Sales to a major  customer were
               approximately $43.8 million for  fiscal 1995. Sales  to a
               major customer  were  approximately   $40.3  million  for
               fiscal 1996.

          12.  Acquisition

               On November  14, 1994,  the Company  acquired all  of the
               outstanding  stock  of   Xenas  for   approximately  $546
               thousand. The purchase  price consisted of  $273 thousand
               in cash,  notes payable  in the  amount of  $136 thousand
               with interest at the rate of 0.5% above the prime rate of
               the Company's  primary  lender,  and 12,976  unregistered
               shares of the Company's common stock with a value of $137
               thousand.  The  acquisition   was  accounted  for   as  a
               purchase,  and   accordingly  the   purchase  price   was
               allocated  to  assets  and  liabilities  based  on  their
               estimated value  as  of  the  date  of  acquisition.  The
               results of Xenas's operations  have been included  in the
               consolidated  statements  of  income  from  the  date  of
               acquisition. The acquisition  agreement provides  for the
               payment of contingent consideration if  certain levels of
               net operating income,  as defined  in the  agreement, are
               achieved  periodically  from  the   date  of  acquisition
               through fiscal  1997.  Any  future  payments  under  this
               provision would  adjust the  recorded cost  in excess  of
               fair market value of net assets  acquired. Had Xenas been
               acquired at the beginning  of fiscal 1993,  the pro-forma
               inclusion of its operating  results would not have  had a
               significant  effect  on  the  reported  consolidated  net
               income for the two years ended January 5, 1995.

               On March 14, 1996, the Company acquired substantially all
               of the  assets  and  assumed  substantially  all  of  the
               liabilities of TCSS,  a privately held  computer reseller
               located in Des Moines, Iowa. The purchase price consisted
               of $4.5 million in cash, a $2.7 million subordinated note
               and 150  thousand unregistered  shares  of the  Company's
               common stock with an  approximate value of  $1.3 million.
               Interest on the subordinated note, which is calculated at
               prime plus  0.5%,  is  payable  quarterly.  Principal  is
               payable  in  four  equal  annual   installments  of  $425
               thousand after a  payment of $1.0  million was  made upon
               the Company's successful completion of  a secondary stock
               offering in July 1996. The acquisition  was accounted for
               as  a  purchase,  accordingly  the   purchase  price  was
               allocated  to  assets  and  liabilities  based  on  their
               estimated value as  of the date  of the  acquisition. The
               results  of  TCSS's   operations  are  included   in  the
               consolidated  statement  of  income  from   the  date  of
               acquisition.

               In August 1996, the Company acquired certain assets of AA
               Micro, a network service provider  located in Birmingham,
               Alabama. The purchase  price consisted of  $67.5 thousand
               in  cash,  a  $200  thousand  note   payable  and  19,974
               unregistered shares of the Company's common stock with an
               approximate value of $200 thousand. Interest on the note,
               which is calculated  at 8.25%,  is payable  quarterly and
               principal is payable  in three equal  annual installments
               of $66.7 thousand. In  addition, the Company  has entered
               into a  three-year employment  contract  with the  former
               president.  The  acquisition  was  accounted   for  as  a
               purchase, accordingly the purchase price was allocated to
               assets based on their  estimated value as of  the date of
               acquisition. The  results of  AA  Micro's operations  are
               included in the consolidated statement of income from the
               date of acquisition.

               On October  11, 1996  the Company acquired  substantially
               all of the  assets and assumed  substantially all  of the
               liabilities of DILAN, a privately held network integrator
               located in  Hickory, North  Carolina. The  purchase price
               consisted  of  $2.6  million  in  cash,  a  $1.1  million
               subordinated   note   and   $5.5   million   of   assumed
               liabilities. Interest on the subordinated  note, which is
               calculated at  10% per  annum, is  payable quarterly  and

               principal is payable  in three equal  annual installments
               of $365 thousand. The  acquisition will be  accounted for
               as a  purchase, accordingly  the purchase  price will  be
               allocated  to  assets  and  liabilities  based  on  their
               estimated value as  of the date  of the  acquisition. The
               results of  DILAN's operations  will be  included in  the
               consolidated  statement  of  income  from   the  date  of
               acquisition.

               The following table summarizes, on an unaudited pro forma
               basis, adjusted to reflect  a three-for-two split  of the
               Company's common stock  in the form  of a  stock dividend
               paid on October 4, 1996 and a 10%  stock dividend paid on
               May 22,  1995,  the  estimated  combined results  of  the
               Company, TCSS  and DILAN  assuming  the acquisitions  had
               occurred  on  January  6,  1995.  These  results  include
               certain adjustments, primarily goodwill  amortization and
               interest expense, and  are not necessarily  indicative of
               what results would have  been had the Company  owned TCSS
               and DILAN during the periods presented:

               During fiscal 1995  the Company entered  into a  ten year
               triple-net lease agreement commencing  in 1996 for  a new
               headquarters and  distribution  facility  with a  company
               that is controlled by the Chief  Executive Officer of the
               Company. The base rental for 1996  on an annualized basis
               is $583 thousand. The annual rental  for these properties
               was determined on the basis of a fair market value rental
               opinion provided by an independent real estate company.

               During fiscal 1992 the Company loaned $100 thousand to an
               officer of  the Company.  This loan  was  evidenced by  a
               promissory note with an  annual interest rate of  1% over
               the prime rate. In addition, a total of $106 thousand was
               advanced to  the  officer in  fiscal  years 1993  through
               1995. The note plus accrued interest and the advance were
               repaid during fiscal 1996.

               During fiscal 1996, the Company made periodic advances to
               a company  that  is  controlled  by the  Chief  Executive
               Officer of the  Company. No interest  was charged  on the
               advances which were repaid in December 1996.

          15.   Stockholders' Equity and Stock Option Plans                

               In July 1996,  the Company  completed a  secondary public
               offering of 1.4 million  new shares of its  common stock.
               The net  proceeds of  $17.9 million  were used  to reduce
               amounts outstanding  under the  line of  credit. If  this
               secondary offering had  been completed  as of  January 6,
               1996, pro forma  primary and  fully diluted  earnings per
               share would have been $1.05 and  $1.04, respectively, for
               fiscal 1996. This computation assumes no interest expense
               related to the  credit line  and the  issuance of  only a
               sufficient number of shares to eliminate  the credit line
               at the beginning of fiscal 1996.

               On September 6,  1996, the  Company's Board  of Directors
               authorized a three-for-two stock  split in the form  of a
               stock dividend payable  October 4, 1996,  to shareholders
               of record September 19,  1996. The split resulted  in the
               issuance of 2.1 million  new shares of common  stock. The
               stated par value of each share was not changed from $0.01.

               A total of $20 thousand was reclassified  from the 
               Company's additional  paid in capital account  to the 
               Company's common  stock account. Accordingly,  net  income 
               per   common  share,  weighted average  shares   outstanding
               and stock option plan information have  been  restated
               to  reflect  the  stock split.

               The Company's  1992  Non-Qualified  and  Incentive  Stock
               Option Plan  provides certain  employees  of the  Company
               with options  to  purchase common  stock  of the  Company
               through options at an exercise price  equal to the market
               value on the date of grant. 600,000  shares of the common
               stock of the Company are reserved  for issuance under the
               plan. The plan will terminate ten years  from the date of
               adoption.  Stock  options  granted  under  the  plan  are
               exercisable  in   accordance   with   various  terms   as
               authorized by the  Compensation Committee. To  the extent
               not exercised,  options  will expire  not  more than  ten
               years after the date of grant.

               The Company's 1992  Outside Directors' Stock  Option Plan
               provides outside directors of the Company with options to
               purchase common stock of the Company at an exercise price
               equal to the market  value of the  shares at the  date of
               grant. 75,000 shares of  common stock of the  Company are
               reserved for  issuance  under  the  plan. The  plan  will
               terminate ten years from  the date of  adoption. Pursuant
               to the  plan,  an option  to  purchase  10,000 shares  of
               common stock automatically will  be granted on  the first
               day of  the initial  term of  a  director. An  additional
               2,500  shares  of  common  stock  automatically  will  be
               granted to  an eligible  director upon  the first  day of
               each consecutive year  of service  on the  board. Options
               may be exercised  after one year  from the date  of grant
               for not more than one-third of the  shares subject to the
               option and an additional one-third of  the shares subject
               to the option may be  exercised for each of  the next two
               years thereafter.  To the  extent not  exercised, options
               will expire five years after the date of grant.

               The weighted  average fair  value at  date  of grant  for
               options granted during fiscal 1995 and 1996 was
               $2.42 and $2.75, respectively. The fair  value of options
               at the  date  of grant  was  estimated  using the  Black-
               Scholes  model  with   the  following   weighted  average

               The initial  application of  SFAS No.  123 for  pro forma
               disclosure  may  not  be  representative  of  the  future
               effects of applying the statement.

               In  1994,  1995  and  1996,    3,168,  4,000  and  3,076,
               respectively, shares  of  common  stock were  awarded  to
               officers of the  Company. Compensation  expense resulting
               from the awards was $40 thousand in fiscal 1994, 1995 and
               1996, respectively.

          16.  Litigation

               There are  various  other legal  actions  arising in  the
               normal course of business that have  been brought against
               the Company. Management  believes these matters  will not
               have  a   material  adverse   effect  on   the  Company's
               consolidated financial position or results of operations.

          17.  Risk of Loss from Concentrations

               During fiscal  1996, approximately  38% of  the Company's
               total net sales and  revenues were derived from   its top
               ten customers, including one customer which accounted for
               12% of total  net sales  and revenues. A  loss of  one or
               more of  the  Company's  major  customers  could  have  a
               material adverse effect on the Company.

               Due to the demand  for the products sold  by the Company,
               significant product shortages occur from
               time to time because manufacturers are  unable to produce
               certain products  to meet  increased  demand. Failure  to
               obtain adequate product  shipments could have  a material
               adverse effect on the Company's  operations and financial
               results.

               The Company  is  required  to  have  authorizations  from
               manufacturers in order to  sell their products.  The loss
               of a  significant  vendor's  authorization could  have  a
               material adverse effect on the Company's business.

          18. Subsequent Event
               On February 28, 1997,  the Company completed  a secondary
               public offering  of  1.02 million  shares  of its  common
               stock. The  net proceeds  of $23.2  million were  used to
               reduce amounts outstanding under its line of credit.
