                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   Basis of Presentation

     The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
     generally accepted accounting  principles for interim financial information
     and with the  instructions  to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation  S-X.
     Except  as  disclosed  herein,  there  has been no  material  change in the
     information  disclosed in the notes to  consolidated  financial  statements
     included  in the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
     January 5, 2000. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting
     of normal  recurring  accruals)  necessary for a fair  presentation  of the
     interim period have been made. The results of operations for the nine-month
     period ended October 5, 2000 are not necessarily  indicative of the results
     that may be  expected  for future  interim  periods or for the year  ending
     January 5, 2001.

2.   Cash and Bank Notes Payable

     The Company  maintains a sweep  account  with its bank  whereby  daily cash
     receipts are  automatically  transferred as a payment towards the Company's
     credit facility.  As a result,  the Company  maintains  minimal cash in its
     bank account.  At January 5 and October 5, 2000, bank notes payable include
     $19.1 million and $10.1  million,  respectively,  of overdrafts in accounts
     with a participant  bank to the Company's  credit  facility.  These amounts
     were subsequently funded through the normal course of business.

3.   Accounts Receivable

     Reclassifications  have  been  made to the  January  5,  2000  consolidated
     balance sheet included herein to conform with the  presentation  used as of
     October 5, 2000.

9.   Subsequent Events


     The  Company's  credit  facility  extension  agreement  with DFS expired on
     October 14, 2000, and the Company signed an additional ninety-day extension
     agreement  with DFS under the same terms as the original  credit  facility.
     This  extension  will expire  January 12, 2001.  DFS  approved,  subject to
     execution  of  documentation,  an  increase  in the total  facility to $175
     million  during the  ninety-day  extension  period  which  consists of $100
     million working capital facility and $75 million  inventory  facility.  The
     Company is currently negotiating with various financial  institutions a new
     credit  facility in order to increase its overall  financing  availability.
     Although  there  can be no  assurances  that  the  Company  will be able to
     finalize a new credit facility,  the Company currently  anticipates that an
     agreement will be reached.

     On November 7, 2000, the Company acquired The Linc Corporation and Val Tech
     Computer  Systems,  Inc.,  both based in  Birmingham,  Alabama.  The Linc's
     primary focus is on network  design,  consulting,  systems  engineering and
     maintenance  in  connection  with Cisco  products.  Val Tech  operates as a
     leasing company for products and services offered by the Linc  Corporation.
     The  acquisition  will be  accounted  for as a stock  purchase  and was not
     significant   with  respect  to  the   Company's   consolidated   financial
     statements. The results of operations from the acquisition will be included
     in the consolidated statement of income from the date of acquisition.

                        POMEROY COMPUTER RESOURCES, INC.
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

TOTAL NET SALES AND  REVENUES.  Total  net sales and  revenues  increased  $49.8
million,  or 25.3%,  to $246.9  million in the third quarter of fiscal 2000 from
$197.1  million  in  the  third  quarter  of  fiscal  1999.  This  increase  was
attributable  to an  increase  in sales to  existing  and new  customers  and to
acquisitions  completed in fiscal year 2000. Excluding acquisitions completed in
fiscal year 2000,  total net sales and revenues  increased  23.7%.  Product  and
leasing sales increased $38.2 million,  or 22.5%, to $208.2 million in the third
quarter of fiscal 2000 from $170.0  million in the third quarter of fiscal 1999.
Excluding  acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2000, product and leasing sales
increased 21.0%.  Service revenues  increased $11.6 million,  or 42.8%, to $38.7
million  in the third  quarter of fiscal  2000 from  $27.1  million in the third
quarter of fiscal year 1999.  Excluding  acquisitions  completed  in fiscal year
2000, service revenues increased 40.8%.

Total net sales and  revenues  increased  $131.5  million,  or 24.0%,  to $679.4
million in the first nine months of fiscal 2000 from $547.9 million in the first
nine months of fiscal 1999.  This  increase was  attributable  to an increase in
sales to existing and new customers and to acquisitions completed in fiscal year
2000. Excluding  acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2000, total net sales and
revenues increased 23.4%. Product and leasing sales increased $103.8 million, or
21.9%,  to $577.2  million in the first nine  months of fiscal  2000 from $473.4
million  in the  first  nine  months  of  fiscal  1999.  Excluding  acquisitions
completed  in fiscal  year 2000,  product  and leasing  sales  increased  21.4%.
Service  revenues  increased  $27.7 million,  or 37.2%, to $102.2 million in the
first nine months of fiscal 2000 from $74.5  million in the first nine months of
fiscal year 1999. Excluding  acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2000, service
revenues increased 36.5%.

GROSS  MARGINS.  Gross margin  increased to 13.8% in the third quarter of fiscal
2000 as compared to 13.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 1999.  This increase in
gross  margin  resulted  primarily  from the increase in a higher mix of service
revenue to total revenue. Service revenues increased to 15.7% of total net sales
and revenues in the third  quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to 13.7% of total net
sales and  revenues in the third  quarter of fiscal 1999.  Service  gross margin
increased  to 45.6% of total  gross  margin in the third  quarter of fiscal 2000
from 39.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 1999.  This increase in the percentage
of service  gross margin to total gross margin was primarily due to the increase
in  higher-margin  service  revenues.  Factors  that may have an impact on gross
margin in the future include the further decline of unit prices,  the percentage
of equipment or service sales with lower-margin customers,  the ratio of service
revenues to total net sales and revenues, and personnel utilization rates.

Gross  margin  decreased  to 13.3% in the first  nine  months of fiscal  2000 as
compared  to 13.4% in the first nine  months of fiscal  1999.  This  decrease in
gross  margin  resulted  primarily  from the  Company's  decision  to obtain new
business  and  increase  sales by  aggressively  pricing  certain  products  and
services in the first  quarter of fiscal  2000.  Service  revenues  increased to
15.0% of total net sales and  revenues  in the first nine  months of fiscal 2000
compared  to 13.6% of total net sales and  revenues  in the first nine months of
fiscal 1999.  Service gross  margin  increased to 47.1% of total gross margin in


                                    11 of 16
<PAGE>
the first nine  months of fiscal  2000 from  41.4% in the first  nine  months of
fiscal 1999.  This  increase in the  percentage of service gross margin to total
gross  margin  was  primarily  due  to the  increase  in  higher-margin  service
revenues.  Factors that may have an impact on gross margin in the future include
the further decline of unit prices, the percentage of equipment or service sales
with  lower-margin  customers,  the ratio of service revenues to total net sales
and revenues, and personnel utilization rates.

OPERATING EXPENSES. Selling, general and administrative expenses (including rent
expense)  expressed  as a percentage  of total net sales and  revenues  remained
constant at 6.7% in the third  quarter of fiscal 2000 as compared to 6.7% in the
third quarter of fiscal 1999.  Excluding  acquisitions  completed in fiscal year
2000, selling,  general and administrative expenses expressed as a percentage of
total net sales and revenues would have been 6.6% in the third quarter of fiscal
2000. Total operating  expenses expressed as a percentage of total net sales and
revenues  increased to 7.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2000 from 7.5% in the
third  quarter of fiscal 1999 due to the  increase in  depreciation  expense and
amortization expense as a result of acquisitions and other capital expenditures.
Excluding  acquisitions  completed in fiscal year 2000, total operating expenses
expressed as a percentage  of total net sales and revenues  would have been 7.6%
in the third quarter of fiscal 2000.

Selling,  general and administrative expenses (including rent expense) expressed
as a percentage  of total net sales and revenues  decreased to 6.5% in the first
nine months of fiscal  2000 from 6.8% in the first nine  months of fiscal  1999.
This decrease is primarily due to the growth in net sales and revenues exceeding
the  growth  in  selling,   general  and  administrative   expenses.   Excluding
acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2000, selling,  general and administrative
expenses  expressed as a percentage  of total net sales and revenues  would have
been 6.4% in the first nine  months of fiscal  2000.  Total  operating  expenses
expressed as a percentage  of total net sales and revenues  decreased to 7.5% in
the  first  nine  months of fiscal  2000 from 7.7% in the first  nine  months of
fiscal  1999 due to the  reason  noted  above  and  offset by the  increases  in
depreciation  and amortization  expenses.  Excluding  acquisitions  completed in
fiscal year 2000,  total operating  expenses  expressed as a percentage of total
net sales and  revenues  would have been 7.4% in the first nine months of fiscal
2000.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS. Income from operations increased $2.6 million, or 21.1%,
to $14.9  million in the third  quarter of fiscal 2000 from $12.3 million in the
third quarter of fiscal 1999. The Company's  operating  margin decreased to 6.1%
in the third  quarter of fiscal 2000 as compared to 6.2% in the third quarter of
fiscal  1999.  This  decrease  is  primarily  due to the  Company's  increase in
operating  expenses  in the third  quarter due to the  increase in  depreciation
expense  and  amortization  as  a  result  of  acquisitions  and  other  capital
expenditures.

Income from operations increased $8.0 million, or 25.3%, to $39.6 million in the
first nine months of fiscal 2000 from $31.6  million in the first nine months of
fiscal 1999. The Company's  operating  margin  remained  constant at 5.8% in the
first nine months of fiscal 2000 as compared to 5.8% in the first nine months of
fiscal 1999.

INTEREST  EXPENSE.  Interest  expense  increased $0.1 million,  or 8.3%, to $1.3
million  in the third  quarter  of fiscal  2000 from $1.2  million  in the third
quarter of fiscal 1999. This increase is primarily due to the Company's  overall
increase in debt borrowings in the first nine months of fiscal 2000.

Interest expense increased $0.4 million,  or 14.3%, to $3.2 million in the first
nine months of fiscal 2000 from $2.8  million in the first nine months of fiscal
1999. This increase is primarily due to the Company's  overall  increase in debt
borrowings in the first nine months of fiscal 2000.

INCOME TAXES. The Company's effective tax rate was 39.8% in the third quarter of
fiscal 2000 compared to 41.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 1999.  The decrease
in  the  Company's effective tax rate results from the Company's lowering of its
overall state income tax liability.

The  Company's  effective  tax rate was 39.7% in the first nine months of fiscal
2000 compared to 41.0% in the first nine months of fiscal 1999.  The decrease in
the  Company's  effective  tax  rate  results from the Company's lowering of its
overall state income tax liability.

NET INCOME. Net income increased $1.7 million,  or 26.2%, to $8.2 million in the
third  quarter of fiscal 2000 from $6.5  million in the third  quarter of fiscal
1999 due to the factors  described above. Net income increased $4.8 million,  or
27.7%,  to $22.1  million  in the first  nine  months of fiscal  2000 from $17.3
million in the first nine  months of fiscal  1999 due to the  factors  described
above.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash  used in operating activities was $11.8 million in the first nine months of
fiscal  2000. Cash used in investing activities was $17.1 million which included
$4.9  million  for  capital  expenditures  and  $12.2  million  for acquisitions
completed  in fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999. Cash provided by financing activities
was  $27.6  million  which  included  $18.3  million  of net borrowings on notes
payable  and  $9.3 million from the exercise of stock options and employee stock
purchase  plan.

A  significant  part of the  Company's  inventories  is  financed  by floor plan
arrangements  with third  parties.  At October  5, 2000,  these  lines of credit
totaled $72.0 million,  including $60.0 million with Deutsche Financial Services
("DFS") and $12.0 million with IBM Credit Corporation ("ICC").  Borrowings under
the DFS floor plan arrangements are made on thirty-day  notes.  Borrowings under
the ICC floor  plan  arrangements  are made on either  thirty-day  or  sixty-day
notes.  All such borrowings are secured by the related  inventory.  Financing on
substantially  all of the  arrangements  is interest  free due to  subsidies  by
manufacturers.  Overall,  the average  rate on these  arrangements  is less than
1.0%.  The  Company  classifies   amounts   outstanding  under  the  floor  plan
arrangements as accounts payable.

The  Company's  financing of  receivables  is provided  through a portion of its
credit  facility with DFS. The credit  facility  provides a credit line of $80.0
million for accounts  receivable  financing.  The accounts receivable portion of
the credit  facility  carries a variable  interest  rate based on the prime rate
less 125 basis  points.  At October 5, 2000,  the amount  outstanding  was $69.0
million,  including  $10.1  million  of  overdrafts  on the  Company's  books in
accounts at a participant bank on the credit facility,  which was at an interest
rate of 8.25%. The overdrafts were subsequently funded through the normal course
of business.  The credit facility 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
subject to various financial covenants.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2000,  the Company  increased the leasing
activity  through its  wholly-owned  leasing  subsidiary,  TIFS.  This increased
leasing  activity  during the first nine months of fiscal 2000 resulted in $23.4
million in increased net  borrowings  under the  Company's  notes  payable.  The
funding of the  Company's net  investment  in  sales-type  leases is provided by
various  financial  institutions on a non-recourse  basis.  Further increases in
leasing  operations  could  result  in  additional  debt  and  interest  expense
depending  on  the  amount  of  leasing  activity  and  the  types  of  leasing
transactions.

The  Company's  credit  facility extension agreement with DFS expired on October
14,  2000,  and  the Company signed an additional ninety-day extension agreement
with  DFS  under the same terms as the original credit facility.  This extension
will  expire  January  12,  2001.  DFS  approved,  subject  to  execution  of
documentation,  an  increase  in  the  total facility to $175 million during the
ninety-day  extension  period  which  consists  of  $100 million working capital
facility  and  $75  million  inventory  facility.  The  Company  is  currently
negotiating  with  various financial institutions a new credit facility in order
to  increase  its  overall  financing  availability.  Although  there  can be no
assurances  that the Company will be able to finalize a new credit facility, the
Company  currently  anticipates  that  an  agreement  will  be  reached.

The Company  believes that the 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, earn outs, shares of its Common Stock
and seller financing.  The Company  anticipates that future acquisitions will be
financed in a similar manner.
