    General notes to the Hall-Mark consolidated statements of income for the
six months ended June 30, 1993 and July 3, 1992.

    The preceding unaudited consolidated statements of income cover the six
month period subsequent to Hall-Mark's 1992 fiscal year end and prior to its
acquisition by Avnet on July 1, 1993, and the comparable prior year period.

    The statement of income for the six month period ended June 30, 1993
includes a net after tax charge of $1,190,000, or $0.11 per share, relating to a
tax benefit reflected in the income statement of Hall-Mark for the year ended
December 31, 1992 arising from the the then expected utilization of $3,500,000
of tax net operating loss carryforwards.  Avnet believes that it will be unable
to derive a tax benefit from such tax loss carryforwards and, therefore, has
reflected an appropriate charge to the statement of income for the period
ended June 30,1993.  The statement of income of Hall-Mark for the year ended
December 31, 1992 (included on page 5) has not been retroactively adjusted
because the impact of this adjustment is not material to Hall-Mark's results of
operations for that period or its financial position at December 31, 1992.

                                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

  Basis of Presentation

    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hall-Mark
 Electronics Corporation ("Hall-
Mark" or the "Company"), an industrial distributor of electronic components
 and systems products, and the
accounts of Allied Electronics, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary.  All
 significant intercompany balances and
transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

  Revenue Recognition

    The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of product to the customer.

  Inventories

    Inventories, which consist of purchased electronic components and systems
 products held for resale,
are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is determined on the
 first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. 
Incoming goods are recorded when received. 

  Property and Equipment

    Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation is provided
 using the straight-line method over
the estimated lives of the assets, ranging from three to 20 years.

  Cost in Excess of Net Assets of Businesses Acquired

    Cost in excess of net assets of businesses acquired is amortized using
 the straight-line method over
40 years.

  Covenant Not to Compete

    The cost of the covenant not to compete, entered into in August 1988,
 has been amortized using the
straight-line method over three years.  The covenant not to compete was fully
 amortized during 1991.

  Debt Issuance Costs

    Debt issuance costs are amortized over the terms of the related debt.

  Other Intangibles

    Other intangibles consist principally of customer lists, which are being
 amortized using the straight-line
method over seven years.

  Capitalized Software Development Costs

    Direct expenses related to acquiring or developing new software applications
 for the Company's internal
use are capitalized and amortized, upon implementation, using the
 straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the applications, ranging from five to seven years.

  Income Taxes

    Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences on
 future years resulting from
differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported
 amounts in the financial
statements.

    In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
 of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 ("SFAS No. 109"), which requires changes in the accounting and
 reporting for income
taxes and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1992.
  The Company plans to adopt
SFAS No. 109 on a prospective basis in the first quarter of 1993 and believes
 that application of the new
rules will virtually eliminate the Company's existing deferred tax liabilities.

                        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(5) Long-Term Debt (Continued)
    Interest expense paid in cash was $8,775,000, $15,303,000 and $18,712,000
 for fiscal years 1992,
1991, and 1990 respectively.

    In June 1992, the Company repurchased $36,987,000 face amount of senior
 subordinated notes and
$12,190,000 face amount of junior subordinated notes for an aggregate purchase
 price of $40,170,000 with
the proceeds from the public stock offering (see Note 7).  These repurchases
 resulted in an extraordinary
gain of $2,408,000, net of income taxes of $1,225,000.

    On July 31, 1992, the Company entered into a five-year $140,000,000 variable
 interest rate revolving
credit facility with a syndicate of banks (the "Credit Agreement")
 to refinance its existing facility and its
remaining subordinated indebtedness, and to provide the Company with working
 capital.  The Credit
Agreement  permits borrowings up to the lesser of a borrowing base limited
 to specified percentages of
eligible assets, or a specified maximum commitment amount, initially
 $140,000,000 with reductions in
$5,000,000 increments beginning August 1, 1993.  As of December 31, 1992, the
 borrowing base under
the Credit Agreement was $125,763,000.  All outstanding borrowings are due
 July 31, 1997.  Borrowings
under the new facility bear interest at one of two rates selected
 by Hall-Mark;  (i) a defined Alternative
Base Rate (6% at December 31, 1992) plus 1%, or (ii) a defined Eurodollar
 rate plus 2%.  At December
31, 1992, the weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under
 the Credit Agreement was
approximately 5.93%.  In September 1992, Hall-Mark entered into an interest
 rate swap agreement to
establish a fixed interest rate of 6.68% for a period of three years on
 $25,000,000 of borrowings under the
Credit Agreement.  At December 31, 1992, the Company had an interest rate
 cap agreement in place
whereby the interest rate on an additional $15,000,000 of borrowings will
 not exceed 8.5% for a period of
two years.

    Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are collateralized by substantially
 all assets of the Company. 
Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, Hall-Mark is subject to customary
 covenants, such as restrictions
on dividend payments and limitations on indebtedness, as well as financial
 covenants.  The financial
covenants require the maintenance of specified inventory turnover, interest
 coverage and leverage ratios. 
The rates and other terms of the Credit Agreement and the related interest
 rate swap and cap agreements
reflect current market conditions and, accordingly, their carrying values
 represent a reasonable estimate
of fair value.

    Concurrent with closing of the Credit Agreement, the Company completed the
 redemption of the
remaining junior subordinated notes with borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
  Pursuant to an
agreement between the Company and the holders of these notes, the notes were
 redeemed at 56.44%
of the $32,071,000 principal amount through the payment of $18,103,000.  The
 repurchase resulted in an
extraordinary gain of  $3,220,000, net of income taxes of $1,640,000 and the
 write-off of deferred financing
costs related to the former credit facility.  

    In December, 1992, the Company redeemed the remaining $10,668,000 face
 amount of its senior
subordinated notes at a specified call price equal to 106.5% of the face amount
 of the notes.  The
$11,361,000 redemption price was financed with borrowings under the Credit
 Agreement.  An extraordinary
loss of $1,374,000 resulted from this transaction.

    In December 1991, the Company repurchased $21,233,000 face amount of
 senior subordinated notes,
13,651 shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase
 856,352 shares of
the Company's common stock (351,448 warrants exercisable without payment of
 additional consideration
and 504,904 warrants with an exercise price of $7.50 per share) and obtained the
 right to purchase an
additional $36,987,000 principal amount of senior subordinated notes from one of
 the sellers at scheduled
redemption prices for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $29,200,000
 (the "1991
Repurchases").  The purchase price was financed through the issuance for
 $13,070,000 (to the Company's
majority stockholder) of preferred stock (see Note 6) and warrants to purchase
 1,307,000 shares of the
Company's common stock (with an exercise price of $10.00 per share), borrowings
 under the former credit
facility of approximately $14,130,000 and the issuance of $2,000,000 face amount
 of senior subordinated
notes.  In connection with these transactions, an extraordinary loss of
 $1,133,000 was realized, net of
income tax benefit of $33,000.  Approximately $1,100,000 of brokerage and
 transaction fees were incurred
to consummate these transactions.

(6)  Preferred Stock
    The Company is authorized to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of preferred
 stock, 26,300 of which have
been designated Series A Preferred Stock, and 10 shares of which were initially
 designated as Series B
Preferred Stock.  In connection with the 1991 Repurchases, 10 shares of
 Series B Preferred Stock were
issued.  These shares of Series B Preferred Stock were converted into 13,070
 shares of Series A
Preferred Stock in December 1991.  At December 31, 1992, no shares of
 Preferred Stock remain
outstanding (see Notes 5 and 7).

(7)  Equity Offering
    Pursuant to a registration statement declared effective on May 22, 1992, the
 Company sold 4,000,000
shares of common stock to the public market.  The net proceeds of this offering,
 which approximated
$40,000,000, were used to retire subordinated indebtedness (see Note 5).

    Concurrent with the public stock offering, 19,777 shares of Series A
 Preferred Stock were surrendered
as payment of the exercise price of warrants to purchase 2,640,333 shares of the
Company's common
stock.

    Additionally, the Company redeemed the remaining shares of its Series A 
Preferred Stock on August
10, 1992 through payment of approximately $7,900,000 provided by borrowings
 under the Credit
Agreement.

(8)  Notes Receivable From Sale of Stock

    Notes receivable from sale of stock represent notes receivable for common
 stock issued to certain
members of the Company's management in August 1988. The notes bear interest at a
 defined rate (6.0%
and 6.5% at December 31, 1992 and 1991, respectively), payable quarterly, and 
are due and payable in
full on July 29, 1993.

(9)  Income Taxes

    The provision for income taxes consists of the following:

                                         1992          1991          1990

                                       $    4,168  $      520     $     152  

       Income taxes paid in cash were $7,073,000, $422,000 and $88,000 for
 fiscal years 1992, 1991 and
1990, respectively.

       Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the
 amount of assets and liabilities
recognized for financial reporting purposes and such amounts recognized for
 tax purposes.  The
Company's temporary differences relate primarily to depreciation methods on
 property and equipment,
capitalizing certain items such as software development costs for financial
 reporting purposes, recognizing
certain expenses on an allowance method for financial reporting purposes, and
 adjustments to asset and
liability amounts for financial reporting purposes.

       The difference between the Company's effective income tax rate and the
 federal statutory rate of
34% is due primarily to the benefit derived from the utilization of regular and
 alternative minimum tax net
operating loss carryforwards, offset by state income taxes.  A comparison of
 income tax expense at the
federal statutory rate of 34% to the Company's provision for income taxes is as
 follows:

       The Company's tax return for the five month period ended December 30,
 1988 has been audited
by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS").  The IRS has questioned certain
 positions taken by the Company
with respect to deductions claimed.  While the Company believes its positions
 will be sustained, there can
be no assurance that it will prevail.  The potential maximum tax impact of this
 audit is $8,750,000.

(10)  Leases

       The Company leases certain facilities and computer and other equipment
 used in its operations
under noncancellable operating lease agreements having an initial term of more
 than one year and
expiring at various dates through 1997.  Most leases contain renewal options
 and some contain purchase
options.  These options are typically for renewal or purchase at fair market
 value or at escalated amounts
based on the Consumer Price Index, which approximate the fair market values. 
 The renewal terms range
from periods of two years to ten years.  The leases generally provide that
 the Company pay taxes,
maintenance, insurance and certain other operating expenses.

       Rent expense was $6,585,000, $7,334,000, and $7,235,000, respectively,
 for fiscal years 1992,
1991, and 1990.

(11)  Employee Benefit Plans

       Hall-Mark provides a savings and investment plan, under which Hall-Mark
 contributes an amount,
as determined by its board of directors each year, based upon Hall-Mark's
 profits, to match up to 50% of
eligible employee contributions.  In addition, when profits during a calendar
 year permit and subject to
certain limitations, additional contributions may be made.  For fiscal years
 1992, 1991, and 1990, the
Company contributed $1,045,000, $873,000, and $825,000, respectively, to the 
savings and investment
plan.

       The Company currently offers no employee benefits which qualify under the
 provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106 ("SFAS No. 106").  Therefore, the 
impact of the adoption of
SFAS No. 106, if any, would not be material.

(12)  Stock Options and Warrants

       In October 1992, the Company adopted the 1992 Employee Stock Option Plan
 (the "1992 Option
Plan") which provides for the granting of options covering 300,000 shares of
 common stock to officers and
key employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.  Options covering the
 entire 300,000 shares
authorized by the 1992 Option Plan were issued in the aggregate prior to and
 remained outstanding on
December 31, 1992.  All such options have an exercise price of $17.63 per share
 and become exercisable
in five equal annual installments beginning one year from the date of grant.

       In addition, options covering an aggregate of 250,000 shares of common
 stock were issued in 1988
under each of two plans:  the 1988 Employee Stock Option Plan (the "1988 Option
 Plan") and the 1988
Employee Performance Stock Option Plan (the "Performance Plan").  At December
 31, 1992, options with
an exercise price of $10.00 per share covering 217,000 shares were outstanding
 under the 1988 Option
Plan.  In connection with the adoption of the 1992 Option Plan, the Performance
 Plan and all options
outstanding thereunder were terminated.

       A summary of changes in outstanding options under the Company's stock
 option plans follows:

                                          1992          1988       Performance

(13)  Income (Loss) Per Common Share

    Income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss)
 applicable to common stock (net income (loss) less preferred stock dividend
 requirements) by the weighted average shares of common stock and dilutive
 common stock equivalents outstanding (except for warrants to purchase
1,307,000 shares of common stock which are treated as the equivalent of
 outstanding shares for the calculation pursuant to Securities and Exchange
 Commission regulations).  Common stock equivalents consist of common stock
 warrants and options.


    Income (loss) per common share is calculated as follows:

                                                1992        1991       1990

                         Report of Coopers & Lybrand, Independent Accountants


The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Hall-Mark Electronics Corporation:


    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hall-Mark
 Electronics Corporation as of December 31, 1992 and 1991, and the related
 consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows
 for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1992.  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 financial statements referred to above present fairly,
 in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Hall-Mark
 Electronics Corporation as of December 31, 1992 and 1991, and the consolidated
 results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years
 in the period ended December 31, 1992, in conformity with generally
 accepted accounting principles.

    (b)   Proforma Financial Information 

    The following unaudited proforma consolidated statement of income gives
 effect to the conversion of 10,796,000 shares of Hall-Mark Common Stock
 into 4,858,000 shares of Avnet Common Stock and $215.9 million cash pursuant
 to the Acquisition, as well as the repayment of approximately $108.5 million of
 Hall-Mark's existing bank indebtedness.

    The proforma condensed consolidated statement of income for the year ended
 June 30, 1993 presents
consolidated operating results for Avnet as if the Acquisition had occurred as
 of July 1, 1992.  

    The proforma financial information presented is not necessarily indicative
 of the results of operations
that might have occurred had the Acquisition actually taken place at the
 beginning of the period  specified,
or of future results of operations of Avnet and its subsidiaries.  The proforma
 statement of income is
based upon the historical consolidated statements of income of Hall-Mark and
 Avnet and should be read
in conjunction with such historical financial statements and the notes thereto.

       NOTES TO UNAUDITED PROFORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

Proforma Adjustments--Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income

(a)    Avnet expects to achieve operating efficiencies from the acquisition of
       Hall-Mark.  It is anticipated that cost savings will result principally
       from such areas as warehousing, sales facilities and computer systems.
       Such anticipated cost savings have not been reflected in the
       accompanying proforma condensed statement of income.

       In addition, the proforma condensed consolidated statement of income
       does not reflect the costs of the integration into Avnet of the Hall-Mark
       business which were charged to operations in the first quarter of fiscal
       1994.  Such one-time costs, amounting to approximately $19.9 million, 
       represent only those integration expenses related to Avnet. Consolidation
       costs related to Hall-Mark as a result of the integration are included
       in goodwill.  Also excluded from the accompanying proforma data is
       amortization of stock option compensation of approximately $4.8 million
       related to the issuance of Avnet stock options in consideration of the
       cancellation and settlement of the options outstanding under Hall-Mark's
       1992 Stock Option Plan, which was also recorded as goodwill.

(b)    Adjustment to reflect the elimination of interest income on the cash used
       in connection with the Acquisition, including the cash portion of the
       purchase price and the repayment of Hall-Mark bank debt, at an estimated
       average annual interest rate of 4.50%.

(c)    Adjustment to reflect: (1) the amortization of estimated goodwill
       determined on a straight-line basis over 40 years resulting from the
       purchase accounting related to the Acquisition, (2) the cost of operating
       leases associated with the leasing of additional computer hardware,
       (3) the reversal of amortization and similar expenses in connection
       with the write-off of certain  Hall-Mark assets, and (4) the
       amortization of deferred financing costs resulting from proposed
       borrowings discussed in note (d) below.

(d)    Adjustment to reflect the net increase (reduction) in interest expense,
       based upon a presumption  of, but not a commitment for, the
       execution of the two transactions described below:

                                                            Year ended
                                                          June 30, 1993
                                                          (In Thousands)

       Proposed issuance of $100.0 million of ten-year
          senior notes at an assumed interest rate 
          of 6.50% and $41.0 million of short-term borrowings
          at an assumed interest rate of 3.50%                   $7,946 

       Elimination of certain Hall-Mark debt based 
          on actual interest expense incurred                    (6,952)

       Net increase in interest expense                           $ 994 

(e)    Adjustments to reflect: (1) the effect on income taxes related to  
       proforma adjustments to the  condensed consolidated statement of income
       described above; and (2) the additional tax provision on Hall-Mark's
       historical income before income taxes to reflect Hall-Mark's estimated
       recurring income tax rate without utilization of pre-existing net
       operating losses.

(f)    For the 12 months ended June 30, 1993, Hall-Mark's net income is
       before extraordinary items and the cumulative effect of a change
       in the method of accounting for income taxes.

(g)    Assumes the issuance of 4,858,000 shares of Avnet Common Stock to
       consummate the Acquisition. Solely for the purpose of calculating Avnet's
       historical earnings per share for the 12 months ended June 30, 1993
       and proforma earnings per share for the 12 months ended June 30, 1993,
       reflected in the statement above shares of common stock issuable upon
       the conversion of Avnet's 6% convertible subordinated debentures were
       considered common share equivalents, and the net interest expense
       applicable to such debentures was eliminated.
