                                   PART I

ITEM 1.  Business

      Avnet, Inc., incorporated in New York in 1955, together with its
subsidiaries (the "Company" or "Avnet"), is a leading distributor of electronic
components and computer products sold principally to industrial customers. 
Electronic component distributors are a vital link in the chain that connects
suppliers of semiconductors, interconnect products, passives and
electromechanical devices and computer products to original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs) who design and build the complete spectrum of electronic
equipment that utilizes the components. Avnet's primary customers are OEMs,
including military contractors and the military.  Components are shipped either
as received from its suppliers or with assembly or other value added.  Avnet 
adds
value to the components which it sells by customizing them prior to shipment to
meet individual customer specifications.  Avnet also produces or distributes
other electronic, electrical and video communications products.  

      On July 1, 1993 Avnet acquired Hall-Mark Electronics Corporation ("Hall-
Mark") which, together with its subsidiary Allied Electronics, Inc., was the
third largest electronic components distributor in North America.  The
acquisition added about 25,000 customers and additional distribution franchises
to Avnet's Electronic Marketing Group.  

      The industry segments in which Avnet operates are as follows:

      1.    The Company operates primarily through its Electronic Marketing
Group.  The Electronic Marketing Group is engaged in the marketing, assembly,
and/or processing of electronic and electromechanical components and computer
products, principally for industrial as well as for commercial and military use.
It also offers an array of value-added services to its customers, such as
inventory replenishment systems, kitting, connector and cable assembly and
semiconductor programming.

      2.    The Video Communications Group, consisting of the Company's Channel
Master division, is engaged in the manufacture, assembly and/or marketing of TV
signal processing equipment.  Channel Master is a leading manufacturer of DBS
(Direct Broadcast Satellite) TV receiving antennas, conventional TV roof 
antennas and commercial satellite antenna systems (CATS).

      3.    The Electrical and Industrial Group is engaged in the distribution
of electrical motors and motor parts, electronic production line supplies,
industrial supplies, maintenance and repair parts and measuring and control
devices. 

      The sales, operating income and identifiable assets of the Company's
Electronic Marketing Group (its primary industry segment) and its domestic and
foreign operations, prepared in accordance with Statement of Financial 
Accounting
Standards No. 14, are shown in Note 14 to the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements which appear in Item 14 of this Report.<PAGE>
The following tables set 
forth, for each of Avnet's three fiscal years
ended June 30, 1995, July 1, 1994, and June 30, 1993, the approximate amount of
sales and net income of Avnet which is attributable to each industry segment
(after allocation of Corporate results) shown above:

*  The 1994 net income shown above for the Electronic Marketing and the
   Electrical and Industrial Groups are before special charges of $12.3 million
   and $1.7 million after tax, respectively, for restructuring and integration
   costs and the impact of the retroactive change in U.S. federal income tax
   rates.  The consolidated net income shown above for 1994 also does not
   include the $2.8 million after-tax charge for the cumulative effect of the
   change in method of accounting for income taxes.

      In 1994, Avnet recorded a special charge of  $22.7 million ($13.5 million
after-tax) primarily for restructuring and integration costs associated with the
acquisition of Hall-Mark.  As is typical in an acquisition of this type, there
were many duplicate costs at the acquisition date related to excess personnel
performing essentially the same functions, multiple sales offices in close
proximity to one another, excess warehouse and administrative office capacity,
excess furniture, fixtures, machinery and equipment, redundant computer hardware
and software and other items.  In addition, many  Avnet and Hall-Mark  vendors 
supplied substantially the same products, resulting in additional<PAGE>
costs of 
inventorying redundant parts.  Consequently, the Company terminated a
number of supplier relationships even though this caused the value of some
inventory to be non-realizable in the ordinary course of business.  In
eliminating some of these duplicate costs, and in order to most effectively 
adopt
and assimilate the two companies' best operating and administrative practices,
a number of employee terminations and relocations were also required. 
Accordingly, the special charge recorded by the Company in 1994 included 
accruals
for severance, real and personal property lease terminations, relocation of
employees, inventory adjustments related to supplier terminations and other
items.

            and UCC.

      Most of the Electronic Marketing Group's product lines are covered by
nonexclusive distributor agreements with suppliers, cancelable upon 30 to 180
days notice.  Most of these agreements provide for the periodic return to the
supplier of obsolete inventory and the return of all standard inventory upon
termination of the contract.

      The Electronic Marketing Group accounted for 90%, 89% and 86% of Avnet's
consolidated sales in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  The Electronic
Marketing Group's sales by major product class for the last three years is as
follows:

      All the items sold by the Group are in highly competitive fields.  With
regard to many of its product lines, the Group may be in competition not only
with other distributors but also with its own sources of supply.  Central to the
business of Avnet and the distribution industry as a whole is the carrying of a
significant amount of inventory to meet rapid delivery requirements of 
customers. 
Avnet enhances its competitive situation by offering a variety of value-added
services which entails the performance of services and/or processes tailored to
individual customer specifications and business needs such as point of use
replenishment, testing, assembly and material management.

Video Communications Group

      The Video Communications Group, which consists of the Channel Master
companies located in the U.S. and the United Kingdom,  principally designs,
develops and manufactures TV signal processing equipment.  Its sales in 1995 
were $246.0 million or approximately 6% of Avnet's consolidated revenues.

      Channel Master is primarily a manufacturer/distributor of TV antennas, TV
rotators and home satellite TV signal receiving and descrambling systems.  Its
products are used by home TV viewers and the SMATV (Satellite Master Antenna TV)
and CATV (Community Antenna TV -- also known as cable TV) industries.  Channel
Master produces antennas for DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite) projects 
worldwide. Channel Master has two principal manufacturing facilities, one 
each in the U.S.and England.  

      Over the 1990 through 1993 fiscal-year periods, Avnet closed down its 
audio equipment and satellite receiver manufacturing businesses in the Far East.
However, Channel Master continues to manufacture certain proprietary TV signal
amplifying and electronic equipment in Taiwan.

      The required materials used in manufacturing Channel Master's products are
purchased from many suppliers (except for TV rotators, which are purchased from
a single supply source).  Channel Master has no long-term supply contracts.

      All the items sold by Channel Master are in highly competitive fields.

Electrical and Industrial Group

      Avnet's Electrical and Industrial Group operates primarily in the
electrical and electronic industrial equipment distribution industry and in the
industrial maintenance and repair fields.  The Group currently consists of three
units, Brownell Electro,  Avnet Industrial and Avnet Supply which together with
their various divisions operate under the Brownell Electro, Inc. subsidiary of
Avnet (hereinafter referred to as Brownell, Avnet Industrial and Avnet Supply,
respectively).  The Group's 1995 sales of $181.0 million represented 4% of
Avnet's total sales.
<PAGE>
     In July 1995, the Company entered into a contract to sell its Brownell
business and expects to complete the divestiture in the first quarter of 1996. 
Brownell distributes electric motors, electrical insulation and magnet wire and
supplies parts, such as bearings, switches and electrical tapes for the
rebuilding and replacement of industrial air conditioning, refrigeration,
heating, ventilation and appliance motors through a network of 28 facilities
throughout the U.S. Its electric motors are sold principally under its Leland-
Faraday trademark.  In addition, electric motors and motor parts made by the
major electric motor and control manufacturers are stocked, delivered and
serviced from Brownell's distribution and service centers. 

      Avnet Industrial supplies the industrial, commercial, institutional,
agricultural, governmental, mining and utility markets with a broad line of
industrial maintenance and factory supplies, many under its Mechanics Choice
trademark.  It also distributes limit switches, interval timers,
photoelectronics, industrial display and control instruments, oscilloscopes and
analog and digital meters and it maintains laboratories and service stations for
their repair and recalibration.

      Avnet Supply, a startup business launched in August 1995, provides
electronic production line supplies to the OEM/Electronics Production Line
markets.  Production line consumable and accessories available through Avnet
Supply include adhesives and sealants, silicones, solders and chemicals, static
control, tapes, tools and equipment and tubing and sleeving.

      In March 1995, the Company sold its Freeman Products operating unit. 
Freeman Products, a trophy manufacturing business, had five sales facilities
across the United States.

      The products which are distributed by this Group compete with the products
of other companies which sell parts to the industrial and repair markets and 
with the product lines of many local and national distributors and jobbers.

Number of Employees

      At June 30, 1995, Avnet had approximately 9,000 employees.  

ITEM 2.     Properties

      As of June 30, 1995, Avnet owned or leased approximately 4,280,000 square
feet of space for its principal office, warehouse, distribution, assembly,
manufacturing, engineering and research facilities.  Approximately 60% of the
space was used by the Electronic Marketing Group.  The Video Communications 
Group used approximately 25% of the space, the Electrical and Industrial 
Group used approximately 14% of the space and the Corporate office used 
approximately 1% of the space.  Avnet also owned or leased approximately 
227,083 square feet of space which was subleased to others.  Of the total 
space owned or leased, approximately 87% was located in the United States.
<PAGE>
ITEM 3.Legal Proceedings
      
      In the opinion of management, based on all known facts, there are no legal
proceedings which the Company is required to report.  However, as previously
reported, the Company is a potentially responsible party ("PRP") or has received
claims for indemnity in several environmental cleanups under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA").  In
particular, Avnet is one of approximately 14 PRPs subject to an administrative
order issued by the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") pursuant to section
106 of CERCLA in connection with the cleanup of a National Priorities List site
in North Smithfield, Rhode Island.  Avnet's connection with the Rhode Island 
site arises from the alleged disposal of hazardous material at the site by 
its former Miller Electric and Carol Cable Company divisions which were sold 
in 1981.  Also, real estate owned by the Video Communications Group in 
Oxford, North Carolina is listed on the EPA's National Priorities List, and the 
Company and the prior ownerof the site have entered into a Consent Decree with
the EPA pursuant to which the parties have agreed to clean up the site. 
Additional information about this site and other sites is set forth on pages 
24 and 25 of this Report.

ITEM 7.     Management's Discussion and Analysis

      For an understanding of the significant factors that influenced the
Company's performance during the past three years, the following discussion
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements,
including the related notes, and other information appearing elsewhere in this
report.  

      On July 1, 1993, Avnet completed its acquisition of all of the stock of
Hall-Mark Electronics Corporation, including its wholly-owned subsidiary Allied
Electronics, Inc. (together referred to as "Hall-Mark"), pursuant to an 
Agreement
and Plan of Merger dated April 20, 1993.  Prior to the acquisition, Hall-Mark
was the nation's third largest distributor of electronic components.  Except 
where noted, Hall-Mark is not included in the discussion and analysis 
relating to fiscal year 1993.

      Since July 1, 1994, the Company has completed eight acquisitions for the
Electronic Marketing Group--three each in the United States and Europe and two
in the Asia/Pacific region.  These acquisitions, seven of which were completed
during 1995 and one of which was completed subsequent to June 30, 1995, are
discussed earlier in this report and in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

Results of Operations

      Results of operations during the last three years are shown on page four
of this report.  An analysis of the results for those years follows.

Consolidated

      Consolidated sales were a record $4.300 billion in 1995 or 21% higher than
the $3.548 billion in 1994. This increase in consolidated sales was due 
primarily to sales growth at the Electronic Marketing Group's Hamilton 
Hallmark, Computer Marketing Group and Avnet Europe operations and at the 
Channel Master division. Of the $752 million sales increase, approximately 
$119 million was contributed by operations acquired during 1995.  Without 
such sales, consolidated sales would have been approximately 18% higher 
than in 1994.  During each quarter of 1995,sales were higher than in the 
corresponding quarter of 1994. Average daily sales,including Hall-Mark 
on a proforma basis in 1993 and 1992, have increased in each quarter since 
the second quarter of 1992 with the exception of the third quarter of 1994 
when average daily sales were slightly below those for the second quarter 
of 1994.

      Consolidated sales of $3.548 billion in 1994 were 59% higher than the
$2.238 billion in 1993 and 19% higher if Hall-Mark's comparable periods sales of
$744 million were included in Avnet's 1993 results.

      Gross profit margins were 19.0%, 19.6% and 21.8% in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.  This downward trend is due primarily to increased sales of
microprocessors, which have lower gross margins<PAGE>
than other products sold in 
the Company's product line, and the competitive environment in the 
electronic distribution marketplace.  However, as described below, decreases 
in operating expenses as a percentage of sales more than offset the impact of 
declining gross profit margins, resulting in sequentially higher
operating income as a percentage of sales during the last three years.

      Although operating expenses in absolute dollars were sequentially higher
during the last three years, they decreased significantly as a percentage of
sales and as a percentage of gross profit on a sequential basis.  Excluding the
1994 special charge referred to below, the Company reduced operating expenses as
a percentage of sales to 12.9% in 1995 as compared with 14.3% and 17.2% in 1994
and 1993, respectively.  Operating expenses as a percentage of gross profit were
68.0% in 1995 as compared with 73.1% and 78.9% in 1994 and 1993, respectively. 
This improvement was due to the Company's continuing efforts toward improving
operating efficiencies and the economies of scale and synergies resulting from
the acquisition of Hall-Mark.  As a result, operating income in 1995 was a 
record $261.5 million as compared with $187.5 million (before special 
charges) and $102.8 million in 1994 and 1993, respectively.  Operating income 
as a percentage of sales increased to 6.1% in 1995 as compared 
with 5.3% and 4.6% in 1994 and 1993, respectively.

      During the first quarter of 1994, the Company recorded a special charge of
$22.7 million ($13.5 million after-tax) for restructuring and integration costs
associated with the July 1, 1993 acquisition of Hall-Mark and the restructuring
of the Electrical and Industrial Group.  These costs included accruals for
severance, real and personal property lease terminations, relocation of
employees, inventory adjustments related to supplier terminations and other
items. 

      Investment and other income was $5.1 million in 1995 as compared with $4.8
million and $20.4 million in 1994 and 1993, respectively.  The substantial
decrease in 1995 and 1994 as compared with 1993 was due primarily to a reduction
in investment income as the Company liquidated its marketable securities
portfolio to fund a portion of the acquisition cost of Hall-Mark.  
      Interest expense was $23.2 million in 1995, as compared with $14.7 million
and $9.0 million in 1994 and 1993, respectively.  The increase in interest
expense over the last two years is primarily attributable to an increase in
borrowings to fund the additional working capital requirements needed to support
the growth in business and to fund the Company's acquisition program, as well as
to an increase in interest rates.

      The Company's effective tax rate was 42.4% in 1995 as compared with 43.1%
(before taking into account the cumulative effect of the change in the method of
accounting for income taxes) and 39.5% in 1994 and 1993, respectively.  The
increase in 1995 and 1994 as compared with 1993 was due primarily to the impact
of the non-deductible amortization of goodwill (which amount rose significantly
as a result of the Hall-Mark acquisition), the 1% increase, from 34% to 35%, in
the U.S. federal statutory tax rate 
<PAGE>
and the $0.5 million recorded in 1994 for the impact of the retroactive increase
in federal income tax rates enacted in fiscal 1994 as it related to fiscal 1993
income.  The 0.7% decrease in 1995 as compared with 1994 was due primarily to 
the significant increase in pre-tax income as compared with the relatively small
increase in the amount of non-deductible goodwill amortization.

      As a result of the above, net income in 1995 was a record $140.3 million
as compared with the $102.1 million (before special charges) and $69.1 million
in 1994 and 1993, respectively.  Net income as a percentage of sales was 3.3% in
1995 as compared with 2.9% (before special charges) and 3.1% in 1994 and 1993,
respectively.  During the first quarter of 1994, the Company recorded special
charges of $16.8 million after-tax.  These charges included $13.5 million-after-
tax for restructuring and integration costs associated with the acquisition of
Hall-Mark and the restructuring of the Electrical and Industrial Group and $0.5
million for the impact of the retroactive increase in federal income tax rates
enacted in fiscal 1994 as it related to fiscal 1993 income.  Additionally, in 
the first quarter of 1994, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" and
recognized a charge for the cumulative effect of the change in accounting
principle in the amount of $2.8 million.  After  those special charges, net
income in 1994 was $85.3 million.

      As the Company has continued to increase its investment in foreign
operations, the impact associated with the volatility of foreign currency
exchange rates has become more apparent.  The translation into U.S. dollars of
the financial statements of the Company's foreign subsidiaries resulted in a
$10.5 million and $4.6 million credit in 1995 and 1994, respectively, and a 
$20.1 million charge in 1993 which, in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles, were recorded directly to shareholders' equity.  
The credits in 1995 and 1994 were due primarily to the strengthening of the 
French, German, Swedish and U.K. currencies against the U.S. dollar and 
the charge in 1993 was due primarily to the weakening of the U.K., 
French and Swedish currencies against the U.S. dollar.

Electronic Marketing

      The Electronic Marketing Group's sales in 1995 were $3.873 billion, or 90%
of consolidated sales, up 23% as compared with sales of $3.162 billion, or 89%
of consolidated sales, in 1994.  Each of the Group's operating units posted
double digit percentage sales increases in 1995 as compared with 1994.  Of the
$711 million sales increase, $119 million was contributed by operations acquired
during 1995.  Without such sales, the Group's sales would have been 
approximately 19% higher than in 1994.  Sales of Hamilton Hallmark, the 
largest unit in the Group, the Computer Marketing Group, Time Electronics and 
Allied were up 11%,27%, 10% and 29%, respectively, as compared with 1994 
sales.  The Group's International operations outside of North America had 
sales of $734 million, up almost 50% as compared with 1994.

      The Group's 1994 sales were $3.162 billion up 65% as compared
<PAGE>
with sales of $1.917 billion, or 86% of consolidated, in 1993 and up almost 19%
when 1993 sales are adjusted proforma to include Hall-Mark's comparable period
sales.  The increase in sales in 1994 was due to growth at Hamilton Hallmark,
primarily as a result of the acquisition of Hall-Mark, and growth in the 
Computer Marketing Group and European operations.  Sales of Hamilton 
Hallmark, the largest unit in the Group, and the Computer Marketing Group 
were up 13% and 15% respectively, as compared with 1993 sales adjusted to 
include Hall-Mark on a proforma basis.  The Group's European operations 
had sales of almost $500 million, up over 60% as compared with 1993.  
Excluding the 1994 sales of Avnet Adelsy and Avnet DeMico, which were 
acquired in 1994, and the 1994 and 1993 sales of Avnet E2000, which was 
acquired in mid-1993, sales for the Group's European
operations in 1994 were up over 40% as compared with 1993.  Allied Electronics,
which was acquired as part of the Hall-Mark acquisition, experienced a 25%
increase in sales in 1994 as compared with 1993.  Sales of Time Electronics were
up almost 7% during the same period.

      In 1995, sales of semiconductors, computer products, connectors, and
passives and electromechanical devices were higher than in 1994, representing
62%, 19%, 10% and 9%, respectively, of Group sales as compared with 64%, 18%, 
10% and 8%, respectively, in 1994.

      The Electronic Marketing Group's gross profit margins were lower by 0.5%
of sales in 1995 as compared with 1994, which in turn were lower by about 2.0%
of sales as compared with 1993.  These sequential reductions were due primarily
to competitive pressures and increasing sales of lower margin microprocessors.
However, increased operating efficiencies due to the economies of scale and
synergies resulting from the Hall-Mark acquisition and the Company's continued
emphasis on cost reduction resulted in decreases in operating expenses (before
special charges) as a percentage of sales.  These sequential decreases in
operating expenses as a percentage of sales more than offset the decrease in
gross margins in 1995 as compared with 1994 and in 1994 as compared with 1993. 
The Group's effective tax rate increased from 1993 due primarily to the impact
of the increase in the non-deductible amortization of goodwill from the 
Hall-Mark
acquisition and the 1% increase in the U.S. federal statutory tax rate.  Net
income of the Group in 1995 was $130.6 million as compared with $94.6 million
(before special charges) and $67.0 million in 1994 and 1993, respectively.  The
Group's net profit margins were 3.4%, 3.0% (before special charges) and 3.5% in
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

      In the first quarter of 1994, the Group's results were negatively impacted
by special charges of $11.8 million after-tax for restructuring and integration
costs associated with the acquisition of Hall-Mark and $0.5 million for the
impact of the retroactive increase in federal income tax rates enacted in 1994
as it related to 1993 income.  Net income of the Group in 1994 after the $12.3
million after-tax special charges was $82.3 million.

 Video Communications

      Group sales in 1995 were $246.0 million compared with $199.4 million and
$134.0 million in 1994 and 1993, respectively, and represented about 6% of
consolidated sales in each of those three years.  The $46.6 million, or 23%,
increase in 1995 sales as compared with 1994 was primarily the result of a
significant increase in the sales of DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite) antennas,
whereas the $65.4 million, or 49%, increase in 1994 sales as compared with 1993
was primarily the result of a significant increase in the sales of modular
descrambler equipment.  Gross profit margins in 1995 were higher than in 1994 
and 1993 due to the increase in sales of higher margin DBS antennas. Operating
expenses as a percentage of sales also trended downward in the last three years
as a result of the significant increase in sales.

      Net income of the Group in 1995 was $10.1 million as compared with $6.1
million and $1.8 million in 1994 and 1993, respectively.  The Group's net profit
margins were 4.1%, 3.0% and 1.3% in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

Electrical and Industrial

      Group sales in 1995 were $181.0 million as compared with $186.8 million 
and $186.7 million in 1994 and 1993, respectively.  Group sales represented 
about 4% of consolidated sales in 1995 as compared with 5% and 8% in the prior 
two years, respectively.  During the third quarter of 1995, the Company 
disposed of its Freeman Products operation without any material impact on net
income.  In July 1995, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the motor, 
motor repair shop and OEM distribution business of Brownell Electro, Inc.  
The Company will retain the Avnet Industrial and Avnet Supply businesses.  
The disposition, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 1996, 
is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial 
condition or results of operations. The Group posted a net loss of 
$0.4 million in 1995 as compared with net income of $1.4 million 
(before a $1.7 million after-tax restructuring charge) and $0.3
million in 1994 and 1993, respectively.  The Group's net profit (loss) margin
was (0.3%) in 1995 as compared with 0.7% (before restructuring charges) 
and 0.2% in 1994 and 1993, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Over the last three years, cash generated from income before depreciation,
amortization and other non-cash items amounted to $420.7 million.  During that
period, $333.7 million was used for working capital needs resulting in $87.0
million of net cash flows from operations.  In addition, $150.9 million, net, 
was needed for other normal business operations including purchases of property,
plant and equipment ($87.1 million) and dividends ($69.4 million), offset by 
cash generated from other immaterial items ($5.6 million).  This resulted 
in $63.9 million being used for normal business operations.  During that 
three-year period, the Company also used $498.6 million, net, for 
acquisitions, the redemption and repurchase of debentures and the repayment 
of other debt.  This overall use of cash of $562.5 million was financed by 
$299.8
<PAGE>
million raised from additional borrowings, $255.1 million generated from the
liquidation of interest-bearing investments and the use of $7.6 million of
available cash.

      In 1995, the Company generated $200.2 million from income before
depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items, and used $185.8 million for
working capital needs resulting in $14.4 million of net cash flows from
operations.  In addition, the Company used $65.5 million for other normal
business operations including purchases of property, plant and equipment ($50.5
million) and dividends ($18.3 million), offset by cash generated from other
immaterial items ($3.3 million).  This $51.1 million of cash needed for normal
business operations and the $59.5 million of cash used for acquisitions and the
payment of other debt were funded by $106.1 million of additional borrowings and
$4.5 million of available cash.

      In 1994, the Company generated $124.0 million from income before
depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items, and used $102.0 million for
working capital needs resulting in $22.0 million of net cash flows from
operations.  The use of funds for working capital was significantly higher than
in prior years due primarily to a large increase in receivables as a result of
a 59% increase in sales in 1994 as compared with 1993.  In addition, the Company
used $48.3 million for other normal business operations including purchases of
property, plant and equipment ($21.4 million)and dividends ($29.7 million),
offset by cash generated from other immaterial items ($2.8 million).  This $26.3
million of cash needed for normal business operations and the $333.4 million of
cash used for the acquisitions of Hall-Mark, Avnet Adelsy and Avnet DeMico and
the repayment of other debt were funded by $193.7 million of additional
borrowings and $166.0 million of available cash.

      The Company's quick assets at June 30, 1995 totaled $763.0 million as
compared with $627.4 million at July 1, 1994.  At June 30, 1995, quick assets
exceeded the Company's current liabilities by $295.8 million as compared with a
$251.4 million excess at the end of 1994.  Working capital at June 30, 1995 was
$1.057 billion compared with $888.0 million at July 1, 1994.  At June 30, 1995,
to support each dollar of current liabilities, the Company had $1.63 of quick
assets and $1.63 of other current assets, for a total of $3.26 as compared with
$3.36 at the end of the prior fiscal year.

      In 1995, the Company renegotiated its revolving credit agreement with a
syndicate of banks led by NationsBank of North Carolina, N.A.  The previous
agreement had been established during 1994 and provided a three-year facility
with a $150.0 million line of credit.  The new agreement provides a five-year
facility with a line of credit of up to $300.0 million (the "Credit Facility"). 
The Company may select from various interest rate options and maturities under
this facility.  The facility will serve as a primary funding vehicle as well as
a backup for the Company's recently established commercial paper program. 
Subsequent to the end of the fiscal year, the Company amended the Credit 
Facility to increase the line of credit to $400.0 million.
<PAGE>
 
In January 1994, the Company filed a registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission which provides for borrowings of up to $200
million in public debt.  On March 15, 1994, the Company completed a $100 million
public offering of its 6 7/8% Notes Due March 15, 2004 (the "6 7/8% Notes"), the
net proceeds of which, totaling $98.8 million, were used to pay down a portion
of the Company's outstanding bank debt.

      At June 30, 1995, the Company had $201.1 million outstanding under the
Credit Facility together with the $100.0 million of the 6 7/8% Notes, $105.3
million of 6% Convertible Debentures and $13.1 million of other debt.  This
$419.5 million of total debt at June 30, 1995 represents an increase of $116.4
million over the $303.1 million outstanding at July 1, 1994.  As a result, the
Company's debt to capital (shareholders' equity plus total debt) ratio was 25%
at June 30, 1995 as compared with 21% at July 1, 1994.  In 1995, income was more
than eight times greater than fixed charges.  Internally generated cash flow
during 1995, represented by net income before depreciation, amortization and
other non-cash items, was $200.2 million or 48% of total debt at June 30, 1995.

      During the last three years, the Company's capital rose $646.0 million to
a total of $1.659 billion at June 30, 1995.  Shareholders' equity increased by
$402.2 million to $1.239 billion; $170.6 million due to the issuance of Avnet
stock and stock options in connection with the acquisition of Hall-Mark, $224.5
million from earnings, net of dividends, reinvested in the business, and by $7.1
million, net, of other items.  Total debt increased by $243.8 million.

      Subsequent to the end of the fiscal year, in August 1995, the Company
notified its Debentureholders of its decision to call for redemption on 
September 15, 1995 the entire amount of outstanding 6% Convertible Subordinated 
Debentures Due 2012 (the "Debentures").  Holders of $105.2 million of the 
Debentures
exercised their rights to convert the Debentures into shares of Avnet common
stock at a conversion price of $43.00 principal amount per share, thereby
increasing shareholders' equity by $105.2 million.  The remaining outstanding
Debentures, amounting to $0.1 million, were redeemed on September 15, 1995, at
a premium of 1.2% plus accrued interest, although some outstanding debentures
have not yet been physically surrendered. As a result, outstanding shares have
increased by approximately 2.4 million shares to 43.3 million as of September
15, 1995.  Had this occurred on June 30, 1995, the Company's debt to capital 
ratio would have declined to approximately 19% from 25%.

      At June 30, 1995 the Company did not have any material commitments for
capital expenditures.  The Company and the former owners of a Company-owned site
in Oxford, North Carolina have entered into a Consent Decree and Court Order 
with
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the environmental clean-up of the
site, the cost of which, according to the EPA's remedial investigation and
feasibility study, is estimated to be approximately $6.3 million, exclusive of
the $1.5 million in EPA past costs paid by the potentially responsible parties
(PRP's).  Pursuant to a Consent Decree and Court Order entered into between the
Company and the former owners, the former owners have agreed to<PAGE>
bear at least 
70% of the clean-up costs of the site, and the Company will be
responsible for not more than 30% of those costs.  As noted in Item 3 of this
Report, the Company is also a PRP in an environmental clean-up at a site in 
North
Smithfield, Rhode Island.  In addition, the Company has received notice from a
third party of its intention to seek indemnification for costs it may incur in
connection with an environmental clean-up at a site in Rush, Pennsylvania
resulting from the alleged disposal of wire insulation material at the site by
a former unit of the Company.   Based upon the information known to date, the
Company believes that it has appropriately accrued in the financial statements 
for its share of the costs of the clean-up at these sites.  The Company is also
a PRP or has been notified of claims made against  it at environmental clean-up
sites in Huguenot, New York and in Hempstead, New York.  At this time, the
Company cannot estimate the amount of its potential liability, if any, 
for-clean-up costs in connection with these sites, but does not anticipate 
that these matters or any other contingent matters will have a material 
adverse impact on
the Company's financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

      The Company is not now aware of any commitments, contingencies or events
within its control which may significantly change its ability to generate
sufficient cash from internal or external sources to meet its needs.

Note:    Just prior to the filing of this report, on September 15, 1995, the
         Company acquired setron Schiffer-Electronik GmbH & CO. KG, an
         electronic distribution company headquartered in Germany.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Avnet, Inc.
Great Neck, New York

   We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Avnet, 
Inc. (a New
York corporation) and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 1995 and July 1, 1994,
and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and 
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1995.  
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 financial position of Avnet, Inc. and 
Subsidiaries as of June 30, 1995 and July 1, 1994, and the results of 
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the 
period ended June 30, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting 
principles.

   Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic 
financial statements taken as a whole.  The schedule listed in the 
index of financial statements is presented for purposes of complying with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of the 
basic financial statements.  This schedule has been subjected to the auditing 
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, 
in our opinion, fairly states in all material respects the financial
data required to be set forth therein in relation to the 
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.    Summary of significant accounting policies:

      Principles of consolidation - The statements include the accounts of the 
      Company and all of its subsidiaries.  All intercompany accounts and
      transactions have been eliminated.

      Inventories - Stated at cost (first-in, first-out) or market, whichever is
      lower.

      Depreciation - Depreciation is generally provided for by the straight-line
      method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

      Income taxes - No provision for U.S. income taxes has been made for
      $76,514,000 of cumulative unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries
      because those earnings are expected to be permanently reinvested outside
      the U.S.  If such earnings were remitted to the U.S., any net U.S. income
      taxes would not have a material impact on the results of operations of the
      Company.

      Statement of cash flows - The Company considers all highly liquid debt
      instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash
      equivalents.  The prior years' statements were restated to conform with
      the current year presentation in that the effect of exchange rate changes
      on cash and cash equivalents, previously included in the line "payables,
      accruals and other, net", is now shown separately.


      Goodwill - Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the
      fair value of net assets acquired.  Except for an immaterial amount of
      goodwill applicable to purchases made before October 31, 1970, goodwill is
      being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years.  The Company
      continually evaluates the carrying value and the remaining economic useful
      life of  all goodwill, and will adjust the carrying value and the related
      amortization period if and when appropriate.

      Earnings per share - In computing earnings per share for the years
      presented, the 6% Convertible Subordinated Debentures were not considered
      common equivalent shares in 1994 because they would have been anti-
      dilutive.  The 8% Convertible Subordinated Debentures, which were fully
      redeemed during 1993, were not considered common equivalent shares in 
      1993 as they would have been anti-dilutive.

      Fiscal Year - Effective in fiscal 1994, the Company changed its fiscal
      year to end on the Friday closest to June 30th.  The impact 
      in fiscal 1994  of one additional day of operations was not material.  
      Unless otherwise noted, all references to the "year 1995" or 
      any other "year" shall mean the Company's fiscal year.
      

2.    Acquisitions:

      Since July 1, 1994, the Company has completed eight acquisitions for the
      Electronic Marketing Group - three each in the United States and Europe
      and two in the Asia/Pacific region.  Seven of these acquisitions were
      completed during 1995 and one was completed subsequent to June 30, 1995. 
      All acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


2.    Acquisitions (Continued):

      In July 1994, the Company acquired Penstock, Inc., the leading technical
      specialist distributor of microwave and radio frequency products and
      value-added services in the United States.  In December 1994, the Company
      completed its acquisition of the Flippin, Arkansas cable assembly
      operation of LaBarge, Inc.  This operation, now known as Avnet Cable
      Technologies, provides cable assemblies to major computer and medical
      equipment manufacturers as well as to other users of complex cable
      assemblies.

      In January 1995, the Company acquired Lyco Limited, an Ireland-based
      electronics components distributor and provider of programming services,
      and also acquired a 70% interest in WKK Semiconductors, Ltd., a Hong-Kong-
      based electronic components distributor with operations in Hong Kong and
      the People's Republic of China.  In April 1995, the Company acquired CK
      Electronique, the largest independent programming company in France, which
      provides various services including component programming, testing and
      taping.  In April 1995, the Company completed the acquisition of-BFI-
      IBEXSA International, Inc., the leading pan-European technical specialist
      distributor of microwave and radio frequency components, magnetic sensors,
      connecting devices and other specialty components.  In May 1995, the
      Company completed the acquisition of Sertek, Inc., a leading technical
      specialist distributor of microwave and radio frequency products in the
      southwest United States.

      Cash expended (net of cash on the books of the companies acquired) in 1995
      relating to these acquisitions totaled approximately $70,000,000.  In the
      aggregate, the operations acquired during 1995 had sales totaling
      approximately $170,000,000 during the  fiscal year of each such operation
      immediately preceding its acquisition.  The historical results of
      operations of the companies acquired would not have had a material effect
      on the Company's results of operations in 1994 and 1995, on a proforma   
      basis.

      Subsequent to the end of the fiscal year, in July 1995, the Company
      completed the acquisition of VSI Electronics consisting of VSI Electronics
      (Australia) PTY Ltd., an Australian electronic components distributor and
      VSI Electronics (NZ) Ltd., a New Zealand based electronic components
      distributor.

      On July 1, 1993, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the stock
      of Hall-Mark Electronics Corporation, the nation's third largest
      distributor of electronic components, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of
      Merger dated April 20, 1993.  Each share of Hall-Mark common stock was
      exchanged for $20 in cash and 0.45 shares of Avnet common stock, which had
      a market value of $34.1875 per share on July 1, 1993.  The total cost of
      the acquisition including expenses was approximately $496,559,000,
      consisting of the cost for the Hall-Mark common stock of $218,409,000 in
      cash, $166,093,000 in Avnet stock and $2,532,000 in Avnet stock options
      (net of related tax benefits of $1,950,000), and the cost for the
      refinancing of Hall-Mark bank debt of $109,525,000.  The $327,934,000 of
      funding required to complete the transaction was financed through cash on
      hand, proceeds from the exercise of Hall-Mark options and warrants, and

2.    Acquisitions (Continued):

      borrowings under a credit facility with NationsBank of North Carolina,
      N.A.  The transaction was accounted for as a purchase.  Had the
      acquisition been completed as of July 1, 1992, 1993 sales, net income and
      earnings per share for the Company on a proforma basis would have been
      $2,982,000,000, $79,000,000 and $1.93 per share, respectively (unaudited).

      During  1994, the Company also acquired Avnet Adelsey and Avnet DeMico,
      two Italy based electronic component distributors.  The total investment
      for acquisitions in 1994 was $501,831,000 (net of $8,719,000 of cash on
      the books of the companies acquired), of which $333,206,000 was paid in
      cash, $166,093,000 in Avnet stock and $2,532,000 in Avnet stock options
      (net of related tax benefits of $1,950,000).

      In 1993 the Company acquired Avnet Nortec, a Scandinavian electronics
      distributor, and Avnet E2000, a German electronics distributor, for a
      total cash investment of $36,491,000.

      In June 1995, the Company renegotiated its revolving credit agreement with
      a syndicate of banks led by NationsBank of North Carolina, N.A.  The
      previous agreement had been established during 1994 and provided a-three-
      year facility with a $150,000,000 line of credit.  The new agreement
      provides a five-year facility with a line of credit of up to $300,000,000 
      at floating rates of interest (6.4% at June 30, 1995).  Similarly, the
      prior facility also provided for floating rates of interest (4.6% at July
      1, 1994).

      During 1994, the Company also raised $100,000,000 (before deducting
      underwriting fees and other costs) in the public market by issuing the
      6 7/8% Notes due March 15, 2004.

      Annual payments on external financing in 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000
      will be $493,000, $390,000, $389,000, $222,000 and $210,268,000,
      respectively.

7.    Income taxes:

      Effective July 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
      Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109 "Accounting for Income
      Taxes" and recognized a charge for the cumulative effect of the change in
      accounting principle in the amount of $2,791,000 ($.07 per share).  SFAS
      No. 109 requires the use of the asset and liability method for recording
      deferred income taxes wherein deferred tax assets and liabilities are
      recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to
      differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
      liabilities.  It also requires the Company to adjust deferred income tax
      balances to reflect changes in current income tax rates and to record the
      impact of a change in tax rates in the income statement in the period that
      the change is enacted.

      A reconciliation between the federal statutory tax rate and the effective
      tax rate is:

      The components of the provision for income taxes are indicated in the next

      results from timing differences arising principally from inventory
      valuation, accounts receivable valuation and depreciation.

7.    Income taxes (Continued):

      The 1994 tax provision includes an additional $500,000 federal tax
      provision for the impact of the retroactive increase in federal income tax
      rates enacted in 1994 as it related to  1993 income.  In addition,
      $10,786,000 of income tax benefit, net, was recorded as an adjustment to
      goodwill for the tax impact of adjustments to the value of assets and
      liabilities acquired in connection with the acquisition of Hall-Mark
      Electronics.

      The significant components of deferred tax assets and liabilities included
      on the balance sheet as of the beginning and end of 1995 were as follows:

                                                          June 30,    July 1,

8.    Pension and profit sharing plans:

      During the three years ended June 30, 1995, the following amounts were
      charged (credited) to income under the Company's pension plan, 401(k) plan
      and a discretionary profit sharing plan:

                                                         Years Ended          
                                                June 30,    July 1,   June 30,
      (Thousands)                                 1995       1994       1993

      The Company's noncontributory defined benefit pension plan and its 401(k)
      plan cover substantially all domestic employees, except for those at one
      unit covered by a profit sharing plan.  The noncontributory pension plan
      was amended as of January 1, 1994 to provide defined benefits pursuant to
      a cash balance feature whereby a participant accumulates a benefit based
      upon a percentage of current salary, which varies with age, and interest
      credits.  At June 30, 1995, the market value of the pension plan assets
      was $118,024,000 and these assets were comprised of U.S. Government
      securities (47%), common stocks (27%), money market funds (21%) and
      corporate debt obligations (5%).

8.    Pension and profit sharing plans (Continued):

      In each of the last three years, the assumed interest rate and the
      expected return on plan assets were 8% while assumed salary increases were
      approximately 6% in 1993. Under the cash balance plan adopted during 
      1994, service costs are based solely on current year salary levels;
      therefore, projected salary increases are not taken into account. The
      pertinent calculations covering the pension credits, obligations and
      prepaid pension cost are summarized below:

8.    Pension and profit sharing plans (Continued):

      The absence of a future salary assumption amount and the large unamortized
      prior service credit for the years ended June 30, 1995 and July 1, 1994
      are due to the adoption of the cash balance plan.  Not included in the
      above tabulations are pension plans of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries which
      are not material.


 9.   Long-term leases:

      The Company leases many of its operating facilities and is also committed
      under lease agreements for transportation and operating equipment.  Rent
      expense charged to operations for the three years ended June 30, 1995 is
      as follows:

10.   Stock Option and incentive programs (Continued):

      Under the non-qualified plan, the excess of the fair market value at the 
      date of grant over the exercise price is considered deferred compensation 
      which is amortized and charged against income as it is earned.

    In November 1994, the shareholders of the Company approved the 1994 Avnet
    Incentive Stock Program (the "1994 Program"). The 1994 Program supplements,
    will eventually replace, and is substantially similar to the already
    existing Avnet Incentive Stock Program (the "Existing Program"), which
    expires by its terms on October 31, 1995.  Under the 1994 Program, a
    maximum of 350,000 shares of Avnet common stock may be awarded.  As of June
    30, 1995, no shares have been awarded under the 1994 Program and 211,478
    shares are still available for award under the Existing Program based on
    operating achievements.  Delivery of  incentive shares under both programs
    is spread equally over a four-year period and is subject to the employee's
    continuance in the Company's employ.  As of June 30, 1995, 56,685 shares
    previously awarded under the Existing Program have not yet been delivered.

    At June 30, 1995, 5,167,618 common shares were reserved for stock option
    and stock incentive programs and conversion of debentures.

11. Contingent liabilities:

    From time to time, the Company may become liable with respect to pending
    and threatened litigation, taxes and environmental and other matters.  The
    Company has been designated a potentially responsible party or has had
    other claims made against it in connection with environmental clean-ups at
    several sites.  Based upon the information known to date, the Company
    believes that it has appropriately reserved for its share of the costs of
    the clean-ups and it is not anticipated that any contingent matters will
    have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition,
    liquidity or results of operations.


12. Additional cash flow information:

    Other non-cash and reconciling items primarily include provisions for
    doubtful accounts and gains and losses on dispositions of marketable
    securities.

    Due to the change in the Company's fiscal year (see Note 1) and its
    historical dividend payment dates, the fiscal year ended July 1, 1994
    includes the cash payment of the July 1, 1994 dividend.  This results in 
    the inclusion of three quarterly dividend payments in 1995, the inclusion
    of five quarterly dividend payments in 1994 and the absence of an unpaid
    dividend at the end of 1994.
 
    The net cash disbursed in each of the three years in connection with
    acquisitions (See Note 2), as well as the net cash collected in those years
    from  dispositions, are reflected as "cash flows from acquisition of
    operations, net".

    Interest and income taxes paid were as follows:


                                                        Years Ended          
                                               June 30,     July 1,   June 30,
    (Thousands)                                  1995        1994       1993 

    Interest                                   $23,279     $12,622    $12,819
    Income taxes                                94,167      58,128     40,513

13. Restructuring and integration charges:

    During the first quarter of 1994, the Company recorded a special charge of
    $22,702,000 ($13,498,000 after tax or $0.33 per share) for restructuring
    and integration costs associated with the July 1, 1993 acquisition of-Hall-
    Mark and the restructuring of the Electrical and Industrial Group.  These
    costs included accruals for severance, real and personal property lease
    terminations, relocation of employees, inventory adjustments related to
    supplier terminations and other items.  As of the end of fiscal 1995,
    approximately $3,100,000 of the charge has not yet been utilized. The
    remaining balance is due primarily to long-term real estate lease and
    severance commitments.

14. Segment and geographic information:

    The Company operates primarily in one industry segment through its
    Electronic Marketing Group, which distributes electronic components and
    computer products.  For each of the last two years, the Electronic Marketing
    Group's sales, operating income and identifiable assets were greater than
    85% of the comparable consolidated totals.  For the years presented, the
    Company's other two industry segments, the Video Communications Group and
    the Electrical and Industrial Group, individually accounted for less than
    10% of the Company's consolidated sales, operating income and identifiable
    assets. Geographic information is as follows:

(A) In computing earnings per share, common shares issuable upon the exercise of
  outstanding stock options have been considered as common equivalent shares.
  In computing earnings per share in fiscal 1994, the 6% Convertible 
  Subordinated Debentures were not considered common equivalent shares because 
  they would have been anti-dilutive.  The 8% Convertible Subordinated 
  Debentures, which were fully redeemed during fiscal 1993, were not considered 
  common equivalent shares in fiscal 1993 as they would have been anti-dilutive.
