        UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  INTRODUCTION

     The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared to illustrate the effect of the merger of Marshall
into Avnet and include an unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement
of Income for the first quarter ended October 1, 1999 and an unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of October 1, 1999. The pro forma
financial statements are based on the historical consolidated financial
statements of Avnet as of and for the first quarter ended October 1, 1999 and
the historical consolidated financial statements of Marshall as of and for the
first quarter ended August 31, 1999.

     The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the
first quarter ended October 1, 1999 assumes that the merger had been consummated
as of the first day of the quarter presented (July 3, 1999), and the unaudited
Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of October 1, 1999 assumes
that the merger was consummated on October 1, 1999.

     The pro forma adjustments are based on the Amended and Restated Agreement
and Plan of Merger dated as of June 25, 1999, between Avnet and Marshall and
related agreements, under which Marshall shareholders received cash and/or Avnet
common stock for their shares of Marshall common stock. For purposes of
preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements,
the value of the Avnet common stock issued is based upon the average closing
price of Avnet common stock for a period commencing two trading days before and
ending two trading days after the October 12, 1999 measurement date, the day on
which the exchange ratio for the Avnet stock component of the purchase price was
determined pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and on the 16,687,614 shares of
Marshall common stock outstanding on the October 20, 1999 effective date of the
merger, plus the number of options on Marshall common stock outstanding on the
effective date which were converted to options on Avnet common stock. The
estimated aggregate amount to be allocated to the assets acquired consists of
(in thousands):

<TABLE>
<S>                                                           <C>
Avnet common shares issued to Marshall shareholders.........  $269,309
Cash paid to Marshall shareholders..........................   326,798
Avnet stock options (net of tax effect).....................     6,985
Estimated costs and expenses of the merger..................    11,500
                                                              --------
                                                              $614,592
                                                              ========
</TABLE>

     The pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary estimates, which are
derived from available information and certain assumptions. Although Avnet
believes, based on available information, that the fair values and allocation of
the merger consideration included in the unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated financial statements are reasonable estimates, final purchase
accounting adjustments will be made on the basis of future evaluations and
estimates. As a result, the final allocation of costs related to the merger may
differ significantly from that presented herein. The unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income excludes any potential benefits that
might result from the merger due to synergies that may be derived and from the
elimination of any duplicate costs. In addition, the pro forma adjustments do
not reflect possible acquisition related costs relating to restructuring,
integration, abandonment of assets and other similar items, which could result
in significant other charges. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
financial statements do not purport to be indicative of the results that
actually would have occurred if the merger occurred on October 1, 1999 or of
results which may be obtained in the future. The unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with (1) the
notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements
which appear in this report; (2) the historical condensed consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes for Marshall at August 31, 1999 and for the
first quarter then ended, which appear in Avnet's Current Report on Form 8-K
bearing cover date of October 20, 1999; and (3) the historical condensed
consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for Avnet at October 1,
1999 and for the quarter then ended, which appear in its Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the first quarter ended October 1, 1999.

                          NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
                  CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                    ($ IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

1. AVNET HISTORICAL FINANCIAL DATA

     The historical data presented represents the statement of income of Avnet
for the first quarter ended October 1, 1999 and the balance sheet of Avnet as of
October 1, 1999. The statement of income for the first quarter ended October 1,
1999 includes incremental special charges associated with the reorganization of
Avnet's Electronics Marketing European operations consisting primarily of costs
related to the consolidation of warehousing operations. The negative effect on
first quarter pre-tax income, net income and diluted earnings per share were
$6,112, $3,976 and $0.11, respectively. More detailed information can be found
in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes which appear
in Avnet's Form 10-Q for the first quarter ended October 1, 1999.

2. MARSHALL HISTORICAL FINANCIAL DATA

     The historical data presented represents the statement of income for the
first quarter ended August 31, 1999 and the balance sheet of Marshall as of
August 31, 1999. The amount included in the line entitled "Interest expense and
other -- net" in Marshall's consolidated statement of income for the first
quarter ended August 31, 1999 which is not interest expense has been
reclassified to "Other income (expense), net" on the Pro Forma Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Income.

3. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS -- CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME

     (a) Avnet expects to achieve operating efficiencies from the merger. It is
         anticipated that cost savings will result principally from such areas
         as warehousing, sales facilities, administration, operations and
         computer systems. Such anticipated cost savings have not been reflected
         in the accompanying pro forma condensed consolidated financial
         statements.

         In addition, the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement
         of Income does not reflect any sales attrition which may result from
         the merger or the portion of costs of the integration into Avnet of the
         Marshall business which will be charged to operations in fiscal 2000.
         Such one-time costs, which cannot be accurately estimated at this time,
         represent only those integration expenses related to Avnet. Costs
         related to Marshall as a result of the integration, which also cannot
         be accurately estimated at this time, will eventually be included in
         goodwill.

     (b) Adjustment to reflect the incremental amortization of estimated
         goodwill determined on a straight-line basis over 40 years resulting
         from the purchase accounting related to the merger amounting to $1,142.
         The amount of the incremental amortization of estimated goodwill takes
         into account the fact that the Marshall historical statements of income
         already include amortization of goodwill which will be part of the
         goodwill recorded by Avnet following the merger.
