         UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME

                                  INTRODUCTION

     The following Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of
Income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 has been prepared to illustrate
the effect of the merger of Marshall into Avnet. Avnet's actual consolidated
balance sheet at June 30, 2000 includes the impact of the October 20, 1999
acquisition of Marshall and accordingly, a pro forma balance sheet is not
applicable. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income
is based on the historical consolidated financial statements of Avnet for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 and the historical consolidated financial
statements of Marshall for the period covering July 1, 1999 through October 20,
1999, the date of the merger of Marshall into Avnet.

     The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 assumes that the merger had been consummated as
of the first day of Avnet's fiscal year 2000 (July 3, 1999).

     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 statement of income 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 other than those benefits actually realized
since the merger of Marshall into Avnet, which are included in Avnet's results
for the period from October 20, 1999, the date of the acquisition of Marshall,
through June 30, 2000. As indicated in Note 1 on page 4, Avnet's actual fiscal
year results include adjustments to reflect acquisition related costs relating
to restructuring, integration, abandonment of assets and other similar items in
connection with the acquisition of Marshall. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Income does not purport to be indicative of the
results that actually would have occurred if the merger occurred on July 3, 1999
or of results which may be obtained in the future. The Unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income should be read in conjunction with
(1) the Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of
Income 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 June 30,
2000 and for the fiscal year then ended, which appear in its Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000.

                    ($ IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

1. AVNET HISTORICAL FINANCIAL DATA

     The historical data presented represents the statement of income of Avnet
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000. The condensed consolidated statement
of income for Avnet for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 includes
incremental special charges associated with (a) the reorganization of it's
Electronics Marketing European operations amounting to $9,177, (b) the
integration of acquired businesses into Avnet amounting to $31,679, (c) the
reorganization of the Company's Electronics Marketing Asian operations
amounting to $5,409 and (d) costs incurred in connection with its lawsuit
against Wyle Laboratories, Inc. amounting to $2,699. The total amount of
special charges recorded in fiscal 2000 amounted to $48,964 pre-tax, $30,426
after-tax and $0.37 per share on a diluted basis. More detailed information can
be found in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes
which appear in Avnet's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000.

2. MARSHALL HISTORICAL FINANCIAL DATA

     The historical data presented represents the statement of income for the
period July 1, 1999 through October 20, 1999, the date of Avnet's acquisition of
Marshall. As permitted by regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
Marshall's operations for the month ended June 30, 1999 have been omitted from
the Unaudited Proforma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. Marshall's
sales, gross profit, operating income, income before taxes and net income for
the month of June 1999 were $143,487, $21,440, $5,409, $4,173 and $2,253,
respectively.

3. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

     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 other than those cost savings actually achieved
from the date of acquisition through June 30, 2000, the end of Avnet's fiscal
year, have not been reflected in the accompanying pro forma condensed
consolidated statement of income.

     (a) 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 $1,100.
         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.

     (b) Adjustment to reflect the net increase in interest expense and the
         decrease in interest income, based upon a presumption of, but not a
         commitment for, the execution of the transactions described below:

         to the deductible pro forma adjustments to the Condensed Consolidated

         the merger and additional diluted shares of 177,000 (or 354,000 shares
         as adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split to be distributed on
         September 28, 2000) relating to the conversion of Marshall stock
         options into Avnet stock options.

     (e) All share and per share data have been restated to reflect a
         two-for-one split of the Company's common stock, approved by the Board
         of Directors on August 31, 2000. These shares are to be distributed on
