              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------




1.       FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Micro
         Warehouse, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") and have been
         prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
         Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote
         disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
         accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
         condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Although
         the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the
         information presented not misleading, these financial statements should
         be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the
         notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders
         which was filed as an exhibit to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
         year ended December 31, 1995.

         In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
         financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present
         fairly the financial position of the Company at June 30, 1996 and the
         results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended
         June 30, 1996 and 1995.

3.  BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On January 25, 1996, the Company completed a merger with Inmac Corp. ("Inmac").
Under the terms of the merger, the Company exchanged 3,033,682 common shares for
all of Inmac's 10,816,836 common shares in a transaction accounted for as a
pooling of interests. Accordingly, all historical financial information
contained in these financial statements has been restated to include Inmac. In
connection with this transaction, the Company has recorded restructuring charges
of $21.2 million comprised of: Personnel (severance) of $10.0 million,
facilities (leases and fixed asset write-offs) of $9.6 million and other of $1.6
million. Payments through June 30, 1996 have reduced this balance to $8.0
million. Management does not believe that the total restructuring charge will be
significantly different from what was originally recorded.

4.  EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE

During the first quarter of 1996, the Company recorded an extraordinary charge
of $1.6 million related to early extinguishment of debt (net of tax benefit of
$1.1 million) resulting from the mandatory prepayment of $20 million of Senior
Notes of Inmac, which action was caused by the merger. The extraordinary charge
consisted of a premium of $1.9 million paid on the redemption of the Senior
Notes and the write-off of deferred financing costs of $0.8 million.

5.  WRITE-OFF OF GOODWILL

Due to uncertainties in the Apple Macintosh marketplace, the Company reevaluated
the carrying value of goodwill in its Macintosh-only subsidiaries in Australia,
Denmark, Mexico and Switzerland. As a result of that evaluation, the Company
recorded a charge of $6.0 million, which amount represents all of the goodwill
on these subsidiaries' balance sheets.


ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

OVERVIEW
- --------

The Company sells computer products primarily through its two main catalogs,
MacWAREHOUSE and MicroWAREHOUSE. The Company has experienced significant growth
in its customer list, catalog mailings, sales and operating profitability since
its organization in 1987.

In late 1987, the Company introduced its MacWAREHOUSE catalog for users of
Macintosh computers. In 1989, the Company began distributing its first
MicroWAREHOUSE catalog for users of IBM-compatible PCs and instituted its
business-to-business outbound sales program. The Company also publishes targeted
catalogs namely, Data CommWAREHOUSE, directed to the data communications and
networking markets, Micro SystemsWAREHOUSE, offering microcomputer systems and
peripherals to the PC/Windows market and its newest specialty catalog, Mac
SystemsWAREHOUSE, offering Mac computer systems and peripherals to the Mac

                                        7

market. During 1995, the Company combined the CD-Rom and Home ComputerWAREHOUSE
catalogs with its core catalogs and discontinued its Paper design and Micro
SuppliesWAREHOUSE catalogs.

Over the past few years, the Company has expanded its international operations.
The Company commenced full-scale operations in the United Kingdom in 1991 and in
France and Germany in 1992. In 1993, the Company established a licensing
arrangement in Australia and acquired, through newly-formed foreign
subsidiaries, businesses with operations in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. During
1994, the Company acquired eight additional businesses with operations in
Holland, Belgium, Finland, Norway, Sweden, France, Mexico and Canada. The
Company also began operations in Japan. In 1995, the Company acquired
complimentary businesses in the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia (including
its licensee) and Switzerland. Micro Warehouse international catalog
distribution includes the MacWAREHOUSE, MicroWAREHOUSE and LanWAREHOUSE (the
European counterpart to the U.S. Data CommWAREHOUSE) catalogs.

In January, the Company acquired Inmac Corp. in a stock transaction accounted  
for as a pooling of  interests. Prior periods have been restated to include 
Inmac Corp. and all comparisons and discussions are based on the restated 
figures.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------


THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Net sales increased by $58.6 million or 15% to $437.2 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 from $378.6 million for the three months ended June
30, 1995. This increase in net sales was primarily attributable to continued
growth in the core domestic business which increased by 18% to $293.9 million.
There were 1,016,000 orders fulfilled from April 1 through June 30, 1996, which
compares to 1,012,000 during the same period last year.

Domestic Macintosh sales were up 14% to $167.6 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 from $147.3 million for the three months ended June 30,
1995. Domestic PC/Windows sales increased 40% to $106.8 million in 1996 from
$76.5 million in 1995. These sales increases were due to increases in the
average order size coupled with increased catalog circulation. The average order
size for the domestic Macintosh platform increased to $428 in 1996 from $376 in
1995, and the PC/Windows platform increased to $523 in 1996 from $427 in 1995.
The average order sizes increased due to an increase in the proportion of
hardware sales which typically have a higher per unit price than software sales.
Circulation of the MacWAREHOUSE catalog increased by 41% to approximately 11.2
million, the MicroWAREHOUSE circulation increased by 38% to approximately 8.7
million and the Inmac circulation increased by 9% to approximately 2.0 million
catalogs. The Company's business-to-business sales program, combining outbound
telemarketing and catalog mailings to selected commercial, governmental and
educational accounts, increased by 30% over the comparable period in 1995 and
represented approximately 59% of domestic net sales excluding Inmac for the
second quarter ended June 30, 1996. This increase was primarily due to increases

                                        8
<PAGE>

in the circulation of business-to-business catalogs, in outbound telemarketing
personnel and in penetration of existing accounts.

International sales decreased to 33% of net sales in the three months ended June
30, 1996 from 34% in the same period in 1995 but increased in total to $143.3
million from $129.9 million. The increase in dollars during the three months
ended June 30, 1996 was due primarily to increases in the average order value
and in the customer base. The decrease, as a percentage of net sales, was due to
Inmac having a higher percentage of international sales with lower growth rates.
The total international average order value increased 5.3% to $482.

Gross profit, which consists of net sales less product and transportation costs,
decreased as a percentage of net sales to 19.4% in 1996 from 21.9% during the
same period last year. The decrease in gross profit was due to a higher
proportion of hardware sales which are typically at lower margins, as a percent
of sales, than software sales. Hardware as a percent of total sales increased
from 68% in the second quarter of 1995 to 74% in the second quarter of 1996.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 3.1% to $66.1 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $64.1 million for the same period
in 1995, but decreased as a percentage of net sales to 15.1% from 16.9%. The
increase in dollars during the three months ended June 30, 1996 was due
primarily to an increase in fulfillment costs resulting from increases in sales
volume and promotional spending. The decrease, as a percentage of net sales, was
attributable to cost controls coupled with a higher average order size due to
the increased hardware sales.

Operating income for the second quarter of 1996 was $12.9 million as compared to
$18.9 million for the same period in 1995. The operating income in 1996 includes
a $6.0 million write-off of goodwill in the Company's Macintosh-only
subsidiaries. International operations during the second quarter of 1996
generated net country operating income of $2.0 million as compared to $4.7
million for the comparable period in 1995.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Net sales increased by $192.7 million or 25% to $951.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 from $758.9 million for the six months ended June 30,
1995. This increase in net sales was primarily attributable to an increase in
the circulation of both the MacWAREHOUSE and MicroWAREHOUSE catalogs.
Circulation of the MacWAREHOUSE catalog increased by 59% to 24.7 million and the
MicroWAREHOUSE catalog circulation increased by 38% to 17.5 million. The
Company's business-to-business sales program increased by 37% over the
comparable period in 1995, and represented approximately 38% of net sales for
the first six months of 1996. This increase was primarily due to an increase in
the circulation of business-to-business catalogs. International sales decreased
to 34% of net sales in the first six months of 1996 from 36% in the same period
in 1995 but increased in total to $324.0 million from $274.1 million. Also
contributing to the increase in net sales on a worldwide basis was the increase
in the average order size to $455 in 1996 from $381 in 1995. Total orders
fulfilled increased from 2,177,000 to 2,279,000.

<PAGE>

Gross profit decreased as a percentage of net sales to 19.6% in 1996 from 22.4%
during the same period last year. The decrease in gross profit was due to a
reduction in gross margins attributable to a higher proportion of hardware sales
which are typically at lower margins than software sales as well as a reduction
of Inmac gross margins which were made to improve its competitiveness. Hardware
as a percent of total sales increased from 65% in 1995 to 73% in 1996.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 9.2% to $141.8 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from $129.9 million for the same period
in 1995, but decreased as a percentage of net sales to 14.9% from 17.1%. The
increase in dollars during the first six months of 1995 was due primarily to an
increase in fulfillment costs resulting from increased sales volume and
increased promotional spending. The decrease, as a percentage of net sales, was
attributable to cost controls coupled with a higher average order size due to
the increased hardware sales.

Operating income for the first six months of 1996 was $11.5 million compared to
$40.3 million for the same period last year. The operating income in 1996
includes $27.3 million of restructuring and merger costs relating to the
acquisition of Inmac Corp. as well as a $6.0 million write-off of goodwill in
the Company's Macintosh-only subsidiaries. International operations generated a
net operating loss of $3.7 million in 1996 as compared to operating income of
$10.9 million for the first six months of 1995. The international net loss in
1996 includes $12.4 million of the total restructuring and merger costs.

Interest income totaled $0.4 million for the first six months of 1996 compared 
to $0.5 million for the first six months of 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

In October 1995, the Company completed a follow-on offering of its common stock
resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $50.8 million. As of June 30, 1996,
the Company had cash and short-term investments totaling $122.6 million.

Inventories decreased to $103.8 million at June 30, 1996 from $144.0 million at
December 31, 1995. Inventory turns increased to 12.7 at June 30, 1996 from 10.3
at June 30, 1995. Accounts receivable increased to $182.2 million at June 30,
1996 from $172.3 million at December 31, 1995. The days sales outstanding
increased to 46.0 days in 1996 from 43.8 days in 1995.

Capital expenditures for the first six months of 1996 and 1995 were $2.7 million
and $9.6 million, respectively, primarily for computer systems and distribution
equipment both in the United States and internationally. Although the Company's
primary capital needs will be to fund its working capital requirements for
expected sales growth, the Company expects that future growth will also require
continued expansion of its computer systems and distribution capacity. The
Company has a multi-currency borrowing facility for $75 million. The purpose of
this facility is to provide working capital financing for its foreign
subsidiaries in local currencies, thus limiting exposure to foreign exchange
fluctuation. Total borrowings as of June 30, 1996 under this arrangement were
$31.3 million. Additionally, at June 30, 1996 the Company had an unused line of

                                       10

<PAGE>

credit in the United States which provided for unsecured borrowings of up to
$15.0 million for working capital purposes. During 1996, the Company paid off
bank debts totaling $7.0 million by using funds from its cash and short-term
investments.

The Company believes that its existing cash reserves, cash flow from operations
and existing credit facilities will be sufficient to satisfy its operating cash
needs for at least the next 12 months. Thereafter, the Company may require
additional cash reserves.

OUTLOOK
- -------

The Company expects that the installed base of personal computers will continue
to expand but at slower rates than experienced in the past. Furthermore, Apple
Computer has experienced difficulties in the past two quarters. Although the Mac
business performed well for the Company in the 1996 first quarter with a growth
rate of 50%, this business softened considerably to approximately 12% in the
second quarter reflecting uncertainties in the Apple marketplace. The growth in
the installed base of personal computers, coupled with the Company's prospecting
activities for new customers should increase the Company's sales in the future.
Furthermore, the Company will continue to pursue acquisition opportunities that
should allow it to increase its customer base and product offerings.
