Year Ended December 31, 1994 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1993

Net sales increased by $326.0 million or 72% to $776.4 million up from $450.4
million in 1993. The sales increase is attributable to strong growth in the core
domestic businesses: the Macintosh business was up 44% to $424.0 million, the
PC/Windows business which includes both the MicroWAREHOUSE and Micro
SystemsWAREHOUSE catalogs was up 57% to $156.1 million and specialty catalogs
contributed $72.0 million. With continued international expansion, international
sales were up 281% to $124.3 million.

The sales increase for the core businesses was due to increases in the active
customer base, up 45% for the Macintosh business and 55% for the PC/Windows
business coupled with increased catalog circulation in both business areas. The
increase in average order size to $306 from $247 due primarily to the increase
in hardware sales also contributed to the Company's sales performance. In
addition the Company's outbound sales programs to corporate customers increased
by 68% to $292.7 million.

International sales growth was attributable to a growth of 114% in the UK
operations as well as contributions from France, Germany and the Scandinavian
acquisitions. With the establishment of operations in additional countries, the
total European customer base increased by 286% and the number of catalogs
distributed grew by 180% to 4.2 million.

During 1994, the Company added two new specialty catalogs, Micro
SystemsWAREHOUSE and Home ComputerWAREHOUSE catalogs, to its existing specialty
catalogs comprising Data CommWAREHOUSE, CD-RomWAREHOUSE, Micro SuppliesWAREHOUSE
and Paper designWAREHOUSE, all of which contributed $72.0 million in sales in
1994.

Gross profit decreased to 17.6% of net sales from 19.3% in 1993. The decrease in
gross profit was due to reduced gross margins internationally, with
international becoming a greater proportion of total sales, coupled with a
higher proportion of hardware sales which are typically at lower margins than
software sales. Hardware as a percent of total sales increased from 35% in 1993
to 46% in 1994.


                                       4

RESTATED - SEE "INTRODUCTORY NOTE"

Selling, general and administrative ("S,G&A") expenses increased to $104.4
million from $64.6 million in 1993, but decreased as a percent of net sales to
13.4% from 14.4% in 1993. The decrease in S,G&A expenses as a percent of sales
was the result of cost controls coupled with increased sales and higher average
order size.

In 1994, the Company generated $1.6 million in interest income as compared to
$0.5 million in interest income in 1993. This change was due to the resources
provided by the public offerings in April and October of 1994. This is further
described below in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section.

Income before income taxes was $33.8 million or 4.4% of net sales as compared to
$22.6 million or 5.0% in 1993.

Net income increased to $20.2 million or $0.73 per share from $13.0 million in
1993, or $0.55 per share adjusted for a two-for-one stock split effective April
1994.

Year Ended December 31, 1993 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1992

Net sales increased by $180.8 million or 67% to $450.4 million up from $269.6
million in 1992. The sales increase is attributable to strong growth in the core
domestic businesses: Macintosh business was up 37% to $300.3 million, and the
PC/Windows business was up 98% to $99.5 million; with continued international
expansion, international sales were up 258% to $32.6 million; and additional
specialty catalogs contributed $18.0 million.

The sales increase for the core businesses was due to increases in the active
customer base, up 25% for the Macintosh business and 78% for the PC/Windows
business coupled with increased catalog circulation in both business areas. Also
contributing to the sales increase were the outbound telemarketing programs for
both Macintosh and PC/Windows which increased by 106% .

International sales growth was attributable to a growth of 100% in the UK
operations and the start up of business in France and Germany. With the
establishment of operations in the new countries, the total European customer
base increased by 132% and the number of catalogs distributed grew by 165% to
1.5 million.

During 1993, the Company launched four new specialty catalogs: Data
CommWAREHOUSE, CD-Rom WAREHOUSE, Micro SuppliesWAREHOUSE and Paper
designWAREHOUSE, all of which contributed $18.0 million in 1993.

Gross profit increased to 19.3% of net sales from 19.1% in 1992. The increase in
gross profit reflects the impact of higher margins in the specialty catalogs,
reduced freight costs, and higher margins from international operations somewhat
offset by the increase in the PC/Windows business as a proportion of total sales
which has lower margins than the Macintosh and specialty businesses.

There was no special incentive compensation paid in 1993, compared to $8.8
million in 1992. In 1992, this item represented the value of shares of common
stock transferred to a consultant and issued to an officer of the Company in
consideration for the termination of the incentive portions of their agreements
with the Company. In order to determine the amount to be recorded as
compensation expense as of the termination date, the Company engaged an
independent appraiser to estimate the fair market value per share of its common
stock. For all other periods, this item represented amounts paid to the
consultant and co-founder under agreements which were based on profitability.

S,G&A expenses increased to $64.6 million from $39.7 million in 1992, but
decreased as a percent of net sales to 14.4% from 14.7% in 1992. The decrease in
S,G&A expenses as a percent was the result of consolidating the warehouse and
distribution facilities in Wilmington, Ohio and from productivity gains
attributable to the investment of over $3 million in computer equipment.

In 1993, the Company generated $0.5 million in interest income as compared to
$1.3 million in interest expense in 1992. This change was due to the resources
provided by the initial public offering in December of 1992 and from 


                                       5

the follow-on offering in August of 1993. This is further described below in the
Liquidity and Capital Resources section.

Income before income taxes was $22.6 million or 5.0% of net sales as compared to
$1.6 million or 0.6% of net sales in 1992. The income in 1992 included a charge
of $8.8 million for special incentive compensation which was discussed above. No
similar charge occurred in 1993. Higher domestic income was partially offset by
losses in Europe which totaled $1.8 million in 1993 compared to a loss of $0.2
million in 1992.

Net income increased to $13.0 million or $0.55 per share from $5.9 million or
$0.33 per share in 1992, on a pro forma basis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In December 1992, the Company completed an initial public offering of its common
stock resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $53.2 million. In August 1993,
the Company completed a secondary offering of its common stock resulting in net
proceeds to the Company of $22.6 million. In April and October 1994, the Company
completed follow-on offerings of its common stock resulting in net proceeds to
the Company of $102.1 million. As of December 31, 1994, the Company had cash and
short-term investments totaling $74.5 million.

As a result of increased sales, the Company's inventories increased to $78.7
million at December 31, 1994 from $45.0 million at December 31, 1993, an
increase of 75% which is in line with the sales increase of 72%. Accounts
receivable increased to $80.8 million at December 31, 1994 from $44.1 million at
December 31, 1993. Accounts receivable have increased due to an increase in open
account purchases by commercial customers and an increase in advertising
receivables resulting from increased promotional activity.

Capital expenditures for the 12 months of 1994 and 1993 were $13.6 million and
$4.8 million, respectively, primarily for computer systems and distribution
equipment both in the United States and in Europe. During 1994, the Company
expanded its telemarketing facilities and its warehousing operation by over
287,000 square feet. Additionally, the Company installed or upgraded computer
systems in six countries. 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. At December 31, 1994, the Company had
existing credit facilities which provided for unsecured revolving credit lines
of up to $15 million and (pound)750,000 for working capital purposes. No
borrowings were outstanding under these facilities as of December 31, 1994.

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.

Impact of Inflation and Seasonality

The Company's results are subject to quarterly variations although, in the
opinion of management, these variations are not significant.

Sales growth tends to be stronger in the first and last quarters of the year
with the two middle quarters typically slower. The high growth quarters are
reflective of holiday buying as well as a customer receptiveness to prospecting.
The slower quarters are impacted by the summer months and a slowdown in buying
from schools and universities.

The cost associated with both paper and postage have risen significantly in the
past several months. The Company has taken a number of actions that have almost
completely offset these increases, such as to increase revenue yield per catalog
by using advertising space more efficiently and reducing expenses by improving
the publishing process using the latest digital color separation technology and
in some cases, by using thinner paper.

Outlook

The Company anticipates continued growth in the installed base of personal
computers both in business and in the home. This growth along with the Company's
strategy to expand internationally and to identify growth market opportunities
for specialty catalogs should increase the Company's sales in the future.

During 1994, international operations were expanded with the acquisition of
Macintosh catalogers in Finland, Holland, Belgium, Mexico and Canada; and
PC/Window catalogers in France, Norway and Sweden. Also, the Company launched a
new Macintosh catalog in Japan and added two new licensees in Chile and
Colombia. The Company's strategy is to further diversify its product offerings
and to start, acquire or license operations in other foreign markets in which
the Company currently does not operate, as well as to introduce additional
specialty catalogs.

Responsibility for Financial Statements

      The financial data in this report, including the audited financial
statements, have been prepared by management using the best available
information and applying judgement. Accounting principles used in preparing the
financial statements are those that are generally accepted in the United States.

      In meeting our responsibility for the integrity of the financial
statements, we maintain a system of internal controls designed to provide
reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded, that transactions are executed
in accordance with management's authorization and that the accounting records
provide a reliable basis for the preparation of the financial statements.
Management has also established a formal Business Code of Ethics which is
distributed throughout the Company. We acknowledge our responsibility to
establish and preserve an environment in which all employees properly understand
the fundamental importance of high ethical standards in the conduct of our
business.

      Our independent auditors are engaged to audit and to render an opinion on
the fairness in all material respects of our consolidated financial statements
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In
performing their audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards,
our independent auditors obtained a sufficient understanding of the Company's
internal accounting control structure to plan their audit and determine the
nature, timing and extent of tests to be performed.

      The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors meets with management and
our independent auditors to review accounting, auditing and financial matters.
Our Audit Committee is composed of only outside directors. This committee and
the independent auditors have free access to each other with or without
management being present.

Independent Auditors' Report

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Micro Warehouse, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Micro Warehouse,
Inc. as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 and the related consolidated statements of
income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three
year period ended December 31, 1994 (all as restated, see note 2). These
consolidated 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 audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Micro Warehouse,
Inc. as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31,
1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Micro Warehouse, Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1994 and 1993

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)

1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the Company and all subsidiaries.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in
consolidation.

Years prior to 1994 are adjusted for a two-for-one stock split effective April
1994.

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior years to the 1994
presentation.

Cash Equivalents

All repurchase agreements and highly liquid investments with initial maturities
of three months or less are considered cash equivalents.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist primarily of highly liquid tax exempt municipal
bonds.

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, "Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," (SFAS 115) and in
accordance with the principles thereunder, has classified all of its investments
as available-for-sale securities and has reported them at fair value, with net
unrealized gains and losses included in equity. See note 11 for a discussion of
the classification and reporting of these securities at December 31, 1994. In
1993, marketable securities were reported at cost which approximated fair market
value. For all investment securities, unrealized losses that are other than
temporary are recognized in earnings.

Inventories

Inventories (all finished goods) consist of software packages and peripheral
equipment, and are stated at cost (determined under the first-in, first-out cost
method) or market, whichever is lower.

Prepaid Catalog Costs and Deferred Revenue

The costs of producing and distributing catalogs are deferred and charged to
expense over the period that each catalog remains the most current selling
vehicle (generally one to two months). Vendors have the ability to place
advertisements in the catalogs for which the Company receives advertising
allowances and incentives. These revenues are recognized on the same basis as
the catalog costs.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment (including equipment acquired under capital
leases) are stated at cost and are depreciated using accelerated and
straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:

   Computer equipment                                5 years
   Furniture and fixtures                            7 years
   Leasehold improvements            Life of lease - 7 years
   Machinery and equipment                           5 years

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are stated at cost and are amortized using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:

   Trademarks                                        5 years
   Goodwill                                         40 years

Income Taxes

Through June 29,1992, the Company elected to be taxed as an S corporation for
federal (and certain states) income tax reporting purposes. Under this election,
the individual stockholders were deemed to have received a pro rata distribution
of the federal (or state) taxable income of the Company (whether or not an
actual cash distribution was made), which was included on their personal tax
returns. Accordingly, the provisions for income taxes prior to June 30, 1992 are
for state income taxes payable to states which do not recognize S corporation
status.

Effective June 30, 1992, the Company revoked its S corporation election and
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes" (SFAS 109) to determine the components of the provisions for
income taxes as a result of the C corporation assuming the tax position of the
(terminated) S corporation (see note 10). SFAS 109 requires that deferred income
taxes be recognized for the tax consequences of "temporary differences" by
applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences
between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing
assets and liabilities.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue on product sales is recognized at the time of shipment. A reserve for
product returns is established based upon historical trends.

Net Income Per Share

Net income per share is usually based on the weighted average number of common
and common equivalent shares outstanding during each period, after retroactive
adjustment for stock splits. However, pursuant to certain rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, for periods prior to an initial public
offering of common stock (IPO), the calculation also includes (i) shares of
common stock issued within one year of the IPO and (ii) where repayment of
indebtedness to stockholders incurred as a result of S corporation distributions
is made from proceeds from the IPO, the number of shares required to be sold in
the offering to generate the proceeds for the repayment. Following is an
analysis of the components of the shares used to compute net income per share:

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars
at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date or at historical rates,
as applicable. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates in effect
during the period. The resultant translation adjustment is reflected as a
separate component of stockholders' equity on the balance sheet.

Unaudited Pro Forma and Condensed Quarterly Data

In the opinion of management, the unaudited pro forma and condensed quarterly
financial data (in note 15) reflect all adjustments consisting of recurring
accruals and pro forma adjustments (described in note 16) which are necessary to
a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods presented.

2 Restatement of Prior Period Results

The Company has restated previously issued financial results for each of the
quarters and for the full years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992. The
restated financial results reflect errors in its accounting procedures primarily
related to accrued inventory liabilities and trade payables. The following
summarizes the impact of the restatement.

4 Borrowing Arrangements

Line of Credit

At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Company had a $15,000 unused line of credit
in the United States. The line of credit provides for unsecured borrowing with
interest at the bank's prime rate minus 0.75% or LIBOR plus 1.0%.

1992 and 1994 Stock Option Plans

The 1992 and 1994 Stock Option Plans (the "Plans") provide for the grant of
stock options to officers, directors and key employees of, and consultants to,
the Company and its subsidiaries. Under the Plans, the Company may grant options
that are intended to qualify as incentive stock options ("Incentive Stock
Options") within the meaning of Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"), or options not intended to qualify as Incentive
Stock Options ("Nonstatutory Stock Options"). A total of 1,500,000 shares of
common stock have been reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options
granted under the Plans.

The Plans are administered by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the
Board of Directors. Subject to the provisions of the Plans, the Committee has
the authority to select the employees, directors and consultants to whom options
are granted and determine the terms of each option, including (i) the number of
shares of common stock covered by the option, (ii) when the option becomes
exercisable, (iii) the option exercise price, which must be at least 100%, with
respect to Incentive Stock Options, and at least 85%, with respect to
Nonstatutory Stock Options, of the fair market value of the common stock as of
the date of grant, and (iv) the duration of the option (which may not exceed ten
years). All options are nontransferable other than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution.

Following is the activity under the Plans:

The Company has an agreement with a consultant through December 1996 for an
annual fee of $100.

401(k) Savings Plan

Effective July 1,1992, the Company adopted a 401(k) Savings Plan which covers
substantially all full-time employees who meet the plan's eligibility
requirements. Participants may make tax deferred contributions of up to 15% of
annual compensation (subject to other limitations specified by the Internal
Revenue Code) and the Company will make a 25% matching contribution for amounts
which do not exceed 6% of participant's annual compensation. The Company may
also make discretionary profit sharing contributions to the Plan. During 1994
and 1993, the Company incurred approximately $293 and $180, respectively, of
expense related to the 401(k) matching component of this Plan.

9 Special Incentive Compensation

Effective January 1,1989, the Company entered into an agreement for marketing
services with a consultant which required (in addition to a fixed annual fee) a
special incentive payment equal to one-third of the Company's profits before
taxes. The agreement had no specific term.

An employment agreement with an executive officer entered into in August 1991
required the Company to accrue as additional incentive compensation the vested
value of phantom stock up to a maximum of 2.5% of the common shares outstanding
based on a formula.

As of January 1, 1992, the foregoing incentive arrangements were terminated. As
of that date, the consultant received an irrevocable right to receive a 30%
interest in the Company through a transfer of shares by the existing
stockholders and the executive officer received a 2.5% equity interest through
the issuance of previously unissued shares of common stock. In order to
determine the amount to be recorded as compensation expense as of the

fair market value per share of its common stock.

to determine the components of the provision for income taxes.

13 Acquisitions of Foreign Operations                              

During 1994, the Company acquired eight businesses with operations in Holland,
Belgium, Finland, Norway, Sweden, France, Mexico and Canada. The purchase price
composed of approximately $13,915 in cash and 335,000 common shares with an
average market value of approximately $22.50. The aggregate goodwill was
$17,580.

On December 1, 1993 the Company acquired through newly-formed foreign
subsidiaries, businesses with operations in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. The
purchase price included approximately $2,700 in cash and up to 200,000 common
shares, contingent upon the businesses achieving sales and earnings goals in
1994 and 1995. In an effort to synchronize its global operational and strategic
objectives, the Company waived the contingencies in

16  Pro Forma Adjustments (Unaudited)

The following pro forma adjustments have been made to the historical results of
1992 operations to make the presentations more meaningful in relation to future
periods:

(a) Elimination of amounts of special incentive compensation - see note 9. The
amount represents the value of common stock transferred to the consultant (by
the existing stockholders) and issued to an employee (by the Company) to
terminate the incentive portion (based on income before taxes) of their
respective agreements. The value was based on an independent appraisal of the
Company's common stock at January 1, 1992.

(b) Computation of income taxes which would have been recorded had the Company
been a C corporation for the entire year and after eliminating the compensation
in (a).

The 1992 combined historical and pro forma provisions for income tax expense
were as follows:

                                   Federal                State
                             Current    Deferred    Current   Deferred   Total

17 Subsequent Events

Offerings of Common Stock

In October 1995, the Company sold 1,200,000 shares of common stock in its fourth
follow-on public offering which yielded net proceeds of $50,867. Funds were used
for acquisitions (see Acquisitions below) and working capital.

Acquisitions

During 1995 and 1996, the Company acquired ten businesses (seven foreign and
three domestic) in transactions accounted for as purchases. The aggregate
purchase price was $57,658, of which $56,514 was paid in cash and the balance
represented the fair value of 26,000 shares of common stock issued to the former
owners. Aggregate goodwill was $46,925. In 1996, the Company wrote off all the
remaining goodwill ($6,000) related to those Macintosh-only businesses acquired.

On January 25, 1996, the Company acquired Inmac Corp. through an exchange of
3,033,682 of its shares for all of Inmac's 10,816,836 shares in a transaction
accounted for as a pooling of interests. In connection therewith, the Company
recorded (i) $21,200 of restructuring charges, primarily for personnel and
facilities matters; (ii) $6,113 for merger costs; and (iii) an extraordinary
charge of $1,600 (net of tax benefit of $1,100) related to a mandatory
prepayment to extinguish certain Inmac indebtedness.

Under pooling of interest accounting, all of the Company's consolidated
financial statements as of and for periods prior to the acquisition of Inmac are
generally required to be restated as though the merger took place at the
beginning of the earliest period presented. Since the nature of this amendment
of the Company's Form 10-K relates to historical information, the consolidated
financial statements included herein have not been restated for the Inmac
acquisition.

Legal Proceedings

During October, November and December 1996, the Company and certain of its
directors and officers were named as defendants in eleven lawsuits brought in
the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut by parties
which seek to represent classes of stockholders who purchased shares of the
Company's common stock during different periods between January 1994 and
September 1996, or exchanged shares in a merger transaction completed in January
1996. These lawsuits advance claims under various provisions of the federal
securities laws and the common law and assert that various misleading
disclosures were made concerning the Company's financial performance and
condition and other related circumstances during the periods described and seek
unspecified monetary damages and, in certain instances, rescission. The lawsuits
followed and are predicated upon the Company's announcements in September and
October 1996 that it intended to restate certain prior financial statements. The
matters are all at an initial stage. Neither the Company nor the other
defendants have responded to any of them.

In December 1996 and January 1997, the Company and certain of its directors and
officers were named as defendants in two largely identical lawsuits brought in
the Superior Court of Santa Clara County, San Jose, California. The lawsuits
arise out of the stock merger between the Company and Inmac Corp. on January 25,
1996. The claims and defendants are generally similar to those being asserted in
the various class actions described above. Neither the Company nor the other
defendants have responded to either of them.

In November 1996, a shareholder derivative action was filed in the United States
District Court for the District of Connecticut, purportedly on behalf of, and
for recovery by, the Company, which is named as a nominal defendant. The
complaint charges certain directors and officers with violation of fiduciary
duties in selling Company stock while in possession of non-public information
and in causing or permitting the exposure of the Company to damage, such as
through the class litigation described above, attributable to the same
circumstances that are the subject of the class litigation. The Company and the
individual defendants have filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint which is
pending before the Court.

The plaintiffs in these lawsuits seek unspecified compensatory damages, other
relief, legal fees and litigation costs. The Company is unable to predict the
outcome or potential financial impact of this litigation, and accordingly has
made no provision therefor in the consolidated financial statements.

In addition, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission is conducting
an informal inquiry into the events that underlie the Company's announced
intention to restate certain prior period financial statements. The Company is
cooperating with the staff in its investigation.
