                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The interim financial information included herein is unaudited. Certain
     information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial
     statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and
     regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), although the
     Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the
     information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be
     read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes
     contained in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended
     June 30, 1997. Other than as indicated herein, there have been no
     significant changes from the financial data published in that report. In
     the opinion of management, such unaudited information reflects all
     adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals and other
     adjustments as disclosed herein, necessary for a fair presentation of the
     unaudited information.

     Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results
     expected for the full year, or for any subsequent period.

     The balance sheet for June 30, 1997 has been derived from the audited
     balance sheet for that date.


(2)  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Revenue Recognition - The Company records revenue when products are
     shipped.

     Inventories - Inventories consisting of point of sale and bar code
     equipment are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or
     market.

(3)  LINE OF CREDIT

     In November 1996 the Company closed a line of credit agreement with a bank
     which extends to October 1998 whereby the Company can borrow up to $15
     million, based upon 80% of eligible accounts receivable and 40% of non-IBM
     inventory at the 30 day LIBOR rate of interest plus a rate varying from
     2.00% to 2.65% tied to the Company's debt to net worth ratio ranging from
     1:1 to 2:1. All outstanding debt under the line of credit was repaid in
     October 1997 with proceeds from the sale of stock described in note 5,
     therefore the full $15 million line was available at December 31, 1997.

    On September 12, 1997 the Company acquired the assets and assumed the
    liabilities of ProCom Supply Corporation (ProCom), a business telephone
    distributor, as follows:

                                                   ==========

</TABLE> 

   The value of goodwill is based primarily upon the acquired customer base,
   telephony industry knowledge, and established presence which ProCom had in
   the industry. The amount due to former ProCom owner will be paid after the
   collectibility of receivables and the marketability of inventory is
   determined.

(5) SECONDARY OFFERING

    In October 1997 the Company completed a public offering of 1,538,600 shares
    of common stock at $18.25 per share. Proceeds to the Company, after
    approximately $578,000 of offering expenses and a $1.095 per share
    underwriting discount, was approximately $25.8 million. The Company used a
    portion of the offering proceeds to pay off its line of credit described in
    note 3 above.

(6) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

    In January 1998 ScanSource issued 220,513 shares of its common stock in
    exchange for all the outstanding shares of two companies, doing business as
    POS ProVisions (USA) and POS ProVisions, Ltd. (Canada), in a business
    combination that meets all the criteria for the pooling-of-interests
    accounting. Previously reported financial statements of ScanSource will not
    be restated for the combinations, since the acquired companies are not
    material to ScanSource. POS ProVisions are each distributors of point-of-
    sale equipment.

    In January 1998 the Company issued 60,000 shares of its common stock in a
    cashless exercise by the holders of the remaining 42,000 units of the
    underwriters Unit Purchase Option.

PART I.   FINANCIAL INFORMATION


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



Results of Operations


     NET SALES.    Net sales for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 increased
75.0% to $39.2 million from $22.4 million for the comparable prior year quarter.
Net sales increased 77.2% to $74.6 million for the six months ended December 31,
1997 from $42.1 million for the comparable prior year period.  Growth of net
sales resulted primarily from additions to the Company's sales force,
competitive product pricing, selective expansion of its product line, and
increased marketing efforts to specialty technology resellers.

     GROSS PROFIT.    Gross profit for the quarter ended December 31, 1997
increased 70.0% to $5.1 million from $3.0 million for the comparable prior year
quarter. Gross profit increased 59.7% to $9.1 million for the six months ended
December 31, 1997 from $5.7 million for the comparable prior year period.  Gross
profit as a percentage of sales for the quarter and six months ended December
31, 1997 was 12.9% and 12.2%, respectively,  compared to 13.5% and 13.6%,
respectively, for the comparable prior year periods.  The decrease in gross
profit as a percentage of sales is the result of a change in the mix of sales of
more lower-margin products and the volume discounts provided to resellers on
large orders.

     OPERATING EXPENSES.  Operating expenses, which include selling, general and
administrative expenses and amortization, for the quarter ended December 31,
1997 increased 79.0% to $3.4 million compared to $1.9 million for the comparable
prior year period.  Operating expenses for the six months ended December 31,
1997 increased 63.9% to $5.9 million from $3.6 million for the comparable prior
year period.  Operating expenses as a percentage of sales was 8.6% and 7.9%,
respectively,  for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1997, compared
to 8.4% for both of the comparable prior year periods.  Generally, lower gross
margin sales require the Company to provide fewer value-added services causing a
corresponding decrease in operating expenses.  The general and administrative
portion of operating expenses also decreased as a percentage of sales due to
efficiencies gained through increased sales volume.

     OPERATING INCOME.    Operating income for the quarter ended December 31,
1997 increased 54.6% to $1.7 million from $1.1 million for the same period in
1996, driven by the improvement in gross profit as described above.  Operating
income increased 57.1% to $3.3 million for the six months ended December 31,
1997 from $2.1 million for the comparable prior year period.   Operating income
as a percentage of sales was 4.4% for both the quarter and six months ended
December 31, 1997, compared to 5.0% and 5.1%, respectively,  for the comparable
prior year periods.

     OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE).  Total other income (expense), net consists of
interest income (expense), net, and other expense, net.  Net interest income for
the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1997 was $214,000 and $111,000,
respectively, representing earnings from invested cash resulting from the
Company's sale of stock in October 1997.  Net interest expense for the quarter
and six months ended December 31, 1996 of $88,000 and $169,000, respectively,
resulted from interest paid on borrowings under the Company's line of credit.

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
     INCOME TAXES.    Tax expense was provided at a 38% effective rate for both
the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1997, and represented the state
and federal tax expected to be due after annualizing income to the fiscal year
end.  Tax expense was also provided at a 38% effective rate for the quarter and
six months ended December 31, 1996.

     NET INCOME.   The effect of improved operating income, and net interest
income, resulted in net income increasing 85.5% to $1.2 million for the quarter
ended December 31, 1997 from $640,000 for the year-earlier quarter.  Net income
for the six months ended December 31, 1997 increased 75.0% to $2.1 from $1.2
million for the comparable prior year period.   Net income as a percentage of
sales was 3.0% and 2.8%, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended
December 31, 1997 compared to 2.9% for both the quarter and six months ended
December 31, 1996.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company financed its initial operating requirements and growth through
private financings totaling $500,000.  In March 1994, the Company completed an
initial  public offering of units, which consisted of common stock and warrants,
which provided the Company with approximately $4.6 million.  The Company also
received proceeds of approximately $6.3 million from common stock issued upon
the exercise of stock purchase warrants prior to their redemption date in
September 1995.  In October 1997 the Company completed a secondary offering of
stock which provided the Company approximately $25.8 million for general
corporate purposes, including working capital and possible acquisitions.

     In November 1996 the Company renegotiated a bank line of credit agreement
extending to October 31, 1998 whereby the Company can borrow up to $15 million,
based upon 80% of eligible accounts receivable and 40% of non-IBM inventory, at
the 30 day LIBOR rate of interest, plus a rate varying from 2.00% to 2.65% tied
to the Company's debt to net worth ratio ranging from 1:1 to 2:1. The revolving
credit is secured by accounts receivable and inventory.  All outstanding debt
under the line of credit was repaid in October 1997 with proceeds from the sale
of stock; therefore the full $15 million line was available at December 31,
1997.

     For the six months ended December 31, 1997 net cash of $8.8 million was
used in operating activities compared to $973,000 for the six months ended
December 31, 1996.  Cash used in operations was primarily from increases in
receivables and inventory partially offset by growth in trade payables.

     Cash used in investing activities of $1.4 million for the six months ended
December 31, 1997 included $700,000 for the purchase of ProCom Supply
Corporation and $692,000 for capital expenditures, including $170,000 for the
Company's computer conversion to a UNIX-based operating system. Cash used in
investing activities for the six months ended December 31, 1996 was $340,000 for
capital expenditures.

     Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended December 31,
1997 and 1996 was $20.9 million and $1.3 million, respectively.  For 1997 cash
of $25.8 million and $67,000 was 

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
provided from the sale of common stock in an October 1997 public offering and
from the exercise of stock options, respectively. Approximately $6.6 million of
this cash was used to pay down the outstanding balance under the Company's line
of credit, compared to $1.3 million borrowed on the line of credit for the same
period in 1996.
 
     The Company's current ratios at December 31, 1997 and at June 30, 1997 were
3.23 and 2.39, respectively.

       otherwise be permissible, such condition shall be inoperative if in the
       opinion of counsel for the Company such condition is not required under
       the 1933 Act or any other applicable law, regulation, or rule of any
       governmental agency.

            ----------------

   discretion shall deem advisable including, but not limited to:

           (i) Offering Options in tandem with or reduced by other Options, SARs
       or other employee benefits and reducing one Award by the exercise of
       another Option, SAR or benefit; or

granted pursuant to it shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue
in the employ of the Company, Parent or Subsidiary, as the case may be, or to
interfere in any way with the right of the Company, Parent or Subsidiary to
terminate employment at any time. So long as the Participant shall continue to

7. INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS AND NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTIONS

   7.1  The Committee in its sole discretion may designate whether an Award to
an Employee is to be considered an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified
Stock Option.  AN AWARD TO A NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR OR CONSULTANT MAY BE ONLY A
NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION.  The Committee may grant both an Incentive Stock
Option and a Nonqualified Stock Option to the same Employee.  However, where
both an Incentive Stock Option and a Nonqualified Stock Option are awarded at
one time, such Awards shall be deemed to have been awarded in separate grants,
shall be clearly identified, and in no event will the exercise of one such Award
affect the right to exercise the other such Award except to the extent the
Agreement with the Participant provides otherwise.

   7.2  Any Award to an Employee designated by the Committee as an Incentive
Stock Option will be subject to the general provisions applicable to all Awards
granted under this Plan.  In addition, the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares
(determined at the Effective Date of Grant) with respect to which Incentive
Stock Options granted under all Incentive Stock Option Plans of the Company, a
Parent or Subsidiary, are exercisable by the Employee for the first time during
any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000.

   7.3  The Option Price shall be established by the Committee in its sole
discretion.  With respect to an Incentive Stock Option, the Option Price shall
not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Effective Date
of Grant.  With respect to a Nonqualified Stock Option, the Option Price shall
not be less than 50% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Effective Date
of Grant.

   7.4  Any Award to an Employee will be considered to be a Nonqualified Stock
Option to the extent that any or all of the grant is in conflict with Section 
7.2 or with any requirement for Incentive Stock Options pursuant to Code (S)422A
and the regulations issued thereunder.

   7.5  An Option may be terminated as follows:

        (a) During the period of continuous employment with the Company, Parent
   or Subsidiary, an Option will be terminated only if it has been fully
   exercised or it has expired by its terms.

        (b) Upon termination of employment, the Option will terminate upon the
   earliest of (i) the full exercise of the Option (ii) the expiration of the
   Option by its terms, and (iii) not more than three months following the date
   of employment termination; provided, however, should termination of
   employment (A) result from the death or Permanent and Total Disability of the
   Participant, such period shall be one year or (B) be for Cause, the Option
   will terminate on the date of employment termination. For purposes of this
   Plan, a leave of absence approved by the Company shall not be deemed to be
   termination of employment except with respect to an Incentive Stock Option as
   required to comply with Code (S)422A and the regulations issued thereunder.

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
        (c) Subject to the terms of the Agreement with the Participant, if a
   Participant shall die or becomes subject to a Permanent and Total Disability
   prior to the termination of employment with the Company, Parent or Subsidiary
   and prior to the termination of an Option, such Option may be exercised to
   the extent that the Participant shall have been entitled to exercise it at
   the time of death or disability, as the case may be, by the Participant, the
   estate of the Participant or the person or persons to whom the Option may
   have been transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

   7.6  Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Agreement with the
Participant, in no event will the continuation of the term of an Option beyond
the date of termination of employment allow the Participant, or the
beneficiaries or heirs of the Participant, to accrue additional rights under
this Plan, or to purchase more Shares through the exercise of an Option than
could have been purchased on the day that employment was terminated.

   7.7  A Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any
Shares subject to an Option until the date of the issuance of a stock
certificate to such Participant for such Shares. No adjustment shall be made for
dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other
property) or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to
the date such stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section
6.1.(f).

   7.8  The continuous employment of a Consultant will be deemed terminated for
purposes of this Plan upon receipt of written notice from the Company to the
effect that the Company will no longer transact business with the Consultant.


8. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

   8.1  The Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant to a Participant an
SAR.

   8.2  The SAR Price shall be established by the Committee in its sole
discretion.  The SAR Price shall not be less than 100% of Fair Market Value of a
Share on the Effective Date of Grant for a SAR issued in tandem with an
Incentive Stock Option and for other SARs, shall not be less than 50% of Fair
Market Value of a Share on the Effective Date of Grant.

   8.3  Upon exercise of an SAR, the Participant shall be entitled, subject to
the terms and conditions of this Plan and the Agreement, to receive the excess
for each Share being exercised under the SAR (i) the Fair Market Value of a
Share on the date of exercise over (ii) the SAR Price for such Share.

   8.4  At the sole discretion of the Committee, the payment of such excess
shall be made in (i) cash, (ii) Shares, or (iii) a combination of cash and
Shares.  Shares used for this payment shall be valued at their Fair Market Value
on the date of exercise of the applicable SAR.

   8.5  An Award of an SAR shall be considered an Award for purposes of the
number of Shares subject to an Award pursuant to Section 5.1, unless the
Agreement making the Award of 

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
the SAR provides that the exercise of an SAR results in the termination of an
unexercised Option for the same number of Shares.

   8.6  An SAR may be terminated as follows:

        (a) During the period of continuous employment with the Company, Parent
   or Subsidiary, an SAR will be terminated only if it has been fully exercised
   or it has expired by its terms.

        (b) Upon termination of employment, the SAR will terminate upon the
   earliest of (i) the full exercise of the SAR (ii) the expiration of the SAR
   by its terms, and (iii) not more than three months following the date of
   employment termination; provided, however, should termination of employment
   (I) result from the death or Permanent and Total Disability of the
   Participant, such three month period shall be one year or (II) be for Cause,
   the SAR will terminate on the date of employment termination.  For purposes
   of this Plan, a leave of absence approved by the Company shall not be deemed
   to be termination of employment unless otherwise provided in the Agreement or
   by the Company on the date of the leave of absence.

        (c) Subject to the terms of the Agreement with the Participant if a
   Participant shall die or becomes subject to a Permanent and Total Disability
   prior to the termination of employment with the Company, Parent or Subsidiary
   and prior to the termination of an SAR, such SAR may be exercised to the
   extent that the Participant shall have been entitled to exercise it at the
   time of death or disability, as the case may be, by the Participant, the
   estate of the Participant or the person or persons to whom the SAR may have
   been transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

        (d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Agreement with the
   Participant, in no event will the continuation of the term of an SAR beyond
   the date of termination of employment allow the Employee, or his
   beneficiaries or heirs, to accrue additional rights under this Plan, have
   additional SARs available for exercise or to receive a higher benefit than
   the benefit payable as if the SAR was exercised on the date of employment
   termination.

   8.7  If an SAR which was considered an Award for purposes of Section 8.5 is
terminated or unexercised for any reason, the number of Shares of such SAR that
were unexercised shall be again available for Award under this Plan.

   8.8  The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to an
SAR.  In addition, no adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or
extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or distributions
or rights except as provided in Section 6.1.(f).

terms or conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine
and as otherwise provided herein.

   9.2  Restricted Stock shall be Shares which are subject to a Restriction
Period.

Control shall mean that any of the following events shall have occurred:

   (i) A person, partnership, joint venture, corporation or other entity,
   or two or more of any of the foregoing acting as a group (or a "person"
   within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the 1934 Act), other than the
   Company, a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company, an employee benefit plan
   (or related trust) of the Company or such subsidiary, become(s) after the

   stock of the Company;

   (ii) During any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the
   beginning of such period constitute the Company's Board of Directors
   (together with any new director whose election by the Company's Board of
   Directors or whose nomination for election by the Company's shareholders, was
   approved by the vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in
   office who either were directors at the beginning of such period or whose
   election or nomination for election was previously so approved) cease for any
   reason to constitute a majority of the directors then in office;

   (iii)  The Company's Board of Directors determines that a tender offer
   for the Company's shares indicates a serious intention by the offeror to
   acquire control of the Company; or

   (iv) The Shareholders of the Company approve (a) a plan of complete
   liquidation of the Company; or (b) an agreement for the sale or disposition
   of all or substantially all of the Company's assets; or (c) a merger,
   consolidation, or reorganization of the Company with or involving any other
   corporation, other than a merger, consolidation, or reorganization that would
   result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior
   thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being
   converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least seventy-
   five percent (75%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of
   the Company (or such surviving entity) outstanding immediately after such
   merger, consolidation or reorganization.

   15.3.   Termination, Amendment and Modifications of Change in Control
           -------------------------------------------------------------
Provisions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or any Agreement,
- ----------                                                                    
the provisions of this Section may not be terminated, amended or modified on or
after the effective date of a Change in Control to affect adversely the
operation of any Award theretofore granted under the Plan without the prior
written consent of the Participant with respect to said Participant's
outstanding Awards.


16.  SUCCESSORS; CONSOLIDATION, MERGER AND OTHER EVENTS

   16.1.   All obligations of the Company under this Plan or any Agreement with
respect to any Award granted hereunder shall be binding on any successor to the
Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or
indirect purchase of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of
the Company, or a merger, consolidation or otherwise. Specifically, in case of
any capital reorganization of the Company, or of any reclassification of 

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
any Shares (other than a change as a result of subdivision or combination), or
in case of the consolidation of the Company with or the merger of the Company
with any other corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which (i)
the Company is the continuing corporation and (ii) the holders of the Shares
immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue as holders of Shares
after such merger or consolidation) or of the sale of the properties and assets
of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other corporation,
each Option and each SAR then outstanding shall after such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale be exercisable, upon the terms
and conditions specified herein and in the Agreement relating to such Option or
SAR, for or with respect to the number of Shares or other securities or property
to which a holder of the number of Shares relating to such Option or SAR (at the
time of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale)
upon exercise of such Option or SAR would have been entitled in connection with
such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale; and in any
such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth in this Section with respect
to the rights and interests thereafter of the holder of the Option or SAR shall
be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably
be, to any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter
deliverable on the exercise of the Option or SAR.
