ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
On January 9, 1998, ScanSource, Inc. (the "Company") completed the
acquisition of Kingtron Corporation d/b/a POS ProVisions (USA) ("Kingtron") and
P.O.S. ProVisions, Ltd. ("ProVisions"). Each transaction is being treated by
the Company for accounting purposes as a pooling of interests.
The acquisition of Kingtron was undertaken pursuant to a merger of Kingtron
with a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company which is operating under the name
KAC Corp. following the merger. The Company issued 179,487 shares of its common
stock, no par value ("Common Stock"), to Bruce E. Bean as consideration in the
merger with Kingtron. Mr. Bean was granted registration rights with respect to
a portion of the shares issued by the Company in the merger.
The acquisition of ProVisions was undertaken pursuant to the purchase by
the Company of all of the outstanding capital stock of ProVisions in exchange
for the issuance by the Company of 41,026 shares of Common Stock to Greg S.
Vance. As part of the acquisition transaction, the Company entered into an
employment agreement with Mr. Vance who also was granted options under the
Company's stock incentive plan and registration rights with respect to a portion
of the shares issued by the Company in the purchase. Within the next ninety
days, the Company intends to change the name of its ProVisions subsidiary to

without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").
Of the aggregate shares issued, (a) 179,487 shares were issued to Mr. Bean
pursuant to the exemptions from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the
Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Act as a transaction not involving a
public offering in which the purchaser was purchasing for investment, and (b)
41,026 shares were issued to Mr. Vance pursuant to the exemptions from
registration contained in (a) Section 4(2) of the Act and Rule 506 of Regulation
D under the Act as a transaction not involving a public offering in which the
purchaser was purchasing for investment and (b) Regulation S promulgated under
