1   Includes 367,029 shares held of record by Comtrad, Inc. ("Comtrad"), a
    wholly-owned subsidiary of Comtrad Holdings, Inc. ("CHI"), 3,169,500 shares
    held of record by CHI, 47,576 shares held of record by Penrose Trading Co.
    S.A. (a shareholder of CHI and of which Mr. Osorio has effective control)
    and currently exercisable options to purchase 375,280 shares held by Mr.
    Osorio. Claudio Osorio and Alvin Perlman together own and control a majority
    of the issued and outstanding capital stock of CHI, and Messrs. Osorio and
    Perlman have entered into an agreement pursuant to which they have agreed to
    vote their shares of CHI common stock together on certain matters submitted
    to the shareholders of CHI. Claudio Osorio, Alvin Perlman, CHI and Comtrad
    are parties to another agreement, in which they agree to vote all shares of
    the Common Stock they own or control, together on any matter submitted to
    the shareholders of the Company. In addition, Messrs. Osorio and Perlman and
    Comtrad are parties to an agreement which grants to Mr. Osorio and Comtrad,
    until June 30, 1997, the right to acquire all, but not less than all, of the
    shares of Common Stock of the Company and the shares of Comtrad Common Stock
    owned by Mr. Perlman. Mr. Perlman may reject all or a portion of such
    exercise; provided, however, that any shares as to which the option exercise
    is rejected are excluded from a right granted by the agreement to Mr.
    Perlman to put the referenced shares to Mr. Osorio. The put option may be
    exercised during the period beginning July 1 and ending July 31, 1997.
    Comtrad has guaranteed Mr. Osorio's obligations and has pledged 676,006
    shares of Common Stock in connection therewith, which shares are included in
    the above aggregate ownership. Subject to the claims of certain creditors,
    the holders of CHI Class A common stock (which includes Penrose Trading Co.
    S.A.) have a liquidation preference on the 965,000 shares of Company Common
    Stock owned by Comtrad. Further, subject to the claims of certain creditors
    and subject to the rights of holders of CHI Class A common stock, the
    holders of CHI Class B common stock have a liquidation preference on 287,500
    shares of Company Common Stock held by CHI or any subsidiary thereof. Based
    on the foregoing relationships and agreements, Claudio Osorio, Alvin
    Perlman, CHI, and Comtrad may be deemed to have shared voting and investment
    control over the above-indicated aggregate number of shares of Common Stock.
    Such shares exclude 100,000 shares of Common Stock which Comtrad is
    obligated to deliver to the sellers of three entities purchased by Comtrad
    and subsequently sold to the Company.

2   Calculated on the basis of 14,691,135 shares of CHS Electronics, Inc. Common
    Stock outstanding on June 2, 1997 and 375,280 shares of CHS Electronics,
    Inc. Common Stock issuable upon exercise of presently exercisable options.
