ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

         On August 8, 1997, CHS Electronics, Inc. (the "Company") completed its
acquisition of the operations of Karma International S.A. ("Karma") for $74
million in cash and $86 million in shares of unregistered common stock of the
Company. Karma is engaged principally in the distribution of computer components
in 18 countries in Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

         Karma's product line includes mass storage products, CPUs, memory
chips, motherboards, sound, video and other cards and monitors. Karma is a
focused distributor which carries approximately 500 SKUs from 14 vendors. These
products represent the basic components of a personal computer and may be used
without regard to the specific language, regulatory and technical factors of
individual markets. As a result of the universal nature of these products, Karma

primarily personal computer assemblers, systems integrators and value-added
resellers.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Board of Directors
Karma International S.A.


     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Karma
International S.A. (formerly Bluefin S.A.) and its subsidiaries (the Company)
as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, and the related consolidated statements of
income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then
ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.


     We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 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 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 Karma
International S.A. (formerly Bluefin S.A.) and its subsidiaries as of December
31, 1995 and 1996, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:


     Karma International S.A. ("Karma International"--the Parent company) was
incorporated in Luxembourg in 1996, formerly Bluefin S.A. which was

International include the results of operations and financial position of its
wholly owned subsidiaries, majority owned subsidiaries and entities under
common control of Karma International and/or the controlling shareholders (Note

in 1996. Accordingly, in 1996, the shares of Karma International AG, Karma
Components AG, Carre & Ribeiro Informatica Lda, Karma Denmark Aps and Karma

     The following companies' (subsidiaries) results of operations and
financial position have been included in the consolidated financial statements

     KARMA INTERNATIONAL S.A. (FORMERLY BLUEFIN S.A.) AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1996

                          (In thousands)--(Continued)


  1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:--(Continued)

     Karma International and its subsidiaries (the Company) operates in a single
industry trading computer components. In principle, the Company purchases
components from international suppliers and sells them in the local markets. The
companies other than the Parent company and Karma International AG are mostly
engaged in marketing and selling the products in their respective local markets.
The Company's principal operations are outside of Luxembourg and are conducted
by subsidiaries located in various countries in Europe. The subsidiaries are the
approved distributors of various international companies in computer hardware,
software, networking and data communication markets. The Company has entered
into agreements with suppliers and manufacturers of these products. These
agreements provide, among other things, that the Company obtains favourable
pricing based on certain committed levels of purchases, that the Company is
price protected in the event the vendor reduces its prices and that goods can be
returned to the vendor within a period of three months effective from the date
when such goods become unsaleable due to technological reasons. The agreements
are generally renegotiated annually and are subject to termination by the vendor
or the Company with thirty to ninety days notice. Although the Company believes
it maintains satisfactory relations with these vendors, the discontinuance,
termination or non-renewal of certain of these agreements could adversely affect
the Company's business.


     In 1996, the shareholders agreed to transfer their ownership interests in
Oktabit Hellas A.E. (Greece) and Karma Donanim Yazilim A.S. (Turkey), which are
wholly owned by the controlling shareholders, to the Company. The share
transfer procedures have not been finalized as of December 31, 1996. Therefore,
such companies were not included in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements. Had the transfer procedures been completed and had these companies
been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of and
for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996, total assets; total revenues
and net income would be higher by $8,095 and $12,404; $5,565 and $31,864, and
$295 and $304 in 1995 and 1996, respectively.


2. ADJUSTMENTS AND RECLASSIFICATIONS TO STATUTORY BOOKS OF ACCOUNTS:


     Karma International and the subsidiaries maintain their books of accounts
and prepare their statutory financial statements in their local currencies and
in accordance with local commercial practice and tax regulations applicable in
the countries where they are resident. The accompanying consolidated financial
statements are based on these statutory records with adjustments and
reclassifications for the purpose of fair presentation in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.


3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:


     The major accounting policies followed in the preparation of the
consolidated financial statements referred to above are set out below:


(A) REVENUE AND EXPENSE RECOGNITION--


     Revenues are recognized at the time the goods are shipped. Cost of goods
sold include material costs only. Selling, general and administrative costs are
charged to expense as incurred. Income from vendor rebates and discounts are
recognized when earned, as a reduction of the cost of goods sold or as a
reduction of operating expenses.

     KARMA INTERNATIONAL S.A. (FORMERLY BLUEFIN S.A.) AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1996

                          (In thousands)--(Continued)


3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:--(Continued)

(B) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION--


     The consolidated financial statements of Karma International include the
results of operations and financial position of its wholly owned subsidiaries,
majority owned subsidiaries and entities under common control of Karma
International and/or the controlling shareholders (Note 14) which are part of a
shareholders' agreement whereby the controlling shareholders reached an
agreement to contribute their capital in subsidiaries to Karma International AG
in 1995 and consequently to Karma International S.A. in 1996. Accordingly, in
1996, the shares of Karma International AG, Karma Components AG, Carre &
Ribeiro Informatica Lda, Karma Denmark Aps and Karma Italia Srl have been
contributed by the controlling shareholders into Karma International. The
consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31,
1995 have been restated to account for the entities under common control "as
if" a pooling of interest had occurred.


   The major principles of consolidation are as follows:


     /bullet/ All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
        eliminated in consolidation.


     /bullet/ Minority interest in the net assets and net income of the
        consolidated companies are separately classified in the consolidated
        balance sheets and consolidated statements of income.


(C) PRINCIPLES OF TRANSLATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INTO U.S. DOLLARS--


     The subsidiaries record transactions in their local currencies which
represent their operating currencies. Transactions denominated in currencies
other than local currencies are recorded at the exchange rates ruling at the
date of the transactions. Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies
other than local currencies are converted into the local currencies at the
exchange rates ruling at balance sheet date. Resulting exchange differences are
recognized in the income for the period.


     Financial statements of the subsidiaries have been translated into U.S.
dollars, the reporting currency of the Parent company. Accordingly, balance
sheet items are translated at the year-end exchange rates while statement of
income items are translated at average rates during the year. All foreign
exchange adjustments resulting from translation of the financial statements
into U.S. dollars are included in a separate section of shareholders' equity
titled `Accumulated translation adjustment'.


(D) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT--


     Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using
the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets.

                          (In thousands)--(Continued)


3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:--(Continued)

     Depreciation rates used are as follows:


<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                                              %
                                            --------
<S>                                         <C>
Buildings  ..............................         2
Motor vehicles   ........................    12 -25
Furnitures, fixture and equipment  ......    15 -33
Leasehold improvements ..................        20
</TABLE>

     The costs of ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as
incurred.


     When assets are otherwise disposed of, the costs and the related
accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and resulting gain or
loss is reflected in net income.


(E) INVENTORIES--


     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined
using the first-in first-out method.


(F) INCOME TAXES--


     Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.


(G) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS--


     For the purpose of the accompanying consolidated financial statements,
shareholders and all companies in which there is direct or indirect ownership
by the shareholders of the consolidated companies are considered as related
parties.


(H) USE OF ESTIMATES--


     Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions
relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and
assumptions include the amounts reflected as allowance for doubtful
receivables, allowance for inventories, amounts due from vendors under
incentive programs and deferred tax assets.

     KARMA INTERNATIONAL S.A. (FORMERLY BLUEFIN S.A.) AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1996

                          (In thousands)--(Continued)


3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:--(Continued)

(I) IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS--


     The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, on
January 1, 1996. Adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on
the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or
liquidity.


(J) TRANSFERS AND SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND EXTINGUISHMENTS OF
    LIABILITIES--


     In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
125, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
extinguishments of Liabilities. SFAS No. 125 is effective for transfers and
servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring
after December 31, 1996 and is to be applied prospectively. This statement
provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of
financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities based on consistent
application of a financial-components approach that focuses on control. It
distinguishes transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that
are secured borrowings. Management of the Company does not expect that adoption
of SFAS No. 125 will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated
financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.


(K) EARNINGS PER SHARE--


     In 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128,
which is effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997. The Company has
not been required to calculate earnings per share amounts. However, the
adoption of this standard would not have an effect on the Company's earnings
per share amounts as the Company has no common stock equivalents.


4. CASH AND EQUIVALENTS:


     At December 31, the breakdown of cash and equivalents is as follows:

     In 1995 and 1996, retained earnings of $4,930 and $5,573, respectively,
have been contributed to Karma International AG and Karma International S.A. and
represent the shareholders' contributed capital balances (common stock at par
value). Capital share transactions represent common stock of entities owned not
only by Karma International S.A. (or Bluefin S.A.), but also by the controlling
shareholders; accordingly, the common stock of such entities are included in the
financial statements. At December 31, 1996, $260 represents the 5 percent share
capital of Karma International AG held by controlling shareholders.


     Effect of disposition of operations represents the disposition of common
stock and accumulated losses of Riverrise Trading Limited, a company which was
the principal operating company of the controlling shareholders until September
30, 1995, the date when Karma International AG was established. From this date
on, Karma International AG became the principal operating company of the
controlling shareholders, and accordingly the net assets of Riverrise Trading
Limited was disposed of from the consolidated shareholders' equity in 1996.

in Benelux countries. While these countries and other countries where the
Company has operations are considered politically stable, there is a risk that
economic difficulties in any of these countries could adversely affect the
Company's business.


     59% of the Company's sales are made in local currencies other than U.S.
dollar. The largest amount of sales was in Dutch Guilders (15%). In some
countries, certain purchases and resulting payables are in currencies different
than the functional currency. The Company had sales to Eurocom Computer Systeme
GmbH, a related party, in the amount of $57,541 and $150,273, in 1995 and 1996,
respectively. No other companies represent more than 10% of total sales.
Further, certain subsidiaries have loans receivable or payable denominated in
currencies other than their functional currency. Transaction gains and losses
on these receivables and liabilities are included in the determination of
earnings for relevant periods. In 1995 and 1996, such foreign currency gains
and losses were not material.


     The Company has a major supplier, Quantum Peripherals (Europe) SA
(Quantum), whose products accounted for 42% and 39% of sales for 1995 and 1996,
respectively. No other vendor accounted for more than 10% of sales in any year
except in 1995 in which one vendor was 26%. The Company or Quantum have the
right to terminate the distribution agreement without penalty for any reason or
no reason by giving the other party written notice ninety days in advance. The
Company believes that its relationship with Quantum is good and has no reason
to believe that its distribution arrangement will not be a long term
relationship. No assurance can be given, however, that Quantum will renew the
Company's agreement at the time of its annual review or in subsequent years.
Management has not formulated alternative plans of action in the event the
Quantum contract is terminated. The amounts outstanding to Quantum at December
31, 1995 and 1996 were $19,340 and $42,378, respectively.


19. SUBSEQUENT EVENT (Unaudited):


     In June 1997, the Company signed a definitive agreement with CHS
Electronics, Inc. (CHS) to sell 100% of the common stock to CHS for $160
million to be paid in cash and unregistered shares of CHS common stock.

    NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

a)   In August 1997, the Company consummated an agreement to purchase 100% of
     the stock of Karma International S.A. (Karma) for $74 million in cash and
     $86 million in shares of unregistered common stock of the Company. Karma is
     engaged principally in the distribution of computer components in 18
     countries in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. For purposes of the Pro
     Forma Condensed Balance Sheet as of March 31, 1997, the purchase price of
     Karma is recorded at $142,800,000. This price consists of the $74 million
     cash component added to the discounted value of the unregistered shares to
     be delivered. The discount used was 20%, based on the large size and the
     restricted nature of the block of shares. Based on the agreement, the
     Company delivered 3,208,955 shares.

     In December 1996 the Company signed an agreement to purchase 100% of the
     stock of Frank & Walter Computer GmbH (F&W) for 2,200,000 shares of
     unregistered common stock. F&W is a distributor of computers and computer
     products located in Germany.

     All these transactions have been accounted for under the purchase method of
     accounting.

b)   To record the issuance and sale of 2,437,418 shares of the 13,000,000
     shares of common stock of the Company at an assumed price of $31.75 per
     share (net proceeds at $30.36 per share) to raise the cash consideration to
     be paid in connection with the acquisition of Karma.

c)   To eliminate the investment account and to record goodwill of $117,954,000
     for Karma. For purposes of the Pro Forma Condensed Balance Sheet as of
     March 31, 1997, the goodwill was computed by subtracting from the $142.8
     million estimated purchase price, the fair value of net assets acquired as
     of March 31, 1997 of $25,212,000.

d)   To eliminate intercompany sales between the Company and F&W.

e)   To record amortization of goodwill over a period of 20 years. Amortization
     was provided for F&W and Karma based on goodwill of $27,618,000 and
     $113,740,000, respectively, for the period of time each company was added
     to the Pro Forma Condensed Statements of Earnings. For purposes of the Pro
     Forma Condensed Statements of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 1996
     and for the three months ended March 31, 1997, the goodwill of Karma was
     computed based on the difference between the estimated purchase price of
     $142,800,000 and the estimated fair value of net assets acquired as of the
     projected date of the closing of the transaction.
