Report of Independent Accountants


Board of Directors

Norfolk Wire & Electronics, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Norfolk Wire & Electronics,
Inc. as of August 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of income and
retained earnings and cash flows for the years then ended.  These 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 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 that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company was merged with
and into Anicom-Southeast, Inc. on September 1, 1996.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Norfolk Wire & Electronics,
Inc. as of August 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

1.       Description of Business and Accounting Policies

    Description of Business:  Norfolk Wire & Electronics, Inc. (the "Company")
    is a distributor of computer networking wiring products.  The Company
    supplies wiring for telephones and computer systems.  In addition, the
    Company trains individuals in wiring terminations and connections.

    Merchandise Inventory:  Inventories of merchandise are stated at the lower
    of cost or market using the average cost method.

    Property and Equipment:  Accounts include costs of assets constructed or    
    purchased, related delivery and installation costs and interest incurred on
    significant capital projects during their construction periods. 
    Expenditures for renewals and betterments also are  capitalized, but
    expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.  The
    cost and accumulated depreciation applicable to assets retired or sold are
    removed from the respective accounts, and gains or losses thereon are
    included in income.  Depreciation, which includes amortization of leasehold
    improvements, is computed using accelerated methods for income tax
    reporting purposes and the straight-line method for financial reporting
    purposes over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

    Amortization of equipment acquired under a capital lease is computed by
    the straight-line method over the term of the lease.

    Income Taxes:  Deferred income taxes are provided on temporary differences  
    between the financial statement and taxable income. Reclassifications: 
    Certain 1995 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1996
    presentation.

    Use of estimates:  The preparation of financial statements in conformity
    with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
    estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and
    liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
    of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
    expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from
    those estimates.

    Concentration of credit risk:  Cash and trade accounts receivable
    potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit
    risk.  The Company  maintains its cash with high credit quality financial
    institutions in Virginia.

2.          Subsequent Event:

    Effective September 1, 1996, the Company merged with and into Anicom -
    Southeast, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Anicom, Inc. ("Anicom").  The
    merger is qualified as a reorganization under the provisions of Sections
    368(a)(1)(A) and 368(a)(2)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code.  Effectively,
    Anicom - Southeast, Inc. acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the
    liabilities of the Company and transferred Anicom stock and cash to the     
    shareholders of the Company in exchange for all of the Company's stock. 
    Anicom - Southeast, Inc. will continue the operations of the Company.

3.          Notes Payable:

    The Company has a $3,000,000 revolving line of credit with a financial
    institution with interest payable monthly, at prime (8.25% at August 31,
    1996) plus 1/4%.  The line is personally guaranteed by two
    shareholders of the Company.  The amounts outstanding under this line
    totaled $2,405,604 and $2,116,691 at August 31, 1996 and 1995,
    respectively.  The Company must meet certain restrictive covenants, the
    more significant of which relate to minimum working capital and net worth
    and a maximum debt to equity ratio.

    The Company had a $150,000 revolving line of credit to purchase inventory
    and equipment with the same institution with interest payable monthly, at
    prime plus 3/4%, maturing April 1, 1996, collateralized by inventory and
    equipment purchased.  The agreement was rolled over to a term loan at
    maturity (see Note 4).  The balance outstanding on the line of credit at
    August 31, 1995 was $88,807.

    The line of credit and the $115,807 and $39,155 term loans (see Note 4) are
    collateralized by all accounts receivable, inventory, furniture and
    fixtures now owned or hereafter acquired by the Company.  All of these
    agreements were paid off and terminated by Anicom subsequent to year end
    and the two shareholders were released from their personal guarantees.

    In addition, the Company had unsecured demand notes with related and
    unrelated parties totalling $135,000 and $60,000, respectively, at August
    31, 1995.  These notes were retired in 1996.

              Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

                                 (Unaudited)

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information give effect,
on a purchase accounting basis, to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
made and entered into as of August 31, 1996 by and among Anicom, Inc. and its
wholly owned subsidiary, Anicom-Southeast, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as
"Anicom"), Norfolk Wire & Electronics, Inc. ("Norfolk") and Ronald A. Hurley,
Robert H. Jennings, Stephen M. Mobley and Vonda M. Hall and certain other
acquisitions completed by Anicom during 1995 and 1996.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet at June 30, 1996
assumes that the merger of Norfolk occured on June 30, 1996.  The unaudited pro
forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended June
30, 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1995 assume that the merger of Norfolk
occurred on January 1, 1995 and that purchase price was provided by the
issuance of 258,062 shares (516,134 shares subsequent to the declaration of a
two-for-one stock split effected as 100% stock dividend to all holders of
record as of October 1, 1996) of Anicom's common stock, $.001 par value per
share, valued at $15.50 per share, and $4,000,039 in cash provided principally
by the liquidation of marketable securities.  The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined statements of operations also assume that Anicom's acquisitions of
Northern Wire & Cable, Inc. ("Northern"), Pinnacle Wire & Cable, Inc.
("Pinnacle") and Morgan Hill Supply Company, Inc. ("Morgan Hill") occurred on
January 1, 1995.  In addition, as these acquisitions were possible as a result
of Anicom's initial public offering of 1,380,000 shares (including 180,000
shares for the underwriters' overallotment) and its follow-on offering of
3,450,000 shares (including 450,000 shares for the underwriters'
overallotment), the unaudited pro forma combined statements assume that these
offerings occurred on January 1, 1995.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary assumptions of the
allocation of the purchase price and are subject to revision upon final
settlement of all purchase price adjustments and the completion of evaluations
and other studies of the fair value of all assets acquired and liabilities
assumed.  Actual purchase accounting adjustments may differ from the pro forma
adjustments presented herein.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements are not necessarily
indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if the transactions
described above  had been effective since the assumed dates, nor are the
statements indicative of future combined financial position or earnings. 
Anicom's future financial statements will reflect the asset purchase of Norfolk
as of August 31, 1996.

The pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Anicom as filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission in its Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 1995 and Current Report on Form 10-QSB for the six months ended
June 30, 1996.

Mobley and Vonda M. Hall, dated as of August 30, 1996 and reflects the issuance
of 258,062 (516,134 shares subsequent to the declaration of a two-for-one stock
split effected as 100% stock dividend to all holders of record as of October 1,
1996) of Anicom's common stock, $.001 par value per share, at a value of $15.50
per share and cash paid of $4,000,039.

(b)     To record the transaction costs incurred with the merger of Norfolk.

(c)     To record the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the fair
market value of assets acquired, less liabilities assumed and transaction costs
associated with the merger.

(d)     To record anticipated integration costs related to the merger of
Norfolk.

(e)     Adjustment of historic cost of certain acquired assets to estimated
