Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Accounting Principles
The financial information included herein has been prepared in conformity with
the accounting principles reflected in the financial statements included in the
Transition Report on Form 10K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
for the transition period from July 1, 1994 to December 31, 1994.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included.
The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily
indicative of results for the full year.
Per Share Data
Operating results data per share is based upon the weighted average number of
common and common equivalent shares outstanding. Common equivalent shares
represent the net number of shares which would be issued assuming the exercise
of dilutive stock options and stock warrants, reduced by the number of shares
which could be repurchased from the proceeds of such exercises.
Stock Dividend
In May 1995, the Board of Directors declared a 5% stock dividend payable to
shareholders of record on May 26, 1995. Share and per share amounts were
adjusted to give effect to the stock dividend.
Change in State of Incorporation
At the 1995 Annual Meeting, the shareholders approved a plan to change the
Company's state of incorporation from Delaware to California. Effective June
30, 1995, the plan was completed and each share of Bell Delaware common stock
($.25 par value) was converted to one share of Bell California common stock.
This change resulted in the transfer of $60.9 million from other paid-in
capital to common stock on that date.

For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Company's net sales increased 11%
to $268.5 million and operating income increased 11% to $17.8 million over the
comparable period in the prior year. Net income increased 20% to $6.8 million,
or $.96 per share, compared to $5.6 million, or $.81 per share, in the prior
year.
For the three months ended June 30, 1995, the Company's net sales increased 10%
to $141.6 million and operating income increased 10% to $10.2 million over the
corresponding quarter in the prior year. The Company recorded net income of
$4.2 million, or $.60 per share, compared to $3.6 million, or $.51 per share,
in the prior year quarter.
Sales of the Electronics Group for the six months increased 10% to $213.0
million and operating income increased 16% to $15.1 million. Sales for the
quarter increased 8% over the prior year quarter to $110.5 million and
operating income increased 18% to $8.5 million. The improved performance was
attributed to substantially stronger shipments of the Group's core electronic
components, partially offset by reduced sales of memory and microprocessor
products. The availability of these products, which are provided primarily by
one supplier, cannot be predicted due to capacity and allocation issues at that
supplier. In addition, the group recorded increased sales of microcomputer
systems and services. Customer bookings for electronic components continued to
be strong during the quarter.
Graphic Arts Group sales for the six months increased 19% to $34.9 million and
operating income increased 6% to $1 million. Group sales for the quarter
increased 25% to $19.3 million while operating income increased 3% to $0.6
million. Sales growth was attributed to a stronger California market for
graphic supplies, increased sales of electronic imaging equipment and
geographic expansion. Operating income growth was more limited as a result of
costs to enter new markets.
Recreational Products Group sales for the six months increased 10% to $20.7
million while operating income decreased 17% to $1.7 million. Sales for the
quarter increased 7% to $11.8 million while operating income decreased 23% to
$1.2 million. The decline in operating margins was primarily attributed to
competitive pressures on gross margins and costs incurred to penetrate new
markets. In addition, during the first quarter, mild winter weather in the
upper Midwest affected sales of higher margin snowmobile supplies and other
winter-related products.
<PAGE> 8

Cost of products sold as a percentage of sales for the six months decreased to
77.1% from 77.5% as a result of product mix changes, primarily decreased sales
of lower margin memory products, while selling, general and administrative
expenses increased slightly to 17.9% of sales from 17.6%. Corporate costs
increased over the prior year periods primarily as a result of deferred
compensation expenses. The decrease in interest expense was attributed to
reductions in long-term debt. The Company's income tax rate was approximately
42% for all periods presented.
The Company's financial position continued to be strong at June 30, 1995 as set
forth in the table below (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

Days' sales in inventories 78 87 73
</TABLE>
Cash provided by operating activities totaled $18.6 million during the six
months ended June 30, 1995 compared to $9.4 million in the prior year period.
The change in operating cash flows was attributed to increased profits during
1995 and increased cash collections. Cash used in investing activities in the
prior year included the purchase of a business. Cash used in financing
activities included payments on notes payable, bank borrowings and capital
lease obligations.
The Company believes that sufficient cash resources exist to support short-term
requirements, including debt and lease payments, and longer term objectives,
either through available cash, bank borrowings, or cash generated from
operations.
