Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

         On November 26, 1996, Bell Industries, Inc., a California corporation
("Bell" or the "Registrant"), ME Acquisition, Inc., a New York corporation and
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant (the "Purchaser"), and Milgray
Electronics, Inc., a New York corporation ("Milgray"), executed an Agreement
and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), which provided for the merger of
the Purchaser with and into Milgray and the conversion of all of the
outstanding shares (the "Shares") of common stock of Milgray, into the right to
receive cash in the amount of $14.77 per Share.

         On December 4, 1996 Registrant commenced a tender offer for the
outstanding shares of Milgray common stock. The tender offer expired on January
7, 1997 at which time Purchaser had acquired 6,582,250 Shares, representing
approximately 97.1% of the outstanding Shares. Pursuant to the terms of the
Merger Agreement, on January 15, 1997, the Purchaser was merged with and into
Milgray. The aggregate purchase price paid for the Shares in the Tender Offer
and the Merger was approximately $100 million.

         In order (i) to finance the purchase of the Shares pursuant to the
Tender Offer and the Merger and to pay certain related fees and expenses
related to the Tender Offer and the Merger, (ii) to refinance certain existing
debt of the Registrant and, after consummation of the Merger, Milgray, and
(iii) for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Registrant and
its subsidiaries, the Registrant obtained a $250 million credit facility from
Union Bank of California, N.A. pursuant to a credit agreement (the "Credit
Agreement") dated as of January 7, 1997. The Credit Agreement provides for
credit facilities relating to the Tender Offer consisting of a tender loan of
up to $175 million, which was repaid on the effective date of the Merger, a $50
million term loan facility and a $200 million revolving credit facility which
will be available from time to time on and after the effective date of the
Merger.

         The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and Credit Agreement
is qualified in its entirety by reference to the underlying agreements, copies
of which are attached as Exhibits 2.1 and 10.1 to the Form 8-K filed on January
22, 1997.

         This Form 8-K/A is an Amendment to the Form 8-K filed on January 22,
1997 for the purpose of including the pro forma combined financial information
of Bell and Milgray.

                             BELL INDUSTRIES, INC.
                        Pro Forma Financial Information
                                  (Unaudited)


The following unaudited pro forma financial information includes the effects of
the acquisition of Milgray Electronics, Inc. (Milgray) in a transaction to be
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Under the terms of the
acquisition, shareholders of Milgray received cash of $14.77 per share of
common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $100 million.
Concurrent with the acquisition, Bell entered into a five-year $250 million
secured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks to finance the
purchase of Milgray, retire all existing debt of both companies and provide for
on-going working capital requirements.

Pro forma financial information has been prepared based on the historical
financial statements of Bell and Milgray. Bell has a December 31 year end while
Milgray had a September 30 fiscal year end before the acquisition. The Pro Forma
Combined Balance Sheet of Bell at December 31, 1996 reflects the acquisition of
Milgray on that date based upon the agreed purchase price. The Pro Forma
Combined Statement of Income combines the historical statement of income of Bell
for the year ended December 31, 1996 with the historical statement of income of
Milgray for the twelve months ended December 31, 1996. Milgray's financial
statements for the twelve month period were derived from Milgray's financial
statements for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and its financial
statements for the three months ended December 31, 1996. These unaudited pro
forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical
financial statements and the notes thereto.

The Pro Forma Combined Statement of Income presented herein may not be
indicative of the operating results that would have been achieved had the
acquisition of Milgray taken effect at the beginning of the periods presented,
and should not be construed as representative of future results of operations.
