The following unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the sale of
substantially all of the assets of Graphics as of the beginning of each of the
periods presented for statement of income purposes and as of June 30, 1998 for

purchase price, less an estimate of the net book value of certain receivables,
is payable in cash on the closing date. The balance is payable within 90 days of
the closing date. The net cash proceeds will be used to reduce outstanding
borrowings as required under Bell's credit facility. The unaudited pro forma
financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical
consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, as included in
the Bell Industries, Inc., Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1997.
The pro forma information is presented for illustration purposes only and is not
necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would
have occurred if the sale of Graphics had been consummated in accordance with
the assumptions described, nor is it indicative of future operating results or
financial position of Bell.
