ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
On January 29, 1999, Bell Industries, Inc., a California corporation
("Bell" or the "Registrant") sold its Electronics Distribution Group ("EDG") to
Arrow Electronics, Inc., a New York corporation. EDG sells electronic
components to approximately 10,000 customers in North America, including:
semiconductors, passive components, connectors, and board-level products. EDG
also provides various value added services. The purchase price is approximately
$185 million, subject to post closing adjustments. A portion of the proceeds
from the sale were used to repay Bell's bank debt. The remaining proceeds will
be used to pay taxes and expenses related to the sale and to make a distribution
to Bell's shareholders.
The sale of EDG was structured as a sale of substantially all the
assets of EDG's operations. The purchase price was determined based on
negotiations between the parties.

BELL INDUSTRIES, INC.
Pro Forma Financial Information
(Unaudited)
The following unaudited pro forma financial statements give effect to the sale
of EDG and distribution in an assumed amount of $55 million to shareholders.
Therefore, such statements present pro forma financial information regarding
Bell without EDG, and after the assumed distribution to shareholders. The pro
forma balance sheet assumes that the sale of EDG and the distribution to
shareholders occurred on September 30, 1998, while the pro forma statements of
operations assume that the sale of EDG and the distribution to shareholders
occurred on January 1, 1995.
The pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
historical consolidated financial statements of Bell included in the Bell
Industries, Inc., Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1997. The Company expects its corporate costs will be substantially lower
following the sale of EDG, and it will endeavor to restructure its operations
to realize these savings. The pro forma financial statements do not reflect
such cost savings, nor those expected to be achieved following the sale of
Bell's Graphics Imaging Group ("Graphics") on September 14, 1998. Accordingly,
these pro forma operating results are not indicative of operating results which
would have been achieved had the sale of EDG been consummated as of the dates
presented and should not be construed as representative of future operations.

The pro forma selling and administrative expenses include the historical
corporate costs for the entire Company, including those costs required to
support EDG and Graphics. The Company expects corporate costs will be
substantially lower following the sale of EDG, and will restructure its
operations to realize these savings. These anticipated savings are not
reflected in the pro forma presentation. Management expects these annual
savings to be approximately $8 million to $9 million, before tax effects,
after a restructuring of the Company's operations following the sale of
EDG to bring corporate costs in-line with the Company's smaller size.
