NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except for (i) the ~~adoption of an accounting standard which changes the accounting for convertible debt that may be settled in cash as discussed below, (ii) the~~ gain on ~~sale of assets~~bargain purchase discussed in Note 2 ~~(iii) the goodwill~~ and ~~intangible asset impairment charges discussed in Note 3, and (iv)~~(ii) the restructuring, integration and other charges discussed in Note 12.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The Company operates on a “52/53 week” fiscal year, and as a result, the ~~first~~ nine months ~~of fiscal~~ended April 2, 2011 contained thirty nine weeks while the nine months ended April 3, 2010 contained ~~40 weeks (with the extra week falling in the Company’s first fiscal quarter) while the first nine months of fiscal 2009 contained 39~~forty weeks. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended ~~June 27, 2009.~~

Management has evaluated events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date and through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued and considered the effect of such events in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.July 3, 2010.

~~Adoption of accounting standard~~2. Acquisitions and divestitures

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued authoritative guidance which requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the debt and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument. The standard requires the convertible debt to be recognized at the present value of its cash flows discounted using the non-convertible debt borrowing rate at the date of issuance. The resulting debt discount from this present value calculation is to be recognized as the value of the equity component and recorded to “additional paid in capital.” The discounted convertible debt is then required to be accreted up to its face value and recorded as non-cash interest expense over the expected life of the convertible debt. In addition, deferred financing costs associated with the convertible debt are required to be allocated between the debt and equity components based upon relative values. During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company acquired three businesses: Bell Microproducts Inc. (“Bell”), which is described further below; Tallard Technologies, a value-added distributor of IT solutions in Latin America with annualized revenues of approximately $250 million, which is reported as part of the TS Americas region; and Unidux, Inc., (“Unidux”) an electronics component distributor in Japan with annualized revenues of approximately $370 million, which is reported as part of the EM Asia region.

Unidux, a Japanese publicly traded company, was acquired through a tender offer in which the Company obtained over 95% controlling interest. The non-controlling interest was recorded at fair value but was not material. The acquisition of the non-controlling interest in Unidux was completed during the second quarter of fiscal 2011. As mentioned, Unidux was a publicly traded company which shares were trading below its book value for a period of time. In a tender offer, Avnet offered a purchase price per share for Unidux that was above the prevailing trading price thereby representing a premium to the then recent trading levels. Even though the purchase price was below book value, 95% of the Unidux shareholders tendered their shares. As a result, the Company acquired Unidux net assets of $163,770,000 for a net purchase price of $132,780,000, and recognized a gain on bargain purchase of $30,990,000 pre- and after tax and $0.20 per share on a diluted basis. Prior to recognizing the gain, the Company reassessed the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition.

During the second and third quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company acquired four businesses with annualized revenues of approximately $190 million for an aggregate purchase price of $107,534,000, net of cash acquired. Of the four businesses acquired, two are reported as part of the EM Americas region, one is reported as part of the TS Asia region and one is reported as part of the EM Asia region.

During fiscal 2011, the Company recognized restructuring and integration charges, and transaction and other costs associated with the acquisitions, all of which were recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and are described further in Note 12.

Bell

On July 6, 2010, subsequent to fiscal year 2010, the Company ~~adopted this standard, however, there~~completed its previously announced acquisition of Bell, a value-added distributor of storage and server products and solutions and computer components products, providing integration and support services to OEMs, VARs, system builders and end users in the US, Canada, EMEA and Latin America. Bell operated both a distribution and single tier reseller business and generated sales of approximately $3.0 billion in calendar 2009, of which 42%, 41% and 17% was ~~no impact to~~generated in North America, EMEA and Latin America, respectively. The consideration for the ~~fiscal 2010 consolidated financial statements because~~transaction totaled $255,691,000 for the ~~Company’s $300.0 million 2% Convertible Senior Debentures (the “Debentures”), to~~equity of Bell which ~~this standard applies, were extinguished in fiscal 2009. Due to~~consisted of $7.00 cash per share of Bell common stock, cash payment for Bell equity awards, and cash payments required under existing Bell change of control agreements plus the ~~required retrospective application~~assumption of ~~this standard to prior periods,~~$323,321,000 of Bell net debt. Of the debt acquired, Avnet repaid approximately $209,651,000 of debt (including associated fees) immediately after closing. As of the end of March 2011, the Company ~~adjusted~~substantially completed the ~~prior period comparative consolidated financial statements, which are summarized~~integration of Bell into both the EM and TS operating groups and expects the full impact of the cost synergies to be realized in the ~~following tables.~~first quarter of fiscal 2012.

This per share price equates to an equity~~had not yet completed its evaluation of the fair value of ~~approximately $252 million~~certain assets and liabilities acquired, primarily (i) the final valuation of certain income tax accounts, and (ii) certain contingent liabilities associated with the former Bell Latin America business.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company completed its valuation of the identifiable amortizable intangible assets and recognized a ~~transaction value~~final valuation of ~~approximately $594 million assuming~~$60,000,000 (see Note 3).

During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company recognized a ~~net debt position~~contingent liability of $18,000,000 for potential unpaid import duties associated with the former Bell Latin America business. Prior to the acquisition of ~~$342 million~~Bell by Avnet, the US Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) initiated a review of the importing process at ~~face value~~one of Bell’s subsidiaries and identified compliance deficiencies. Subsequent to the acquisition of Bell by Avnet, CBP began a compliance audit to identify any duty owed as a result of ~~December 31, 2009.~~ the prior non-compliance. Depending on the ultimate resolution of the matter with CBP, there may be additional exposure in excess of the recorded amount. During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company continued to evaluate the potential exposure based upon further activities associated with the audit and the Company’s ability to obtain appropriate documentation for certain transactions under audit. The Company has evaluated the projected duties, interest and penalties that potentially may be imposed as a result of the audit and, as further information has become available during the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company estimates the range of potential exposure associated with this liability may be up to $73 million. However, considering the Company’s ability to obtain additional documentation and other activities, the Company believes the contingent liability recorded is a reasonable estimate of the liability at this time.

The Company expects remaining final evaluations for certain income tax accounts to ~~utilize a combination of cash on hand and available borrowing capacity to fund the acquisition. The acquisition has been approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies and is subject~~be completed in fiscal 2011 which may result in additional adjustments to the ~~approval~~preliminary values presented in the following table.

Divestitures

During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company completed the divestiture of New ProSys Corp. (“ProSys”), a value-added reseller and provider of IT infrastructure solutions. Avnet acquired ProSys as part of the Bell acquisition on July 6, 2010, and announced its intention to sell this business at that time. Total consideration included a cash payment at closing, a short-term receivable and a three-year earn-out based upon ProSys’ anticipated results. As a result of the divestiture, the Company received initial net cash proceeds of $10,458,000 and wrote off goodwill associated with the ProSys business (see Note 3). No gain or loss was recorded as a result of the divestiture.

During the second quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2010, the Company recognized a gain on the sale of assets amounting to $5,549,000 pre-tax, $3,383,000 after tax and $0.02 per share on a diluted basis, as a result of certain earn-out provisions associated with the prior sale of the Company’s equity investment in Calence LLC.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company recognized a preliminary estimate for a customer relationship intangible asset. During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company completed its evaluation of the intangible asset and recognized a final valuation of $60,000,000, which has an estimated life of seven years.

As of April ~~3, 2010,~~2, 2011, “Other assets” included customer relationship intangible assets with a carrying value of ~~$49,569,000;~~$104,170,000; consisting of ~~$78,963,000~~$141,468,000 in original cost value and ~~$29,394,000~~$37,297,000 of accumulated amortization and foreign currency translation.

~~In the second quarter of~~year and $13,000,000 for fiscal 2009, due to a steady decline in the Company’s market capitalization primarily related to the global economic downturn, the Company determined an interim impairment test was necessary. Based on the test results, the Company recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $1,317,452,000 pre-tax, $1,283,308,000 after tax and $8.51 per share to write off all goodwill related to its EM Americas, EM Asia, TS EMEA and TS Asia reporting units. The Company also evaluated the recoverability of its long-lived assets at each of the four reporting units where goodwill was deemed to be impaired. Based upon this evaluation, the Company recognized a non-cash intangible asset impairment charge of $31,393,000 pre- and after tax and $0.21 per share. The non-cash charges had no impact on the Company’s compliance with debt covenants, its cash flows or available liquidity, but did have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

As a result of the acquisition of Bell, the Company assumed $104,795,000 of 3.75% Notes due March 2024 which were convertible into Bell common stock; however, as of the acquisition completion date, the debt was no longer convertible into shares. Under the terms of the 3.75% Notes, the Company may redeem some or all of the 3.75% Notes for cash anytime on or after March 5, 2011 and the note holders may require the Company to purchase for cash some or all of the 3.75% Notes on March 5, 2011, March 5, 2014 or March 5, 2019 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus interest. During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company issued a tender offer for the 3.75% Notes for which $5,205,000 was tendered and paid in September 2010. During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the note holders tendered substantially all of the notes under the terms of the agreement, for which $104,395,000 was paid in March 2011.

5. Derivative financial instruments

Many of the Company’s subsidiaries, on occasion, purchase and sell products in currencies other than their functional currencies. This subjects the Company to the risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company reduces this risk by utilizing natural hedging (i.e. offsetting receivables and payables) as well as by creating offsetting positions through the use of derivative financial instruments, primarily forward foreign exchange contracts with maturities of less than sixty days. The Company continues to have exposure to foreign currency risks to the extent they are not hedged. The Company adjusts all foreign denominated balances and any outstanding foreign exchange contracts to fair market value through the consolidated statements of operations. Therefore, the market risk related to the foreign exchange contracts is offset by the changes in valuation of the underlying items being hedged. The asset or liability representing the fair value of foreign exchange contracts, based upon level 2 criteria under the fair value measurements standard, is classified in the captions “other current assets” or “accrued expenses and other,” as applicable, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and were not material. In addition, the Company did not have material gains or losses related to the forward contracts which are recorded in “other income (expense), net” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The Company generally does not hedge its investment in its foreign operations. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes and monitors the financial stability and credit standing of its counterparties.

6. Commitments and contingencies

From time to time, the Company may become a party to, or otherwise involved in ~~other~~ pending and threatened litigation, tax, environmental and other matters arising in the ordinary course of conducting its business.

~~During~~There were no contributions made to the Plan during the first nine months of fiscal ~~2010, the Company made contributions~~2011.

However, the Company anticipates resuming benefits under the Plan beginning in fiscal 2011. In October 2009, the Company agreed to settle a pension litigation matter, which was approved by the court in April 2010, which will require a plan amendment to provide retroactive benefits to certain pension plan participants and which will result in additional pension expense to the Company of approximately $3 million2010.

Item 2.		*Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations*

For a description of the Company’s critical accounting policies and an understanding of the significant factors that influenced the Company’s performance during the ~~quarters~~third quarter and first nine months ended April ~~3, 2010 and March 28, 2009,~~2, 2011, thisManagement’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, appearing in Item 1 of this Report, as well as the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended ~~June 27, 2009.~~July 3, 2010. The Company operates on a “52/53 week” fiscal year, and as a result, the first nine months of fiscal ~~2010~~2011 contained 4039 weeks while the first nine months of fiscal ~~2009~~2010 contained 3940 weeks. This extra week ~~which occurred in the first quarter,~~ impacts the year-over-year analysis for the first nine months of fiscal ~~2010~~2011 in this MD&A. In addition, the Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect the adjustments or reclassifications of certain prior period amounts for accounting changes as a result of the required retrospective application of an accounting standard which changes the accounting for debt that may be settled in cash as discussed in Note 1 in the accompanying~~Notes to Consolidated Financial Statementsin Part I of this Form 10-Q.~~

There are ~~numerous~~ references to the impact of foreign currency translation in the discussion of the Company’s results of operations. Over the past several years, the exchange rates between the US Dollar and many foreign currencies, especially the Euro, have fluctuated ~~significantly.~~significantly year over year; however, the impact for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was not significant. For example, the US Dollar has ~~weakened~~strengthened against the Euro by approximately 5%1% when comparing the third quarter of fiscal ~~2010~~2011 with the third quarter of fiscal ~~2009.~~2010; therefore, a small part of the fluctuation between the third quarter of fiscal 2011 results of operations and the prior year third quarter are a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. When the ~~weaker~~stronger US Dollar exchange rates of the current year are used to translate the results of operations of Avnet’s subsidiaries denominated in foreign currencies, the resulting impact is ~~an increase~~a decrease in US Dollars of reported results. In the discussion that follows, this is referred to as the “translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.”

In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company also discloses certain non-GAAP financial information, including:

Income or expense items as adjusted for the translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, as discussed above.

Sales adjusted for certain items that impact the year-over-year analysis, which included (i) the impact of acquisitions by adjusting Avnet’s prior periods to include the sales of businesses acquired as if the acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the period presented; (ii) the impact of a divestiture by adjusting Avnet’s prior periods to exclude the sales of the business divested as if the divestiture had occurred at the beginning of the period presented; and (iii) the impact of the transfer of the existing embedded business from TS Americas to EM Americas which occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 in conjunction with the Bell acquisition so that substantially all embedded business in the Americas resides in the EM operating group. Sales taking into account the combination of these three adjustments are referred to as “pro forma sales” or “organic sales.”

Management believes that providing this additional information is useful to the reader to better assess and understand operating performance, especially when comparing results with previous periods or forecasting performance for future periods, primarily because management typically monitors the business both including and excluding these adjustments to GAAP results. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures to establish operational goals and, in some cases, for measuring performance for compensation purposes. However, analysis of results on a non-GAAP basis should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with GAAP.

OVERVIEW

Organization

Avnet, Inc., incorporated in New York in 1955, together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Avnet”), is one of the world’s largest industrial distributors, based on sales, of electronic components, enterprise computer and storage products and embedded subsystems. Avnet creates a vital link in the technology supply chain that connects more than 300 of the world’s leading electronic component and computer product manufacturers and software developers with a global customer base of more than 100,000 original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), electronic manufacturing services (“EMS”) providers, original design manufacturers (“ODMs”), and value-added resellers (“VARs”). Avnet distributes electronic components, computer products and software as received from its suppliers or with assembly or other value added by Avnet. Additionally, Avnet provides engineering design, materials management and logistics services, system integration and configuration, and supply chain services.

Avnet has two primary operating groups — Electronics Marketing (“EM”) and Technology Solutions (“TS”). Both operating groups have operations in each of the three major economic regions of the world: the Americas; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); and Asia/Pacific, consisting of Asia, Australia and New Zealand (“Asia” or “Asia/Pac”). A brief summary of each operating group is provided below:

	•		EM markets and sells semiconductors and interconnect, passive and electromechanical devices (“IP&E”) for more than 300 of the world’s leading electronic component manufacturers. EM markets and sells its products and services to a diverse customer base serving many end-markets including automotive, communications, computer hardware and peripheral, industrial and manufacturing, medical equipment, military and aerospace. EM also offers an array of value-added services that help customers evaluate, design-in and procure electronic components throughout the lifecycle of their technology products and systems. By working with EM from the design phase through new product introduction and through the product lifecycle, customers and suppliers can accelerate their time to market and realize cost efficiencies in both the design and manufacturing process.

	•		TS markets and sells mid- to high-end servers, data storage, software, and the services required to implement these products and solutions to the VAR channel. TS also focuses on the worldwide OEM market for computing technology, system integrators and non-PC OEMs that require embedded systems and solutions including engineering, product prototyping, integration and other value-added services. As a global technology sales and marketing organization, TS has dedicated sales and marketing divisions focused on specific customer segments including OEMs, independent software vendors, system builders, system integrators and VARs.

The Company completed the acquisition of Bell, a value-added distributor of storage, server products, and solutions and computer components product, providing integration and support services to OEMs, VARs, system builders and end users in the US, Canada, EMEA and Latin America, in July 2010. Bell operated both a distribution and single tier reseller business and generated sales of approximately $3.0 billion in calendar 2009, of which 42%, 41% and 17% was generated in North America, EMEA and Latin America, respectively. The Company is substantially complete with the integration of Bell into the EM Americas, TS Americas and TS EMEA regions and expects the full realization of at least $60 million in annualized cost saving synergies in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Also during the first nine months of fiscal 2011, the Company acquired:

Tallard, a value-added distributor of IT solutions in Latin America with annualized revenues of approximately $250 million, which is reported as part of the TS Americas region,

Unidux, an electronics component distributor in Japan with annualized revenues of approximately $370 million, which is reported as part of the EM Asia region, and

four smaller acquisitions with annualized revenues of approximately $190 million, two of which are reported as part of the EM Americas region, one is reported as part of the TS Asia region and one is reported as part of EM Asia.

Results of Operations

Executive Summary

The year-over-year comparison of third quarter results were impacted by (i) acquisitions and a divestiture, (ii) the transfer of the existing embedded business from TS Americas to EM Americas which occurred in the first quarter of fiscal ~~2010 financial results exceeded management’s expectations set back in January as the technology markets exhibited~~2011, which did not have an ~~uptick in demand indicating continued recovery from the recession. Given the accelerated growth rates during the third quarter, management revised expectations in March and actual revenue growth~~impact on a consolidated basis but did impact sales comparisons for the ~~third quarter exceeded expectations at both operating groups. Revenue increased 28.5% year over year, consisting of 37.7% growth at EM~~groups; and, ~~16.6% growth at TS. Management believes some of~~to a lesser extent, (iii) the revenue growth at EM is related to inventory restocking; however, continued strong book to bill metrics and lean inventories in the technology supply chain seem to indicate growth in end demand as well. For TS, IT demand was better than expected as revenue growth exceeded management expectations following a strong December quarter. In addition to stronger demand, the favorabletranslation impact of ~~acquisitions and the weakening of the US dollar against the Euro also contributed to the year-over-year revenue growth. Excluding the impact of~~changes in foreign currency exchange ~~rates, organic~~rates. As mentioned earlier in this MD&A, sales ~~were up 25.1% year over year, consisting of 34.7% growth at EM~~adjusted for items (i) and ~~12.6% at TS.~~(ii) are defined as “pro forma” or “organic sales.”

~~Gross profit margin~~Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal ~~2010 decreased 25~~2011 was stronger than expected in both operating groups. Revenue increased 40.3% year over year to $6.67 billion driven by acquisitions and 16.2% organic revenue growth; representing the fifth consecutive quarter of double-digit, year-over-year organic growth. Year-over-year organic revenue growth for EM was 18.3% and was strongest in the EMEA region due to high demand in the industrial and automotive markets. Year-over-year organic revenue growth for TS was 13.2% and was driven primarily by demand for servers and storage.

Gross profit margin was down 46 basis points year over year. EM gross profit margin declined 10 basis points year over year primarily due to the addition of the lower gross profit margin but higher working capital velocity embedded business acquired from Bell Micro and the embedded business that was transferred from TS, as noted above. Excluding the impact of the embedded businesses, gross profit margin in the EM core components business increased approximately 30 basis points year over year. TS gross profit margin declined 78 basis points year over year primarily attributable to the EMEA region which was impacted by the integration of the Bell business because of its lower gross profit margin profile than the legacy TS EMEA business. Although the Bell business has a lower gross profit margin profile due to its product mix, it is expected to have a higher working capital velocity which should yield a similar return on working capital as the existing Avnet business upon the realization of the anticipated synergies of at least $60 million annualized. On a sequential basis, enterprise gross profit margin increased 36 basis points, primarily due to the mix of business between EM and TS as the higher gross profit margin EM business grew to 59% of consolidated revenue from 53% in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

Operating income margin was up 9 basis points year over year to 12.3%. The year-over-year decline was due to the combination of a geographic mix shift to the lower gross profit margin Asia region, which represented 25.7% of total sales as compared with 19.9% in the prior year third quarter3.6% and ~~lower gross profit margin in~~improved 25 basis points sequentially. EM EMEA. The negative effects of the recession began later in the EMEA region than in the Americas and, as a result, the region’s recovery is also expected to occur later than the Americas. Although gross profit margin is downoperating income margins improved 73 basis points year over year ~~it has improved 83~~to 5.7%. The improvement was attributable to operating leverage in the Western regions, primarily EMEA, due to strong revenue growth, associated gross profits, and continued expense efficiencies, as well as consistent performance in Asia. TS operating income margin declined 58 basis points ~~sequentially with both operating groups contributing to the improvement.~~

~~Operating income was $167.2 million as compared with an~~year over year primarily due lower operating income margins of ~~$55.6~~the acquired Bell business, which, as noted above, has a lower margin but higher working capital velocity business model. The integrations of the acquired businesses have been substantially completed as of the end of March and for which management expects the benefit of at least $60 million of annualized synergies to be realized in the ~~year-ago quarter. As described further in this MD&A, the Company recognized restructuring, integration and other charges of $7.3 million pre-tax and $32.7 million pre-tax in the third~~first quarter of fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively. Excluding these charges, operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 increased 97.8% and operating income margin was 3.7% of consolidated sales as compared with 2.4% in the prior year third quarter. For EM, operating income margin improved to 5.0% from 2.8% in the prior year third quarter and improved sequentially for the third consecutive quarter. For TS, operating income improved slightly year over year as the Company continues to invest in China and manages through a challenging environment in EMEA.2012.

On March 29, 2010, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Bell Microproducts, Inc. (“Bell”), a value-added distributor of storage and computing technology which provides integration and support services to OEMs, VARs, system builders and end users in the U.S., Canada, EMEA and Latin America. Bell, which operates both a distribution and single tier reseller business, generated sales of approximately $3.0 billion in calendar 2009, which, if completed, would represents Avnet’s largest acquisition to date, based upon sales.. In calendar 2009, Bell’s sales from North America, EMEA and Latin America were 42%, 41% and 17%, respectively, of total sales. The transaction is for $7.00 in cash per Bell share which equates to an equity value of approximately $252 million and a transaction value of approximately $594 million assuming a net debt position for Bell of $342 million at face value as of December 31, 2009. The acquisition has been approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies and is subject to the approval of Bell’s shareholders as well as customary regulatory approvals. The transaction is expected to close in 60 to 90 days and is expected to be immediately accretive to earnings excluding integration and transaction costs. Although the integration plan is currently being formulated, the Company expects to integrate Bell into both the EM and TS operating groups and also expects cost saving synergies of approximately $50 million to $60 million upon completion of the integration.

The increase in operating income was attributable to the impact of acquisitions and the growth in gross profit dollars associated with the 16.2% organic sales growth. Both periods included restructuring, integration and other charges ~~previously mentioned. Excluding these charges,~~as described inRestructuring, Integration and Other Chargesabove. Consolidated operating income margin was 3.6% and 3.5% in the current and prior year third quarter, respectively. EM operating income of $224.8 million was up 55.9% year over year and operating income margin increased 73 basis points year over year to 5.7% and increased 57 basis points on a sequential basis. The year-over-year increase in operating income margin was driven by a combination of revenue growth and the associated growth in gross profit, continued expense productivity improvements, particularly in the Western regions, as well as consistent performance in Asia. TS operating income of $57.3 million increased 14.8% year over year while operating income margin declined 58 basis points year over year primarily due to lower operating margins of the acquired businesses as compared with existing TS businesses. In addition, as expected, the anticipated full synergies for Bell have not yet been fully realized as the IT integration of the Bell acquisition was just recently completed in EMEA. Corporate operating expenses were $25.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal ~~2010 increased 97.8% to $174.6 million, or 3.7% of consolidated sales,~~2011 as compared with operating income of $88.2 million, or 2.4% of consolidated sales, for the third quarter of fiscal 2009. EM operating income increased 142.1% to $144.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 and its operating income margin improved 215 basis points to 5.0% from the third quarter of fiscal 2009; with all three regions contributing to the improvement. This is the first time in six quarters that the EM operating income margin has reached 5.0%, which is within the long-term target range as established by management. TS operating income increased 18.3% to $49.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 and operating income margin remained relatively flat with a 4 basis point year over year improvement to 2.7% from the third quarter of fiscal 2009 as TS continued to incur incremental expenses as it makes investments in China. Corporate operating expenses were $19.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 as compared with $13.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The prior year third quarter operating expenses were unusually low due to the economic downturn and its impact on the accrual for equity compensation which is based upon performance targets. Conversely, corporate expenses in the current year third quarter are higher than typical primarily due to an increase in incentive compensation. The Company’s financial results through the third quarter of fiscal 2010 have exceeded established targets and, therefore, additional incentive compensation cost has been recognized.2010.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company acquired Unidux, a Japanese publicly traded company, through a tender offer in which the Company obtained over 95% of the controlling interest. After reassessing all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the consideration paid was below the fair value of the acquired net assets and, as a result, the Company recognized a gain on bargain purchase of $31.0 million pre- and after tax and $0.20 per share on a diluted basis. In addition, the Company recognized other charges of $2.0 million pre-tax primarily related to an impairment of buildings in EMEA.

During the ~~first~~ nine months of fiscal ~~2009,~~2011, the Company recognized an income tax adjustment of $19.8 million, or $0.13 per share on a diluted basis, primarily related to the non-cash write-off of a deferred tax asset associated with the integration of an acquisition. As mentioned previously, the Company recognized a ~~net~~gain of $31.0 million on the bargain purchase of Unidux which was not taxable.

The Company currently has full tax ~~benefit~~valuation allowances against significant tax assets related to certain legal entities in EMEA due to, among several other factors, a history of ~~$21.7 million, or $0.14 per share related~~losses in those entities. Recently, the operating units within these legal entities have been experiencing improved earnings which has required the partial release of the valuation allowance over the past several quarters and, therefore, has positively impacted (decreased) the Company’s effective tax rate. The continuation of improved earnings in these entities may indicate at least some of these tax assets may be realizable. The Company will continue to evaluate the need for tax valuation allowances against these tax assets. Should the Company determine the tax valuation allowance for these legal entities is no longer required, the Company’s effective tax rate will be positively impacted (decreased) upon the release of the tax ~~reserves due~~valuation allowance. Such a release may also negatively impact (increase) the effective tax rate in future quarters in comparison to prior periods as the ~~settlement~~partial releases of ~~certain tax audits~~such valuation allowances, which occurred in ~~Europe and also recognized a tax benefit of $34.1 million related to the impairment charges as substantially all of the impairment charges were not tax deductible.~~prior quarters, may no longer be required.

These results are comprised of: (1) cash flow generated from net income excluding non-cash and other reconciling items, which includes the add-back of depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, stock-based compensation and other non-cash items (primarily the provision for doubtful accounts and periodic pension costs) and (2) cash flow used for working capital, excluding cash and cash equivalents. Cash used for working capital during the third quarter of fiscal 2011 consisted of a reduction in payables of $250.3 million partially offset by a reduction in accounts receivable and inventory of $153.6 million and $78.4 million, respectively. For TS, the settlement of payables, which were incurred during its seasonally strong December quarter end, was partially offset by cash collections on the December sales. At EM, inventory remained relatively flat sequentially while receivables grew as a result of the double-digit sequential sales growth. During growth periods, the Company has been more likely to utilize operating cash flows for working capital to support business growth. Net days outstanding, in particular, receivable days, continue to be at or near pre-recession levels as there has not been any significant change in terms provided to customers.

Cash used for working capital during the third quarter of fiscal 2010 consisted of inventory growth of $83.6 million, a reduction in accounts payable of $169.5 million, a reduction in accrued expenses and other of $24.3 million, partially offset by a reduction in accounts receivable of $60.8 million. ~~This increase in working capital was driven by the significant growth in sales which resulted in a year-over-year improvement in net days outstanding which decreased 15 days to 46 days.~~

In comparison, cash generated from working capital during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was the result of $583.1 million reduction of receivables, a $197.4 million reduction in inventory; both of which were partially offset by payments on accounts payable ($374.3 million). During the first nine months of fiscal 2009, the Company generated $788.1 million in cash from operating activities while revenues were declining, primarily as a result of effective working capital management as working capital was reduced to align with the declining revenues.

During the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2009, the Company utilized cash of $320.1 million and $329.3 million, respectively, related to net repayments of notes and bank credit facilities. In March 2009, $298.1 million of the 2% Convertible Senior Debentures due March 15, 2034 (the “Debentures”) were put back to the Company. As a result of the substantial cash generation from operating activities during the third quarter of fiscal 2009,2010, the Company used ~~cash on hand to settle the $298.1~~proceeds of $26.2 million and received proceeds of ~~Debentures principal plus accrued interest.~~$13.5 million, respectively, from bank credit facilities.

As a result of acquisitions during the first nine months of fiscal 2011, the Company acquired debt of $420.3 million, of which $211.9 million was repaid (including associated fees) at the acquisition dates. As of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the outstanding balances associated with the acquired debt and credit facilities consisted of $60.0 million in bank credit facilities and other debt primarly used to support the acquired foreign operations.

Notes outstanding at April ~~3, 2010~~2, 2011 consisted of:

$300.0 million of 5.875% Notes due March 15, 2014

$250.0 million of 6.00% Notes due September 1, 2015

$300.0 million of 6.625% Notes due September 15, 2016

$300.0 million of 5.875% Notes due June 15, 2020

	•		~~$300.0 million of 5.875% Notes due March 15, 2014~~

	•		~~$250.0 million of 6.00% Notes due September 1, 2015~~

	•		~~$300.0 million of 6.625% Notes due September 15, 2016~~

The $104.8 million of 3.75% Notes due March 5, 2024 were assumed in the Bell acquisition. Prior to the Bell acquisition, the 3.75% Notes were convertible into Bell common stock; however, as a result of the acquisition, the debt is no longer convertible into shares. Under the terms of the 3.75% Notes, the Company may redeem some or all of the 3.75% Notes for cash anytime on or after March 5, 2011 and the note holders may require the Company to purchase for cash some or all of the 3.75% Notes on March 5, 2011, March 5, 2014 or March 5, 2019 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus interest. During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company issued a tender offer for the 3.75% Notes for which approximately $5.2 million was tendered and paid in Septebmer 2010. During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the note holders tendered substantially all of the notes for which $104.4 million was paid in March 2011.

In addition to its primary financing arrangements, the Company has several small lines of credit in various locations to fund the short-term working capital, foreign exchange, overdraft and letter of credit needs of its wholly owned subsidiaries in Europe, Asia and Canada. Avnet generally guarantees its subsidiaries’ obligations under these facilities.

Covenants and Conditions

The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants with various limitations on debt incurrence, dividends, investments and capital expenditures and also includes financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain minimum interest coverage and leverage ratios, as defined. Management does not believe that the covenants in the Credit Agreement limit the Company’s ability to pursue its intended business strategy or future financing needs. The Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Agreement as of April ~~3, 2010.~~2, 2011.

The Securitization Program requires the Company to maintain certain minimum interest coverage and leverage ratios as defined in the Credit Agreement in order to continue utilizing the Securitization Program. The Securitization Program also contains certain covenants relating to the quality of the receivables sold. If these conditions are not met, the Company may not be able to borrow any additional funds and the financial institutions may consider this an amortization event, as defined in the agreement, which would permit the financial institutions to liquidate the accounts receivables sold to cover any outstanding borrowings. Circumstances that could affect the Company’s ability to meet the required covenants and conditions of the Securitization Program include the Company’s ongoing profitability and various other economic, market and industry factors. Management does not believe that the covenants under the Securitization Program limit the Company’s ability to pursue its intended business strategy or future financing needs. The Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Securitization Program as of April ~~3, 2010.~~

During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company recognized non-cash impairment charges of $1.35 billion pre-tax, $1.31 billion after tax and $8.72 per share, which had no effect on the Company’s compliance with its financial covenants under the Securitization Program or the Credit Agreement.2, 2011.

SeeLiquiditybelow for further discussion of the Company’s availability under these various facilities.

Liquidity

The Company had total borrowing capacity of ~~$950.0 million~~$1.1 billion at April ~~3, 2010~~2, 2011 under the Credit Agreement and the Securitization Program. There were ~~$85.3~~$100.3 million in borrowings outstanding and ~~$2.0~~$14.1 million in letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement and $485.0 million outstanding under the Securitization Program, resulting in ~~$862.7~~$500.6 million of net availability at the end of the third quarter. The Company also had ~~$754.6~~$781.7 million of cash and cash equivalents at April ~~3, 2010.~~2, 2011.

~~The Company has no other significant financial commitments outside of normal debt and lease maturities discussed in~~~~Capital Structure and Contractual Obligations.~~However, as previously mentioned in this MD&A, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Bell in an all cash deal with a transaction value of approximately $594 million. The Company expects to utilize a combination of cash on hand and available borrowing capacity to fund the acquisition.

Management believes that Avnet’s borrowing capacity, its current cash availability and the Company’s expected ability to generate operating cash flows are sufficient to meet its projected financing needs. During periods of weakening demand in the electronic component and enterprise computer solutions industry, as was experienced in the prior fiscal year, the Company typically generates cash from operating activities; specifically, the Company generated $1.1 billion of cash from operating activities in fiscal 2009. Conversely, the Company is also more likely to use operating cash flows for working capital requirements during periods of higher growth. During the ~~third quarter and~~ first nine months of fiscal ~~2010,~~2011, the Company utilized ~~$63.4~~$691.0 million and $154.7 million, respectively, in cash from operations as sales grew significantly year over year. On a trailing twelve month basis, through the third quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company generated cash from operating activities of $175 million. As the Company continues to experience accelerated growth, management does not expect to continue to generate the same levels of cash, ~~from operating activities~~net of cash acquired, for acquisitions, which included repayments of certain debt assumed in ~~fiscal 2010~~the acquisitions. The Company assumed a total of $420.3 million of debt as ~~were generated in fiscal 2009.~~

a result of the acquisitions and repaid $211.9 million of assumed debt (including associated fees) at the acquisition dates. The Company has been making and expects to continue to make strategic investments through acquisition activity to the extent the investments strengthen Avnet’s competitive position and meet management’s return on capital thresholds. In anticipation of the continued acquisition activity in addition to the increased volume of business associated with completed acquisitions, the Company amended its Securitization Program in August 2010 to increase the borrowing capacity from $450.0 million to $600.0 million to support the future growth of the business.

During periods of weakening demand in the electronic component and enterprise computer solutions industry, the Company typically generates cash from operating activities. Conversely, the Company is also more likely to use operating cash flows for working capital requirements during periods of higher growth. In the first nine months of fiscal 2011, the Company utilized $3.4 million of cash for operations. Management believes that Avnet’s borrowing capacity, its current cash availability and the Company’s expected ability to generate operating cash flows in the future are sufficient to meet its projected financing needs.

The Company’s quick assets (consisting of cash and cash equivalents and receivables) increased ~~14.5%~~17.6% from ~~June 27, 2009~~July 3, 2010 to April 2, 2011 due primarily to the increase in receivables resulting from increased volume of business associated with the acquisitions since prior fiscal year end and the impact of the change in foreign currency exchange spot rates at April 2, 2011 as compared with July 3, ~~2010~~2010. Current assets increased 23.9% due to the increase in receivables and inventory, also a result of the recent acquisitions, the impact of the change in foreign currency exchange spot rates and the growth in sales. Current liabilities increased 37.4% primarily due to the ~~accelerated revenue growth experienced since the prior fiscal year end.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

~~In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification~~^TM (“ASC”) as the single source of authoritative US GAAP, organized by topic, and creates a new referencing system to identify authoritative guidance such that references to SFAS, EITF, etc. will no longer be valid. The Codification does not create any new GAAP standards. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and releases will remain as sources of authoritative US GAAP for SEC registrants. The standard was effective for the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2010 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which changes the analysis required to determine controlling interest in variable interest entities and requires additional disclosures regarding a company’s involvement with such entities. The standard, which is effective beginning the Company’s fiscal year 2011, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which eliminates the concept of qualifying special purpose entities, limits the number of financial assets and liabilities that qualify for derecognition, and requires additional disclosures. The standard, which is effective beginning the Company’s fiscal year 2011, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which requires disclosure about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements in order to provide more timely information about the effects of current market conditions on financial instruments. The standard, which was effective beginning the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2010, did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the debt and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument. The standard requires the convertible debt to be recognized at the present value of its cash flows discounted using the non-convertible debt borrowing rate at the date of issuance. The resulting debt discount from this present value calculation is to be recognized as the value of the equity component and recorded to “additional paid in capital.” The discounted convertible debt is then required to be accreted up to its face value through interest expense over the expected life of the convertible debt. In addition, deferred financing costs associated with the convertible debt are required to be allocated between the debt and equity components based upon relative values. During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company adopted this standard; however, there was no impact to the fiscal 2010 consolidated financial statements because the Company’s $300.0 million 2% Convertible Senior Debentures, to which this standard applies, were extinguished in fiscal 2009. Due to the required retrospective application to prior periods, the Company adjusted the prior period comparative consolidated financial statements presented in this Form 10-Q.

In December 2007, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which establishes the requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. The standard requires acquisition costs be expensed instead of capitalized as was required under prior purchase accounting standards and also establishes disclosure requirements for business combinations. The standard, which was effective beginning in the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2010, did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations based upon the Company’s level of acquisition activity during the first nine months of fiscal 2010.

In December 2007, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which are now termed “non-controlling interests.” The standard requires non-controlling interests to be presented as a separate component of equity and requires the amount of net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest to be separately identified on the consolidated statement of operations. The standard, which was effective for the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2010, did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company does not currently have any material non-controlling interests.

In February 2008, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which delayed the effective date of the fair value measurement guidance for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed as fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The standard, which was effective for the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2010, did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.None.

~~Item 3~~


Item 3.		*. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk*

The Company seeks to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility associated with changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates by entering into financial arrangements, from time to time, which are intended to provide a hedge against all or a portion of the risks associated with such volatility. The Company continues to have exposure to such risks to the extent they are not hedged.

See Item 7A,Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended ~~June 27, 2009~~July 3, 2010 for further discussion of market risks associated with interest rates and foreign currency exchange. Avnet’s exposure to foreign exchange risks have not changed materially since ~~June 27, 2009~~July 3, 2010 as the Company continues to hedge the majority of its foreign exchange exposures. Thus, any increase or decrease in fair value of the Company’s foreign exchange contracts is generally offset by an opposite effect on the related hedged position.

SeeLiquidity and Capital Resources — Financing Transactionsappearing in Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for further discussion of the Company’s financing facilities and capital structure. As of April ~~3, 2010, 86%~~2, 2011, 61.2% of the Company’s debt bears interest at a fixed rate and ~~14%~~38.8% of the Company’s debt bears interest at variable rates. Therefore, a hypothetical 1.0% (100 basis ~~point)~~points) increase in interest rates would result in a ~~$0.3~~$1.8 million impact on income before income taxes in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the quarter ended April ~~3, 2010.~~2, 2011.


Item 4.		*Controls and Procedures*

The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the reporting period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective such that material information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

During the third quarter of fiscal ~~2010,~~2011, there were no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.		*Legal Proceedings*

As a result primarily of certain former manufacturing operations, Avnet has incurred and may have future liability under various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, including those governing pollution and exposure to, and the handling, storage and disposal of, hazardous substances. For example, under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (“CERCLA”) and similar state laws, Avnet is and may be liable for the costs of cleaning up environmental contamination on or from certain of its current or former properties, and at off-site locations where the Company disposed of wastes in the past. Such laws may impose joint and several liability. Typically, however, the costs for cleanup at such sites are allocated among potentially responsible parties based upon each party’s relative contribution to the contamination, and other factors.

Pursuant to SEC regulations, including but not limited to Item 103 of Regulation S-K, the Company regularly assesses the status of and developments in pending environmental legal proceedings to determine whether any such proceedings should be identified specifically in this discussion of legal proceedings, and has concluded that no particular pending environmental legal proceeding requires public disclosure. Based on the information known to date, management believes that the Company has appropriately accrued in its consolidated financial statements for its share of the estimated costs associated with the environmental clean up of sites in which the Company is participating.

The Company and/or its subsidiaries are also parties to various other legal proceedings arising from time to time in the normal course of business. While litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, management currently believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flow or results of operations.
