PART I

Item 1.Business

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 that can be customized to meet the requirements of both customers and suppliers.

Organizational Structure

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”). Each operating group has its own management team led by a group president and includes regional presidents and senior executives within the operating group who manage the various functions within the businesses. Each operating group also has distinct financial reporting that is evaluated at the corporate level on which operating decisions and strategic planning for the Company as a whole are made. Divisions exist within each operating group that serve primarily as sales and marketing units to further streamline the sales and marketing efforts within each operating group and enhance each operating group’s ability to work with its customers and suppliers, generally along more specific product lines or geographies. However, each division relies heavily on the support services provided by the operating group as well as centralized support at the corporate level.

Avnet’s operating groups and their sales are as follows:

	Fiscal 2010		Percentage
Region	Sales		of Sales
	(Millions)
EM Americas	$	3,434.6		17.9	%
EM EMEA		3,651.1		19.0
EM Asia		3,881.1		20.3
Total EM		10,966.8		57.2
TS Americas		4,932.7		25.8
TS EMEA		2,297.2		12.0
TS Asia		963.5		5.0
Total TS		8,193.4		42.8
Total Avnet	$	19,160.2		100.0	%

Foreign Operations

As noted in the operating group discussions, Avnet has significant operations in all three major economic regions of the world: the Americas, EMEA and Asia /Pacific. The percentage of Avnet’s consolidated sales by region is presented in the following table:

	Percentage of Sales for Fiscal Year
Region	2010			2009			2008
Americas		44	%		47	%		48	%
EMEA		31			32			33
Asia/Pac		25			21			19
		100	%		100	%		100	%

Avnet’s foreign operations are subject to a variety of risks. These risks are discussed further underRisk Factorsin Item 1A and underQuantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Riskin Item 7A of this Report. Additionally, the specific translation impacts of foreign currency fluctuations, most notably the Euro, on the Company’s consolidated financial statements are further discussed inManagement’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operationsin Item 7 of this Report.

Acquisitions

Avnet has historically pursued a strategic acquisition program to grow its geographic and market coverage in world markets for electronic components and computer products and solutions. This program was a significant factor in Avnet becoming one of the largest industrial distributors of such products and services worldwide. Avnet expects to continue to pursue strategic acquisitions as part of its overall growth strategy, with its focus likely directed primarily at smaller targets in markets where the Company is seeking to expand its market presence, increase its scale and scope and/or increase its product or service offerings.

On July 6, 2010, subsequent to fiscal 2010, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of Bell Microproducts Inc. (“Bell”), a value-added distributor of storage and computing technology 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 generated in North America, EMEA and Latin America, respectively. The consideration for the transaction consisted of $7.00 in cash per share of Bell common stock, which represented an equity value of approximately $252 million, including the accelerated vesting of, and payment in cash for, Bell equity awards of approximately $25 million (which will be expensed in the first quarter of fiscal 2011), and the assumption of approximately $323 million in net debt, thereby resulting in an aggregate transaction value of approximately $575 million. The transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to earnings excluding integration and transaction costs. The Company is integrating Bell into both the EM and TS operating groups and expects cost saving synergies of approximately $50 million to $60 million upon completion of the integration activities, which are anticipated to be completed by the end of fiscal 2011.

5

Also subsequent to fiscal year 2010, the Company completed its acquisition of Tallard, a value-added distributor of IT solutions in Latin America with annualized revenues of approximately $250 million, and completed a tender offer of Unidux, an electronics component distributor in Japan with annualized revenues of approximately $370 million.

Major Products

One of Avnet’s competitive strengths is the breadth and quality of the suppliers whose products it distributes. IBM products accounted for approximately 15%, 15% and 14% of the Company’s consolidated sales during fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and was the only supplier from which sales of its products exceeded 10% of consolidated sales. Listed in the table below are the major product categories and the Company’s approximate sales of each during the past three fiscal years:

	Years Ended
	July 3,		June 27,		June 28,
	2010		2009		2008
	(Millions)
Semiconductors	$	10,098.7	$	8,324.0	$	9,561.2
Computer products		7,302.8		6,393.4		6,925.5
Connectors		841.4		735.2		713.9
Passives, electromechanical and other		917.3		777.3		752.1
	$	19,160.2	$	16,229.9	$	17,952.7

Competition & Markets

Avnet is one of the world’s largest industrial distributors, based on sales, of electronic components and computer products and services. The Company has more than 300 locations worldwide, as well as, a limited number of instances where Avnet-owned product is stored in customer facilities. Some of these locations contain sales, warehousing and administrative functions for multiple sales and marketing units.

The electronic components and computer products industries continue to be extremely competitive and are subject to rapid technological advances. The Company’s major competitors include Arrow Electronics, Inc., Future Electronics and World Peace Group. There are also certain smaller, specialized competitors who generally focus on narrower markets, products or particular sectors. As a result of these factors, Avnet must remain competitive in its pricing of goods and services.

Another key competitive factor in the electronic component and computer product distribution industry is the need to carry a sufficient amount of inventory to meet customers’ rapid delivery requirements. However, to minimize its exposure related to valuation of inventory on hand, the majority of the Company’s products are purchased pursuant to non-exclusive distributor agreements, which typically provide certain protections to the Company for product obsolescence and price erosion in the form of rights of return and price protection. Furthermore, these agreements are generally cancelable upon 30 to 180 days’ notice and, in most cases, provide for inventory return privileges upon cancellation. In addition, the Company enhances its competitive position by offering a variety of value-added services which entail the performance of services and/or processes tailored to individual customer specifications and business needs such as point of use replenishment, testing, assembly, supply chain management and materials management.

Another competitive advantage is the size of the supplier base. Because of the number of Avnet’s suppliers, many customers can simplify their procurement process and make all of their required purchases from Avnet, rather than purchasing from several different vendors.

6

Seasonality

Historically, Avnet’s business has not been materially impacted by seasonality, with the exception of a relatively minor impact on consolidated results from the growth in revenues in the Technology Solutions business during the December quarter primarily driven by the fiscal year end of a key supplier.

Number of Employees

At July 3, 2010, Avnet had approximately 14,200 employees.

Item 1A.Risk Factors

Forward-Looking Statements And Risk Factors

This Report contains forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of Avnet. These statements are generally identified by words like “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “should,” “will,” “may,” “estimates” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties.

Avnet does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements include the following:

Uncertainties in the current global economic recovery make it very difficult to forecast with a great deal of confidence the overall supply and demand throughout the IT supply chain.

The recent financial- and credit-induced global economic downturn had significant negative impact on the Company’s financial results as Avnet experienced a rapid decline in end-market demand during the later part of fiscal 2008 and during fiscal 2009, first in its Technology Solutions operating group and then in its Electronics Marketing operating group. The Company’s operating results over the past three quarters would suggest that the business has experienced a significant recovery, much faster than had been expected. However, there can be no assurance that the recovery to date will continue at the current pace or at all; nor can there be any assurance that such economic volatility experienced over the past two years will not reoccur or continue.

The electronics component and computer industries are highly competitive and if the Company fails to compete effectively, its revenues may decline.

The market for the Company’s products and services is very competitive and subject to rapid technological advances. Not only does the Company compete with other global distributors, it also competes for customers with regional distributors and some of the Company’s own suppliers. The Company’s failure to maintain and enhance its competitive position could adversely affect its business and prospects. Furthermore, the Company’s efforts to compete in the marketplace could cause deterioration of gross profit margins and, thus, overall profitability.

The size of the Company’s competitors vary across market sectors, as do the resources the Company has allocated to the sectors and geographic areas in which it does business. Therefore, some of the competitors may have greater financial, personnel, capacity and other resources or a more extensive customer base than the Company has in one or more of its market sectors and geographic areas.

An industry down-cycle in semiconductors could significantly affect the Company’s operating results as a large portion of revenues comes from sales of semiconductors, which is a highly cyclical industry.

The semiconductor industry historically has experienced periodic fluctuations in product supply and demand, often associated with changes in technology and manufacturing capacity, and is generally considered to be highly cyclical. During each of the last three fiscal years, sales of semiconductors represented over 50% of the Company’s consolidated sales, and the Company’s revenues, particularly those of EM, closely follow the strength or weakness of the semiconductor market. Future downturns in the technology industry, particularly in the semiconductor sector, could negatively affect the Company’s operating results and negatively impact the Company’s ability to maintain its current profitability levels.

Failure to maintain its relationships with key suppliers could adversely affect the Company’s sales.

One of the Company’s competitive strengths is the breadth and quality of the suppliers whose products the Company distributes. However, sales of products and services from one of the Company’s suppliers, IBM, accounted for approximately 15% of the Company’s consolidated sales in fiscal year 2010. Management expects IBM products and services to continue to account for roughly a similar percentage of the Company’s consolidated sales in fiscal year 2011. The Company’s contracts with its suppliers, including those with IBM, vary in duration and are generally terminable by either party at will upon notice. To the extent IBM or other primary suppliers significantly reduce their volume of business with the Company in the future, the Company’s business and relationships with its customers could be materially and adversely affected because its customers depend on the Company’s distribution of electronic components and computer products from the industry’s leading suppliers. In addition, to the extent that any of the Company’s key suppliers modify the terms of their contracts including, without limitation, the terms regarding price protection, rights of return, rebates or other terms that protect the Company’s gross margins, it could materially and adversely affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

8

Declines in the value of the Company’s inventory or unexpected order cancellations by the Company’s customers could materially and adversely affect its business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

The electronic components and computer products industries are subject to rapid technological change, new and enhanced products and evolving industry standards, which can contribute to a decline in value or obsolescence of inventory. During an industry or general economic downturn, it is possible that prices will decline due to an oversupply of products and, as a result of the price declines, there may be greater risk of declines in inventory value. Although it is the policy of many of the Company’s suppliers to offer distributors like Avnet certain protections from the loss in value of inventory (such as price protection and limited rights of return), the Company cannot be assured that such policies will fully compensate for the loss in value, or that the vendors will choose to, or be able to, honor such agreements, some of which are not documented and, therefore, subject to the discretion of the vendor. In addition, the Company’s sales are typically made pursuant to individual purchase orders, and the Company generally does not have long-term supply arrangements with its customers. Generally, the Company’s customers may cancel orders 30 days prior to shipment with minimal penalties. The Company cannot be assured that unforeseen new product developments, declines in the value of the Company’s inventory or unforeseen order cancellations by its customers will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

Substantial defaults by the Company’s customers on its accounts receivable or the loss of significant customers could have a significant negative impact on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

A significant portion of the Company’s working capital consists of accounts receivable from customers. If customers responsible for a significant amount of accounts receivable were to become insolvent or otherwise unable to pay for products and services, or were to become unwilling or unable to make payments in a timely manner, the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity could be adversely affected. An economic or industry downturn could adversely and materially affect the servicing of these accounts receivable, which could result in longer payment cycles, increased collection costs and defaults in excess of management’s expectations. A significant deterioration in the Company’s ability to collect on accounts receivable could also impact the cost or availability of financing under its accounts receivable securitization program (seeFinancing Transactionsappearing in Item 7 of this Report).

The Company’s non-US locations represent a significant and growing portion of its revenue, and consequently, the Company is increasingly exposed to risks associated with operating internationally.

During fiscal year 2010, 2009 and 2008, approximately 56%, 53% and 52%, respectively, of the Company’s sales came from its operations outside the United States. As a result of the Company’s foreign sales and locations, in particular those in emerging and developing economies, the Company’s operations are subject to a variety of risks that are specific to international operations, including, but not limited to, the following:

• potential restrictions on the Company’s ability to repatriate funds from its foreign subsidiaries;

• foreign currency fluctuations and the impact on the Company’s reported results of operations;

• import and export duties and value-added taxes;

• compliance with foreign and domestic import and export regulations and anti-corruption laws, the failure of which could result in severe penalties including monetary fines, criminal proceedings and suspension of export privileges;

• changing tax laws and regulations;

• regulatory requirements and prohibitions that differ between jurisdictions;

• political instability, terrorism and potential military conflicts;

9

• differing employment practices and labor issues; and

• the risk of non-compliance with local laws.

The potential criminal penalties for violations of export regulations and anti-corruption laws, particularly the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, data privacy laws and environmental laws and regulations in many jurisdictions, create heightened risks for the Company’s international operations. In the event that a governing regulatory body determined that the Company had violated applicable export regulations or anti-corruption laws, the Company could be fined significant sums, incur sizable legal defense costs and/or its export capabilities could be restricted, which could have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s business. While the Company has and will continue to adopt measures designed to ensure compliance with these laws, the Company cannot be assured that such measures will be adequate or that its business will not be materially and adversely impacted in the event of an alleged violation.

The Company’s acquisition strategy may not produce the expected benefits, which may adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.

Avnet historically has pursued a strategic acquisition program to grow its global business for electronic and computer products thereby enabling Avnet to solidify and maintain its leadership position in the marketplace. Risks and uncertainties are inherent in the merger and acquisition process in that such activities may, among other things, divert management’s attention from existing business operations. In addition, the Company may not be successful in integrating the acquired businesses or the integration may be more difficult, costly or time-consuming than anticipated. Consequently, the Company may experience disruptions that could, depending on the size of the acquisition, have a material adverse effect on its business, especially where an acquisition target may have pre-existing non-compliance or pre-existing deficiencies or material weaknesses as those terms are defined under relevant SEC rules and regulations. Furthermore, the Company may not realize all of the anticipated benefits from its acquisitions, which could materially and adversely affect the Company’s financial performance.

If the Company fails to maintain effective internal controls, it may not be able to report its financial results accurately or timely or detect fraud, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or stock price.

Effective internal controls are necessary for the Company to provide reasonable assurance with respect to its financial reports and to effectively prevent fraud. If the Company cannot provide reasonable assurance with respect to its financial reports and effectively prevent fraud, its brand and operating results could be harmed. Pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Company is required to furnish a report by management on internal control over financial reporting, including management’s assessment of the effectiveness of such control. Internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud. Therefore, even effective internal controls cannot provide absolute assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. If the Company fails to maintain the adequacy of its internal controls, including any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or if the Company experiences difficulties in their implementation, the Company’s business and operating results could be harmed, and the Company could fail to meet its reporting obligations, which could have a material adverse effect on its business and the market price of the Company’s securities.

If the Company’s internal information systems fail to function properly, or if the Company is unsuccessful in the integration or upgrade of information systems, its business operations could suffer.

The Company’s expanding operations put increasing pressure on the Company’s information systems to produce timely, accurate and reliable reports on financial and operational results. Currently, the Company’s global operations are tracked with multiple information systems, some of which are subject to on-going IT projects designed to streamline or optimize its global information systems. There is no guarantee that the Company will be successful at all times in these efforts or that there will not be integration difficulties that will adversely affect the Company’s operations or the accurate and timely recording and reporting of financial data. In addition, these systems are subject to computer hacking or other general system failure. Maintaining and operating these systems requires continuous investments. Failure of any of these information systems or material difficulties in upgrading these information systems could have material adverse effects on the Company’s business and its compliance with reporting obligations under federal securities laws.

Major disruptions to the Company’s logistics capability could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operations.

The Company’s global logistics services are operated through specialized and centralized distribution centers around the globe. The Company also depends almost entirely on third party transportation service providers for the delivery of products to its customers. A major interruption or disruption in service at one or more of our distribution centers for any reason (such as natural disasters, pandemics, or significant disruptions of services from our third party providers) could cause cancellations or delays in a significant number of shipments to customers and, as a result, could have a severe impact on the Company’s business, operations and financial performance.

The Company may not have adequate or cost-effective liquidity or capital resources.

The Company’s ability to satisfy its cash needs depends on its ability to generate cash from operations and to access the financial markets, both of which are subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond the Company’s control.

The Company may need to satisfy its cash needs through external financing. However, external financing may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. As of July 3, 2010, Avnet had total debt outstanding of $1,280.2 million under various notes and committed and uncommitted lines of credit with financial institutions. The Company needs cash to make interest payments on, and to refinance, this indebtedness and for general corporate purposes, such as funding its ongoing working capital and capital expenditure needs. Under the terms of any external financing, the Company may incur higher than expected financing expenses and become subject to additional restrictions and covenants. Any material increase in the Company’s financing costs could have a material adverse effect on its profitability.

Under some of its credit facilities, the Company is required to maintain certain specified financial ratios and meet certain tests. If the Company fails to meet these financial ratios and tests, it may be unable to continue to utilize these facilities. If the Company could not continue to utilize these facilities, it may not have sufficient cash available to make interest payments on and refinance indebtedness and for general corporate needs.

The agreements governing some of the Company’s financings contain various covenants and restrictions that limit the discretion of management in operating its business and could prevent us from engaging in some activities that may be beneficial to the Company’s business.

The agreements governing the Company’s financing, including its five-year, $500 million credit facility and the indentures governing the Company’s outstanding notes, contain various covenants and restrictions that, in certain circumstances, limit the Company’s ability and the ability of certain subsidiaries to:

• grant liens on assets;

• make restricted payments (including paying dividends on capital stock or redeeming or repurchasing capital stock);

• make investments;

• merge, consolidate or transfer all or substantially all of the Company’s assets;

• incur additional debt; or

• engage in certain transactions with affiliates.

As a result of these covenants and restrictions, the Company may be limited in the future in how it conducts its business and may be unable to raise additional debt, compete effectively or make further investments.

11

In addition to the specific factors described above, general economic or business conditions, domestic and foreign, may be less favorable than management expected and, if such conditions persist for a sustained period of time, could eventually adversely impact the Company’s sales or its ability to collect receivables from some of its customers.

Item 1B.Unresolved Staff Comments

Not applicable.

Item 2.Properties

The Company owns and leases approximately 1,259,000 and 4,128,000 square feet of space, respectively, of which approximately 38% is located in the United States. The following table summarizes certain of the Company’s key facilities.

Item 3.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 formerly occupied properties, and at off-site locations where the Company disposed of wastes in the past. Such laws may impose joint and several liabilities. 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.

(a) As adjusted for the retrospective application of an accounting standard. 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

15

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 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 of this standard to prior periods, the Company adjusted the prior period comparative consolidated financial statements. The following table summarizes the adjustments to increase (decrease) previously reported balances.

Item 7.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

For an understanding of Avnet and the significant factors that influenced the Company’s performance during the past three fiscal years, the following discussion should be read in conjunction with the description of the business appearing in Item 1 of this Report and the consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, and other information appearing in Item 15 of this Report. The Company operates on a “52/53 week” fiscal year. Fiscal 2010 contained 53 weeks while fiscal 2009 and 2008 both contained 52 weeks. This extra week, which occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, impacts the year-over-year analysis in this MD&A.

There are references to the impact of foreign currency translation in the discussion of the Company’s results of operations. Results for the full fiscal year 2010 were not significantly impacted by the movement of foreign currency exchanges rates as, for example, the US Dollar weakened against the Euro by approximately 1% during fiscal 2010. Fluctuations during the quarters of fiscal 2010 had a more pronounced impact on the Company’s comparative results as described in the Company’s Form 10-Q’s filed with the SEC. When comparing fiscal 2009 with 2008, the exchange rates between the US Dollar and many foreign currencies, especially the Euro, fluctuated significantly. For example, the US Dollar strengthened against the Euro by approximately 6% when comparing fiscal 2009 with fiscal 2008. When the 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 a decrease in US Dollars of reported results as compared with the prior period. When the US Dollar weakens, the resulting impact is an increase in US Dollars of reported results as compared with the prior period. 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, such as:

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

• Sales adjusted for the impact of acquisitions by adjusting Avnet’s prior periods to include the sales generated by businesses acquired as if the acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the period presented and, in the discussion that follows, the sales adjusted for acquisitions is referred to as “pro forma sales” or “organic sales.”

• Operating income excluding restructuring, integration and other charges incurred in fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008 as well as the non-cash goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges recognized during fiscal 2009. The impact of these items is presented in the following table:

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. Furthermore, management typically monitors the business both including and excluding these items and uses these non-GAAP measures to establish operational goals and, in some cases, for measuring performance for compensation purposes. However, analysis of results and outlook on a non-GAAP basis should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with GAAP.

Results of Operations

Executive Summary

Fiscal 2010 financial results exceeded management’s expectations as the technology markets continued to recover from the recession, which began in fiscal 2009 and continued into the first quarter of fiscal 2010. Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company experienced double digit year-over-year revenue growth in each quarter and ended the fiscal year with record revenue of $19.16 billion, an increase in revenue of 18% over fiscal 2009. Both operating groups contributed to the significant growth as organic revenue increased over 15% year over year. In addition, due to the Company’s 52/53 week fiscal calendar, fiscal 2010 included an extra week when compared with fiscal 2009, which management estimates added approximately $400 million in sales.

Although gross profit margin has continued to improve sequentially in the last three quarters of fiscal 2010, it still declined 56 basis points year over year to 11.9%. The year-over-year decline was partially due to business mix and the negative economic environment as all three regions in both operating groups experienced declines, in particular in EM EMEA and TS Asia. Operating income increased significantly over the prior year to $635.6 million. The Company reported an operating loss of over $1 billion in fiscal 2009, as a result of the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets. The Company also recognized restructuring, integration and other charges in both fiscal 2010 and 2009. Excluding the impairment and restructuring, integration and other charges, operating income margin increased 42 basis points year over year. The improvement in operating income margin was primarily the result of effective cost management, including the impact of cost reduction actions taken during fiscal 2009 for which the full benefit was realized during fiscal 2010, as sales increased 18.1% year over year as compared with only a 5.7% increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Management continues to focus on managing working capital velocity, defined as annual sales (or quarterly sales annualized when calculating the velocity for a quarter) divided by the sum of the monthly average of receivables plus inventory less accounts payable). This focus resulted in working capital velocity improving to a record 7.8 times in fiscal 2010. As a result, the Company used only $30 million in cash from operations in fiscal 2010 to fund the 18% growth in revenue.

Subsequent to fiscal 2010, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of Bell Microproducts Inc. (“Bell”), a value-added distributor of storage and computing technology 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 generated in North America, EMEA and Latin America, respectively. The consideration for the transaction consisted of $7.00 in cash per share of Bell common stock, which represented an equity value of approximately $252 million, including the accelerated vesting of, and payment in cash for, Bell equity awards of approximately $25 million (which will be expensed in the first quarter of fiscal 2011), and the assumption of approximately $323 million in net debt, thereby resulting in an aggregate transaction value of approximately $575 million. The transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to future earnings excluding integration and transaction costs. The Company is integrating Bell into both the EM and TS operating groups and expects cost saving synergies of approximately $50 million to $60 million upon completion of the integration activities, which are anticipated to be completed by the end of fiscal 2011.

Also subsequent to fiscal year 2010, the Company completed it acquisition of Tallard, a value-added distributor of IT solutions in Latin America with annualized revenues of approximately $250 million, and also completed a tender offer for Unidux, an electronics component distributor in Japan with annualized revenues of approximately $370 million.

Fiscal 2010 Comparison to Fiscal 2009

The table below provides the comparison of reported fiscal 2010 and 2009 sales for the Company and its operating groups to pro forma (or organic) sales which consist of reported sales adjusted for acquisitions that closed in fiscal 2010 and 2009 as if the acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of fiscal year 2009 to allow readers to better assess and understand the Company’s revenue performance by operating group.

	Sales as		Acquisition		Pro Forma		2010 to 2009
	Reported		Sales		Sales		Pro Forma
	(Dollars in millions)						Change
EM	$	10,966.8	$	—	$	10,966.8		15.6	%
TS		8,193.4		119.1		8,312.5		15.2

Fiscal 2009	$	16,229.9	$	469.7	$	16,699.6

Consolidated sales in fiscal 2010 were $19.16 billion, up 18.1%, or $2.93 billion, over consolidated sales of $16.23 billion in fiscal 2009. The continued growth throughout fiscal 2010 exceeded management’s expectations as the technology markets recovered faster than anticipated following the rapid declines experienced in fiscal 2009. As mentioned earlier in this MD&A, fiscal 2010 included an extra week when compared with fiscal 2009, which management estimates added approximately $400 million in sales. Acquisitions also positively impacted fiscal 2010 results as organic growth was 15.5%.

EM sales of $10.97 billion increased 19.3%, or $1.77 billion, over sales of $9.19 billion in fiscal 2009. Organic sales increased 15.6% year over year. All three regions contributed to the year-over-year increase in EM sales led by the Asia region where sales increased 34.9%. The EMEA region sales increased 20.6% year over year and organic revenue growth was 12.5%. Excluding the translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, EM EMEA sales increased 19.9% year over year and organic sales increased 11.8%. Sales increased 4.5% from prior year in the Americas region, which had initially been slower to recover than the other EM regions; however, the Americas sales increased 17.8% and 39.5% year over year in the third and fourth quarters, respectively.

TS sales of $8.19 billion in fiscal 2010 were up 16.4%, or $1.16 billion, over sales of $7.04 billion in fiscal 2009. Organic sales increased 15.2% year over year. TS Asia sales increased 88.4% year over year and 59.8% on an organic sales basis as the Asia region was positively impacted by investments and acquisitions made in China. Sales increased 15.2% and 2.5% year over year in TS Americas and TS EMEA, respectively. Excluding the translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, TS EMEA sales increased 1.8% year over year. The EMEA region continues to lag in the economic recovery as compared with the other TS regions, although it did see robust year-over-year organic growth of approximately 13.8% in the fourth quarter.

Fiscal 2009 Comparison to Fiscal 2008

The table below provides the comparison of reported fiscal 2009 and 2008 sales for the Company and its operating groups to pro forma (or organic) sales which consist of reported sales adjusted for acquisitions that closed in fiscal 2009 and 2008 as if the acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of fiscal year 2008 to allow readers to better assess and understand the Company’s revenue performance by operating group.

							2010 to 2009
	Sales as		Acquisition		Pro Forma		Pro Forma
	Reported		Sales		Sales		Change
	(Dollars in millions)
EM	$	9,192.8	$	291.8	$	9,484.6		(16.0	)%
TS		7,037.1		0.6		7,037.7		(15.0	)
Fiscal 2009	$	16,229.9	$	292.4	$	16,522.3		(15.6	)
EM	$	10,326.8	$	969.2	$	11,296.0

Fiscal 2008	$	17,952.7	$	1,622.9	$	19,575.6

Consolidated sales for fiscal 2009 were $16.23 billion, declining 9.6%, or $1.72 billion, from the prior year consolidated sales of $17.95 billion. Excluding the translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, sales declined 6.5% year over year. Both operating groups experienced double digit organic contraction in sales as consolidated pro forma sales decreased 15.6% year over year. However, on a sequential quarterly basis, fourth quarter consolidated sales increased 1.8% and were essentially flat excluding the translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In response to the year-over-year organic sales contraction in both operating groups, management took actions during fiscal 2009 to reduce costs. See discussion underSelling, General and Administrative Expenseslater in this MD&A.

Fiscal 2009 EM sales of $9.19 billion declined 11.0% from fiscal 2008 sales of $10.33 billion and declined 8.5% excluding the translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The decline in revenue was most significant in the Americas and the EMEA regions as the global economic slowdown negatively impacted the broad industrial markets in those regions. Year-over-year sales declined 12.8%, 16.7% and 1.6% in the Americas, EMEA and Asia, respectively. Excluding the translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the EMEA region’s year-over-year sales declined 9.1% and 17.8% on a pro forma basis. Year-over-year organic sales in the Americas and Asia declined 14.6% and 6.7%, respectively, however, Asia sales grew 20.3% sequentially in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009.

Fiscal 2009 TS sales of $7.04 declined 7.7% year over year and 3.8% excluding the translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Organic sales declined 15.0% year over year. Year-over-year sales in the Americas and EMEA declined 10.9% and 3.7%, respectively, while Asia sales increased 3.9%. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, EMEA year-over-year revenue increased 7.7% but organic sales decreased 15.3% year over year.

Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margins

Consolidated gross profit for fiscal 2010 was $2.28 billion, up $257.2 million, or 12.7%, over the prior year primarily due to the increase in sales volume. Gross profit margin of 11.9% declined 56 basis points over the prior year with all regions in each operating group experiencing declines in margins. The gross profit margin at EM declined 63 basis points year over year partially due to geographic mix changes as the Asia region, which has a lower gross profit margin than the Americas or EMEA regions, represented 35% of EM sales in fiscal 2010 as compared with 31% in fiscal 2009. In addition, the EMEA region gross profit margins have been slower to recover than those in the Americas or Asia regions. The negative effects of the recession began later in the EMEA region than in the Americas and, as a result, the region’s recovery also occurred later than the other regions. However, the quarterly gross profit margin at EM improved sequentially during the last three quarters of fiscal 2010 in all three regions with the largest improvement in the EMEA region where gross profit margin increased over 100 basis points from the March to June quarter. TS gross profit margin was down 54 basis points year over year due to the combination of (i) geographic mix changes as the Asia region, which has lower gross profit margins than the Americas or EMEA regions, represented 12% of TS sales as compared with 7% in fiscal 2009, (ii) lower gross profit margins in Asia and (iii) lower gross profit margins in the Americas region.

21

Consolidated gross profit for fiscal 2009 was $2.02 billion, down $290.7 million, or 12.6%, over fiscal 2008 primarily due to the decline in revenue. Gross profit margin of 12.5% declined 43 basis points over prior year. For EM, gross profit margin was down 74 basis points year over year as it was negatively impacted by the combination of a regional mix shift to Asia, which represented 31% of EM sales as compared with 28% in the prior year, and lower margins in the Americas region. TS gross profit margin was up 10 basis points year over year as the EMEA region’s improvement was mostly offset by declines in the Americas and Asia regions.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general & administrative expenses (“SG&A expenses”) were $1.62 billion in fiscal 2010, an increase of $87.7 million, or 5.7%, as compared with $1.53 billion in fiscal 2009. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily attributable to supporting the increased sales volume, an additional week in fiscal 2010 and additional expenses associated with businesses acquired, partially offset by the impact of cost reduction actions. The cost reduction actions taken during fiscal 2009, as described in further detail below, were completed during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and the full benefit of the actions were realized beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2010.

Metrics that management monitors with respect to operating expenses are SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales and as a percentage of gross profit. SG&A expenses were 8.5% of sales and 71.0% of gross profit in fiscal 2010 as compared with 9.4% of sales and 75.7% of gross profit in fiscal 2009. The year-over-year improvement in these metrics is primarily the result of effective cost management, including the impact of cost reduction actions taken during fiscal 2009, as sales increased 18.1% year over year as compared with only a 5.7% increase in SG&A expenses.

SG&A expenses were $1.53 billion in fiscal 2009, a decrease of $32.5 million, or 2.1%, over fiscal 2008. Management estimates that this cost reduction was net of approximately $111 million in additional SG&A expenses associated with companies acquired in fiscal 2009, partially offset by a decrease in SG&A expenses of $67 million due to the translation impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In fiscal 2009, SG&A expenses were 9.4% of sales and 75.7% of gross profit as compared with 8.7% and 67.6%, respectively, in fiscal 2008.

Due to the decline in sales and gross profit margin which began late in fiscal 2008 and accelerated further during fiscal 2009, the Company initiated significant cost reduction actions to realign its expense structure with market conditions (seeRestructuring, Integration and Other Chargesfor a discussion of charges associated with the actions undertaken). In the third quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company began to experience demand weakness and organic sales growth at both EM and TS continued to slow through the first quarter of fiscal 2009. In the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company experienced continued sales deceleration in both operating groups, particularly in November in the Asia region and in December in the Americas region. During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, end demand in the EM business deteriorated even further, in particular in EM Americas and EM EMEA which have been the Company’s most profitable regions. As a result of the poor market conditions through mid-March of fiscal 2009, the Company took actions to reduce costs by approximately $200 million on an annualized basis and expected such actions to be completed by the end of the June quarter of fiscal 2009. However, based upon third quarter of fiscal 2009 results, the Company announced further actions to reduce annualized costs by an additional $25 million, bringing the aggregate annual cost reductions announced to approximately $225 million since March 2008. As of the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, management estimated that approximately $200 million in annualized cost savings had been achieved and the remaining cost reduction actions were completed at the end of September 2009; therefore, the full benefit of the cost savings of $225 million were reflected in the December quarter of fiscal 2010. In addition, the December quarter of 2010 included cost synergies of approximately $40 million as a result of acquisition integration activities most of which were completed by the end of fiscal 2009.

Impairment Charges

During fiscal 2009, the Company recognized non-cash goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges totaling $1.41 billion pre-tax, $1.38 billion after tax and $9.13 per share.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, due to a steady decline in the Company’s market capitalization due primarily to the global economic downturn’s impact on the Company’s performance and the turmoil in the equity markets, the Company determined an interim goodwill impairment test was necessary and performed the interim test on all six of its reporting units as of December 27, 2008. Based on the test results, the Company determined that goodwill at four of its reporting units was impaired. Accordingly, during the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $1.32 billion pre-tax, $1.28 billion 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.

22

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test which indicated that three of its six reporting units, including EM Asia and TS EMEA, continued to have fair values below their carrying values. As a result, the Company was required to recognize the impairment of additional goodwill which arose subsequent to the second quarter of fiscal 2009 in the EM Asia and TS EMEA reporting units. Of the non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $62.3 million pre- and after tax and $0.41 per share recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, $41.4 million related to the recently acquired business in Japan, which was assigned to the EM Asia reporting unit. Accounting standards require goodwill from an acquisition to be assigned to a reporting unit and also requires goodwill to be tested on a reporting unit level, not by individual acquisition. As noted above, the annual impairment analysis indicated that the fair value of the EM Asia reporting unit continued to be below its carrying value. As a result, the goodwill from the recent acquisition was required to be impaired. The remaining $20.8 million of the impairment charges related to additional goodwill in the TS EMEA reporting unit primarily as a result of final acquisition adjustments during the purchase price allocation period related to an acquisition for which the goodwill had been fully impaired in the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

During fiscal 2009, the Company also evaluated the recoverability of its long-lived assets at each of the reporting units where goodwill was deemed to be impaired. Based upon this evaluation, the Company determined that certain of its amortizable intangible assets were impaired. As a result, the Company recognized a non-cash intangible asset impairment charge of $31.4 million pre- and after tax and $0.21 per share during the second quarter of fiscal 2009. In conjunction with the annual goodwill impairment test, the Company again evaluated the recoverability of its long-lived assets during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 and determined that no impairment had occurred.

The non-cash impairment 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.

Restructuring, Integration and Other Charges

Fiscal 2010

During fiscal 2010, the Company recognized restructuring, integration and other charges of $25.4 million pre-tax, $18.8 million after tax and $0.12 per share on a diluted basis. The Company recognized restructuring charges of $16.0 million pre-tax for the remaining cost reduction actions announced during fiscal 2009 which included severance costs, facility exit costs and other charges related to contract termination costs and fixed asset write-downs. The Company also recognized integration costs of $2.9 million pre-tax for professional fees, facility moving costs and travel, meeting, marketing and communication costs that were incrementally incurred as a result of the integration efforts of the recently acquired businesses, $6.5 million pre-tax for a value-added tax exposure in Europe related to an audit of prior years, and $3.2 million pre-tax of other charges including acquisition-related costs which would have been capitalized under the prior accounting rules. The Company also recorded a credit of $3.2 million to adjust reserves related to prior restructuring activity which were determined to be no longer required.

Severance charges recorded in fiscal 2010 of $9.7 million related to personnel reductions of over 150 employees in administrative, finance and sales functions in connection with the cost reduction actions in all three regions. Facility exit costs of $3.7 million consisted of lease liabilities and fixed asset write-downs associated with seven vacated facilities in the Americas, one in EMEA and four in the Asia/Pac region. Other charges of $2.6 million consisted primarily of contractual obligations with no on-going benefit to the Company. The total amounts utilized during fiscal 2010 consisted of $9.9 million in cash payments, $1.1 million related to non-cash asset write downs and $1.2 million related to adjustments to reserves and foreign currency translation. As of July 3, 2010, the remaining reserves totaled $3.8 million, of which $0.5 million related to severance reserves which are expected to be utilized by the end of fiscal 2011, $1.4 million related to remaining facility exit cost reserves which are expected to be utilized by the end of fiscal 2013 and $1.8 million related to other contractual obligations which are expected to be utilized by the end of fiscal 2012.

Fiscal 2009

In response to the decline in sales and gross profit margin due to weaker market conditions, the Company initiated significant cost reduction actions over the past four quarters in order to realign its expense structure with market conditions. As a result, the Company incurred restructuring, integration and other charges totaling $99.3 million pre-tax, $65.3 million after tax and $0.43 per share during fiscal 2009 related to the cost reductions as well as integration costs associated with recently acquired businesses. Restructuring charges included severance of $50.8 million, facility exit-costs of $29.6 million and other charges of $4.5 million related to contract termination costs, fixed asset write-downs and other charges. The Company also recorded a reversal of $2.5 million to adjust estimated costs for severance, lease and other reserves related to prior year restructuring activity which were deemed excessive and that reversal was credited to restructuring, integration and other charges. Integration costs of $11.2 million included professional fees, facility moving costs, travel, meeting, marketing and communication costs that were incrementally incurred as a result of the acquisition integration efforts. Other items recorded to restructuring, integration and other charges included a net credit of $1.2 million related to acquisition adjustments for which the purchase allocation period had closed, a loss of $3.1 million resulting from a decline in the market value of certain small investments that the Company liquidated, and $3.8 million of incremental intangible asset amortization.

Severance charges recorded in fiscal 2009 related to personnel reductions of approximately 1,900 employees in administrative, finance and sales functions in connection with the cost reduction actions in all three regions of both operating groups with employee reductions of approximately 1,400 in EM, 400 in TS and the remaining from centralized support functions. Exit costs for vacated facilities related to 29 facilities in the Americas, 13 in EMEA and three in Asia/Pac and consisted of reserves for remaining lease liabilities and the write-down of leasehold improvements and other fixed assets. The total amounts utilized during fiscal 2010 consisted of $21.3 million in cash payments. As of July 3, 2010, the remaining reserves totaled $20.7 million, of which $1.9 million related to severance reserves which are expected to be utilized by the end of fiscal 2011, $17.2 million related to remaining facility exit cost reserves which are expected to be utilized by the end of fiscal 2015 and $1.6 million other contractual obligations to be utilized by the end of fiscal 2011.

Fiscal 2008

During fiscal 2008, the Company incurred restructuring, integration and other charges totaling $38.9 million pre-tax, $31.5 million after tax and $0.21 per share on a diluted basis, related to cost reductions considered necessary by management to improve the performance at certain business units and integration costs associated with recently acquired businesses. The restructuring charges related primarily to severance and facility exit costs. Integration costs recorded during fiscal 2008 included professional fees, facility moving costs, travel, meeting, marketing and communication costs that were incrementally incurred as a result of the integration efforts of the recently acquired businesses. The total of the restructuring charges and integration costs, net of $0.7 million for reversals of excess lease and severance reserves established in prior fiscal periods, amounted to $29.9 million pre-tax, $21.9 million after tax and $0.15 per share on a diluted basis. Other charges included $6.0 million pre-tax, $7.7 million after tax and $0.05 per share on a diluted basis related to the settlement of an indemnification to a former executive of an acquired company (which was not tax deductible) and $3.0 million pre-tax, $1.8 million after tax and $0.01 per share on a diluted basis for additional environmental costs associated with the reassessment of existing environmental matters.

The cost reduction actions taken during fiscal 2008 included severance charges related to personnel reductions of over 350 employees in administrative, finance and sales functions. Personnel reductions consisted of 100 employees in all three regions of EM and over 250 in the Americas and EMEA for TS. The facility exit charges related to five vacated office facilities, which included two facilities in the EM EMEA region, two in the TS EMEA region and one in the TS Asia region. These facility exit charges consisted of reserves for remaining lease liabilities and the write-down of leasehold improvements and other fixed assets. Other charges incurred included contractual obligations with no on-going benefit to the Company.

The total amounts utilized during fiscal 2010 consisted of $1.3 million in cash payments. As of July 3, 2010, the remaining reserves totaled $1.4 million which included severance reserves of $0.5 million and facility exit reserves for leases of $0.9 million. Management expects the majority of the severance and other reserves to be utilized by the end of fiscal 2011 and expects the facility exit reserves to be utilized by the end of fiscal 2015.

Operating Income (Loss)

Operating income for fiscal 2010 was $635.6 million, or 3.3% of consolidated sales, as compared with an operating loss of $1.02 billion for fiscal 2009. Both periods included restructuring, integration and other charges and the prior year included impairment charges as was previously mentioned in this MD&A. Excluding these charges, operating income for fiscal 2010 was $661.0 million, or 3.5% of consolidated sales, as compared with operating income of $491.5 million, or 3.0% of consolidated sales, for fiscal 2009. EM operating income increased 38.7% to $491.6 million for fiscal 2010 and its operating income margin improved 62 basis points to 4.5% as compared with fiscal 2009 as all three regions contributed to the improvement. EM’s operating income margin improved year over year in each respective quarter of fiscal 2010 and ended the June quarter at 5.6% which is the first time in two years that EM’s operating income margin reached that level and is within the target range as

24

established by management. TS operating income increased 25.0% to $251.7 million for fiscal 2010 and operating income margin improved 21 basis points to 3.1% as compared with fiscal 2009. TS continued to incur incremental expenses as it makes additional investments in Asia, particularly in China. Corporate operating expenses were $82.3 million in fiscal 2010 as compared with $64.5 million in fiscal 2009. The prior year corporate 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 fiscal 2010 are higher than typical primarily due to an increase in incentive compensation driven by the Company’s financial results for fiscal 2010 which exceeded established targets and were significantly higher as compared with fiscal 2009.

During fiscal 2009, the Company recognized an operating loss of $1.02 billion which included $1.41 billion of non-cash impairment charges. Excluding the impairment charges and restructuring, integration and other charges, operating income for fiscal 2009 was $491.5 million, or 3.0% of consolidated sales, as compared with operating income of $749.7 million, or 4.2% of consolidated sales, in fiscal 2008. EM operating income declined 37.2% to $354.5 million and operating income margin of 3.86% was down 160 basis points from prior year. Although the cost reduction actions at EM have provided benefits to operating income, the cost savings were not enough to make up for the decline in sales and gross profit margin. TS operating income of $201.4 million was down 22.9% year over year and operating income margin of 2.9% was down 56 basis points year over year. Similar to EM, the decline in TS operating margin was due to lower sales and gross profit margins, in particular in the Americas region, and the benefits from the cost reduction actions only partially offset the decline. Corporate operating expenses were $64.5 million, a decrease of $11.3 million as compared with $75.7 million in fiscal 2008.

Interest Expense and Other Income (Expense), net

Interest expense for fiscal 2010 was $61.7 million, down $16.9 million, or 21.5%, from interest expense of $78.7 million in fiscal 2009. During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company adopted an accounting standard which required retrospective application of the standard’s provisions to prior years which resulted in recognizing incremental non-cash interest expense of $12.2 million in addition to the previously reported interest expense of $66.5 million in fiscal 2009 (see footnote (a) to Item 6.Selected Financial Datain this Form 10-K). Excluding the non-cash interest expense, the year-over-year decrease in interest expense was due primarily to the elimination of interest on the Company’s $300.0 million 2% Convertible Senior Debentures which were extinguished in March 2009. SeeFinancing Transactionsfor further discussion of the Company’s outstanding debt.

Interest expense for fiscal 2009 was $78.7 million, down $9.6 million, or 10.8%, from interest expense of $88.2 million in fiscal 2008. Included in interest expense was $12.2 million and $15.9 million in fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively, related to incremental non-cash interest expense as a result of the retrospective application of the accounting standard mentioned above. Excluding the non-cash interest expense, the year-over-year decrease was primarily the result of lower average short-term debt outstanding, lower short-term interest rates and the extinguishment of the $300.0 million 2% Convertible Senior Debentures which were put to the Company in March 2009. SeeFinancing Transactionsfor further discussion of the Company’s outstanding debt.

Other income, net, was $2.5 million in fiscal 2010 as compared with other expense, net, of $11.6 million in fiscal 2009 which primarily related to the negative impacts of foreign currency exchange losses.

Other expense, net, was $11.6 million in fiscal 2009 as compared with other income of $21.0 million in the prior year. The expense incurred in fiscal 2009 was primarily due to the impact of foreign currency exchange losses in fiscal 2009 as compared with income recognized in fiscal 2008 and lower interest income in fiscal 2009 as compared with fiscal 2008. In addition, fiscal 2008 included income from the Company’s equity method investment in Calence LLC prior to the sale of the investment (seeGain on Sale of Assetsin this MD&A).

Gain on Sale of Assets

During fiscal 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized a gain on sale of assets as a result of certain earn-out provisions associated with the prior sale of the Company’s equity investment in Calence LLC. The gain amounted to $8.8 million pre-tax, $5.4 million after-tax and $0.03 per share on a diluted basis in fiscal 2010 and $14.3 million pre-tax, $8.7 million after-tax and $0.06 per share in fiscal 2009.

During fiscal 2008, the Company recognized a gain on sale of assets totaling $49.9 million pre-tax, $32.2 million after tax and $0.21 per share on a diluted basis. In April 2008, the Company sold its equity investment in Calence LLC and recognized a gain of $42.4 million pre-tax, $25.9 million after tax and $0.17 per share on a diluted basis. In October 2007, the Company sold a building in the EMEA region and recognized a gain of $4.5 million pre- and after tax and $0.03 per share on a diluted basis. Due to local tax allowances, the building sale was not taxable. The Company also recognized a gain of $3.0 million pre-tax, $1.8 million after tax and $0.01 per share on a diluted basis for the second receipt of contingent purchase price proceeds related to the fiscal 2006 sale of a TS end-user business.

Income Tax Provision

Avnet’s effective tax rate on income before income taxes was 29.9% in fiscal 2010 as compared with an effective tax rate on the loss before taxes of 3.2% in fiscal 2009. The fiscal 2010 effective tax rate was impacted by changes to estimates for existing tax positions, net favorable tax audit settlements, offset by a charge related to the realizability of certain deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate in fiscal 2009 was negatively impacted by the non-deductibility of substantially all of the impairment charges and changes to existing tax positions, partially offset by a net tax benefit of $21.7 million, or $0.14 per share, related primarily to the release of tax reserves due to the settlement of certain tax audits in Europe. Excluding these items, the effective tax rate for fiscal 2009 would have been 28.6%.

Avnet’s effective tax rate on its loss before income taxes was 3.2% in fiscal 2009 as compared with an effective rate on income of 29.4% in fiscal 2008. The effective tax rate in fiscal 2009 was negatively impacted by the non-deductibility of substantially all of the impairment charges and changes to existing tax positions. Partially offsetting these impacts was a net tax benefit of $21.7 million, or $0.14 per share, related primarily to the release of tax reserves due to the settlement of certain tax audits in Europe.

Avnet’s effective tax rate is primarily a function of the tax rates in the numerous jurisdictions in which it does business applied to the mix of pre-tax book income. The effective tax rate may vary year over year as a result of changes in tax requirements in the jurisdictions in which the Company does business and management’s evaluation of its ability to generate sufficient taxable income to offset net operating loss carryforwards as well as the establishment of reserves for unfavorable outcomes of tax positions taken on certain matters that are common to multinational enterprises and the actual outcome of those matters.

Net Income (Loss)

As a result of the factors described in the preceding sections of this MD&A, the Company’s net income was $410.4 million, or $2.68 per share on a diluted basis as compared with a net loss of $1.13 billion, or $7.49 per share, in fiscal 2009 and net income of $489.6 million, or $3.21 per share on a diluted basis, in fiscal 2008. Fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008 results were impacted by certain items as presented in the following tables:

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based upon the Company’s continuous evaluation of historical results and anticipated future events. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The Securities and Exchange Commission defines critical accounting policies as those that are, in management’s view, most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and that require significant judgments and estimates. Management believes the Company’s most critical accounting policies relate to:

Valuation of Receivables

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from customer defaults. Bad debt reserves are recorded based upon historic default averages as well as the Company’s regular assessment of the financial condition of its customers. Therefore, if collection experience or the financial condition of specific customers were to deteriorate, management would evaluate whether additional allowances and corresponding charges to the consolidated statement of operations are required.

Valuation of Inventories

Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost (first in — first out) or estimated market value. The Company’s inventories include high-technology components, embedded systems and computing technologies sold into rapidly changing, cyclical and competitive markets wherein such inventories may be subject to early technological obsolescence.

The Company regularly evaluates inventories for excess, obsolescence or other factors that may render inventories less marketable. Write-downs are recorded so that inventories reflect the approximate net realizable value and take into account the Company’s contractual provisions with its suppliers, which may provide certain protections to the Company for product obsolescence and price erosion in the form of rights of return and price protection. Because of the large number of transactions and the complexity of managing the process around price protections and stock rotations, estimates are made regarding adjustments to the carrying amount of inventories. Additionally, assumptions about future demand, market conditions and decisions to discontinue certain product lines can impact the decision to write down inventories. If assumptions about future demand change or actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, management would evaluate whether additional write-downs of inventories are required. In any case, actual values could be different from those estimated.

Accounting for Income Taxes

Management judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and the valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets. The carrying value of the Company’s net operating loss carry-forwards is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions. In addition, the Company considers historic levels of income, expectations and risk associated with estimates of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing a tax valuation allowance. Should the Company determine that it is not able to realize all or part of its deferred tax assets in the future, an additional valuation allowance may be recorded against the deferred tax assets with a corresponding charge to income in the period such determination is made.

27

The Company establishes reserves for potentially unfavorable outcomes of positions taken on certain tax matters. These reserves are based on management’s assessment of whether a tax benefit is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. There may be differences between the anticipated and actual outcomes of these matters that may result in reversals of reserves or additional tax liabilities in excess of the reserved amounts. To the extent such adjustments are warranted, the Company’s effective tax rate may potentially fluctuate as a result.

In determining the Company’s effective tax rate, management considers current tax regulations in the numerous jurisdictions in which it operates, and requires management’s judgment for interpretation and application. Changes to such tax regulations or disagreements with the Company’s interpretation or application by tax authorities in any of the Company’s major jurisdictions may have a significant impact on the Company’s provision for income taxes.

Restructuring, Integration and Impairment Charges

The Company has been subject to the financial impact of integrating acquired businesses and charges related to business reorganizations. In connection with such events, management is required to make estimates about the financial impact of such matters that are inherently uncertain. Accrued liabilities and reserves are established to cover the cost of severance, facility consolidation and closure, lease termination fees, inventory adjustments based upon acquisition-related termination of supplier agreements and/or the re-evaluation of the acquired working capital assets (inventory and accounts receivable), and write-down of other acquired assets including goodwill. Actual amounts incurred could be different from those estimated.

Additionally, in assessing the Company’s goodwill for impairment the Company is required to make significant assumptions about the future cash flows and overall performance of its reporting units. The Company is also required to make judgments regarding the evaluation of changes in events or circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of any of its reporting units below its carrying value, the results of which would determine whether an interim impairment test must be performed. Should these assumptions or judgments change in the future based upon market conditions or should the structure of the Company’s reporting units change based upon changes in business strategy, the Company may be required to record additional impairment charges to its remaining goodwill.

During fiscal 2010, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test and determined there is no goodwill impairment and there are no reporting units with material goodwill that are at risk of failing “step 1” of the goodwill impairment test. During fiscal 2009, the Company performed an interim goodwill impairment test and recognized goodwill and intangible asset impairments. SeeImpairment Chargesin this MD&A for further discussion of the Company’s evaluation of goodwill impairment in fiscal 2009.

Contingencies and Litigation

From time to time, the Company may become liable with respect to pending and threatened litigation, tax, environmental and other matters. Management does not anticipate that any contingent matters will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

Revenue Recognition

The Company does not consider revenue recognition to be a critical accounting policy due to the nature of its business in which revenues are generally recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Generally, these criteria are met upon the actual shipment of product to the customer. Accordingly, other than for estimates related to possible returns of products from customers, discounts or rebates, the recording of revenue does not require significant judgments or estimates. Provisions for returns are estimated based on historical sales returns, credit memo analysis and other known factors. Provisions are made for discounts and rebates, which are primarily volume-based, and are generally based on historical trends and anticipated customer buying patterns. Finally, revenues from maintenance contracts, which are deferred and recognized in income over the life of the agreement, are not material to the consolidated results of operations of the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

During fiscal 2010, the Company used $30.4 million of cash from operating activities as compared with cash generated in fiscal 2009 of $1.1 billion. 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 fiscal 2010 consisted of growth in accounts receivable and inventory of $1.07 billion and $459.9 million, respectively, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $963.3 million. Historically, during periods of growth, the Company has utilized operating cash flows to meet the working capital requirements of funding growth. For fiscal 2010, sales increased 18.1%; however, the Company used only $30.4 million of cash from operating activities to fund that growth as a result of the significant improvement in working capital velocity which increased to a record 7.8 times.

During fiscal 2009, the Company generated $1.1 billion of cash from operating activities as compared with $453.6 million in fiscal 2008. 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, non-cash impairment charges, gain on sale of assets, and other non-cash items (primarily the provision for doubtful accounts and periodic pension costs) and (2) cash flow generated from a reduction of working capital, excluding cash and cash equivalents. Cash generated from working capital during fiscal 2009 was the result of a $709.9 million reduction in receivables, a $483.5 million reduction in inventory; both of which were partially offset by a $375.5 million reduction in accounts payable. Although receivable days had increased three days as compared with the prior year, the Company had not experienced any significant change in delinquencies. Comparatively, the working capital outflow in fiscal 2008 was driven by a reduction in accounts payable ($123.3 million) and other items ($154.8 million), partially offset by a reduction of receivables and a reduction in inventory. The cash outflow for payables was primarily attributable to TS and the cash outflow for other items was primarily a result of income tax payments.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During fiscal 2010, the Company received proceeds of $291.9 million from the issuance of notes, net of repayments for bank and other debt. In June 2010, the Company issued $300.0 million 5.875% Notes due June 2020 and received proceeds of $296.5 million, net of discount and underwriting fees. During fiscal 2009, the Company utilized cash of $406.8 million related to net repayments of notes and bank credit facilities, $300 million of which related to the extinguishment of the 2% Convertible Senior Debentures due March 15, 2034 (the “Debentures”). In March 2009, $298.1 million of the Debentures were put back to the Company and the remaining $1.9 million was repaid in April 2009. As a result of the substantial cash generation from operating activities during fiscal 2009, the Company was able to use cash on hand to settle the $300 million of Debentures’ principal plus accrued interest. In fiscal 2008, the Company used $41.9 million of cash for net debt repayments. Other financing activities, net, in fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008 were primarily a result of cash received for the exercise of stock options and the associated excess tax benefit.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During fiscal 2010, the Company used $112.4 million of cash for investing activities, of which $69.3 million related to acquisitions and investments. The Company also received proceeds of $11.8 million related to earn-out provisions from the prior sale of an equity method investment as well as the sale of a small cost method investment. The Company used $66.9 million for capital expenditures related to building and leasehold improvements, system development costs, computer hardware and software and received $12.0 million in proceeds primarily related to the sale of properties.

The Company used $314.9 million of cash related to acquisitions during fiscal 2009. The Company also received $14.3 million in proceeds related to earn-out provisions associated with the prior sale of the Company’s equity investment (seeResults of Operations — Gain on Sale of Assets).In addition, the Company utilized $110.2 million of cash for capital expenditures related to system development costs, computer hardware and software as well as expenditures related to warehouse construction costs.

29

The Company’s cash flows associated with investing activities during fiscal 2008 were related primarily to payments for acquired businesses which totaled $369.4 million. In addition, the Company received proceeds of $68.6 million related to the gain on sale of assets in connection with the sale of the Company’s equity investment and the receipt of contingent purchase price proceeds. Other investing activities included capital expenditures primarily for system development costs, computer hardware and software.

Capital Structure

The Company uses a variety of financing arrangements, both short-term and long-term, to fund its operations. The Company also uses diversified sources of funding so that it does not become overly dependent on one source and to achieve lower cost of funding through these different alternatives. These financing arrangements include public bonds, short-term and long-term bank loans and an accounts receivable securitization program. For a detailed description of the Company’s external financing arrangements outstanding at July 3, 2010, refer to Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements appearing in Item 15 of this Report.

The following table summarizes the Company’s capital structure as of the end of fiscal 2010 with a comparison with the end of fiscal 2009:

	July 3,		% of Total			June 27,		% of Total
	2010		Capitalization			2009		Capitalization
	(Dollars in thousands)
Short-term debt	$	36,549		0.8	%	$	23,294		0.6	%
Long-term debt		1,243,681		29.0			946,573		25.4
Total debt		1,280,230		29.8			969,867		26.0
Shareholders’ equity		3,009,117		70.2			2,760,857		74.0
Total capitalization	$	4,289,347		100.0		$	3,730,724		100.0

Financing Transactions

The Company has a five-year $500.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks which expires in September 2012. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company may elect from various interest rate options, currencies and maturities. As of the end of fiscal 2010, there were $93.7 million in borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement included in “other long-term debt” in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, there were $8.6 million in letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement which represent a utilization of the Credit Agreement capacity but are not recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as the letters of credit are not debt. As of the end of fiscal 2009, there were $86.6 million in borrowings outstanding and $1.5 million in letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement.

The Company has an accounts receivable securitization program (the “Securitization Program”) with a group of financial institutions that allows the Company to sell, on a revolving basis, an undivided interest of up to $450.0 million in eligible receivables while retaining a subordinated interest in a portion of the receivables. The Securitization Program does not qualify for sale accounting and has a one year term that expires in August 2010 which is expected to be renewed for another year on comparable terms. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Securitization Program at July 3, 2010 or June 27, 2009.

In June 2010, the Company issued $300.0 million of 5.875% Notes due June 15, 2020. The Company received proceeds of $296.5 million from the offering, net of discount and underwriting fees.

Notes outstanding as of the end of fiscal 2010 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

30

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’ debt under these facilities.

Covenants and Conditions

The Securitization Program discussed previously requires the Company to maintain certain minimum interest coverage and leverage ratios as defined in the Credit Agreement (see discussion below) 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 its future financing needs. The Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Securitization Program at July 3, 2010.

The Credit Agreement discussed inFinancing Transactionscontains 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 its future financing needs. The Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Agreement as of July 3, 2010.

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

Liquidity

The Company had total borrowing capacity of $950.0 million at July 3, 2010 under the Credit Agreement and the Securitization Program. There were $93.7 million in borrowings outstanding and $8.6 million in letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement resulting in $847.7 million of net availability at the end of fiscal 2010. The Company also had $1.09 billion of cash and cash equivalents at July 3, 2010, which included the $296.5 million of net proceeds received from the 5.875% Notes issued in June 2010.

During fiscal 2010, the Company utilized approximately $69.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, net of cash acquired, for acquisitions. In addition, subsequent to fiscal 2010 year end, the Company acquired Bell Microproducts Inc. in an all cash transaction for $7.00 per share of Bell common stock which represented equity value of approximately $252 million, including approximately $25 million related to the accelerated vesting of, and payment for, Bell equity awards, for which the Company utilized cash on hand. Also as part of the Bell transaction, the Company assumed net debt of approximately $323 million. The total transaction value for the Bell acquisition was, therefore, approximately $575 million. In addition to the Bell acquisition, the Company completed two additional acquisitions subsequent to fiscal 2010 year end and, as a result, the Company has used approximately $600 million to date to fund all three acquisitions, including the pay off of certain debt assumed with the acquisitions.

The Company has no other significant financial commitments outside of normal debt and lease maturities discussed inCapital Structure and Contractual Obligations.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 fiscal 2010, revenue was up 18.1% year over year, however, the Company used only $30.4 million in cash from operations as a result of record working capital velocity which increased to 7.8 times. As the Company continues to experience growth, management expects to continue to utilize cash from operating activities in order to fund the working capital requirements of the business.

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.

(1) This calculation of working capital is defined as current assets less current liabilities.

The Company’s quick assets (consisting of cash and cash equivalents and receivables) increased 31.0% from June 27, 2009 to July 3, 2010 primarily due to the accelerated revenue growth experienced since the prior fiscal year end. Current assets increased 28.9% primarily due to the accelerated revenue growth and the associated growth in receivables and, to a lesser extent, inventory. Current liabilities increased 40.1% primarily due to the growth in accounts payable. As a result of the factors noted above, total working capital increased by 18.7% during fiscal 2010. Total debt increased 32.0% since the end of fiscal 2009 primarily due to the issuance of $300.0 million 5.875% Notes due June 2020 and additional borrowings from bank credit facilities. Total capital increased 15.0% since the end of fiscal 2009 and the debt to capital ratio was 29.8% as compared with 26.0% as of June 27, 2009.

Long-Term Contractual Obligations

The Company has the following contractual obligations outstanding as of July 3, 2010 (in millions):

			Due in Less		Due in		Due in		Due After
	Total		Than 1 Year		1-3 Years		4-5 Years		5 Years
Long-term debt, including amounts due within one year (1)	$	1,283.8	$	36.5	$	95.9	$	301.4	$	850.0
Interest expense on long-term notes (2)	$	442.6	$	70.3	$	140.5	$	117.6	$	114.2
Operating leases	$	226.1	$	72.2	$	95.3	$	36.4	$	22.2

(1)	Excludes discount on long-term notes.
(2)	Represents interest expense due on long-term notes with fixed interest rates.

At July 3, 2010, the Company had a liability for income tax contingencies of $132.8 million which is not included in the above table. Cash payments associated with the remaining liability cannot reasonably be estimated as it is difficult to estimate the timing and amount of tax settlements. The Company does not currently have any material commitments for capital expenditures.

Item 7A.  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.

The following table sets forth the scheduled maturities of the Company’s debt outstanding at July 3, 2010 (dollars in millions):

Liabilities:

(1) Excludes discounts on long-term notes.

The following table sets forth the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s debt at July 3, 2010 (dollars in millions):

	Carrying Value at			Fair Value at		Carrying Value at			Fair Value at
	July 3, 2010			July 3, 2010		June 27, 2009			June 27, 2009
Liabilities:
Fixed rate debt(1)	$	1,154.3		$	1,220.7	$	857.8		$	806.6
Average interest rate		6.1	%				6.2	%
Floating rate debt	$	129.5		$	129.5	$	114.4		$	114.4
Average interest rate		1.5	%				0.9	%

(1) Excludes discounts and premiums on long-term notes.

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 (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 foreign exchange contracts is offset by changes in valuation of the underlying items being hedged. The asset or liability representing the fair value of foreign exchange contracts is classified in the captions “other current assets” or “accrued expenses and other,” as applicable, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. A hypothetical 10% change in currency exchange rates under the contracts outstanding at July 3, 2010 would result in an increase or decrease of approximately $15.9 million to the fair value of the forward foreign exchange contracts, which would generally be offset by an opposite effect on the related hedged positions.

Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures

Disclosure 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K, 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 fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, 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.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of July 3, 2010. In making this assessment, management used the framework established inInternal Control — Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of July 3, 2010.

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, has audited the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting as of July 3, 2010, as stated in its audit report which is included herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Avnet, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Avnet, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended July 3, 2010. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the financial statement schedule for each of the years in the three-year period ended July 3, 2010, as listed in the accompanying index. We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of July 3, 2010, based on criteria established inInternal Control — Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanyingManagement’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Avnet, Inc. and subsidiaries as of July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended July 3, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule for each of the years in the three-year period ended July 3, 2010, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statement taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. Furthermore, in our opinion, Avnet, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of July 3, 2010, based on criteria established inInternal Control — Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

As discussed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective June 28, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 470-20,Debt with Conversion and Other Options(formerly FSP APB 14-1).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of significant accounting policies

Principles of consolidation— The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Cash and cash equivalents— The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Inventories— Inventories, comprised principally of finished goods, are stated at cost (first-in, first-out) or market, whichever is lower.

Investments— Investments in joint ventures and entities in which the Company has an ownership interest greater than 50% and exercises control over the venture are consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Non-controlling interests in the years presented are not material and, as a result, are included in the caption “accrued expenses and other” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Investments in joint ventures and entities in which the Company exercises significant influence but not control are accounted for using the equity method. The Company invests from time to time in ventures in which the Company’s ownership interest is less than 20% and over which the Company does not exercise significant influence. Such investments are accounted for under the cost method. The fair values for investments not traded on a quoted exchange are estimated based upon the historical performance of the ventures, the ventures’ forecasted financial performance and management’s evaluation of the ventures’ viability and business models. To the extent the book value of an investment exceeds its assessed fair value, the Company will record an appropriate impairment charge. Thus, the carrying value of the Company’s investments approximates fair value.

Depreciation and amortization— Depreciation and amortization is generally provided for by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives for depreciation and amortization are typically as follows: buildings — 30 years; machinery, fixtures and equipment — 2-10 years; and leasehold improvements — over the applicable remaining lease term or useful life if shorter.

Long-lived assets— Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. An impairment is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount. An impairment is measured as the amount by which an asset’s net book value exceeds its estimated fair value. The Company continually evaluates the carrying value and the remaining economic useful life of all long-lived assets and will adjust the carrying value and the related depreciation and amortization period if and when appropriate.

Goodwill— Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. Annual tests for goodwill impairment are performed by applying a fair-value based test to Avnet’s six reporting units, defined as each of the three regional businesses, which are the Americas, EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa), and Asia, within each of the Company’s operating groups. The Company conducts its periodic test for goodwill impairment annually, on the first day of the fiscal fourth quarter. A two-step process is used to evaluate goodwill for impairment. The first step is to determine if there is an indication of impairment by comparing the estimated fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value including existing goodwill. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value. The second step, which is performed only if there is an indication of impairment, determines the amount of the impairment by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with its carrying value. To estimate fair value of each reporting unit, the Company uses a combination of present value and market valuation techniques. The estimated fair values could change in the future due to changes in market and business conditions that could affect the assumptions and estimates used in these valuation techniques.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Foreign currency translation— The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into US dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, with the related translation adjustments reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income. Results of operations are translated using the average exchange rates prevailing throughout the period. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Avnet business unit that is party to the transaction (primarily trade receivables and payables) are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date or upon settlement of the transaction. Gains and losses from such translation are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as a component of “other income (expense), net.” In fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, gains or losses on foreign currency translation were not material.

Income taxes— The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax impact of differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Based upon historical and projected levels of taxable income and analysis of other key factors, the Company records a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, as deemed necessary, to state such assets at their estimated net realizable value. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period in which the new rate is enacted.

The Company establishes reserves for potentially unfavorable outcomes of positions taken on certain tax matters. These reserves are based on management’s assessment of whether a tax benefit is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. There may be differences between the anticipated and actual outcomes of these matters that may result in reversals of reserves or additional tax liabilities in excess of the reserved amounts. To the extent such adjustments are warranted, the Company’s effective tax rate may potentially fluctuate as a result.

No provision for US income taxes has been made for approximately $1.7 billion of cumulative unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries at July 3, 2010 because those earnings are expected to be permanently reinvested outside the US. A hypothetical calculation of the deferred tax liability, assuming those earnings were remitted, is not practicable.

Self-insurance— The Company is primarily self-insured for workers’ compensation, medical, and general, product and automobile liability costs; however, the Company also has a stop-loss insurance policy in place to limit the Company’s exposure to individual and aggregate claims made. Liabilities for these programs are estimated based upon outstanding claims and claims estimated to have been incurred but not yet reported based upon historical loss experience. These estimates are subject to variability due to changes in trends of losses for outstanding claims and incurred but not recorded claims, including external factors such as future inflation rates, benefit level changes and claim settlement patterns.

Revenue recognition—Revenue from product sales is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Generally, these criteria are met upon shipment to customers. Most of the Company’s product sales come from product Avnet purchases from a supplier and holds in inventory. A portion of the Company’s sales are shipments of product directly from its suppliers to its customers. In such circumstances, Avnet negotiates the price with the customer, pays the supplier directly for the product shipped and bears credit risk of collecting payment from its customers. Furthermore, in such drop-shipment arrangements, Avnet bears responsibility for accepting returns of product from the customer even if Avnet, in turn, has a right to return the product to the original supplier if the product is defective. Under these terms, the Company serves as the principal with the customer and, therefore, recognizes the sale and cost of sale of the product upon receiving notification from the supplier that the product has shipped.

In addition, the Company has more limited contractual relationships with certain of its customers and suppliers whereby Avnet assumes an agency relationship in the transaction. In such arrangements, the Company recognizes the fee associated with serving as an agent in sales with no associated cost of sales.

Revenues from maintenance contracts are recognized ratably over the life of the contracts, generally ranging from one to three years.

44

AVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Revenues are recorded net of discounts, rebates and estimated returns. Provisions are made for discounts and rebates, which are primarily volume-based, and are based on historical trends and anticipated customer buying patterns. Provisions for returns are estimated based on historical sales returns, credit memo analysis and other known factors.

Comprehensive income (loss)— Comprehensive income (loss) represents net income (loss) for the year adjusted for changes in shareholders’ equity from non-shareholder sources. Accumulated comprehensive income items typically include currency translation and the impact of the Company’s pension liability adjustment, net of tax (see Note 4).

Stock-based compensation—The Company measures share-based payments, including grants of employee stock options, at fair value and recognizes the associated expense in the consolidated statement of operations over the service period (see Note 12).

Concentration of credit risk— Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk principally consist of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company invests its excess cash primarily in overnight Eurodollar time deposits and institutional money market funds with quality financial institutions. The Company sells electronic components and computer products primarily to original equipment and contract manufacturers, including the military and military contractors, throughout the world. To reduce credit risk, management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and, in some instances, has obtained insurance coverage to reduce such risk. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses, but has not experienced any material losses related to individual customers or groups of customers in any particular industry or geographic area.

Fair value of financial instruments— The Company measures financial assets and liabilities at fair value based upon exit price, representing the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. Accounting standards require inputs used in valuation techniques for measuring fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis be assigned to a hierarchical level as follows: Level 1 are observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 are observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data and Level 3 are unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable approximate their fair values at July 3, 2010 due to the short-term nature of these instruments. At July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009, the Company had $643,281,000 and $463,403,000, respectively, of cash equivalents which were recorded based upon level 1 criteria. See Note 7 for further discussion of the fair value of the Company’s fixed rate long-term debt instruments and seeInvestmentsin this Note 1 for further discussion of the fair value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated entities.

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 (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 standards, 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 has, from time to time, entered into hedge transactions that convert certain fixed rate debt to variable rate debt. To the extent the Company enters into such hedge transactions, those fair value hedges and the hedged debt are adjusted to current market values through interest expense.

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.

AVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Accounts receivable securitization— The Company has an accounts receivable securitization program whereby the Company may sell receivables in securitization transactions and retain a subordinated interest and servicing rights to those receivables. The securitization program is accounted for as an on-balance sheet financing through the securitization of accounts receivable (see Note 3).

Subsequent events —The Company evaluates events and transactions for subsequent events that occur after its fiscal year end, or after quarter end for interim periods, through the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company made its subsequent events evaluation through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued and considered the effect of such events in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.

Fiscal year— The Company operates on a “52/53 week” fiscal year, which ends on the Saturday closest to June 30th. Fiscal 2010 contained 53 weeks while fiscal 2009 and 2008 contained 52 weeks. Unless otherwise noted, all references to “fiscal 2010” or any other “year” shall mean the Company’s fiscal year.

Management estimates— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Adoption of accounting standard —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 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 (the “Debentures”), to which this standard applies, were extinguished in March 2009. Due to the required retrospective application of this standard to prior periods, the Company adjusted the prior period comparative consolidated financial statements, which are summarized in the following tables.

As a result of the adoption of this accounting standard, the Company recognized the cumulative effect of the change on certain components of equity as of the beginning of the earliest fiscal year presented in the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity as presented in the following table:

	June 30, 2007
	As Reported		Adjustments			As Adjusted
	(Thousands)
Additional paid in capital(1)	$	1,094,210	$	43,190		$	1,137,400
Retained earnings(2)	$	1,880,642	$	(26,437	)	$	1,854,205

(1)	Adjustment represents the value of the equity component of the Debentures, net of deferred taxes.
(2)	Adjustment represents the accretion of the debt discount, net of tax, over the expected life of the Debentures, which was five years from the date of issuance, or March 2009, because this was the earliest date the Debenture holders had a right to exercise their put option.

Recent 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 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 fiscal 2010. However, based upon the acquisitions completed in July 2010, Bell Microproducts Inc. in particular (see Note 2), the Company expects to recognize transaction costs in its consolidated statement of operations in fiscal 2011 which would have been capitalized under the prior accounting rules and also expects to recognize restructuring costs in its consolidated statement of operations in fiscal 2011 that would have been recorded to goodwill under prior accounting rules.

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.

47

AVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

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.

⁽¹⁾ Represents the approximate annual revenue from the acquired businesses’ most recent fiscal year end prior to acquisition by Avnet and based upon average foreign currency exchange rates for those periods.

On July 6, 2010, subsequent to fiscal year 2010, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of Bell Microproducts Inc. (“Bell”), a value-added distributor of storage and computing technology 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 generated in North America, EMEA and Latin America, respectively. The consideration for the transaction consisted of $7.00 in cash per share of Bell common stock which represented an equity value of approximately $252 million, including the accelerated vesting of, and cash payment for, Bell equity awards of approximately $25 million (which will be expensed in the first quarter of fiscal 2011) and the assumption of approximately $323 million in net debt, thereby resulting in an aggregate transaction value of approximately $575 million. The transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to earnings excluding integration and transaction costs. The Company is integrating Bell into both the EM and TS operating groups and expects cost saving synergies upon completion of the integration activities, which are anticipated to be completed by the end of fiscal 2011.

AVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Since the initial announcement in March 2010 of the definitive agreement to acquire Bell, several putative class actions were filed by alleged Bell shareholders in various state courts in California. All class action matters have since been settled for a nominal amount.

Divestitures

During fiscal 2010, the Company recognized a gain on the sale of assets as a result of certain earn-out provisions associated with the prior sale of the Company’s equity investment in Calence LLC. The gain on sale of assets was $8,751,000 pre-tax, $5,370,000 after tax and $0.03 per share on a diluted basis. In addition, the Company sold a cost method investment and received proceeds of approximately $3,034,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2010.

During fiscal 2009, the Company recognized a gain on the sale of assets amounting to $14,318,000 pre-tax, $8,727,000 after tax and $0.06 per share as a result of certain earn-out provisions associated with the prior sale of the Company’s equity investment in Calence LLC.

During fiscal 2008, the Company recognized a gain on sale of assets of $49,903,000 pre-tax, $32,244,000 after tax and $0.21 per share on a diluted basis. The Company sold its equity investment in Calence LLC and received proceeds of approximately $65,601,000 which resulted in a gain on sale of assets of $42,426,000 pre-tax, $25,924,000 after tax and $0.17 per share on a diluted basis. The Company recorded a gain on sale of assets of $3,000,000 pre-tax, $1,843,000 after tax and $0.01 per share on a diluted basis in connection with the receipt of the last installment of contingent purchase price proceeds related to the fiscal 2006 sale of a TS business in the Americas. The Company also sold a building in the EMEA region and recognized a gain of $4,477,000 pre- and after tax and $0.03 per share on a diluted basis. Due to local tax allowances, the building sale was not taxable.

3. Accounts receivable securitization

The Company has an accounts receivable securitization program (the “Program”) with a group of financial institutions that allows the Company to sell, on a revolving basis, an undivided interest of up to $450,000,000 in eligible US receivables while retaining a subordinated interest in a portion of the receivables. The eligible receivables are sold through a wholly-owned bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity that is consolidated for financial reporting purposes. Financing under the Program does not qualify as off-balance sheet financing, as a result, the receivables and related debt obligation remain on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as amounts are drawn on the Program. The Program has a one year term that expires at the end of August 2010 which is expected to be renewed for another year on comparable terms. There were no amounts outstanding under the Program as of July 3, 2010 or June 27, 2009. Expenses associated with the Program, which were not material in the past three fiscal years, consisted of program, facility and professional fees recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Carrying value at July 3, 2010	$	242,626		$	323,683		$	566,309

Goodwill additions in EM, as presented in the preceding table, related to purchase accounting entries during the purchase price allocation period for acquisitions that closed prior to fiscal 2010. Goodwill additions in TS related to acquisitions that closed during fiscal 2010.

The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test on the first day of its fiscal fourth quarter. In addition, if and when events or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of any of its reporting units below its carrying value, an interim test would be performed. Based upon the Company’s annual impairment tests performed for fiscal 2010 and 2008, there was no impairment of goodwill in the respective fiscal years. During fiscal 2009, the Company recognized goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges of $1,411,127,000 pre-tax, $1,376,983,000 after tax and $9.13 per share resulting from an interim impairment test performed at the end of the second quarter and from the annual impairment test performed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. The non-cash charge 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.

Fiscal 2009 impairment charges

In the second quarter of fiscal 2009, due to the 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 upon the test results, it was determined that the fair values of four of the Company’s six reporting units were below their carrying values as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Accordingly, 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 in its second quarter of fiscal 2009 results.

AVNET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

A two step process is used to test for goodwill impairment. The first step is to determine if there is an indication of impairment by comparing the estimated fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value including existing goodwill. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value. Upon an indication of impairment, a second step is performed to determine the amount of the impairment by determining the implied fair value of all of the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities, including identifiable intangible assets, and comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying value. The determination of fair value in both step one and step two utilized level 3 criteria under fair value measurement standards.

To estimate the fair value of its reporting units for step one, the Company utilized a combination of income and market approaches. The income approach, specifically a discounted cash flow methodology, included assumptions for, among others, forecasted revenues, gross profit margins, operating profit margins, working capital cash flow, perpetual growth rates and long term discount rates, all of which require significant judgments by management. These assumptions took into account the current recessionary environment and its impact on the Company’s business. In addition, the Company utilized a discount rate appropriate to compensate for the additional risk in the equity markets regarding the Company’s future cash flows in order to arrive at a control premium considered supportable based upon historical comparable transactions.

The results of step one indicated that the goodwill related to the EM Asia, TS EMEA and TS Asia reporting units was fully impaired. Therefore, the Company only performed step two of the impairment analysis for its EM Americas reporting unit. Step two of the impairment test required the Company to fair value all of the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities, including identifiable intangible assets, and compare the implied fair value of goodwill to its carrying value. The results of step two indicated that the goodwill in the EM Americas reporting unit was also fully impaired.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test which indicated that three of its six reporting units, including EM Asia and TS EMEA, continued to have fair values below their carrying values. As a result, the Company was required to recognize the impairment of additional goodwill which arose subsequent to the second quarter of fiscal 2009 in the EM Asia and TS EMEA reporting units. Of the non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $62,282,000 pre- and after tax and $0.41 per share recognized in the fourth quarter, $41,433,000 related to the recently acquired business in Japan, which was assigned to the EM Asia reporting unit. Accounting standards require goodwill from an acquisition to be assigned to a reporting unit and also requires goodwill to be tested on a reporting unit level, not by individual acquisition. As noted above, the annual impairment analysis indicated that the fair value of the EM Asia reporting unit continued to be below its carrying value. As a result, the goodwill from the acquisition was required to be impaired. The remaining $20,849,000 of the impairment charges related to additional goodwill in the TS EMEA reporting unit primarily as a result of final acquisition adjustments during the purchase price allocation period related to an acquisition for which the goodwill had been fully impaired in the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

Intangible assets

As of July 3, 2010, “Other assets” included customer relationship intangible assets with a carrying value of $48,508,000; consisting of $81,045,000 in original cost value and $32,537,000 of accumulated amortization and foreign currency translation. These assets are being amortized over a weighted average life of nine years. Intangible asset amortization expense was $8,629,000, $12,272,000 and $6,767,000 in fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Amortization expense for the next five years is expected to be approximately $9,000,000 each year, based upon current foreign currency exchange rates.

During fiscal 2009, the Company evaluated the recoverability of its long-lived assets at each of the reporting units where goodwill was deemed to be impaired. Based upon this evaluation, which utilized level 3 criteria under fair value measurement standards, the Company determined that certain of its amortizable intangible assets were impaired. As a result, the Company recognized a non-cash intangible asset impairment charge of $31,393,000 pre- and after tax and $0.21 per share during the second quarter of fiscal 2009. In conjunction with the annual goodwill impairment test, the Company again evaluated the recoverability of its long-lived assets during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 and determined that no impairment had occurred.

The provision for income taxes noted above is computed based upon the split of income (loss) before income taxes from US and foreign operations. US income (loss) before income taxes was $241,029,000, ($733,915,000) and $337,303,000 and foreign income (loss) before income taxes was $344,054,000, ($361,053,000) and $356,101,000 in fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

A reconciliation between the federal statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate is as follows:

	Years Ended
	July 3,			June 27,			June 28,
	2010			2009			2008
Federal statutory rate		35.0	%		(35.0	)%		35.0	%

Other, net		(0.7	)		(0.2	)		1.2
Effective tax rate		29.9	%		3.2	%		29.4	%

Foreign tax rates generally consist of the impact of the difference between foreign and federal statutory rates applied to foreign income (losses) and also include the impact of valuation allowances against the Company’s otherwise realizable foreign loss carry-forwards.

Avnet’s effective tax rate on income before income taxes was 29.9% in fiscal 2010 as compared with an effective tax rate of 3.2% in fiscal 2009. The fiscal 2009 effective tax rate impacted by non-deductible impairment charges and a change to estimates for existing tax positions, net of favorable tax audit settlements of $21,672,000, or $0.14 per share. Excluding the impact of these items, the effective tax rate for fiscal 2009 would have been 28.6%.

The significant components of deferred tax assets and liabilities, included primarily in “other assets” on the consolidated balance sheets, are as follows:

	July 3,			June 27,
	2010			2009

As of July 3, 2010, the Company had foreign net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $1,197,057,000, approximately $156,443,000 of which have expiration dates ranging from fiscal 2011 to 2025 and the remaining $1,040,614,000 of which have no expiration date. Of the $156,443,000 of foreign net operating loss carry-forwards, $24,461,000 will expire during fiscal 2011 and 2012, substantially all of which have full valuation allowances. The carrying value of the Company’s net operating loss carry-forwards is dependent upon the Company’s ability to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions. In addition, the Company considers historic levels of income, expectations and risk associated with estimates of future taxable income and on-going prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing a tax valuation allowance.

Accruals for income tax contingencies (or accruals for unrecognized tax benefits) are included in “accrued expenses and other” and “other long term liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheet. These contingency reserves relate to various tax matters that result from uncertainties in the application of complex income tax regulations in the numerous jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The change to contingency reserves during fiscal 2010 is primarily due to the recognition of uncertainties in current year tax positions, a change to estimates for existing tax positions and favorable audit settlements. As of July 3, 2010, unrecognized tax benefits were $132,828,000, of which approximately $88,811,000, if recognized, would favorably impact the effective tax rate and the remaining balance would be substantially offset by valuation allowances. As of June 27, 2009, unrecognized tax benefits were $135,891,000, of which approximately $87,468,000, if recognized, would favorably impact the effective tax rate, and the remaining balance would be substantially offset by valuation allowances. In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, accrued interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as a component of income tax expense. The accrual for unrecognized tax benefits included accrued interest expense and penalties of $18,308,000 and $12,476,000, net of applicable state tax benefit, as of the end of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009, respectively.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending accrual balance for unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

	Fiscal 2010			Fiscal 2009
Balance at beginning of year	$	135,891		$	124,765
Additions for tax positions taken in prior periods, including interest		32,723			30,930
Reductions for tax positions taken in prior periods, including interest		(33,168	)		(45,876	)
Additions for tax positions taken in current period		4,970			42,400
Reductions relating to settlements with taxing authorities		(96	)		(10,574	)
Reductions related to the lapse of statute of limitations		(2,006	)		(2,876	)
Reductions related to foreign currency translation		(5,486	)		(2,878	)
Balance at end of year	$	132,828		$	135,891

The evaluation of income tax positions requires management to estimate the ability of the Company to sustain its position and estimate the final benefit to the Company. To the extent that these estimates do not reflect the actual outcome there could be an impact on the consolidated financial statements in the period in which the position is settled, the statute of limitations expire or new information becomes available as the impact of these events are recognized in the period in which they occur. It is difficult to estimate the period in which the amount of a tax position will change as settlement may include administrative and legal proceedings whose timing the Company cannot control. The effects of settling tax positions with tax authorities and statute expirations may significantly impact the accrual for income tax contingencies. Within the next twelve months, management estimates that approximately $10,110,000 of tax contingencies will be settled primarily through agreement with the tax authorities for tax positions related to valuation matters; such matters are common to multinational companies. The expected cash payment related to the settlement of these contingencies is not significant.

The Company conducts business globally and consequently files income tax returns in numerous jurisdictions including those listed in the following table. It is also routinely subject to audit in these and other countries. The Company is no longer subject to audit in its major jurisdictions for periods prior to fiscal year 1999.

10. Pension and retirement plans

Pension Plan

The Company’s noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”) covers substantially all domestic employees. Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan following the first year of service during which they worked at least 1,000 hours. The Plan provides defined benefits pursuant to a cash balance feature whereby a participant accumulates a benefit based upon a percentage of current salary, which varies with age, and interest credits. The Company uses June 30 as the measurement date for determining pension expense and benefit obligations for each fiscal year. Not included in the tabulations and discussions that follow are pension plans of certain non-US subsidiaries, which are not material.

The following tables outline changes in benefit obligations, plan assets and the funded status of the Plan as of the end of fiscal 2010 and 2009:

The Plan was amended effective July 1, 2010 to resume future accruals for compensation paid by the Company on or after July 1, 2010. The pension accrual formula was similar in structure to the formula that was frozen as of July 1, 2009. The Plan changes effected by this amendment were as follows:

• an age-related contribution crediting schedule ranging from 4% to 16% of pension-eligible compensation

• interest credits on post-July 1, 2010 pension accruals of 4% per year

• inclusion of overtime pay in pension-eligible compensation

• increase of the cap on pension-eligible compensation from $100,000 to the statutory limit

• change in the actuarial factor basis used to convert account balances to annuity payment forms.

In October 2009, the Company agreed to settle a pension litigation matter, which was approved by the court in April 2010. As a result, the Plan was amended to increase benefits to certain former employees. This amendment, effective May 21, 2010, increased the benefit obligation by $34,000,000 and results in a prior service cost base which will be amortized over 11 years. To fund this additional liability, the Company made a voluntary contribution of $34,000,000 in June 2010. The impacts of the amendment described above are reflected in the preceding table as of July 3, 2010.

Included in “accumulated other comprehensive income” at July 3, 2010 is a pre-tax charge of $191,180,000 of net actuarial losses which have not yet been recognized in net periodic pension cost, of which $9,283,000 is expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost during fiscal 2011. Also included is a pre-tax credit of $16,306,000 of prior service credit which has not yet been recognized in net periodic pension costs, of which $1,875,000 is expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs during fiscal 2011.

Weighted average assumptions used to calculate actuarial present values of benefit obligations are as follows:

	2010			2009
Discount rate		5.25	%		6.25	%

Weighted average assumptions used to determine net benefit costs are as follows:

	2010			2009
Discount rate		6.25	%		6.75	%
Expected return on plan assets		9.00	%		9.00	%

The Company bases its discount rate on a hypothetical portfolio of bonds rated Aa by Moody’s Investor Services or AA by Standard & Poors. The bonds selected for this determination are based upon the estimated amount and timing of services of the pension plan.

Components of net periodic pension costs during the last three fiscal years are as follows:

	2010			2009
Equity securities		74	%		77	%
Debt securities		25			23
Cash and receivables		1			—

The general investment objectives of the Plan are to maximize returns through a diversified investment portfolio in order to earn annualized returns that meet the long-term cost of funding the Plan’s pension obligations while maintaining reasonable and prudent levels of risk. The target rate of return on Plan assets is currently 9%, which represents the average rate of earnings expected on the funds invested or to be invested to provide for the benefits included in the benefit obligation. This assumption has been determined by combining expectations regarding future rates of return for the investment portfolio along with the historical and expected distribution of investments by asset class and the historical rates of return for each of those asset classes. The mix of equity securities is typically diversified to obtain a blend of domestic and international investments covering multiple industries. The Plan assets do not include any material investments in Avnet common stock. The Plan’s investments in debt securities are also diversified across both public and private fixed income securities. The Company’s current target allocation for the investment portfolio is for equity securities, both domestic and international, to represent approximately 76% of the portfolio with a policy for minimum investment in equity securities of 60% of the portfolio and a maximum of 92%. The majority of the remaining portfolio of investments is to be invested in fixed income securities.

As of June 30, 2010, the market value of plan assets by investment category was: US Equity ($161.9 million); US Bonds ($70.4 million); International Equity ($43.9 million) and cash and receivables ($2.8 million). Asset values are Level 1 for all asset categories as the fair values are based upon quoted market prices for identical assets. The pension assets were highly diversified to reduce the potential risk of significant concentrations of credit risk.

11. Long-term leases

During fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company expensed $28,363,000, $18,269,000 and $25,389,000, respectively, for all stock-based compensation awards.

Stock plan

The Company has one stock compensation plan, the 2006 Stock Compensation Plan (“2006 Plan”) which was approved by the shareholders in fiscal 2007. The 2006 Plan has a termination date of November 8, 2016 and 1,234,954 shares were available for grant at July 3, 2010. At July 3, 2010, the Company had 6,774,177 shares of common stock reserved for stock option and stock incentive programs.

Stock options

Option grants under the 2006 Plan have a contractual life of ten years, vest 25% on each anniversary of the grant date, commencing with the first anniversary, and provide for a minimum exercise price of 100% of fair market value at the date of grant. Compensation expense associated with stock options during fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008 were $3,558,000, $4,245,000 and $6,155,000, respectively.

The fair value of options granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model based on the assumptions in the following table. The assumption for the expected term is based on evaluations of historical and expected future employee exercise behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based on the US Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected term at the grant date. The historical volatility of Avnet’s stock is used as the basis for the volatility assumption.

Performance shares

Eligible employees, including Avnet’s executive officers, may receive a portion of their long-term equity-based incentive compensation through the performance share program, which allows for the award of shares of stock against performance-based criteria (“Performance Share Program”). The Performance Share Program provides for the issuance to each grantee of a number of shares of Avnet’s common stock at the end of a three-year period based upon the Company’s achievement of performance goals established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors for each three-year period. For the Performance Share Programs granted in fiscal 2008 and 2009, the performance goals were initially based upon a three-year cumulative increase in the Company’s absolute economic profit, as defined, over the prior three-year period and the increase in the Company’s economic profit relative to the increase in the economic profit of a peer group of companies. During fiscal 2010, these performance goals were modified to eliminate the absolute economic profit goal; in addition, the fiscal 2009 and 2008 programs were modified to limit the percentage of performance stock units vesting to a maximum of 100%.

For the Performance Share Program granted in fiscal 2010, the performance goals are based upon a three-year cumulative increase in the Company’s economic profit relative to the increase in the economic profit of a peer group of companies.

During fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company granted 242,390, 246,650 and 170,630 performance shares, respectively, to be awarded to participants in the Performance Share Program, of which 29,655 cumulatively have been forfeited. For the Performance Share Program granted in fiscal 2010, the actual amount of performance shares issued at the end of the three year period is determined based upon the level of achievement of the defined performance goals and can range from 0% to 200% of the initial award. As previously mentioned, the Performance Share Programs granted in fiscal 2008 and 2009 were limited to 100% of the initial award. The Company anticipates issuing 156,265 shares in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 based upon the goals achieved at the end of the fiscal 2008 Performance Share Program three-year period which ended July 3, 2010. During fiscal 2010 and 2008, the Company recognized compensation expense associated with the Performance Share Programs of $9,171,000 and $6,380,000, respectively. During fiscal 2009, the Company recorded a credit of $1,819,000 in selling, general and administrative expenses associated with the Performance Share Programs based upon actual performance under the 2007 plan and based upon the probability assessment of the remaining plans.

Outside director stock bonus plan

Non-employee directors are awarded shares equal to a fixed dollar amount of Avnet common stock upon their re-election each year, as part of their director compensation package. Directors may elect to receive this compensation in the form of common stock under the Outside Director Stock Bonus Plan or they may elect to defer their compensation to be paid in common stock at a later date. During fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, compensation cost associated with the outside director stock bonus plan was $1,020,000, $960,000 and $780,000, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Employee stock purchase plan

The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) under the terms of which eligible employees of the Company are offered options to purchase shares of Avnet common stock at a price equal to 95% of the fair market value on the last day of each monthly offering period. Based on the terms of the ESPP, Avnet is not required to record expense in the consolidated statements of operations related to the ESPP.

The Company has a policy of repurchasing shares on the open market to satisfy shares purchased under the ESPP, and expects future repurchases during fiscal 2011 to be similar to the number of shares repurchased during fiscal 2010, based on current estimates of participation in the program. During fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, there were 67,168, 100,206 and 70,553 shares, respectively, of common stock issued under the ESPP program.

13. 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. Management does not anticipate that any contingent matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

14. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and excludes any potential dilution. Diluted earnings per share reflect potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of securities into common stock.

Diluted earnings (loss) per share	$	2.68	$	(7.49	)	$	3.21

Options to purchase 700,000 and 12,000 shares of the Company’s stock were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per shares in fiscal 2010 and 2008, respectively, because the exercise price for those options was above the average market price of the Company’s stock during those periods. Inclusion of these options in the diluted earnings per share calculation would have had an anti-dilutive effect.

For fiscal 2009, dilutive effects of stock options, stock awards and shares issuable upon conversion of the 2% Convertible Debentures were excluded from the computation of earnings per diluted share because the Company recognized a net loss and inclusion of these items would have had an anti-dilutive effect. In addition, as of the end of fiscal 2009, the 2% Convertible Debentures were no longer outstanding.

For fiscal 2008, shares issuable upon conversion of the 2% Convertible Debentures were excluded from the computation of earnings per diluted share as a result of the Company’s election to satisfy the principal portion of the 2% Convertible Debentures in cash. For the conversion premium portion, which would be settled in shares, the shares issuable upon conversion were included from the calculation because the average stock price for those periods was above the conversion price per share of $33.84. As previously mentioned, as of the end of fiscal 2009, the 2% Convertible Debentures were no longer outstanding.

Cash payments of $9,863,000 are reflected in the amounts utilized during fiscal 2010 and the remaining amounts utilized were related to non-cash asset write downs. As of July 3, 2010, management expects the majority of the remaining severance reserves to be utilized by the end of fiscal 2011, the remaining facility exit cost reserves to be utilized by the end of fiscal 2013 and the reserves related to other contractual obligations to be utilized by the end of fiscal 2012.

During fiscal 2010, the Company incurred integration costs for professional fees, facility moving costs and travel, meeting, marketing and communication costs that were incrementally incurred as a result of the integration efforts of previously acquired businesses.

Also during fiscal 2010, the Company recognized a charge for a value-added tax exposure in Europe related to an audit of prior years and other charges related primarily to acquisition-related costs which would have been capitalized in under prior accounting rules. In addition, the Company recognized a credit to reverse restructuring reserves which were determined to be no longer necessary.

Fiscal 2009

In response to the decline in sales and gross profit margin due to weaker market conditions, the Company initiated significant cost reduction actions during fiscal 2009 in order to realign its expense structure with market conditions. As a result, the Company incurred restructuring, integration and other charges totaling $99,342,000 pre-tax, $65,310,000 after tax and $0.43 per share during fiscal 2009 related to the cost reductions as well as integration costs associated with recently acquired businesses. The Company also recorded a reversal of $2,514,000 for severance, lease and other reserves that were deemed excessive and credited to restructuring, integration and other charges. Integration costs of $11,160,000 included professional fees, facility moving costs, travel, meeting, marketing and communication costs that were incrementally incurred as a result of the acquisition integration efforts. Other items recorded to restructuring, integration and other charges included a net credit of $1,201,000 related to acquisition adjustments for which the purchase allocation period had closed, a loss of $3,091,000 resulting from a decline in the market value of certain small investments that the Company liquidated, and $3,830,000 of incremental intangible asset amortization.
