Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         ---------------------------------------------------------------
         Results of Operations.
         ---------------------

Sales
- -----

Consolidated sales for the first quarter of 2000 were $2.8 billion, an increase
of 26 percent when compared with the year-earlier period.  This increase was
driven by a 44 percent increase in sales of core components around the world as
market conditions continued to improve.  Sales of computer products decreased by
7 percent as a result of continued weakness in this market.


Operating Income
- ----------------

The company recorded operating income of $142.2 million in the first quarter of
2000 compared with $74.8 million in the year-earlier period, an increase of 90
percent.  The increase in operating income is due to increased sales and
improving gross profit margins in the core components business.


Interest Expense
- ----------------

Interest expense of $30.6 million in the first quarter of 2000 increased from
$24.6 million during the comparable quarter of 1999. The increase is the result
of financing costs associated with acquisitions made after March 1999 and
investments in working capital to support higher sales.


Income Taxes
- ------------

The company recorded a provision for taxes at an effective rate of 42 percent
during the first quarter of 2000 compared with 42.5 percent in the year-earlier
period.  The company's effective tax rate is principally impacted by, among
other factors, the statutory tax rates in the countries in which it operates and
the related level of earnings generated by these operations and the
nondeductibility of certain expenses.


Net Income
- ----------

The company recorded net income of $63.1 million in the first quarter of 2000
compared with $28.3 million in the first quarter of 1999, an increase of 123
percent.  The increase in net income from the year-earlier period is due to
increased sales and improving gross profit margins.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The company maintains a high level of current assets, primarily accounts
receivable and inventories.  Consolidated current assets as a percentage of
total assets were approximately 72 percent at March 31, 2000 and 1999.

The net amount of cash used for the company's operating activities during the
first quarter of 2000 was $23.7 million, principally reflecting increased
customer receivables, resulting from higher sales late in the first quarter,
offset, in part, by earnings for the quarter.  The net amount of cash used for
investing activities was $22 million for various capital expenditures.  The net
amount of cash provided by financing activities was $72.4 million, principally
reflecting borrowings under the company's commercial paper program.

During the first quarter of 1999, the net amount of cash generated by operating
activities was $12.8 million.  The net amount of cash used for investing
activities was $346.7 million, principally for the acquisitions of Richey
Electronics, Inc. ("Richey"), the electronics distribution group of Bell
Industries, Inc., and the remaining 10 percent of Spoerle Electronic not
previously owned by the company.  The net amount of cash provided by financing
activities was $271.2 million, reflecting borrowings under the company's credit
facilities offset, in part, by the repayment of Richey's 7.0% Convertible
Subordinated Notes and distributions to a former minority partner.


Year 2000 Update
- ----------------

The company has experienced no significant failures or disruptions of its
internal systems either on or after January 1, 2000.  Additionally, to date,
there have been no material Year 2000 related failures or disruptions with
respect to principal third-party business partners.

The company continues to monitor its systems and the capabilities of its
customers and suppliers to ensure that any previously unidentified Year 2000
issues that may arise are addressed promptly.  In the unlikely event that any
issues should occur, the company anticipates that they will be resolved through
implementation of its comprehensive contingency planning efforts.


Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements
- --------------------------------------------------

This report includes forward-looking statements that are subject to certain
risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results or facts to differ
materially from such statements for a variety of reasons, including, but not
limited to:  industry conditions, changes in product supply, pricing, and
customer demand, competition, other vagaries in the electronic components and
commercial computer products markets, and changes in relationships with key

reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on

revise any of the forward-looking statements.


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

The company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange
rates and interest rates.

The company, as a large international organization, faces exposure to adverse
movements in foreign currency exchange rates.  These exposures may change over
time as business practices evolve and could have a material impact on the
company's financial results in the future.  The company's primary exposure
relates to transactions in which the currency collected from customers is
different from the currency utilized to purchase the product sold in Europe, the
Asia/Pacific region, and South America.  At the present time, the company hedges
only those currency exposures for which natural hedges do not exist. Anticipated
foreign currency cash flows and earnings and investments in businesses in
Europe, the Asia/Pacific region, and South America are not hedged as in many
instances there are natural offsetting positions.  The translation of the
financial statements of the non-North American operations is impacted by
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.  Had the various average
foreign currency exchange rates remained the same during the first quarter of
2000 as compared with December 31, 1999, 2000 sales and operating income would
have been $27 million and $1 million higher, respectively, than the actual
results.

The company's interest expense, in part, is sensitive to the general level of
interest rates in the Americas, Europe, and the Asia/Pacific region.  The
company manages its exposure to interest rate risk through the proportion of
fixed rate and variable rate debt in its total debt portfolio.  At March 31,
2000, the company had approximately 47 percent of its debt as fixed rate
borrowings and 53 percent of its debt subject to variable rates.  Interest
expense would fluctuate by approximately $2 million if average interest rates
had changed by one percentage point during the first quarter of 2000.  This
amount was determined by considering the impact of a hypothetical interest rate
on the company's borrowing cost.  This analysis does not consider the effect of
the level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment.
Further, in the event of a change of such magnitude, management could likely
take actions to further mitigate any potential negative exposure to the change.
However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and
their possible effects, the sensitivity analysis assumes no changes in the
company's financial structure.
