                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                JUNE 30, 1994
                                 (UNAUDITED)
Note A -- Basis of presentation

          The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated
financial position and results of operations at and for the periods
presented.  Such financial statements do not include all the information or
footnotes necessary for a complete presentation and, accordingly, should be
read in conjunction with the company's audited consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 1993 and the notes thereto.  The
results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of results for the full year.
  
    
Note B -- Net income per common share

          Net income per common share for 1994 is based upon the weighted
average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents
outstanding.  For the six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, the average
number of common stock equivalents was 461,103 and 640,177 respectively. 
For the quarter ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, the average number of common
stock equivalents was 409,705 and 628,324, respectively.

          Net income per common share on a fully diluted basis for 1994
assumes that the 5-3/4% convertible subordinated debentures (the
"convertible subordinated debentures") were converted to common stock at the
beginning of the period and the related interest expense, net of taxes, was
eliminated.

          Net income per common share for 1993 is based upon the weighted
average number of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding
after deducting preferred stock dividends related to the series B $19.375
convertible exchangeable preferred stock (the "convertible exchangeable
preferred stock"), which was converted into common stock in September 1993. 
Net income per common share on a fully diluted basis for 1993 assumes that
the convertible exchangeable preferred stock and the convertible
subordinated debentures were converted to common stock at the beginning of
the period.  The dividends related to the convertible exchangeable preferred
stock and the interest expense on the convertible subordinated debentures,
net of taxes, were eliminated.


Note C -- Acquisition of electronics distribution businesses

          In January 1994, the company acquired an additional 15% share, for
approximately $23,400,000, in Spoerle Handelsgesellschaft mbH and Co. and
its general partner, Spoerle GmbH (collectively, "Spoerle"), the largest
distributor of electronic components in Germany, increasing its holdings to
a 70% majority interest.  During the first quarter of 1994, the company
acquired an additional 11% share in Silverstar Ltd. S.p.A. ("Silverstar"),
the largest distributor of electronic components in Italy, increasing its 
holdings to a 61% majority interest.  The acquisitions are being accounted


                                     -6-


for as purchase transactions, and Silverstar is consolidated with the 
company, effective January 1, 1994.  Prior to 1994 the company's investment
in Silverstar was accounted for under the equity method.

          In addition, in January 1994 the company acquired the electronic
component distribution business of Field Oy, the largest distributor of
electronic components in Finland, and in March 1994 the company acquired
TH:s Elektronik AB and its subsidiaries, a group of electronic distribution
companies serving Norway, Sweden, and Finland.  In April 1994, the company
acquired Exatec A/S, one of the largest distributors of semiconductors in
Denmark. In May 1994, the company acquired Texny (Holdings) Limited, one of
Hong Kong's leading distributors of electronic components.  The acquisitions
are being accounted for as purchase transactions beginning in their
respective month of acquisition.

          In January 1993, the company acquired an additional 15% share in
Spoerle, increasing its holdings to a then 55% majority interest.  In May
1993, the company acquired the high-reliability electronic component
distribution and value-added service businesses of Zeus Components, Inc.
("Zeus"). In June 1993, the company acquired Microprocessor & Memory
Distribution Limited ("MMD"), a U.K.-based electronics distributor which
focuses on the distribution of high-technology semiconductor products.  In
August 1993, the company acquired Components Agent Limited ("CAL"), one of
the largest electronics distributors in Hong Kong.  During the third quarter
of 1993 the company acquired a majority interest in Amitron S.A. and the ATD
Group, electronics distributors serving the Spanish and Portuguese markets. 
In November 1993, the company augmented its French operations by acquiring
CCI Electronique.  

          Set forth below for comparative purposes is the pro forma combined
summary of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1993 as though the
acquisitions in 1993 had occurred on January 1, 1993.

    Fully diluted                                        35,505

          The unaudited pro forma combined summary of operations has been
prepared utilizing the historical financial statements of Arrow and the
acquired businesses.  The unaudited pro forma combined summary of operations
includes the effect of the purchase price allocation adjustments and the
additional interest expense on debt incurred in connection with the
acquisitions as if the debt had been outstanding from the beginning of the
period.  The purchase price allocation adjustments include the adjustment of


                                     -7-
the net assets acquired to fair market value and the estimated costs
associated with the integration of the businesses.  Such estimated costs
include professional fees as well as real estate lease termination costs, 
costs associated with the elimination of certain redundant franchised lines,
and severance and other expenses related to personnel performing duplicative
functions, all of which are associated with facilities and personnel of the
acquired businesses.  The unaudited pro forma combined summary of operations
does not purport to be indicative of the results which actually would have
been obtained if the acquisitions had been made at the beginning of 1993.

           The unaudited pro forma combined summary of operations does not
reflect sales attrition which may result from the combination of Zeus and
MMD with Arrow's businesses.  It also does not reflect the cost savings the
company achieved from the combination of the Zeus businesses with its own
and it expects to achieve when MMD is combined with the company's UK
businesses.

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

          Included in 1994's consolidated results is Silverstar, which was
accounted for under the equity method prior to January 1994 when Arrow
increased its holdings to a majority interest.

Sales

          Consolidated sales for the six months and second quarter of 1994
increased 45.9% and 43.1% compared with year-earlier periods. Excluding
Silverstar, sales for the first six months and second quarter of 1994 were
$1.5 billion and $777 million, respectively, an increase of 36.3% and 33%
over the comparable year-earlier periods.

Operating income

          The company recorded operating income of $118.9 million and
$60.5 million in the first six months and second quarter of 1994,
respectively, compared with $85 million and $42.4 million, respectively, in
year-earlier periods.  The improvement in operating income over the 1993
periods reflects the impact of increased sales, acquisitions, continued
economies of scale and expense containment efforts reducing operating
expenses as a percentage of sales, and the consolidation of Silverstar. 
Excluding Silverstar, operating income was $107.5 million and $54 million in
the first six months and second quarter of 1994, respectively, and operating
expenses as a percentage of sales decreased from 13.7% in the first six
months of 1993 to 12.4% and from 13.4% in the second quarter of 1993 to
12.5%.

Interest expense

          Interest expense of $18.4 million and $9.4 million in the first
six months and second quarter of 1994, respectively, increased from $13.3  
million during the first six months of 1993 and $6.4 million in the
comparable quarter of 1993. 

          The increase from the first six months and second quarter of 1993
reflects the borrowings associated with the consolidation of Silverstar, the
acquisition of the incremental 15% of Spoerle in 1994, and the incremental
interest associated with businesses acquired subsequent to the second
quarter of 1993. 
                                     -8-
          
Income taxes

          During the first six months and second quarter of 1994, the
company recorded a provision for taxes at an effective tax rate of 40.1% and 
40% compared with 39.6% and 40.1%, respectively, in the earlier periods.
                                      
Net income

          The company recorded net income of $51.8 and $26.6 million in the
first six months and second quarter of 1994, respectively, compared with
$37.1 million in the first six months of 1993 and $19.1 million in the
second quarter of 1993.  The increase in net income over the year-earlier
periods is due to increased sales and lower operating expenses as a
percentage of sales offset in part by an increase in interest expense as
previously discussed.    

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 75% and 74% at June 30, 1994
and 1993, respectively, excluding the effect of the investments in net
assets of acquired businesses.
 
         The net amount of cash provided by the company's operating
activities during the first six months of 1994 was $40.1 million,
principally reflecting higher net earnings.  The net amount of cash used for
investing activities was $79.5 million, including $80.6 million for various
acquisitions.  The net amount of cash provided by financing activities was
$23.5 million, principally reflecting the company's U.S. credit agreements
and German bank borrowings, offset in part by the distribution to partners
and the net repayment of debts.

      The net amount of cash provided by the company's operating activities
during the first six months of 1993 was $23.6 million, principally
reflecting increased earnings offset in part by increased working capital
requirements supporting higher sales.  The net amount of cash used for
investing activities was $69.6 million, including approximately $57.7
million for the acquisition of Zeus, MMD, and an additional 15% interest in
Spoerle.  The net amount of cash provided by financing activities was $57.8
million, principally reflecting the proceeds from the company's U.S. credit
agreement, German bank borrowings, and the company's May 1993 common stock
offering, offset in part by the payment of financing fees and preferred
stock dividends. 
                                      
         The company believes that its working capital, funds available
under its credit agreements, and additional funds generated from operations
will be sufficient to satisfy its cash requirements at least through 1996.
