consisting only of normal recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial

accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements
and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
---------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations.
----------------------
The company acquired Richey Electronics, Inc. ("Richey") on January 7,
1999 and the electronics distribution group ("EDG") of Bell Industries,
Inc. on January 29, 1999. Both of these transactions have been accounted
for as purchases in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 16, "Business Combinations." Accordingly, the consolidated results
of the company in 1999 include both Richey and EDG from their respective
dates of acquisition.
Sales
- -----
Consolidated sales for the first quarter of 1999 increased approximately
9 percent over the year-earlier period. Excluding the impact of acquisitions,
sales declined almost 4 percent. This sales decline was principally due to
reduced sales of low margin microprocessors, lower sales in Europe, and a
weakening of European currencies offset, in part, by increased sales of
components in North America and commercial computer products by the
company's Gates/Arrow operation.
Operating income
- ----------------
The company recorded operating income of $75 million in the first quarter
of 1999, compared with $92 million in the first quarter of 1998. The
decrease in operating income is due to continued pressure on profit
margins in both the commercial computer products markets served by
Gates/Arrow and the North American components operations due to
competitive pricing pressures and to lower sales and competitive pricing
pressures in Europe.
Interest expense
- ----------------
Interest expense of $24.6 million in the first quarter of 1999 increased
from $18.7 million during the comparable quarter of 1998 principally
reflecting increases in borrowings associated with acquisitions.
Income taxes
- ------------
During the first quarter of 1999, the company recorded a provision for taxes
at an effective tax rate of 42.5 percent, compared with 41.2 percent in the
year-earlier period. The increase in the effective tax rate is due
principally to the impact of nondeductible goodwill amortization.
Net income
- ----------
The company recorded net income of $28.3 million in the first quarter of
1999, compared with $41.9 million in the first quarter of 1998. The
decrease in net income from the year-earlier period is principally due to
lower operating income and higher interest expense offset, in part, by a
decrease in minority interest.
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 and 75 percent for the first
quarter of 1999 and 1998, respectively.
During the first three months 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, EDG, and the remaining 10% 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.
During the first three months of 1998, the net amount of cash used by the
company's operating activities was $121.4 million, the principal element of
which was the increase in inventory. The net amount of cash used for
investing activities was $40.7 million, including $32.2 million for various
acquisitions. The net amount of cash provided by company's financing
activities was $105.5 million.
