                             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

                       OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Three Months Ended April 30, 1996 and 1995
- ------------------------------------------

Net sales  increased 55.6% to $985.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997
compared to $633.5  million in the first  quarter  last year.  This  increase is
attributable  to the addition of new product lines and the expansion of existing
product  lines  combined with an increase in the  Company's  market  share.  The
growth rate in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 was also positively  impacted by
a lower growth rate in the prior comparable period as the Company was recovering
from the effects of business  interruptions  caused by the  conversion  to a new
computer  system in December 1994. The Company's  U.S. and  international  sales
grew 58% and 43%, respectively,  in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to
the prior year first  quarter.  International  sales were  approximately  14% of
fiscal  1997 first  quarter net sales  compared to 15% for the first  quarter of
fiscal 1996.

The cost of products sold as a percentage of net sales increased to 93.0% in the
first  quarter of fiscal 1997 from 92.7% in the prior year.  This  increase is a
result of  competitive  market  prices and the  Company's  strategy  of lowering
selling  prices  in order to gain  market  share and to pass on the  benefit  of
operating efficiencies to its customers.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 21.6% to $46.3 million
in the first  quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to $38.1 million in the prior year
and  decreased  as a  percentage  of net sales to 4.7% in the first  quarter  of
fiscal 1997  compared to 6.0% in the first quarter last year.  Selling,  general
and  administrative  expenses were a greater  percentage of net sales during the
first  quarter  of fiscal  1996  primarily  as a result of  increased  hiring in
anticipation of sales growth which was lower than expected due to the effects of
the business interruptions caused by the computer system conversion, in addition
to expenses related to this  conversion.  The dollar value increase is primarily
the result of expanded employment and increases in other administrative expenses
needed to support the increased volume of business.

As a result of the factors discussed above, operating profit increased 178.7% to
$22.7  million,  or 2.3% of net  sales,  in the first  quarter  of  fiscal  1997
compared to $8.2 million, or 1.3% of net sales for the first quarter last year.

Interest  expense  increased  in the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  1997 due to an
increase in the Company's average outstanding indebtedness,  partially offset by
decreases  in  short-term   interest  rates  on  the  Company's   floating  rate
indebtedness.

As a result of the factors discussed above, net income increased 464.0% to $10.4
million, or $.27 per share, in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to $1.8
million, or $.05 per share, in the prior year comparable quarter.

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

Net cash used in operating  activities of $19.5 million during the first quarter
of fiscal 1997 was primarily  attributable  to growth in sales and the resulting
increase in accounts receivable.

Net cash used in investing  activities of $2.2 million  during the first quarter
of fiscal 1997 was a result of the Company making capital expenditures to expand
its management information system capability, office facilities and distribution
centers.  The Company expects to make capital  expenditures of approximately $25
million during fiscal 1997 to further expand its management  information  system
capability, office facilities and distribution centers.

Net cash  provided by financing  activities  of $21.4  million  during the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 was primarily provided by additional borrowings under the
Company's revolving credit loans.

In  May  1996,  the  Company  entered  into  a  new  $290  million,  three-year,
multi-currency  revolving credit  facility.  As of May 31, 1996, the Company had
total available credit lines of approximately  $550 million  (including the $250
million Receivables Securitization Program), of which approximately $325 million
was outstanding.  The Company believes that cash from operations,  available and
obtainable  bank  credit  lines  and  trade  credit  from  its  vendors  will be
sufficient to satisfy its working capital and capital  expenditure  needs during
fiscal 1997.

The Company has historically  relied upon cash generated from  operations,  bank
credit  lines,  trade  credit from its vendors and  proceeds  from prior  public
offerings of common stock to satisfy capital needs and finance growth.  Although
management  believes the Company's  liquidity at April 30, 1996 is sufficient to
fund the current  level of  operations  through  fiscal 1997,  completion of the
Company's  proposed  July 1996  offering of 6 million  shares of common stock is
expected to provide additional capital of approximately $135 million which, will
further assist the Company to strengthen its financial  position and allow it to
accelerate its growth.

Asset Management
- ----------------

The Company  manages its  inventories  by maintaining  sufficient  quantities to
achieve high order fill rates while  attempting to stock only those  products in
high demand with a rapid  turnover  rate.  Inventory  balances  fluctuate as the
Company  adds new product  lines and when  appropriate,  makes large  purchases,
including  cash purchases from  manufacturers  and publishers  when the terms of
such purchases are considered advantageous. The Company's contracts with most of
its vendors provide price protection and stock rotation privileges to reduce the
risk of loss due to  manufacturer  price  reductions and slow moving or obsolete
inventory.  In the event of a vendor  price  reduction,  the  Company  generally
receives a credit for the impact on  products in  inventory.  In  addition,  the
Company has the right to rotate a certain  percentage of  purchases,  subject to
certain   limitations.   Historically,   price  protection  and  stock  rotation
privileges as well as the Company's inventory management  procedures have helped
to reduce the risk of loss of carrying inventory.

The Company  attempts to control  losses on credit  sales by closely  monitoring
customers'  creditworthiness through its computer system which contains detailed
information on each customer's  payment history and other relevant  information.
In addition,  the Company  participates in a national credit  association  which
exchanges  credit  information  on mutual  customers.  The Company has  recently
obtained  domestic  credit  insurance  which  insures a percentage of the credit
extended  by the  Company to certain of its larger  customers  against  possible
loss.  Customers who qualify for credit terms are  typically  granted net 30-day
payment terms. The Company also sells products on a prepay, credit card, cash on
delivery and floorplan basis.
