                     --------------------------------------

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   ------------------------------------------


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

     The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by
the  Company,  without  audit,  pursuant  to the  rules and  regulations  of the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.   In  the  opinion  of  management,   the
accompanying   unaudited   consolidated   financial   statements   contain   all
adjustments,  consisting  of only normal  recurring  adjustments,  necessary  to
present fairly the financial  position of Tech Data Corporation and subsidiaries
(the  "Company" or "Tech  Data") as of April 30, 1998,  and the results of their
operations  and cash flows for the three  months  ended April 30, 1998 and 1997.
All significant  intercompany  accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.  The results of  operations  for the three months ended April 30,
1998 are not necessarily  indicative of the results that can be expected for the
entire fiscal year ending January 31, 1999.


NOTE 2 - PROPOSED ACQUISITION:

     In  April  1998,   the  Company   entered  into  an  agreement  to  acquire
approximately  80%  of the  outstanding  voting  common  stock  of  Munich-based
Computer 2000 AG ("Computer  2000") held by its parent  company,  Duisburg-based
Klockner  & Co. AG.  Klockner & Co. is a  subsidiary  of  Munich-based  VIAG AG.
Computer 2000 is Europe's leading  distributor of technology  products with over
40  subsidiaries  in more than 30 countries.  Consideration  issued by Tech Data
will be $300 million of  convertible  subordinated  notes  (coupon rate of 5.0%,
five year term and convertible  into shares of common stock at $56.25 per share)
and 2.2 million shares of Tech Data common stock. The closing of the transaction
is subject to the completion of due diligence and other terms and conditions and
is expected to be completed on or about June 30, 1998.  In Computer  2000's most
recent fiscal year ended  September  30, 1997,  the company  reported  sales and
operating  profits of DM 8.2 billion ($4.9  billion) and DM 110.1 million ($65.9
million), respectively.

NOTE 3 - ACQUISITION:

     On July 1, 1997 the Company acquired approximately 77% of the voting common
stock and 7% of the non-voting preferred stock of Macrotron AG ("Macrotron"),  a
distributor  of  technology  products  based in  Munich,  Germany.  The  initial
acquisition was completed  through an exchange of  approximately  $26 million in
cash and 406,586  shares of the  Company's  common stock,  for a combined  total
value of $35 million.  As of April 30, 1998, the Company owned approximately 99%
and 91% of  Macrotron's  common  and  preferred  stock,  respectively.  The cash
portion of the initial  acquisition and the subsequent  purchases of Macrotron's
common and preferred stock were funded from the Company's  revolving credit loan
agreements.




                                        6




     The  acquisition  of Macrotron is accounted for under the purchase  method.
The preliminary  purchase price allocation has resulted in  approximately  $53.4
million  in  excess  cost  over the net fair  market  value of  tangible  assets
acquired  as of April 30,  1998.  The  Company  is  currently  implementing  its
acquisition  strategy  which  may  result  in an  adjustment  to the net  assets
acquired.   Consistent  with  the  Company's   accounting   policy  for  foreign
subsidiaries,   Macrotron's  operations  are  consolidated  into  the  Company's
consolidated  financial statements on a calendar year basis.  Consequently,  the
Company's  fiscal quarter ended April 30, 1998 includes  Macrotron's  operations
for the three month period beginning January 1, 1998 and ended March 31, 1998.

     The following pro forma unaudited results of operations  reflect the effect
on the Company's operations,  as if the above described acquisition had occurred
at the beginning of the period presented below:

     The unaudited pro forma information is presented for informational purposes
only and includes certain pro forma  adjustments.  Such pro forma information is
not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had
the Macrotron  acquisition  been  consummated  as of the beginning of the period
above, nor are they necessarily indicative of future operating results.

NOTE 4 - NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE:

     Effective for the fiscal year ended January 31, 1998,  the Company  adopted
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 128,  "Earnings  per
Share"  ("SFAS  128")  and  related  interpretations.  SFAS  128  requires  dual
presentation of Basic Earnings per Share ("Basic EPS") and Diluted  Earnings per
Share  ("Diluted  EPS").  Basic EPS is computed  by  dividing  net income by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reported period.
Diluted EPS reflects the  potential  dilution  that could occur if stock options
were exercised using the treasury stock method. Earnings per share for all prior
periods have been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS 128. The  composition
of basic and diluted net income per common share is as follows:

Net income per common share - diluted ............   $       .46   $       .41


NOTE 5 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME:

     Effective  in the first  quarter  ended April 30, 1998 the Company  adopted
SFAS 130, "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income". SFAS 130 establishes standards for
reporting  and  display  of  comprehensive  income  and  its  components  in the
Company's consolidated financial statements.  Comprehensive income is defined in
SFAS 130 as the change in equity (net assets) of a business  enterprise during a
period from  transactions  and other  events and  circumstances  from  non-owner
sources.  Total comprehensive income was $23.0 million and $17.2 million for the
three months ended April 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The difference between
net income as reported and total comprehensive income is the tax effected change
in the cumulative translation adjustment.

NOTE 6 - RECENT  ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT:

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". SFAS
131 requires that companies  disclose segment data based on how management makes
decisions   about   allocating   resources  to  segments  and  measuring   their
performance.  The  statement  is  effective  for fiscal  years  beginning  after
December  15,  1997 but does  not  require  compliance  with  interim  reporting
requirements  until the second year of  implementation.  The standard  addresses
disclosure issues and therefore will not affect the Company's financial position
or results of operations.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                      ------------------------------------

                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                ------------------------------------------------

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

Three Months Ended April 30, 1998 and 1997
- ------------------------------------------

     Net sales  increased  59.4% to $2.18 billion in the first quarter of fiscal
1999 compared to $1.37 billion in the first quarter last year.  This increase is
attributable  to the  acquisition  of Macrotron  AG, the addition of new product
lines and the expansion of existing  product lines  combined with an increase in
the Company's  market share.  The Company's  domestic sales  increased 32% while
international  sales  advanced 243% in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 compared
to the prior  year  first  quarter.  The  significant  growth  in the  Company's
international sales is attributable to the acquisition of Macrotron AG, in which
the  Company  acquired a  controlling  interest  on July 1, 1997.  International
business  represented  approximately  28% of fiscal 1999 first quarter net sales
compared to 13% for the first quarter of fiscal 1998.

     The cost of products sold as a percentage of net sales increased from 93.1%
in the first  quarter of fiscal 1998,  compared to 93.6% in the current  period.
This  increase  is the 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  59.4% to $94.8
million in the first  quarter of fiscal 1999  compared  to $59.5  million in the
prior year and as a percentage of net sales was 4.34% in each period. The dollar
value increase is  attributable to the acquisition of Macrotron AG and increases
in other operating expenses needed to support the increased volume of business.

     As a result of the factors  described  above,  operating  profit  increased
26.0% to $45.0  million,  or 2.1% of net sales,  in the first  quarter of fiscal
1999, compared to $35.7 million, or 2.6% of net sales for the first quarter last
year.

     Interest  expense  increased in the first  quarter of fiscal 1999 due to an
increase in the average  outstanding  indebtedness  related to funding continued
growth and the acquisition of Macrotron AG.
 
     The  provision  for income taxes  increased  26.2% to $13.8  million in the
first quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to $10.9 million last year.  This increase
is attributable to an increase in the Company's  income before income taxes. The
Company's average





                                        9




income tax rate  declined to 37.3% in the first  quarter this year compared with
37.5% in the prior year due to fluctuations in the amount of federal,  state and
foreign taxable income reported in each period.

     As a result of the factors  described  above, net income increased 26.8% to
$23.1 million,  or $.46 per diluted  share,  in the first quarter of fiscal 1999
compared  to $18.2  million,  or $.41  per  diluted  share,  in the  prior  year
comparable quarter.

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

     Net cash  provided by operating  activities  of $214.4  million  during the
first  quarter  of  fiscal  1999  was  primarily  attributable  to  income  from
operations of $23.1 million as well as increases in accounts payable and accrued
expenses  combined  with a  decrease  in  inventories,  partially  offset  by an
increase in accounts receivable.

     Net cash used in investing  activities  of $20.5  million  during the first
three months of fiscal 1999 was  attributable  to the  continuing  investment of
$16.4 million related to the expansion of the Company's  management  information
systems, office facilities and distribution centers combined with the payment of
$4.1 million related to the  acquisition of additional  shares of the common and
preferred   stock  of  Macrotron  AG.  The  Company   expects  to  make  capital
expenditures of  approximately  $75 - $100 million during fiscal 1999 to further
expand its management  information  systems,  office facilities and distribution
centers.

     Net cash used in financing  activities of $195.4  million  during the first
three  months  of fiscal  1999  reflects  the net  repayments  on the  Company's
revolving  credit  loans  and  long-term  debt of $205.2  million  offset by the
proceeds from stock option exercises  (including the related income tax benefit)
of $9.8 million.

     The Company  currently  maintains  domestic  and foreign  revolving  credit
agreements which provide maximum  short-term  borrowings of  approximately  $907
million  (including  local  country  credit  lines),  of which $335  million was
outstanding at April 30, 1998. The Company  believes that cash from  operations,
available and  obtainable  bank credit lines,  trade credit from its vendors and
periodic  offerings of the Company's common stock and equity securities (both in
public  offerings  and  in  connection  with  business   combinations)  will  be
sufficient to satisfy its working capital and capital  expenditure needs through
fiscal 1999.

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




                                       10




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 customer  payment  history and other relevant
information.  The Company has credit insurance which insures a percentage of the
credit   extended  by  the  Company  to  certain  of  its  larger  domestic  and
international  customers against possible loss. Customers who qualify for credit
terms are  typically  granted net 30 day payment  terms.  The Company also sells
product on a prepay, credit card, cash on delivery and floor-plan basis.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement
- -------------------------------

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". SFAS
131 requires that companies  disclose segment data based on how management makes
decisions   about   allocating   resources  to  segments  and  measuring   their
performance.  The  statement  is  effective  for fiscal  years  beginning  after
December  15,  1997 but does  not  require  compliance  with  interim  reporting
requirements  until the second year of  implementation.  The standard  addresses
disclosure issues and therefore will not affect the Company's financial position
or results of operations.

Comments on Forward-Looking Information
- ---------------------------------------

     In connection with the "safe harbor"  provisions of the Private  Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company,  in Exhibit 99A to its Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 1998, outlined cautionary statements
and identified  important  factors that could cause the Company's actual results
to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements made by,
or on behalf of, the Company.  Such forward-looking  statements,  as made within
this Form  10-Q,  should  be  considered  in  conjunction  with the  information
included within the aforementioned Exhibit 99A.
