UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

         The unaudited pro forma combined financial  statements are based on the
historical  consolidated  financial  statements of InaCom Corp.  ("InaCom")  and
Vanstar  Corporation  ("Vanstar")  and give effect to the merger as a pooling of
interests.  The unaudited pro forma  combined  statements of operations  for the
first  nine  months of fiscal  years 1998 and 1997 and for  fiscal  years  ended
December 1997,  1996 and 1995 assume that the merger had been  consummated as of
the beginning of the earliest period presented. The unaudited pro forma combined
balance sheet data assume that the merger, whereby Vanstar became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of InaCom,  had been  consummated on September 26, 1998, with respect
to InaCom and October 31, 1998 with  respect to Vanstar.  InaCom's  fiscal years
ended on December 27, 1997,  December 28, 1996 and December 30, 1995;  Vanstar's
fiscal  years  ended on  April  30,  1998,  1997 and  1996.  InaCom's  financial
reporting  period will be adopted by the  combined  entity.  For purposes of the
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations, Vanstar's fiscal year end
has been adjusted to conform with  Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  For purposes of presenting  unaudited pro forma combined  financial
statements,  Vanstar's  fiscal  year  end has been  adjusted  to  January  31 by
including the reported financial statements for the quarter ended January 31 and
the three  previous  quarters ended October 31, July 31 and April 30 . Vanstar's
nine month financial statements have been adjusted to include reported financial
data for  quarters  ended  October 31, July 31 and April 30. The  unaudited  pro
forma adjustments described in the accompanying notes are based upon preliminary
estimates and certain  assumptions  that the  managements  of InaCom and Vanstar
believe are reasonable.

         As a result of the merger,  all amounts  outstanding under InaCom's and
Vanstar's credit  facilities and trade receivables  financing  facilities become
immediately due and payable. Prior to the consummation of the merger, Vanstar or
InaCom received written waivers from the parties to those agreements.  Also as a
result of the merger, InaCom will be required to give a notice to the holders of
$141.5 million of convertible  subordinated debentures that a holder can require
InaCom to repurchase  such holder's  debentures at 100% of the principal  amount
plus accrued and unpaid interest.  The holders may only exercise such repurchase
option during the 30-day period following the date of the notice.

         The  unaudited  pro  forma  financial  statements  are not  necessarily
indicative of actual or future financial  position or results of operations that
would have or will occur upon consummation of the merger,  and should be read in
conjunction  with the audited and unaudited  historical  consolidated  financial
statements, including the notes thereto, of InaCom and Vanstar.

           NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         On October 8, 1998,  InaCom,  Vanstar and a wholly owned  subsidiary of
InaCom entered into the agreement providing for the merger which was consummated
on  February  17,  1999  with the  result  that  Vanstar  became a  wholly-owned
subsidiary of InaCom.  As a result of the merger,  each of the then  outstanding
shares of Vanstar  common  stock was  converted  into the right to  receive  .64
shares of InaCom common stock.

         The  unaudited  pro  forma  combined  financial  statements  have  been
prepared  assuming  that the merger will be accounted  for under the "pooling of
interests" method of accounting. Under this method of accounting, the assets and
liabilities  of InaCom and  Vanstar  will be  combined  based on the  respective
carrying values of the accounts in the historical  financial  statements of each
entity.  Results of  operations of the combined  company will include  income of
InaCom and Vanstar for the entire fiscal period in which the combination  occurs
and the  historical  results of operations of the separate  companies for fiscal
years  prior to the merger  will be  combined  and  reported  as the  results of
operations of the combined company.

         InaCom's fiscal years ended on December 27, 1997, December 28, 1996 and
December 30, 1995; Vanstar's fiscal year ended on April 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996.
InaCom's financial  reporting period will be adopted by the combined entity. For
purposes of the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of Operations,
Vanstar's  fiscal year end has been adjusted to conform with Regulation S-X. For
purposes of presenting  unaudited pro forma combined  financial data,  Vanstar's
fiscal  year end has been  adjusted  to January  31 by  including  the  reported
financial data for the quarter ending January 31 and the three previous quarters
ending October 31, July 31 and April 30. Vanstar's nine month financial data has
been adjusted to include reported financial data for quarters ending October 31,
July 31 and April 30. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined  Condensed  Balance Sheet
assumes  that the merger had been  consummated  as of  September  26,  1998 with
respect to InaCom and October 31, 1998 with respect to Vanstar.

NOTE 2 - ADJUSTMENTS TO RECORD MERGER-RELATED CHARGES

         InaCom  expects  to  record  a  material   pre-tax   charge   following
consummation  of the  merger  to  cover  (1)  the  direct  costs  of the  merger
(including  the fees of  financial  advisors,  legal  counsel,  and  independent
auditors),  (2) the cost of  integrating  certain  aspects of the  businesses of
InaCom and Vanstar, (3) the cost of canceling certain purchase commitments,  (4)
the  costs  of  employee   terminations  and  facility   expenses  to  eliminate
duplicative  functions and locations,  and (5) other merger related items.  This
pre-tax  charge is  estimated  to be in the range of $120 to $155  million.  The
after-tax  impact of this charge is  estimated to be in the range of $83 to $107
million, and the midpoint of this range has been charged to Retained Earnings in
the  foregoing  Unaudited  Pro  Forma  Combined  Condensed  Balance  Sheet.  The
estimated  charges  and  nature of the  costs  included  therein  as well as the
periods in which  these  costs are  recorded  are  subject to change as InaCom's
integration  plan is more fully  developed  and more accurate  estimates  become
available.

NOTE 3 - COMBINED COMPANY ALIGNMENT AND RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

         In connection with the implementation of the merger,  InaCom expects to
continue an assessment  and study of assets and resources  required to carry out
business  objectives  and  plans.  In  addition  to the  merger-related  charges
described  in Note 2,  following  the closing  InaCom  expects to incur costs to
align the combined  company  operations  to meet the changing  conditions of the
industry,  principally the evolution of a "build-to-order"  model. These actions
could lead to  additional  costs from the combined  company's  efforts to reduce
inventory levels due to changes in vendor and customer programs.  The additional
costs  related to the  integration  and  alignment of the  combined  company are
preliminarily estimated to be from $40 to $80 million, on a pre-tax basis. These
amounts  and the nature of the costs  included  therein as well as the period in
which these costs are recorded cannot be determined  until InaCom's  integration
plans are more fully  developed  and  implemented  and more  accurate  estimates
become  available.  These  additional  pre-tax  charges are not reflected in the
unaudited pro forma financial statements included herein.

         Not included in the merger-related  charges described in Note 2 and the
preliminary  estimate of costs related to the  integration  and alignment of the
combined company stated above, are the restructuring and unusual pre-tax charges
of $45.3 million that Vanstar  included in its second  quarter ended October 31,
1998. These  additional  pre-tax charges are included in the unaudited pro forma
financial statements included herein.

NOTE 4 - CHANGE IN CONTROL

         Upon the  consummation  of the  merger,  InaCom  underwent  a change in
control,  the impact of which is reflected in the foregoing  Unaudited Pro Forma
Combined Condensed Balance Sheet. The item impacted by this change in control is
the convertible subordinated debentures.

         InaCom has outstanding $55,250,000 in aggregate principal amount of its
6%  convertible  subordinated  debentures  due June 15, 2006 and  $86,250,000 in
aggregate principal amount of its 4.5% convertible  subordinated  debentures due
November  1,  2004.  Upon  consummation  of the  merger,  each  holder  of these
debentures can require InaCom to repurchase such holder's  debentures at 100% of
the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest.  Moreover,  with
respect to the 4.5% debentures, unless InaCom has repaid all senior indebtedness
on or before the repurchase date, InaCom must pay the repurchase price in InaCom
common stock valued at 95% of the average of the closing prices of InaCom common
stock for the five  consecutive  trading  days  ending on the third  trading day
preceding the repurchase date.

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES

         Estimated  provision for income taxes related to pro forma  adjustments
are  based  on an  assumed  combined  federal  and  state  income  tax  rate  of
approximately 38%, adjusted for certain nondeductible items.

NOTE 6 - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

         The pro forma combined per common share data has been computed based on
the combined  historical  income from operations and on the combined  historical
weighted average common shares and equivalents outstanding. For purposes of this
calculation,  Vanstar's  weighted  average common shares and common  equivalents
outstanding were multiplied by .64, the exchange ratio.
