            NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1:  GENERAL

The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by the
Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading.  These condensed financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the
notes thereto in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
May 31, 1995.

In the opinion of the Company, the unaudited condensed financial statements
reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of February 29,
1996 and the results of its operations for the three month and nine month
periods and its cash flows for the nine month periods ended February 29, 1996
and February 28, 1995.

NOTE 2:  ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Reference is made to Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements in the Company's
annual report on Form 10-K for the summary of significant accounting policies.

NOTE 3:  INVESTMENT IN SONEPAR ELECTRONIQUE INTERNATIONAL

As described in Note 6 to the Financial Statements in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 1995, the Company invested 151
million French Francs (approximately $27.9 million U.S. dollars) in Sonepar
Electronique International, the third largest electronic component distributor
in Europe.  This investment is in the form of an interest bearing, convertible
note guaranteed by a major French bank as to default.

Three and Nine Month Periods Ended February 29, 1996 and February 28, 1995:

The increase in net sales for the third quarter and the first nine months of
fiscal 1996, as compared to fiscal 1995, was primarily due to an increase in the
sales volume of semiconductor products.  Sales of semiconductor products
increased by $30,240,000 and $127,313,000 for the three and nine month periods
ended February 29, 1996, respectively, as compared to the same periods of fiscal
1995. The increase in sales of semiconductor products was mainly the result of
continued strong market demand for such products and increased sales of products
from suppliers added in recent years.

The Company has experienced industry-wide product shortages and excess supplies
from time to time.  In recent months, there has been an increase in the
availability of products, particularly memory devices.  During this period,
memory devices have experienced significant market pricing pressures.

The decrease in net margins as a percent of sales for the nine months to date
of fiscal 1996, as compared to fiscal 1995, was due to a decline in the margins
on many of the Company's major products. This decline in margins resulted from
market pressures on the pricing of a number of the Company's products, and an
increase in the sales volume of lower margin products.  The Company believes
that these conditions affecting margins may continue in the near term.  Net
margins as a percent of sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1996, as compared
to fiscal 1995, has remained consistent.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased in dollars 
for the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal 1996 as compared to 
fiscal 1995, largely due to higher salary and incentive costs and information 
systems enhancements.  For the three months ended February 29, 1996, there 
was also a change in the staffing mix between years with an increase of 
approximately 30 sales people, partially offset by a net reduction in 
warehouse and finance clerical staff.  In addition, there were increases in 
advertising and delivery costs. Primarily due to the increase in sales 
volume, but with relatively lower levels of increase in operating costs to 
meet this volume increase, SG&A, as a percentage of sales, declined to 10.8% 
from 11.1% and 10.6% from 12.0% for the three and nine month periods

ended February 29, 1996, as compared to the same periods of a
year ago.

The decrease in interest expense for the third quarter and first nine months of
fiscal 1996, as compared to fiscal 1995, was due primarily to lower borrowing
levels in fiscal 1996.

The Company's sources of liquidity at February 29, 1996 consisted principally
of working capital of $294,314,000 and unsecured bank lines of credit of
$55,000,000 of which $22,000,000 was used.  The Company believes that its
working capital, borrowing capabilities and additional funds generated from
operations should be sufficient to finance its future operations requirements.
