                         INACOM CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
            NOTES TO CONDENSED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
1.  CONDENSED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
    The condensed and consolidated financial statements are unaudited and
reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position and operating results for the interim periods. The condensed
and consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's
Annual Report to Stockholders incorporated by reference in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 1996. The results of
operations for the six months ended June 28, 1997 are not necessarily indicative
of the results for the entire fiscal year ending December 27, 1997.
 
2.  ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
 
    The Company has entered into an agreement to sell $200 million of accounts
receivable, with limited recourse, to an unrelated financial institution. The
agreement was initially entered into in June 1995 with respect to $100 million
of accounts receivable and was amended in January 1997 to sell an additional
$100 million of accounts receivable. New qualifying receivables are sold to the
financial institution as collections reduce previously sold receivables in order
to maintain a balance of $200 million sold receivables. On June 28, 1997, $46.6
million of additional accounts receivable were designated to offset potential
obligations under limited recourse provisions; however, historical losses on
Company receivables have been substantially less than such additional amount. On
June 28, 1997, the interest rate was 6.09%.
 
3.  INVENTORIES
 
    Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or
market and consist of computer hardware, software, voice and data equipment and
related materials.
 
4.  EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
 
    Primary earnings per share of common stock have been computed on the basis
of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding after
giving effect to equivalent common shares from dilutive stock options. Fully
diluted earnings per share further assumes the conversion of the Company's
convertible subordinated debentures for the period they were outstanding.
 
5.  MARKETING DEVELOPMENT FUNDS
 
    Primary vendors of the Company provide various incentives, in cash or credit
against obligations, for promoting and marketing their product offerings. The
funds or credits received are based on the purchases or sales of the vendor's
products and are earned through performance of specific marketing programs or
upon completion of objectives outlined by the vendors. Funds or credits earned
are applied to direct costs or selling, general and administrative expenses
depending on the objectives of the program. Funds or credits from the Company's
primary vendors typically range from 1% to 3% of purchases from these vendors.
 
6.  SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION
 
    For purposes of the condensed and consolidated statement of cash flows, the
Company considers cash and cash investments with a maturity of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.

    Revenues for the second quarter and first six months of 1997 increased
$202.4 million or 26.3% and $402.0 million or 28.5% over the second quarter and
first six months of 1996, respectively. Revenue growth resulted primarily from
computer product sales which increased $166.4 million or 23.2% and $341.4
million or 25.9% over the second quarter and first six months of 1996,
respectively. Revenues from computer services increased $30.4 million or 100.7%
and $49.9 million or 85.5% over the second quarter and first six months of 1996,
respectively. Revenues from communication products and services increased $5.6
million or 26.5% and $10.7 or 28.6% over the second quarter and first six months
of 1996, respectively.
 
    Revenues increased primarily as a result of an increase in products shipped
directly to the end-user customer, overall industry growth and the acquisitions
completed by the Company during 1996 and 1997. The increase in revenues related
to the acquisitions was approximately $20.8 million and $45.6 million over the
second quarter and first six months of 1996, respectively. The increase in
computer product sales resulted primarily from an increase in sales through the
Company-owned business centers ($129.1 million
 
                                       7

or 39.2% and $222.2 million or 35.9% over the second quarter and first six
months of 1996, respectively) and through an increase in sales through the
independent reseller channel ($49.0 million or 12.0% and $136.1 million or 18.7%
over the second quarter and first six months of 1996, respectively).
 
    Revenues from computer services increased as a result of increased sales
efforts for such service offerings, the inclusion of these services with
increasing computer product sales and the recent acquisitions completed by the
Company. The increase in computer services sales resulted primarily from an
increase in sales through the Company-owned business centers ($15.0 million or
65.4% and $24.8 million or 55.9% over the second quarter and first six months of
1996, respectively). The increase in computer services revenues related to
acquisitions was approximately $9.4 million and $13.4 million over the second
quarter and first six months of 1996, respectively. Revenues from communication
products and services increased as a result of broad based growth from the
communications product offerings.

    The increase in the Company's gross margin percentages for the first six
months of 1997 versus the same period in 1996 was primarily a result of the
increase in mix of higher-margin computer services and communications products
and services versus lower-margin computer products. The decrease in gross margin
percentage for computer products resulted primarily from a decrease in the
margin percentage on computer product sales through the Company-owned business
centers and the independent reseller channel in the first six months of 1997
versus the same period in 1996. The increase in gross margin percentage for
computer services resulted from an increase in the mix of services to include
more higher-margin systems integration services versus support and technology
procurement services. The decrease in gross margin percentage for the
communication products and services resulted from an increase in mix of revenues
to include more lower-margin communications product sales as compared to
higher-margin long distance and non-product services.

    SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
 
    Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the second quarter
and first six months of 1997 increased $24.8 million or 44.6% and $44.8 million
or 43.6% over the second quarter and first six months of 1996, respectively.
SG&A as a percent of revenue was 8.3% in the second quarter of 1997 versus 7.2%
in the second quarter of 1996, and 8.1% for the first six months of 1997 versus
7.3% for the first six months of 1996. The increase in spending and the related
increase in SG&A as a percent of revenues resulted primarily from the costs of
handling the increased product, services and communications revenues. The
Company continued to invest in the infrastructure by opening a technology
convergence distribution and configuration center in Ontario, California, during
the third quarter of 1996. The Company incurred additional costs during the
second quarter and first six months of 1997 related to integrating the
acquisitions completed in the fourth quarter of 1996 and acquisitions completed
in the first and second quarters of 1997. The increase in SG&A related to
acquisitions was approximately $6.1 million and $7.5 million over the second
quarter and first six months of 1996, respectively.
 
    INTEREST EXPENSE
 
    Interest expense for the second quarter and first six months of 1997 was
$7.1 million and $14.2 million, respectively, versus interest expense for the
second quarter and first six months of 1996 of $5.0 million and $9.9 million,
respectively. Interest expense increased primarily due to higher average daily
borrowings. Average daily borrowings for the second quarter and first six months
of 1997 were $124.1 million and $118.3 million more than the average borrowings
for the second quarter and first six months of 1996, respectively. The weighted
average borrowing rate for the second quarter of 1997 increased approximately 6
basis points over the second quarter of 1996 and decreased 15 basis points for
the first six months of 1997 versus the first six months of 1996. The increase
in the average daily borrowings resulted primarily from financing an increase in
accounts receivable resulting from the increase in revenues, and an increase in
inventory levels. The weighted average daily borrowing interest rate increased
for the second quarter of 1997 primarily due to an increase in LIBOR rates in
1997 versus 1996. The average daily borrowing interest rate decreased for the
first six months of 1997 versus the same period in 1996 primarily because the
Company sold an additional $100 million of accounts receivable in January 1997,
which as of June 28, 1997 had an interest rate of 6.09%, and issued $55.25
million of 6% convertible subordinated debentures in June 1996 (see "Liquidity
and Capital Resources"). The funding from the sale of $100 million in accounts
receivable and the issuance of $55.25 million of convertible bonds was used to
decrease the borrowings outstanding on the inventory and working capital credit
line which on June 28, 1997 had an interest rate of 7.5%.

    Net earnings for the quarter ending June 28, 1997 increased 51.7% to $6.7
million compared with net earnings of $4.4 million for the second quarter of
1996. Share earnings increased to $.52 per fully diluted share from the $.42 per
fully diluted share reported for the same period in 1996. Net earnings for the
first six months of 1997 increased 61.2% to $12.0 million compared with net
earnings of $7.4 million for the first six months of 1996. Share earnings
increased to $.94 per fully diluted share from the $.71 per fully diluted share
reported for the same period in 1996. This increase resulted from the factors
discussed above.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
    The Company's primary sources of liquidity are provided through an inventory
and working capital financing agreement of $550.0 million (increased from $350.0
million as of June 27, 1997), convertible subordinated debentures of $55.25
million, and a revolving credit facility of $40.0 million.
 
    The $550.0 million inventory and working capital financing agreement, which
is provided by an unrelated financial services organization, was amended in 1997
and expires June 29, 1998. On June 28, 1997, $338.8 million was outstanding
under the inventory and working capital financing agreement including $258.8
million for inventory and $80.0 million for working capital and the interest
rate was 7.5% based on LIBOR. This inventory and working capital financing
agreement is secured by inventory and accounts receivable.
 
    The $55.25 million 6% convertible subordinated debentures were issued in
June 1996 and are due June 15, 2006. The debentures are convertible into common
stock of the Company at a conversion price of $24.00 per share, subject to
adjustments under certain circumstances, beginning on September 19, 1996. The
debentures are not redeemable by the Company prior to June 16, 2000 and,
thereafter, the Company may redeem the debentures at various premiums to
principal amount. The debentures may also be redeemed at the option of the
holder at any time prior to June 16, 2000 if there is a Change in Control (as
defined in the indenture) at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus
accrued interest at the date of redemption.
 
    The $40.0 million revolving credit facility agreement expires in February
1998. On June 28, 1997, $40.0 million was outstanding under the revolving credit
facility and the interest rate was 7.0% based on LIBOR. The revolving credit
facility is secured by inventory and accounts receivable.
 
    The debt agreements contain certain restrictive covenants, including the
maintenance of minimum levels of working capital, tangible net worth,
limitations on incurring additional indebtedness and restrictions on the amount
of net loss the Company can incur. Certain covenants effectively limit the
amount of dividends which the Company may pay to the stockholders. The amount of
retained earnings on March 29, 1997 not restricted as to payments of cash
dividends under the most restrictive covenants in such agreements was
approximately $78.8 million. The Company was in compliance with the covenants
contained in the agreements on June 28, 1997.
 
    Long-term debt was 21.1% of total long-term debt and equity at June 28, 1997
versus 30.3% at June 29, 1996. The decrease was primarily a result of the
payment of $13.6 million of private placement
 
                                       10

notes previously held by unaffiliated insurance companies and an increase in
equity due to earnings and the issuance of additional shares of common stock.
 
    The Company has entered into an agreement to sell $200 million of accounts
receivable, with limited recourse, to an unrelated financial institution. The
agreement was initially entered into in June 1995 with respect to $100 million
of accounts receivable and was amended in January 1997 to sell an additional
$100 million of accounts receivable. New qualifying receivables are sold to the
financial institution as collections reduce previously sold receivables in order
to maintain a balance of $200 million sold receivables. On June 28, 1997, $46.6
million of additional accounts receivable were designated to offset potential
obligations under limited recourse provisions; however, historical losses on
Company receivables have been substantially less than such additional amount. On
June 28, 1997, the interest rate was 6.09%.
 
    The Company occasionally uses derivative financial instruments to reduce
interest rate risk. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial
instruments for trading purposes. On January 17, 1997 the Company entered into a
one-year interest rate swap agreement with an unrelated financial institution
which resulted in certain floating rate interest payment obligations becoming
fixed rate interest payment obligations at 5.82%. The principal amount of the
swap agreement was $100 million.
 
    During the first six months of 1997, the Company used $44.0 million of cash
in operations. Inventory increased by $74.1 million during the first six months
with a portion of the increase offset by an increase in accounts payable of
$68.8 million. Accounts receivable also increased $55.2 million during the first
six months of 1997. Inventory increased during the first six months of 1997 as a
result of the Company taking advantage of certain major manufacturers inventory
incentive programs. Accounts payable increased as a result of the increase in
inventory levels. Accounts receivable increased during the first six months
primarily as a result of the increase in revenues for the first six months of
1997.
 
    The Company used $35.9 million in cash for investing activities in the first
six months of 1997. Cash of $19.8 million was used to purchase fixtures and
equipment and cash of $4.1 million was used for business combinations.
 
    Net cash provided from financing activities for the first six months of 1997
totaled $79.2 million, of which $100.0 million was provided from the sale of
accounts receivable. The financing proceeds were used to reduce short term
borrowings of $20.8 million.
 
    The Company believes the funding expected to be generated from operations
and provided by the existing credit facilities will be sufficient to meet
working capital and capital investment needs in 1997.
