     information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial
     statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and
     regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), although the
     Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the
     information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be
     read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes
     contained in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended
     June 30, 1997. Other than as indicated herein, there have been no
     significant changes from the financial data published in that report. In
     the opinion of management, such unaudited information reflects all
     adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals and other
     adjustments as disclosed herein, necessary for a fair presentation of the
     unaudited information.

     Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results
     expected for the full year, or for any subsequent period.

     The balance sheet for June 30, 1997 has been derived from the audited
     balance sheet for that date.


(2)  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Revenue Recognition - The Company records revenue when products are
     shipped.

     Inventories - Inventories consisting of point of sale and bar code
     equipment are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or
     market.

(3)  LINE OF CREDIT

     In November 1996 the Company closed a line of credit agreement with a bank
     which extends to October 1998 whereby the Company can borrow up to $15
     million, based upon 80% of eligible accounts receivable and 40% of non-IBM
     inventory at the 30 day LIBOR rate of interest plus a rate varying from
     2.00% to 2.65% tied to the Company's debt to net worth ratio ranging from
     1:1 to 2:1. All outstanding debt under the line of credit was repaid in
     October 1997 with proceeds from the sale of stock described in note 5,
     therefore the full $15 million line was available at December 31, 1997.

                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



(4) PURCHASE OF PROCOM SUPPLY CORPORATION

    On September 12, 1997 the Company acquired the assets and assumed the
    liabilities of ProCom Supply Corporation (ProCom), a business telephone
    distributor, as follows:



 
 
                                                 
    Accounts receivable............................  $385,000
    Inventory......................................   880,000
    Fixed assets and other.........................    22,000
    Goodwill.......................................   525,000
                                                   ----------
                                                    1,812,000
                                                   ----------
 
   Trade accounts payable.........................   (412,000)
   Other liabilities..............................   (150,000)
   Amount due to former ProCom owner..............   (550,000)
                                                   ----------
                                                   (1,112,000)

   Cash paid......................................   $700,000
                                                   ==========

 

   The value of goodwill is based primarily upon the acquired customer base,
   telephony industry knowledge, and established presence which ProCom had in
   the industry. The amount due to former ProCom owner will be paid after the
   collectibility of receivables and the marketability of inventory is
   determined.

(5) SECONDARY OFFERING

    In October 1997 the Company completed a public offering of 1,538,600 shares
    of common stock at $18.25 per share. Proceeds to the Company, after
    approximately $578,000 of offering expenses and a $1.095 per share
    underwriting discount, was approximately $25.8 million. The Company used a
    portion of the offering proceeds to pay off its line of credit described in
    note 3 above.

(6) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

    In January 1998 ScanSource issued 220,513 shares of its common stock in
    exchange for all the outstanding shares of two companies, doing business as
    POS ProVisions (USA) and POS ProVisions, Ltd. (Canada), in a business
    combination that meets all the criteria for the pooling-of-interests
    accounting. Previously reported financial statements of ScanSource will not
    be restated for the combinations, since the acquired companies are not
    material to ScanSource. POS ProVisions are each distributors of point-of-
    sale equipment.

    In January 1998 the Company issued 60,000 shares of its common stock in a
    cashless exercise by the holders of the remaining 42,000 units of the
    underwriters Unit Purchase Option.

PART I.   FINANCIAL INFORMATION


          ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                   FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Results of Operations


     NET SALES.    Net sales for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 increased
75.0% to $39.2 million from $22.4 million for the comparable prior year quarter.
Net sales increased 77.2% to $74.6 million for the six months ended December 31,
1997 from $42.1 million for the comparable prior year period.  Growth of net
sales resulted primarily from additions to the Company's sales force,
competitive product pricing, selective expansion of its product line, and
increased marketing efforts to specialty technology resellers.

     GROSS PROFIT.    Gross profit for the quarter ended December 31, 1997
increased 70.0% to $5.1 million from $3.0 million for the comparable prior year
quarter. Gross profit increased 59.7% to $9.1 million for the six months ended
December 31, 1997 from $5.7 million for the comparable prior year period.  Gross
profit as a percentage of sales for the quarter and six months ended December
31, 1997 was 12.9% and 12.2%, respectively,  compared to 13.5% and 13.6%,
respectively, for the comparable prior year periods.  The decrease in gross
profit as a percentage of sales is the result of a change in the mix of sales of
more lower-margin products and the volume discounts provided to resellers on
large orders.

     OPERATING EXPENSES.  Operating expenses, which include selling, general and
administrative expenses and amortization, for the quarter ended December 31,
1997 increased 79.0% to $3.4 million compared to $1.9 million for the comparable
prior year period.  Operating expenses for the six months ended December 31,
1997 increased 63.9% to $5.9 million from $3.6 million for the comparable prior
year period.  Operating expenses as a percentage of sales was 8.6% and 7.9%,
respectively,  for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1997, compared
to 8.4% for both of the comparable prior year periods.  Generally, lower gross
margin sales require the Company to provide fewer value-added services causing a
corresponding decrease in operating expenses.  The general and administrative
portion of operating expenses also decreased as a percentage of sales due to
efficiencies gained through increased sales volume.

     OPERATING INCOME.    Operating income for the quarter ended December 31,
1997 increased 54.6% to $1.7 million from $1.1 million for the same period in
1996, driven by the improvement in gross profit as described above.  Operating
income increased 57.1% to $3.3 million for the six months ended December 31,
1997 from $2.1 million for the comparable prior year period.   Operating income
as a percentage of sales was 4.4% for both the quarter and six months ended
December 31, 1997, compared to 5.0% and 5.1%, respectively,  for the comparable
prior year periods.

     OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE).  Total other income (expense), net consists of
interest income (expense), net, and other expense, net.  Net interest income for
the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1997 was $214,000 and $111,000,
respectively, representing earnings from invested cash resulting from the
Company's sale of stock in October 1997.  Net interest expense for the quarter
and six months ended December 31, 1996 of $88,000 and $169,000, respectively,
resulted from interest paid on borrowings under the Company's line of credit.

                                       8

 
     INCOME TAXES.    Tax expense was provided at a 38% effective rate for both
the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1997, and represented the state
and federal tax expected to be due after annualizing income to the fiscal year
end.  Tax expense was also provided at a 38% effective rate for the quarter and
six months ended December 31, 1996.

     NET INCOME.   The effect of improved operating income, and net interest
income, resulted in net income increasing 85.5% to $1.2 million for the quarter
ended December 31, 1997 from $640,000 for the year-earlier quarter.  Net income
for the six months ended December 31, 1997 increased 75.0% to $2.1 from $1.2
million for the comparable prior year period.   Net income as a percentage of
sales was 3.0% and 2.8%, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended
December 31, 1997 compared to 2.9% for both the quarter and six months ended
December 31, 1996.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company financed its initial operating requirements and growth through
private financings totaling $500,000.  In March 1994, the Company completed an
initial  public offering of units, which consisted of common stock and warrants,
which provided the Company with approximately $4.6 million.  The Company also
received proceeds of approximately $6.3 million from common stock issued upon
the exercise of stock purchase warrants prior to their redemption date in
September 1995.  In October 1997 the Company completed a secondary offering of
stock which provided the Company approximately $25.8 million for general
corporate purposes, including working capital and possible acquisitions.

     In November 1996 the Company renegotiated a bank line of credit agreement
extending to October 31, 1998 whereby the Company can borrow up to $15 million,
based upon 80% of eligible accounts receivable and 40% of non-IBM inventory, at
the 30 day LIBOR rate of interest, plus a rate varying from 2.00% to 2.65% tied
to the Company's debt to net worth ratio ranging from 1:1 to 2:1. The revolving
credit is secured by accounts receivable and inventory.  All outstanding debt
under the line of credit was repaid in October 1997 with proceeds from the sale
of stock; therefore the full $15 million line was available at December 31,
1997.

     For the six months ended December 31, 1997 net cash of $8.8 million was
used in operating activities compared to $973,000 for the six months ended
December 31, 1996.  Cash used in operations was primarily from increases in
receivables and inventory partially offset by growth in trade payables.

     Cash used in investing activities of $1.4 million for the six months ended
December 31, 1997 included $700,000 for the purchase of ProCom Supply
Corporation and $692,000 for capital expenditures, including $170,000 for the
Company's computer conversion to a UNIX-based operating system. Cash used in
investing activities for the six months ended December 31, 1996 was $340,000 for
capital expenditures.

     Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended December 31,
1997 and 1996 was $20.9 million and $1.3 million, respectively.  For 1997 cash
of $25.8 million and $67,000 was 

                                       9

 
provided from the sale of common stock in an October 1997 public offering and
from the exercise of stock options, respectively. Approximately $6.6 million of
this cash was used to pay down the outstanding balance under the Company's line
of credit, compared to $1.3 million borrowed on the line of credit for the same
period in 1996.
 
     The Company's current ratios at December 31, 1997 and at June 30, 1997 were
3.23 and 2.39, respectively.
