                                SCANSOURCE, INC.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)  Basis of Presentation

     The interim financial information included herein is unaudited. Certain
     information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated
     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, 1999. 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 condensed  consolidated  balance sheet for June 30, 1999 has been
     derived from the audited consolidated 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.

     Net Income Per Share - Basic net income per share is computed by dividing
     net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
     Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the
     weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding.
     Diluted weighted average common and potential common shares include common
     shares and stock options using the treasury stock method. Basic and diluted
     weighted average shares differed only by the effect of dilutive stock
     options. There were no differences between the net income used to calculate
     basic and diluted net income per share for the three months ended September
     30, 1998 and 1999.

(3)  Line of Credit

     The Company has a line of credit agreement with a bank extending to October
     31, 2001 with a borrowing limit of $35 million, based upon 80% of eligible
     accounts receivable and 40% of eligible inventory at the 30 day LIBOR rate
     of interest plus a rate varying from 1.50% to 2.00%

                                       6




     tied to the Company's debt-to-net worth ratio ranging from .75:1 to 2:1.
     The loan base would have provided borrowings up to $35 million at September
     30, 1999. The revolving credit facility is collateralized by accounts
     receivable and eligible inventory. The agreement contains certain financial
     covenants including minimum net worth and capital expenditure requirements
     and a maximum debt to tangible net worth ratio. The Company was either in
     compliance with the various covenants or had obtained waivers of
     noncompliance at September 30, 1999.

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 September 30, 1999 increased
86.4% to $113.2 million from $60.7 million for the comparable prior year
quarter. 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 September 30, 1999
increased 57.7% to $11.0 million from $7.0 million for the comparable prior year
quarter. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 9.7% for the quarter ended
September 30, 1999, compared to 11.5% for the comparable prior year quarter. The
decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales is the result of a change in
the mix of sales to 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 September
30, 1999 increased 49.5% to $6.7 million compared to $4.5 million for the
comparable prior year period. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales were
5.9% for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, compared to 7.4% for the
comparable prior year period. 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 September 30,
1999 increased 72.5% to $4.3 million from $2.5 million for the same period in
1998, driven by the improvement in gross profit as described above. Operating
income as a percentage of sales was 3.8% for the quarter ended September 30,
1999, compared to 4.1% for the comparable prior year period.

         Other Income (Expense). Total other income (expense) net consists of
interest income (expense), net, and other expense, net. Interest income for the
quarter ended September 30, 1999 of $98,000 resulted from interest income from
invested cash offset by interest paid on the building loan. Net interest expense
for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 of $43,000 resulted from interest paid
on borrowings from the Company's line of credit and the building loan.

         Income Taxes. Tax expense was provided at an effective rate of 38% and
37%, respectively, for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively, and represented the state and federal tax expected to be due after
annualizing income to the fiscal year end.

         Net Income. Improved operating income caused net income to increase
76.8% to $2.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 from $1.5 million
for the year-earlier quarter. Net income as a percentage of sales was 2.4% for
the quarter ended September 30, 1999 compared to 2.5% for the quarter ended
September 30, 1998.

                                       8




Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company's primary sources of liquidity are results of operations,
borrowings under its revolving credit facility, and proceeds from the sales of
securities. In October 1997 the Company completed a secondary offering of stock
which provided the Company approximately $26 million for general corporate
purposes.

         The Company has a line of credit agreement with a bank extending to
October 31, 2001 with a borrowing limit of $35.0 million at an interest rate
equal to the 30 day LIBOR rate plus a rate varying from 1.50% to 2.00% tied to
the Company's debt-to-net worth ratio ranging from .75:1 to 2:1. The borrowing
base available under the credit facility is limited to 80% of eligible accounts
receivable and 40% of eligible inventory. The borrowing base at June 30, 1999
supported borrowings under the line of credit of up to $35 million. There were
no amounts outstanding under the line of credit at September 30, 1999.

         For the quarter ended September 30, 1999 net cash of $3.6 million was
used in operating activities compared to $12.1 million provided by operations
for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. Cash used in operations in 1999 was
primarily from increases in receivables and inventory partially offset by growth
in trade payables. Cash provided by operations in 1998 was primarily from an
increase in accounts payable, which exceeded the amount needed to fund,
increases in receivables and inventory.

         Cash used in  investing  activities  of over  $500,000  for each
 quarter  ended  September  30, 1999 and 1998 was for capital expenditures.

         Cash provided by financing activities for the quarter ended March 31,
1999 was $187,000, primarily proceeds from option exercises. Cash used in
financing activities for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 was $4.7 million,
primarily from payments on the Company's line of credit.

         The Company's current ratios at September 30, 1999 and at June 30, 1999
were 1.63 and  1.78, respectively.

Year 2000

     Introduction. The Year 2000 ('Y2K") issues as they relate to the Company
have arisen because many computer systems, software and devices used either
directly by the Company or indirectly by the Company's vendors and customers
will not handle dates after 1999. This issue has been caused by the practice of
storing the year as the last two digits, and assuming the first two digits as
"19" (i.e., the number "99" for the year "1999"). Systems, software and devices
that do not adequately address Y2K could cause an interruption of services. The
following outlines the Company's approach to the Y2K issue.

     State of Readiness. With the assistance of an outside consultant, the
Company formed a Y2K Project Team to oversee the Company's Y2K readiness
activities in the information technology (IT) and non-IT areas, assess Y2K risks
in connection with third-party relationships and develop contingency plans. The
Y2K Project Team has conducted a review of the Company's computer

                                       9




systems, including its primary business software, and believes that such
computer systems and software are Y2K compliant. The Y2K project team has the
involvement of members of senior management, who have kept the Board of
Directors advised as to all developments and progress.

     IT Systems. Since early 1996, ScanSource, in support of its long-term
plans, has significantly upgraded and continues to upgrade its IT and
communication systems. These upgrades include: enterprise-wide application
system, a Digital Alpha Server, personal computers (PCs), PC software
(standardized on Windows NT, Windows 9x, Microsoft Office Suite and Lotus
Notes), local area networks (LAN's), LAN software (Novell NetWare, Windows NT),
wide area networks (WAN's) and network integration of advanced fax, printer, and
copier systems. The Company has tested its enterprise-wide application system
and PC's for Y2K compliance and obtained certification from the manufacturers of
the equipment and systems not included in the tests. As a result, ScanSource
believes its IT and voice and data communication systems are now Y2K compliant.

     Non-IT Systems. ScanSource has assessed the Y2K readiness of non-IT systems
such as intelligent office equipment used in a stand-alone mode including fax
machines, copiers and printers by obtaining certification from manufacturers
that these products are not impacted by the Y2K date transition or will continue
to operate on and after January 1, 2000, just as they did prior to such date.

     Third Party Interface. The Company has also surveyed and considered the
readiness of significant vendors and resellers with respect to their progress in
identifying and addressing Y2K issues. Substantially all vendors and resellers
have indicated to the Company an expectation to be Y2K compliant. However,
disruptions in the computer systems of the Company's vendors could impair the
ability of the Company to obtain necessary products or provide services to its
customers. Management has further addressed the issues of non-compliant and/or
non-responding vendors in its contingency and inventory planning.

     Contingency Planning and Risks. The Y2K Project Team has developed
contingency plans to address disruptions in the Company's business functions as
a result of Y2K issues and various other potential business interruptions. The
Company's contingency plan addresses alternative providers and processes to deal
with business interruptions that may be caused by internal system or third party
failure to be Y2K ready, to the extent it is possible. There can be no assurance
that the Company's systems will avoid all Y2K problems, that its current and
ongoing efforts will identify all such problems in its own computer systems or
those of its vendors or resellers in advance of their occurrence, or that the
Company will be able to successfully remedy any problems that are discovered.
The Company's operating results could be materially adversely affected if the
Company were to be held responsible for the failure of any products sold by it
to be Y2K ready, despite the Company's disclaimer of product warranties and the
limitation of liability contained in sales terms and conditions. The Company
continues to review potential or possible causes of loss and institute plans for
the mitigation of the same. In addition, the purchasing patterns of existing and
potential customers may be affected by Y2K problems, which could cause
fluctuations in the Company's sales volumes. Maintenance or modification costs
have been and will continue to be expensed as incurred.

     Products. The Company has informed its active customers by mail and all
customers by Internet web postings that it does not make any representations or
warranties that the products it distributes are or will be Y2K ready or
compliant. The Company has assisted its customers by making it easy for them to
learn about product readiness directly from manufacturers by publicizing the
manufacturer's web sites and telephone numbers.

                                       10



     Costs of Project. To date, the expenses of the Company's efforts to
identify and address potential Y2K problems have not exceeded $75,000 (excluding
costs of systems upgrades that would normally have been made on a similar
timetable) and anticipates that its total expenditures in this area will not
exceed $100,000. However, the expenses or liabilities to which the Company may
become subject as a result of any such problems that may arise could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations.

Forward Looking Statements

         Certain of the statements contained in this report to shareholders as
well as in the Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements subject
to the safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. The Company cautions readers of this report that a number of important
factors could cause the Company's activities and/or actual results in fiscal
2000 and beyond to differ materially from those expressed in any such
forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation, the
Company's dependence on vendors, product supply, senior management, centralized
functions, and third-party shippers, the Company's ability to compete
successfully in a highly competitive market and manage significant additions in
personnel and increases in working capital, the Company's entry into new
products markets in which it has no prior experience, the Company's
susceptibility to quarterly fluctuations in net sales and operations results,
the Company's ability to manage successfully price protection or stock rotation
opportunities associated with inventory value decreases, and other factors
described in other reports and documents filed by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
                             About Market Risk


         The Company is exposed to changes in financial market conditions in the
normal course of its business as a result of its selective use of bank debt as
well as transacting in Canadian currency in connection with its Canadian
operations.

         The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a
result of its borrowing activities, which includes a revolving credit facility
with a bank used to maintain liquidity and fund the Company's business
operations. The nature and amount of the Company's debt may vary as a result of
future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. The
definitive extent of the Company's interest rate risk is not quantifiable or
predictable because of the variability of future interest rates and business
financing requirements, but the Company does not believe such risk is material.
The Company does not currently use derivative instruments to adjust the
Company's interest rate risk profile.

         The table below presents principal amounts and related weighted average
rates by year of maturity for the Company's debt obligations at September 30,
1999:




(In thousands)             2000     2001    2002     2003     Thereafter      Total   Fair Value
                           ----     ----    ----     ----     ----------      -----   ----------
                                                                 
Long-term debt              19       26      29       31        1,587         1,692      1,856
Average interest
   rate (fixed)           9.19%    9.19%   9.19%    9.19%        9.19%         9.19%     9.19%


         The Company is exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates in
connection with its Canadian operations. It is the Company's policy to enter
into foreign currency transactions only to the extent considered necessary to
support its Canadian operations. The amount of the Company's cash deposits
denominated in Canadian currency has not been, and is not expected to be,
material. Furthermore, the Company has no capital expenditure or other purchase
commitments denominated in foreign currency. The Company does not utilize
forward exchange contracts, currency options or other traditional hedging
vehicles to adjust the Company's foreign exchange rate risk profile. The Company
does not enter into foreign currency transactions for speculative purposes.

         The Company does not utilize financial instruments for trading or other
speculative purposes, nor does it utilize leveraged financial instruments. On
the basis of the fair value of the Company's market sensitive instruments at
September 30, 1999, the Company does not consider the potential near-term losses
in future earnings, fair values and cash flows from reasonable possible
near-term changes in interest rates and exchange rates to be material.
