1 Exhibit (99.1) Page 1 of 8 BELL INDUSTRIES, INC. Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited) The following unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the sale of substantially all of the assets of Graphics as of the beginning of the earliest period presented for statement of income purposes and as of June 30, 1998 for balance sheet purposes. The pro forma information assumes net cash proceeds of $40 million from the sale. In accordance with the terms of the sale, the purchase price, less an estimate of the net book value of certain receivables, is payable in cash on the closing date. The balance is payable within 90 days of the closing date. The net cash proceeds will be used to reduce outstanding borrowings as required under Bell's credit facility. For statement of income purposes, it is assumed the net proceeds have been used to reduce outstanding borrowing as of January 1, 1997. Earlier periods reflect the elimination of Graphics to the continuing operations of Bell. The unaudited pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, as included in the Bell Industries, Inc., Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997. The pro forma information is presented for illustration purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have occurred if the sale of Graphics had been consummated in accordance with the assumptions described, nor is it indicative of future operating results or financial position of Bell. 2 Exhibit (99.1) Page 2 of 8 BELL INDUSTRIES, INC.
