1 Exhibit (99.1) Page 1 of 9 BELL INDUSTRIES, INC. Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited) The following unaudited pro forma financial statements give effect to the sale of EDG and distribution in an assumed amount of $55 million to shareholders. Therefore, such statements present pro forma financial information regarding Bell without EDG, and after the assumed distribution to shareholders. The pro forma balance sheet assumes that the sale of EDG and the distribution to shareholders occurred on September 30, 1998, while the pro forma statements of operations assume that the sale of EDG and the distribution to shareholders occurred on January 1, 1995. The pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of Bell included in the Bell Industries, Inc., Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997. The Company expects its corporate costs will be substantially lower following the sale of EDG, and it will endeavor to restructure its operations to realize these savings. The pro forma financial statements do not reflect such cost savings, nor those expected to be achieved following the sale of Bell's Graphics Imaging Group ("Graphics") on September 14, 1998. Accordingly, these pro forma operating results are not indicative of operating results which would have been achieved had the sale of EDG been consummated as of the dates presented and should not be construed as representative of future operations. 2 Exhibit (99.1) Page 2 of 9 BELL INDUSTRIES, INC.
