NOTES - Pioneer-Standard Electronics, Inc.

1. PER SHARE DATA

Net income per common share is computed using the weighted average common shares
and common share equivalents outstanding during the quarters ended June 30, 1996
and 1995. Common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon exercise of
stock options computed by using the treasury stock method.

2. STOCK SPLIT

On July 25, 1995, the Board of Directors declared a three-for-two stock split
effected in the form of a 50% share dividend of the Company's common shares
payable September 6, 1995 to shareholders of record August 16, 1995. The share
and per share data have been restated for the periods presented to reflect the
stock split.

3. MANAGEMENT OPINION

The information furnished herein reflects all normal and recurring adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement
of the results of operations for the quarters ended June 30, 1996 and 1995. The
results of operations for the three month period are not necessarily indicative
of results which may be expected for a full year.

                       PIONEER-STANDARD ELECTRONICS, INC.

                     Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Current assets increased by $47.4 million and current liabilities decreased by
$7.5 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 1996, resulting in an
increase of $54.8 million of working capital. The increase in working capital is
attributable to the increased level of business activity. The current ratio was
2.2:1 at June 30, 1996 compared with 1.9:1 at year-end, March 31, 1996.

During the first three months of the current year, total interest-bearing debt
increased by $56.5 million. The increase in debt is attributable to funding the
working capital and capital expenditure needs arising from an increased level of
business activity. The ratio of interest-bearing debt to capitalization was 61%
at June 30, 1996 compared with 56% at March 31, 1996.

A Form S-3 Registration Statement for $200 million of debt and/or equity related
securities filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission became effective
July 11, 1996. On August 12, 1996, the Company completed a public offering of
$150 million principal amount of 8.50% Senior Notes due 2006. The indenture
under which the notes were issued limits (i) the creation of liens, (ii) sale
and leaseback transactions, (iii) consolidations, mergers and transfers of all
or substantially all of the Company's assets, and (iv) indebtedness of the
Company's restricted subsidiaries. These limitations are subject to a number of
important qualifications and exceptions. In addition, the Notes are subject to
mandatory purchase by the Company at the option of the holders in the event of a
change of control of the Company. The indebtedness evidenced by the Notes rank
pari passu in right of payment with all other unsubordinated indebtedness of the
Company.

Net proceeds from the sale of the Notes were applied to the repayment of a
portion of the borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility. The
remainder of the revolving credit facility was repaid with the proceeds of
borrowings under a new revolving credit facility with four banks effective
August 12, 1996. The new revolving credit facility of $125 million has an
initial term of three years and replaces the former $200 million facility which
was due to expire in 1998. In addition, on an annual basis, the new facility may
be extended for a three-year period upon the Company's request, with the consent
of all members of the bank group. All or any portion of the outstanding loans
may be prepaid at any one time and the commitments may be terminated, in whole
or in part, at the Company's option with no prepayment penalty. Interest rates
on borrowings are based on various floating rate alternative pricing mechanisms.
There is a commitment fee on the unborrowed amount. The terms of the credit
facility provide for, among other things, restrictions regarding minimum working
capital requirements, limitations on other borrowings and capital expenditures
and the maintenance of certain financial ratios. At the close of business on
August 12, 1996, borrowings under the new facility totaled $53 million.

                                       6

The Company also has unsecured short-term lines of credit aggregating $40
million available for use. These lines, which may be withdrawn at the option of
the lenders, permit the Company to borrow at varying interest rates. There were
no borrowings under these lines as of August 12, 1996.

Effective July 2, 1996, the Company entered into a Share Subscription Agreement
and Trust with Wachovia Bank of North Carolina, N.A., as Trustee, pursuant to
which the Trustee subscribed for 5,000,000 Common Shares of the Company which
will be paid for over the 15 year term of the Trust. The proceeds from the sale
of the Common Shares will be used to fund Company obligations under various
employee benefit plans, to pay cash bonuses and other similar employee related
Company obligations. Under Ohio law, the subscribed for Common Shares are deemed
to be issued and outstanding for voting and dividend purposes, but will not be
fully paid and nonassessable until payment for such Common Shares is received as
provided in the Trust. According to generally accepted accounting principles,
none of the 5,000,000 Common Shares will be deemed outstanding for purposes of
calculating earnings per share until payment is received for the Common Shares
as provided in the Trust.

Management estimates that capital expenditures for the current year will
approximate $23 million ($2.6 million was expended in the first three months of
the current year). Under present business conditions, it is anticipated that
funds from current operations and available financial facilities will be
sufficient to finance both capital spending and working capital needs for the
balance of the current fiscal year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months ended June 30, 1996 Compared with
the Three Months ended June 30, 1995

Net sales for the three-month period ended June 30, 1996 of $375.2 million
increased 67% over sales of the prior year three-month period of $224.7 million.
The current quarter sales include the sales of Pioneer-Standard of Maryland,
Inc., the Company's former affiliate which Pioneer acquired in November, 1995.
The Company's net sales, excluding the newly acquired affiliate were $268.5
million, up 19% over the comparable period a year ago. The increase in net sales
reflect strong demand especially for computer systems products. Semiconductor
products accounted for 41% of the Company's sales in the current quarter,
compared with 34% a year ago. Computer systems products were 38% of sales in
1996 versus 40% last year. Passive and electromechanical products were 18% of
the Company's business in 1996 compared with 24% a year earlier. Miscellaneous
products accounted for 3% and 2% of sales in 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Cost of goods sold increased 71% compared with the prior year quarter, resulting
in a gross margin of 17.6% in the current quarter compared with 19.4% a year
ago. A shift in product mix was the principal factor impacting current year
margins.

Warehouse, selling and administrative expenses of $51.3 million increased by 65%
over the $31.1 million incurred during the prior year three-month period. This
resulted in a ratio of these expenses to sales of 13.7% for the current quarter
compared with 13.9% a year ago.


                                       7
   8

The operating profit resulting from the activity described above of $14.8
million, or 4.0% of sales in the current period was up 19% compared with $12.5
million, or 5.5% of sales a year ago.

Interest expense was $3.9 million in the current quarter compared with $1.4
million a year ago. The higher interest expense is due to increased debt
resulting from the purchase of the Company's former affiliate and to fund
working capital needs to support the growth of the business.

The consolidated statement of income for the current three month period includes
the operating results of the Pioneer Maryland. For the prior year three month
period ended June 30, 1995, results only included the Company's 50% equity
interest in Pioneer Maryland's earnings of $.5 million.

The effective tax rate for the current year three-month period was 43.6%
compared with 40.5% for the same period a year ago. The increase in the current
year rate is primarily attributable to the equity in earnings of the Company's
affiliate included in the prior year's pre-tax income.

Primarily as a result of the factors above, the Company's net income for the
three-month period ending June 30, 1996 of $6.2 million was $.6 million less
than the $6.8 million earned a year earlier.
