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 and
six-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. Common share equivalents
consist of shares issuable upon exercise of stock options computed by using the
treasury stock method.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for
a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the two quarters
ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
be expected for the full fiscal year. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1997.
3. ACCOUNTING CHANGES
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" (FAS 130), and Statement No. 131, "Disclosure about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" (FAS 131). FAS 130
establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and FAS 131 requires
reporting certain information about operating segments. These statements, which
must be adopted by the Company no later than fiscal year 1999, are not expected
to have a material effect on the financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Current assets increased by $89.6 million and current liabilities increased by
$ .2 million during the six-month period ended September 30, 1997, resulting in
an increase of $89.4 million in working capital. The increase in current assets
is primarily attributable to a $59.3 million increase in inventory and a $25.6
increase in accounts receivable arising primarily due to increased sales
levels. The current ratio was 2.9:1 at September 30, 1997 compared with 2.5:1
at year-end, March 31, 1997.
During the first six months of the current year, total interest-bearing debt
increased by $80.0 million. The increase in debt is attributable to funding
working capital and capital expenditures. The ratio of interest-bearing debt to
capitalization was 54% at September 30, 1997 compared with 48% at March 31,
1997.
On September 5, 1997 the Company completed the sale of 220,000 Common Shares
which were allocated from the Pioneer Stock Benefit Trust. The proceeds of $3.3
million were used to fund Company obligations under certain employee benefit
plans.
Management estimates that capital expenditures for the fiscal year 1998 will
approximate $28 million ($16.4 million was expended in the first six months of
the current year). Under present business conditions, it is anticipated that
funds from current operations and available credit 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 SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED WITH
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
Net sales for the three-month period ended September 30, 1997 of $431.3 million
increased 21% over sales of the prior year three-month period of $357.7
million. The increase in net sales reflects strong demand for computer products
which more than offset the sales comparisons experienced by the Company's two
other product lines, semiconductors and interconnect, passive and
electromechanical products. Semiconductor products accounted for 36% of the
Company's sales in the current quarter, compared with 42% a year ago. Computer
systems products represented 45% of sales in 1997 versus 37% last year.
Interconnect, passive and electromechanical products were 18% of the Company's
sales in 1997 and 1996. Miscellaneous products accounted for 1% and 3% of sales
in 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Cost of goods sold increased 20% compared with the prior year quarter,
resulting in a gross margin of 17.3% in the current quarter compared with 17.1%
a year ago.
Warehouse, selling and administrative expenses of $56.6 million increased by
17% over the $48.3 million incurred during the prior year three-month period.
This resulted in a ratio of these expenses to sales of 13.1% for the current
quarter compared with 13.5% a year ago, reflecting the Company's efforts to
reduce operating costs as a percentage of sales.
The operating profit resulting from the activity described above of $17.9
million, or 4.1% of sales in the current period increased 37% compared with
$13.0 million, or 3.6% of sales a year ago.
Interest expense was $5.0 million in the current quarter compared with $4.6
million a year ago. The higher interest expense is mainly attributable to
increased debt to fund working capital needs to support the ongoing growth
needs of the business.
The effective tax rate for the current year three-month period was 42.2%
compared with 45.9% for the same period a year ago.
Primarily as a result of the factors above, the Company's net income for the
three-month period ending September 30, 1997 of $7.5 million was $3.0 million
greater than the $4.5 million earned a year earlier.

SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED WITH
THE SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
Net sales for the sixth-month period ended September 30, 1997 of $827.5 million
were 13% greater than sales of the prior year six-month period of $732.8
million. The increase in net sales reflects a strong demand for computer
products which more than offset the sales comparisons experienced by the
Company's two other product lines, semiconductors and interconnect, passive and
electromechanical products. During the first six months of 1997, semiconductor
products accounted for 35% of the Company's sales compared with 42% in the
prior year. Computer systems products accounted for 45% of the Company's sales
in 1997 and 37% in 1996. Passive and electromechanical products accounted for
18% of the Company's sales in 1997 and 1996. Miscellaneous products accounted
for 2% of sales in both 1997 and 3% a year earlier.
The percentage increase in cost of goods sold of 13% resulted in a gross margin
of 17.3% in the first six months of the current year compared with 17.4% a year
ago.
Warehouse, selling and administrative expenses of $108.0 million increased by
8% as compared with the $99.6 million incurred during the prior year six-month
period. This resulted in a ratio of these expenses to sales of 13.1% for the
current six months compared with 13.6% a year ago, reflecting the Company's
efforts to reduce operating costs as a percentage of sales.
The operating profit resulting from the activity described above of $35.2
million in 1997 or 4.3% of sales increased 26% compared with $27.8 million or
3.8% of sales a year ago.
Interest expense was $9.3 million in the current six-month period compared with
$8.6 million a year ago. The higher interest expense is mainly attributable to
increased debt to fund working capital needs to support the ongoing growth
needs of the business.
The effective tax rate for the current six-month period was 42.9% compared with
44.6% a year ago.
Primarily as a result of the factors noted above, the Company's net income for
the six-month period ending September 30, 1997 of $14.8 million was $4.1
million greater than the 10.7 million earned a year ago.
