ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

         On May 24,  1999,  All American  Semiconductor,  Inc.  (the  "Company")
announced that the Company's Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of
up to $2 million in purchase price of the Company's common stock, $.01 par value
("Common Stock").  The stock repurchases may, at the discretion of the Company's
management, be made from time to time at prevailing prices in the open market or
through privately  negotiated  transactions.  The Company's management will base
its  decision  on market  conditions,  the price of the  Common  Stock and other
factors. The Company intends to make such stock repurchases using available cash
flow from operations and/or available borrowings under its credit facility.  Any
shares  of  Common  Stock  repurchased  will  be  available  for  reissuance  in
connection with the Company's  Employees',  Officers',  Directors'  Stock Option
Plan or for other corporate purposes.  Notwithstanding the adoption of the stock
repurchase  program,  there can be no assurance that the Company will repurchase
any or all of the Common Stock contemplated to be repurchased under such program
or as to the timing thereof.
