ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors and Stockholders:

     We have audited the accompanying  consolidated  balance sheets of Pentacon,
Inc. as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related  consolidated  statements
of operations,  stockholders'  equity and cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended  December  31,  2001.  These  financial  statements  are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance  with  auditing  standards  generally
accepted in the United States.  Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An
audit also includes  assessing the accounting  principles  used and  significant
estimates  made by  management,  as well as  evaluating  the  overall  financial
statement  presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable  basis
for our opinion.

     In our opinion,  the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Pentacon,  Inc.
at December 31, 2001 and 2000,  and the  consolidated  results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended  December 31,
2001, in conformity with accounting  principles generally accepted in the United
States.

     The  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  have been  prepared
assuming that  Pentacon,  Inc. will continue as a going  concern.  As more fully
described  in Note 3,  the  Company  has  incurred  an  operating  loss  and its
revolving  credit facility  matures on April 30, 2002.  These  conditions  raise
substantial  doubt about the Company's  ability to continue as a going  concern.
Management's  plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The
consolidated  financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the
possible future effects on the  recoverability  and  classification of assets or
the amounts and  classification  of liabilities that may result from the outcome
of this uncertainty.

                                                              ERNST & YOUNG LLP

                                 PENTACON, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     BASIS OF  PRESENTATION:  Pentacon,  Inc.  ("Pentacon" or the "Company") was
incorporated   in  March  1997.  On  March  10,  1998,   Pentacon  and  separate
wholly-owned subsidiaries acquired in separate transactions, simultaneously with
the closing of its initial public offering (the "Offering") of its common stock,
five businesses (the "Initial  Acquisitions"):  Alatec Products,  Inc. (Alatec),
AXS Solutions,  Inc., Capitol Bolt & Supply, Inc., Maumee Industries,  Inc., and
Sales Systems Limited, collectively referred to as the "Founding Companies." The
consideration  for the Initial  Acquisitions  consisted of a combination of cash
and common stock. Because (i) the stockholders of the Founding Companies owned a
majority of the  outstanding  shares of common stock  following the Offering and
the Initial  Acquisitions,  and (ii) the  stockholders  of Alatec  received  the
greatest number of shares of Pentacon,  Inc. common stock among the stockholders
of the Founding Companies, for financial statement presentation purposes, Alatec
was identified as the accounting  acquiror.  The  acquisitions  of the remaining
Founding  Companies were accounted for using the purchase  method of accounting.
Unless the context  otherwise  requires,  all  references  herein to the Company
include  Pentacon,  the Founding  Companies and  acquisitions  subsequent to the
Offering ("Subsequent Acquisitions").

     Pentacon  distributes  fasteners and other small parts and provides related
inventory management services primarily to customers in the United States.

     PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION:  The consolidated financial statements include
the  accounts  of  Pentacon,  Inc.  and  its  majority-owned  subsidiaries.  All
significant  intercompany  accounts and  transactions  have been  eliminated  in
consolidation.

     CASH EQUIVALENTS:  Cash equivalents  include highly liquid,  temporary cash
investments  having  original  maturity  dates of  three  months  or  less.  For
reporting  purposes,  cash equivalents are stated at cost plus accrued interest,
which approximates fair value.

     INVENTORIES:  Inventories  are stated at the lower of cost or market value,
cost being determined on a first-in, first-out basis.

     REVENUE RECOGNITION:  Revenues are recognized upon shipment of products or,
in the case of inventory management contracts, when the product is delivered to
the customer's production line. Revenues include freight billed to customers and
the related freight costs are recorded as cost of sales.

     CASH EQUIVALENTS: Short-term investments purchased with original maturities
of three months or less are considered cash equivalents.

     INVENTORIES: Inventories consist of products held for resale and are stated
at the  lower of cost,  determined  using the  first-in,  first-out  method,  or
market.

     INCOME TAXES:  The Company  recognizes  deferred tax assets and liabilities
for expected future tax  consequences of events that have been recognized in the
financial  statements or tax returns.  Deferred tax assets and  liabilities  are
determined based on the differences  between the financial  statements  carrying
amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities  using enacted tax rates and
laws in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.

     PROPERTY  AND  EQUIPMENT:   Property  and  equipment  is  stated  at  cost.
Depreciation  is provided over the estimated  useful lives of the related assets

                                        7


using primarily the  straight-line  method.  The amortization  expense on assets
acquired  under capital  leases is included with  depreciation  expense on owned
assets. Repairs and maintenance are charged to earnings as they are incurred.

     GOODWILL:  Goodwill is  amortized  over a period of 40 years.  The carrying
value of goodwill is reviewed if there are indications  that the goodwill may be
impaired. If this review indicates that the goodwill will not be recoverable, as
determined  based on  undiscounted  cash flows over the  remaining  amortization
periods,  the carrying  value of the goodwill  will be reduced by the  estimated
shortfall  in  discounted  cash flow.  At the time  goodwill  is  evaluated  for
impairment,  enterprise goodwill is also evaluated  utilizing  undiscounted cash
flows of the enterprise over the remaining life of the asset.

     USE OF ESTIMATES:  The  preparation  of financial  statements in conformity
with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the United States  requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and  liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial  statements  and the reported  amounts of revenues and
expenses  during the reporting  period.  Actual  results could differ from those
estimates.

     CONCENTRATION  OF CREDIT RISK: The Company  performs credit  evaluations of
its customers and generally does not require  collateral.  The Company maintains
an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the expected collectibility of all
accounts  receivable.  The allowance for doubtful  accounts and related activity
were not material at and for the years ended  December 31, 2001,  2000 and 1999.
One customer of the industrial  segment accounted for approximately 12%, 16% and
14% of  consolidated  revenues for the years ended  December 31, 2001,  2000 and
1999,  respectively.  Accounts  receivable  balances  related  to this  customer
represented  approximately  9% and 10% of total accounts  receivable at December
31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

     FAIR VALUE OF  FINANCIAL  INSTRUMENTS:  The  carrying  amounts of  accounts
receivable, prepaid expenses and accounts payable approximate fair values due to
the short-term  maturities of these instruments.  The Company's  publicly-traded
Senior  Subordinated  Notes had a fair value of $21.0  million at  December  31,
2001. The carrying value of the Company's  remaining debt facilities and capital
lease obligations  approximate fair value since the rates on such facilities are
variable,  based on current market or are at fixed rates currently  available to
the Company.

     COMMON STOCK BASED  COMPENSATION:  The Company  follows the intrinsic value
method of  accounting  for stock options and  performance-based  stock awards as
prescribed by Accounting  Principles  Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25),  ACCOUNTING
FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES.

     RISKS  AND  UNCERTAINTIES:  Certain  types  of  specialized  fasteners  are
available  from  only a limited  number  of  sources.  If those  sources  become
unavailable,  the Company  would not be able to continue to sell such  fasteners
unless the Company could locate an alternative supplier. The Company's inability
to supply  certain types of fasteners may adversely  affect the Company's  sales
and its relationship with the customers requiring such fasteners.

     RECENTLY  ISSUED  ACCOUNTING   STANDARDS:   In  June  1998,  the  Financial
Accounting  Standards  Board (FASB) issued  Statements  of Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE  FINANCIAL  INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING
ACTIVITIES  ("SFAS No.  133").  SFAS No. 133 requires  that all  derivatives  be
recognized as assets and liabilities and measured at fair value.  The accounting
for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the
derivative and the resulting  designation.  The Company adopted this standard in
the  quarter  ended March 31,  2001.  The  adoption  had no impact on net income
because of the Company's minimal use of derivatives.

     In June 2001, the FASB issues SFAS No. 141, "Business  Combinations".  SFAS
No. 141 establishes new standards for accounting and reporting  requirements for
business  combinations  and requires  that the purchase  method of accounting be
used for all business  combination  initiated  after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141
also requires that acquired intangible assets be recognized as assets apart from

                                        8


goodwill if they meet one of two specified criteria. Additionally, the statement
adds certain  disclosure  requirements  to those  required by APB 16,  including
disclosure  of  the  primary  reasons  for  the  business  combination  and  the
allocation  of the purchase  price paid to the assets  acquired and  liabilities
assumed by major balance sheet caption. This statement is required to be applied
to all business  combinations  initiated after June 30, 2001 and to all business
combinations  accounted  for using  the  purchase  method  for which the date of
acquisition is July 1, 2001 or later. Use of the pooling-of-interests  method is
prohibited. The adoption of SFAS No. 141 did not have an impact on the Company's
financial condition or results of operations.

     In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142,  "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets".  SFAS No. 142,  which must be applied to fiscal years  beginning  after
December  15,  2001,  modifies  the  accounting  and  reporting  of goodwill and
intangible  assets.  The  pronouncement  requires  entities to  discontinue  the
amortization of goodwill,  reallocate all existing  goodwill among its reporting
segments  based on criteria set by SFAS No. 142 and perform  initial  impairment
tests by applying a fair-value-based  analysis on the goodwill in each reporting
segment.  Any impairment at the initial adoption date shall be recognized as the
effect of a change in accounting principle.  Subsequent to the initial adoption,
goodwill  shall  be  tested  for  impairment  annually  or  more  frequently  if
circumstances indicate a possible impairment.

     Under SFAS No. 142,  entities are required to determine  the useful life of
other  intangible  assets and amortize  the value over the useful  life.  If the
useful life is determined to be indefinite,  no  amortization  will be recorded.
For  intangible  assets  recognized  prior to the  adoption of SFAS No. 142, the
useful life should be  reassessed.  Other  intangible  assets are required to be
tested for impairment in a manner similar to goodwill. At December 31, 2001, the
Company's net goodwill was approximately $125.9 million, and annual amortization
of such goodwill was  approximately  $3.5 million.  The Company expects to adopt
SFAS No.  142  during  its first  quarter  of 2002.  The  Company  believes  the
impairment  charge upon adoption will be material,  and based on current  market
capitalization  could equate to a substantial  amount of its recorded  goodwill.
The Company  does not believe this  adoption  will impact its free cash flows or
its operating income.

     In  August  2001,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  No.  144,  "Accounting  for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived  Assets." SFAS No. 144 supercedes  SFAS No.
121,  "Accounting  for the  Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed of". SFAS No. 144  establishes a single  accounting  model
for  long-lived  assets  to be  disposed  of by sale  and  requires  that  those
long-lived assets be measured as the lower of carrying amount or fair value less
cost to sell,  whether  reported in  continuing  operations  or in  discontinued
operations.  SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15,  2001.  The  Company is in the  process  of  assessing  the impact  that the
adoption of this  standard  will have on its  financial  position and results of
operations.

2. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES

     In the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company  initiated a plan to restructure
its business operations. In addition, the Company conducted an assessment of its
business in the aerospace and telecommunication industries in view of the impact
of  recent  events,  most  notably  the  September  11th  events in New York and
Washington,  D.C.  and  the  financial  difficulties  in the  telecommunications
industry.  The Company expects  decreases in revenues in the aerospace  industry
and  continued  softness  in the  telecommunications  sector.  As a result,  the
Company  recorded  restructuring  and other charges of $47,650,000 in the fourth
quarter of 2001.

     Included  in   restructuring   and  other  charges  are  charges   totaling
$39,053,000 for the write-off of inventory.  Of that total,  $33,430,000 related
to noncash  write-offs of excess aerospace and  telecommunications  inventory in
the fourth quarter based upon a review of the anticipated  reduced future demand
for the  inventory  resulting  from  decreased  usage levels in the  quarter.  A
$5,623,000  noncash  charge was  recognized  in the second  quarter of 2001 as a
result of  offering  $9,762,000  of slower  moving  inventory  at  substantially
reduced prices in order to take advantage of the cashflows and tax benefits.

     As announced in November 2001, the Company implemented a restructuring plan
to reduce annual operating  expenses.  The Company is closing five  distribution
facilities and has reduced its workforce by 86 employees,  the majority of which
were terminated prior to December 31, 2001. These employees encompass all levels
of  the  organization  from  executives  to  warehouse  employees.  The  Company
recognized a $2,620,000  charge in the fourth quarter relating to implementation
of the plan.  In the second  quarter of 2001,  the  Company  recorded a $967,000
charge  for the  relocation  of its  corporate  office  from  Houston,  Texas to
Chatsworth,  California  and a  $345,000  charge  for  cost  initiatives  in the
Industrial Group.

     The Company has engaged advisors to assist in restructuring efforts and has
incurred costs with respect to  professionals  engaged by potential  lenders and
investors in connection with due diligence.  The Company recognized $966,000 for
those fees in the fourth quarter of 2001.

     In connection  with the amendment of the Company's bank credit  facility in
October  2001,  unamortized  debt  issuance  costs of  $633,000  relating to the
previous facility were written-off.

     As a result of the charges recorded in the fourth quarter,  the realization
of  recorded  deferred  tax  assets  is not  assured.  The  Company  recorded  a
$10,001,000  valuation  allowance  related to deferred  tax assets in the fourth
quarter of 2001.

     During  the  year  ended  December  31,  1999,   the  Company   incurred  a
non-recurring  charge of $632,000 related to a workforce reduction in one of the
Company's industrial segment distribution centers.

3. MANAGEMENT'S PLAN

     The Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December
31, 2001 have been prepared on a going concern  basis,  which  contemplates  the
realization of assets and the  satisfaction  of liabilities in the normal course
of  business.  The Company has incurred a net loss of  $52,476,000  for the year
ended  December 31, 2001 and the  Company's  credit  facility  (the "Bank Credit
Facility")  matures on April 30, 2002. These conditions raise  substantial doubt
about the Company's  ability to continue as a going  concern.  The  consolidated
financial  statements  do not include any  adjustments  that may result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

     A  substantial  portion of the  Company's  business  involves  sales to the
aerospace  industry.  Primarily as a result of the September  11th events in New
York and Washington,  D.C., aerospace  manufacturers have substantially  reduced
their business, resulting in decreased business for the Company.

     The Company is highly  leveraged and has outstanding $100 million of Senior
Subordinated  Notes due 2009 (the  "Notes")  and  approximately  $60  million of
senior  secured  indebtedness  under the  Company's  Bank Credit  Facility.  The
downturn in the Company's  business  since  September  11th has made it unlikely
that it will be able to repay this indebtedness in accordance with its terms.

     The Company has taken a number of steps during the year ended  December 31,
2001 to reduce costs. On April 25, 2001, the Company hired a new Chief Executive
Officer and subsequently  replaced four of its executive  officers.  The Company
reduced its workforce by 14% and closed five  facilities  which are estimated to
result in future cost savings of $10 million in 2002.  In addition,  the Company
restructured  the manner in which it  purchases  its  inventory  in an effort to
increase its annual  inventory  turns.  The Company also evaluated its inventory
for  excess   inventory,   primarily  in  the  aerospace   group,   taking  into
consideration  the downturn in business  resulting  from the events of September
11th and the number of older aircraft that have been taken out of use, resulting
in an aerospace inventory  write-down of $ 31.7 million in the fourth quarter of
2001.

     While  the steps  taken by the  Company  will  improve  its 2002  operating
results, the Company's level of indebtedness  combined with restrictions imposed
on the use of the  Company's  credit  facility  have resulted in debt service in
excess of that which can be serviced by the Company's  current  operations.  The
Company has entered into negotiations with its lenders, holders of its Notes and
other sources of capital to restructure  its  indebtedness.  Although no binding
agreements or commitments  have been received,  the Company  anticipates  that a
restructuring  will  involve a reduction in the amount of  indebtedness  owed to
holders of the Notes in  exchange  for common  stock (or a security  convertible
into common  stock).  The Company is also  negotiating  with its senior  lenders
under  its Bank  Credit  Facility  to extend  the  maturity  of its Bank  Credit
Facility. In addition, the Company is in discussions regarding other alternative
transactions,  including a sale of the Company's business. It is likely that any
restructuring  or other  alternative  will  result in  substantial  dilution  to
current holders of our common stock and a change in control of the Company.

     The Company believes that its improved ongoing  operating  performance will
enable it to  successfully  restructure  its  indebtedness,  without  materially
impacting  its  operations,  to a level that can be  adequately  serviced by its
current and anticipated future operations.  However,  these negotiations involve
numerous parties with different interests. Additionally, the events of September
11th  continue to affect the aerospace  industry  making it difficult to project
future  results,  and therefore  more difficult to attract  equity  capital.  No
assurances  can be given  that one or more of these  factors  will  prevent  the
Company from  successfully  restructuring  its  indebtedness and continuing as a
going concern.

     The  Company's  lenders  under its Bank Credit  Facility  have notified the
Company that the Company is in default  under certain  covenants  under the Bank
Credit  Facility  that  would  give the  lenders  the  right to  accelerate  the
indebtedness  under the Bank Credit  Facility and declare it immediately due and
payable.  The Company and the senior  lenders have  entered  into a  forbearance
agreement in which the senior lenders agree not to exercise their remedies under
the Bank  Credit  Facility  and to  continue  lending to the  Company  under the
facility until April 26, 2002. In addition,  the scheduled interest payment date
for the  Company's  Notes is April 1, 2002.  The Company does not expect to make
the interest payment on that date. The indenture for the Notes provides a 30-day
grace period.  If the failure to pay interest  continues for 30 days,  the Notes
will be in default,  and the  holders of the Notes may,  subject to the terms of
the indenture, declare all interest and principal immediately due and payable. A
default under the Notes will also be a default  under the Company's  Bank Credit
Facility. If the Company is unable to successfully restructure its indebtedness,
it may be required to seek protection under the bankruptcy laws.

     In March 1999,  the Company  sold $100  million of Notes due April 1, 2009.
The net proceeds of $94.2 million,  after the original issue discount and paying
underwriter's  commissions,  from the  offering  of the Notes were used to repay
indebtedness under the Company's Bank Credit Facility. The Notes accrue interest

                                       12


at 12.25% which is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year.  The Notes are
publicly-registered   and   subordinated  to  all  existing  and  future  senior
subordinated obligations and will rank senior to all subordinated  indebtedness.
The indenture  governing the Notes  contains  covenants that limit the Company's
ability to incur additional  indebtedness,  pay dividends,  make investments and
sell  assets.  At  December  31, 2001 the  Company  was in  compliance  with the
covenants.  Each of the Company's  subsidiaries,  which are wholly owned, fully,
unconditionally  and  jointly  and  severally  guarantees  the Notes on a senior
subordinated  basis.  Separate  financial  statements of the  guarantors are not
presented  because  management has determined that they would not be material to
investors.

     Effective  October 30,  2001,  the Company  amended its $100  million  Bank
Credit  Facility.  The Bank  Credit  Facility  is  subject to a  borrowing  base
limitation  and  secured by Company  stock and assets.  Advances  under the Bank
Credit  Facility  bear  interest at the banks' prime rate plus 100 basis points.
Commitment  fees of 25 to 37.5 basis  points per annum are payable on the unused
portion of the line of credit. The Bank Credit Facility contains a provision for
standby letters of credit up to $20 million.  The Bank Credit Facility prohibits
the payment of dividends by the Company,  restricts the  Company's  incurring or
assuming  other  indebtedness  and  requires  the Company to comply with certain
financial  covenants.  The  financial  covenants  include:  (1) minimum  monthly
availability  requirements,  beginning  at $6.5  million on October 31, 2001 and
increasing  periodically  thereafter  up to $9.5  million on March 1, 2002;  (2)
monthly EBITDA minimums  through  February 28, 2002; (3) maximum gross inventory
that the Company may have at the end of each calendar month through February 28,
2002;  and (4) a tangible net worth  requirement.  In  addition,  the Company is
required to complete an inventory appraisal by January 15, 2002. At December 31,
2001, the Company had approximately  $9.9 million of availability  ($6.5 million
of  availability  is required)  under the  facility.  Borrowings  under the Bank
Credit  Facility are classified as current  liabilities in accordance  with EITF
95-22 BALANCE SHEET  CLASSIFICATION  OF BORROWINGS  OUTSTANDING  UNDER REVOLVING
CREDIT  AGREEMENTS  THAT  INCLUDE BOTH A  SUBJECTIVE  ACCELERATION  CLAUSE AND A
LOCK-BOX   ARRANGEMENT.   The  weighted-average   interest  rate  on  short-term
borrowings  outstanding  was  6.59%  and 8.10% at  December  31,  2001 and 2000,
respectively.  In March 2002,  the Company  amended its Bank Credit  Facility to
reduce the  facility to $65 million  and change the term to April 30,  2002.  In
addition,  the Company entered into a forbearance  agreement with respect to the
default  on the  tangible  net  worth  covenant  of the  facility  caused by the
restructuring and other charges described in Note 2.

     In connection  with the amendment of the Company's Bank Credit  Facility in
October  2001,  unamortized  debt  issuance  costs of  $633,000  related  to the
previous  facility were  written-off.  In  connection  with the amendment of and
reduction  in the Bank Credit  Facility and issuance of the Notes in March 1999,
the Company  recorded a  $2,308,000  noncash  charge for the  write-off  of debt
issuance costs.

     Maturities of long-term debt (excluding  capital leases) for the five years
subsequent to December 31, 2001 are $60,242,000,  $94,000,  $51,000,  $0 and $0,
respectively.

     The  Company  leases  a  portion  of  its  buildings  and  equipment  under
non-cancelable capital and operating leases. Future minimum lease payments under
the capital and  operating  leases,  together  with the present value of the net
minimum lease payments, as of December 31, 2001 are as follows:

6. INCOME TAXES

     Deferred  tax  liabilities  and  assets  at the  end  of  each  period  are
determined  based on the future tax  consequences  attributable  to  differences
between  the  financial  statement  carrying  amounts  of  existing  assets  and
liabilities and their respective tax bases, using the tax rate expected to be in
effect  when the  taxes are  actually  paid or  recovered.  The  measurement  of
deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance.  For the
year ended  December  31,  2001,  the  Company  recorded a  valuation  allowance
relating to its net deferred tax assets.

     Components of income tax expense (benefit) are as follows:

7. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

     The computation of net income (loss) per share for the years ended December
31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 is based on the weighted  average shares of common stock
outstanding   during  the  years  ended  December  31,  2001,   2000  and  1999,
respectively.

     Basic and  diluted  net income  (loss) per share is  computed  based on the

     Options and warrants to purchase 1,220,218, 976,228 and 1,192,225 shares of
common stock were not  included in the diluted net income per share  calculation
for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively,  because the
exercise price was greater that the average market price.

8. STOCK OPTION PLAN

     The Board of Directors  has adopted,  and the  stockholders  of the Company
have approved,  the Pentacon,  Inc. 1998 Stock Plan (the "1998 Stock Plan"). The
aggregate  amount of common stock with respect to which  options or other awards
may be granted may not exceed  2,550,000  shares.  As of December 31, 2001,  the
Company had granted  options and other  awards for a total of  1,227,468  shares
under the 1998 Stock Plan.

     The 1998 Stock Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee, which is
composed of non-employee  directors (the  "Committee").  Subject to the terms of
the 1998 Stock Plan, the Committee  generally  determines to whom awards will be
granted and the terms and  conditions of these awards.  Awards granted under the
1998 Stock Plan may be non-qualified  stock options, or may qualify as incentive
stock options ("ISOs"),  restricted stock grants or other awards. In the case of
ISOs,  the  aggregate  fair  market  value  (determined  at the  time the ISO is
granted) of the common stock with respect to which ISOs are  exercisable for the
first  time by any  employee  during  any  calendar  year under all plans of the
Company and any parent or subsidiary  corporation shall not exceed $100,000.  No
employee or  consultant  may receive an option in any year to purchase more than
250,000 shares of common stock.

     The Committee  determines the period over which options become exercisable,
provided  that all  options  become  immediately  exercisable  upon death of the
grantee or upon a change-in-control of the Company.

     The 1998 Stock Plan also provides for automatic  option grants to directors
who  are  not  otherwise  employed  by the  Company  or its  subsidiaries.  Upon
commencement  of service,  a non-employee  director will receive a non-qualified
option to purchase  15,000 shares of common stock,  and continuing  non-employee
directors  annually  will  receive  options to purchase  5,000  shares of common
stock. Options granted to non-employee directors are immediately  exercisable in
full and have a term of ten years.

     Upon  exercise of a  non-qualified  option,  the  optionee  generally  will
recognize  ordinary  income in the amount of the "option spread" (the difference
between the market  value of the option  shares at the time of exercise  and the
exercise price),  and the Company is generally  entitled to a corresponding  tax
deduction (subject to certain withholding requirements).  When an optionee sells
shares issued upon the exercise of a  non-qualified  stock option,  the optionee
realizes a short-term or long-term gain or loss,  depending on the length of the
holding  period,  but  the  Company  is not  entitled  to any tax  deduction  in
connection with such sale.

     The Company  applies APB 25 in  accounting  for the Plan.  Accordingly,  no
compensation cost has been recognized for its fixed stock option plan. Pro forma
information  regarding  net income and  earnings per common share is required by
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION  ("SFAS No. 123") as if the Company had  accounted for its employee
stock options under the fair value method of that  statement.  The fair value of
these  options was estimated at the date of grant using a  Black-Scholes  option
pricing  ("Black-Scholes") model with the following weighted average assumptions
for 2001,  2000 and 1999  respectively:  (i)  risk-free  interest rate of 5.03%,
5.03% and 6.34%, (ii) a dividend yield of 0.00%, (iii) volatility factors of the
historical  market price of the  Company's  common stock of 141.4%,  84.6%,  and
75.7%, respectively and (iv) a weighted average expected life of 10 years.

     The Black-Scholes  model was developed for use in estimating the fair value
of traded options that have no vesting  restrictions and are fully transferable.
In addition,  option  valuation  models  require the input of highly  subjective
assumptions,  including the expected volatility.  Because the Company's employee
stock options have characteristics  significantly different from those of traded
options and because changes in the subjective  input  assumptions can materially
affect the fair value estimate,  in management's opinion, the existing models do
not  necessarily  provide a  reliable  single  measure  of the fair value of its
employee stock options.

     For  purposes  of pro forma  disclosure,  the  estimated  fair value of the
options is amortized to expense  over the vesting  period of the stock  options.
Had compensation for the Company's stock-based compensation plan been determined
based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the Plan  consistent
with the method of SFAS 123, the Company's net income (loss) and earnings (loss)
per common  share would have been  adjusted to the pro forma  amounts  indicated
below:

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Company is involved in various  legal  proceedings  that have arisen in
the ordinary course of business. While it is not possible to predict the outcome
of such  proceedings  with  certainty,  in the opinion of the Company,  all such
proceedings  are either  adequately  covered by insurance or, if not so covered,
should  not  ultimately  result in any  liability  which  would  have a material
adverse effect on the financial position,  liquidity or results of operations of
the Company.

13. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The Company purchased  $2,050,000,  $1,415,000 and $1,243,000,  of products

supplier  which is 50% owned by a shareholder  The Company had sales of $75,000,
$3,841,000  and  $5,387,000,  of products for the years ended December 31, 2001,

14. INDUSTRY SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

INDUSTRY SEGMENTS

     The Company has two principal operating  segments:  the Aerospace Group and
the Industrial  Group.  The Aerospace Group serves the aerospace and aeronautics
industries  and  the  Industrial   Group  serves  a  broad  base  of  industrial
manufacturers  producing  items  such  as  diesel  engines,  locomotives,  power
turbines, motorcycles, telecommunications equipment and refrigeration equipment.

                                       19


     The  performance  of  businesses  is  evaluated  at the  segment  level and
resources are allocated between the segments. The Pentacon executive responsible
for each segment further  allocates  resources among the various operating units
that compose the segment.  The accounting  policies of the segments are the same
as those described in the summary of significant  accounting policies in Note 1.
Pentacon, Inc. manages cash, debt and income taxes centrally.  Accordingly,  the
Company  evaluates  performance of its segments and operating units based on the
operating  earnings  exclusive of financing  activities  and income  taxes.  The
segments are managed  separately  since each segment  distributes  to industries
requiring  different asset allocation  characteristics.  Intersegment  sales and
related receivables for each of the years presented were insignificant.

     Financial information by industry segment follows:

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENT (UNAUDITED)

     The Job  Creation  and Workers Act of 2002 ("the Act") was enacted in March
2002. The Act provided that net operating  loss  carryback  claims for the years
ended December 31, 2001 and 2002 are extended from two years to five years. As a
result,  the  Company  will be able to  carryback  its  $5,696,000  tax loss and
realize  approximately  $1,659,000 of additional income tax refunds. The related
benefit will be recorded in the first quarter of 2002.

                                 PENTACON, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 30, 2002
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The  consolidated  financial  statements of Pentacon,  Inc. (the "Company")
included  herein  have been  prepared  without  audit  pursuant to the Rules and
Regulations  for reporting on Form 10-Q.  Accordingly,  certain  information and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial   statements  are  not  included  herein.  The  Company  believes  all
adjustments  necessary for a fair  presentation  of these  statements  have been
included and are of a normal and recurring nature. There has been no significant
change in the accounting  policies of the Company during the periods  presented,
with the exception of the adoption of the  provisions  of bankruptcy  accounting
described below and the new accounting  pronouncement on accounting for goodwill
described  in Note 2. The  statements  should  be read in  conjunction  with the
financial  statements and related notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

     The balance  sheet at December  31, 2001 has been  derived from the audited
financial  statements  at that date but does not include all of the  information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting  principles for complete
financial statements.

     On May  23,  2002,  the  Company  and  certain  of its  subsidiaries  filed
voluntary  petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy
Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas.
A substantial  portion of the Company's business involves sales to the aerospace
industry.  Primarily  as a result of the  September  11th events in New York and
Washington D.C., aerospace  manufacturers  substantially reduced their business,
resulting in decreased  business for the  Company.  In addition,  the  Company's
senior lenders had imposed  restrictions on the Company's  credit  availability.
The downturn in the Company's  business  since  September 11th combined with the
decrease in credit  availability  resulted in the Company  being unable to repay
its debts in  accordance  with  stated  terms.  Therefore,  the  Company  sought
protection  under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy  Code.  Also on May 23, 2002, the
Company  entered into an agreement  to sell  substantially  all of its assets to
Anixter International, Inc. ("Anixter"). Under the agreement, Anixter has agreed
to assume all pre and post petition trade accounts payable.  The sale to Anixter
and the Company's  Plan of  Reorganization  have the support of the holders of a
majority of the  Company's  12.25% Senior  Subordinated  Notes (the "Notes") due
April 1, 2009 and the committee of its unsecured creditors.  In addition,  as of
May 23,  2002,  the Company  entered into a $60.5  million  debtor-in-possession
credit  facility (the "Credit  Facility") with its existing bank group (see Note
4).

     Prior to the bankruptcy  filing,  the Company did not make the $6.1 million
interest payment due April 1, 2002 under the terms of the Company's Notes. As of
May  23,  2002,  the  Company  discontinued  accruing  interest  on  the  Notes.
Contractual  interest on the Notes for the quarter  ended June 30, 2002 was $3.1
million,  which is $1.4 million in excess of recorded  interest expense included
in the accompanying financial statements.

     The Company is in possession of its  properties and assets and continues to
manage its business as a debtor-in-possession  subject to the supervision of the
Bankruptcy Court. Pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, all actions
to collect upon any of the Company's  liabilities  as of the petition date or to
enforce  pre-petition  date contractual  obligations,  including the Notes, were
automatically  stayed. Absent approval from the Bankruptcy Court, the Company is
prohibited from paying pre-petition  obligations.  However, the Bankruptcy Court
has approved payment of certain pre-petition  liabilities such as employee wages
and benefits  and certain  other  pre-petition  obligations.  Additionally,  the
Bankruptcy   Court  has   approved  the   retention   of  legal  and   financial
professionals. As a debtor-in-possession,  the Company has the right, subject to
Bankruptcy Court approval and certain other conditions,  to assume or reject any
pre-petition  executory contracts and unexpired leases. Parties affected by such
rejections  may  file  claims  with the  Bankruptcy  Court  in  accordance  with
bankruptcy procedures.

                                       25

     Although the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy  filing raises  substantial  doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, the accompanying financial
statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. This basis  contemplates
the  continuity  of  operations,   realization  of  assets,   and  discharge  of
liabilities in the ordinary course of business.  The statements also present the
assets of the Company at  historical  cost and the current  intention  that they
will be realized as a going  concern and in the normal  course of business.  The
Plan of Reorganization  could materially change the amounts currently  disclosed
in the financial statements.

     The accompanying  financial  statements do not present the amount which may
ultimately be paid to settle liabilities and contingencies  which may be allowed
in the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy cases.  Under Chapter 11 Bankruptcy,  the right of,
and  ultimate   payment  by  the  Company  to  pre-petition   creditors  may  be
substantially  altered. This could result in claims being paid in the Chapter 11
Bankruptcy  proceedings  at less  (and  possibly  substantially  less)  than 100
percent of their face value.  At this time,  because of material  uncertainties,
pre-petition  claims are  carried at face  value in the  accompanying  financial
statements. Under the Bankruptcy Code, the Company may elect to assume or reject
real estate leases,  employment  contracts,  personal  property leases,  service
contracts  and other  executory  pre-petition  contracts,  subject to Bankruptcy
Court review. The Company cannot presently  determine or reasonably estimate the
ultimate  liability  that may result from claims  filed as a result of rejecting
leases  and  contracts,  and no  provisions  have  been  made for  these  items.
Moreover,  the interests of existing  shareholders could, among other things, be
very  substantially  diluted or even eliminated.  Further  information about the
financial  impact of the  Chapter 11  Bankruptcy  filing is set forth in item 2,
Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations.

     On September 9, 2002 the United  States  Bankruptcy  Court for the Southern
District  of  Texas  issued  an  order   confirming   the   Company's   Plan  of
Reorganization  which  included the sale of  substantially  all of its assets to
Anixter.  On September 20, 2002  substantially  all of the Company's assets were
sold to Anixter for $108.2 million. Additionally, Anixter assumed pre-bankruptcy
liabilities  totaling $16.5 million, and Anixter hired the existing employees of
the Company and assumed the lease obligations of certain operating facilities.

     Bankruptcy Accounting: Since the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy filings, the Company
has applied the  provisions  in  Statement of Position  ("SOP") 90-7  "Financial
Reporting by Entities in  Reorganization  Under the  Bankruptcy  Code." SOP 97-1
does not change the application of generally accepted  accounting  principles in
the  preparation  of  financial  statements.  However,  it does require that the
financial  statements for periods including and subsequent to filing the Chapter
11 petition  distinguish  transactions  and events that are directly  associated
with the  reorganization  from  the  ongoing  operations  of the  business.  The
financial statements include  reclassifications  made to reflect the liabilities
which have been  deferred  under the  Chapter  11  proceedings  as  "Liabilities
Subject to Compromise".

     Recently  Issued  Accounting  Standards:  In  August  2001,  the  Financial
Accounting  Standards Board issued Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards
("SFAS")  No. 144,  "Accounting  for the  Impairment  or Disposal of  Long-Lived
Assets". SFAS No. 144 supercedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to be Disposed  of". SFAS No. 144
establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by
sale and  requires  that those  long-lived  assets be  measured  at the lower of
carrying  amount or fair  value  less cost to sell.  The  Company  adopted  this
standard in the quarter ended March 31, 2002.  The adoption had no impact on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

                                       26

2. GOODWILL

     Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142,  "Goodwill and
Other  Intangible  Assets,"  which  establishes  new  accounting  and  reporting
requirements for goodwill and other intangible  assets.  Under SFAS No. 142, all
goodwill  amortization ceased effective January 1, 2002.  Goodwill  amortization
for the quarter and six months  ended June 30,  2002 would have  otherwise  been
$864,000 and $1,728,000, respectively. Recorded goodwill attributable to each of
the Company's  reporting  units were tested for impairment by comparing the fair
value of each reporting unit with its carrying value.  Fair value was determined
using discounted cash flows, market multiples and market  capitalization.  These
impairment  tests are required to be performed upon adoption of SFAS No. 142 and
at least annually thereafter.

     Significant  estimates  used in the impairment  tests include  estimates of
future cash flows,  future  short-term  and  long-term  growth  rates,  weighted
average  cost of  capital  and  estimates  of market  multiples  for each of the
reportable  units. On an ongoing basis (absent any impairment  indicators),  the
Company expects to perform its impairment tests during the fourth quarter.

     Based on its initial  impairment tests, the Company  recognized a charge of
$88,804,000  ($5.24  per  share) in the  first  quarter  of 2002 to  reduce  the
carrying  value of goodwill of each of its  reporting  units to the implied fair
value. This impairment is a result of adopting a fair value approach, under SFAS
No. 142, to testing  impairment  of goodwill as compared to the previous  method
utilized  in which  evaluations  of  goodwill  impairment  were  made  using the
estimated  future  undiscounted  cash flows  compared  to the  assets'  carrying
amount. Under SFAS No. 142, the impairment  adjustment recognized at adoption of
the new rules  was  reflected  as a  cumulative  effect of change in  accounting
principle  in  the  first  quarter  2002  statement  of  operations.  Impairment
adjustments  recognized  after  adoption,  if any,  generally are required to be
recognized as operating expenses.

     The carrying amount of goodwill  attributable to each reportable  operating
unit with goodwill balances and changes therein follows:

                                  January 1,      Impairment        June 30,

3. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES

     In November 2001, the Company  implemented a  restructuring  plan to reduce
annual operating expenses.  The Company closed five distribution  facilities and
implemented   workforce   reductions.   The  Company   recognized  a  $2,620,000
restructuring  charge in the fourth quarter  relating to  implementation  of the
plan.  In  the  second  quarter  of  2001,  the  Company   recorded  a  $967,000
restructuring  charge for the  relocation of its corporate  office from Houston,
Texas to  Chatsworth,  California and a $345,000  restructuring  charge for cost
reduction initiatives in the industrial group.

                                       27

     Below is the  activity  related  to the  restructuring  charges  recognized
during the six months ended June 30, 2002 (amounts in thousands):

(1) The noncash activity relates to the write-off of leasehold improvements.

     The Company  recognized  charges totaling  $39,053,000 for the write-off of
excess inventory during the year ended December 31, 2001. The noncash write-offs
of excess aerospace and telecommunications  inventory were recorded based upon a
review of the anticipated reduced future demand for the inventory resulting from
decreased usage levels. In addition, certain aerospace inventory was disposed of
during the year ended December 31, 2001 in order to take advantage of cash flows
and tax benefits.  At December 31, 2001, the remaining allowance for this excess
inventory  was  $36,066,000.  During the six months  ended  June 30,  2002,  the
Company  recognized  $300,000 as a result of disposing of the inventory to which
the allowance related.

4. DEBT

     In March 1999,  the Company  sold $100  million of Notes due April 1, 2009.
The net proceeds of $94.2 million,  after the original issue discount and paying
underwriter's  commissions,  were used to repay indebtedness under the Company's
Credit Facility.  The Notes accrue interest at 12.25% per annum which is payable
on April 1 and  October 1 of each year.  The Notes are  publicly-registered  and
subordinated to all existing and future senior subordinated obligations and will
rank senior to all subordinated indebtedness.  The indenture governing the Notes
contains  covenants  that  limit  the  Company's  ability  to  incur  additional
indebtedness,  pay  dividends,  make  investments  and sell assets.  Each of the
Company's  subsidiaries,  which are wholly  owned,  fully,  unconditionally  and
jointly and severally guarantees the Notes on a senior subordinated basis.

     The  Company  did not make the  interest  payment on the Notes due April 1,
2002 and, as a result,  was not in  compliance  with the  covenants.  On May 23,
2002, the Company amended the Restructuring  Agreement with certain holders of a
majority  of the Notes  whereby  the  noteholders  agreed to support the sale of
substantially  all the  Company's  assets to Anixter and the  Company's  Plan of
Reorganization  in lieu of finalizing  the  transaction  wherein the Company had
agreed with the holders to effect a recapitalization of the Company.

     As of May 23, 2002, the Company entered into a debtor-in-possession  Credit
Facility.  The $60.5  million  Credit  Facility is subject to a  borrowing  base
limitation  and  secured by Company  stock and assets.  Advances  under the Bank
Credit  Facility  bear  interest at the banks' prime rate plus 175 basis points.
The Credit  Facility  contains a provision  for standby  letters of credit up to
$2.5  million.  The Credit  Facility  prohibits  the payment of dividends by the
Company,  restricts the Company's  incurring or assuming other  indebtedness and
requires the Company to comply with  certain  financial  covenants.  At June 30,
2002,  the Company was in compliance  with the  covenants and had  approximately
$9.9 million of availability under the facility.

5. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

     Basic and  diluted  net income  (loss) per share is  computed  based on the
following information:

     Options to purchase  1,018,396,  1,195,218,  and 1,175,218 shares of common
stock were not included in the diluted net income per share  calculation for the
three and six months ended June 30,  2002,  three months ended June 30, 2001 and
six months ended June 30, 2001,  respectively,  because the exercise prices were
greater than the average market price.

6. INCOME TAXES

     The Job Creation and Workers Act, which was enacted in March 2002, provides
that net operating loss  carryback  claims for the years ended December 31, 2001
and 2002 are extended from two years to five years. As a result, the Company can
carryback its  $5,696,000 tax loss carryover as of December 31, 2001 and realize
$1,659,000 of additional income tax refunds. The related benefit was recorded in
the quarter  ended March 31, 2002.  The Company  recorded a valuation  allowance
against the tax benefit which results from the loss in the six months ended June
30, 2002 since realization of the benefit is not assured.

     For the six months  ended June 30,  2001,  the  provision  for income taxes
included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations assumes the application of
statutory  federal  and state  income  tax rates  and the  non-deductibility  of
goodwill amortization.

     Interim  period income tax  provisions  are based upon  estimates of annual
effective tax rates and events may occur which will cause such rates to vary.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Company is involved in various  legal  proceedings  that have arisen in
the ordinary course of business. While it is not possible to predict the outcome
of such  proceedings  with  certainty,  in the opinion of the Company,  all such
proceedings  are either  adequately  covered by insurance or, if not so covered,
should  not  ultimately  result in any  liability  which  would  have a material
adverse effect on the financial position,  liquidity or results of operations of
the Company.

          Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations Introduction

     The following  unaudited pro forma consolidated  financial  statements have
been prepared from the historical  consolidated  financial statements of Anixter
International Inc. (the "Company").  The Pentacon,  Inc.  ("Pentacon") column in
the following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements reflects the
historical financial statements of Pentacon for the year ended December 31, 2001
and for the 38 week period ended September 19, 2002.

     The unaudited  pro forma  consolidated  statements of operations  have been
adjusted to reflect the Pentacon  acquisition  as described  under Item 2 in the
Company's  8-K dated  September 20, 2002.  The unaudited pro forma  consolidated
statements of  operations  assume that the Pentacon  acquisition  occurred as of
December  30,  2000.  The Pentacon  acquisition  is  reflected in the  Company's
consolidated  balance  sheet at September  27, 2002,  the most recent period for
which a  consolidated  balance  sheet  was  required.  Accordingly,  a pro forma
balance  sheet is not  required and is not  included  herein.  In the opinion of
management,   all   adjustments  to  present  fairly  the  unaudited  pro  forma
consolidated statements of operations have been made.

     The  unaudited  pro  forma  statements  of  operations  should  be  read in
conjunction  with the Company's  historical  consolidated  financial  statements
including the notes  thereto,  set forth in the Company's  Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 28, 2001; the Company's historical consolidated
financial  statements  including the notes  thereto,  set forth in the Company's
Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 27, 2002
and Pentacon's  historical  consolidated  financial statements and notes thereto
included elsewhere in this report. Anixter acquired the operations and assets of
Pentacon as part of a pre negotiated  plan of  reorganization  by Pentacon under
Chapter 11 of the U. S. Bankruptcy Code. The historical results of Pentacon used
in the  preparation  of these pro forma  statements  reflect  certain  costs and
expenses  that are not a part of the acquired  assets.  The  unaudited pro forma
consolidated  statements of  operations  are not  necessarily  indicative of the
results that would have  occurred had the purchase been made at the beginning of
the period presented,  nor do they purport to indicate the results of the future
operations of the Company.

              NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Pro Forma Statements of Operations

     The pro forma adjustments to the accompanying financial information for the
year ended  December 28, 2001 and for the 39 weeks ended  September 27, 2002 are
described below:

     (a) To reduce both rental expense for facilities that were not acquired and
legal and  professional  fees  that  were  directly  related  to the  bankruptcy
proceedings of Pentacon.

     (b)  This   adjustment   reflects  the   exclusion  of  the  2001  goodwill
amortization  expense  incurred  by  Pentacon,   partially  offset  by  purchase
accounting   adjustments  for  the   amortization  of  $13.9  million  of  other
intangibles with finite lives.

     (c) To  reflect  the  exclusion  of  total  interest  expense  incurred  by
Pentacon, partially offset by the interest expense that would have been incurred
by  Anixter  resulting  from  $110.4  million  of  borrowings  used to fund  the
acquisition at an annualized interest rate of 4.75% over the respective period.

     (d) To record the estimated  income tax expense  impacts related to the pro
forma  adjustments  (a) through (c) above and the  inclusion  of Pentacon at the
combined  federal  and state  effective  income tax rates of 40.0% and 42.2% for
2002 and 2001, respectively.

Note 2. Restructuring and Other Charges

     In 2001,  Pentacon  initiated a plan to  restructure  its current  business
operations  and  conducted an  assessment  of its business in the  aerospace and
telecommunication  industries  in view of the impact of the  September  11, 2001
events in New York and  Washington,  D.C. and the financial  difficulties in the
telecommunications  industry. As a result,  Pentacon recorded  restructuring and
other charges of $54.6 million.  Included in cost of sales are charges  totaling
$39.1  million for the  write-off of  inventory.  Of that total,  $33.5  million
related  to  noncash  write-offs  of  excess  aerospace  and  telecommunications
inventory based on a review of the  anticipated  future demand for the inventory
resulting from decreased usage levels. The remaining $5.6 million  represented a
noncash charge  resulting from offering $9.8 million of slower moving  inventory
at substantially reduced prices in order to take advantage of the cash flows and
tax benefits.  The remaining  $15.5 million of  restructuring  and other charges
resulted from the write-down of deferred tax assets,  termination benefit costs,
closing of five distribution facilities, professional fees and write-off of debt
issuance costs. See Note 2 "Restructuring  and Other Charges" in Pentacon's 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2001 for additional information.

                                       34

Note 3. Allocation of Purchase Price

     The  Company's  acquisition  of Pentacon was  accounted  for as a purchase.
Assets and  liabilities  have been recorded at estimated fair value based on the
following preliminary allocation of purchase price. During the fourth quarter of
2002, the Company preliminarily identified certain intangible assets. Intangible
assets with finite lives  totaling  $13.9  million will be amortized  over their
useful lives of 8 to 10 years, while intangible assets with indefinite lives and
goodwill of $1.8 million and $8.6 million, respectively, will not be amortized.

         Estimated purchase price                                $ 108.2
         Other transaction-related costs                             3.2
                                                                 -------
