                                     PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

      Jaco Electronics, Inc., a New York corporation organized in 1961
(collectively with all of its subsidiaries, unless otherwise noted, "Jaco" or
the "Company").

GENERAL

      Jaco markets and distributes passive and active electronic components to
original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") throughout the United States and
Canada from two distribution centers located on the East and West coasts and 14
sales offices located throughout the United States. The Company distributes
products such as semiconductors, capacitors, resistors, electro-mechanical
devices, flat panels, computers and computer subsystems, which are used in the
manufacture and assembly of electronic products. The Company also provides a
variety of value-added services including configuring complete computer systems
to customers' specifications, kitting the component requirements of certain
customers and furnishing contract manufacturing services. Value-added services
are intended to attract new customers, maintain and increase sales to existing
customers and, where feasible, generate additional revenues and improve margins
from sales of components. In addition, these services are designed to respond to
an industry trend of outsourcing, in which purchasing and warehousing functions
are allocated by customers to the most efficient provider. The Company entered
the contract manufacturing business in March 1994, when it acquired all of the
outstanding capital stock of Nexus Custom Electronics, Inc. ("Nexus"), a
Vermont-based contract manufacturer of printed circuit boards. Management
believes the acquisition of Nexus has enabled, and will continue to enable, the
Company to expand and broaden its range of value-added service capabilities.

      The Company's core customer base consists primarily of small and
medium-sized OEMs that produce electronic equipment used in a wide variety of
industries, including manufacturers of

                                        2

<PAGE>   3
telecommunications, computer, computer-related, medical and aerospace equipment
and several Fortune 500 manufacturers. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997,
the Company distributed electronic components to thousands of customers, none of
which individually represented more than 3% of net sales.

      Jaco is a service-oriented company, built on strong customer and supplier
relationships. The Company's inventory management and information systems assist
its customers in controlling materials costs, in reducing cycle times and in
keeping pace with rapidly occurring technological developments. The Company
utilizes a computerized inventory control system to assist in the marketing of
its products and coordinate purchases from suppliers with sales to customers.
The Company's computer system provides detailed on-line information regarding
the availability of the Company's entire stock of inventory located at its
stocking facilities as well as on-line access to the inventories of some of the
Company's major suppliers. Through the Company's integrated real-time
information system, customers' orders can readily be tracked through the entire
process of entering the order, reserving products to fill the order, ordering
components from suppliers, if necessary, and shipping products to customers on
scheduled dates. The Company is thus able to provide the type of distributor
service required by its OEM customers that have adopted the "just-in-time"
method of inventory procurement. The "just-in-time" method is utilized in an
effort to operate more efficiently and profitably by relying on scheduled
deliveries of such components at the time they are needed in the production
process and thereby reducing inventories of components.

      The Company provides additional customer support through technically
competent product managers, field engineers, value-added services and
communication with customers from computer to computer or through electronic
data interchange ("EDI").

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

      The electronics distribution industry has become an increasingly important
sales channel for the electronics industry because distributors can market
component manufacturers' products to a

                                        3

<PAGE>   4
broader range of OEMs than such manufacturers could economically serve with
their direct sales forces. Historically, manufacturers of electronic components
have sold directly to large OEMs and relied upon distributors to serve small
customers. Today, distributors have become more of an extension of component
manufacturers' product delivery channels by providing value-added services and
technical support to customers, by stocking sufficient inventory to ensure
timely delivery of components and by managing customer credit. Distributors also
work with OEMs to ensure that manufacturers' components are integrated into the
design of new products.

      According to the National Electronics Distributors Association, an
industry trade association, in 1996 the electronics distribution industry
recorded approximately $24.5 billion in sales. Of these sales, approximately
$7.0 billion of industry sales consisted of sales of interconnect (connectors,
sockets), electromechanical (relays, switches) and passive (resistors,
capacitors) components, which products accounted for approximately $73.9 million
of the Company's net distribution sales in the year ended June 30, 1997.
Approximately $16.6 billion of industry sales consisted of sales of
semiconductors and computer products, which accounted for approximately $71.2
million of the Company's net distribution sales for the year ended June 30,
1997.

PRODUCTS

      The Company currently distributes over 60,000 stock items. Management
believes that it is necessary for the Company to carry a wide variety of items
in order to fully service its customers requirements and, in addition, many
suppliers require the Company to carry their full product line.

      The components distributed by the Company are used in the assembly and
manufacture of electronic equipment such as computers, data transmission and
telecommunications equipment and transportation equipment, including electronic
signals and aircraft, and a broad variety of other electronic products. The
Company's products fall into two broad categories: "passive" components and
"active" components.


                                        4

<PAGE>   5
      Passive components consist primarily of capacitors, electromechanical
devices, and resistors. Passive products accounted for approximately 52%, 48%,
and 51% of the Company's net distributor sales in the fiscal years ended June
30, 1995, June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1997, respectively.

      Active components include semiconductors and computer subsystems.
Semiconductors consist of such items as integrated circuits and discrete
components, transistors, diodes, dynamic RAMs, static RAMs, video RAMs and
MOSFETs. Computer subsystems are an integral part of personal computers and
computer workstations and incorporate such items as disk drives, tape drives,
flat panels and flat panel monitors, floppy disks and controllers. These
products represented approximately 48%, 52% and 49% of the Company's net
distributor sales in the fiscal years ended June 30, 1995, June 30, 1996 and
June 30, 1997, respectively.

VALUE-ADDED SERVICES

      The Company provides a number of value-added services which are intended
to attract new customers, to maintain and increase sales to existing customers
and, where feasible, to generate additional revenues and improve margins from
sales of components. Value-added services include:

      -     CONFIGURING COMPUTER SYSTEMS. Subsystem integration is a service
            offered by the Company where it offers turnkey solutions to
            customers' computer requirements by integrating such components as
            disks, tapes and floppy disk drives with other components, including
            power suppliers, enclosures, interface electronics cables and
            converters and active components to configure complete computer
            systems to customer specifications, both in tower and desktop
            configurations.

      -     KITTING. Kitting of customer component product requirements is
            provided to fill a segment or a complete order of products to a
            select customer base. Kitting consists of assembling to a customer's
            specifications two or more of the Company's 60,000 stock items into
            pre-packaged kits ready for use in the customer's assembly line.

                                        5

<PAGE>   6
      -     CONTRACT MANUFACTURING. The Company also furnishes turnkey contract
            manufacturing printed circuit boards ("PCBs") for OEMs using both
            conventional pin-through-hole and, on an increasing basis, more
            advanced surface mount technologies. Contract manufacturing
            operations involve assembling PCBs to customer specifications
            utilizing components from suppliers with whom the Company has
            distribution agreements and other suppliers. As a turnkey contract
            manufacturer of PCBs, the Company procures the required raw
            materials and components, manages the assembly and test operations,
            and supplies the PCBs in accordance with the customer's delivery
            schedule and quality requirements for the finished product.

SALES AND MARKETING

      Management believes the Company has developed valuable long-term customer
relationships and an in-depth understanding of its customers' needs and
purchasing patterns. Jaco serves a broad range of customers in the computer,
computer-related, telecommunications, data transmission, defense, aerospace,
medical equipment and other industries. None of the Company's customers
individually represented more than 3%, 2% and 3%, respectively, of net sales in
the fiscal years ended June 30, 1995, June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1997.

      The Company's sales personnel are trained to identify their customers'
requirements and to actively market the Company's entire product line to satisfy
those needs. For example, the Company's sales staff and field engineers
regularly meet with customers' engineers and designers to discuss prospective
needs and potential design or procurement problems and enable the sales
personnel to understand which products will meet the customers' performance
criteria, are cost-effective and target specifically identified problems.


                                        6

<PAGE>   7
      Sales are made throughout the United States and Canada from the sales
departments maintained at the Company's two distribution facilities located on
the East and West Coasts of the United States in California and New York and
from 14 additional sales offices located in California, Florida, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, Washington, Colorado,
Arizona and Illinois. Sales are made primarily through personal visits by the
Company's employees and by a staff of trained telephone sales personnel who
answer inquiries and receive and process orders from customers. In addition, the
Company utilizes the services of independent sales representatives whose
territories include parts of the United States, Canada, and several foreign
countries. These sales representatives operate under agreements which are
terminable by either party upon 30 days' notice. Independent sales
representatives are authorized to solicit sales of all of the Company's product
lines and are prohibited from representing competing product lines.

      In the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, 94% of the Company's sales were
produced by Company sales personnel and 6% by independent sales representatives.
No one sales representative produced more than 2% of the Company's sales. The
Company believes that the termination of any independent sales representative
would not have a material adverse effect upon its business.

BACKLOG

      As the trend toward outsourcing increases, customers have been entering
into just-in-time contracts with distributors, instead of placing orders. As a
result, the Company's backlog has been reduced. The Company's backlog was $40.6
million at June 30, 1996, compared to $27.1 million at June 30, 1997. Backlog
consists of purchase orders received from customers for products scheduled for
delivery within the next twelve months. Orders constituting the Company's
backlog are subject to delivery rescheduling, price negotiations and
cancellations by the customer, sometimes without penalty or notice. Backlog is
not necessarily indicative of future sales for any particular period and,
therefore, the Company expects that in the normal course of business, less than
all backlogged orders will be filled.


                                        7

OPERATIONS

      Component Distribution. Inventory management is critical to a
distributor's business. The Company constantly focuses on a high number of
resales or "turns" of existing inventory to reduce exposure to product
obsolescence and changing customer demand.

      The Company's central computer system facilitates the control of
purchasing and inventory, accounts payable, shipping and receiving, and
invoicing and collection information of Jaco's distribution business. Each of
the Company's sales departments and offices is electronically linked to the
Company's central computer systems which provides fully integrated on-line
real-time data with respect to the Company's inventory levels. The Company's
inventory management system was developed internally by Jaco and is considered
proprietary. Inventory turns are tracked by vendor, and the Company's inventory
management system provides immediate information to assist in making purchasing
decisions and decisions as to which inventory to exchange with suppliers under
stock rotation programs. The Company's inventory management system also uses
bar-code technology along with scanning devices, which are supplied by Jaco to
certain customers, and is networked to the facilities of select customers. In
some cases, customers use computers that interface directly with the Company's
computers to identify available inventory and rapidly process orders. This
system enables the Company to more effectively manage its inventory and to
respond more quickly to customer requirements for timely and reliable delivery
of components. The Company's inventory turnover was approximately 3.9 for the
year ended June 30, 1997.

      Approximately 80% of the Company's component distribution inventory is
maintained at its East Coast distribution center in Hauppauge, New York. Most of
the remaining inventory is maintained at the Company's West Coast facility in
Westlake Village, California. The Company also monitors supplier stock rotation
programs, inventory price protection, rejected material and other factors
related to inventory quality and quantity.


                                        8

      Contract Manufacturing. The Company conducts its contract manufacturing
operations through Nexus at an approximately 32,600 square foot facility located
in Brandon, Vermont. Nexus provides turnkey and consigned contract manufacturing
of PCBs for OEMs. "Turnkey" is an industry term that describes a contract
manufacturer that buys customer-specified components from suppliers, assembles
the components onto finished PCBs and performs post-assembly testing, while
"consigned" refers to a contract manufacturer that provides the assembly and
testing elements only. OEMs then incorporate the PCBs into finished products. In
assembling PCBs, Nexus is capable of employing both pin-through-hole ("PTH") and
surface mount technologies ("SMT"). PTH is a method of assembling PCBs in which
component leads are inserted and soldered into plated holes in the board. SMT is
a method of assembling PCBs in which components are fixed directly to the
surface of the board, rather than being inserted into holes. The SMT process
allows for more miniaturization, cost savings and shorter lead paths between
components (which results in greater signal speed). In the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1997, the Company invested approximately $665,000 primarily in SMT
machinery and equipment, as part of the Company's ongoing program to expand
Nexus' operations.

      Nexus maintains strict quality control procedures for its products,
including use of total quality management ("TQM") systems. Incoming raw material
and components are checked by the Nexus quality control personnel. During the
production stage, quality control personnel check all work in process at several
points in the production process. Finally, after the assembly stage, Nexus
conducts random testing of finished products.

      Nexus' manufacturing facility has earned ISO 9002 certification by the
Geneva-based organization dedicated to the development of worldwide standards
for quality management guidelines and quality assurance. Nexus' receipt of ISO
9002 certification demonstrates that Nexus' manufacturing operations meet
established world standards. Management believes sophisticated customers
increasingly are requiring their manufacturers to be ISO 9002-certified for
purposes of quality assurance.


                                        9

<PAGE>   10
      Acquisition of Q.P.S. Electronics, Inc. On August 2, 1996, the Company
acquired the operating assets of Q.P.S. Electronics, Inc. ("QPS"), a distributor
of quality active and passive electronic components based in Schaumburg,
Illinois. Management expects that the acquisition of QPS will continue to
contribute to the expansion of the Company's national, dedicated distribution
network by firmly establishing the Company's presence in the Midwest
marketplace.

      Acquisition of Corona Electronics, Inc. On January 21, 1997, the Company
acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Corona Electronics,
Inc. ("Corona"), an electronics component distributor located in Orange County,
California. Management expects that the acquisition of Corona will strengthen
the Company's presence in the Southern California marketplace.

SUPPLIERS

      Manufacturers of passive and active electronic components are increasingly
relying on the marketing, customer service and other resources of distributors
who market their product lines to customers not normally served by the
manufacturer, and to supplement the manufacturer's direct sales efforts in other
accounts often by providing value-added services not offered by the
manufacturer. Manufacturers seek distributors who have strong relationships with
desirable customers, are financially strong, have the infrastructure to handle
large volumes of products and can assist customers in the design and use of the
manufacturers' products. Currently, the Company has non-exclusive distribution
agreements with many manufacturers, including Deutsch, Inc., International
Resistive Company, Inc., Johanson Dielectric Inc., Kemet Electronics
Corporation, Mitel Inc., Rohm Company, Limited, Samsung Semiconductor, Inc., TDK
Corporation of America, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc., and Zetex, Inc. Management
continuously seeks to identify potential new suppliers and obtain additional
distributorships for new lines of products. Management believes that such
expansion and diversification will increase the Company's sales and market
share.


                                       10

<PAGE>   11
      In the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, of the Company's top ten
suppliers, only Kemet accounted for more than 10% of net sales and the 
remaining nine each accounted for between 9.5% and 2.0% of net sales. No other
supplier accounted for more than 1% of net sales. As is common in the
electronics distribution industry, from time to time the Company has experienced
terminations of relationships with suppliers which may affect its results of
operations in post-termination fiscal periods.

      The Company generally purchases products from manufacturers pursuant to
non-exclusive distributor agreements. Selection as an authorized distributor is
a valuable marketing tool for the Company because customers receive warranty
protection and support from manufacturers when they purchase products from the
Company. As an authorized distributor, the Company is able to offer customers
marketing and engineering support from the product manufacturers, which enhances
the Company's ability to attract new customers and close sales.

      Most of the Company's distributor agreements are cancelable by either
party, typically upon 30 to 90 days' notice. These agreements typically provide
for price protection, stock rotation privileges and the right to return
inventory. Price protection is typically in the form of a credit to the
distributor for any inventory in the distributor's possession for which the
manufacturer reduces its prices. Stock rotation privileges typically allow the
Company to exchange inventory in an amount up to 5% of a prior period's
purchases. Upon termination of a distributor agreement, the right of return
typically requires the manufacturer to repurchase the Company's inventory at the
Company's adjusted purchase price. The Company believes that the above-described
provisions of its distributorship agreements generally have served to reduce the
Company's exposure to loss from unsold inventory. As such price protection and
stock rotation privileges are limited in scope, there can be no assurance that
the Company will not experience significant losses from unsold inventory in the
future.


                                       11

<PAGE>   12
COMPETITION

      The electronics distribution industry is highly competitive, primarily
with respect to price and product availability. The Company believes that the
breadth of customer base, services and product lines, its level of technical
expertise and the quality of its services generally are also particularly
important. The Company competes with large national distributors such as Arrow
Electronics, Inc. and Avnet, Inc., as well as regional and specialty
distributors, many of whom distribute the same or competitive products. Many of
the Company's competitors have significantly greater name recognition and
greater financial and other resources than those of the Company.

      The PCB contract manufacturing industry is highly fragmented and is
characterized by relatively high levels of volatility, competition and pricing
and margin pressure. Many large contract manufacturers operate high-volume
facilities and primarily focus on high-volume product runs. In contrast, certain
contract manufacturers, such as Nexus, focus on low-to-medium volume and
service-intensive products, where the finished product often requires a greater
amount of overall labor.

      The Company believes that contract manufacturers which are affiliated or
integrated with electronics distributors have competitive advantages over
comparably-sized, stand-alone contract manufacturers. Distributors can reduce
the risk of inventory obsolescence through stock rotation privileges and
inventory price protection and can also take advantage of material acquisition
skills, just-in-time delivery expertise and broad supplier relationships.

EMPLOYEES

      At August 29, 1997, the Company had a total of 406 employees, of which 110
were employed by Nexus. Of total employees, 11 were engaged in administration,
57 were managerial and supervisory employees, 151 were in sales and 187
performed warehouse, manufacturing and clerical functions. Of these employees,
Nexus employed one in administration, nine in management

                                       12

<PAGE>   13
and supervisory positions, four in sales and 96 in warehouse, manufacturing and
clerical functions. There are no collective bargaining contracts covering any of
the Company's employees. The Company believes its relationship with its
employees is satisfactory.

ITEM 2.    PROPERTIES

      All of the Company's facilities are leased except for the Brandon, VT
property which is owned by Nexus. Jaco currently leases 16 facilities located in
the States of Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas and
Washington, three of which are multipurpose facilities used principally as
administrative, sales, and purchasing offices, as well as warehouses, and the
remainder of which are used exclusively by Jaco as sales offices. Jaco's
satellite sales offices range in size from approximately 1,000 square feet to
approximately 7,200 square feet. Base rents for such properties range from
approximately $1,000 per month to approximately $5,700 per month. Depending on
the terms of each particular lease, in addition to base rent, Jaco may also be
responsible for portions of real estate taxes, utilities and operating costs, or
increases in such costs over certain base levels. The lease terms range from
month-to month to as long as three years. All facilities are linked by computer
terminals to Jaco's Hauppauge, New York headquarters. The following paragraphs
set forth certain information regarding Jaco's two principal leased facilities:

      (i) Jaco leases from Bemar Realty Company, a partnership consisting of
Messrs. Joel H. Girsky and Charles B. Girsky, approximately 72,000 square feet
of office and warehouse space at 145 Oser Avenue, Hauppauge, New York. The lease
provides for a current monthly base rent of approximately $42,000 net of all
expenses, including taxes, utilities, insurance, maintenance and repairs, and
has a term which expires on December 31, 2003. In Fiscal 1996, Jaco negotiated a
renewal of the lease and the current rental rate is similar to that currently
being charged for comparable properties in the area. Approximately 26,000 square
feet of space is sublet by Jaco to an unaffiliated third party. In addition to
its headquarters, Jaco maintains purchasing and sales offices and warehouse
facilities at its Hauppauge location.


                                       13
<PAGE>   14
      (ii) Jaco leases through March 31, 1998, from an unaffiliated party,
approximately 10,000 square feet of office and warehouse space in Westlake
Village, California for a base rent of approximately $9,100 per month. Jaco
maintains both a purchasing and sales office at this location, as well as
warehouse facilities.

      Nexus currently owns and occupies a 32,000 square foot facility located in
Brandon, Vermont, that is used for manufacturing, storage and office space. The
building was acquired by the Company on March 11, 1994 as part of the
acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Nexus.

      The Company believes that its present facilities will be adequate to meet
its needs for the foreseeable future.

         (a) The Company's common stock (the "Common Stock") is traded on The
Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "JACO". The stock prices listed below
represent the high and low closing sale prices of the Common Stock, as reported
by The Nasdaq National Market, for each fiscal quarter beginning with the first
fiscal quarter of 1996. Stock prices of all periods have been adjusted to give
effect to the 10% stock dividend paid on March 10, 1995 and to give effect to
the 4-for-3 stock split which was distributed to shareholders of record as of
September 22, 1995.

ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations.


    SAFE Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995:

         Statements in this filing, and elsewhere, which look forward in time
involve risks and uncertainties which may effect the actual results of
operations. The following important factors, among others, have affected and, in
the future, could affect the Company's actual results: dependence on a limited
number of suppliers for products which generate a significant portion of the
Company's sales, the effect upon the Company of increases in tariffs or duties,
changes in trade treaties, strikes or delays in air or sea transportation and
possible future United States legislation with respect to pricing and/or import
quotas on products imported from foreign countries, and general economic
downturns in the electronics distribution industry which may have an adverse
economic effect upon manufacturers, end-users of electronic components and
electronic component distributors.

GENERAL

         Jaco is a distributor of electronic components and provider of contract
manufacturing and value-added services. Products distributed by Jaco include
semiconductors, capacitors, resistors and electromechanical devices and motors
used in the assembly and manufacturing of electronic equipment.

         The Company's customers are primarily small and medium sized
manufacturers. The trend for these customers has been to shift certain
manufacturing functions to third parties (outsourcing). The Company intends to
seek to capitalize on this trend toward outsourcing by increasing sales of
products enhanced by value-added services. Value-added services currently
provided by Jaco consist of configuring complete computer systems to customer
specifications both in tower and desktop configurations, kitting (e.g. supplying
sets of specified quantities of products to a customer that are prepackaged for
ease of feeding the customer's production lines), and contract manufacturing
through Nexus.

         During August 1996 and January 1997 the Company acquired the operating
assets of QPS Electronics, Inc. and all of the outstanding common stock of
Corona Electronics, Inc., respectively, both of which are electronic component
distributors. Aggregate consideration paid for the acquisitions approximated
$4.7 million, of which $157,500 was paid through the issuance of 20,000 shares
of the Company's common stock (See Note I of the Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements). The addition of these two companies strengthens the
Company's position in Southern California and the Midwest. The Company has
consolidated the operations of these acquired companies in order to reduce
operating costs and create a stronger sales organization.

         The Company's sales from value-added services represented $15.7
million, or 10.1% of net sales in the year ended June 30, 1997, $18.0 million,
or 11% of net sales in the year ended June 30, 1996, and $18.1 million or 11% of
net sales in the year ended June 30, 1995. Of these sales, sales from contract
manufacturing were $10.0 million, or 6.4% of net sales in year ended June 30,
1997, and $10.8 million, or 6.5% of net sales in the year ended June 30, 1996,
and $12.1 million, or 8.7% of net sales in the year ended June 30, 1995.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The following table sets forth certain items in the Company's statement
of earnings as a percentage of net sales for the periods shown:

COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 ("FISCAL 1997") WITH YEAR ENDED
JUNE 30, 1996 ("FISCAL 1996")

         Net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 decreased 7.2% to
$155,098,000, as compared to $167,149,000 reported for the same fiscal 1996
period. During fiscal 1997, the decrease in sales was primarily the result of an
overall industry weakness as it relates to component pricing. The Company sold a
greater number of components than were sold in its last fiscal year, but has
been unable to offset the price reductions that have occurred. The Company
completed two acquisitions during fiscal 1997 (See Note I of the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements) that expanded its market penetration in the
Midwest and Southern California. Additionally, the Company continued to expand
its marketing efforts in flat panel devices and field application engineers
("FAE's"). FAE's assist in designing components for approval by customer's
engineering departments. Sales from contract manufacturing decreased by
approximately $.8 million during fiscal 1997, compared to fiscal 1996. During
the fiscal year Nexus shifted its sales effort to surface mount technology,
compared to the older pin-through-hole technology. The Company believes that the
shift in technology should produce increases in contract manufacturing sales
during future periods.


                                       20
<PAGE>   21
         Gross profit margins, as percentage of net sales, increased slightly
from 20.4% in fiscal 1996 to 20.7% in fiscal 1997. Though unit pricing of
components declined during the fiscal year, both price protection provided to
the Company by its suppliers and increases in the sale of passive components,
which historically have maintained a slightly higher gross profit margin as
compared to active components, resulted in the increase in gross profit margin.

         Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $27.6 million
in fiscal 1997, an increase of $1.4 million, or 5.3% from $26.2 million in
fiscal 1996. The Company's addition of sales and sales management personnel, the
expansion of the FAE program and the addition of the flat panel display group
have contributed to the increase in SG&A expenses. Additionally, the Company
acquired QPS Electronics, Inc. and Corona Electronics, Inc. during the fiscal
year. The Company will closely monitor SG&A costs during the future periods.

         Interest expense decreased to $1.0 million in fiscal 1997, as compared
to $1.3 million in fiscal 1996. The 28% decrease was primarily the result of a
reduction in borrowings, as a result of the reduction in indebtedness under the
Company's credit facility by the application of the net proceeds of $17.1
million from the public offering completed during the second quarter of fiscal
1996. Borrowings under the credit facility include funds used for the
acquisition of Corona and QPS (See Note I of the Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements) during fiscal 1997.

         Net earnings for fiscal 1997 were $2.1 million, or $.53 per share, as
compared to $3.8 million, or $1.08 per share, during the last fiscal year. The
decrease in net earnings was attributable to the decrease in sales and the
increase in SG&A. The Company believes that the additional expenses incurred
during fiscal 1997 will provide the infrastructure necessary for future
increases in sales.

COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 WITH YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1995
("FISCAL 1995")

         Net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 increased 20.5% to
$167,149,000, as compared to $138,683,000 reported for the same fiscal 1995
period. The increase in sales was the result of strong overall demand for
electronic components in the electronics industry, the Company's continued
expansion as a national distributor into new territories, and the addition of
sales personnel in existing locations. The Company has expanded its product
offerings to include the flat panel display market. Sales were minimal during
fiscal 1996. Sales from contract manufacturing (Nexus) decreased by
approximately $1.0 million during fiscal 1996, compared to fiscal 1995, due to
the loss of two major customers.

         Gross profit margins, as a percentage of net sales, decreased slightly
from 20.8% in fiscal 1995 to 20.4% in fiscal 1996. This was primarily due to a
softening in demand for components during the second half of fiscal 1996.

         Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $26.2 million
in fiscal 1996, an increase of $2.7 million, or 11.4%, from $23.6 million in
fiscal 1995. The continued geographic expansion of the Company by opening sales
offices in Arizona and Colorado, the higher commissions paid based on sales
growth, the addition of sales personnel in existing locations and the hiring of
additional support personnel to handle increased sales all attributed to the
increase in SG&A. As a percentage of fiscal 1996 net sales, SG&A declined to
15.7% from 17.0% in fiscal 1995. Close attention to cost containment resulted in
the reduction.

         Interest expense decreased to $1.3 million in fiscal 1996 from $2.0
million in fiscal 1995. The 33% decrease was primarily the result of a reduction
in borrowings as a result of the reduction


                                       22
<PAGE>   23
in indebtedness under the Company's Credit Facility by application of the net
proceeds from the public offering completed during the second quarter of fiscal
1996.

         Net earnings for fiscal 1996 were $3.8 million, an increase of
approximately $1.9 million, or approximately 101% as compared to the same period
in fiscal 1995. The increase in the net earnings is principally the result of
increases in sales, control of SG&A expenses and a reduction in interest
expense.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         On October 20, 1995, the Company completed a public offering of
1,600,000 shares of its common stock at $12.75 per share. The offering consisted
of 1,325,000 shares offered by the Company and an aggregate of 275,000 shares
offered by certain officers and directors of the Company. On December 8, 1995,
the underwriters of the public offering exercised a portion of their
overallotment option for an additional 160,000 shares at a price per share equal
to that of the public offering. The Company's net proceeds from the public
offering of approximately $17,140,000, after deducting the underwriters'
commission and cost of the public offering, were used to reduce its bank
indebtedness. In connection with the public offering, the Company also issued
stock warrants, to the representative underwriters, to purchase up to 70,000
shares of common stock at an exercise price per share equal to 180% of the
public offering price, which expire on October 20, 1999.

         The Company's agreement with its banks, as amended, provides the
Company with a $30,000,000 term loan and revolving line of credit facility based
principally on eligible accounts receivable and inventories of the Company as
defined in the agreements expiring September 13, 1998. Under a verbal agreement
effective June 1, 1997, borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at
the average 30-day LIBOR rate plus 1%. The outstanding balance on the revolving
line of credit facility was $14,018,312 at June 30, 1997. The term loan, with a
remaining balance of $803,571 at June 30, 1997, requires monthly principal
payments of $17,857, together with interest


                                       23
<PAGE>   24
through September 13, 1998, with a final payment of $533,600 on September 13,
1998. Borrowings under this facility are collateralized by substantially all of
the assets of the Company. The agreement contains provisions for maintenance of
certain financial ratios, all of which the Company is in compliance with at June
30, 1997, and prohibits the payment of cash dividends. The agreement also
provides for the issuance of letters of credit by the banks on the Company's
behalf. At June 30, 1997, $500,000 of such letters of credit were outstanding.

         During fiscal 1997, the Company's net cash provided by operating
activities was approximately $1.3 million, as compared to net cash used in
operating activities of approximately $1.7 million for fiscal 1996, an increase
of approximately $3.0 million. The increase is primarily attributable to the
decrease in accounts receivable by $1.6 million (net of assets acquired from
business acquisitions) for fiscal 1997, as compared to a $2.5 million increase
during fiscal 1996. In addition, inventory increased by $1.8 million (net of
assets acquired from business acquisitions) for fiscal 1997, as compared to a
$3.4 million increase during fiscal 1996. Net cash used in investing activities
increased to $5.9 million for fiscal 1997, as compared to $.9 million for fiscal
1996, an increase of $5.0 million. The two acquisitions completed during fiscal
1997 required approximately $4.7 million, and were financed through the
Company's line of credit. Fiscal 1996 reflects the proceeds of the Company's
public offering, which reduced cash provided by financing activities by
application of such proceeds against the Company's bank borrowings. The
Company's cash expenditures may vary significantly from current levels, based on
a number of factors, including, but not limited to, future acquisitions, if any.

         In connection with the January 1997 acquisition of Corona, the Company
increased its borrowings under its existing revolving line of credit by
approximately $4.2 million. Additionally, the Company increased its borrowings
by approximately $2.6 million to finance an increase in inventory.

         For fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1997, inventory turnover was 4.7x and 3.9x,
respectively. The average of the Company's accounts receivable at June 30, 1997
was 52 days, as compared to 48 days


                                       24
<PAGE>   25
at June 30, 1996. The Company did not experience any significant trade
collection difficulties during fiscal 1997.

         On April 15, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the
purchase of up to 250,000 shares of its common stock or approximately 6.3% of
the then outstanding shares, under a stock repurchase program. During fiscal
1997, the Company repurchased 87,500 shares at an average market price of $8.00
per share.

         The Company believes that cash flow from operations and funds available
under its credit facility will be sufficient to fund the Company's capital needs
for at least the next twelve months.


INFLATION

         Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's operations
during the last three fiscal years.

Board of Directors and Shareholders
    JACO ELECTRONICS, INC.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Jaco
Electronics, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 1996 and 1997
and the related consolidated statements of earnings, changes in shareholders'
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30,
1997. 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 generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 Jaco Electronics,
Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 1996 and 1997, and the consolidated results
of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended June 30, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                          June 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997



NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Jaco Electronics, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") is primarily
         engaged in the distribution of semiconductors, capacitors, resistors,
         electromechanical devices, computers and computer subsystems, produced
         by others, for the manufacture and assembly of electronic products. In
         addition, the Company provides contract manufacturing services.

         Electronics parts distribution sales include exports made principally
         to customers located in Western Europe. For the years ended June 30,
         1995, 1996 and 1997, export sales amounted to approximately $5,032,000,
         $4,963,000 and $4,102,000, respectively.

         A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the
         preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements
         follows:

         1.       Principles of Consolidation

                  The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
                  accounts of Jaco Electronics, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all
                  of which are wholly-owned. All significant intercompany
                  balances and transactions have been eliminated.

         2.       Revenue Recognition

                  The Company recognizes revenue as products are shipped and
                  title passes to customers.

         3.       Investments in Marketable Securities

                  Investments in marketable securities consist of investments in
                  mutual funds. Such investments have been classified as
                  "available for sale securities" and are reported at fair
                  market value which is inclusive of unrealized gains of
                  approximately $114,245 and $188,200 in 1996 and 1997,
                  respectively. Changes in the fair value of "available for sale
                  securities" are classified as a separate component of
                  shareholders' equity, net of any related deferred tax effects.

         4.       Inventories

                  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
                  determined using the first-in, first-out and average cost
                  methods.

                          June 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997



NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

         5.       Property, Plant and Equipment

                  Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation
                  is provided for using the straight-line method over the
                  estimated useful life of the assets.

         6.       Excess of Cost Over Net Assets Acquired

                  The excess of cost over net assets acquired is amortized over
                  periods of ten to forty years using the straight-line method.
                  The Company periodically reviews and evaluates whether there
                  has been a permanent impairment in the value of its
                  intangibles. Factors considered in the valuation include
                  current operating results, trends and anticipated undiscounted
                  future cash flows.

         7.       Income Taxes

                  Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences
                  between financial statement and income tax bases of assets and
                  liabilities and net operating loss carryforwards for which
                  income tax expenses or benefits are expected to be realized in
                  future years. A valuation allowance has been established to
                  reduce deferred tax assets attributable to a subsidiary of the
                  Company, as it is more likely than not that all, or some
                  portion, of such deferred tax assets will not be realized. The
                  effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is
                  recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment
                  date.

         8.       Earnings Per Common Share

                  Earnings per common share is based upon the weighted average
                  number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year
                  and reflects the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options.
                  All per share information has been restated to reflect the
                  Company's fiscal 1995 stock dividend and stock split.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                          June 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997



NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

         9.       Financial Instruments and Business Concentrations

                  Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
                  concentration of credit risk consist principally of accounts
                  receivable. Concentration of credit risk with respect to
                  accounts receivable is generally mitigated due to the large
                  number of entities comprising the Company's customer base,
                  their dispersion across geographic areas and the Company's
                  policy of maintaining credit insurance. The Company routinely
                  addresses the financial strength of its customers and, as a
                  consequence, believes that its receivable credit risk exposure
                  is limited.

                  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 ("SFAS No.
                  107"), "Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires
                  disclosure of the estimated fair value of an entity's
                  financial instrument assets and liabilities. The Company's
                  principal financial instrument consists of a revolving credit
                  facility, expiring on September 13, 1998, with two
                  participating banks. The Company believes that the carrying
                  amount of such debt approximates the fair value as the
                  variable interest rate approximates the current prevailing
                  interest rate.

   
                  The Company generally purchases products from manufacturers
                  pursuant to nonexclusive distributor agreements. During the
                  year ended June 30, 1997, the Company's top three suppliers
                  accounted for 18%, 9.5% and 8%, respectively, of net sales. As
                  is common in the electronics distribution industry, from time
                  to time the Company has experienced terminations of
                  relationships with suppliers. There can be no assurance that,
                  in the event a supplier cancelled its distributor agreement
                  with the Company, the Company will be able to replace the
                  sales with sales of other products.
    

         10.      Use of Estimates

                  In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally
                  accepted accounting principles, management is required 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, as well
                  as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
                  reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
                  estimates.

                          June 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997



NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

      11.      Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

               In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board has
               issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
               "Earnings Per Share," which is effective for financial statements
               for both interim and annual periods ending after December 15,
               1997. Early adoption of the new standard is not permitted. The
               new standard eliminates primary and fully diluted earnings per
               share and requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per
               share together with disclosure of how the per share amounts were
               computed. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a
               material impact on the disclosure of earnings per share in the
               financial statements.

NOTE D - INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

        At June 30, 1997, the Company, through an acquisition, has available a
        Federal net operating loss carryforward of approximately $1,121,000.
        Such net operating loss is subject to certain limitations and expires in
        varying amounts during the fiscal years 2007 through 2009. Further, the
        Company has established a valuation allowance with respect to the net
        deferred tax assets attributable to this acquired subsidiary. During
        fiscal 1997, $12,000 of such net deferred tax asset was recognized as a
        reduction of the excess of cost over net assets acquired attributable to
        the acquired subsidiary. The subsequent realization of the majority of
        such deferred tax asset will result in the reduction of the excess of
        cost over net assets acquired.

NOTE E - DEBT AND CAPITALIZED LEASE OBLIGATIONS (CONTINUED)

        (a)       Term Loans and Revolving Line of Credit Facility

                  The Company's agreement with its banks, as amended, provides
                  the Company with a $30,000,000 term loan and revolving line of
                  credit facility based principally on eligible accounts
                  receivable and inventories of the Company as defined in the
                  agreements expiring September 13, 1998. Under a verbal
                  agreement effective June 1, 1997, borrowings under the credit
                  facility bear interest at the average 30-day LIBOR rate plus
                  1%. The outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit
                  facility, $14,018,312 at June 30, 1997, bears an interest rate
                  of 6.69%. Pursuant to the same agreement, at June 30, 1997, a
                  term loan with a remaining balance of $803,571 requires
                  monthly principal payments of $17,857, together with interest
                  through September 13, 1998, with a final payment of $553,600
                  on September 13, 1998. Borrowings under this facility are
                  collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the
                  Company. The agreement contains provisions for maintenance of
                  certain financial ratios, all of which the Company is in
                  compliance with, and prohibits the payment of cash dividends.
                  The agreement also provides for the issuance of letters of
                  credit by the banks on the Company's behalf. At June 30, 1997,
                  $500,000 of such letters of credit were outstanding.

                  June 30, 1997 and $464,000 at June 30, 1996. The agreements
                  contain, among other things, restrictive covenants on one of
                  the Company's subsidiaries, which place limitations on: (i)
                  consolidations, mergers and acquisitions, (ii) additional
                  indebtedness,

                  agreements. The loans bear interest payable monthly, at 6%,
                  5.5% and 1.5% over the bank's prime rate, respectively.

        (c)       Equipment Notes

   
                  The equipment notes are payable through September 1999,
                  bearing implicit interest rates from 7.55% to 9.68% and are
                  collateralized by the related equipment.
    

        (d)       Capitalized Lease Obligations

                  The Company leases certain equipment under agreements
                  accounted for as capital leases. During fiscal 1997, the
                  Company, through one of its subsidiaries, leased approximately
                  $532,000 of equipment for its contract manufacturing business
                  which were accounted for as capital leases. The obligations
                  for the equipment require the Company to make monthly payments
                  through June 2002, with implicit interest rates from 7.07% to

        3.     Employment Agreement

               Effective July 1, 1993, the Company entered into an employment
               agreement with its Chairman expiring July 1, 1997, pursuant to
               which the Chairman receives a base annual salary of $325,000. In
               addition, the Chairman will be entitled to an annual bonus equal
               to 4% of earnings before income taxes, if earnings for a
               particular fiscal year exceed $1,000,000 or 6% if earnings before
               income taxes are in excess of $2,500,000. The agreement also
               provides for the continuation of the deferred compensation
               arrangement first established in fiscal 1985, whereby $50,000 per
               year has been accrued and becomes payable in its entirety no

               age 60 (fiscal 1999) or (2) cessation of the Chairman's
               employment with or without cause after July 1, 1993. In the event
               of a change in control resulting in termination of the Chairman's
               employment, the Chairman will receive between $450,000 and
               $600,000 depending on the date of termination. For the years
               ended June 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997, bonuses of approximately
               $193,000, $387,000 and $210,000, respectively, were earned
               pursuant to the Chairman's employment agreement. Presently, the
               Company is in negotiations with its Chairman to extend his
               employment agreement.

         4.       Other Matters

                  The Company is a party to legal matters arising in the general
                  conduct of business. The ultimate outcome of such matters is
                  not expected to have a material adverse effect on the
                  Company's results of operations or financial position.


NOTE G - RETIREMENT PLAN

         The Company maintains a 401(k) Plan that is available to all employees,
         to which the Company contributes up to a maximum of 1% of each
         employee's salary. For the years ended June 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997,
         the Company contributed to this plan approximately $90,000, $104,000
         and $91,000, respectively.


NOTE H - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

         On October 20, 1995, the Company completed a public offering of
         1,600,000 shares of its common stock at $12.75 per share. The offering
         consisted of 1,325,000 shares offered by the Company and 275,000 shares
         offered by certain officers and directors of the Company. On December
         8, 1995, the underwriters of the public offering exercised a portion of
         their overallotment option for an additional 160,000 shares at a price
         per share equal to that of the public offering. The Company's net
         proceeds from the public offering of $17,139,966, after deducting the
         underwriters' commission and costs of the public offering, were used to
         reduce its bank indebtedness. In connection with the public offering,
         the Company also issued stock warrants, to the representative
         underwriters, to purchase up to 70,000 shares of common stock at an
         exercise price per share equal to 180% of the public offering price,
         which expire on October 20, 1999.

         On February 3, 1995, the Company declared a 10% stock dividend which
         was paid on March 10, 1995. Further, on August 30, 1995, the Company
         authorized a 4-for-3 stock split. The 4-for-3 split was distributed on
         October 3, 1995 to shareholders of record as of September 22, 1995. All
         references to the number of common shares and earnings per common
         share have been restated to reflect the 10% stock dividend and the
         4-for-3 stock split.

NOTE H - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)

         The Company has stock option plans which provide for the granting of
         stock options to employees, directors and officers under the following
         stock option plans:

         In November 1981, the Company approved the adoption of a qualified
         incentive stock option plan, hereinafter referred to as the "1981
         Plan." The stock options granted under the 1981 Plan were generally
         exercisable for a period of five years at a price not less than the
         market value on the date of grant. The 1981 Plan terminated in November
         1991. Options granted prior to expiration of the 1981 Plan which, by
         their terms, do not expire until after November 1991 remain outstanding
         in accordance with their terms until their individual expiration dates.
         During fiscal 1996, all outstanding options under the 1981 Plan had
         been exercised.

         In December 1992, the Board of Directors approved the adoption of a
         nonqualified stock option plan, known as the "1993 Non-Qualified Stock
         Option Plan," hereinafter referred to as the "1993 Plan." The Board of
         Directors or Plan Committee is responsible for the granting of and
         price of these options. Such price shall be equal to the fair market
         value of the common stock subject to such option at the time of grant.
         The options expire five years from the date of grant and are
         exercisable over the period stated in each option. The Company has
         reserved 293,333 shares of common stock for the 1993 Plan, all of which
         are outstanding.

         In October 1993, the Board of Directors approved the adoption of a
         stock option plan for outside directors, known as the "1993 Stock
         Option Plan for Outside Directors," hereinafter referred to as the
         "Outside Directors Plan." Each outside director who was serving as of
         December 31, 1993 was granted a nonqualified stock option to purchase
         14,667 shares of the Company's common stock at the fair market value on
         the date of grant. The Company has reserved 146,667 shares of common
         stock for the Outside Directors Plan of which 46,932 options are
         outstanding. Of the 99,735 options currently available for grant under
         the Outside Directors Plan, each person who is an outside director on
         December 31 of each calendar year subsequent to 1993 shall be granted
         options to purchase 2,933 shares of the Company's common stock
         annually. Granted options shall expire upon the earlier of five years
         after the date of grant or one year following the date on which the
         outside director ceases to serve in such capacity.

         In June 1997, the Company appointed an additional outside director to
         the Board of Directors who received 10,000 options to purchase the
         Company's common stock at the fair market value on the date of grant.
         These options were not granted pursuant to any stock option plan.

         The following table summarizes information concerning currently
         outstanding and exercisable nonqualified stock options:

</TABLE>

         The weighted-average option fair value on the grant date was $3.10 and
         $1.82 for options issued during the years ended June 30, 1996 and 1997,
         respectively.

         The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of Statement of
         Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
         Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"); it applies APB Opinion No. 25,
         "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations
         in accounting for the Plan and does not recognize compensation expense
         for such Plan. If the Company had elected to recognize compensation
         expense based upon the fair value at the grant dates for awards under
         these plans consistent with the methodology prescribed by SFAS No. 123,
         the Company's reported net earnings and earnings per share would be
         reduced to the pro forma amount indicated below for the years ended
         June 30:

NOTE H - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)

        These pro forma amounts may not be representative of future disclosures
        because they do not take into effect pro forma compensation expense
        related to grants made before fiscal 1996. The fair value of these
        options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
        option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for
        the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively: expected
        volatility of 25% for both years; risk-free interest rates of 5.67% and
        6.32%; and expected term of 3 years for both years.

        The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in
        estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting
        restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation
        models require the use of highly subjective assumptions including the
        expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's employee stock
        options have characteristics significantly different from those of
        traded options, and because changes in the subjective 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.

        In April 1996, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has
        authorized the purchase of up to 250,000 shares of its common stock or
        approximately 6.3% of the then outstanding shares, under a stock
        repurchase program. The purchases may be made by the Company from time
        to time on the open market at the Company's discretion. During fiscal
        1997, the Company purchased 87,500 shares of its common stock for
        aggregate consideration of $700,000.

        In June 1997, the Company's Board of Directors approved the adoption of
        a restricted stock plan. The plan, which is subject to shareholders'
        approval at the next scheduled meeting (anticipated to be held in
        December 1997), enables the Board of Directors or Plan Committee to have
        sole discretion and authority to determine who may purchase restricted
        stock, the number of shares, the price to be paid and the restrictions
        placed upon the stock. Pursuant to this plan, the Board of Directors has
        authorized, subject to shareholder approval, the purchase of 90,000
        shares of the Company's common stock by certain employees at a purchase
        price of $1.00 per share. Shares purchased are subject to a four-year
        vesting period.

NOTE I - ACQUISITIONS

        During August 1996 and January 1997, the Company purchased QPS
        Electronics, Inc. and Corona Electronics, Inc., respectively, both of
        which are electronic component distributors. Aggregate consideration
        paid for the acquisitions approximated $4,700,000, of which $157,500 was
        paid through the issuance of 20,000 shares of the Company's common
        stock. These acquisitions have been accounted for by the purchase method
        and, as such, the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired have
        been recorded on the date of the respective acquisitions. The respective
        results of their operations are included with those of the Company from
        the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair
        value of the assets acquired, approximately $3,053,000, is being
        amortized using the straight-line method over a period of twenty years.
        Pro forma historical results of operations are not presented, as such
        results would not be materially different from the historical results of
        the Company.
