                SED INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS, INC. CODE OF ETHICS
           FOR FINANCIAL OFFICERS OF SED INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS, INC.
                          AND ITS AFFILIATED COMPANIES

     SED International Holdings, Inc. ("SED") values its reputation for honesty,
integrity and high ethics. We wish to continue to conduct our business
activities according to the highest moral, ethical and legal standards.
Therefore, we ask each of our senior financial officers to make a personal
commitment to comply with the policies set forth in this Code of Ethics, and to
foster a culture in which complying with these policies is at the core of our
business activities.

I.   SED'S POLICIES

     _    Adopt effective processes to facilitate SED's timely filing of
          accurate and complete periodic reports, certifications, statements and
          proposals.

          -    Maintain complete, accurate and timely records and accounts to
               reflect all business transactions.

          -    Maintain sound processes and controls.

          -    Provide timely, candid forecasts and assessments of SED's
               financial position.

          -    Follow all of SED's accounting procedures as well as all
               generally accepted accounting principles, standards, laws and
               regulations for accounting and financial reporting of
               transactions, estimates and forecasts.

     -    Obey all applicable laws and regulations governing SED's business
          worldwide.

     -    Be honest, fair and trustworthy in all your SED activities and
          relationships.

          -    Never make a deliberate misrepresentation concerning an SED
               company or its business operations. Never create or assist anyone
               in creating a false or misleading entry in any book or business
               record of an SED company. No unrecorded or "hidden" funds or
               assets are permitted in any circumstances.

     -    Avoid all conflicts of interest between work and personal affairs.

          -    Disclose you're outside activities, financial interests or
               relationships that may present a possible conflict of interest or
               the appearance of a conflict. Make your disclosures in writing to
               the Audit Committee of SED's Board of Directors.

          -    Make decisions in the best interest of SED and not for personal
               gain.

          -    Obtain the approval of SED's Board of Directors before either you
               or any of your immediate family members acquires a financial
               interest in any of SED's competitors,

<PAGE>

               suppliers or customers, where such interest is of such character
               or magnitude that it could influence the dealings between such
               competitor, supplier or customer and SED.

          -    Obtain the approval of SED's Board of Directors before either you
               or any of your immediate family members accepts employment with
               an outside business concern where such employment could adversely
               affect your work performance at SED.

          -    Obtain the approval of SED's Board of Directors before you accept
               a board position with an outside business concern or with a
               not-for-profit entity where there may be an SED business
               relationship with the entity or an expectation of financial or
               other support from SED.

          -    Ensure that neither you nor any of your immediate family members
               accept gifts or favors that create any obligation--either stated
               or implied--to a competitor, supplier of customer of SED.

          -    Do not offer any gift or favor to any employee, or a member of
               the immediate family of an employee, of a competitor, supplier or
               customer which is excessive under the circumstances, if the gift
               or favor might place the recipient under any obligation to you or
               to an SED company.

          -    Kickbacks, bribes, rebates or other illegal consideration are
               never acceptable, and must never be either given or accepted by
               anyone acting on behalf of an SED company. Be particularly alert
               to any governmental agency rules limiting or prohibiting gifts or
               other favors.

          -    Do not use or disclose any confidential or non-public information
               learned through your employment with an SED company, either for
               your own or someone else's personal benefit. Use of such
               information may also violate strict federal laws against "insider
               trading" in securities.

     -    Through your leadership, sustain a culture in which ethical conduct is
          recognized, valued and exemplified by all employees.

          you have questions about application of the policies.

     -    Promptly raise any concern you or others may have about possible
          violations of any SED policy. You may raise an integrity concern with
          any of SED's legal counsel, SED's auditor, the Audit Committee of
          SED's Board of Directors, or SED's Board of Directors. You may raise a
          concern orally or in writing, and, if you prefer, you can do it
          anonymously. SED will not retaliate or take adverse action against any
          officer for raising or helping to resolve an integrity concern.

     -    Cooperate in SED investigations into concerns about an SED policy.

     -    Ensure that employees under your direction understand the requirements
          of SED policies and applicable law.

     -    Encourage employees under your direction to raise their integrity
          questions and concerns.

          policies as considerations when evaluating and rewarding employees.

     -    Implement appropriate control measures in business processes to detect
          heightened compliance risks and/or violations.

     -    Take prompt corrective action to fix any identified weaknesses in
          compliance measures.

     -    Take appropriate disciplinary action.

     -    Consult with SED legal counsel and make appropriate disclosures to
          regulators and law enforcement authorities.

III. Sanctions for Violations

     -    Officers who violate SED's policies are subject to disciplinary action
          up to and including termination of employment. Conduct that may result
          in discipline includes:

          -    Requesting others to violate an SED policy.

               SED policy.
