             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.  In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
    condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of
    normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial
    position as of September 30, 1994 and July 1, 1994; the results of
    operations for the first quarters ended September 30, 1994 and October
    1, 1993; and the cash flows for the first quarters ended September 30,
    1994 and October 1, 1993.


2.  The results of operations for the first quarter ended September 30, 1994
    are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
    full year.


3.  Inventories:
    (Thousands)

                                              September 30,     July 1, 
                                                  1994           1994  

    Finished goods                              $569,155       $554,813
    Work in process                                3,996          2,730
    Purchased parts and raw materials             98,965         69,479

                                                $672,116       $627,022


4.  From time to time, the Company may become liable with respect to pending
    and threatened litigation, taxes, and environmental and other matters. 
    The Company has been designated a potentially responsible party or has
    had other claims made against it in connection with environmental clean-
    ups at several sites.  Based upon the information known to date, the
    Company believes that it has appropriately reserved for its share of the
    costs of the clean-ups and it is not anticipated that any contingent
    matters will have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial
    condition, liquidity or results of operations.


5.  Number of shares of common stock reserved
    for conversion, warrants, options and 
    other rights:                                         4,928,638


6.  Solely for the purpose of calculating  earnings per share for the first
    quarter ended September 30, 1994, common shares issuable upon conversion
    of the 6% Convertible Subordinated Debentures were considered common
    equivalent shares and the net interest expense applicable to such
    Debentures was eliminated. The dilutive effect on the current quarter's
    earnings per share was approximately $.02. In the prior year's first 
    quarter an adjustment was not made because the impact of including the 6%

7.  Additional cash flow information:

    Other non-cash and reconciling items primarily include the provision for
    doubtful accounts.
  
    Due to the change in the Company's fiscal year and its historical
    dividend payment dates, the July 1, 1994 dividend payment was paid in
    fiscal 1994 and accordingly, no cash was used for dividends in the first
    quarter of fiscal 1995.

    Cash expended for the acquisition of operations in the first quarters of
    fiscal 1995 and 1994 include primarily the cash paid for the
    acquisitions of Penstock, Inc. and Hall-Mark Electronics (See Note No.
    8), respectively. 

    Interest and income taxes paid in the first quarters were as follows:
    (Thousands)                                        Fiscal

8.  On July 1, 1993, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the
    stock of Hall-Mark Electronics Corporation, the nation's third largest
    distributor of electronic components, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan
    of Merger dated April 20, 1993.  Each share of Hall-Mark common stock
    was exchanged for $20 in cash and 0.45 shares of Avnet common stock,
    which had a market value of $34.1875 per share on July 1, 1993.  The
    total cost of the acquisition including expenses was approximately
    $496,559,000, consisting of the cost for the Hall-Mark common stock of
    $218,409,000 in cash, $166,093,000 in Avnet stock and $2,532,000 in
    Avnet stock options (net of related tax benefits of $1,950,000), and the
    cost for the refinancing of Hall-Mark bank debt of $109,525,000.  The
    $327,934,000 of funding required to complete the transaction was
    financed through cash on hand, proceeds from the exercise of Hall-Mark
    options and warrants, and borrowings under a credit facility with
    NationsBank of North Carolina, N.A.  The transaction was accounted for
    as a purchase.


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis


Results of Operations


For the first quarter of 1995 ended September 30, 1994, consolidated sales were
a record $953.1 million, up 9% when compared with last year's first quarter
sales
of $878.0 million.  The increase in sales came entirely from the Company's
Electronic Marketing Group, as sales of the Video Communications Group were
slightly down and sales of the Electrical and Industrial Group were flat.  The
current year's sales include the sales of Penstock, DeMico and Adelsy, which
were
acquired subsequent to the first quarter of 1994.  Penstock, the nation's
leading
technical specialist distributor of microwave and radio frequency products and
related value-added services, was acquired in July 1994.  Adelsy and DeMico,
electronics component distributors based in Italy, were acquired at the end of
September 1993 and in March 1994, respectively.

Gross profit margins of 19.5% on a consolidated basis in the first quarter of
1995 were lower by 2/10 of 1% as compared with 19.7% in the first quarter of
last year.  However, operating expenses as a percentage of sales were 13.7%,
down 9/10
of 1% as compared with 14.6% in the first quarter of 1994 (before restructuring
and integration costs described below).  This resulted in an increase in
operating income as a percentage of sales to 5.8% in the first quarter of 1995
as compared with 5.1% in the first quarter of 1994.  Operating income (income
before interest, other income and taxes) as a percentage of sales has increased
sequentially over the last six quarters.

Investment and other income increased slightly as compared with the first
quarter
of 1994; however, investment and other income, have had no material effect on
earnings since the Company liquidated its marketable securities portfolio to
partially fund the July 1, 1993 acquisition of Hall-Mark Electronics.  Interest
expense was substantially higher in the first quarter of 1995 as compared with
the same quarter last year due to the combination of increased interest rates
and
increased borrowings to finance the growth in business.  The Company's effective
tax rate decreased slightly in the first quarter of 1995 as compared with the
first quarter of 1994 due primarily to the mix of earnings between the domestic
and foreign operations to which different tax rates apply.

As a result of the above, net income for the first quarter of 1995 was $28.9
million, a record for any first quarter in the Company's history, up 20% when
compared with $24.1 million (before one-time special charges) in the first
quarter of last year.  Earnings as a percentage of sales were up 3/10 of 1% to
3.0% as compared with 2.7% in the first quarter of last year.  Earnings per
share
were $0.69 as compared with $0.59 (before one-time special charges) in the first
quarter of last year.  Earnings per share for the current year's first quarter
were reduced to $0.69 by the approximately $0.02 dilutive effect of the required
inclusion as common stock equivalents of the Company's 6% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures due April 15, 2012.  In the first quarter of 1994, the
conversion of such debentures was not taken into account in calculating earnings
per share due to their anti-dilutive effect. 

During the first quarter of 1994, the Company recorded one-time special charges
which negatively impacted net income by $16.8 million or $0.41 per share.  After
such charges, net income was $7.3 million or $0.18 per share.  The one-time
charges included $22.7 million ($13.5 million after tax) of restructuring and
integration costs associated with the July 1, 1993 acquisition of Hall-Mark
Electronics and the restructuring of the Electrical and Industrial Group and
$0.5
million for the impact of the retroactive increase in federal income tax rates
enacted in fiscal 1994 as it related to fiscal 1993 income.  Additionally, in
the
first quarter of 1994, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" and
recognized a charge for the cumulative effect of the change in accounting
principle in the amount of $2.8 million.

Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 1995, incoming orders and actual
shipments (both in the aggregate and average per day) for the fiscal month of
October were higher than in the comparable period last year and were also higher
than in July 1995, the first month of the immediately preceding quarter.

The Company's Electronic Marketing Group's sales in the first quarter of 1995
were $849.8 million, accounting for  89% of consolidated sales, compared with
$773.0 million, or 88% of consolidated sales, in the first quarter of last
year. 
Of this $76.8 million or 10% increase in sales, approximately $30 million was
attributable to Penstock, DeMico and Adelsy, which were acquired subsequent to
last year's first quarter.  The Group's gross profit margins were lower than in
the prior year, but lower operating expenses as a percentage of sales more than
offset the decrease in gross profit margins.  As a result, Group earnings were
up 18% and its profit margin on sales increased by 2/10 of 1% compared with last
year's first quarter. The Group's Hamilton Hallmark, Time Electronics, Allied
Electronics and European operations posted improved performance.  The three
acquisitions noted above also contributed to the Group's improved
profitability. 

The Video Communication Group's first quarter sales, which represented 6% of
consolidated sales compared with 7% in last year's first quarter, were $56.2
million as compared with $57.9 million in the comparable period last year, due
to product transitioning from satellite TV decoders to more profitable DBS
(direct broadcast satellite) business.  Group earnings increased by 60% compared
with the prior year period due to this product mix transition.

The Electrical and Industrial Group's first quarter of 1995 sales, which
represented 5% of Avnet's consolidated  sales in both the current and prior
year's first quarters, were flat compared with 1994's first quarter.  The
Group's
profitability for the first quarter was somewhat improved over the prior year
period.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the first quarter of 1995, the Company generated $40.8 million from
income
before depreciation and other non-cash items, and used $26.2 million for working
capital needs resulting in $14.6 million of net cash flows from operations.  In
addition, the Company used $7.7 million for other normal business operations
including purchases of property, plant and equipment and other items.  This
resulted in $6.9 million being generated from normal business operations.  The
Company also used $35.1 million in connection with acquisitions, primarily
Penstock, including the payoff of almost $2.6 million of Penstock's outstanding
debt.  This overall net use of cash of $28.2 million was financed by a $38.5
million increase in bank debt offset by a $10.3 million increase in cash.

The Company's quick assets at September 30, 1994, totaled $665.9 million
compared
with $627.4 million at July 1, 1994, and exceeded the Company's current
liabilities by $244.8 million compared with a $251.3 million excess at July 1,
1994.  Working capital at September 30, 1994 was $927.4 million compared with
$888.0 million at July 1, 1994.  At the end of the first quarter, to support
each
dollar of current liabilities, the Company had $1.58 of quick assets and $1.62
of other current assets for a total of $3.20 of current assets compared with
$3.36 at July 1, 1994.


During the first quarter of 1995, shareholders' equity increased by $27.5
million
to $1,136.0 million at September 30, 1994, while long-term debt increased by
$38.2 million to $341.3 million.  As a result, the long-term debt to capital
(shareholder's equity plus long-term debt) ratio was 23.1% at September 30, 1994
compared with 21.5% at July 1, 1994.

At September 30, 1994, the Company did not have any material commitments for
capital expenditures.  The Company and the former owners of a Company-owned site
in Oxford, North Carolina have entered into a Consent Decree and Court Order
with
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the environmental clean-up of the
site, the cost of which, according to the EPA's remedial investigation and
feasibility study, is estimated to be approximately $6.3 million, exclusive of
the $1.5 million in EPA past costs paid by the potentially responsible parties
(PRP's).  Pursuant to a Consent Decree and Court Order entered into between the
Company and the former owners, the former owners have agreed to bear at least
70%
of the clean-up costs of the site, and the Company will be responsible for not
more than 30% of those costs.  The Company is also a PRP in an environmental
clean-up at a site in North Smithfield, Rhode Island and has had a claim made
against it by a third party with respect to a clean-up site in Hempstead, New
York.  In addition, the Company has received notice from a third party of its
intention to seek indemnification for costs it may incur in connection with an
environmental clean-up at a site in Rush, Pennsylvania resulting from the
alleged
disposal of wire insulation material at the site by a former unit of the
Company. 
Based upon the information known to date, the Company believes that it has
appropriately accrued in the financial statements for its share of the costs of
the clean-up at these sites.  The Company is also a PRP with respect to an
environmental clean-up site in Huguenot, New York.  At this time, the Company
cannot estimate the amount of its potential liability, if any, for clean-up
costs
in connection with this site, but does not anticipate that these matters or any
other contingent matters will have a material adverse impact on the Company's
financial condition, liquidity or results of operations,

The Company is not now aware of any commitments, contingencies or events within
its control which may significantly change its ability to generate sufficient
cash from internal or external sources to meet its needs.
