Diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2000, both including and excluding special items, is greater by $0.08 than the sum of the applicable amounts for each of the four quarters due primarily to the effect of the issuance of shares in connection with the acquisitions of Marshall Industries and SEI Eurotronics.

The prior year's fourth quarter included the net gain associated with the decision to exit the printed catalog business consisting of the gain on the sale of Allied Electronics, offset somewhat by charges recorded in connection with the disposition Act of disposing; transferring to the care or possession of another.

"Our earnings per share reached a record high in the fourth quarter even though we have not yet achieved all of the expected benefits resulting from our recently completed strategic acquisitions."

Vallee also commented, "CMG's fourth quarter results have improved dramatically as compared with the third quarter. In addition, Avnet Applied Computing computing - computer  contributed another successful earnings quarter despite its sales being negatively impacted by the inability of certain suppliers to provide the product necessary to meet customer demand."
