Providing guidance on the March 2003 quarter and the balance of the fiscal year, Vallee stated, "Avnet should cross over into slight revenue growth for the enterprise year-over-year in the March 2003 quarter, although revenues will likely fall sequentially due to seasonal factors.

(1) The results for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2003
    shown above include the impact of incremental special charges
    recorded in connection with the company's continuing cost
    reduction initiatives. The charges related to (a) severance for
    workforce reductions, (b) reserves for non-cancelable lease
    obligations, write-downs of the carrying value of owned facilities
    and write-downs of owned assets located in these leased and owned
    facilities, and (c) costs related to write-offs of certain
    IT-related initiatives. The special charges amounted to $106.7
    million pre-tax (all of which is included in selling, general and
    administrative expenses), $65.8 million after-tax and $0.55 per
    diluted share.

(1) The company has an accounts receivable securitization program
    whereby it sells an interest in a pool of its trade accounts
    receivable to third-party conduits through a wholly owned
    bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity that is consolidated for
    financial reporting purposes. The purpose of the program is to
    provide the company with an additional source of liquidity at
    interest rates more favorable than it could receive through other
    forms of financing. At Dec. 27, 2002 and June 28, 2002, the
    company had sold $50.0 million and $200.0 million, respectively,
    of receivables under the program. This is reflected as a reduction
    of receivables, with the proceeds used to pay down debt, in the
    above consolidated balance sheets.
