NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands except per share data)
(Unaudited)
Note A – Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Arrow Electronics, Inc. (the “company”) were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and results of operations at and for the periods presented. The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
These consolidated financial statements do not include all the information or notes necessary for a complete presentation and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2007, as well as the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2006, as filed in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Reclassification
Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Note B – Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Effective January 1, 2007, the company adopted Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 06-2, “Accounting for Sabbatical Leave and Other Similar Benefits Pursuant to FASB Statement No. 43, Accounting for Compensated Absences” (“EITF Issue No. 06-2”). EITF Issue No. 06-2 requires that compensation expense associated with a sabbatical leave, or other similar benefit arrangements, be accrued over the requisite service period during which an employee earns the benefit. Upon adoption, the company recognized a liability of $18,048 and a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings of $10,794, net of related taxes.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“Statement No. 157”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Statement No. 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and accordingly, does not require any new fair value measurements. Statement No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and should be applied prospectively, except for the provisions for certain financial instruments that should be applied retrospectively as of the beginning of the year of adoption. The transition adjustment of the difference between the carrying amounts and the fair values of those financial instruments should be recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. The company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the provisions of Statement No. 157.
Note C – Uncertain Tax Positions
Effective January 1, 2007, the company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There was not a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations as a result of the adoption of the provisions of FIN 48. At January 1, 2007, the company had a liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $43,308 (of which $42,631, if recognized, would favorably affect the company’s effective tax rate) and an accrual of $6,167 for the payment of related interest.
Interest costs related to unrecognized tax benefits are classified as a component of “Interest expense, net” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Penalties, if any, are recognized as a

(Unaudited)
component of “Selling, general and administrative expenses.” The company recognized $879 and $1,602 of interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits for the second quarter and first six months of 2007, respectively.
In many cases the company’s uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by relevant tax authorities. The following describes the open tax years, by major tax jurisdiction, as of January 1, 2007:
         
United States – Federal
  2001 – present
United States – State
  1998 – present

Includes federal as well as state or similar local jurisdictions, as applicable.
Note D – Acquisitions
Reference is made to Note 2 of the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 (“Note 2”) in which the company previously disclosed certain purchase price information, as well as the preliminary allocations of the net consideration paid arising out of the company’s acquisitions during 2006. The following acquisitions were accounted for as purchase transactions and, accordingly, results of operations were included in the company’s consolidated results from the dates of acquisition.
2007
On March 31, 2007, the company acquired from Agilysys, Inc. (“Agilysys”) substantially all of the assets and operations of their KeyLink Systems Group business (“KeyLink”) for a purchase price of $491,475 in cash, which included acquisition costs. The purchase price is subject to final adjustments based upon a closing audit. The company also entered into a long-term procurement agreement with Agilysys. KeyLink, a leading enterprise computing solutions distributor based in Cleveland, Ohio, has approximately 500 employees and provides complex solutions from industry leading manufacturers to more than 800 reseller partners. KeyLink has long-standing reseller relationships that provide the company with significant cross-selling opportunities. KeyLink’s highly experienced sales and marketing professionals strengthen the company’s existing relationships with value-added resellers (“VARs”) and position the company to attract new relationships. The integration of KeyLink into the company’s global enterprise computing solutions (“ECS”) business segment is expected to provide opportunities for synergies and cost savings. Total KeyLink sales for 2006, including estimated revenues associated with the above-mentioned procurement agreement, were approximately $1,600,000.
The acquisition of KeyLink was accounted for as a purchase transaction, and the preliminary purchase price was allocated to the preliminary estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of March 31, 2007. The company’s consolidated results of operations include the results of operations of KeyLink subsequent to March 31, 2007.

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the net consideration paid to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the KeyLink acquisition:
         
Accounts receivable, net
  $ 169,305  
Inventories
    47,471  
Prepaid expenses and other assets
    2,981  
Property, plant and equipment
    10,745  
Cost in excess of net assets of companies acquired
    460,541  
Accounts payable

Accrued expenses
    (2,509 )
 
     
 
       
Net consideration paid
  $ 491,475  
 
     
The preliminary allocation is subject to refinement as the company has not yet completed its evaluation of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including the final valuation of any potential intangible assets created through this acquisition or any final adjustments based upon the closing audit.
The cost in excess of net assets of companies acquired related to the KeyLink acquisition was recorded in the company’s global ECS business segment. Substantially all of the intangible assets related to the KeyLink acquisition are expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
The following tables summarize the company’s unaudited consolidated results of operations for the first six months of 2007, as well as the unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations of the company as though the KeyLink acquisition occurred on January 1, 2007:
                 
    For the Six Months Ended  
    June 30, 2007  
    As Reported     Pro Forma  
Sales
  $ 7,535,647     $ 7,832,170  
Net income

Net income per share:
               
Basic
  $ 1.58     $ 1.60  
Diluted
  $ 1.57     $ 1.58  
The unaudited proforma consolidated results of operations does not purport to be indicative of the results obtained if the above acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of 2007 or of those results that may be obtained in the future, and does not include any impact from the procurement agreement with Agilysys.
In June 2007, the company acquired the component distribution business of Adilam Pty. Ltd. (“Adilam”), a leading electronic component distributor in Australia and New Zealand. Total Adilam sales for 2006 were approximately $18,000. The impact of the acquisition of the component distribution business of Adilam was not material to the company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
2006
On November 30, 2006, the company acquired Alternative Technology, Inc. (“Alternative Technology”), which supports VARs in delivering solutions that optimize, accelerate, monitor, and secure end-user’s networks. Total Alternative Technology sales for 2006 were approximately $250,000.
On December 29, 2006, the company acquired InTechnology plc’s storage and security distribution business (“InTechnology”), which delivers storage and security solutions to VARs in the United Kingdom. Total InTechnology sales for 2006 were approximately $320,000.
As discussed in Note 2, the preliminary allocation of the net consideration paid for the Alternative Technology and InTechnology acquisitions (“2006 acquisitions”) is subject to refinement as the company

Electronics Funding Corporation (“AFC”), a wholly-owned, bankruptcy remote subsidiary. The program does not qualify for sale treatment under FASB Statement No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” Accordingly, the accounts receivable and related debt obligation remain on the company’s consolidated balance sheet. Interest on borrowings is based on a base rate or a commercial paper rate plus a spread, which is based on the company’s credit ratings (.225% at June 30, 2007). The facility fee related to the program was reduced from .175% to .125%.
The company had no outstanding borrowings under the program at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

Loss on Prepayment of Debt
During the first six months of 2006, the company redeemed the total amount outstanding of $283,184 principal amount ($156,354 accreted value) of its zero coupon convertible debentures due in 2021 (“convertible debentures”) and repurchased $4,125 principal amount of its 7% senior notes due in January 2007. The related loss on the redemption and repurchase, including any related premium paid, write-off of deferred financing costs, and cost of terminating a portion of the related interest rate swaps, aggregated $2,605 ($1,558 net of related taxes or $.01 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) and was recognized as a loss on prepayment of debt. As a result of these transactions, net interest expense was reduced by approximately $2,600 from the date of redemption and repurchase through the respective maturity dates.
Cross-Currency Swaps
In May 2006, the company entered into a cross-currency swap, which has a maturity date of July 2013, for approximately $100,000 or 78,281 (the “2006 cross-currency swap”) to hedge a portion of its net investment in euro-denominated net assets. The 2006 cross-currency swap is designated as a net investment hedge and effectively converts the interest expense on $100,000 of long-term debt from U.S. dollars to euros. Based on the foreign exchange rate at June 30, 2007, the company expects reduced interest expense of approximately $400 for the period from July 2007 through January 2008 (date that interest will reset). As the notional amount of the 2006 cross-currency swap is expected to equal a comparable amount of hedged net assets, no material ineffectiveness is expected. The 2006 cross-currency swap had a negative fair value of $6,211 and $3,218 at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
In October 2005, the company entered into a cross-currency swap, which has a maturity date of October 2010, for approximately $200,000 or 168,384 (the “2005 cross-currency swap”) to hedge a portion of its net investment in euro-denominated net assets. The 2005 cross-currency swap is designated as a net investment hedge and effectively converts the interest expense on $200,000 of long-term debt from U.S. dollars to euros. Based on the foreign exchange rate at June 30, 2007, the company expects reduced interest expense of approximately $700 for the period from April 2007 through October 2007 (date that interest will reset). As the notional amount of the 2005 cross-currency swap is expected to equal a comparable amount of hedged net assets, no material ineffectiveness is expected. The 2005 cross-currency swap had a negative fair value of $27,755 and $21,729 at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
The related unrealized gains and losses on these net investment hedges are recorded in “Foreign currency translation adjustment,” which is included in the shareholders’ equity section in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Interest Rate Swaps
The company utilizes interest rate swaps to manage its targeted mix of fixed and floating rate debt. The fair value of the interest rate swaps are included in “Other liabilities,” and the offsetting adjustment to the carrying value of the debt is included in “Long-term debt” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
In June 2004, the company entered into a series of interest rate swaps (the “2004 swaps”), with an aggregate notional amount of $300,000. The 2004 swaps modify the company’s interest rate exposure by effectively converting the fixed 9.15% senior notes to a floating rate, based on the six-month U.S. dollar LIBOR plus a spread (an effective rate of 9.68% and 9.73% at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively), and a portion of the fixed 6.875% senior notes to a floating rate also based on the six-month U.S. dollar LIBOR plus a spread (an effective rate of 7.22% and 7.50% at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively), through their maturities. The 2004 swaps are classified as fair value hedges and had a negative fair value of $6,722 and $3,245 at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

In November 2003, the company entered into a series of interest rate swaps (the “2003 swaps”), with an aggregate notional amount of $200,000. The 2003 swaps modify the company’s interest rate exposure by effectively converting the fixed 7% senior notes to a floating rate, based on the six-month U.S. dollar LIBOR plus a spread (an effective rate of 9.55% at December 31, 2006), through their maturities. The 2003 swaps were classified as fair value hedges and had a negative fair value of $185 at December 31, 2006. The 2003 swaps related to the 7% senior notes and expired in January 2007 upon the repayment of the 7% senior notes.

Note M – Contingencies
Reference is made to Note M of the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2007 (“Note M”), as well as Note 15 of the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 (“Note 15”), in which the company has previously disclosed certain environmental contingencies and related litigation arising out of the company’s purchase of Wyle Electronics (“Wyle”) in 2000 and certain litigation from its purchase of Tekelec in 2000.
Environmental and Related Matters
As discussed in Note M and Note 15, in 2000 the company assumed certain of the then outstanding obligations of Wyle, including Wyle’s obligation to indemnify the purchasers of its Laboratories division for environmental clean-up costs associated with any pre-1995 contamination or violation of environmental regulations. Under the terms of the company’s purchase of Wyle from the VEBA Group (“VEBA”), VEBA agreed to indemnify the company for, among other things, costs related to environmental pollution associated with Wyle, including those associated with Wyle’s sale of its Laboratories division. The company is currently engaged in clean up and/or investigative activities at Wyle sites in Huntsville, Alabama and Norco, California.
Characterization of the extent of contaminated groundwater continues at the site in Huntsville and approximately $1,400 has been spent to date. Though the complete scope of the characterization effort and

the design of any remedial action are not yet known, the additional expenditures at the site are estimated between $3,500 and $5,400.
Regarding the Norco site, work under the May 2004 Removal Action Work Plan pertaining to the remediation of contaminated groundwater at certain previously identified areas of the site continues. The company currently estimates that additional cost of interim remediation under the Removal Action Work Plan ranges from $160 to $350. Work under a second Removal Action Work Plan, pertaining to the interim remediation of certain areas immediately adjacent to the site, is also under way, with a total completion cost currently estimated at between $150 and $200. Additional onsite remediation-related activities also continue, with estimated additional implementation costs of $600.
Additional characterization activities also continue at Norco, with estimated remaining implementation costs of $2,500 to $3,000. Current estimates for the expense of activities such as onsite and offsite ground water monitoring, regulatory oversight, and project management during 2007 are between $1,200 to $2,000.
Preliminary removal action plans for source control related to offsite contamination were submitted to the California Department of Toxic Substance Control early in 2006, and the review and discussion of such measures is ongoing. The costs of implementing these plans and the potential interim actions to address indoor air quality issues are estimated between $3,000 and $5,000.
Despite the amount of work undertaken and planned to date, the complete scope of work under the consent decree is not yet known, and, accordingly, the associated costs not yet determined.
The litigation associated with these environmental liabilities (Gloria Austin, et al. v. Wyle Laboratories, Inc. et al., and the other claims of plaintiff Norco landowners and residents which were consolidated with it; Arrow’s actions against E.ON, successor to VEBA, and Wyle for the judicial enforcement of the various indemnification provisions; and Arrow’s claim against a number of insurers on policies relevant to the Wyle sites) is ongoing and unresolved. The litigation is described more fully in Note 15 and Item 3 of Part I of the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. The company has received an opinion of counsel that the recovery of costs incurred to date which are covered under the contractual indemnifications associated with the environmental clean-up costs related to the Norco and Huntsville sites, is probable. Based on the opinion of counsel, the company increased the receivable for amounts due from E.ON AG by $3,168 during the first six months of 2007 to $20,868. The company’s net costs for such indemnified matters may vary from period to period as estimates of recoveries are not always recognized in the same period as the accrual of estimated expenses.
Other
From time to time, in the normal course of business, the company may become liable with respect to other pending and threatened litigation, environmental, regulatory, and tax matters. While such matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, it is not currently anticipated that any such other matters will have a material adverse impact on the company’s financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.
Note N – Segment and Geographic Information

Effective April 1, 2007, the company’s business segments were realigned as part of the company’s continued efforts to strengthen its market leadership position, streamline the business, and further leverage cost synergies globally. The company’s global components business was formed to bring a single, global organization to leverage the collective enterprise to speed services and solutions to customers and suppliers. The company’s global ECS business was formed to bring a single organization with an expanded geographic reach, increased exposure in faster growing product segments, and a more robust customer and supplier base. As a result, the UK Microtronica, ATD (in Spain), and Arrow Computer Products (in France) businesses, previously included in the computer products business segment, were transitioned into the company’s global components business segment. As a result of this realignment, global components and global ECS are the business segments upon which management primarily evaluates the operations of the company and upon which it bases its operating decisions. Prior period segment data was adjusted to conform to the current period presentation.
Effective January 1, 2007, stock option expense, which was previously included in corporate, has been allocated to global components, global ECS, and corporate. Prior period segment data was adjusted to conform with the current period presentation.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview
The company has two business segments: global components and global enterprise computing solutions (“ECS”). Consolidated sales for the second quarter of 2007 grew by 17.5%, compared with the year-earlier period, primarily as a result of the impact of acquisitions, the company’s increased focus on sales-related initiatives, and the impact of a weaker U.S. dollar on the translation of the company’s international financial statements. This increase was offset, in part, by continued weakness at large electronic manufacturing services (“EMS”) customers in the global components segment. The acquisitions of Alternative Technology, Inc. (“Alternative Technology”) and InTechnology plc’s storage and security distribution business (“InTechnology”), which were completed in the fourth quarter of 2006, and the acquisition from Agilysys, Inc. (“Agilysys”) of substantially all of the assets and operations of their KeyLink Systems Group business (“KeyLink”) on March 31, 2007, contributed sales of $571.4 million in the second quarter of 2007. On a pro forma basis, which includes Alternative Technology, InTechnology, and KeyLink in the second quarter of 2006, consolidated sales for the second quarter of 2007 increased by 4.7%. In the global ECS business segment, sales for the second quarter of 2007 grew by 103.1%, compared with the year-earlier period, primarily due to the acquisitions of Alternative Technology, InTechnology, and KeyLink. On a pro forma basis, which includes Alternative Technology, InTechnology, and KeyLink in the second quarter of 2006, the global ECS business segment sales for the second quarter of 2007 grew by 21.7%, compared with the year-earlier period, primarily due to growth in storage, software, and industry standard servers offset, in part, by lower market demand for proprietary servers. In the global components business segment, sales for the second quarter of 2007 decreased by 1.5%, compared with the year-earlier period, primarily due to continued weakness at large EMS customers, offset, in part, by the impact of a weaker U.S. dollar on the translation of the company’s international financial statements.
The company acquired KeyLink from Agilysys for a purchase price of $491.5 million in cash, which included acquisition costs. The purchase price is subject to final adjustments based upon a closing audit. The company also entered into a long-term procurement agreement with Agilysys. KeyLink, a leading enterprise computing solutions distributor based in Cleveland, Ohio, has approximately 500 employees and provides complex solutions from industry leading manufacturers to more than 800 reseller partners. KeyLink has long-standing reseller relationships that provide the company with significant cross-selling opportunities. KeyLink’s highly experienced sales and marketing professionals strengthen the company’s existing relationships with value-added resellers and position the company to attract new relationships. The integration of KeyLink into the company’s global ECS business segment is expected to provide opportunities for synergies and cost savings. Total KeyLink sales for 2006, including estimated revenues associated with the above-mentioned procurement agreement, were approximately $1.6 billion.
The acquisition of KeyLink was accounted for as a purchase transaction, and the preliminary purchase price was allocated to the preliminary estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of March 31, 2007. The company’s consolidated results of operations include the results of operations of KeyLink subsequent to March 31, 2007.
Net income increased to $99.2 million in the second quarter of 2007, compared with net income of $92.8 million in the second quarter of 2006. The increase in net income was due to increased gross profit on higher sales and a lower effective tax rate, offset, in part, by increased selling, general and administrative expenses to support the increase in sales, higher depreciation and amortization expense, primarily related to acquisitions, and higher interest expense, primarily related to acquisitions, in the second quarter of 2007, compared with the year-earlier period. The following items also impacted the comparability of the company’s results:
Second quarter of 2007 and 2006:
   
restructuring charges of $2.9 million ($2.0 million net of related taxes) in 2007 and $3.1 million ($1.9 million net of related taxes) in 2006; and
 
   
an integration charge of $.5 million ($.3 million net of related taxes) in 2007.

Table of Contents

First six months of 2007 and 2006:
   
a net restructuring credit of $5.3 million ($3.8 million net of related taxes) in 2007 and a restructuring charge of $4.6 million ($2.8 million net of related taxes) in 2006;
 
   
an integration charge of $2.6 million ($1.6 million net of related taxes) in 2007; and
 
   
a loss on the prepayment of debt of $2.6 million ($1.6 million net of related taxes) in 2006.
Sales
Consolidated sales for the second quarter and first six months of 2007 increased by $601.1 million, or 17.5%, and $906.2 million, or 13.7%, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods. The increase in consolidated sales over the second quarter of 2006 was driven by an increase of $644.5 million, or 103.1%, in the global ECS business segment, offset by a decrease of $43.5 million, or 1.5%, in the global components business segment. The increase in consolidated sales over the first six months 2006 was driven by an increase of $845.6 million, or 74.4%, in the global ECS business segment and an increase of $60.6 million, or 1.1%, in the global components business segment.
In the global ECS business segment, sales for the second quarter of 2007 increased by 103.1%, compared with the year-earlier period, primarily due to the acquisitions of Alternative Technology, InTechnology, and KeyLink. On a pro forma basis, which includes Alternative Technology, InTechnology, and KeyLink in the second quarter of 2006, the global ECS business segment sales for the second quarter of 2007 grew by 21.7%, compared with the year-earlier period, primarily due to the growth in storage, software, and industry standard servers, offset, in part, by lower market demand for proprietary servers. In the global ECS business segment, sales for the first six months of 2007 increased by 74.4%, compared with the year-earlier period, primarily due to the acquisitions of Alternative Technology, InTechnology, and KeyLink. On a pro forma basis, which includes Alternative Technology, InTechnology, and KeyLink in the first six months of 2006, the global ECS business segment sales for the first six months of 2007 grew by 1.3%, compared with the year-earlier period, primarily due to the growth in storage, software, and industry standard servers, offset, in part, by lower market demand for proprietary servers.
In the global components business segment, sales for the second quarter of 2007 decreased by 1.5%, compared with the year-earlier period, primarily due to continued weakness at large EMS customers, offset, in part, by the impact of a weaker U.S. dollar on the translation of the company’s international financial statements. In the global components business segment, sales for the first six months of 2007 increased by 1.1%, compared with the year-earlier period, primarily due to strong performance of the small-to-medium sized customers and the impact of a weaker U.S. dollar on the translation of the company’s international financial statements, offset, in part, by continued weakness at large EMS customers.
The translation of the company’s international financial statements into U.S. dollars resulted in increased sales of $79.6 million and $179.8 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2007, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods, due to a weaker U.S. dollar. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, the company’s sales would have increased by 15.2% and 11.0% for the second quarter and first six months of 2007, respectively.
Gross Profit
The company recorded gross profit of $579.0 million and $1.12 billion in the second quarter and first six months of 2007, compared with $524.4 million and $1.01 billion in the year-earlier periods. The gross profit margin for the second quarter and first six months of 2007 decreased by approximately 90 and 40 basis points, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods. The decrease in gross profit margin is primarily due to the acquisitions of Alternative Technology, InTechnology, and KeyLink, which have lower gross profit margins, offset, in part, by improved margins in the company’s small-to-medium sized customer base in the global components business segment. Excluding the impact of these acquisitions, the gross profit margin for the second quarter and first six months of 2007 would have decreased by approximately 10 basis points and increased by approximately 20 basis points, respectively, compared with the year-earlier periods.

Restructuring and Integration Charges (Credit)
Restructurings
The company recorded a restructuring charge of $2.9 million ($2.0 million net of related taxes or $.02 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) and a net restructuring credit of $5.3 million ($3.8 million net of related taxes or $.03 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) for the second quarter and first six months of 2007, respectively, and a restructuring charge of $3.1 million ($1.9 million net of related taxes or $.02 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) and $4.6 million ($2.8 million net of related taxes or $.02 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) for the second quarter and first six months of 2006, respectively.
Included in the restructuring charge referenced above for the second quarter of 2007 is $3.8 million related to initiatives by the company to improve operating efficiencies, offset, in part, by a $.5 million gain on the sale of a facility. Included in the net restructuring credit referenced above for the first six months of 2007 is an $8.5 million gain on the sale of a facility, offset, in part, by restructuring charges of $4.3 million for the first six months of 2007 related to initiatives by the company to improve operating efficiencies.
The company, during 2003 through 2006, announced a series of steps to make its organizational structure more efficient. The cumulative restructuring charges associated with these actions total $73.5 million, which includes restructuring credits of $.1 million and $.6 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2007, respectively, and restructuring charges of $3.1 million and $4.8 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2006, respectively. Included in the restructuring credits above for the second quarter and first six months of 2007 is a $.5 million gain on the sale of a facility. Approximately 80% of the total charge was spent in cash.
At June 30, 2007, $4.3 million of the previously discussed charges were accrued but unused, of which $3.0 million are for personnel costs and $1.3 million are to address remaining facilities commitments.
Also in the second quarter and first six months of 2007, the company recorded a restructuring credit against the accrual related to the 2001 restructuring of $.2 million and $.6 million, respectively. In the second quarter and first six months of 2006, the company recorded a restructuring credit of $19 thousand and $.1 million, respectively, against the accrual. At June 30, 2007, $3.1 million was accrued but unused, of which $.9 million is to address remaining real estate lease commitments and $2.2 million primarily relates to the termination of certain customer programs.
Integration
The company recorded a net integration charge of $.5 million ($.3 million net of related taxes) and $2.6 million ($1.6 million net of related taxes or $.01 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) for the second quarter and first six months of 2007, respectively, primarily related to the acquisition of KeyLink. Additionally, the company recorded $.8 million as additional cost in excess of net assets of companies acquired associated with the acquisition of KeyLink for the second quarter and first six months of 2007.
At June 30, 2007, $5.9 million of integration charges were accrued but unused, of which $.9 million are for personnel costs, $1.8 million is to address remaining real estate commitments and $3.2 million is to address various other obligations.
Restructuring and Integration Summary
The remaining balances of the restructuring and integration accruals aggregate $13.3 million at June 30, 2007, of which $11.1 million is expected to be spent in cash, and are expected to be utilized as follows:
-  
The personnel costs accruals of $3.9 million to cover costs associated with the termination of personnel, which are primarily expected to be spent through 2007.
 
-  
The facilities accruals totaling $4.0 million relate to vacated leases with expiration dates and scheduled payments through 2010 of $1.1 million in 2007, $1.3 million in 2008, $1.1 million in 2009, and $.6 million in 2010.

-  
The customer termination accrual of $2.2 million relates to costs associated with the termination of certain customer programs primarily associated with services not traditionally provided by the company and is expected to be utilized over several years.
 
-  
Other accruals of $3.2 million are expected to be utilized over several years.
Operating Income
The company recorded operating income of $173.2 million and $335.8 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2007, respectively, as compared with operating income of $163.1 million and $312.4 million in the year-earlier periods.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $37.1 million, or 10.7%, in the second quarter of 2007 on a sales increase of 17.5% compared with the second quarter of 2006, and $81.5 million, or 12.1%, in the first six months of 2007 on a sales increase of 13.7% compared with the first six months of 2006. The dollar increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter and first six months of 2007 compared with the year-earlier periods, was due to selling, general and administrative expenses incurred by Alternative Technology, InTechnology, and KeyLink of $26.9 million and $39.3 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2007, respectively, higher selling expenses to support increased sales, and the impact of foreign exchange rates. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales was 9.5% and 10.1% for the second quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively, and 10.0% and 10.1% for the first six months of 2007 and 2006, respectively. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales in the second quarter and first six months of 2007 compared with the year-earlier periods, was primarily due to the acquisitions of Alternative Technology, InTechnology, and KeyLink, which have lower selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales.
Loss on Prepayment of Debt
During the first six months of 2006, the company redeemed the total amount outstanding of $283.2 million principal amount ($156.4 million accreted value) of its zero coupon convertible debentures due in 2021 (“convertible debentures”) and repurchased $4.1 million principal amount of its 7% senior notes due in January 2007. The related loss on the redemption and repurchase, including any related premium paid, write-off of deferred financing costs, and cost of terminating a portion of the related interest rate swaps, aggregated $2.6 million ($1.6 million net of related taxes or $.01 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) and was recognized as a loss on prepayment of debt. As a result of these transactions, net interest expense was reduced by approximately $2.6 million from the date of redemption and repurchase through the respective maturity dates.
Interest Expense
Net interest expense increased 16.8% and 6.5% in the second quarter and first six months of 2007, compared with the year-earlier periods. The increase in net interest expense was primarily a result of the acquisitions.
Income Taxes
The company recorded an income tax provision of $46.5 million and $91.0 million on income before income taxes and minority interest of $146.8 million and $288.4 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2007, respectively. In the comparable year-earlier periods, the company recorded an income tax provision of $47.1 million and $88.7 million on income before income taxes and minority interest of $140.2 million and $263.8 million, respectively.
The income taxes recorded for the second quarter and first six months of 2007 were impacted by the previously discussed restructuring charge (credit) and integration charges. The income taxes recorded for the second quarter and first six months of 2006 were impacted by the previously discussed restructuring charges and the income taxes recorded for the first six months of 2006 were impacted by the previously discussed loss on prepayment of debt. The company’s income tax provision and effective tax rate is impacted by, among other factors, the statutory tax rates in the countries in which it operates, and the related level of income generated by these operations.

Net Income
The company recorded net income of $99.2 million and $195.5 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2007, respectively, compared with $92.8 million and $174.3 million in the comparable year-earlier periods. The increase in net income was due to increased gross profit on higher sales and a lower effective tax rate, offset, in part, by increased selling, general and administrative expenses to support the increase in sales, higher depreciation and amortization expense, primarily related to acquisitions, and higher interest expense, primarily related to acquisitions, in the second quarter and first six months of 2007, as compared with the year-earlier periods. In addition, included in the results for the second quarter and first six months of 2007 were the previously discussed restructuring charge of $2.0 million and net restructuring credit of $3.8 million and integration charges of $.3 million and $1.6 million and included in the results for the second quarter and first six months of 2006 were restructuring charges of $1.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Also included for the first six months of 2006 was the previously discussed loss on prepayment of debt of $1.6 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $279.0 million and $337.7 million, respectively. The net amount of cash provided by the company’s operating activities during the first six months of 2007 was $458.9 million primarily due to earnings from operations, adjusted for non-cash items, a reduction in inventory, and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, offset, in part, by an increase in accounts receivable supporting increased sales. The net amount of cash used for investing activities during the first six months of 2007 was $544.2 million primarily reflecting $496.1 million of cash consideration paid for acquired businesses and $61.4 million for capital expenditures, offset, in part, by $13.0 million of cash proceeds from the sale of facilities. The net amount of cash provided by financing activities during the first six months of 2007 was $24.4 million, including $198.6 million of net proceeds from long-term borrowings, $46.4 million of cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options and $6.7 million related to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, offset, in part, by $169.1 million to repay senior notes, a $25.4 million change in short-term borrowings, and $32.8 million to repurchase common stock. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash was an increase of $2.2 million.
The net amount of cash utilized in the company’s operating activities during the first six months of 2006 was $130.8 million, primarily due to increased inventory purchases and increased accounts receivable supporting increased sales in the global components businesses, offset, in part, by earnings from operations, adjusted for non-cash items, and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses. The net amount of cash used for investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $43.9 million, primarily reflecting $27.5 million for various capital expenditures and $19.5 million for cash consideration paid for acquired businesses. The net amount of cash used for financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $78.2 million, including $160.6 million used to repurchase convertible debentures and senior notes and $15.7 million in other long-term debt repayments, offset by $53.1 million for proceeds from the exercise of stock options, a change in short-term borrowings of $38.5 million, and $6.4 million relating to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash was an increase of $2.2 million.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The company historically has maintained a significant investment in accounts receivable and inventories. As a percentage of total assets, accounts receivable and inventories were approximately 62.5% and 66.0% at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
The net amount of cash provided by the company’s operating activities during the first six months of 2007 was $458.9 million primarily due to earnings from operations, adjusted for non-cash items, a reduction in inventory, and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, offset, in part, by an increase in accounts receivable supporting increased sales. Working capital as a percentage of sales was 15.3% in the second quarter of 2007 compared with 18.7% in the second quarter of 2006.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities
In June 2007, the company acquired the component distribution business of Adilam Pty. Ltd. (“Adilam”), a leading electronic component distributor in Australia and New Zealand. Total Adilam sales for 2006 were approximately $18.0 million. The impact of the acquisition of the component distribution business of Adilam was not material to the company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In March 2007, the company acquired KeyLink, a leading enterprise computing solutions distributor based in Cleveland, Ohio, for a cash purchase price of $491.5 million, which included acquisition costs.
In February 2006, the company acquired SKYDATA Corporation (“SKYDATA”), a value-added distributor of data storage solutions with sales for 2005 of approximately $43.0 million. The impact of the SKYDATA acquisition was not material to the company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
During the first quarter of 2006, the company made a payment of $3.4 million that was capitalized as cost in excess of net assets of companies acquired, partially offset by the carrying value of the related minority interest, to increase its ownership interest in a majority-owned subsidiary.
Capital expenditures were $61.4 million and $27.5 million in the first six months of 2007 and 2006, respectively. During the fourth quarter of 2006, the company initiated a global enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) effort to standardize processes worldwide and adopt best-in-class capabilities. Implementation is expected to be phased-in over the next several years. For the full year 2007, the estimated cash flow impact of this ERP initiative is expected to be in the $70 to $80 million range. The company expects to finance this ERP effort from cash flow from operations.
The company received cash proceeds of $13.0 million during the first six months of 2007, primarily related to the sale of its Lenexa, Kansas and Harlow, England facilities.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net proceeds from long-term borrowings were $198.6 million in the first six months of 2007, which includes a $200.0 million term loan due in 2012. Net repayments of short-term debt were $25.4 million, and net proceeds of short-term debt were $38.5 million in the first six months of 2007 and 2006, respectively. Repayments of other long-term borrowings were $15.7 million in the first six months of 2006. Proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $46.4 million and $53.1 million in the first six months of 2007 and 2006, respectively. Repurchases of common stock were $32.8 million in the first six months of 2007.
During the first six months of 2007, the company repaid $169.1 million related to its 7% senior notes due in January 2007 in accordance with their terms.
During the first six months of 2006, the company redeemed the total amount outstanding of $283.2 million principal amount ($156.4 million accreted value) of its convertible debentures and repurchased $4.1 million principal amount of its 7% senior notes due in January 2007. The related loss on the redemption and repurchase, including any related premium paid, write-off of deferred financing costs, and cost of terminating a portion of the related interest rate swaps, aggregated $2.6 million ($1.6 million net of related taxes or $.01 per share on both a basic and diluted basis). As a result of these transactions, net interest expense was reduced by approximately $2.6 million from the date of redemption and repurchase through the respective maturity dates.
In March 2007, the company renewed its asset securitization program (the “program”) and, among other things, increased the size of the program from $550.0 million to $600.0 million and extended the term of the program to a three-year commitment maturing in March 2010. Interest on borrowings is based on a base rate or a commercial paper rate plus a spread, which is based on the company’s credit ratings (.225% at June 30, 2007). The facility fee related to the program was reduced from ..175% to .125%.
The company had no outstanding borrowings under its asset securitization program or its revolving credit facility at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

Contractual Obligations
The company has contractual obligations for long-term debt, interest on long-term debt, capital leases, operating leases, purchase obligations, and certain other long-term liabilities that were summarized in a table of Contractual Obligations in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Since December 31, 2006, there were no material changes to the contractual obligations of the company, outside of the ordinary course of the company’s business, except as follows:
   
the company repaid $169.1 million related to its 7% senior notes, due in January 2007, in accordance with their terms;
 
   
at June 30, 2007, the company had a $200.0 million term loan outstanding which is due in 2012; and
 
   
in July 2007, the company made a payment of $32.7 million to increase its ownership interest in Ultra Source Technology Corp. from 70.7% to 92.8%.
Also, as discussed in Note C of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). At January 1, 2007, the company had a liability for unrecognized tax benefits and an accrual for the payment of related interest totaling $49.5 million, of which approximately $7 million is expected to be paid within one year. For the remaining liability, the company is unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate when cash settlement with a taxing authority will occur.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The company has no off-balance sheet financing or unconsolidated special purpose entities.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the company to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The company evaluates its estimates, including those related to uncollectible receivables, inventories, intangible assets, income taxes, restructuring and integration costs, and contingencies and litigation, on an ongoing basis. The company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances; the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The company believes there were no significant changes, during the three-month period ended June 30, 2007, to the items disclosed as Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
See Note B of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a full description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the anticipated dates of adoption and effects on results of operations and financial condition.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
There were no material changes in market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates from the information provided in Item 7A — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, except as follows:
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
The notional amount of the foreign exchange contracts at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was $330.6 million and $298.0 million, respectively. The carrying amounts, which are nominal, approximated fair value at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The translation of the financial statements of the non-United States operations is impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The increase in consolidated sales and operating income was impacted by the translation of the company’s international financial statements into U.S. dollars which resulted in increased sales of $179.8 million and increased operating income of $10.5 million for the first six months of 2007, compared with the year-earlier period, based on 2006 sales at the average rate for 2007. Sales and operating income would have decreased by $246.6 million and $10.0 million, respectively, if average foreign exchange rates had declined by 10% against the U.S. dollar in the first six months of 2007. This amount was determined by considering the impact of a hypothetical foreign exchange rate on the sales and operating income of the company’s international operations.
In May 2006, the company entered into a cross-currency swap, which has a maturity date of July 2013, for approximately $100.0 million or 78.3 million (the “2006 cross-currency swap”) to hedge a portion of its net investment in euro-denominated net assets. The 2006 cross-currency swap is designated as a net investment hedge and effectively converts the interest expense on $100.0 million of long-term debt from U.S. dollars to euros. Based on the foreign exchange rate at June 30, 2007, the company expects reduced interest expense of approximately $.4 million for the period from July 2007 through January 2008 (date that interest will reset). As the notional amount of the 2006 cross-currency swap is expected to equal a comparable amount of hedged net assets, no material ineffectiveness is expected. The 2006 cross-currency swap had a negative fair value of $6.2 million and $3.2 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
In October 2005, the company entered into a cross-currency swap, which has a maturity date of October 2010, for approximately $200.0 million or 168.4 million (the “2005 cross-currency swap”) to hedge a portion of its net investment in euro-denominated net assets. The 2005 cross-currency swap is designated as a net investment hedge and effectively converts the interest expense on $200.0 million of long-term debt from U.S. dollars to euros. Based on the foreign exchange rate at June 30, 2007, the company expects reduced interest expense of approximately $.7 million for the period from April 2007 through October 2007 (date that interest will reset). As the notional amount of the 2005 cross-currency swap is expected to equal a comparable amount of hedged net assets, no material ineffectiveness is expected. The 2005 cross-currency swap had a negative fair value of $27.8 million and $21.7 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
Interest Rate Risk
At June 30, 2007, approximately 53% of the company’s debt was subject to fixed rates, and 47% of its debt was subject to floating rates. A one percentage point change in average interest rates would not materially impact interest expense, net of interest income, in the second quarter of 2007. This was determined by considering the impact of a hypothetical interest rate on the company’s average floating rate on investments and outstanding debt. This analysis does not consider the effect of the level of overall economic activity that could exist. In the event of a change in the level of economic activity, which may adversely impact interest rates, the company could likely take actions to further mitigate any potential negative exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that might be taken and their possible effects, the sensitivity analysis assumes no changes in the company’s financial structure.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, 2007. Based on such evaluation, they concluded that, as of June 30, 2007, the company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
On March 31, 2007, the company acquired from Agilysys, Inc. substantially all of the assets and operations of their KeyLink Systems Group business (“KeyLink”). The company has excluded changes resulting from the acquisition of KeyLink from its evaluation of the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2007. KeyLink accounted for 10.5 percent of the company’s consolidated assets as of June 30, 2007, and 5.1 percent of the company’s consolidated sales for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Transition of Business and Financial Systems
During the second quarter of 2007, the company completed the process of installing certain modules in select operations in the Asia Pacific region as part of a phased implementation schedule associated with the design of a new global financial system. The implementation of the new global financial system involves changes to the company’s procedures for control over financial reporting. The company followed a system implementation life cycle process that required significant pre-implementation planning, design, and testing. The company also conducted extensive post-implementation monitoring, testing, and process modifications to ensure the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, and the company has not experienced significant difficulties in the results to date in connection with the implementation or operations of the new financial system. There were no other changes in the company’s internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that materially affect, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, the company’s internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this quarterly report.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There were no material changes to the company’s risk factors as discussed in Item 1A — Risk Factors in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
In February 2006, the Board authorized the company to repurchase up to $100,000,000 of the company’s outstanding common stock through a share-repurchase program. In March 2007, the company announced a Rule 10b5-1 plan to facilitate repurchases under the share-repurchase program. The purpose of the share-repurchase program is to partially offset the dilutive effect of the issuance of common stock upon the exercise of stock options. Purchases under the share-repurchase program may be made from time to time, as market and business conditions warrant, in accordance with applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The following table shows the share-repurchase activity for each of the three months in the quarter ended June 30, 2007:
