REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Kent Electronics Corporation
We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Kent Electronics Corporation and Subsidiaries as of
March 31, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, cash Öows and stockholders' equity for
each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2001. These Ñnancial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Ñnancial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the Ñnancial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Ñnancial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and signiÑcant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall Ñnancial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the Ñnancial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated Ñnancial position of Kent Electronics Corporation and Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2001 and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash Öows for each of the two years in the period ended
March 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
