Note A – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Arrow Electronics, Inc. (the "company" or "Arrow") 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 of the information or notes necessary for a complete presentation and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the company's audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2009, as filed in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Quarter End

The company operates on a quarterly reporting calendar that closes on the Saturday following the end of the calendar quarter.

Reclassification

Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Note B – Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-13, "Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements" ("ASU No. 2009-13"). ASU No. 2009-13 amends guidance included within Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 605-25 to require an entity to use an estimated selling price when vendor specific objective evidence or acceptable third party evidence does not exist for any products or services included in a multiple element arrangement. The arrangement consideration should be allocated among the products and services based upon their relative selling prices, thus eliminating the use of the residual method of allocation. ASU No. 2009-13 also requires expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures regarding significant judgments made and changes in applying this guidance. ASU No. 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption and retrospective application are also permitted. The company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the provisions of ASU No. 2009-13.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-14, "Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements" ("ASU No. 2009-14"). ASU No. 2009-14 amends guidance included within ASC Topic 985-605 to exclude tangible products containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality. Entities that sell joint hardware and software products that meet this scope exception will be required to follow the guidance of ASU No. 2009-13. ASU No. 2009-14 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption and retrospective application are also permitted. The company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the provisions of ASU No. 2009-14.

Note C – Acquisitions

The results of operations of the below acquisitions were included in the company's consolidated results from their respective dates of acquisition.

2010

On April 5, 2010, the company announced that it acquired Verical, Inc., an ecommerce business geared towards meeting the end-of-life components and parts shortage needs of customers.

In April 2010, the company announced an agreement to acquire Converge, a leading provider of reverse logistics services, headquartered in Peabody, Massachusetts. Converge, with approximately 350 employees, also has offices in Singapore and Amsterdam, with support centers throughout Europe, Asia, and the Americas. This transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2010.

2009

On December 20, 2009, the company acquired A.E. Petsche Company, Inc. ("Petsche"), a leading provider of interconnect products, including specialty wire, cable, and harness management solutions, to the aerospace and defense markets. Petsche provides value-added distribution services to over 3,500 customers in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France, and Belgium. Total Petsche sales for 2009 were approximately $190,000.

The following table summarizes the company's unaudited consolidated results of operations for the first quarter of 2009, as well as the unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations of the company, as though the Petsche acquisition occurred on January 1, 2009:

	Quarter Ended April 4, 2009
	As Reported		Pro Forma

Sales	$	3,417,428	$	3,468,935
Net income attributable to shareholders		26,741		30,245
Net income per share:
Basic	$	.22	$	.25
Diluted	$	.22	$	.25

The unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations does not purport to be indicative of the results obtained had the Petsche acquisition occurred as of the beginning of 2009, or of those results that may be obtained in the future. Additionally, the above table does not reflect any anticipated cost savings or cross-selling opportunities expected to result from this acquisition.

Other

Amortization expense related to identifiable intangible assets was $4,644 and $3,824 for the first quarters of 2010 and 2009, respectively.

In March 2010, the company made a payment of $3,060 to increase its ownership in a majority-owned subsidiary. The payment was recorded as a reduction to capital in excess of par value, partially offset by the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest.

7.5% senior debentures, due 2027		208,000		208,000

The carrying amount of the company's short-term borrowings, bank term loan, and other obligations approximate their fair value.

The company has an $800,000 revolving credit facility with a group of banks that matures in January 2012. Interest on borrowings under the revolving credit facility is calculated using a base rate or a euro currency rate plus a spread based on the company's credit ratings (.425% at April 3, 2010). The facility fee related to the credit facility is .125%.

The company has a $300,000 asset securitization program collateralized by accounts receivables of certain of its North American subsidiaries which expires in March 2011. The asset securitization program is conducted through Arrow Electronics Funding Corporation, a wholly-owned, bankruptcy remote subsidiary. The asset securitization program does not qualify for sale treatment. Accordingly, the accounts receivable and related debt obligation remain on the company's consolidated balance sheet. Interest on borrowings is calculated using a base rate or commercial paper rate plus a spread, which is based on the company's credit ratings (.60% at April 3, 2010). The facility fee is ..50%.

The company had no outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility or asset securitization program at April 3, 2010 and December 31, 2009. Both programs include terms and conditions that limit the incurrence of additional borrowings, limit the company's ability to pay cash dividends or repurchase stock, and require that certain financial ratios be maintained at designated levels. The company was in

Interest and other financing expense, net, includes interest income of $339 and $1,631 for the first quarters of 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Note H – Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The company utilizes a fair value hierarchy, which maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy has three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2

Quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3

Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

The following table presents assets/(liabilities) measured at fair value on a recurring basis at April 3, 2010:

Interest Rate Swaps

The company enters into interest rate swap transactions that convert certain fixed-rate debt to variable-rate debt or variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt in order to manage its targeted mix of fixed- and floating-rate debt. The effective portion of the change in the fair value of interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges are recorded as a change to the carrying value of the related hedged debt, and the effective portion of the change in fair value of interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in the shareholders' equity section in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in "Other." The ineffective portion of the interest rate swap, if any, is recorded in "Interest and other financing expense, net" in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

In June 2004, the company entered into interest rate swaps, with an aggregate notional amount of $200,000, of which $130,455 was terminated in 2009 upon the repayment of a portion of the underlying debt. The 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 4.75% and 4.94% at April 3, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively), through its maturity. The swaps are classified as fair value hedges and had a fair value of $1,405 and $2,036 at April 3, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

(Dollars in thousands except per share data)

(Unaudited)

In June 2004 and November 2009, the company entered into interest rate swaps, with an aggregate notional amount of $275,000. The swaps modify the company's interest rate exposure by effectively converting a portion of the fixed 6.875% senior notes to a floating rate, based on the six-month U.S. dollar LIBOR plus a spread (an effective rate of 4.04% and 4.18% at April 3, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively), through its maturity. The swaps are classified as fair value hedges and had a fair value of $10,086 and $9,556 at April 3, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Cross-Currency Swaps

The company enters into cross-currency swaps to hedge a portion of its net investment in euro-denominated net assets. The company’s cross-currency swaps are derivatives designated as net investment hedges. The effective portion of the change in the fair value of derivatives designated as net investment hedges is recorded in "Foreign currency translation adjustment" included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and any ineffective portion is recorded in "Interest and other financing expense, net" in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As the notional amounts of the company’s cross-currency swaps are expected to equal a comparable amount of hedged net assets, no material ineffectiveness is expected. The company uses the hypothetical derivative method to assess the effectiveness of its net investment hedges on a quarterly basis.

In May 2006, the company entered into a cross-currency swap, with a maturity date of July 2011, 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 effectively converts the interest expense on $100,000 of long-term debt from U.S. dollars to euros. The 2006 cross-currency swap had a negative fair value of $6,177 and $12,497 at April 3, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

In October 2005, the company entered into a cross-currency swap, with 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 effectively converts the interest expense on $200,000 of long-term debt from U.S. dollars to euros. The 2005 cross-currency swap had a negative fair value of $27,917 and $41,943 at April 3, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Foreign Exchange Contracts

The company enters into foreign exchange forward, option, or swap contracts (collectively, the "foreign exchange contracts") to mitigate the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These contracts are executed to facilitate the hedging of foreign currency exposures resulting from inventory purchases and sales and generally have terms of no more than six months. Gains or losses on these contracts are deferred and recognized when the underlying future purchase or sale is recognized or when the corresponding asset or liability is revalued. The company does not enter into foreign exchange contracts for trading purposes. The risk of loss on a foreign exchange contract is the risk of nonperformance by the counterparties, which the company minimizes by limiting its counterparties to major financial institutions. The fair value of the foreign exchange contracts, which are nominal, are estimated using market quotes. The notional amount of the foreign exchange contracts at April 3, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $322,997 and $294,928, respectively.

Other

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short maturities of these financial instruments.

Cash equivalents consist primarily of overnight time deposits and institutional money market funds with quality financial institutions. These financial institutions are located in many different geographical regions, and the company's policy is designed to limit exposure with any one institution. As part of its cash and risk management processes, the company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions.

Note I – Restructuring, Integration, and Other Charges

During the first quarters of 2010 and 2009, the company recorded restructuring, integration, and other charges of $7,437 ($5,545 net of related taxes or $.05 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) and $24,018 ($16,069 net of related taxes or $.13 per share on both a basic and diluted basis), respectively.

The restructuring charge of $5,189 for the first quarter of 2010 primarily includes personnel costs of $4,844 and facilities costs of $201. The personnel costs are related to the elimination of approximately 55 positions within the global components business segment and approximately 10 positions within the global ECS business segment. The facilities costs are related to exit activities for 4 vacated facilities in Europe due to the company's continued efforts to streamline its operations and reduce real estate costs. These initiatives are due to the company's continued efforts to lower cost and drive operational efficiency.

Note M – Contingencies

Environmental and Related Matters

In 2000, the company assumed certain of the then outstanding obligations of Wyle Electronics ("Wyle"), including Wyle's obligation to indemnify the purchasers of its Laboratories division for environmental clean-up costs associated with 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 the Wyle sites in Huntsville, Alabama and Norco, California.

Characterization of the extent of contaminated soil and groundwater continues at the site in Huntsville, and approximately $3,000 was spent to date. The company currently estimates additional investigative and related expenditures at the site of approximately $500 to $1,000, depending on the results of which the cost of subsequent remediation is estimated to be between $2,500 and $4,000.

At the Norco site, approximately $29,000 was expended to date on project management, regulatory oversight, and investigative and feasibility study activities, providing the technical basis for a final Remedial Investigation Report that was submitted to California oversight authorities during the first quarter of 2008.

Remedial activities underway include the remediation of contaminated groundwater at certain areas on the Norco site and of soil gas in a limited area immediately adjacent to the site, and a hydraulic containment system that captures and treats groundwater before it moves into the adjacent offsite area. Approximately $8,000 was spent on these activities to date, and it is anticipated that these activities, along with the initial

ARROW ELECTRONICS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands except per share data)

(Unaudited)

phases of the treatment of contaminated groundwater offsite and remaining Remedial Action Work Plan costs, will cost an additional $9,650 to $19,250.

The company currently estimates that the additional cost of project management and regulatory oversight on the Norco site will range from $500 to $750. Ongoing remedial investigations (including costs related to soil and groundwater investigations), and the preparation of a final remedial investigation report are projected to cost between $400 to $700.

Despite the amount of work undertaken and planned to date, the complete scope of work in connection with the Norco site is not yet known, and, accordingly, the associated costs not yet determined.

In October 2005, the company filed suit against E.ON AG in the Frankfurt am Main Regional Court in Germany. The suit seeks indemnification, contribution, and a declaration of the parties’ respective rights and obligations in connection with the related litigation and other costs associated with the Norco site. In its answer to the company’s claim filed in March 2009 in the German proceedings, E.ON AG filed a counterclaim against the company for approximately $16,000. The litigation is currently suspended while the company engages in a court-facilitated mediation with E.ON AG. The mediation commenced in December 2009 and will continue well into 2010. The company believes it has reasonable defenses to the counterclaim and plans to defend its position vigorously. The company believes that the ultimate resolution of the counterclaim will not have a material adverse impact on the company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.

During the second quarter of 2009, the company entered into binding settlement agreements resolving several of the lawsuits associated with the above-mentioned environmental liabilities (Gloria Austin, et al. v. Wyle Laboratories, Inc. et al., the other claims of plaintiff Norco landowners and residents which were consolidated with it, and an action by Wyle Laboratories, Inc. for defense and indemnification in connection with the Austin and related cases). Arrow's actions against E.ON AG, successor to VEBA, 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 are 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, 2009.

The company believes that the recovery of costs incurred to date associated with the environmental clean-up costs related to the Norco and Huntsville sites is probable. Accordingly, the company increased the receivable for indemnified amounts due from E.ON AG by $902 during the first quarter of 2010 to $41,814. 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, labor, product, and tax matters. While such matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, it is not currently anticipated that any such matters will have a material impact on the company's consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Overview

Arrow Electronics, Inc. (the "company") is a global provider of products, services, and solutions to industrial and commercial users of electronic components and enterprise computing solutions. The company provides one of the broadest product offerings in the electronic components and enterprise computing solutions distribution industries and a wide range of value-added services to help customers reduce time to market, lower their total cost of ownership, introduce innovative products through demand creation opportunities, and enhance their overall competitiveness. The company has two business segments, the global components business segment and the global enterprise computing solutions ("ECS") business segment. The company distributes electronic components to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") and contract manufacturers ("CMs") through its global components business segment and provides enterprise computing solutions to value-added resellers ("VARs") through its global ECS business segment. For the first quarter of 2010, approximately 74% of the company's sales were from the global components business segment, and approximately 26% of the company's sales were from the global ECS business segment.

Operating efficiency and working capital management remain a key focus of the company's business initiatives to grow sales faster than the market, grow profits faster than sales, and increase return on invested capital. To achieve its financial objectives, the company seeks to capture significant opportunities to grow across products, markets, and geographies. To supplement its organic growth strategy, the company continually evaluates strategic acquisitions to broaden its product offerings, increase its market penetration, and/or expand its geographic reach. Cash flow needed to fund this growth is primarily expected to be generated through continuous corporate-wide initiatives to improve profitability and increase effective asset utilization.

On December 20, 2009, the company acquired A.E. Petsche Company, Inc. ("Petsche"). Results of operations of Petsche were included in the company's consolidated results from the date of acquisition within the company's global components business segment.

Consolidated sales for the first quarter of 2010 increased by 23.9%, compared with the year-earlier period, due to a 33.4% increase in the global components business segment sales and a 3.3% increase in the global ECS business segment sales. On a proforma basis, which includes Petsche as though this acquisition occurred on January 1, 2009, consolidated sales increased 22.1%. The translation of the company's international financial statements into U.S. dollars resulted in increased consolidated sales of $75.4 million for the first quarter of 2010, compared with the year-earlier period, due to a weaker U.S. dollar. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, the company's consolidated sales increased by 21.3% for the first quarter of 2010.

Net income attributable to shareholders increased to $87.0 million in the first quarter of 2010, compared with net income attributable to shareholders of $26.7 million in the year-earlier period. The following items impacted the comparability of the company's results for the first quarters of 2010 and 2009:

restructuring, integration, and other charges of $7.4 million ($5.5 million net of related taxes) in 2010 and $24.0 million ($16.1 million net of related taxes) in 2009.

Excluding the above-mentioned items, the increase in net income attributable to shareholders for the first quarter of 2010 was primarily the result of the sales increases in both the global components business segment and the global ECS business segment, increased gross profit margins, reduced selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales due to the company's continuing efforts to streamline and simplify processes, as well as decreased net interest and other financing expense.

Substantially all of the company's sales are made on an order-by-order basis, rather than through long-term sales contracts. As such, the nature of the company's business does not provide for the visibility of material forward-looking information from its customers and suppliers beyond a few months. In connection

with Oracle Corporation's recently completed acquisition of Sun Microsystems, Inc., Oracle has publicly announced that it intends to transition Sun's indirect sales model to a mixed direct and indirect sales model. The company is currently evaluating the potential effects of this change and is prepared to take the necessary steps to align its operating structure and costs in the event there is a meaningful change in business.

Sales

Following is an analysis of net sales by reportable segment (in millions):

	Quarter Ended
	April 3, 2010		April 4, 2009		% Change

Global components	$	3,128	$	2,345		33.4	%
Global ECS		1,107		1,072		3.3	%
Consolidated	$	4,235	$	3,417		23.9	%

Consolidated sales for the first quarter of 2010 increased by $817.9 million, or 23.9%, compared with the year-earlier period. The increase was driven by an increase in the global components business segment sales of $783.0 million, or 33.4%, and an increase in the global ECS business segment sales of $34.9 million, or 3.3%. On a proforma basis, which includes Petsche as though this acquisition occurred on January 1, 2009, consolidated sales for the first quarter of 2010 increased 22.1%. The translation of the company's international financial statements into U.S. dollars resulted in increased consolidated sales of $75.4 million for the first quarter of 2010, compared with the year-earlier period, due to a weaker U.S. dollar. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, the company's consolidated sales increased by 21.3% for the first quarter of 2010.

In the global components business segment, sales for the first quarter of 2010 increased primarily due to strength in all three of the company's regional businesses as a result of strengthening in the world's economies and, to a lesser extent, the impact of a weaker U.S. dollar on the translation of the company's international financial statements. On a proforma basis, which includes Petsche as though this acquisition occurred on January 1, 2009, global components business segment sales for the first quarter of 2010 increased 30.5%. The growth in the global components business segment for the first quarter of 2010 was primarily driven by the sales increase in the Americas of 29.0%, the sales increase in EMEA of 27.0%, the sales increase in Asia/Pacific of 38.6%, and, to a lesser extent, the acquisition of Petsche. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, the company's global components business segment sales increased by 30.2% for the first quarter of 2010.

In the global ECS business segment, the sales for the first quarter of 2010 increased primarily due to higher demand for products and the impact of a weaker U.S. dollar on the translation of the company's international financial statements. The increase in sales for the first quarter of 2010 was due to growth in storage, software, and services, offset, in part, by declines in proprietary servers. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, the company's global ECS business segment sales increased by 1.6% for the first quarter of 2010.

Gross Profit

The company recorded gross profit of $537.9 million in the first quarter of 2010, compared with $431.0 million in the year-earlier period. The increase in gross profit was primary due to the 23.9% increase in sales during the first quarter of 2010. The gross profit margin for the first quarter of 2010 increased by approximately 10 basis points, compared with the year-earlier period. The increase in gross profit as a percent of sales was primarily due to increasing gross profit in the global components business offset, in part, by lower gross profit in the global ECS business, compared with the year-earlier period. The gross

profit margins of products sold in the global components business segment are typically higher than the profit margins of products in the global ECS business segment.

Restructuring, Integration, and Other Charges

The personnel costs are related to the elimination of approximately 55 positions within the global components business segment and approximately 10 positions within the global ECS business segment. The facilities costs are related to exit activities for 4 vacated facilities in Europe due to the company's continued efforts to streamline its operations and reduce real estate costs. These initiatives are due to the company's continued efforts to lower cost and drive operational efficiency.

2009 Charges

The company recorded restructuring, integration, and other charges of $24.0 million ($16.1 million net of related taxes or $.13 per share on both a basic and diluted basis) for the first quarter of 2009.

These initiatives are due to the company's continued efforts to lower cost and drive operational efficiency.

Operating Income

The company recorded operating income of $145.3 million in the first quarter of 2010, as compared with operating income of $61.2 million in the year-earlier period. Included in operating income for the first quarters of 2010 and 2009 were the previously discussed restructuring, integration, and other charges of $7.4 million and $24.0 million, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $37.6 million, or 11.4%, in the first quarter of 2010 on a sales increase of 23.9% compared with the first quarter of 2009. The dollar increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to higher selling, general and administrative expenses to support the increased sales, the impact of foreign exchange rates, and selling, general and administrative expenses incurred by Petsche, which was acquired in December 2009. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales for the first quarter of 2010 decreased to 8.7% from 9.6% in the year-earlier period, primarily due to the company's continuing efforts to streamline and simplify processes.

Interest and Other Financing Expense

Net interest and other financing expense decreased by 17.1% in the first quarter of 2010 to $19.1 million compared with $23.0 million in the first quarter of 2009, primarily due to lower interest rates on the company’s variable rate debt.

Income Taxes

The company recorded a provision for income taxes of $40.3 million (an effective tax rate of 31.6%) for the first quarter of 2010. The company's provision for income taxes and effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2010 was impacted by the previously discussed restructuring, integration, and other charges. Excluding the impact of the previously discussed restructuring, integration, and other charges the company's effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2010 was 31.3%.

The company recorded a provision for income taxes of $11.8 million (an effective tax rate of 30.6%) for the first quarter of 2009.

Excluding the impact of the previously discussed restructuring, integration, and other charges the company's effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2009 was 31.6%.

The company's provision for income taxes and effective tax rate are 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 Attributable to Shareholders

The company recorded net income attributable to shareholders of $87.0 million in the first quarter of 2010, compared with net income attributable to shareholders of $26.7 million in the year-earlier period. Included in net income attributable to shareholders for the first quarters of 2010 and 2009 were the previously discussed restructuring, integration, and other charges of $5.5 million and $16.1 million, respectively. Excluding the above-mentioned items, the increase in net income attributable to shareholders for the first quarter of 2010 was primarily the result of the sales increases in both the global components business segment and the global ECS business segment, increased gross profit margins, reduced selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales due to the company's continuing efforts to streamline and simplify processes, as well as decreased net interest and other financing expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At April 3, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $810.1 million and $1.14 billion, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2010, the net amount of cash used for the company's operating activities was $282.2 million, the net amount of cash used for investing activities was $23.8 million, and the net amount of cash provided by financing activities was $11.3 million. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash was a decrease of $32.3 million.

During the first quarter of 2009, the net amount of cash provided by the company's operating activities was $230.7 million, the net amount of cash used for investing activities was $36.9 million, and the net amount of cash used for financing activities was $16.0 million. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash was a decrease of $10.5 million.

The company maintains a significant investment in accounts receivable and inventories. As a percentage of total assets, accounts receivable and inventories were approximately 61.1% and 58.4% at April 3, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

The net amount of cash used for the company's operating activities during the first quarter of 2010 was $282.2 million and was primarily due to an increase in inventory and a reduction in accounts payable and accrued expenses offset, in part, by earnings from operations, adjusted for non-cash items.

The net amount of cash provided by the company's operating activities during the first quarter of 2009 was $230.7 million primarily due to earnings from operations, adjusted for non-cash items, and a reduction in accounts receivable and inventory, offset, in part, by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Working capital as a percentage of sales was 12.4% in the first quarter of 2010 compared with 14.0% in the first quarter of 2009.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

The net amount of cash used for investing activities during the first quarter of 2010 was $23.8 million, primarily reflecting $3.1 million of cash consideration paid for acquired businesses and $27.5 million for capital expenditures, offset, in part, by proceeds from the sale of facilities of $6.8 million. Included in capital expenditures is $16.8 million related to the company's global enterprise resource planning ("ERP") initiative.

The net amount of cash used for investing activities during the first quarter of 2009 was $36.9 million, primarily reflecting $36.8 million for capital expenditures, which includes $26.1 million of capital expenditures related to the company's global ERP initiative.

During 2006, the company initiated a global 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 2010, the estimated cash flow impact of this initiative is expected to be in the $40 to $60 million range with the impact decreasing by approximately $10 million in 2011. The company expects to finance these costs with cash flows from operations.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

The net amount of cash provided by financing activities during the first quarter of 2010 was $11.3 million. The primary sources of cash from financing activities during the first quarter of 2010 were $1.6 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options, a $14.2 million increase in short-term borrowings, and $1.8 million related to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation arrangements. The primary use of cash for financing activities included $6.2 million of repurchases of common stock.

The net amount of cash used for financing activities during the first quarter of 2009 was $16.0 million. The primary use of cash for financing activities during the first quarter of 2009 included an $12.3 million decrease in short-term borrowings, a $2.1 million shortfall in tax benefits from stock-based compensation arrangements, and $2.1 million of repurchases of common stock. The primary source of cash from financing activities was $.6 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

The company has an $800.0 million revolving credit facility with a group of banks that matures in January 2012. Interest on borrowings under the revolving credit facility is calculated using a base rate or a euro currency rate plus a spread based on the company's credit ratings (.425% at April 3, 2010). The facility fee related to the credit facility is .125%.

The company has a $300.0 million asset securitization program collateralized by accounts receivable of certain of its North American subsidiaries which expires in March 2011. Interest on borrowings is calculated using a base rate or a commercial paper rate plus a spread, which is based on the company's credit ratings (.60% at April 3, 2010). The facility fee is .50%.

the incurrence of additional borrowings, limit the company's ability to pay cash dividends or repurchase stock, and require that certain financial ratios be maintained at designated levels. The company was in compliance with all covenants as of April 3, 2010 and is currently not aware of any events that would cause non-compliance with any covenants in the future.

Management believes that company's current cash availability, its current borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility and asset securitization program, its expected ability to generate future operating cash flows, and the company's access to capital markets are sufficient to meet its projected cash flow needs for the foreseeable future.

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, 2009. Since December 31, 2009, there were no material changes to the contractual obligations of the company, outside the ordinary course of the company’s business.

Share-Repurchase Program

In March 2010, the company announced its Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $100 million of the company's common stock in such amounts as to offset the dilution from the granting of equity-based compensation awards. As of April 3, 2010, the company has not repurchased any common stock under the plan.

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 on an ongoing basis. The company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed 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.

There were no significant changes during the first quarter of 2010 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, 2009.

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, 2009, except as follows:

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

The notional amount of the foreign exchange contracts at April 3, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $323.0 million and $294.9 million, respectively. The fair values of foreign exchange contracts, which are nominal, are estimated using market quotes. The translation of the financial statements of the non-United States operations is impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The change in consolidated sales and operating income was impacted by the translation of the company's international financial statements into U.S. dollars. This resulted in increased sales and operating income of $75.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively, for the first quarter of 2010, compared with the year-earlier period, based on 2009 sales and operating income at the average rate for 2010. Sales and operating income would decrease by approximately $132.0 million and $5.3 million, respectively, if average foreign exchange rates declined by 10% against the U.S. dollar in the first quarter of 2010. These amounts were 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, with a maturity date of July 2011, 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. 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 $12.5 million at April 3, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

In October 2005, the company entered into a cross-currency swap, with 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. 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 $27.9 million and $41.9 million at April 3, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Interest Rate Risk

At April 3, 2010, approximately 56% of the company's debt was subject to fixed rates, and 44% of its debt was subject to floating rates. A one percentage point change in average interest rates would not materially impact net interest and other financing expense in the first quarter of 2010. 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.

In June 2004, the company entered into interest rate swaps, with an aggregate notional amount of $200.0 million, of which $130.5 million was terminated in 2009 upon the repayment of a portion of the underlying debt. The 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 4.75% and 4.94% at April 3, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively), through its maturity. The swaps are classified as fair value hedges and had a fair value of $1.4 million and $2.0 million at April 3, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

In June 2004 and November 2009, the company entered into interest rate swaps, with an aggregate notional amount of $275.0 million. The swaps modify the company's interest rate exposure by effectively converting a portion of the fixed 6.875% senior notes to a floating rate, based on the six-month U.S. dollar LIBOR plus a spread (an effective rate of 4.04% and 4.18% at April 3, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively), through its maturity. The swaps are classified as fair value hedges and had a fair value of $10.1 million and $9.6 million at April 3, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
