Our Americas team excelled, increasing revenue by nearly 12 percent and operating income by 10 percent over the prior year. In EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and export sales For the third consecutive year, technology solution providers chose Tech Data as the overall “preferred source,” according to the 2005 CRN Sourcing Study, published by the leading to Africa), we faced challenges and responded by initiating a significant restructuring U.S. reseller channel program to drive recovery and establish a solid foundation for our long-term future trade publication. in this region. STRO N G AM ERICAS R ES U LTS Diligent pricing and margin management, excellent service and strong customer engagement enabled our Americas team to profitably grow our business during the year. We did well managing the credit we extend to customers, minimizing bad debt expense and maximizing selling potential. E-business advances, focused cost control and continuous improvement through- out our Americas operations also contributed to our leading position in this region. Our strong Americas growth during the fiscal year was supported by many product categories, including wireless solutions, digital imaging, printers, notebooks, point-of-sale systems, components, storage and security software. For the third consecutive year, technology solution providers chose Tech Data as the overall “preferred source,” according to the 2005 CRN Sourcing Study, published by the leading U.S. reseller channel trade publication. TH E RIGHT COU RSE IN EM EA We began the fiscal year in EMEA with disappointing results, as first-quarter sales declined approximately 4 percent on a local- currency basis compared to the prior-year period, and operating income dropped below our expectations. While the weak demand in EMEA contributed to our operating income short- fall, internal issues also caused distractions that hampered our team from running the daily business at top speed: most notably, a major systems upgrade project—already well in progress across the region—and further integrating operations from an acquired company. We moved forward in the second quarter with a comprehensive restructuring program to optimize our EMEA cost structure while strengthening purchasing, pricing and sales management practices. Although cutting costs was a major goal of the program, given 2 0 0 6 A n n u a l R e p o r t 3 our market share decline, we clearly needed to address customer engagement programs as well. In fact, on a shorter-term basis, we made shoring up our market position a top priority to regain the confidence of our customers, business partners and employees. After intensifying our focus on service levels and customer satisfaction, as well as market share, we began to win back business and improve operating performance. Sales in local currency rebounded from negative growth in the first and second quarters to approximately 3 percent in the seasonally strong fourth quarter—accelerating over 22 percent on a sequential basis. Operating performance increased steadily as a percent of sales during the third and fourth quarters, with our EMEA region generating nearly $50 million in operating income for the fiscal year, excluding charges related to the restructuring program and related consulting fees. WHY TECH DATA We believe the earnings potential of Tech Data is much greater than our overall results demonstrated this fiscal year. The reasons for our confidence extend beyond the progress we made during the year and anticipate in the Americas and EMEA going forward. Today’s pervasive trend toward outsourcing signifies major opportunity for our industry. Manufacturers and publishers rely heavily on specialists in areas ranging from design and production to call center operations, technical support and logistics management. The rationale is simple. Why try to do everything well internally when other companies perform these functions upon demand at exceptionally low cost? Distribution represents a prime case in point. Consider the vast infrastructure and targeted Technology solution providers depend on Tech Data for fast, convenient access to a comprehensive product offering that services that we proficiently provide, with selling, general and administrative (SG&A) includes the latest expenses of just 4 percent of sales.

These statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties and actual results could differ materially from those projected. These forward-looking statements regard- ing future events and the future results of Tech Data Corporation are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and pro- jections about the industries in which we operate and the beliefs and assumptions of our management. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “targets,” “goals,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” variations of such words, and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth and trends in our businesses, and other characterizations of future events or circumstances, are forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned that these forward-looking statements are only pre- dictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Readers are referred to the cautionary statements and important factors discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2006 for further information. We undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include the following: • competition • narrow profit margins • dependence on information systems • restructuring activities • acquisitions • exposure to natural disasters, war and terrorism • dependence on independent shipping companies • labor strikes • risk of declines in inventory value • product availability • vendor terms and conditions • loss of significant customers • need for liquidity and capital resources; fluctuations in interest rates • foreign currency exchange rates; exposure to foreign markets • potential asset impairments from declines in operating performance • changes in income tax and other regulatory legislation • changes in accounting rules • volatility of common stock price OVERVIEW Tech Data is a leading distributor of information technology (“IT”) products, logistics management and other value-added services. We distribute microcomputer hardware and software products to value-added resellers, corporate resellers, direct marketers and retailers. Our offering of value-added customer services includes training and technical support, external financing options, configuration services, outbound telemarketing, market- ing services and a suite of electronic commerce solutions. We manage our business in two geographic segments: the Americas (includes the United States, Canada, Latin America and export sales to the Caribbean) and EMEA (includes Europe, the Middle East and export sales to Africa). Our strategy is to leverage our efficient cost structure com- bined with our multiple service offerings to generate demand and cost efficiencies for our suppliers and customers around the world. The IT distribution industry in which we operate is characterized by narrow gross profit as a percentage of sales (“gross margin”) and narrow income from operations as a percentage of sales (“operating margin”). Historically, our gross and operating mar- gins have been impacted by intense price competition, as well as changes in terms and conditions with our suppliers, including those terms related to rebates and other incentives and price protection. We expect these competitive pricing pressures to continue in the foreseeable future, and therefore, we will continue to evaluate our pricing policies and terms and conditions offered to our customers in response to changes in our vendors’ terms and conditions and the general market environment. As we con- tinue to evaluate our existing pricing policies and make future changes, if any, we may experience moderated sales growth or sales declines. In addition, increased competition and changes in general economic conditions within the markets in which we con- duct business may hinder our ability to maintain and/or improve gross margin from its current level. 2 0 0 6 A n n u a l R e p o r t 9 In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, in order to dedicate strate- gic efforts and resources to core growth opportunities, we made the decision to sell the EMEA Training Business (the “Training Business”). In March 2006, we closed the sale of the Training Business to a third party for total cash consideration of $16.5 million and $0.5 million of additional consideration which is con- tingent upon the satisfaction of certain post-closing conditions. Our results of operations for the Training Business have been reclassified and presented as “income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax” in our Consolidated Statement of Opera- tions for all periods presented. The reclassification of the Training Business had the effect of reducing previously reported gross margin and SG&A as a percentage of sales by approximately .20% to .23% of consolidated net sales for all periods restated. The impact on previously reported operating margin was relatively insignificant. The assets and liabilities of the Training Business have not been reclassified in our January 31, 2006 Consolidated Balance Sheet as the net assets of the Training Business are less than 0.5% of the total consolidated net assets of the Company. From a balance sheet perspective, we require working capital primarily to finance accounts receivable and inventory. We have historically relied upon debt, trade credit from our vendors, and accounts receivable financing programs for our working capital needs. We believe our balance sheet at January 31, 2006 was one of the strongest in the industry, with a debt to capital ratio (calcu- lated as total debt divided by the aggregate of total debt and total shareholders’ equity) of 12%. Our business continues to perform well in the Americas; how- ever, we have been disappointed with our results in EMEA. In May 2005, in response to a weaker demand environment in EMEA, we announced a formal restructuring program for our EMEA opera- tions (further discussed below). We believe our challenges in the EMEA region over the last several quarters are the result of a combination of factors, including somewhat weaker demand con- ditions in certain countries, competitive pricing pressures, declining average selling prices and, most notably, the diverted focus of our management team in the region. Specifically, the combined effect of the completion of the final phases of our comprehensive IT systems upgrade and harmonization project, further integration of our Azlan operations and, most recently, the implementation of our EMEA restructuring program, diverted the focus of our man- agement team in the region from executing appropriate pricing, purchasing and sales management practices. We are beginning to see the benefits from our actions to restructure and optimize our operations in the EMEA region. These actions have included: engaging external consultants to provide a fresh perspective and detailed recommendations, such as the implementation of a new, simplified EMEA management organi- zational structure; assigning dedicated resources across the region to improve our pricing, purchasing and sales management prac- tices; and implementing our restructuring program. In addition, both the Azlan integration and our IT systems upgrade and harmonization project were substantially complete at the end of fiscal 2006, which is expected to alleviate further diversion of management resources to these initiatives. With respect to our restructuring program, we have recorded charges for workforce reductions and the optimization of facilities and systems. Excluding external consulting costs, total cash charges associated with the restructuring program are estimated to be in the range of $40.0 million to $50.0 million, comprised of $24.0 to $30.0 million related to workforce reductions and $16.0 to $20.0 million related to the optimization of facilities and systems. We expect initiatives related to the restructuring program to gen- erate annualized savings in the same range. Through January 31, 2006, the Company has incurred $30.9 million related to the restructuring program, comprised of approximately $18.9 million related to workforce reductions and approximately $12.0 million for facility costs. The remaining charges are expected to be incurred over the next three quarters with all U.S. dollar amounts being approximated using an exchange rate of .837 euros per U.S. dollar. Costs related to the restructuring program have been funded by operating cash flows and our credit facilities. Costs recorded in each quarter may vary depending upon the timing of certain actions. The costs related to this restructuring program, other than the external consulting costs, are reflected within the Consolidated Statement of Operations as “restructuring charges,” which is a component of operating income. In addition, during the nine months ended January 31, 2006, the Company incurred approximately $9.6 million of external consulting costs related to the restructuring program. These consulting costs are included in “selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company expects to continue to incur external consulting costs related to the restructuring pro- gram in fiscal 2007. These consulting costs, along with the costs of internal personnel dedicated to the implementation of the restructuring program and other incremental costs indirectly related to the restructuring program, will partially offset the savings we expect to realize from the EMEA restructuring program during fiscal year 2007 (see further discussion below and in Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for related discussion of our restructuring program).  T e c h D a t a C o r p o r a t i o n a n d S u b s i d i a r i e s 1 0 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES The information included within MD&A is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventory, vendor incentives, goodwill and intangible assets, deferred taxes, and con- tingencies. Our estimates and judgments are based on currently available information, historical results, and other assumptions we believe are reasonable. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. We believe the following critical accounting poli- cies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Accounts Receivable We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. In estimating the required allowance, we take into consideration the overall quality and aging of the receivable port- folio, the existence of credit insurance and specifically identified customer risks. Also influencing our estimates are the following: (1) the large number of customers and their dispersion across wide geographic areas; (2) the fact that no single customer accounts for more than 5% of our net sales; (3) the value and adequacy of collateral received from customers, if any and (4) our historical loss experience. If actual customer performance were to deteriorate to an extent not expected by us, additional allowances may be required which could have an adverse effect on our consolidated financial results. Inventory We value our inventory at the lower of its cost or market value, with cost being determined on the first-in, first-out method. We write down our inventory for estimated obsolescence equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated mar- ket value based upon an aging analysis of the inventory on hand, specifically known inventory-related risks (such as technological obsolescence and the nature of vendor terms surrounding price protection and product returns), foreign currency fluctuations for foreign-sourced product, and assumptions about future demand. Market conditions or changes in terms and conditions by our ven- dors that are less favorable than those projected by management may require additional inventory write-downs, which could have an adverse effect on our consolidated financial results. Vendor Incentives We receive incentives from vendors related to cooperative advertising allowances, infrastructure funding, volume rebates and other incentive agreements. These incentives are generally under quarterly, semiannual or annual agreements with the ven- dors; however, some of these incentives are negotiated on an ad hoc basis to support specific programs mutually developed with the vendor. Unrestricted volume rebates and early payment discounts received from vendors are recorded as a reduction of inventory upon receipt of funds and as a reduction of cost of products sold as the related inventory is sold. Incentives received from vendors for specifically identified cooperative advertising programs and infrastructure funding are recorded as adjustments to selling, general and administrative expenses, and any reim- bursement in excess of the related cost is recorded in the same manner as unrestricted volume rebates, as discussed above. Actual rebates may vary based on volume or other sales achievement levels, which could result in an increase or reduction in the estimated amounts previously accrued. We also provide reserves for receivables on vendor programs for estimated losses resulting from vendors’ inability to pay or rejections of claims by vendors. Should amounts recorded as outstanding receivables from vendors be uncollectible, additional allowances may be required which could have an adverse effect on our consolidated financial results. Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed at least annually for impairment and may also be reviewed more frequently if current events and circumstances indicate a possible impairment. An impairment loss is charged to expense in the period identified. We also examine the carrying value of our intangible assets with finite lives, which includes capitalized software and development costs, purchased intangibles, and other long-lived assets as current events and circumstances warrant determining whether there are any impairment losses. If indicators of impairment are present and future cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the assets’ carrying amount, an impairment loss is charged to expense in the period identified. Factors that may cause a goodwill, intan- gible asset or other long-lived asset impairment include negative industry or economic trends and significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results. Our val- uation methodologies include, but are not limited to, estimating 2 0 0 6 A n n u a l R e p o r t 1 1 the net present value of the projected cash flows of our reporting units. If actual results are substantially lower than our projections underlying these assumptions, or if market discount rates substan- tially increase, our future valuations could be adversely affected, potentially resulting in future impairment charges. Income Taxes We record valuation allowances to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. In assessing the adequacy of a recorded valuation allowance, we consider all positive and negative evidence and a variety of factors, including the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, historical and projected future taxable income, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. If we determine we would be able to use a deferred tax asset in the future in excess of its net carrying value, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be made to reduce income tax expense, thereby increasing net income in the period such determination was made. Should we determine that we are unable to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be made to income tax expense, thereby reducing net income in the period such determination was made. However, the recognition of any future tax benefit resulting from the reduction of the $6.3 million valuation allowance associated with the purchase of Azlan would be recorded as a reduction of goodwill. Contingencies We accrue for contingent obligations, including estimated legal costs, when the obligation is probable and the amount is reason- ably estimable. As facts concerning contingencies become known, we reassess our position and make appropriate adjustments to the financial statements. Estimates that are particularly sensitive to future changes include those related to tax, legal, and other regulatory matters such as imports and exports, the imposition of international governmental controls, changes in the interpretation and enforcement of international laws (in particular related to items such as duty and taxation), and the impact of local eco- nomic conditions and practices, which are all subject to change as events evolve and as additional information becomes available during the administrative and litigation process.

On a regional basis, during fiscal 2006, net sales in the Americas increased by 11.6% over fiscal 2005 and decreased by 2.0% in EMEA (decrease of 0.6% on a euro basis). Our performance in the Americas is primarily due to stronger sales to direct marketers and retailers and a general improvement in demand for IT prod- ucts and services compared to the prior year, somewhat offset by declining average selling prices of many products we sell. As pre- viously discussed in this MD&A, our performance in EMEA can be attributed to a combination of factors, including somewhat weaker demand conditions in certain countries, competitive pricing pres- sures resulting in declining average selling prices and, most notably, the diverted focus of our management team in the region. During fiscal 2005, we saw our consolidated net sales grow to $19.7 billion, a 13.7% increase over fiscal 2004. This growth can be attributed to strong demand in both the Americas and EMEA. Our performance within EMEA was further enhanced by the strengthening of the euro versus the U.S. dollar, which contrib- uted approximately half of the 18.2% sales growth we reported in the region. Our sales growth in EMEA was also positively impacted in fiscal 2005 from the inclusion of twelve months of operations of Azlan compared to including only ten months of operations in fiscal 2004. Azlan, one of the leading European dis- tributors of networking and communications equipment, was acquired by Tech Data in March 2003. Our legacy operations (i.e., excluding Azlan) in EMEA also experienced sales growth in the high single digits, reflecting the strong demand for IT products during the fiscal year. Gross Profit Gross profit as a percentage of net sales (“gross margin”) dur- ing fiscal 2006 was 4.99%, a decrease from 5.39% in fiscal 2005. The decrease in gross margin is primarily attributable to the highly competitive pricing environment and operational challenges in our EMEA operations, as discussed above, and to a much lesser extent, changes in customer and product mix in both EMEA and the Americas. We continuously evaluate our pricing policies and terms and conditions offered to our customers in response to changes in our vendors’ terms and conditions and the general market envi- ronment. As we continue to evaluate our existing pricing policies and make future changes, if any, we may experience moderated sales growth or sales declines. In addition, increased competition and changes in general economic conditions within the markets in 2 0 0 6 A n n u a l R e p o r t 1 3 which we conduct business may hinder our ability to maintain and/or improve gross margin from its current level. Gross margin during fiscal 2005 was 5.39%, compared to 5.44% in fiscal 2004. This decrease is the result of the highly competitive pricing environment in both the Americas and EMEA, partially offset by the effect of Emerging Issues Task Force No. 02- 16, “Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor” (“EITF Issue No. 02-16”). EITF Issue No. 02-16 requires that, under certain circumstances, consideration received from vendors be treated as a reduction of cost of goods sold and not as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses. EITF Issue No. 02-16 further requires the recognition of such consideration be deferred until the related inventory is sold. As the guidance was applicable only to vendor arrangements entered into or modified subsequent to December 31, 2002, it was effective for all vendor arrangements throughout fiscal 2005; however, it had only a partial impact dur- ing fiscal 2004. As a result, gross margin in fiscal 2005 included 45 basis points of vendor consideration reclassified from selling, general and administrative expenses compared to 26 basis points being reclassified in fiscal 2004. In addition to the impact of EITF Issue No. 02-16, the inclusion of a full twelve months of Azlan’s results (which generates higher gross margins than our “legacy” operations) in fiscal 2005 com- pared to ten months in fiscal 2004 also positively affected our gross margin comparisons on a year-over-year basis; however, this impact was far less than the impact of EITF Issue No. 02-16. Operating Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased to 4.04% in fiscal 2006, compared to 4.22% in fiscal 2005. The decrease in SG&A as a percentage of net sales in fiscal 2006 is the result of continuing cost savings initiatives and improvements in produc- tivity, particularly in EMEA, where we are beginning to realize the benefits associated with our restructuring efforts. Also contribut- ing to our decrease in SG&A is a reduction in credit costs due to favorable credit experience and the positive resolution of contin- gencies associated with certain customer accounts. We strive to continuously improve our business model through our constant monitoring of costs, including tight budgetary controls and pro- ductivity reviews. These productivity reviews result in a variable cost model with an ability to better respond to changes in market demand compared to those companies with high fixed costs. In absolute dollars, worldwide SG&A decreased by $3.9 million in fiscal 2006 compared to fiscal 2005. The decrease in fiscal 2006 is primarily due to the benefits realized from the restructuring pro- gram and the decrease in credit costs, partially offset by $9.6 mil- lion of external consulting costs incurred related to our EMEA restructuring program, an increase in labor costs in the Americas to support the additional sales and, to a lesser extent, a stronger U.S. dollar versus the euro in fiscal 2006 compared to fiscal 2005. SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased to 4.22% in fis- cal 2005, compared to 4.45% in fiscal 2004. This decrease is the result of continuing cost savings initiatives and improvements in productivity, offset in part by the effects of EITF Issue No. 02-16. In absolute dollars, SG&A increased by $60.4 million in fiscal 2005 compared to fiscal 2004. This increase is attributable to the con- tinued strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar and the implementation of EITF Issue No. 02-16, as discussed above. Excluding these factors, SG&A actually declined in fiscal 2005 compared to fiscal 2004 as a result of our tight budgetary controls and productivity reviews. Restructuring Charges As discussed earlier in this MD&A, in May 2005, we announced a formal restructuring program to better align the EMEA operating cost structure with the current business environment. In connection with this restructuring program, we continue to record charges for workforce reductions and the optimization of facilities and systems. For the year ended January 31, 2006, we incurred $30.9 million related to the restructuring program, comprised of approx- imately $18.9 million related to workforce reductions and approxi- mately $12.0 million for facility costs. Special Charges During fiscal 2004, we incurred special charges of $3.1 million, or .02% of net sales, related to the closure of our education busi- ness in the United States and the restructuring of this business to a more variable cost-based, outsourced model. These charges primarily include costs associated with employee severance, facility lease terminations and the write-off of fixed assets associated with the business. Interest Expense, Discount on Sale of Accounts Receivable, Interest Income, Foreign Currency Exchange Gains/Losses Interest expense increased 10.4% to $31.4 million in fiscal 2006 compared to $28.5 million in the prior year. The increase in interest expense during fiscal 2006 is primarily due to additional working capital requirements resulting from higher sales volume and an increase in our average short-term borrowing rate compared  T e c h D a t a C o r p o r a t i o n a n d S u b s i d i a r i e s T e c h D a t a C o r p o r a t i o n a n d S u b s i d i a r i e s 1 4 1 4 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) (CONTINUED) to the prior fiscal year. Interest income increased 32.5% to $7.4 mil- lion in fiscal 2006 from $5.6 million in the prior year. The increase in interest income during fiscal 2006 compared to fiscal 2005 is primarily attributable to higher interest rates earned on short-term cash investments compared to the prior fiscal year. Discounts on the sale of accounts receivable totaled $5.5 million in fiscal 2006. The discount is associated with the accounts receiv- able purchase facility agreements executed in fiscal 2006 (see further discussion below in this MD&A and in Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Interest expense increased 22.6% to $28.5 million in fiscal 2005 from $23.2 million in fiscal 2004. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to additional working capital require- ments resulting from higher sales volume, as well as a higher interest rate environment in the U.S. in fiscal 2005 compared to fiscal 2004. Interest income decreased 15.7% to $5.6 million in fiscal 2005 from $6.7 million in fiscal 2004. This decrease is pri- marily due to a decrease in cash available for investment in fiscal 2005 as compared to fiscal 2004. We realized a net foreign currency exchange loss of $1.8 mil- lion during fiscal 2006 and net foreign currency exchange gains of $3.0 million and $1.9 million during fiscal years 2005 and 2004, respectively. We recognize net foreign currency exchange gains and losses primarily due to the fluctuation in the value of the U.S. dollar versus the euro, and to a lesser extent, versus other curren- cies. It continues to be our goal to minimize foreign currency exchange gains and losses through an effective hedging program. Our hedging policy prohibits speculative foreign currency exchange transactions. Provision for Income Taxes Our effective tax rate for continuing operations was 82.6% in fiscal 2006 and 24.6% in fiscal 2005. The increase in the effective tax rate during fiscal 2006 is primarily the result of a $56.0 million increase in the deferred tax valuation allowance on deferred tax assets recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 2006 related to deferred tax assets for specific jurisdictions in EMEA, primarily Germany. While we believe the restructuring efforts will improve the operating performance within our German operations, we have determined this charge to be appropriate due to cumulative losses expected to be realized through the current fiscal year, after considering the effect of implementing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. In the future, to the extent we generate con- sistent taxable income within those operations currently requiring the valuation allowance, we may reduce the valuation allowance on the related deferred tax assets, thereby reducing tax expense and increasing net income in the same period. The underlying net operating loss carryforwards remain available to offset future tax- able income in the specific jurisdictions requiring the valuation allowance, subject to applicable tax laws and regulations. Excluding the effect of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, our effective tax rate for continuing operations would have approximated 40.2% for fiscal 2006. The increase in the tax rate from 30.0% in fiscal 2005 (adjusted for the reversal of previously accrued income taxes as discussed below) to 40.2% in fiscal 2006 was primarily the result of annual losses incurred in certain tax jurisdictions where we are not able to record a tax benefit. On an absolute dollar basis, the provision for income taxes increased 109.5% to $109.0 million in fiscal 2006 as compared to $52.0 million in fiscal 2005, primarily as a result of the factors discussed above. Our effective tax rate for continuing operations was 24.6% in fiscal 2005 compared to 30.5% in fiscal 2004. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily attributable to the reversal of previously accrued income taxes of $11.5 million due to the favor- able resolution of various income tax examinations during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. Excluding the reversal of previously accrued income taxes, our effective tax rate for continuing opera- tions would have approximated 30.0% during fiscal 2005. On an absolute dollar basis, the provision for income taxes increased 10.6% to $52.0 million in fiscal 2005 as compared to $47.0 million in fiscal 2004, primarily due to an increase in our taxable income and the factors discussed above. The effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% during these periods for the reasons discussed above, as well as tax rate benefits of certain earnings from operations in lower-tax jurisdictions throughout the world for which no U.S. taxes have been provided because such earnings are planned to be reinvested indefinitely outside the U.S. Our future effective tax rates could be adversely affected by earnings being lower than anticipated in countries where we have lower statutory rates, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets or liabilities or changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof. In addition, our income tax returns are subject to continuous examination by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax author- ities. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. At January 31, 2006, we believe we have appropriately accrued for probable income tax exposures. To the extent we prevail in matters for which accruals have been established or are required to pay amounts in excess of such 2 0 0 6 A n n u a l R e p o r t 1 5 accruals, our effective tax rate in a financial reporting period could be materially affected. Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax Results of operations for the Training Business have been reclassified and presented as income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, within the Consolidated Statement of Operations for all periods presented. We realized income from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $3.6 million and $2.8 million in fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively, and a loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $3.0 million in fiscal 2004. IMPACT OF INFLATION We have not been adversely affected by inflation. Management believes that most price increases could be passed on to our cus- tomers, as prices charged by us are not set by long-term contracts; however, as a result of competitive pressure, there can be no assurance that the full effect of any such price increases could be passed on to our customers. QUARTERLY DATA—SEASONALITY Our quarterly operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past and will likely continue to do so in the future as a result of currency fluctuations and seasonal variations in the demand for the products and services we offer. Narrow operating margins may magnify the impact of these factors on our operating results. Recent historical seasonal variations have included a reduction of demand in EMEA during our second and third fiscal quarters followed by an increase in EMEA demand during our fiscal fourth quarter. Given that a significant portion of our revenues are derived from EMEA, the worldwide results closely follow the seasonality trends in EMEA. Additionally, the life cycles of major products, as well as the impact of future acquisitions and disposi- tions, may also materially impact our business, financial condition, or results of operations. See Note 15 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our quar- terly results. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our discussion of liquidity and capital resources includes an analysis of our cash flows and capital structure, which includes both continuing and discontinued operations for all periods pre- sented. The absence of cash flows from discontinued operations is not expected to affect the Company’s future liquidity. The following table summarizes Tech Data’s Consolidated State- ment of Cash Flows for the years ended January 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands): Year ended January 31, 2006 2005 2004 Net cash provided by (used in): Operating activities . . . . . . . . . . $ 257,439 (51,583) (235,438) Investing activities . . . . . . . . . . .

We have several key metrics we use to manage our working capital, including our cash conversion cycle (also referred to as “net cash days”) and owned inventory levels. Our net cash days are defined as days sales outstanding in accounts receivable (“DSO”) plus days of supply on hand in inven- tory (“DOS”), less days of purchases outstanding in accounts payable (“DPO”). Owned inventory is calculated as the difference between our inventory and accounts payable balances divided into the inventory balance. Our net cash days improved by approx- imately 6% to 29 days at the end of fiscal 2006 compared to 31 days at the end of fiscal 2005, resulting from improved manage- ment of our worldwide cash conversion cycle. Our owned inven- tory level (the percentage of inventory not financed by vendors) was a negative 25% at the end of fiscal 2006, meaning our accounts payable balances exceeded our inventory balances by 25%. This compares to negative owned inventory of 18% at the end of fiscal 2005. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased in fiscal 2005 as compared to fiscal 2004 due primarily to the timing of payments to vendors, offset in part by increased earnings over the prior year (especially within our EMEA segment). Our net cash days improved by approximately 6% to 31 days at the end of fiscal 2005 compared to 33 days at the end of fiscal 2004, resulting from improved management of our worldwide cash conversion cycle. Our owned inventory level was a negative 18% at the end of fiscal 2005 compared to negative owned inventory of 24% at the end of fiscal 2004.  T e c h D a t a C o r p o r a t i o n a n d S u b s i d i a r i e s 1 6 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) The following table presents the components of Tech Data’s cash conversion cycle, in days, as of January 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004: As of January 31, 2006 2005 2004 Days of sales outstanding . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

We expect to make total capital expenditures of approximately $60.0 million during fiscal 2007 for equipment and machinery in our logistics centers, office facilities and IT systems. While we believe we will realize increased operating efficiencies as a result of these invest- ments, unforeseen circumstances or complexities could have an adverse impact on our business. Net cash used in investing activities of $38.6 million during fiscal 2005 was attributable to the continuing investment related to the expansion and upgrading of our IT systems, office facilities and equipment for our logistics centers, offset by the proceeds from the sale of one of the facilities at our headquarters campus in Clearwater, Florida. Net cash used in financing activities of $235.4 million during fiscal 2006 reflects the $290.0 million repayment of our convert- ible subordinated debentures, $1.6 million of payments on other long-term debt and $127.0 million for the repurchase of 3,443,131 shares of our common stock, partially offset by net borrowings on our revolving credit lines of $166.5 million and $16.7 million in proceeds received for the issuance of common stock related to our stock option exercises and purchases made through our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). Net cash provided by financing activities of $12.2 million dur- ing fiscal 2005 reflects $32.7 million in proceeds from stock option exercises and purchases made through our ESPP, partially offset by net repayments on our revolving credit lines and long-term debt of $20.5 million. As of January 31, 2006, we maintained a $400.0 million Receiv- ables Securitization Program with a syndicate of banks, which expires in August 2006. We pay interest (average rate of 4.72% at January 31, 2006) on the Receivables Securitization Program at designated commercial paper rates plus an agreed-upon margin. Additionally, we maintained a $250.0 million Multi-currency Revolving Credit Facility with a syndicate of banks that expires in March 2010. We pay interest (average rate of 5.50% at January 31, 2006) under this facility at the applicable euro rate plus a margin based on our credit ratings. In addition to these credit facilities, we maintained lines of credit and overdraft facilities totaling approximately $674.7 million at January 31, 2006 (average interest rate was 3.49% at January 31, 2006). The total capacity of the aforementioned credit facilities was approximately $1.3 billion, of which $235.1 million was outstand- ing at January 31, 2006. Our credit agreements contain limitations on the amounts of annual dividends and repurchases of common stock. Additionally, the credit agreements require compliance with certain warranties and covenants on a continuing basis. The finan- cial ratio covenants contained within the credit agreements include a debt to capitalization ratio, an interest to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, deprecation and amortization) ratio, and a tangible net worth requirement. At January 31, 2006, we were in compliance with all such covenants. The ability to draw funds under these credit facilities is dependent upon sufficient collateral (in the case of the Receivables Securitization Program) and meet- ing the aforementioned financial covenants, which may limit our ability to draw the full amount of these facilities. As of January 31, 2006, the maximum amount that could be borrowed under these facilities, in consideration of the availability of collateral and the financial covenants, was approximately $1.1 billion. At January 31, 2006, we had issued standby letters of credit of $22.4 million. These letters of credit typically act as a guarantee of payment to certain third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions. The issuance of these letters of credit reduces our available capacity under the abovementioned facilities by the same amount. In December 2001, we issued $290.0 million of convertible subordinated debentures due 2021. The debentures bore interest at 2% per year and were convertible into our common stock, if the market price of the common stock exceeded a specified per- centage of the conversion price per share of common stock. Holders had the option to require us to repurchase the debentures on specified anniversary dates from the issue date at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest to the repurchase date. We had the option to satisfy such repurchases in either cash and/or our common stock, provided that shares of common stock reached a certain fair market value. The debentures were redeemable in whole or in part for cash at our option at any time on or after December 20, 2005. Additionally, the debentures were subordi- nated in right of payment to all of our senior indebtedness and 2 0 0 6 A n n u a l R e p o r t 1 7 were effectively subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabili- ties of our subsidiaries. In December 2004, we completed an exchange offer whereby approximately 99.3% of our then outstanding $290.0 million con- vertible subordinated debentures (the “Old Notes”) were exchanged for new debentures (the “New Notes”). The New Notes had sub- stantially identical terms to the previously outstanding Old Notes. As the holders of both the New Notes and the Old Notes had the option to require us to repurchase the debentures on certain dates, beginning with December 15, 2005, we classified the debentures as a current liability at January 31, 2005. In accordance with the debenture agreement, on December 15, 2005, the debenture holders of the New Notes exercised their option to require the Company to repurchase the debentures. We repurchased the New Notes using cash and existing credit lines. In addition, prior to January 31, 2006, we also repurchased the Old Notes using cash and existing credit lines. In August 2000, we filed a universal shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for $500.0 million of debt and equity securities. The net proceeds from any issuance are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures, the repayment or refinancing of debt and to meet working capital needs. As of January 31, 2006, we have not issued any debt or equity securities under this registration state- ment, nor can any assurances be given that we will issue any debt or equity securities under this registration statement in the future. Our debt to capital ratio was 12% at January 31, 2006. We believe that our existing sources of liquidity, including cash resources and cash provided by operating activities, supplemented as necessary with funds available under our credit arrangements, will provide sufficient resources to meet our present and future working capital and cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. Changes in our credit rating or other market factors may increase our interest expense or other costs of capital, or capital may not be available to us on acceptable terms to fund our work- ing capital needs. The Company will continue to need additional financing, including debt financing. The inability to obtain such sources of capital could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business. The Company’s credit facilities contain various financial and other covenants that may limit the Company’s ability to borrow or limit the Company’s flexibility in responding to business conditions. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS Principal maturities of long-term debt, comprised exclusively of capital leases, at January 31, 2006 and amounts due under future minimum lease payments, including minimum commitments under IT outsourcing agreements, are as follow (in thousands): Operating leases Capital leases Total Fiscal year: 2007 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 62,493 54,841 2008 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 44,846 2009 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 37,383 2010 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 29,450 2011 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 68,728 Thereafter . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 2,520 2,520 1,751 1,597 1,597 9,768 $ 65,013 57,361 46,597 38,980 31,047 78,496 Total payments . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Purchase orders for the purchase of inventory and other goods and services are not included in the table above. We are not able to determine the aggregate amount of such purchase orders that represent contractual obligations, as purchase orders typically represent authorizations to purchase rather than binding agreements. For the purposes of this table, contractual obliga- tions for purchase of goods or services are defined as agreements that are enforceable and legally binding on Tech Data and that specify all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quanti- ties to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. Our purchase orders are based on our current demand expectations and are fulfilled by our vendors within short-time horizons. We do not have significant noncancelable agreements for the purchase of inventory or other goods specifying minimum quantities or set prices that exceed our expected requirements for the next three months. We also enter into contracts for outsourced services; however, the obligations under these contracts were not signifi- cant and the contracts generally contain clauses allowing for can- cellation without significant penalty.  T e c h D a t a C o r p o r a t i o n a n d S u b s i d i a r i e s 1 8 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS Trade Receivables Purchase Facility Agreements Synthetic Lease Facility On July 31, 2003, we completed a restructuring of our synthetic lease facility with a group of financial institutions (the “Restructured Lease”) under which we lease certain logistics centers and office facilities from a third-party lessor. The Restructured Lease expires in fiscal 2008, at which time we have the following options: renew the lease for an additional five years, purchase the properties at an amount equal to their cost, or remarket the properties. If we elect to remarket the properties, we have guaranteed the lessor a percentage of the cost of each of the properties, in an aggregate amount of approximately $121.0 million (the “residual value”). At any time during the lease term, we may, at our option, purchase up to four of the seven properties, at an amount equal to each property’s cost. We pay interest on the Restructured Lease at LIBOR plus an agreed-upon margin. The Restructured Lease con- tains covenants that must be complied with on a continuous basis, similar to the covenants described in certain of the credit facilities discussed above and in Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The amount funded under the Restructured Lease (approximately $136.7 million at January 31, 2006) is treated as debt under the definition of the covenants required under both the Restructured Lease and the credit facilities. As of January 31, 2006, we were in compliance with all such covenants. The sum of future minimum lease payments under the Restructured Lease at January 31, 2006 was approximately $20.9 million. Properties leased under the Restructured Lease facility total 2.5 million square feet of space, with land totaling 204 acres located in Clearwater and Miami, Florida; Fort Worth, Texas; Fontana, California; Suwanee, Georgia; Swedesboro, New Jersey; and South Bend, Indiana. The Restructured Lease has been accounted for as an operating lease. FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 46 requires us to evaluate whether an entity with which we are involved meets the criteria of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and, if so, whether we are required to consolidate that entity. We have determined that the third-party lessor of this synthetic lease facility does not meet the criteria of a VIE and therefore is not subject to the consolidation provisions of FIN No. 46. During fiscal 2006, we entered into revolving trade receivables purchase facility agreements (the “Receivables Facilities”) with third-party financial institutions to sell accounts receivable on a non-recourse basis. We use the Receivables Facilities as a source of working capital funding. The Receivables Facilities limit the amount of purchased accounts receivable the financial institutions may hold to $346.0 million at January 31, 2006, based on the foreign currency exchange rate at that date. Under the Receivables Facilities, we may sell certain accounts receivable (the “Receivables”) in exchange for cash less a discount based on LIBOR plus a margin. Such transactions have been accounted for as a true sale, in accord- ance with SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities.” The Receiv- ables Facilities, of which $200.0 million expires in May 2006 and $146.0 million does not have an expiration date, require that we continue to service, administer and collect the sold accounts receivable. During the year ended January 31, 2006, we received gross proceeds of $796.1 million from the sale of the Receivables and recognized related discounts totaling $5.5 million. The pro- ceeds, net of the discount incurred, are reflected in the Consoli- dated Statement of Cash Flows in operating activities within cash received from customers and the change in accounts receivable. Guarantees As is customary in the IT industry, to encourage certain cus- tomers to purchase product from us, we have arrangements with certain finance companies that provide inventory-financing facili- ties for our customers. In conjunction with certain of these arrangements, we have agreements with the finance companies that would require us to repurchase certain inventory, which might be repossessed from the customers by the finance companies. Due to various reasons, including among other items, the lack of information regarding the amount of saleable inventory purchased from us still on hand with the customer at any point in time, our repurchase obligations relating to inventory cannot be reasonably estimated. Repurchases of inventory by us under these arrange- ments have been insignificant to date. We also provide additional financial guarantees to finance companies on behalf of certain customers. The majority of these guarantees is for an indefinite 2 0 0 6 A n n u a l R e p o r t 1 9 period of time, where we would be required to perform if the customer is in default with the finance company. The Company reviews the underlying credit for these guarantees on at least an annual basis. As of January 31, 2006 and 2005, the aggregate amount of guarantees under these arrangements totaled approxi- mately $7.0 million and $9.7 million, respectively, of which approx- imately $2.9 million and $5.3 million, respectively, was outstanding. We believe that, based on historical experience, the likelihood of a material loss pursuant to both of the above guarantees is remote. We also provide residual value guarantees related to our Restructured Lease which have been recorded at the estimated fair value of the residual value guarantees. ASSET MANAGEMENT We manage our inventories by maintaining sufficient quantities to achieve high order fill rates while attempting to stock only those products in high demand with a rapid turnover rate. Inven- tory balances fluctuate as we add new product lines and when appropriate, we make large purchases, including cash purchases from manufacturers and publishers when the terms of such pur- chases are considered advantageous. Our contracts with most of our vendors provide price protection and stock rotation privileges to reduce the risk of loss due to manufacturer price reductions and slow moving or obsolete inventory. In the event of a vendor price reduction, we generally receive a credit for the impact on products in inventory and we have the right to rotate a certain percentage of purchases, subject to certain limitations. Historically, price protection and stock rotation privileges as well as our inven- tory management procedures have helped to reduce the risk of loss of inventory value. We attempt to control losses on credit sales by closely monitor- ing customers’ creditworthiness through our IT systems, which contain detailed information on each customer’s payment history and other relevant information. We have obtained credit insur- ance that insures a percentage of the credit extended by us to certain customers against possible loss. Customers who qualify for credit terms are typically granted net 30-day payment terms in the Americas. While credit terms in EMEA vary by country, the vast majority of customers is granted credit terms ranging from 30-60 days. We also sell products on a prepay, credit card and cash on delivery basis. In addition, certain of the Company’s ven- dors subsidize floorplan financing arrangements for the benefit of our customers. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK As a large global organization, we face exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material impact on our financial results in the future. In the normal course of business, we employ established policies and procedures to manage our exposure to fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies using a variety of financial instruments. It is our policy to utilize financial instruments to reduce risks where inter- nal netting cannot be effectively employed. Additionally, we do not enter into foreign currency derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Our primary exposure relates to transactions in EMEA, where the currency collected from customers can be differ- ent from the currency used to purchase the product. Our foreign currency risk management objective is to protect our earnings and cash flows from the adverse impact of exchange rate changes. Foreign exchange risk is managed by using foreign currency forward, option and swap contracts to hedge both intercom- pany and third party a) loans, b) accounts receivable and c) accounts payable. We have elected not to designate our foreign currency contracts as hedging instruments, and they are therefore marked-to-market with changes in their value recorded in the income statement each period. The underlying exposures are denominated primarily in the following currencies: U.S. dollar, British pound, Canadian dollar, Czech koruna, Danish krone, euros, Norwegian krone, Polish zloty, Swedish krona and Swiss franc.  T e c h D a t a C o r p o r a t i o n a n d S u b s i d i a r i e s 2 0 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) The following table provides information about our foreign currency derivative financial instruments outstanding as of January 31, 2006 and 2005.

Interest rate risk is also present in the forward foreign currency contracts hedging intercompany and third-party loans. Our interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to mini- mize overall borrowing costs. To achieve our objective, we use a combination of fixed and variable rate debt. The nature and amount of our long-term and short-term debt can be expected to vary as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. As of January 31, 2006 and 2005, approximately 6% and 82%, respectively, of the outstanding debt had fixed interest rates. We utilize various financing instruments, such as receivables securitization, leases, revolving credit facilities and trade receiv- able purchase facilities, to finance working capital needs.  T e c h D a t a C o r p o r a t i o n a n d S u b s i d i a r i e s 2 2 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) The following table provides information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates.

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all con- trol issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, con- trols can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) evaluated, with the participation of Tech Data’s management, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on the evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO con- cluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement prepara- tion and presentation. Under the supervision and with the participation of manage- ment, including our principal executive officer and principal finan- cial officer, we assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2006. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of January 31, 2006, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effec- tive based on those criteria. Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2006, has been audited by Ernst & Young, LLP, the independent registered certi- fied public accounting firm who also audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Ernst & Young’s attestation report on management’s assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is included below.  T e c h D a t a C o r p o r a t i o n a n d S u b s i d i a r i e s 2 4 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Tech Data Corporation: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tech Data Corporation and subsidiaries as of January 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of oper- ations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2006. These financial state- ments are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial state- ments are free of material misstatement. An audit includes exam- ining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Tech Data Corporation and subsidiaries at January 31, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2006, in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Tech Data Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2006, based on criteria estab- lished in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 29, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Tech Data Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal con- trol over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we con- sidered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projec- tions of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In our opinion, management’s assessment that Tech Data Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, Tech Data Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2006, based on the COSO criteria. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Tech Data Corporation as of January 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated state- ments of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2006 of Tech Data Corporation and our report dated March 29, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

The Company distributes microcomputer hardware and software products to value-added resellers, direct marketers, retailers and corporate resellers. The Company is managed in two geographic segments: the Americas (which includes the United States, Canada, Latin America and export sales to the Caribbean) and EMEA (which includes Europe, the Middle East and export sales to Africa). Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tech Data and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company operates on a fiscal year that ends on January 31. Basis of Presentation In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS” or “Statement”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets,” the Company has accounted for the EMEA Training Business (the “Training Business”) as a discon- tinued operation. SFAS No. 144 applies to long-lived assets to be held and used or to be disposed of, including assets under capital leases of lessees, assets subject to operating leases of lessors and prepaid assets. The results of operations of the Training Business have been reclassified and presented as “income (loss) from dis- continued operations, net of tax,” for all periods presented. The balance sheet data has not been reclassified as the net assets of the Training Business are less than 0.5% of the total net assets of the Company. The cash flows of the Training Business have not been reported separately within the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as the net cash flows of the Training Business are not material and the absence of cash flows from dis- continued operations is not expected to affect the Company’s future liquidity. The transaction is further discussed in Note 2— Discontinued Operations. Method of Accounting The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabil- ities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized once four criteria are met: (1) the Company must have persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (2) delivery must occur, which generally happens at the point of shipment (this includes the transfer of both title and risk of loss, provided that no significant obligations remain); (3) the price must be fixed or determinable; and (4) collectibility must be reasonably assured. Shipping revenue is included in net sales while the related costs, including shipping and handling costs, are included in the cost of products sold. The Company allows its customers to return product for exchange or credit subject to certain limitations. A provision for such returns is recorded at the time of sale based upon historical experience. The Company generated net sales of approximately 27%, 28% and 32%, in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, from prod- ucts purchased from Hewlett Packard. Service revenue associated with configuration, training and other services is recognized when the work is complete and the four criteria discussed above have been met. Service revenues have represented less than 10% of total net sales for fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004. Accounts Receivable The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. In estimating the required allowance, the Company takes into consideration the overall quality and aging of the receivable portfolio, the existence of credit insurance, specifically identified customer risks and historical writeoff experi- ence. If actual customer performance were to deteriorate to an extent not expected by the Company, additional allowances may be required which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial results. Inventories Inventories, consisting entirely of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Inventory is written down for estimated obsolescence equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value, based upon an aging analysis of the inventory on hand, specifically known inventory-related risks (such as technological obsolescence and the nature of vendor terms surrounding price protection and product returns), foreign 2 0 0 6 A n n u a l R e p o r t 3 1 currency fluctuations for foreign-sourced product and assump- tions about future demand. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and property and equipment under capital leases are stated at the present value of the future minimum lease payments. Depreciation expense includes depreciation of purchased property and equipment and assets recorded under capital leases. Depreciation expense is computed over the shorter of the estimated economic lives or lease periods using the straight-line method as follows: Years Buildings and improvements . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 15–39 Leasehold improvements . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3–10 Furniture, fixtures and equipment . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3–10 Expenditures for renewals and improvements that significantly add to productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. When assets are sold or retired, the cost of the asset and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated and any gain or loss is recognized at such time. Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets are reviewed for potential impairment at such time when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. An impair- ment loss would be recognized when the sum of the expected, undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Goodwill The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 142 requires an annual review for impairment, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. This testing includes the determination of each reporting unit’s fair value using market multiples and discounted cash flow modeling. The Company performs its annual review for goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Intangible Assets Included within other assets at both January 31, 2006 and 2005 are certain intangible assets including capitalized software costs, as well as value assigned to the acquired customer lists and trade- marks related to the acquisitions of Computer 2000 AG (“Computer 2000”) and Azlan Group PLC (“Azlan”). Such capitalized costs and intangibles are being amortized over a period of three to ten years. The Company capitalizes computer software costs that meet both the definition of internal-use software and defined criteria for capitalization in accordance with SFAS Position No. 98-1, “Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use.” The Company’s accounting policy is to amortize capitalized software costs on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from three to ten years, depending upon the nature of the software, the stability of the hardware platform on which the software is installed, its fit in our overall strategy, and our experience with similar software. It is the Company’s policy to amortize personal computer-related software, such as spreadsheet and word pro- cessing applications, over three years, which reflects the rapid changes in personal computer software. Mainframe software licenses are amortized over five years, which is in line with the longer economic life of mainframe systems compared to personal computer systems. Finally, strategic applications such as customer relationship management and enterprise-wide systems are amor- tized over seven to ten years based on their strategic fit and the Company’s historical experience with such applications. Product Warranty The Company’s vendors generally warrant the products distrib- uted by the Company and allow the Company to return defective products, including those that have been returned to the Company by its customers. The Company does not independently warrant the products it distributes. However, in several countries where the Company operates, the Company is responsible for defective products as a matter of law. The time period required by law in certain countries exceeds the warranty period provided by the manufacturer. To date, the Company has not incurred any signifi- cant costs for defective products under these legal requirements. The Company does warrant services with regard to products integrated for its customers. A provision for estimated warranty costs is recorded at the time of sale and periodically adjusted to reflect actual experience. To date, the Company has not incurred any significant service warranty costs. Fees charged for products configured by the Company represented less than 10% of net sales for fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004. Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. Deferred taxes reflect the tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts. Deferred taxes have not been provided on the cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign  T e c h D a t a C o r p o r a t i o n a n d S u b s i d i a r i e s 3 2 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) subsidiaries or the cumulative translation adjustment related to those investments, since such amounts are expected to be rein- vested indefinitely. The Company’s future effective tax rates could be adversely affected by earnings being lower than anticipated in countries where it has lower statutory rates, changes in the valuation of its deferred tax assets or liabilities or changes in tax laws or interpre- tations thereof. In addition, the Company is subject to the contin- uous examination of its income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examina- tions to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes. To the extent the Company were to prevail in matters for which accruals have been established or be required to pay amounts in excess of such accruals, the Company’s effective tax rate in a given financial statement period could be materially affected. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company sells its products to a large base of value-added resellers, direct marketers, retailers and corporate resellers throughout the United States, Europe, Canada, Latin America, the Caribbean, the Middle East and Africa. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. The Company has obtained credit insurance, which insures a percentage of credit extended by the Company to certain of its customers against possible loss. The Company makes provisions for estimated credit losses at the time of sale. No single customer accounted for more than five percent of the Company’s net sales during fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004. Foreign Currency Translation Income and expense accounts of foreign operations are trans- lated at weighted average exchange rates during the year. Assets, including goodwill, and liabilities of foreign operations that operate in a local currency environment are translated to U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, with the related translation gains or losses reported as components of accumu- lated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company faces exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company reduces its expo- sure by creating offsetting positions through the prudent use of derivative financial instruments. The majority of these instruments have terms of 90 days or less. It is the Company’s policy to utilize financial instruments to reduce risk where appropriate and prohibit entering into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Derivative financial instruments are marked-to-market each period with gains and losses on these contracts recorded in income in the period in which their value changes, with the offsetting entry for unsettled positions being booked to either other assets or other liabilities. Gains and losses resulting from effective account- ing hedges of existing assets, liabilities or firm commitments are deferred and recognized when the offsetting gains and losses are recognized on the related hedged items. The notional amount of forward exchange contracts and options is the amount of foreign currency to be bought or sold at matu- rity. The notional amount of interest rate swaps is the underlying principal used in determining the interest payments exchanged over the life of the swap. Notional amounts are indicative of the extent of the Company’s involvement in the various types and uses of derivative financial instruments and are not a measure of the Company’s exposure to credit or market risks through its use of derivatives. The estimated fair value of derivative financial instruments represents the amount required to enter into similar offsetting contracts with similar remaining maturities based on quoted market prices. The Company’s derivative financial instruments outstanding at January 31, 2006 and 2005 are as follows: January 31, 2006 January 31, 2005 Notional amounts Estimated fair value Notional amounts Estimated fair value (In thousands) Foreign exchange forward contracts . . . . . . . . . $818,030 $(1,109) $666,950 $214 Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. The carry- ing amount of debt outstanding pursuant to bank credit agree- ments approximates fair value as interest rates on these instruments approximate current market rates. The estimated fair value of the convertible subordinated notes was approximately $290.4 million at January 31, 2005 based upon available market information. These convertible subordinated notes were repaid prior to January 31, 2006. 2 0 0 6 A n n u a l R e p o r t 3 3 Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity (net assets) of a business enterprise during a period from transac- tions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources, and is comprised of “net income (loss)” and “other comprehen- sive income (loss).” The Company’s other comprehensive income (loss) is comprised exclusively of changes in the Company’s cur- rency translation adjustment account (“CTA account”), including income taxes attributable to those changes.

There was no income tax effect in fiscal years 2006 or 2005. Accumulated comprehensive income includes $28.6 million of income taxes at January 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004. Stock-Based Compensation At January 31, 2006, the Company had awards outstanding under four stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 10—Employee Benefit Plans. The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure,” which amends SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock- Based Compensation.” SFAS No. 148 allows for continued use of recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations in accounting for those plans. The Company applies the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for the Company’s stock-based compensation plans. Options granted under these plans had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions to stock-based employee compensation. Such disclosure is not necessarily indicative of the fair value of stock options that could be granted by the Company in future fiscal years or of the value of all equity instruments cur- rently outstanding.

On February 25, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the acceleration of vesting for all stock options awarded in March 2004 to employees and officers under the Company’s stock option award program. While the Company typically issues options that vest equally over four years, as a result of this vesting acceleration, stock options to purchase approximately 1.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock became immediately exercisable. The grant prices of the affected stock options range from $41.08 to $41.64 and the closing price of the Company’s common stock on February 24, 2005, was $41.20. The vesting acceleration resulted in an expense to the Company of less than $0.1 million. The primary purpose of the accelerated vesting was to eliminate future compensation expense the Company would otherwise recognize in its income statement with respect to these accelerated options upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, “Share- Based Payments.” Treasury Stock Treasury stock is accounted for at cost. The reissuance of shares from treasury stock for exercises of stock-based awards or other corporate purposes is based on the weighted average purchase price of the shares.  T e c h D a t a C o r p o r a t i o n a n d S u b s i d i a r i e s 3 4 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reported period. For the years ended January 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur assuming the exercise of the stock options and similar equity incentives (as further discussed below) using the if-converted and treasury stock methods, respec- tively. The composition of basic and diluted EPS is as follows: Year ended January 31, 2006 Year ended January 31, 2005 Year ended January 31, 2004 Net income Weighted average shares Per share amount Net income Weighted average shares Per share amount Net income Weighted average shares Per share amount Net income per common share— basic . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $26,586 57,749 $0.46 $162,460 58,176 $2.79 $104,147 56,838 $1.83 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . — 665 — 1,017 — 663 Net income per common share— diluted . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $26,586 58,414 $0.45 $162,460 59,193 $2.74 $104,147 57,501 $1.81 (In thousands, except per share data) At January 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, there were 3,215,066, 1,435,852 and 2,445,046 shares, respectively, excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive. The Company issued approximately 255,000 shares of common stock during the year ended January 31, 2006 and 1,267,000 shares of common stock during the year ended January 31, 2005 in con- nection with the exercise of stock options. In addition, during the year ended January 31, 2006, the Company repurchased 3,443,131 shares of common stock and reissued 395,071 shares of the treasury stock. In December 2004 the Company completed an Exchange Offer whereby approximately 99.3% of the Company’s $290.0 million convertible subordinated debentures (the “Old Notes”) were exchanged for new debentures (the “New Notes”). The dilutive impact of the Old Notes and New Notes outstanding at January 31, 2005 and 2004 has been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations due to the conditions for the contingent conver- sion features not being met. As further discussed in Note 8— Long-Term Debt, the entire balance of the Old Notes and the New Notes was repaid prior to January 31, 2006. Cash Management System Under the Company’s cash management system, to the extent that cash is unavailable locally, disbursements cleared by the bank are reimbursed on a daily basis from available credit facilities. As a result, checks issued but not yet presented to the bank by the payee are not considered reductions of cash or accounts payable. Included in accounts payable are $87.3 million and $67.1 million at January 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, for which checks are outstanding. Statement of Cash Flows Short-term investments which have an original maturity of ninety days or less are considered cash equivalents. Contingencies The Company accrues for contingent obligations, including estimated legal costs, when the obligation is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. As facts concerning contingen- cies become known, the Company reassesses its position and makes appropriate adjustments to the financial statements. Estimates that are particularly sensitive to future changes include those related to tax, legal and other regulatory matters such as imports and exports, the imposition of international governmental controls, changes in the interpretation and enforcement of inter- national laws (particularly related to items such as duty and taxa- tion), and the impact of local economic conditions and practices, which are all subject to change as events evolve and as additional information becomes available during the administrative and liti- gation process. 2 0 0 6 A n n u a l R e p o r t 3 5 Non-Cash Transactions The Company completed an Exchange Offer in December 2004 whereby approximately 99.3% of the Company’s $290.0 million convertible subordinated debentures were exchanged for New Notes. See further discussion at Note 8—Long-Term Debt. Recent Accounting Pronouncements & Legislation In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Staff Position No. 109-2, “Accounting and Disclo- sure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004” (“FSP No. 109-2”), which provides guidance for implementing the repatriation of earnings provisions of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Jobs Act”) and disclosing the provision’s impact on the Company’s income tax and deferred tax liabilities. Even though the Jobs Act was enacted in October 2004, FSP No. 109-2 permits additional time beyond the period of enactment to allow the Company to evaluate the effects of the Jobs Act on the Company’s plan for reinvestment or repatriation of foreign earnings. After completing this evaluation during the third quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company made the decision not to repatriate any foreign earnings under the provisions of the Jobs Act. In February 2005, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 03-13, “Applying the Conditions of Paragraph 42 of FASB Statement No. 144 in Determining Whether to Report Discontinued Operations” (“EITF 03-13”). EITF 03-13 gives guid- ance on how to evaluate whether the operations and cash flows of a disposed component have been or will be eliminated from ongoing operations and the types of continuing involvement that constitute significant continuing involvement in the operations of the disposed component. The provisions of EITF 03-13 have been applied in the determination of the discontinued operations as of January 31, 2006. In April 2005, the SEC modified the effective date of SFAS No. 123R—“Share-Based Payments” (“SFAS No. 123R”). SFAS No. 123R, as amended, requires all share-based payments to employ- ees, including grants of employee equity incentives, to be recog- nized in the consolidated statement of operations based on their fair values. SFAS No. 123R is applicable to the Company beginning February 1, 2006, and the Company will adopt the standard using the “modified prospective” method. The modified prospective method requires compensation costs to be recognized, beginning with the effective date of adoption, for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of the statement that remain unvested on the effective date. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using the intrinsic value method prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25, and as such, generally recognizes no compensation cost for employee stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS No. 123R will impact the Company’s results of operations, although it will have no impact on our overall liquidity. The future impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 123R cannot be determined because it will depend on the levels of share-based payments granted in the future. However, had the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R in prior periods, the impact of the statement would have approximated the impact of SFAS No. 123 as described in the disclosure of pro-forma net income and earnings per share included in the stock-based com- pensation table earlier in this note. SFAS No. 123R also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow, as cur- rently required. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adop- tion. While the Company cannot estimate what those amounts will be in the future as it depends, among other things, when employees exercise stock options, the amount of operating cash flows recognized in prior periods for such excess tax deductions were $2.6 million, $5.7 million and $4.3 million for the years ended January 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Corrections” (“SFAS No. 154”), which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements,” and changes the requirements for the accounting for and report- ing of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 also provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of error corrections. This statement is applicable for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. In June 2005, the FASB issued Staff Position 143-1, “Accounting for Electronic Equipment Waste Obligations” (“FSP 143-1”). FSP 143-1 provides guidance on the accounting for certain obligations  T e c h D a t a C o r p o r a t i o n a n d S u b s i d i a r i e s 3 6 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) associated with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (the “Directive”) adopted by the European Union (“EU”). Under the Directive, the waste management obligation for histori- cal equipment (products put on the market on or prior to August 13, 2005) remains with the commercial user until the customer replaces the equipment. The Company will apply the provisions of FSP 143-1, which requires recognition of the estimated liability and obligation associated with the historical waste, upon the Directive’s adoption into law by the applicable EU member coun- tries in which it operates. The Company is in the process of assess- ing what impact, if any, the Directive and FSP 143-1 may have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. Reclassifications Reclassifications, in addition to those related to discontinued operations discussed in Note 2, have been made to the January 31, 2005 and 2004 financial statements to conform to the January 31, 2006 financial statement presentation. These reclassifications did not change previously reported total assets, liabilities, shareholders’ equity or net income. NOTE 2 —DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, in order to dedicate strate- gic efforts and resources to core growth opportunities, the Company made the decision to sell the EMEA Training Business (the “Training Business”). In March 2006, we closed the sale of the Training Business to a third-party (the “Purchaser”) for total cash consideration of $16.5 million and $0.5 million of additional consideration which is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain post-closing conditions. The sale of the Training Business includes net assets with a book value of approximately $7.3 million at January 31, 2006, comprised primarily of accounts receivable, property and equipment, accrued expenses and other liabilities. We will provide IT services for a transitional period anticipated to be approximately six months, but will have no other significant continuing involvement in the operations of the Training Business subsequent to the closing of the sale. In addition, the Company will realize no continuing cash flows from the Training Business subsequent to the closing of the sale. The Company is in the pro- cess of finalizing the closing balance sheet as of the sale date with the Purchaser, including the allocation of any EMEA goodwill, and does not anticipate the gain on the sale of the Training Business to be material to the Company’s consolidated operating results or financial condition. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impair- ment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the sale of the Training Business qualifies as a discontinued operation. Accordingly, the results of the Training Business have been reclassified and pre- sented as “income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax,” within Consolidated Statement of Operations for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2006. The assets and liabili- ties of the Training Business have not been reclassified within the Consolidated Balance Sheet as the net assets of the Training Business are less than 0.5% of the total consolidated net assets of the Company.

Under the Receivables Facilities, the Company may sell certain accounts receivable (the “Receivables”) in exchange for cash less a discount based on LIBOR plus a margin. Such transactions have been accounted for as a true sale, in accordance with SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities.” The Receivables Facilities, of which $200.0 million expires in May 2006 and $146.0 million does not have an expiration date, require that the Company continue to service, administer and collect the sold accounts receivable. During the year ended January 31, 2006, the Company received gross proceeds of $796.1 million from the sale of the Receivables and recognized related discounts totaling $5.5 million. The proceeds, net of the discount incurred, are reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in operat- ing activities within cash received from customers and the change in accounts receivable.

The Company uses the Receivables Facilities as a source of working capital funding. The Receivables Facilities limit the amount of purchased accounts receivable the financial institutions may hold to $346.0 million at January 31, 2006, based Depreciation expense, including amortization expense of assets recorded under capital leases, included in income from continuing operations for the years ended January 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 totaled $30.6 million, $33.1 million, and $35.2 million, respec- tively. Property and equipment leased under capital leases was approximately $14.5 million and $17.2 million, net of accumulated depreciation of $8.2 million and $7.1 million, at January 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively (see Note 8—Long-Term Debt). Property and equipment recorded as capital leases is comprised of a logis- tics center and related equipment in EMEA.  T e c h D a t a C o r p o r a t i o n a n d S u b s i d i a r i e s 3 8 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 5 — GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended January 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, are as follows: The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”). SFAS No. 142 requires an annual review for impairment, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. This review includes the determination of each reporting unit’s fair value using market multiples and discounted cash flow modeling. Separable intangible assets that have finite lives continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. During the fourth quarters of fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company performed its annual review for impairment of goodwill and determined there were no impairments.

These capitalized intangible assets included capitalized interest of $0.3 million, $0.6 million and $0.8 million for the respective periods. These capital- ized assets related solely to software and software development expenditures to be used in the Company’s operations. The weighted average amortization period for all intangible assets capitalized during fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 approximated nine, eight and seven years, respectively. The weighted average amortization period of all intangible assets was approximately nine, nine and eight years for fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Amortization expense included in income from continuing operations for the years ended January 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 totaled $21.2 million, $20.0 million and $17.7 million, respectively.

In connection with this restruc- turing program, the Company has recorded and will continue to record charges for workforce reductions and the optimization of facilities and systems. Excluding consulting costs, total cash charges associated with the restructuring program are estimated to be in the range of $40.0 to $50.0 million, comprised of $24.0 to $30.0 million related to workforce reductions and $16.0 to $20.0 million related to the optimization of facilities and systems. Through January 31, 2006, the Company has incurred $30.9 million related to the restructuring program, comprised of approximately $18.9 million related to workforce reductions and approximately $12.0 million for facility costs. The remaining charges are expected to be incurred over the next three quarters and may vary each quarter depending upon the timing of certain actions. Costs related to the restructuring program have been funded by operating cash flows and the Company’s credit facilities. The recognition of restructuring charges requires the Company’s management to make judgments and estimates regarding the nature, timing, and amount of costs associated with the restructuring plan. Although the Company believes its estimates are appropriate and reason- able based on available information, actual results could differ from those estimates. The restructuring charges are incurred pursuant to formal plans developed by management and are accounted for in accordance with the guidance set forth in SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” The costs related to this restructuring program, other than the external consulting costs, are reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as “restructuring charges,” which is a component of operating income. The accrued restructuring charges are included in “accrued expenses and other liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. In addition, during the nine months ended January 31, 2006, the Company incurred approximately $9.6 million of external consult- ing costs related to the restructuring program. These consulting costs are included in “selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Summarized below is the activity related to accruals for restruc- turing charges recorded during the year ended January 31, 2006: Employee termination benefits Facility costs Total (In thousands) Balance as of January 31, 2005 . . . $ — 18,888 Charges to operations . . . . . . . . . .

Under this program, which expires in August 2006, the Company legally iso- lated certain U.S. trade receivables into a wholly-owned bank- ruptcy remote special purpose entity. Such receivables, which are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, totaled $515.3 million and $505.0 million at January 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. As collections reduce accounts receivable balances included in the pool, the Company may transfer interests in new receivables to bring the amount available to be borrowed up to the maximum. The Company pays interest on advances under the Receivables Securitization Program at designated commercial paper rates plus an agreed-upon margin. The Company plans to renew this program in August 2006.  T e c h D a t a C o r p o r a t i o n a n d S u b s i d i a r i e s 4 0 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Under the terms of the Company’s Multi-currency Revolving Credit Facility with a syndicate of banks, the Company is able to borrow funds in major foreign currencies up to a maximum of $250.0 million. Under this facility, which expires in March 2010, the Company has provided either a pledge of stock or a guarantee of certain of its significant subsidiaries. The Company pays interest on advances under this facility at the applicable LIBOR rate plus a margin based on the Company’s credit ratings. The Company can fix the interest rate for periods of 7 to 180 days under various interest rate options. In addition to the facilities described above, the Company has additional lines of credit and overdraft facilities totaling approxi- mately $674.7 million at January 31, 2006 to support its worldwide operations. Most of these facilities are provided on an unsecured, short-term basis and are reviewed periodically for renewal. The total capacity of the aforementioned credit facilities was approximately $1.3 billion, of which $235.1 million was outstanding at January 31, 2006. The Company’s credit agreements contain limitations on the amounts of annual dividends and repurchases of common stock. Additionally, the credit agreements require compliance with certain warranties and covenants on a continuing basis. The financial ratio covenants contained within the credit agreements include a debt to capitalization ratio, an interest to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, deprecation and amorti- zation) ratio and a tangible net worth requirement. At January 31, 2006, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants. The ability to draw funds under these credit facilities is dependent upon sufficient collateral (in the case of the Receivables Securitization Program) and meeting the aforementioned financial covenants, which may limit the Company’s ability to draw the full amount of these facilities. As of January 31, 2006, the maximum amount that could be borrowed under these facilities, in consider- ation of the availability of collateral and the financial covenants, was approximately $1.1 billion. At January 31, 2006, the Company had issued standby letters of credit of $22.4 million. These letters of credit typically act as a guarantee of payment to certain third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions. The issuance of these letters of credit reduces the Company’s available capacity under the above mentioned facilities by the same amount.

The debentures bore interest at 2% per year and were convertible into the Company’s common stock, if the market price of the common stock exceeded a specified percentage of the conversion price per share of com- mon stock, beginning at 120% and declining 1/2% each year until it reaches 110% at maturity, or in other specified instances. Holders could convert debentures into 16.7997 shares per $1,000 principal amount of debentures, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $59.53 per share. The debentures were convert- ible into 4,871,913 shares of the Company’s common stock. Holders had the option to require the Company to repurchase the debentures on any of the fourth, eighth, twelfth or sixteenth anniversary dates from the issue date at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest to the repurchase date. The Company had the option to satisfy such repurchases in either cash and/or the Company’s common stock, provided that shares of common stock at the first purchase date will be valued at 95% of fair mar- ket value (as defined in the indenture) and at 97.5% of fair market value for all subsequent purchase dates. The debentures were redeemable in whole or in part for cash at the Company’s option at any time on or after December 20, 2005. Additionally, the debentures were subordinated in right of payment to all senior indebtedness of the Company and were effectively subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries. 2 0 0 6 A n n u a l R e p o r t 4 1 In December 2004, the Company completed an Exchange Offer whereby approximately 99.3% of the Company’s then outstand- ing $290.0 million convertible subordinated debentures (the “Old Notes”) were exchanged for new debentures (the “New Notes”). The New Notes had substantially identical terms to the previously outstanding Old Notes except for the following modifications: a) a net share settlement feature that provides that holders will receive, upon redemption, cash for the principal amount of the New Notes and stock for any remaining amount due; b) an adjustment to the conversion rate upon payment of cash dividends or distributions as well as a modification to the options available to the New Note holders in the event of a change in control; and c) a modification to the calculation of contingent interest payable, if any. As the holders of both the New Notes and the Old Notes had the option to require the Company to repurchase the debentures on certain dates, beginning with December 15, 2005, the Company classi- fied the debentures as a current liability at January 31, 2005. In accordance with the debenture agreement, on December 15, 2005, the debenture holders of the New Notes exercised their option to require the Company to repurchase the debentures. The Company repurchased the New Notes using cash and existing credit lines. In addition, prior to January 31, 2006, the Company also repurchased the Old Notes using cash and existing credit lines. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 04-8, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Instruments on Diluted Earnings Per Share,” the dilutive impact of the New Notes is excluded from the diluted EPS calculations due to the conditions for the contingent conversion feature not being met. Since only $2.0 million of the original $290.0 million of Old Notes were not exchanged for New Notes in connection with the Exchange Offer, there is no impact on previously reported diluted EPS or on diluted EPS for the years ended January 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The aforementioned debentures were subordinated in right of payment to all senior indebtedness of the Company and were effectively subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries.

The net proceeds from any issuance are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures, the repayment or refinancing of debt and to meet working capital needs. As of January 31, 2006, the Company had not issued any debt or equity securities under this registration statement, nor can any assurances be given that the Company will issue any debt or equity securities under this registration statement in the future. NOTE 9 —INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”). In accordance with SFAS No. 109, the Company evaluates the ability to realize its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. This evaluation takes into consideration all positive and negative evidence and a variety of factors, including the scheduled reversal of temporary differences, historical and projected future taxable income, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. As a result of the Company’s quarterly deferred tax asset eval- uation, during the second quarter of fiscal 2006, a non-cash charge of $56.0 million was recorded to increase the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets related to specific jurisdic- tions in EMEA, primarily Germany. While the Company believes its restructuring efforts will improve the operating performance within its German operations, the Company determined this  T e c h D a t a C o r p o r a t i o n a n d S u b s i d i a r i e s 4 2 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) charge to be appropriate due to the cumulative losses expected to be realized through the current fiscal year, with such cumulative losses not being utilized in future periods through the implemen- tation of prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. To the extent that the Company generates consistent taxable income within those operations requiring a valuation allowance, the Company may reduce the valuation allowance on the related deferred tax assets, thereby reducing the income tax expense and increasing net income in the same period. The underlying net operating loss carryforwards remain available to offset future tax- able income in the specific jurisdictions requiring a valuation allowance, subject to applicable tax laws and regulations.

The reversal of previously accrued income taxes represents the reversal of $11.5 million in accrued taxes due to the favorable resolution of various income tax examinations during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005.

The valuation allowance at January 31, 2006 and 2005 primarily relates to foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $375.7 million and $321.6 million, respectively. The majority of the net operating losses have an indefinite carryforward period with the remaining portion expiring in fiscal years 2007 through 2021. The Company evaluates a variety of factors in determining the realizability of deferred tax assets, including the scheduled reversal of temporary differences, projected future taxable income, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. During fiscal 2005, $39.2 million of the loss carryforward deferred tax asset was reclassified due to a corporate reorganiza- tion in Germany. As part of the reorganization, a tax election was made, which converted a portion of the German net operating losses into tax deductible goodwill. The cumulative amount of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries for which U.S. income taxes have not been provided was approximately $83.1 million at January 31, 2006. It is not cur- rently practical to estimate the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income taxes that might be payable on the repatriation of these earnings. NOTE 10 — EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS Stock Compensation Plans At January 31, 2006, the Company had awards outstanding under four stock-based compensation plans, two of which are currently active and which authorize the issuance of 10.5 million shares, of which approximately 2.2 million shares are available for future grant. Under the plans, the Company is authorized to award officers, employees, and non-employee members of the Board of Directors restricted stock, options to purchase common stock, maximum-value stock-settled stock appreciation rights (“MV Stock-settled SARS”), maximum-value stock options (“MVOs”) and performance awards that are dependent upon achievement of specified performance goals. Equity-based compensation grants have a maximum term of 10 years, unless a shorter period is spec- ified by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Grants and awards under the plans are priced as determined by the Compensation Committee and under the terms of the Company’s active stock-based compensation plans and are required to be priced at, or above, the fair market value on the date of grant. Awards generally vest between one and five years from the date of grant. The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its plans. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the issuance of 1.6 million long-term incentive awards in the form of MV Stock-settled SARs and MVOs pursuant to the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan of Tech Data Corporation, as amended. MV Stock-settled SARs and MVOs are similar to tradi- tional stock options, except these instruments contain a predeter- mined cap on the exercise price. In addition, upon exercise, a MV Stock-settled SAR requires the Company to settle the spread (the difference between the exercise price and the grant price) in shares of the Company’s common stock. The grant price of the MV Stock-settled SARs and MVOs was determined using the last sale price as quoted on the NASDAQ on the date of grant (or higher as required based on the laws and regulations of specific foreign jurisdictions). The terms of the awards (i.e., vesting sched- ule, contractual term, etc.) were not materially different from the terms of traditional stock options previously granted by the Company. MV Stock-settled SARs are required to be accounted for as variable awards, until the earlier of the exercise of these awards or the implementation of SFAS No. 123R. In accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, variable awards are to be remeasured on a quarterly basis with changes in value recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations as compen- sation expense. Compensation expense of approximately $0.1 mil- lion was recorded for these instruments during the year ended January 31, 2006.  T e c h D a t a C o r p o r a t i o n a n d S u b s i d i a r i e s 4 4 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) A summary of the status of the Company’s stock option plans is as follows: January 31, 2006 January 31, 2005 January 31, 2004 Outstanding at beginning of year . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6,843,585 Granted . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1,600,027 (596,786) Exercised . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Under the terms of the ESPP, employees can choose to have a fixed dollar amount or percentage deducted from their bi-weekly compensation to pur- chase the Company’s common stock and/or elect to purchase shares once per calendar quarter. The purchase price of the stock is 85% of the market value on the exercise date and employees are limited to a maximum purchase of $25,000 in fair market value each calendar year. From the inception of the ESPP through January 31, 2006, the Company has sold 387,005 shares of com- mon stock to the ESPP. All shares purchased under the ESPP must be held for a period of one year. 2 0 0 6 A n n u a l R e p o r t 4 5 Pro Forma Effect of Stock Compensation Plans As disclosed in Note 1—Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Company has included the pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share reflecting the compen- sation cost that the Company would have recorded on its equity incentive plans plan had it used the fair value at grant date for awards under the plans consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123. The weighted average estimated fair value of the MV Stock-settled SARs and MVOs granted during the year ended January 31, 2006 was $7.70 based on a two-step valuation utiliz- ing both the Hull-White Lattice (binomial) and Black-Scholes option-pricing models using the following weighted average assumptions: Year ended January 31, 2006 Expected option term (years) Expected volatility Risk-free interest rate Expected dividend yield Suboptimal exercise factor Hull-White Lattice . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Retirement Savings Plan The Company sponsors the Tech Data Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan (“the 401(k) Savings Plan”) for its employees. At the Company’s discretion, participant deferrals are matched monthly, in the form of company stock, in an amount equal to 50% of the first 6% of participant deferrals and participants are fully vested following four years of qualified service. At January 31, 2006 and 2005, the number of shares of Tech Data common stock held by the Company’s 401(k) Savings Plan totaled 329,000 and 334,000 shares, respectively. Aggregate contributions made by the Company to the 401(k) Savings Plan were $2.3 million and $1.8 million for fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005, respectively. Tech Data did not make any contribu- tions to the 401(k) Savings Plan in fiscal 2004. On March 31, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors autho- rized a share repurchase program of up to $100.0 million of the Company’s common stock (increased to $200.0 million in November 2005). The Company’s share repurchases are made on the open market through block trades or otherwise. The number of shares purchased and the timing of the purchases is based on working capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors, including alternative investment opportunities. Shares repurchased by the Company are held in treasury for gen- eral corporate purposes, including issuances under employee equity incentive plans. During fiscal 2006, the Company repur- chased 3,443,131 shares comprised of 3,260,576 shares purchased in conjunction with the Company’s share repurchase program and 182,555 shares purchased outside of the stock repurchase program, at an average of $36.89 per share, for a total cost, including expenses, of approximately $127.0 million.  T e c h D a t a C o r p o r a t i o n a n d S u b s i d i a r i e s 4 6 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 12 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Operating Leases The Company leases logistics centers, office facilities and cer- tain equipment under noncancelable operating leases that expire at various dates through 2015. Fair value renewal and purchase options and escalation clauses exist for a substantial portion of the operating leases included above. Rental expense related to continuing operations for all operating leases, including minimum commitments under IT outsourcing agreements, totaled $59.0 million, $58.6 million and $55.9 million in fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Future minimum lease payments at January 31, 2006 under all such leases, including minimum commitments under IT outsourcing agreements, for succeeding fiscal years are as follows (in thousands): Fiscal year: 2007. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 62,493 54,841 2008. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 44,846 2009. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 37,383 2010. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 29,450 2011. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The Restructured Lease expires in fiscal year 2008, at which time the Company has the following options: renew the lease for an addi- tional five years, purchase the properties at an amount equal to their cost, or remarket the properties. If the Company elects to remarket the properties, it has guaranteed the lessor a percentage of the cost of each of the properties, in an aggregate amount of approximately $121.0 million (the “residual value”). At any time during the lease term, the Company may, at its option, purchase up to four of the seven properties, at an amount equal to each property’s cost. The Company pays interest on the Restructured Lease at LIBOR plus an agreed-upon margin. The Restructured Lease contains covenants that must be complied with on a con- tinuous basis, similar to the covenants described in certain of the credit facilities discussed in Note 7—Revolving Credit Loans. The amount funded under the Restructured Lease (approximately $136.7 million at January 31, 2006) is treated as debt under the definition of the covenants required under both the Restructured Lease and the credit facilities. As of January 31, 2006, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants. The sum of future minimum lease payments under the Restructured Lease at January 31, 2006 was approximately $20.9 million. Properties leased under the Restructured Lease are located in Clearwater and Miami, Florida; Fort Worth, Texas; Fontana, California; Suwanee, Georgia; Swedesboro, New Jersey; and South Bend, Indiana. The Restructured Lease has been accounted for as an operat- ing lease. FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 46 requires the Company to evaluate whether an entity with which it is involved meets the criteria of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and, if so, whether the Company is required to consolidate that entity. The Company has determined that the third-party lessor of its synthetic lease facility does not meet the criteria of a VIE and, therefore, is not subject to the consolidation provisions of FIN No. 46. Contingencies Prior to fiscal 2004, one of the Company’s European subsidi- aries was audited in relation to various value-added tax (“VAT”) matters. As a result of those audits, the subsidiary received notices of assessment that allege the subsidiary did not properly collect and remit VAT. It is management’s opinion, based upon the opin- ion of outside legal counsel, that the Company has valid defenses related to a substantial portion of these assessments. Although the Company is vigorously pursuing administrative and judicial action to challenge the assessments, no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome. The resolution of such assessments could be material to the Company’s operating results for any particular period, depending upon the level of income for such period. The Company is subject to various other legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s management does not expect that the outcome in any of these other legal proceedings, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Guarantees As is customary in the IT industry, to encourage certain cus- tomers to purchase products from Tech Data, the Company has arrangements with certain finance companies that provide inven- tory financing facilities to the Company’s customers. In conjunction with certain of these arrangements, the Company would be required to purchase certain inventory in the event the inventory is repossessed from the customers by the finance companies. For various reasons, including the lack of information regarding the 2 0 0 6 A n n u a l R e p o r t 4 7 amount of saleable inventory purchased from the Company still on hand with the customer at any point in time, the Company’s repurchase obligations relating to inventory cannot be reasonably estimated. Repurchases of inventory by the Company under these arrangements have been insignificant to date. The Company also provides additional financial guarantees to finance companies on behalf of certain customers. The majority of these guarantees are for an indefinite period of time, where the Company would be required to perform if the customer is in default with the finance company. The Company reviews the underlying credit for these guarantees on at least an annual basis. As of January 31, 2006 and 2005, the aggregate amount of guarantees under these arrangements totaled approximately $7.0 million and $9.7 million, respectively, of which approximately $2.9 million and $5.3 million, respectively, was outstanding. The Company believes that, based on historical experience, the likelihood of a material loss pursuant to both of the above guarantees is remote. The Company also provides residual value guarantees related to the Restructured Lease which have been recorded at the estimated fair value of the residual guarantees. NOTE 13 —SEGMENT INFORMATION Tech Data operates predominately in a single industry segment as a distributor of IT products, logistics management, and other value-added services. While the Company operates primarily in one industry, because of its global presence, the Company is man- aged by its geographic segments. The Company’s geographic segments include the Americas (United States, Canada, Latin America, and export sales to the Caribbean) and EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and export sales to Africa). The Company assesses performance of and makes decisions on how to allocate resources to its operating segments based on multiple factors including current and projected operating income and market opportuni- ties. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1—Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Financial information by geographic segment is as follows.

Net income in the quarter ended January 31, 2005 includes an $11.5 million reversal of previously accrued income taxes resulting from the favorable resolution of several tax audits concluded dur- ing the quarter, which increased diluted earnings per share from continuing operations by $0.19 per share for the quarter ended January 31, 2005. RISK FACTORS The following are certain risk factors that could affect our busi- ness, financial position and results of operations. These risk factors should be considered in connection with evaluating the forward- looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K because these factors could cause the actual results and condi- tions to differ materially from those projected in the forward- looking statements. Before you buy our common stock or other securities, you should know that making such an investment involves risks, including the risks described below. The risks that have been highlighted below are not the only risks of our business. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be negatively affected. In that case, the trading price of our common stock or other securities could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Certain risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements include the following: Competition The Company operates in a highly competitive environment. The computer wholesale distribution industry is characterized by intense competition, based primarily on product availability, credit availability, price, speed of delivery, ability to tailor specific solu- tions to customer needs, quality and depth of product lines and training, service and support. Weakness in demand in the market intensifies the competitive environment in which the Company operates. The Company competes with a variety of regional, national and international wholesale distributors, some of which have greater financial resources than the Company. The Company also faces competition from companies entering or expanding into the logistics and product fulfillment and e-commerce supply chain services market. Narrow Profit Margins As a result of intense price competition in the industry, the Company has narrow gross profit and operating profit margins. These narrow margins magnify the impact on operating results attributed to variations in sales and operating costs. Future gross profit and operating margins may be adversely affected by changes in product mix, vendor pricing actions and competitive and economic pressures. In addition, failure to attract new sources of business from expansion of products or services or entry into new markets may adversely affect future gross profit and oper- ating margins. Dependence on Information Systems The Company is highly dependent upon its internal computer and telecommunication systems to operate its business. There can be no assurance that the Company’s information systems will not fail or experience disruptions, that the Company will be able to attract and retain qualified personnel necessary for the operation of such systems, that the Company will be able to expand and improve its information systems, that the Company will be able to convert to new systems efficiently, or that the Company will be able to integrate new programs effectively with its existing pro- grams. Any of such problems could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business. Restructuring Activities In May 2005, the Company initiated a restructuring program in the EMEA region. We may experience delays or greater than expected costs in implementing our restructuring program, and our efforts may fail to achieve the desired improvements in our EMEA operating and gross profit margins. Changes in organiza- tional structure, personnel, job duties and processes related to this restructuring program will require significant management resources and may reduce productivity during implementation of the program. Because the Company operates with narrow operat- ing margins and gross profit margins, lower productivity could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, particularly if it occurs during seasonal peaks in our business.  T e c h D a t a C o r p o r a t i o n a n d S u b s i d i a r i e s 5 0 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Acquisitions As part of its growth strategy, the Company pursues the acqui- sition of companies that either complement or expand its existing business. As a result, the Company regularly evaluates potential acquisition opportunities, which may be material in size and scope. Acquisitions involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including expansion into new geographic markets and business areas, the requirement to understand local business practices, the diversion of management’s attention to the assimilation of the operations and personnel of the acquired companies, the possible requirement to upgrade the acquired companies’ management information systems to the Company’s standards, potential adverse short-term effects on the Company’s operating results and the amortization or impairment of any acquired intangible assets. Exposure to Natural Disasters, War, and Terrorism The Company’s headquarters facilities and some of its logistics centers as well as certain vendors and customers are located in areas prone to natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes, torna- does, or earthquakes. In addition, demand for the Company’s services is concentrated in major metropolitan areas. Adverse weather conditions, major electrical failures or other natural disas- ters in these major metropolitan areas may disrupt the Company’s business should its ability to distribute products be impacted by such an event. The Company operates in multiple geographic markets, several of which may be susceptible to acts of war and terrorism. The Company’s business could be adversely affected should its ability to distribute products be impacted by such events. The Company and many of its suppliers receive parts and prod- ucts from Asia and operate in many parts of the world that may be susceptible to disease or epidemic that may disrupt the Company’s ability to receive or deliver products or other disrup- tions in operations. Dependence on Independent Shipping Companies The Company relies on arrangements with independent ship- ping companies, such as Federal Express and United Parcel Service, for the delivery of its products from vendors and to customers. The failure or inability of these shipping companies to deliver products, or the unavailability of their shipping services, even temporarily, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. The Company may also be adversely affected by an increase in freight surcharges due to rising fuel costs and added security. There can be no assurance that Tech Data will be able to pass along the full effect of an increase in these surcharges to its customers. Labor Strikes The Company’s labor force is currently non-union with the exception of employees of certain European and Latin American subsidiaries, which are subject to collective bargaining or similar arrangements. The Company does business in certain foreign countries where labor disruption is more common than is experi- enced in the United States and some of the freight carriers used by the Company are unionized. A labor strike by a group of the Company’s employees, one of the Company’s freight carriers, one of its vendors, a general strike by civil service employees, or a gov- ernmental shutdown could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business. Many of the products the Company sells are manufactured in countries other than the countries in which the Company’s logistics centers are located. The inability to receive products into the logistics centers because of government action or labor disputes at critical ports of entry may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. Risk of Declines in Inventory Value The Company is subject to the risk that the value of its inven- tory will decline as a result of price reductions by vendors or tech- nological obsolescence. It is the policy of most of the Company’s vendors to protect distributors from the loss in value of inventory due to technological change or the vendors’ price reductions. Some vendors, however, may be unwilling or unable to pay the Company for price protection claims or products returned to them under purchase agreements. Moreover, industry practices are sometimes not embodied in written agreements and do not pro- tect the Company in all cases from declines in inventory value. No assurance can be given that such practices to protect distributors will continue, that unforeseen new product developments will not adversely affect the Company, or that the Company will be able to successfully manage its existing and future inventories. 2 0 0 6 A n n u a l R e p o r t 5 1 Product Availability The Company is dependent upon the supply of products avail- able from its vendors. The industry is characterized by periods of severe product shortages due to vendors’ difficulties in projecting demand for certain products distributed by the Company. When such product shortages occur, the Company typically receives an allocation of product from the vendor. There can be no assurance that vendors will be able to maintain an adequate supply of prod- ucts to fulfill all of the Company’s customer orders on a timely basis. Failure to obtain adequate product supplies could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business. Vendor Terms and Conditions The Company relies on various rebates, cash discounts, and cooperative marketing programs offered by its vendors to support expenses associated with distributing and marketing the vendors’ products. Currently, the rebates and purchase discounts offered by vendors are influenced by sales volumes and percentage increases in sales, and are subject to changes by the vendors. Additionally, certain of the Company’s vendors subsidize floorplan financing arrangements for the benefit of our customers. Termi- nations of a supply or services agreement or a significant change in supplier terms or conditions of sale could negatively affect our operating margins, revenue or the level of capital required to fund our operations. The Company receives a significant percentage of revenues from products it purchases from relatively few manufacturers. As has historically been the case, a manufacturer may make rapid, significant and adverse changes in its sales terms and conditions, such as reducing the amount of price protection and return rights as well as reducing the level of purchase discounts and rebates they make available to us, or may merge with or acquire other significant manufacturers. The Company’s gross margins could be materially and negatively impacted if the Company is unable to pass through the impact of these changes to the Company’s cus- tomers or cannot develop systems to manage ongoing supplier programs. In addition, the Company’s standard vendor distribution agreement permits termination without cause by either party upon 30 days notice. The loss of a relationship with any of the Company’s key vendors, a change in their strategy (such as increasing direct sales), the merging of significant manufacturers, or significant changes in terms on their products may adversely affect the Company’s business. Loss of Significant Customers Customers do not have an obligation to make purchases from the Company. In some cases, the Company has made adjustments to its systems, vendor offerings, and processes, and made staffing decisions, in order to accommodate the needs of a significant customer. In the event a significant customer decides to make its purchases from another distributor, experiences a significant change in demand from its own customer base, becomes finan- cially unstable, or is acquired by another company, the Company’s receipt of revenues may be significantly affected, resulting in an adverse effect on the Company’s business. Customer Credit Exposure The Company sells its products to a large customer base of value-added resellers, direct marketers, retailers and corporate resellers. The Company finances a significant portion of such sales through trade credit. As a result, the Company’s business could be adversely affected in the event of a deterioration of the finan- cial condition of its customers, resulting in the customers’ inability to repay the Company. This risk may increase if there is a general economic downturn affecting a large number of the Company’s customers and in the event the Company’s customers do not adequately manage their business or properly disclose their finan- cial condition. Need for Liquidity and Capital Resources; Fluctuations in Interest Rates The Company’s business requires substantial capital to operate and to finance accounts receivable and product inventory that are not financed by trade creditors. The Company has historically relied upon cash generated from operations, bank credit lines, trade credit from its vendors, proceeds from public offerings of its common stock and proceeds from debt offerings to satisfy its capital needs and finance growth. The Company utilizes various financing instruments such as receivables securitization, leases, revolving credit facilities and trade receivable purchase facilities. As the financial markets change and new regulations come into  T e c h D a t a C o r p o r a t i o n a n d S u b s i d i a r i e s 5 2 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) effect, the cost of acquiring financing and the methods of financ- ing may change. Changes in our credit rating or other market factors may increase our interest expense or other costs of capital, or capital may not be available to us on acceptable terms to fund our working capital needs. The Company will continue to need additional financing, including debt financing. The inability to obtain such sources of capital could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business. The Company’s credit facilities contain vari- ous financial and other covenants that may limit the Company’s ability to borrow or limit the Company’s flexibility in responding to business conditions. These financing instruments involve variable rate debt, thus exposing the Company to risk of fluctuations in interest rates. Such fluctuations in interest rates could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business. Foreign Currency Exchange Risks; Exposure to Foreign Markets The Company conducts business in countries outside of the United States, which exposes the Company to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company may enter into short-term forward exchange or option contracts to hedge this risk; nevertheless, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business. In par- ticular, the value of the Company’s equity investment in foreign countries may fluctuate based upon changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These fluctuations, which are recorded in a cumu- lative translation adjustment account, may result in losses in the event a foreign subsidiary is sold or closed at a time when the foreign currency is weaker than when the Company initially invested in the country. The Company’s international operations are subject to other risks such as the imposition of governmental controls, export license requirements, restrictions on the export of certain technol- ogy, political instability, trade restrictions, tariff changes, difficulties in staffing and managing international operations, changes in the interpretation and enforcement of laws (in particular related to items such as duty and taxation), difficulties in collecting accounts receivable, longer collection periods and the impact of local eco- nomic conditions and practices. There can be no assurance that these and other factors will not have an adverse effect on the Company’s business. Potential Asset Impairments from Declines in Operating Performance The Company assesses potential impairments to long-lived assets, including property and equipment, certain deferred tax assets, certain intangible assets and other long-lived assets, when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company assesses potential impairments to indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill and deferred tax assets, at least annually and more frequently if current events and circumstances indicate a possible impairment. The Company’s operations in the EMEA region have been considerably more challenging as a result of somewhat weaker demand in certain countries in Europe and slowing IT demand. As a result, the Company has launched a formal restructuring program for the EMEA region. Should the operating performance in EMEA not improve, the Company may be required to recognize an impairment charge related to its long- lived and/or indefinite-lived assets. A significant impairment loss could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operating results for the period during which the impairment is recorded. Changes in Income Tax and Other Regulatory Legislation The Company operates in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. When new legislation is enacted with minimal advance notice, or when new interpretations or applications of existing laws are made, the Company may need to implement changes in its policies or structure. 2 0 0 6 A n n u a l R e p o r t 5 3 Volatility of Common Stock Price Because of the foregoing factors, as well as other variables affecting the Company’s operating results, past financial perfor- mance should not be considered a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods. In addition, the Company’s participation in a highly dynamic industry often results in significant volatility of the common stock price. Some of the factors that may affect the market price of the common stock, in addition to those discussed above, are changes in investment recommendations by securities analysts, changes in market valua- tions of competitors and key vendors, and fluctuations in the overall stock market, but particularly in the technology sector. In addition, recent legislation requires all member states of the European Union to adopt the European Directive 2002/96/EC regarding Waste in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (“WEEE Directive”) and 2002/95/EC regarding restrictions of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equip- ment (“RoHS Directive”) into national law. The manner and timing of adoption of these laws may impact the Company as it remains unclear to what extent the Company will be deemed a producer subject to compliance with these regulations and the financial costs and guarantees thereby required. The Company makes plans for its structure and operations based upon existing laws and anticipated future changes in the law. The Company is susceptible to unanticipated changes in leg- islation, especially relating to income and other taxes, import/ export laws, hazardous materials and electronic waste recovery legislation, and other laws related to trade, accounting, and busi- ness activities. Such changes in legislation, both domestic and international, may have a significant adverse effect on the Company’s business. Changes in Accounting Rules The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These accounting principles are subject to interpretation by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Public Company Account- ing Oversight Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and various other bodies formed to interpret and create appropriate account- ing policies. A change in these policies or a new interpretation of an existing policy could have a significant effect on our reported results and may affect our reporting of transactions before a change is announced.  T e c h D a t a C o r p o r a t i o n a n d S u b s i d i a r i e s 5 4 MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT’S COMMON STOCK, RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market under the symbol “TECD.” We have not paid cash dividends since fiscal 1983 and the Board of Directors has no current plans to institute a cash dividend payment policy in the foreseeable future.
