These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, 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 net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held for investment purposes and reportable transactions are presented for purposes of complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ SPENCE, MARSTON, BUNCH, MORRIS & CO. ---------------------------------------- Spence, Marston, Bunch, Morris & Co.

Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. General - The Plan, adopted in May 1987, amended and restated in January 1994, is a defined contribution plan covering all employees of Tech Data Corporation and affiliated companies ("the Company") who have completed 1,000 hours of service during a twelve month consecutive period and are age eighteen or older. The Plan was amended effective August 1, 1996 to redefine the maximum elective deferral percentage allowable to 15% and 6% for non-highly compensated and highly compensated participants, respectively. Effective January 1, 1997, the Plan was amended for compliance with numerous regulatory changes. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The trustees of the Plan contracted with Aetna Life Insurance Company ("Aetna") to administer the Plan's assets and perform recordkeeping until June 30, 1999. Effective July 1, 1999, the trustees executed a trust agreement and contract for administration of Plan assets and recordkeeping with Scudder Trust Company ("Scudder"). Aetna provided participants a selection of mutual fund accounts and a Stable Value Option Fund (guaranteed interest contract account) as investment vehicles for contributions. Effective with the change in trustees, participants' investment vehicle options are twelve mutual funds, a money market fund and common stock of Tech Data Corporation. Participants have the ability to direct the investment of their account balances among various combinations of these options. Each mutual fund account has unique and varied investment objectives, including, but not limited to corporate stock and debt instruments and money market instruments. Contributions - Participants contribute to the Plan based on the amount they have specified in a salary deferral agreement. The Plan allows non-highly compensated participants to contribute from 1% to 15% of their annual compensation. The deferral percentage for highly compensated participants is limited to 6% effective August 1, 1996. Contributions made by the Company are at the discretion of its Board of Directors and may consist of direct employer contributions and matching contributions. For the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company matched salary deferrals up to 5%, with a maximum matching contribution of $500 per participant. Expenses of the plan - All direct expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan are paid by the Company. Fees paid directly by participants are shown as a deduction from net assets in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits. Participant accounts - Earnings are allocated in proportion to the account values of the participant's account which is invested in the investment facilities from which the earnings arise. Loans - The Plan allows participants to borrow from the Plan for any purpose. Participants may borrow up to 50% of their vested account balance provided the loan does not exceed $50,000. Loans must be for a minimum of $1,000 and are collateralized by the participant's account. Vesting - Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions, direct employer contributions and matching contributions, plus actual earnings thereon. Payment of benefits - Participants are eligible to receive benefits (1) upon reaching retirement age, (2) upon the disability of the participant, or (3) upon termination of service. Distributions are normally paid in a lump-sum amount. The amount of assets that have been allocated to participants who have withdrawn from the Plan as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, but for whom distribution of those funds from the Plan had not yet been made were approximately $2,200,000 and $2,052,581, respectively. -4- TECH DATA CORPORATION RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of accounting - The accounts of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis. Valuation of investments - Investments in the Stable Value Option Fund (guaranteed interest contract account) are valued at book value which approximates fair value. Investments in mutual funds, the money market fund, and Tech Data Corporation common stock are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the plan year. Net appreciation in the fair value of investments for the year is reflected in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits. Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates. Reclassification - For comparative purposes, certain amounts in the December 31, 1998 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the December 31, 1999 presentation. (3) PARTICIPANT DIRECTED INVESTMENTS The Plan's participant directed investment funds are summarized as follows (there were no non-participant directed funds at December 31, 1999 and 1998): December 31, 1999 ------------------------------------ Number of Fair Shares Value ------------- -------------- Investments at fair value as determined by quoted market price: Money market fund: Scudder Cash Investment Trust 3,174,846 $3,174,846 Mutual funds: Kemper High Yield Fund 3,355 24,091 Strong Government Securities 5,364 54,073 Scudder Balanced Fund 113,601 2,402,668 Scudder Pathway Series: Conservative 496 6,044 Scudder Pathway Series: Balanced 1,662 23,314 Scudder Pathway Series: Growth 3,308 58,154 Scudder Growth and Income Fund 183,983 4,910,497 Scudder Large Company Growth Fund 412,217 17,424,428 Scudder International Fund 51,541 3,646,042 INVESCO Dynamics 151,436 3,916,136 Managers Special Equity Fund 30,005 2,743,048 Vanguard 500 Index Fund 6,818 922,699 -------------- Total mutual funds 36,131,194 -------------- Tech Data Corporation common stock 21,629 596,583 Participant loans 1,353,811 -------------- Total investments at fair value $41,256,434 ============== -5- TECH DATA CORPORATION RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (3) PARTICIPANT DIRECTED INVESTMENTS, CONTINUED December 31, 1998 ------------------------------------ Principal Amount or Number of Fair Units Value ------------- -------------- Investment at estimated fair value: Guaranteed interest contract: Stable Value Option Fund $2,967,228 $2,967,228 Investments at fair value as determined by quoted market price: Mutual funds: The Aetna Fund 133,550 1,754,841 Aetna Growth and Income Fund 173,722 2,690,953 Aetna International Growth Fund 174,840 2,043,881 Neuberger & Berman Genesis Trust 87,760 1,785,032 Neuberger & Berman Guardian Trust 110,674 1,788,486 Neuberger & Berman Manhattan Trust 118,168 1,768,977 Twentieth Century Select Investors 72,347 3,428,503 Twentieth Century Ultra Investors 248,240 8,293,697 -------------- Total mutual funds 23,554,370 -------------- Participant loans 1,127,128 -------------- Total investments at fair value $27,648,726 ============== The Plan's investments, including investments bought, sold and held during the year, appreciated in value by $7,848,044, and $1,606,888 during the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, as follows: December 31, --------------------------------- 1999 1998 ------------ ------------- The Aetna Fund $ 107,604 $ 112,710 Aetna Growth and Income Fund 326,767 26,992 Aetna International Growth Fund 296,638 81,082 Neuberger & Berman Genesis Trust 85,613 (135,520) Neuberger & Berman Guardian Trust 273,329 (117,884) Neuberger & Berman Manhattan Trust 115,475 149,713 Twentieth Century Select Investors 498,145 235,327 Twentieth Century Ultra Investors 1,284,461 1,254,468 Kemper High Yield Fund (138) -- Strong Government Securities (624) -- Scudder Balanced Fund 129,013 -- Scudder Pathway Series: Conservative (105) -- Scudder Pathway Series: Balanced 787 -- -6- TECH DATA CORPORATION RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (3) PARTICIPANT DIRECTED INVESTMENTS, CONTINUED Scudder Pathway Series: Growth 4,906 -- Scudder Growth and Income Fund (497,477) -- Scudder Large Company Growth Fund 2,771,006 -- Scudder International Fund 869,766 -- INVESCO Dynamics 820,771 -- Managers Special Equity Fund 637,336 -- Vanguard 500 Index Fund 87,217 -- Tech Data Corporation common stock 37,554 -- ------------- ------------- Net appreciation in fair value of investments $7,848,044 $1,606,888 ============= ============= (4) GUARANTEED INTEREST CONTRACT ACCOUNT The Plan entered into an investment contract (guaranteed interest account) with Aetna Life Insurance Company on July 1, 1990. The contract is included in the financial statements at contract value (book value) which represents contributions deposited to the account plus interest at the guaranteed rate less withdrawals or transfers. Fair value approximates contract value during the term of the contract. However, upon termination of the contract, the contract provides for an adjustment to market value, which is calculated by discounting an installment payout schedule at a specified rate. This would result in a decrease in the value of the contract balance. Effective July 1, 1999, the contract with Aetna was terminated. Accordingly, the balance of the Stable Value Option Fund (the guaranteed interest contract account) was adjusted to market value according to the contract provisions, resulting in a total decrease in value of $118,701. (5) PLAN TERMINATION Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. (6) INCOME TAX STATUS The Plan obtained its latest determination letter in July 1997, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the plan administrator and the plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements. (7) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The Retirement Savings Plan and the Tech Data Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") were merged into a new defined contribution plan, the Tech Data Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan ("401(k) Savings Plan"), effective January 1, 2000. Each participant's account balance in the Retirement Savings Plan and the ESOP was transferred to the 401(k) Savings Plan. Changes in provisions of the 401(k) Savings Plan include increasing the maximum deferral rate from 15% to 17% for non-highly compensated participants, revision of the definition of compensation, eliminating the $500 limit on the employer match, and providing only the lump sum payment method for distributions of contributions and earnings subsequent to January 1, 2000. In addition, the 401(k) Savings Plan includes a graduated vesting schedule for Company matching and non-elective contributions and related earnings, subsequent to January 1, 2000, whereby participants are 100% vested after four years of service. -7- SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULES TECH DATA CORPORATION RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULES OF ASSETS HELD FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES December 31, 1999 and 1998 Employer identification number: 59-1578329 Plan number: 010
