ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

    CompUSA Inc. ("CompUSA" or the "Company") is one of the leading retailers
and resellers of personal computers and related products and services,
principally through its Computer Superstores(SM) located throughout the United
States. In addition to the retail sales of its stores, the Company's operations
also include direct sales to corporate, government, and education customers. In
addition, the Company conducts a retail Internet sales operation through its
wholly-owned subsidiary, CompUSA Net.com Inc. ("CompUSA Net.com") and sells
build-to-order desktop and notebook personal computers and servers through its
wholly-owned subsidiary, CompUSA PC Inc. The Company also provides training and
technical services to its retail and corporate, government, and education
customers.

    On August 31, 1998, the Company completed its acquisition of Computer City,
Inc. ("Computer City") from Tandy Corporation ("Tandy") for approximately $175
million, payable in a note and cash. The purchase price is subject to
post-closing adjustments that the Company anticipates finalizing with Tandy in
the second quarter of fiscal 2000. The sale was accounted for under the purchase
accounting method. The acquired operations included 96 retail stores located in
the United States, including two locations that had not opened, 59 of which the
Company has subsequently closed. The acquired operations also included seven
retail stores in Canada, which the Company sold to Future Shop Ltd. in November
1998, and six corporate sales and/or training offices, all of which the Company
has subsequently closed. The Company also acquired a call center and an assembly
facility located in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, both of which the Company is
currently operating. The acquired stores in the United States are operated under
the "CompUSA" name after being converted to the Company's format and merchandise
mix.

    Prior to the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company
announced a number of strategic initiatives intended to improve the Company's
financial performance by increasing gross margins, reducing operating costs,
improving customer service, and capitalizing on strategic growth opportunities.
The details of the Company's strategic initiatives with respect to each of its
businesses are discussed in Item 7 below, "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-- Fiscal 1999 compared with
Fiscal 1998." The description of the Company set forth in this Annual Report on
Form 10-K reflects changes made, or in the process of being made, to the
Company's structure and operations since June 24, 1999, as part of the Company's
efforts to implement the previously announced strategic initiatives.

    The Company was incorporated in Delaware in 1988 to effect the acquisition
of a company formed in 1984 called Soft Warehouse, Inc. Until March 1991, the
Company operated under the name "Soft Warehouse, Inc." Except where the context
indicates otherwise, all references in this Annual Report to "CompUSA" or the
"Company" include all subsidiaries of CompUSA. The Company's principal executive
offices are located at 14951 North Dallas Parkway, Dallas, Texas 75240, and its
telephone number is (972) 982-4000. Additional information about the Company can
be accessed via the Internet through www.compusa.com.

RETAIL

    The Company opened its first retail store in April 1985 and its first
Computer Superstore in April 1988. At June 26, 1999, the Company operated 211
Computer Superstores averaging approximately 26,000 square feet in 83
metropolitan areas in 42 states. At September 9, 1999, the Company operated 210
CompUSA Computer Superstores in 82 metropolitan areas in 42 states. In addition,
the Company operates seven "small market" concept stores. The Company plans to
open approximately ten Computer Superstores in fiscal 2000.

    The Company offers thousands of personal computer hardware and software and
related products and accessories as an essential component of its merchandising
strategy. In addition to its in-store

                                       1
<PAGE>
selection, which the Company believes is sufficiently broad to satisfy the needs
of most of its customers, CompUSA offers customers the ability to special order
approximately 30,000 additional products. Although prices for products and
services are typically determined centrally, local personnel regularly compare
these centrally determined prices with publicly available information regarding
prices of competitors, and managers have the authority to adjust in-store prices
in response to local competitive conditions within guidelines established and
controlled centrally. Major types of products offered are as follows:

    HARDWARE--Hardware products include desktop and notebook personal computers;
peripherals, such as printers, modems, monitors, data storage devices, add-on
circuit boards, and connectivity products; certain business machines, such as
facsimile machines, video conferencing equipment, and other related equipment
and supplies; and certain electronics products such as digital cameras,
hand-held personal computers, pagers, calculators, and virtual reality
accessories. Major vendors include 3-Com, Apple, Canon, Compaq, CompUSA PC,
Epson, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Maxtor, Packard Bell/NEC, PNY, Sony, Toshiba, and
Western Digital.

    SOFTWARE--The Company sells over 2,000 different software packages in the
business and personal productivity, entertainment, education, utility, language,
and reference categories. Major vendors include Corel, Electronic Arts, Havas,
Intuit, Lotus, Mattel, Microsoft, Network Associates, and Symantec.

    ACCESSORIES--Accessories sold by the Company include a broad range of
personal computer-related items and supplies such as CD-ROM drives, sound cards,
media storage, and other computer-related supplies. Major vendors include 3M,
Avery, Belkin, Curtis, Daisytek, Fellowes, Hewlett-Packard, Iomega, Kensington,
Logitech, Microsoft, Sony, and Targus.

    SERVICES--The Company also provides training and technical services through
its retail stores. See "--Services" below.

DIRECT SALES

    The Company believes that its presence in 82 metropolitan areas, broad
product assortment, competitive pricing, customer service, and training and
technical services position it to serve the diverse needs of corporate,
government, and education customers by offering a "total solution" to their
personal computing needs. CompUSA targets these customers primarily through
direct solicitations and telemarketing sales.

    In August 1999, the Company opened its new 80,000 square foot call center in
Dallas to accomodate its central sales and support functions. These centralized
functions support the regional sales structure of the Company's direct sales
business, which features area sales managers, technical services engineers and
support teams dedicated to specific markets. The sales and support call center
is accessible through the toll-free 1-800-COMPUSA telephone number.

    Direct sales product orders are fulfilled primarily through Ingram Micro
Inc. ("Ingram Micro"), pursuant to a contract that was executed in the first
quarter of fiscal 2000. Pursuant to the contract, the Company outsourced to
Ingram Micro a majority of the order fulfillment and configuration services for
the Company's direct sales to corporate, government, and education customers. A
portion of the Company's direct sales will continue to be fulfilled by the
Company from the inventories in its Computer Superstores, by an alternate
third-party order fulfillment and configuration provider, and, in the case of
CompUSA PC products, by CompUSA PC Inc. The Company believes that the
outsourcing to Ingram Micro should result in increased efficiencies and reduced
costs, while improving the quality of service provided to the Company's direct
sales customers. The outsourcing to Ingram Micro should also decrease the risk
of inventory obsolescence and declining price protection levels provided by
manufacturers.

    Substantially all of CompUSA's advertisements, including its color
circulars, feature the Company's toll-free 1-800-COMPUSA telephone number and
the URL for its Internet portal page, www.compusa.com. The Company advertises
major brands of personal computer hardware, software,

                                       2
<PAGE>
accessories, and supplies, as well as its full service offerings of training and
technical services in computer journals, magazines, catalogs, and many other
publications.

    CORPORATE--The Company has a dedicated corporate sales group that solicits
potential corporate customers and offers phone ordering, electronic order
placement via the Internet, delivery, business credit, leasing, and other
services, including a corporate assistance window in each Computer Superstore
for merchandise pickup and technical assistance. The Company offers volume
purchase and national account agreements to qualified major customers. The
Company's corporate sales group markets on the basis of overall merchandise
selection, pricing, and service along with classroom training and technical
services. The Company assigns an account executive to each of its larger
customers to manage the Company's relationship with the customer.

    GOVERNMENT AND EDUCATION--The government and education sales groups market
to federal, state, and local governments, government-related entities, and the
education market, both directly and as a supplier to systems integrators and
other contractors.

    As of September 9, 1999, over 10,000 products sold by the Company, from over
35 vendors, have been approved by the Federal General Services Administration
("GSA") on the 1996-2001 GSA schedule, making such products eligible for
purchase by federal agencies and certain state and local governments. In
addition to products listed on the GSA schedule, the Company sells to government
customers via the federal procurement card, electronic order placement via the
Internet, and state, county, and city contracts. The Company is also an approved
training and service vendor on the GSA schedule.

    To address the needs of its education customers, the Company also maintains
a sales group and support team dedicated to its education accounts. In addition
to product purchases, schools can contract with CompUSA for technical services
such as upgrades, maintenance, and telephone help desk support, as well as
computer training courses for students, faculty, and administration. The Company
provides these customers network design services by outsourcing to third-party
providers.

    SERVICES--The Company also provides training and technical services to its
direct sales customers. See "--Services" below.

COMPUSA PC

    In the first quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company introduced the "CompUSA
PC-TM-" brand of desktop personal computers. Initially, the Company outsourced
the assembly of these build-to-order products to third parties. Since November
1998, CompUSA PC products have been assembled by the Company in its assembly
facility in Fort Worth, Texas. These products are currently being produced by
CompUSA PC Inc. The Company introduced the CompUSA PC brand of notebook
computers and servers in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 1999,
respectively. Customers place orders through the Company's Computer Superstores,
by using the Company's toll-free telephone number, 1-800-COMPUSA, or through
CompUSA PC Inc.'s web site at www.compusapc.com, which can also be accessed
through the Company's portal page at www.compusa.com. Following assembly,
CompUSA PC products are shipped directly to customers. CompUSA PC Inc. also
ships pre-configured CompUSA PC desktop and notebook personal computers to the
Company's retail stores for sale in such retail stores.

COMPUSA NET.COM

    CompUSA Net.com is an Internet-only retailer of technology products that
targets the small office/ home office and home markets. Through its web site,
www.compusanet.com, CompUSA Net.com offers a comprehensive array of products
that includes computer hardware, software, and peripherals as well as certain
other consumer electronics and technology products.

                                       3
<PAGE>
    CompUSA Net.com and the Company have entered into various arms-length
agreements that provide, among other things, certain merchandising and marketing
relationships. Merchandising agreements between CompUSA Net.com and the Company
provide immediate access to, and availability of, new products, volume
discounts, and merchandising expertise. CompUSA Net.com plans to utilize its own
targeted marketing initiatives and advertising programs to reach a focused
audience and position itself as a service-oriented provider of technology
products via the Internet.

    CompUSA Net.com operates a call center in Marlborough, Massachusetts to
provide customers with assistance in placing orders through its web site and
other customer service and support functions. Most sales are fulfilled through
separate arrangements with various distributors, such as Ingram Micro, with many
products shipped directly to the customer. Orders for CompUSA PC products
purchased through CompUSA Net.com are fulfilled by CompUSA PC Inc. In other
cases, sales are fulfilled by CompUSA Net.com from its distribution facility,
which also houses its call center.

    CompUSA Net.com began operating on March 28, 1999, when CompUSA contributed
the net assets of its CompUSA Direct division to the subsidiary. Beginning in
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999, the mail order and other non-Internet sales
operations previously conducted by CompUSA Direct were phased out or transferred
to the Company.

SERVICES

    TRAINING--The Company offers training for customers in classroom facilities
located in all of the metropolitan areas served by its Computer Superstores.
Substantially all of the classroom facilities are located in the Company's
retail stores. Although the Company's training business utilizes a market-based
organizational structure, this approach is supported by a Dallas-based central
registration and telemarketing services center and other support functions.
Classes are offered for a variety of application and advanced technology
software. All of the over 550 classrooms operated by the Company are equipped
with a personal computer for each student. Most classrooms accommodate
approximately 12 students, and the equivalent of approximately four to five
full-day classes are offered in each classroom per week. The Company's
instructors receive periodic training from software vendors and the Company on
new technology as well as instructional skills development. In addition, the
Company provides training at customers' facilities or at other off-site
locations.

    The Company offers classroom training for most popular software
applications, including networking and the Internet. In addition, the Company
offers computer-based training and computerized skills assessment, as well as
training delivered via the Internet. The Company also offers project management
services to facilitate the registration of students and reporting of training
classes taken.

    TECHNICAL SERVICES--The Company, primarily through the technical service
departments in its Computer Superstores, provides numerous technical services,
including computer upgrades, custom configurations, diagnostic testing,
maintenance, repair, and delivery and installation. The Company also has
outbound technical support teams in 20 major markets. These teams are designed
to provide on-site services for corporate, government, and education customers.
Services include product consultation and evaluation, computer and server
configuration, installation, testing, upgrades, maintenance, and repairs. Other
support functions include on-site technicians and emergency response. Network
and system design services are outsourced to third-party providers. The Company
also performs repairs for third-party service centers and extended service plan
providers under national service agreements. The Company is a vendor-authorized
service provider for Apple, Compaq, CompUSA PC, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Microsoft,
Packard Bell/NEC, Toshiba, and other leading manufacturers.

    In July 1998, the Company opened a new 105,000 square foot, 1,000-plus seat
call center in Plano, Texas offering a wide range of inbound and outbound
services. The center is divided into a sales and customer service department and
a technical support department to offer high-volume call capacity and fully
customizable sales, technical support, and customer support services for
businesses of all sizes. The

                                       4
<PAGE>
call center's sales and customer service group offers custom-designed
inbound/outbound services for third-party, personal computer-related
manufacturers and software publishers. In addition, this group provides customer
service telephone support for CompUSA's retail and corporate, government, and
education customers. CompUSA's technical support group offers a full menu of
technical support outsourcing and help desk services for third parties, while
also functioning as the support center for CompUSA's "tech-service-by-phone"
offerings. In addition to custom-designed services, the Company offers a variety
of flexible tech-service-by-phone services on both a prepaid and
fee-for-services basis. The technical support group currently gives personal
computer users three flexible tech-service-by-phone options. The "Dial-A-Tech"
option is a technical service card that offers the customer unlimited technical
service calls within a specified time period (90, 180 or 365 days). Customers
that select CompUSA's "per incident" technical service option (1-888-NOW-TECH)
are charged a flat rate of $24.95 per call. Customers that prefer to be charged
by the minute can call 1-900-CALL-COMP for technical support at a rate of $2.49
per minute (the first minute is free). Each of these services is provided 24
hours a day, seven days a week. Hardware customers whose purchases are still
under manufacturers' warranties may call the Company for technical support at no
charge for the first 30 days after purchase.

PURCHASING, VENDOR SELECTION, AND PRODUCT OBSOLESCENCE

    The Company manages the purchase and replenishment of all store merchandise
centrally. The inventory management department makes all purchases and directs
merchandise transportation and transfers among the Company's facilities. The
Company purchases a majority of its merchandise inventory for resale in its
stores directly from manufacturers, supplemented with purchases from
distributors. Manufacturers and distributors ship merchandise directly to the
Company's stores and the six regional cross-dock facilities utilized by the
Company that consolidate vendor shipments and transfer merchandise to the
stores. Substantially all inventory is held at the Company's stores. In
addition, beginning in September 1999, most direct sales orders of the Company's
corporate, government, and education customers are fulfilled through Ingram
Micro, with products shipped directly from the appropriate Ingram Micro
distribution center to the customer.

    The Company considers numerous factors in vendor selection, including
customer demand, product availability, product performance, price, and vendor
credit terms. The Company believes that its significant purchase volumes
generally allow it to acquire products at or near the lowest prices available.
The Company has maintained long-term relationships with vendors but does not
have material long-term contracts or commitments with any of them. Brand names
and individual products are important to the Company's business. In fiscal 1999,
purchases of products from or manufactured by each of Compaq Computer
Corporation, Hewlett-Packard Company, and Ingram Micro constituted in excess of
10% of the Company's aggregate product purchases.

    Components used in CompUSA PC personal computers are purchased by CompUSA PC
Inc. from numerous vendors. Necessary inventories of components and spare parts
are maintained by CompUSA PC Inc. at its assembly facility. Inventories of
components and spare parts are kept at low levels and regularly replenished to
reduce the risk of inventory obsolescence and to allow CompUSA PC Inc. to
incorporate quickly new technologies or components into product offerings.
Because CompUSA PC personal computers are either built to customers'
specifications or pre-configured and shipped to the Company's stores, no
significant inventory of components, spare parts, or finished products is
maintained at the assembly facility. However, the Company's Computer Superstores
maintain inventories of pre-configured CompUSA PC personal computers and,
therefore, the Company has obsolescence risk with respect to such inventories.

    As a retailer of personal computer products, the Company's exposure to
product obsolescence and technological advances, other than with respect to
CompUSA PC products carried in store inventory, is less than that faced by
manufacturers of such products. Substantially all of the Company's major
vendors, either contractually or as a result of the vendor following industry
practices, have reduced the Company's

                                       5
<PAGE>
exposure to inventory obsolescence by providing favorable arrangements,
including price protection, stock balancing privileges, and other return
privileges, subject to restrictions and limitations in certain circumstances,
and promotional allowances for most products purchased. The Company has entered
into agreements with certain vendors that limit the Company's return privileges
in exchange for additional rebates. The Company believes that its relationship
with Ingram Micro will reduce the Company's exposure to product obsolescence.
The Company further reduces obsolescence risk through inventory management
policies designed to maximize rapid inventory turnover. In fiscal 1999, the
Company turned its inventory approximately 7.2 times. A reduction in, or the
discontinuation of, current vendor practices related to price protection, stock
balancing privileges, and other return privileges, or a significant decline in
the Company's inventory turnover rate, could expose the Company to product
obsolescence risks that would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
There can be no assurance that vendors will not change these arrangements and
privileges to the Company's detriment in the future.

CREDIT

    CompUSA extends credit to qualified corporate, government, and education
customers generally pursuant to 30-day payment terms. The Company makes
available revolving credit payment terms to corporations and individuals through
private label credit card programs, which are provided by independent financial
services companies. In addition, the Company accepts most major credit cards,
including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Diners Club, and Discover Card.

    Through its third-party leasing programs, the Company refers corporations
and individuals desiring lease financing to independent leasing companies that
purchase the specified equipment and lease it directly to these customers.

SEASONALITY

    Based upon its past operating history, the Company believes its business is
seasonal. Excluding the effects of new store openings, net sales and earnings
are generally lower during the first and fourth fiscal quarters than in the
second and third fiscal quarters. See Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.

PERSONNEL

    The Company considers its relationship with its employees to be excellent.
None of the Company's employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements.
At September 3, 1999, the Company employed approximately 13,900 full-time and
5,800 part-time employees.

INDUSTRY AND COMPETITION

    The Company believes that unit sales of personal computers and related
products and services have increased as a result of the following factors: (i)
growth of the service/information-based sector of the economy; (ii) improvements
in personal computer hardware performance and new software applications; (iii)
the emergence of industry standards and component compatibility; (iv) reductions
in prices of hardware and software; (v) increased user familiarity with personal
computers; (vi) the replacement of obsolete hardware, software and peripherals;
(vii) increased consumer awareness created, in part, by Internet capabilities;
(viii) office automation and the reengineering of the workplace; and (ix) the
integration of personal computers into the educational curricula for students at
all grade levels. The Company also believes that as higher performance personal
computers continue to become available at even more attractive prices, the
market for personal computers and related products and services should continue
to grow.

    The personal computer industry is undergoing significant change. Rapid
technological advances, in combination with an increasingly computer-literate
population, have increased the use and popularity of

                                       6
<PAGE>
personal computers, resulting in the emergence and growth of a variety of
distribution channels. The Company believes that individuals, businesses,
schools, and governments, having gained familiarity with personal computers,
require less assistance in making their purchasing decisions and have become
increasingly price sensitive. At the same time, intense competition for market
share has forced hardware and accessory manufacturers, along with software
vendors, to reduce prices and seek new channels through which to sell their
products. These factors have resulted in widespread and intense competition
among personal computer product retailers and resellers. The Company believes
that its business strategy, including the recently announced strategic
initiatives, positions it well to compete successfully in this industry.

    The Company competes with a large number and variety of resellers of
personal computers and related products and services in its businesses. As to
product sales, the Company primarily competes with large format consumer
electronics and office supply retailers, manufacturers and distributors that
sell directly to the public, other large format computer retailers,
Internet-based retailers, mail order houses, mass merchants, discounters,
specialty electronics retailers, software specialty retailers, other personal
computer retailers, outbound dealers, and value-added resellers. In the training
business, the Company primarily competes with various local, regional, and
national chains of training centers and other large format computer retailers.
In the technical services business, the Company primarily competes with
manufacturers, value-added resellers, system integration service providers,
other large format computer retailers, various other computer retailers,
specialty electronics retailers, and large format consumer electronics and
office supply retailers.

    The Company believes that the major competitive factors in its businesses
include customer service, breadth and depth of selection, price, technical
support, marketing and sales capabilities, and ease of delivery and return
capabilities. The Company's utilization of trained personnel and the ability to
use national and local advertising media, as well as its physical presence in
local markets, are important to the Company's ability to compete in its
businesses. The Company believes it is a strong competitor with respect to each
of the factors referenced above. Given the highly competitive nature of the
personal computer industry, no assurances can be given that the Company will
continue to compete successfully with respect to the factors referenced above.
Also, the Company would be adversely affected if its competitors were to offer
their products at significantly lower prices or if the Company were unable to
obtain products in a timely manner for an extended period of time. Some of the
Company's competitors are larger and/or have substantially greater resources
than the Company.

    All but four of the Company's stores are leased or subleased by the Company
with lease terms expiring between 1999 and 2019. In most instances, the Company
has renewal options at increased rents. Four stores are owned by the Company.
The Company's stores range in size from 11,300 to 58,800 square feet and average
approximately 26,000 square feet. The Company's headquarters, located in Dallas,
Texas, occupies approximately 197,000 square feet of leased space. The initial
lease term for the Company's headquarters has approximately four years remaining
and the Company has renewal options on the lease at increased rents. In
addition, the Company leases call center, distribution, warehouse, office, and
other space that aggregates approximately 1,017,000 square feet and is subject
to leases expiring at various dates through 2013. Such leased property includes
approximately 210,000 square feet of space that is currently subleased or
available for sublease by the Company to other parties. See Note 8 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    On April 23, 1998, a lawsuit, Hoeck v. CompUSA Inc. et al., was filed by a
stockholder of the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern
District of Texas against the Company and certain of its officers, seeking class
action status on behalf of the purchasers of the Company's Common Stock and
related publicly traded options during the class period. On June 24, 1998, a
second stockholder suit was filed against the Company making virtually the same
allegations. On August 24, 1998, a consolidated amended complaint was filed in
the Hoeck case, effectively consolidating the two cases. Among other things, the
plaintiffs allege that in order to halt a decline in the market price of the
Company's Common Stock and to artificially inflate the stock price, Company
insiders falsely reported to the market in early January 1998 that the Company
was achieving strong sales of certain types of products.

                                       8
<PAGE>
The plaintiffs also allege that misstatements and omissions by Company personnel
related to projected and historical operating results, sales, and other matters
involving corporate operations resulted in an inflation of the stock price. The
plaintiffs seek unspecified compensatory damages, recissory damages, interest,
and attorneys' fees and costs, as well as certain equitable relief. On September
25, 1998, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss together with a brief in support
of the motion. On August 30, 1999, the Court granted the Company's motion and
dismissed the complaint. The plaintiffs have until September 20, 1999, to file
an amended complaint. Based on currently available information, it is not
possible to give an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss that might be
incurred by the Company if the plaintiffs in these lawsuits were to file an
amended complaint and prevail in the litigation. The Company believes the
plaintiffs' claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against
such charges.

    On January 14, 1999, a nonclass lawsuit, Tom Johnson v. Circuit City Stores,
Inc., et al., was filed by plaintiff Tom Johnson on behalf of himself and the
California public against Circuit City Stores, Inc. and seven other computer
products retailers, including the Company. Without identifying any specific acts
by any specific retailers, Johnson's complaint alleges that such retailers have
(1) misrepresented the Year 2000 ("Y2K") compliance of products sold by them,
(2) sold unnecessary Y2K fixes, and/or (3) failed to disclose the need for Y2K
fixes or upgrades. Johnson's complaint requests (1) the freezing of the
retailers' assets, (2) the restitution of all funds acquired by the retailers
since January 15, 1995, by means of the alleged conduct, (3) an injunction
requiring the retailers to disclose the nature of the Y2K problem, a means to
determine Y2K compliance and what fixes are available to all of their customers
who have bought products since January 15, 1995, and (4) attorneys' fees.
Together with other defendants, the Company has filed a Motion to Dismiss the
complaint and such motion is currently pending. Based on currently available
information, it is not possible to give an estimate of the possible loss or
range of loss that might be incurred by the Company if the plaintiff in this
lawsuit were to prevail in the litigation. The Company believes the claims are
without merit and intends to vigorously defend against such charges.

    In addition to the matters described above, the Company is a defendant from
time to time in lawsuits incidental to its business. Based on currently
available information, the Company believes that resolution of all known
contingencies, including the matters described above, would not have a material
adverse impact on the Company's financial statements. However, there can be no
assurances that future costs would not be material to the results of operations
of the Company for a particular future period. In addition, the Company's
estimates of future costs are subject to change as circumstances change and
additional information becomes available during the course of litigation.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

    The Company did not submit any matter to a vote of security holders during
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999.

    At September 10, 1999 there were 1,893 holders of record of the Common
Stock.

DIVIDEND POLICY

    The Company has not paid and has no current plans to pay cash dividends on
the Common Stock. The Company currently intends to retain earnings for use in
the operation and expansion of its business and therefore does not anticipate
paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The terms of the Company's
revolving credit agreement prohibit the payment of cash dividends on the Common
Stock. See Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTES FROM PRECEDING PAGE.

(1) The Company's fiscal year is a 52/53 week year ending on the last Saturday
    of each June. The Company's fiscal years ended June 26, 1999, June 27, 1998,
    June 28, 1997, and June 24, 1995, each contained fifty-two weeks. The
    Company's fiscal year ended June 29, 1996 contained fifty-three weeks.

(2) On August 31, 1998, the Company acquired Computer City from Tandy. Following
    the acquisition, the Company operated 37 former Computer City stores as
    CompUSA Computer Superstores and two former Computer City "small market"
    stores in fiscal 1999. Of the 37 former Computer City stores operated as
    CompUSA Computer Superstores, the Company closed four of such stores in July
    1999. The acquisition of Computer City has been accounted for under the
    purchase accounting method. See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
    Statements.

(3) For a discussion of the Company's fiscal 1999 non-recurring and
    restructuring charges, see Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
    Statements.

(4) For a discussion of the Company's fiscal 1998 non-recurring amortization
    charge, see Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

(5) On May 30, 1996, the Company acquired PCs Compleat, Inc. ("PCs Compleat"),
    which became a wholly-owned subsidiary through which the Company conducted
    mail order, fulfillment, and retail Internet sales operations under the name
    CompUSA Direct subsequent to the acquisition. The acquisition was accounted
    for under the pooling of interests method of accounting. Accordingly, the
    Company has restated its consolidated financial statements for all periods
    prior to the acquisition to include the results of operations of PCs
    Compleat. In March 1999, the net assets of CompUSA Direct were contributed
    to CompUSA Net.com and PCs Compleat was merged into the Company.

(6) All references in this table to the number of shares, basic earnings (loss)
    per share, and diluted earnings (loss) per share prior to November 18, 1996
    have been adjusted on a retroactive basis to reflect the two-for-one stock
    splits declared by the Company's Board of Directors effective April 8, 1996
    and November 18, 1996, and the issuance of shares in connection with the
    Company's acquisition of PCs Compleat.

(7) Calculated using net sales divided by gross square footage of Computer
    Superstores open at the end of the period, weighted by the number of months
    open during the period. For purposes of calculating average net sales per
    gross square foot, net sales are comprised of net sales generated from the
    Company's Computer Superstores as well as the net sales of the Company's
    national accounts group to corporate, government, and education customers,
    but exclude sales of CompUSA Net.com.

(8) Comparable store sales are net sales for the Computer Superstores open the
    same months in both the indicated and previous periods, including stores
    that were relocated or expanded during either period. For purposes of
    calculating the change in comparable store sales, net sales are comprised of
    net sales generated from the Company's Computer Superstores as well as the
    net sales of the Company's national accounts group to corporate, government,
    and education customers, but exclude sales of CompUSA Net.com. The sales of
    the 37 former Computer City stores are not included in the calculation of
    the change in comparable store sales for fiscal 1999. The comparable store
    sales increase for fiscal 1997 was calculated by comparing net sales for the
    fifty-two weeks ended June 28, 1997 with net sales for the fifty-two weeks
    ended June 29, 1996. The comparable store sales increase for fiscal 1996 was
    calculated by comparing net sales for the fifty-three weeks ended June 29,
    1996, with net sales for the fifty-three weeks ended July 1, 1995.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
  OF OPERATIONS

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE
  RESULTS

    This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements about
the business, financial condition and prospects of the Company, and Year 2000
issues. The actual results of the Company could differ materially from those
indicated by the forward-looking statements because of various risks and
uncertainties, including without limitation changes in product demand, the
availability of products, changes in competition, the ability of the Company to
open new stores in accordance with its plans, economic conditions, real estate
market fluctuations, interest rate fluctuations, dependence on manufacturers'
product development, various inventory risks due to changes in market
conditions, changes in tax and other governmental rules and regulations
applicable to the Company, and other risks indicated in the Company's other
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company's entry into
the build-to-order market with its CompUSA PC brand personal computers in the
first quarter of fiscal 1998, the opening of its own build-to-order assembly
facility in the second quarter of fiscal 1999, and the addition of notebook
computers and servers to the build-to-order product line in the third and fourth
quarters of fiscal 1999, respectively, involve significant additional risks,
including without limitation failure to achieve customer acceptance of the new
products, substantial dependence on third parties for the quality and
reliability of component parts, and the Company's ability to fulfill customer
orders timely. Additionally, the Company's acquisition of Computer City in the
first quarter of fiscal 1999 involves certain risks and uncertainties, including
without limitation the ability of the Company to operate the acquired stores
profitably, to mitigate the financial impact of future lease commitments related
to Computer City stores closed, and to retain Computer City's retail and
corporate customers. The Company's focus on its retail Internet business through
CompUSA Net.com involves significant additional risks, including without
limitation failure to achieve customer acceptance and potential significant
operating and/or capital investments that may be required to be made by the
Company. The Fiscal 1999 Initiatives, as defined and discussed under "--Results
of Operations--Fiscal 1999 compared with Fiscal 1998," involve certain risks and
uncertainties, including without limitation failure to achieve customer
acceptance, substantial dependence on a third party for timely fulfillment of
orders received from the Company's direct sales customers, failure to retain
established direct sales customers, as well as costs to be incurred in
connection with the store closures and the exiting of direct sales, fulfillment,
and configuration activities. The Company's information technology initiatives
involve additional risks, including deviations in scheduled installation dates,
implementation costs, projected savings, and functionality.

    All of the foregoing risks and uncertainties are beyond the ability of the
Company to control, and in many cases, the Company cannot predict the risks and
uncertainties that could cause its actual results to differ materially from
those indicated by the forward-looking statements. When used in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K, the words "believes," "estimates," "plans," "expects,"
"intends," "anticipates" and similar expressions as they relate to the Company
or its management are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

ACQUISITION OF COMPUTER CITY

    On August 31, 1998, the Company completed its acquisition of Computer City
from Tandy for an aggregate price of approximately $175 million. The purchase
price is subject to post-closing adjustments that the Company anticipates
finalizing with Tandy in the second quarter of fiscal 2000. See "--Liquidity and
Capital Resources." The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase
accounting method.

    As of June 26, 1999, the Company operated 37 former Computer City stores in
the United States as CompUSA Computer Superstores and two Computer City "small
market" stores. Such stores were converted to the CompUSA information systems,
format, and merchandise mix in fiscal 1999. The Company closed 55 acquired
Computer City stores in the United States in fiscal 1999. Inventory liquidation
sales were conducted at the majority of such stores through mid-October, at
which time the

                                       13
<PAGE>
stores were closed and the remaining merchandise inventories were transferred to
CompUSA Computer Superstores, including former Computer City stores, for final
liquidation. Effective November 1, 1998, the Company sold the seven Canadian
Computer City supercenters acquired by the Company to Future Shop Ltd. for
approximately $7.0 million in cash and the assumption of certain liabilities.
The Company closed four additional former Computer City stores in July 1999 in
connection with its Fourth Quarter Initiatives (as described below).

    The 55 Computer City stores the Company closed in fiscal 1999 were generally
in closer proximity to, and therefore the Company believes would have been more
directly competitive with, existing CompUSA Computer Superstores than the 37
former Computer City stores in the United States that remained open as CompUSA
Computer Superstores as of June 26, 1999. Of the four additional former Computer
City stores closed in July 1999, one was located in a market with an existing
CompUSA Computer Superstore. Of the 33 stores acquired from Computer City that
remain open as CompUSA Computer Superstores, 28 are located in markets in which
there are existing CompUSA Computer Superstores. The Company believes its
decision to continue to operate these 28 stores is consistent with its strategy
of opening additional Computer Superstores in existing markets to increase
market penetration and to provide customers with more convenience and better
service. However, the continued operation of these 28 stores may cause the rate
of comparable store sales growth for the CompUSA Computer Superstores already in
operation in such markets to be lower than it would have been if these 28 former
Computer City stores had been closed and the sales from these 28 stores had been
transferred to the existing CompUSA Computer Superstores.

COMPUSA NET.COM

    In March 1999, the Company completed the formation of CompUSA Net.com by
contributing to it the net assets of CompUSA Direct, the Company's former mail
order, fulfillment, and retail Internet sales division. CompUSA Net.com offers
desktop and notebook computers, software, printers, scanners, accessories, and
other electronic and digital products via the Internet. In the fourth quarter of
fiscal 1999, CompUSA Net.com began phasing out or transferring to the Company
its previous mail order, fulfillment, and other non-Internet operations.

(1) On August 31, 1998, the Company acquired 37 Computer City stores that the

(2) Two CompUSA Computer Superstores were closed in the third quarter of fiscal
    1999 in markets where a former Computer City store remained open in close
    proximity to the closed CompUSA Computer Superstore.

(3) Calculated using net sales divided by gross square footage of the Company's
    Computer Superstores open at the end of the period, weighted by the number
    of months open during the period. For purposes of calculating average net
    sales per gross square foot, net sales are comprised of net sales generated
    from the Company's Computer Superstores as well as net sales of the
    Company's national accounts group to corporate, government, and education
    customers, but exclude sales of CompUSA Net.com.

(4) Average net sales per gross square foot and average net sales per store for
    the former Computer City stores have been calculated for the period from the
    acquisition date of August 31, 1998 through June 26, 1999.

(5) Comparable store sales are net sales for Computer Superstores open the same
    number of months in both the indicated and previous periods, including
    stores that were relocated or expanded during either period. For purposes of
    calculating the change in comparable store sales, net sales are comprised of
    net sales generated from the Company's Computer Superstores as well as net
    sales of the Company's national accounts group to corporate, government, and
    education customers, but exclude sales of CompUSA Net.com. The sales of the
    37 former Computer City stores are not included in the calculation of the
    change in comparable store sales for fiscal 1999. The comparable store sales
    increase for fiscal 1997 has been calculated by comparing net sales for the
    fifty-two weeks ended June 28, 1997 with net sales for the fifty-two weeks
    ended June 29, 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    As a result of the expansion of the Company's store base, period-to-period
comparisons of financial results may not be meaningful and the results of
operations for historical periods may not be indicative of the results to be
expected in future periods. In addition, the Company expects that its quarterly
results of operations will fluctuate depending on the timing of the opening of,
and the amount of net sales contributed by, new stores and the timing of costs
associated with the selection, leasing, construction, and opening of new stores,
as well as seasonal factors, product introductions, store closings, and changes
in product mix. See "--Quarterly Data and Seasonality."

    The results of operations of the Company for fiscal 1999 include the results
of operations of the 37 former Computer City stores that the Company operated as
CompUSA Computer Superstores and two former Computer City "small market" stores
from the acquisition date of August 31, 1998 through June 26, 1999. The results
of operations for fiscal 1999 exclude the operating results of the 55 Computer
City stores in the United States closed by the Company and the seven Canadian
Computer City supercenters sold by the Company in fiscal 1999.

FISCAL 1999 COMPARED WITH FISCAL 1998

    In fiscal 1999, the Company incurred non-recurring and restructuring charges
aggregating approximately $93.8 million related to various programs and
initiatives undertaken by the Company ("Fiscal 1999 Initiatives"). The Fiscal
1999 Initiatives included (1) initiatives announced in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 1999 as a result of the Company's extensive evaluation of its core
businesses (the "Fourth Quarter Initiatives"), (2) the transition of the former
Computer City stores to the CompUSA Computer Superstore format (the "Computer
City Transition"), (3) the formation of CompUSA Net.com and its transition to an
Internet-only business (the "CompUSA Net.com Realignment"), and (4) information
technology initiatives (the "IT Initiatives").

</TABLE>

    Cash requirements related to the Fiscal 1999 Initiatives aggregated
approximately $30.3 million, a substantial portion of which were paid prior to
June 26, 1999 from cash generated from operations.

    FOURTH QUARTER INITIATIVES--The Fourth Quarter Initiatives were announced by
the Company on June 24, 1999 as a result of the Company's extensive evaluation
of its core businesses. The Fourth Quarter Initiatives are designed to increase
gross margins, reduce operating costs, improve customer service, and position
the Company to take advantage of additional strategic opportunities. Costs of
approximately $67.5 million were recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999
in connection with the Fourth Quarter Initiatives. The Company anticipates
incurring additional non-recurring charges related to the Fourth Quarter
Initiatives in fiscal 2000 of approximately $10 to $15 million, including, among
other things, severance actions taken by the Company in the first quarter of
fiscal 2000. In addition, the Company anticipates incurring approximately $8 to
$10 million of transition costs in fiscal 2000 related to the

                                       17
<PAGE>
implementation of the Fourth Quarter Initiatives, primarily related to the
hiring and training of personnel. The Company anticipates that the majority of
the transition expenses will be incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2000.
When fully implemented, the Company believes the Fourth Quarter Initiatives will
result in increased productivity and operating efficiencies that should result
in annualized cost savings of up to $100 million.

    Charges recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 in connection with the
Fourth Quarter Initiatives related to (1) the streamlining of the Company's
training business, (2) the reorganization of the Company's technical services
business, (3) the redesign of the Company's sales and fulfillment activities for
corporate, government, and education customers, (4) the evaluation of the
profitability of the Company's stores, and (5) the change in the third-party
provider of the extended service plans sold by the Company after June 1999.

    STREAMLINING OF TRAINING BUSINESS--In connection with the redesign of the
Company's training services business, the Company implemented a vertical,
market-based organizational structure. Previously, each store operated as an
independent training organization with a local focus. Costs of approximately
$600,000, primarily related to the severance of approximately 125 employees and
other personnel costs, were incurred as a result of the training initiative in
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999. The training initiative was substantially
completed in July 1999.

    REORGANIZATION OF TECHNICAL SERVICES BUSINESS--As a result of the evaluation
of its technical services business, the Company implemented a strategy to focus
on high-volume technical service opportunities, including "break-fix" and
on-site warranty and technical services. In addition, the Company outsourced
networking and systems configuration services to third-party providers. Costs of
approximately $600,000, primarily related to the severance of approximately 150
employees and other personnel costs, were incurred as a result of the technical
services initiative in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999. The technical services
initiative was also substantially completed in July 1999.

    REDESIGN OF DIRECT SALES, FULFILLMENT, AND CONFIGURATION ACTIVITIES--As part
of the Fourth Quarter Initiatives, the Company also committed to a plan to
redesign its sales, fulfillment, and configuration activities to corporate,
government, and education customers by (1) outsourcing the product sales,
fulfillment, and configuration operations and (2) consolidating the Company's
direct sales force.

    In connection with the outsourcing of the fulfillment of its sales orders
from corporate, government, and education customers, the Company has implemented
a plan to liquidate the related inventories in its fulfillment and configuration
facility and its retail stores. As a result, the Company recorded a charge of
approximately $37.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 to write down
the carrying values of such inventories to management's estimates of the net
realizable value of such inventories to be realized through vendor returns,
liquidation through third parties, and promotional activities in the Company's
stores. Such liquidation efforts are expected to be substantially completed by
the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2000.

    Costs incurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 in connection with the
expected abandonment of the Company's fulfillment and configuration facility
activities consisted primarily of a $13.2 million write-down of the fixed assets
having no future utility to the Company and a $2.2 million charge for the
estimated remaining lease rentals and other carrying costs, net of estimated
subrental income, associated with that facility prior to the expiration of the
lease term in 2008. In August 1999, the Company discontinued the fulfillment and
configuration activities previously conducted in its Dallas/Fort Worth-area
fulfillment and configuration facility. At that time, sales orders for
corporate, government, and education customers began to be fulfilled by Ingram
Micro.

    In August 1999, the Company organized a centralized direct sales and support
function and opened a new 80,000 square foot call center in Dallas to
accommodate these functions. Previously, each store maintained a separate direct
sales force. As a result of the centralization of the direct sales force, the
Company severed approximately 2,200 employees in August 1999 previously
responsible for the direct sales

                                       18
<PAGE>
activities conducted through the Company's stores. In connection with these
severance actions and other activities related to the redesign of the Company's
sales, fulfillment, and configuration activities to its corporate, government,
and education customers, the Company anticipates incurring approximately $10 to
$15 million of costs in fiscal 2000.

    EVALUATION OF COMPANY'S STORES--In connection with the Fourth Quarter
Initiatives, the Company analyzed each of its retail stores in terms of
profitability and growth potential and closed four stores in July 1999. In
connection with the closing of these four stores, the Company incurred costs of
approximately $2.6 million, primarily related to the write-down of fixed assets
having no future utility to the Company and the liquidation of inventories. In
addition, the Company determined that the carrying values of the long-lived
assets at 15 of the Company's stores exceeded the estimated undiscounted future
cash flows to be generated by those stores. Accordingly, the Company wrote down
the carrying values of the long-lived assets at those stores, primarily store
fixtures and leasehold improvements, by approximately $6.5 million. After the
write-down, the carrying values of such assets equal their estimated fair values
based on the net present value of the stores' estimated future cash flows.

    CHANGE IN EXTENDED SERVICE PLAN PROGRAM--In June 1999, in response to a
proposed premium rate increase related to the then current extended service plan
program (the "Prior ESP Program"), the Company terminated the Prior ESP Program.
In July 1999, the Company implemented a new extended service plan program
utilizing new administration and insurance companies. As a result of the
foregoing, the Company provided for estimated losses of approximately $2.0
million associated with certain unresolved issues with the administrator of the
Prior ESP Program.

    The administration of the extended service plans sold pursuant to the Prior
ESP Program is the responsibility of the administrator under the Prior ESP
Program and/or the insurance companies that insured the administration
obligations of the Prior ESP Program. In July 1999, the Company elected, for
business and customer relations reasons, to provide supplemental administrative
services to purchasers of extended service plans sold pursuant to the Prior ESP
Program who experience difficulty in obtaining services from the administrator
of the Prior ESP Program. The Company is currently seeking reimbursement from
the insurance companies of the costs incurred by the Company in fiscal 2000 in
providing these supplemental services. The Company believes it is entitled to
full reimbursement of such costs and, during the first half of fiscal 2000, the
Company expects to consummate an arrangement with the insurance companies for
the reimbursement of such costs. In addition, the Company expects, during the
first half of fiscal 2000, to reach an agreement with the insurance companies
regarding the future administration of the Prior ESP Program. Depending upon the
outcome of these negotiations, the Company may record a charge for the estimated
costs related to the supplemental and future administration of the Prior ESP
Program, to the extent such costs are not reimbursed by the insurance companies.

    COMPUTER CITY TRANSITION--The Company incurred costs of approximately $9.9
million in fiscal 1999 related to the training of personnel at the former
Computer City stores and other costs necessary to convert the former Computer
City stores to CompUSA Computer Superstores. These costs included a $2.4 million
charge taken in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 for the closure of CompUSA
Computer Superstores in markets where a former Computer City store remained open
in close proximity to the closed CompUSA Computer Superstore.

    COMPUSA NET.COM REALIGNMENT--In March 1999, the Company completed the
formation of CompUSA Net.com by contributing to it the net assets of the
Company's CompUSA Direct division. Prior to the formation of CompUSA Net.com,
the Company conducted its mail order, fulfillment, and retail Internet sales
operations through CompUSA Direct. Concurrent with the formation of CompUSA
Net.com, the Company announced plans to change the operations of CompUSA Net.com
to an Internet-only business. Beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999,
the mail order and other non-Internet sales operations previously conducted by
CompUSA Direct were phased out or transferred to the Company. In connection with
the CompUSA Net.com Realignment, the Company incurred costs of

                                       19
<PAGE>
approximately $6.6 million. The primary components of such costs were (1) costs
aggregating approximately $3.3 million associated with the phaseout of the
previous mail order and other non-Internet sales operations of CompUSA Direct,
primarily costs related to the severance of approximately 200 employees and the
write-down of inventories not consistent with the Internet-only operations to be
conducted by CompUSA Net.com, and (2) costs of approximately $2.8 million
associated with the development and implementation of the Internet-only
strategy, primarily consulting and professional fees.

    The Company anticipates additional costs will be incurred in fiscal 2000
related to the implementation of its Internet-only strategy for CompUSA Net.com.
The Company anticipates pre-tax operating losses at CompUSA Net.com in the first
quarter of fiscal 2000 of approximately $10 to $15 million. The Company plans to
explore strategic partnerships and/or to access the capital markets over the
next three to six months to fund the growth of CompUSA Net.com.

    IT INITIATIVES--In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company committed
to a new IT strategy. Pursuant to this strategy, the Company outsourced
substantially all of its IT processes to a third-party service provider. In
addition, the Company selected an Enterprise Resource Management ("ERM") system
in fiscal 1999 to replace a substantial portion of the Company's existing IT
systems. The Company implemented the first phases of the ERM system in July and
August 1999 and expects to complete the final implementation of the ERM system
in fiscal 2000. In fiscal 1999, the Company incurred non-recurring expenses of
approximately $9.9 million related to the outsourcing of its IT operations and
training and other non-capitalizable costs incurred in connection with the
implementation of the ERM system.

    In connection with the IT Initiatives, the Company expects to incur
additional costs of approximately $5 to $7 million in each fiscal quarter of
fiscal 2000. The Company anticipates the completion of the IT Initiatives in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2000.

    NET SALES--Net sales for fiscal 1999 increased 19.6% to $6.32 billion from
$5.29 billion for fiscal 1998. The increase in net sales was due to sales of
approximately $630.4 million attributable to the new stores opened subsequent to
fiscal 1998 and sales of approximately $559.2 million generated by the former
Computer City stores, partially offset by a decline in comparable store sales.
In addition, sales at CompUSA Net.com increased approximately 22.3% to $252.8
million in fiscal 1999 from $206.8 million in fiscal 1998.

    Despite an increase in overall sales and the number of personal computer
systems sold in fiscal 1999, average net sales per store for fiscal 1999
decreased approximately 15% from fiscal 1998. The Company believes average net
sales per store were negatively impacted by, among other things, declines in
average selling prices for certain of the Company's products, including desktop
and notebook computers and monitors, an increase in sales of lower-end computer
systems as a percentage of total computer systems sold, and lower sales per
store at the 37 former Computer City stores compared with other CompUSA Computer
Superstores.

    Comparable store sales by the CompUSA Computer Superstores decreased 3.4%
from fiscal 1998. The sales of the 37 former Computer City stores are not
included in the calculation of the change in comparable store sales for fiscal
1999. The Company believes comparable store sales were negatively impacted by,
among other things, declines in average selling prices for certain of the
Company's products, including desktop and notebook computers and monitors, and
increased sales of lower-end computer systems as a percentage of total computer
systems sold. The Company also believes the change in comparable store sales was
negatively impacted by a decline in sales of the CompUSA Computer Superstores
during fiscal 1999 as a result of (1) the transfer of sales from existing
CompUSA Computer Superstores to the former Computer City stores located in
markets in which there are existing CompUSA Computer Superstores, (2) inventory
liquidation sales conducted at the Computer City stores closed by the Company in
September and October 1998, and (3) promotional sales activities conducted in
the former Computer City stores in the second quarter of fiscal 1999.

                                       20
<PAGE>
    While the Company believes the opening of additional Computer Superstores in
existing markets, as well as the acquisition of Computer City stores in existing
markets, has resulted in some reductions in the rate of comparable store sales
growth, CompUSA has historically opened additional stores in existing markets
largely to increase market penetration and to provide customers with more
convenience and better service, to increase its awareness with local consumers,
to enhance its competitive position in such markets, and to create efficiencies
in advertising and management. Management plans to continue its strategy of
opening additional Computer Superstores in existing markets because it believes
such strategy is in the Company's long-term best interest.

    GROSS PROFIT--Gross profit was $803.1 million, or 12.7% of net sales, in
fiscal 1999, compared with $745.3 million, or 14.1% of net sales, in fiscal
1998. Excluding costs associated with the Fiscal 1999 Initiatives aggregating
approximately $39.7 million, gross profit was $842.8 million, or 13.3% of net
sales. The decline in gross profit as a percentage of net sales to 13.3% in
fiscal 1999 from 14.1% in fiscal 1998 was primarily due to the following: (1) an
increase in product costs as a percentage of net sales, (2) an increase in
controllable costs, such as freight and inventory shrinkage, as a percentage of
net sales, and (3) an increase in occupancy costs as a percentage of net sales.

    In fiscal 1999, product costs increased as a percentage of net sales by
approximately 0.13% compared with fiscal 1998. The increase in product costs as
a percentage of net sales was due to lower average selling prices in general as
well as promotional sales activities. The Company conducted promotional sales
activities in the former Computer City stores as well as seasonal promotions in
the second quarter of fiscal 1999. In addition, the Company took aggressive
pricing actions in the third quarter of fiscal 1999 in reaction to lower than
anticipated demand.

    Gross profit also decreased in fiscal 1999 due to an increase in freight and
inventory shrinkage expenses by approximately 0.17% as a percentage of net sales
compared with fiscal 1998. Freight expense, which is generally a fixed cost
based on the number of units sold, increased as a percentage of net sales due to
the decline in average selling prices. In addition, freight expense increased as
a percentage of net sales due to the increased use of expedited freight in the
second quarter of fiscal 1999 in order to ensure the timely receipt of
merchandise inventories in the Company's Computer Superstores. The increase in
inventory shrinkage expense was primarily attributable to higher expenses as a
percentage of net sales incurred in the operation of the former Computer City
stores.

    Occupancy costs increased by approximately 0.40% as a percentage of net
sales in fiscal 1999 compared with fiscal 1998. Occupancy costs, which are
generally fixed in nature, increased as a percentage of net sales in fiscal
1999, primarily as a result of lower average net sales per store compared with
fiscal 1998, particularly at the former Computer City stores.

    In connection with the Fourth Quarter Initiatives, the Company incurred a
charge of approximately $37.6 million, or 0.59% of net sales, in fiscal 1999
related to the estimated costs of liquidation of commercial products held in
both the Company's centralized distribution and configuration facility located
in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and the Company's retail stores as well as the
liquidation of inventories held by the four stores closed in July 1999.

    In addition, the Company incurred costs of approximately $2.2 million, or
0.03% of net sales, in connection with the CompUSA Net.com Realignment related
primarily to the estimated costs of liquidation of inventories not consistent
with the Internet-only operations to be conducted by CompUSA Net.com in the
future.

    OPERATING EXPENSES--Operating expenses were $661.8 million, or 10.5% of net
sales, in fiscal 1999, compared with $507.2 million, or 9.6% of net sales, in
fiscal 1998. Excluding costs associated with the Fiscal 1999 Initiatives
aggregating approximately $15.7 million, operating expenses were $646.1 million
in fiscal 1999, or 10.2% of net sales. The increase in operating expenses as a
percentage of net sales to 10.2% in fiscal 1999 from 9.6% in fiscal 1998 was due
to increases in personnel, facility, and certain selling

                                       21
<PAGE>
expenses as percentages of net sales, partially offset by a decrease in
advertising expense as a percentage of net sales.

    Excluding personnel costs of approximately $2.3 million incurred in
connection with the Fiscal 1999 Initiatives, personnel expenses in fiscal 1999
increased 0.55% as a percentage of net sales. Personnel costs increased as a
percentage of net sales primarily as a result of lower average net sales per
store, particularly at the 37 former Computer City stores.

    Facility expenses, excluding costs of approximately $600,000 related to the
Fiscal 1999 Initiatives, increased by approximately 0.15% as a percentage of net
sales in fiscal 1999 compared with fiscal 1998. Facility expenses, which are
generally fixed in nature, increased as a percentage of net sales in fiscal
1999, primarily as a result of lower average net sales per store, particularly
at the 37 former Computer City stores.

    The increase in operating expenses for fiscal 1999 compared with fiscal 1998
was also due to an increase in credit card discount fees charged by third
parties and bad debt expenses as percentages of net sales. Such costs increased
by approximately 0.16% as a percentage of net sales for fiscal 1999 compared
with fiscal 1998.

    The above increases were partially offset by lower advertising expense as a
percentage of net sales. Net advertising expense decreased by approximately
0.29% as a percentage of net sales in fiscal 1999 due to increased vendor
participation and advertising economies-of-scale related to the addition of
stores in multi-store markets, primarily as a result of the acquisition of the
Computer City stores. This decrease in net advertising expense was partially
offset by advertising expenses related to the promotional sales activities
conducted in the former Computer City stores in the second quarter of fiscal
1999.

    In connection with the Fourth Quarter Initiatives, the Company recorded a
charge of approximately $2.0 million, or 0.03% of net sales, for estimated
losses associated with the resolution of certain issues with the administrator
of the Prior ESP Program. In addition, the Company determined that the carrying
values of the long-lived assets at 15 of the Company's stores exceeded the
undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by those assets. As a result,
the Company recorded a $6.5 million charge, or 0.10% of net sales, to write down
the assets to estimated fair value.

    The Company incurred costs of approximately $3.3 million, or 0.05% of net
sales, in fiscal 1999 related to the Computer City Transition, which includes
costs of training of personnel at the former Computer City stores and other
costs necessary to convert the former Computer City stores to CompUSA Computer
Superstores. Additionally, in the first quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company
recorded a charge of $2.4 million, or 0.04% of net sales, for the closure of
certain CompUSA Computer Superstores in markets where a former Computer City
store remained open in close proximity to a CompUSA Computer Superstore.

    In addition, the Company incurred costs of approximately $1.4 million, or
0.02% of net sales, in connection with the CompUSA Net.com Realignment,
consisting primarily of employee severance payments and legal and consulting
fees.

    PRE-OPENING EXPENSES--Pre-opening expenses consist primarily of personnel
expenses incurred prior to a store's opening and promotional costs associated
with the opening. In fiscal 1999, the Company incurred $4.5 million in
pre-opening expenses in connection with the opening of 14 Computer Superstores
and the relocation of four Computer Superstores, compared with $8.7 million in
pre-opening expenses in fiscal 1998 incurred in connection with the opening of
33 Computer Superstores and the relocation of two Computer Superstores.

                                       22
<PAGE>
    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES--General and administrative expenses
were $170.0 million, or 2.7% of net sales, in fiscal 1999, compared with $116.4
million, or 2.2% of net sales, in fiscal 1998. Excluding costs associated with
the Fiscal 1999 Initiatives aggregating approximately $16.2 million, general and
administrative expenses were $153.8 million in fiscal 1999, or 2.4% of net
sales. The increase in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
net sales to 2.4% in fiscal 1999 from 2.2% in fiscal 1998 was primarily due to
the following: (1) increased personnel and facility expenses as percentages of
net sales and (2) other costs related to the acquisition of Computer City.

    Excluding personnel costs of approximately $10.2 million incurred in
connection with the Fiscal 1999 Initiatives, personnel expenses in fiscal 1999
increased as a percentage of net sales by approximately 0.09%. This increase in
personnel expenses as a percentage of net sales is primarily attributable to
lower average net sales per store in fiscal 1999 compared with fiscal 1998,
particularly at the 37 former Computer City stores.

    Facility expenses, excluding costs of approximately $400,000 related to the
Fiscal 1999 Initiatives, increased by approximately 0.05% as a percentage of net
sales in fiscal 1999 compared with fiscal 1998. Facility expenses, which are
generally fixed in nature, increased as a percentage of net sales in fiscal 1999
primarily as a result of lower average net sales per store. In addition,
facility expenses increased in fiscal 1999 as a result of the expansion of the
Company's corporate facilities.

    The Company recorded approximately $4.4 million, or 0.07% of net sales, of
amortization expense in fiscal 1999 related to the goodwill associated with the
acquisition of Computer City.

    In connection with the Computer City Transition, the Company incurred costs
of approximately $4.1 million, or 0.07% of net sales, in fiscal 1999 for the
training of personnel at the former Computer City stores and other costs
necessary to convert the former Computer City stores to CompUSA Computer
Superstores.

    The Company incurred fiscal 1999 expenses of approximately $2.2 million, or
0.03% of net sales, related to the CompUSA Net.com Realignment, consisting
primarily of employee severance payments and consulting and legal fees.

    In fiscal 1999, the Company incurred expenses of approximately $9.9 million,
or 0.16% of net sales, related to the IT Initiatives. Such costs were primarily
due to the outsourcing of the Company's IT development and training and other
non-capitalizable costs incurred in connection with the implementation of its
ERM System.

    INTEREST EXPENSE AND OTHER INCOME, NET--Interest expense and other income,
net, was $19.0 million, or 0.3% of net sales, in fiscal 1999, compared with $5.9
million, or 0.1% of net sales, in fiscal 1998. The increase in interest expense
and other income, net, was primarily due to interest expense of approximately
$10.7 million, or 0.17% of net sales, recorded on the $136 million note payable
to Tandy related to the acquisition of Computer City. See "--Liquidity and
Capital Resources."

    INCOME TAXES--The Company's effective tax rate was 37.5% in fiscal 1999 and
38.5% in fiscal 1998. The effective tax rate for fiscal 1999 and fiscal 1998
differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes and
the benefits of tax-exempt interest earned by the Company.

    At June 26, 1999, the Company had net deferred tax assets aggregating $53.8
million. Based on its tax planning strategies and current projections of future
taxable income, the Company believes it is more likely than not that the Company
will realize the recorded deferred tax assets. Accordingly, no valuation
allowance was established at June 26, 1999.

    NET LOSS--As a result of the above, the net loss for fiscal 1999 was $45.7
million, or $.50 per diluted share, compared with net income of $31.5 million,
or $.33 per diluted share, for fiscal 1998.

FISCAL 1998 COMPARED WITH FISCAL 1997

    NET SALES--Net sales for fiscal 1998 increased 14.7% to $5.29 billion from
$4.61 billion for fiscal 1997. The increase in net sales was primarily due to
the additional sales volume attributable to the new stores opened subsequent to
fiscal 1997 and an increase in comparable store sales of 1.7%. Despite an
increase in overall sales and the number of personal computer systems sold in
fiscal 1998, sales were negatively impacted by, among other things, declines in
average selling prices for certain of the Company's products, including desktop
and notebook computers and monitors, as well as increased sales of lower-end
computer systems. Additionally, in fiscal 1998, average net sales per Computer
Superstore decreased approximately 6% from fiscal 1997. The Company believes
average net sales per Computer Superstore were negatively impacted by decreases
in average selling prices, an increase in sales of lower-end computer systems,
and an increase in the number of the Company's stores open less than two years.
In general, less mature stores generate lower sales than more mature stores.

    GROSS PROFIT--Gross profit was $745 million, or 14.1% of net sales, in
fiscal 1998, compared with $657 million, or 14.3% of net sales, in fiscal 1997.
The decline in gross profit as a percentage of net sales in fiscal 1998 compared
with fiscal 1997 was due, in part, to costs associated with the CompUSA PC line
of build-to-order personal computers, increases in inventory shrinkage and
freight expense, and the deleveraging of occupancy costs, which are generally
fixed in nature. These declines were partially offset by an increase in the
ratio of service revenues to total revenues. Service revenues typically have
higher gross margins than merchandise sales.

    OPERATING EXPENSES--Operating expenses were $507 million, or 9.6% of net
sales, in fiscal 1998, compared with $402 million, or 8.7% of net sales, in
fiscal 1997. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of net sales was
due primarily to the deleveraging of facilities expenses, an increase in the
ratio of service revenues to total revenues, and the Company's efforts to expand
certain of its businesses, offset by lower incentive compensation. Facilities
expenses are generally fixed in nature and deleveraged in fiscal 1998 as a
result of lower average net sales per store. The increase in the ratio of
service revenues to total revenues had the effect of increasing operating
expenses as a percentage of net sales because operating expenses are generally
higher for service revenues than for merchandise sales.

    PRE-OPENING EXPENSES--Pre-opening expenses consist primarily of personnel
expenses incurred prior to a store's opening and promotional costs associated
with the opening. Through fiscal 1998, the Company's policy was to expense all
pre-opening expenses in the month of the store's grand opening. See Note 1 of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In fiscal 1998, the Company incurred
$8.7 million in pre-opening expenses in connection with the opening of 33
Computer Superstores and the relocation of two Computer Superstores, compared
with $6.2 million in pre-opening expenses incurred in fiscal 1997 in connection
with the opening of 24 Computer Superstores.

    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES--General and administrative expenses
were $116 million, or 2.2% of net sales, in fiscal 1998, compared with $92.2
million, or 2.0% of net sales, in fiscal 1997. The increase in general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to costs
related to the expansion of the Company's corporate facilities to support the
Company's growth as well as the deleveraging of corporate facilities expenses,
which are generally fixed in nature. In addition, general and administrative
expenses increased as a result of costs associated with the Company's efforts to
expand certain of its businesses as well as to develop new business
opportunities. These increases were partially offset by lower incentive
compensation. General and administrative expenses per store were approximately
$812,000 in fiscal 1998, compared with $785,000 in fiscal 1997.

    NON-RECURRING AMORTIZATION CHARGE--During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998,
the Company committed to a plan to implement a new IT strategy. In fiscal 1999,
pursuant to the strategy, the Company signed an agreement to outsource
substantially all of its IT processes and began the implementation of an ERM
system. In February 1999, the Company completed an agreement for the outsourcing
of substantially all of

                                       24
<PAGE>
its IT development and support for the Company's Computer Superstores and
related businesses, such as technical services, training, build-to-order, call
center operations, and support for the Company's implementation of a new ERM
system. Implementation of the ERM system will result in the replacement of a
substantial portion of the Company's existing IT systems, as well as certain
systems previously under development. As a result of the adoption of this new
strategy, the Company incurred a non-recurring, pre-tax amortization charge in
fiscal 1998 of $55.9 million (approximately $34.4 million after tax) related to
the impairment of existing IT systems and the abandonment of certain systems
under development. See Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

    INTEREST EXPENSE AND OTHER INCOME, NET--Interest expense and other income,
net, of $5.9 million, or 0.1% of net sales, in fiscal 1998, remained relatively
constant as a percentage of net sales compared with $4.3 million, or 0.1% of net
sales, in fiscal 1997. See "--Liquidity and Capital Resources."

    INCOME TAXES--The Company's effective tax rate was 38.5% for both fiscal
1998 and fiscal 1997. The effective tax rate for both fiscal 1998 and fiscal
1997 differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to state income
taxes, offset, in part, by the benefits of tax-exempt interest earned by the
Company.

    NET INCOME--As a result of the above, net income for fiscal 1998 was $31.5
million, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared with net income of $93.9 million,
or $0.99 per diluted share, for fiscal 1997.

QUARTERLY DATA AND SEASONALITY

    The Company expects that its quarterly results of operations will fluctuate
depending on the timing of the opening of, and the amount of net sales
contributed by, new stores and the timing of costs associated with the
selection, leasing, construction, and opening of new stores, as well as seasonal
factors, store closings, product introductions, and changes in product mix.

    Based upon its past operating history, the Company believes that its
business is seasonal. Excluding the effects of new store openings, net sales and
earnings are generally lower during the first and fourth fiscal quarters than in
the second and third fiscal quarters. See Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    At June 26, 1999, total assets were $1.47 billion, $1.10 billion of which
were current assets, including $173.4 million of cash and cash equivalents. Net
cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 1999 was $130.1 million
compared with $127.8 million in fiscal 1998.

    Approximately three-fourths of the Company's net sales during both fiscal
1999 and fiscal 1998 were sales for which the Company received payment at the
time of sale either in cash, by check, or by third-party credit card. The
remaining net sales were primarily sales for which the Company provided credit
terms to corporate, government, and education customers.

    Merchandise inventories increased to $667.5 million at June 26, 1999, from
$520.8 million at June 27, 1998. The increase in merchandise inventories is
primarily attributable to inventories at the 14 Computer Superstores opened in
fiscal 1999 and the 37 former Computer City stores and higher inventories held
at the Company's distribution and configuration facility. Inventory per store
was approximately $3.0 million at June 26, 1999, compared with approximately
$3.1 million at June 27, 1998.

</TABLE>

    The Company opened 14 Computer Superstores during fiscal 1999 and 33
Computer Superstores during fiscal 1998. The Company plans to open approximately
ten Computer Superstores in fiscal 2000. The Company anticipates capital
expenditures of approximately $12 million in connection with fiscal 2000 new
store openings and approximately $83 to $113 million in connection with other
capital programs, including the IT Initiatives. Excluding the effects of new
store openings, the Company's greatest short-term capital requirements occur
during the second fiscal quarter to support a higher level of sales in that
quarter. Short-term capital requirements are satisfied primarily by available
cash and cash equivalents and vendor and bank financing.

    Effective June 30, 1999, the Company entered into a three-year secured
revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a consortium of banks
and financial institutions that provides for borrowings and letters of credit up
to a maximum of $500 million, with letters of credit not to exceed $100 million.
The Credit Agreement replaces a previous $230 million secured credit facility.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are subject to a borrowing base (the
"Borrowing Base") that is equal to the sum of (a) 85% of eligible accounts
receivable, as defined, and (b) an amount equal to the lowest of (i) 65% of the
lower of cost or market value of eligible inventory, as defined, (ii) 85% of
appraised liquidation value, as defined, of eligible inventory or (iii) $400
million, less (c) outstanding letters of credit. The Borrowing Base may also be
reduced by certain reserves provided for in the Credit Agreement in the event
borrowings and letters of credit under the Credit Agreement exceed 50% of the
borrowing base without reduction for letters of credit or such reserves.
Borrowings pursuant to the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all the
Company's assets, excluding those of CompUSA Net.com. The Credit Agreement
requires the Company to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio in the
event the amount available for future borrowings under the Credit Agreement is
less than $75 million. At June 26, 1999, the Company had no amounts outstanding
under its previous secured credit facility. As of August 31, 1999, the Company
had approximately $485.5 million of total availability under the Credit
Agreement against which the Company had $40.0 million of outstanding borrowings
and $13.5 million of outstanding letters of credit.

    In July 1999, the Company announced the redemption of its 9 1/2% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2000 (the "Senior Subordinated Notes"). The Senior
Subordinated Notes were paid in full on August 3, 1999 utilizing available cash
balances and proceeds from borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

    The Company also finances certain fixture and equipment acquisitions through
equipment lessors. Lease financing is available from numerous sources and the
Company evaluates equipment leasing as a supplemental source of financing on a
continuing basis.

    In connection with the acquisition of Computer City, the Company issued a
$136 million subordinated promissory note payable to Tandy (the "Seller Note").
The Seller Note bears interest at a rate of 9.48% per annum and provides for its
repayment in semi-annual installments over a period of ten years. The first

                                       26
<PAGE>
three years of payments are interest only, with the first principal payment due
in December 2001. The unpaid principal amount of the Seller Note may be prepaid,
in whole or in part, at any time at the option of the Company, without premium
or penalty.

    The Company is currently transitioning CompUSA Net.com to an Internet-only
operation. The Company currently plans to explore strategic partnerships and/or
access the capital markets over the next three to six months to fund the growth
of CompUSA Net.com. There can be no assurance that such strategic partnerships
can be effected and/or such funding can be accomplished through the capital
markets on terms acceptable to the Company.

    The Company believes that its available cash and cash equivalents, funds
generated by operations, currently available vendor and floor plan financing,
lease financing, and funds available under the Credit Agreement should be
sufficient to finance its continuing operations and expansion plans through the
end of fiscal 2000 and to make all required payments of interest on the Seller
Note. The level of future expansion of both the Company and CompUSA Net.com will
be contingent upon the availability of additional capital.

INFLATION

    While inflation has not had, and the Company does not expect it to have, a
material impact upon operating results, there can be no assurances that the
Company's business will not be affected by inflation in the future.

NEW PRONOUNCEMENTS

    In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company has adopted the
annual disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 131 in the preparation of this Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 26, 1999, while the quarterly
disclosure requirements will be adopted in fiscal 2000. The American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants (the "AICPA") issued Statement of Position
("SOP") 98-1, "Accounting for Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained
for Internal Use," which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1998. The Company's current policy falls within the guidelines of SOP 98-1.
Also, the AICPA issued SOP 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up
Activities," which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1998. The Company adopted the provisions of SOP 98-5 in the preparation of the
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 1998.
The adoption of SOP 98-5 had no material impact on the Company's financial
statements.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES

    The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Computer equipment
and software and devices with embedded technology that are time-sensitive may
recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This
could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of
operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process
transactions, send invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities.

    The Company has undertaken various initiatives intended to ensure that its
computer equipment and software will function properly with respect to dates in
the year 2000 and thereafter. For this purpose, the term "computer equipment and
software" includes systems that are commonly thought of as IT systems, including
accounting, data processing, and telephone/PBX systems, cash registers,
hand-held terminals, scanning equipment, and other miscellaneous systems, as
well as systems that are not commonly thought of as IT systems, such as alarm
systems, sprinkler systems, fax machines, or other miscellaneous systems. Both

                                       27
<PAGE>
IT and non-IT systems may contain imbedded technology, which complicates the
Company's Year 2000 identification, assessment, remediation, and testing
efforts. Based upon its identification and assessment efforts to date, the
Company believes that certain of the computer equipment and software it
currently uses will require replacement or modification. In addition, in the
ordinary course of replacing computer equipment and software, the Company
attempts to obtain replacements that it believes are Year 2000 compliant.
Utilizing both internal and external resources to identify and assess needed
Year 2000 remediation, the Company currently anticipates that its Year 2000
identification, assessment, remediation, and testing efforts related to its IT
systems, which began in October 1996, will be completed by October 31, 1999, and
that such efforts will be completed prior to any currently anticipated impact on
its computer equipment and software. The Company estimates that as of June 26,
1999, it had completed approximately 85% of the initiatives that it believes
will be necessary to fully address potential Year 2000 issues relating to its
computer equipment and software. The projects comprising the remaining 15% of
the initiatives are in process and expected to be completed by October 31, 1999.
As non-IT system issues are identified and assessed, remediation and testing of
the non-IT system issues will be ongoing through December 31, 1999.

    The Company has also mailed letters to its significant vendors and service
providers and has verbally communicated with many strategic customers to
determine the extent to which interfaces with such entities are vulnerable to
Year 2000 issues and whether the products and services purchased from or by such
entities are Year 2000 compliant. As of June 26, 1999, the Company had received
responses from approximately 56% of such third parties, and 81% of the companies
that have responded have provided written assurances that they expect to address
all their significant Year 2000 issues on a timely basis.

    The Company believes that the cost of its Year 2000 identification,
assessment, remediation, and testing efforts, as well as currently anticipated
costs to be incurred by the Company with respect to Year 2000 issues of third
parties, will not exceed $5 million, which expenditures will be funded from
operating cash flows. Such amount represents approximately 3% of the Company's
total actual and anticipated IT expenditures for fiscal 1997 through fiscal
1999. As of June 26, 1999, the Company had incurred costs of approximately $4.0
million related to its Year 2000 identification, assessment, remediation, and
testing efforts. All of the $4.0 million relates to analysis, repair, or
replacement of existing software, upgrades to existing software, or evaluation
of information received from significant vendors, service providers, or
customers. Other non-Year 2000 IT efforts have not been materially delayed or
impacted by Year 2000 initiatives. The Company presently believes that the Year
2000 issue will not pose significant operational problems for the Company.
However, if all Year 2000 issues are not properly identified, or assessment,
remediation, and testing are not effected timely with respect to Year 2000
problems that are identified, there can be no assurance that the Year 2000 issue
will not materially adversely impact the Company's results of operations or
adversely affect the Company's relationships with customers, vendors, or others.
Additionally, there can be no assurance that the Year 2000 issues of other
entities will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's systems or
results of operations.

                                       28
<PAGE>
    The Company has begun, but not yet completed, a comprehensive analysis of
the operational problems and costs (including loss of revenues) that would be
reasonably likely to result from the failure by the Company and certain third
parties to complete efforts to achieve Year 2000 compliance on a timely basis. A
contingency plan has not been developed for dealing with the most reasonably
likely worst case scenario, and such scenario has not yet been clearly
identified. The Company currently plans to complete such analysis and
contingency planning by December 31, 1999.

    The costs of the Company's Year 2000 identification, assessment,
remediation, and testing efforts and the dates on which the Company believes it
will complete such efforts are based upon management's best estimates, which
were derived using numerous assumptions regarding future events, including the
continued availability of certain resources, third-party remediation plans, and
other factors. There can be no assurance that these estimates will prove to be
accurate and actual results could differ materially from those currently
anticipated. Specific factors that could cause such material differences
include, but are not limited to, the availability and cost of personnel trained
in Year 2000 issues, the ability to identify, assess, remediate, and test all
relevant computer codes and imbedded technology, and similar uncertainties,
including the variability of definitions of "compliance with Year 2000" and the
myriad of different products and services, and combinations thereof, sold by the
Company. In addition, some government and large corporate customers have
required the Company to represent and warrant to them that all of the products
the Company sells to them are Year 2000 compliant. The Company is a defendant in
one lawsuit involving Year 2000 issues, and these factors may lead to additional
claims whose impact on the Company is not currently estimable. No assurance can
be given that the aggregate cost of defending and resolving such claims will not
materially adversely affect the Company's results of operations. Although some
of the Company's agreements with manufacturers and others from whom it purchases
products for resale contain provisions requiring such parties to indemnify the
Company under some circumstances, there can be no assurance that such
indemnification arrangements will cover all of the Company's liabilities and
costs related to claims by third parties related to the Year 2000 issue.

ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

    The Company invests cash balances in excess of operating requirements in
short-term securities, generally with maturities of 90 days or less. The
Company's Credit Agreement provides for borrowings which bear interest at
variable rates based on either a prime rate or the London Interbank Offering
Rate. At June 26, 1999, the Company had no amounts outstanding under its
previous secured credit facility. As of August 31, 1999, the Company had
approximately $485.5 million of total availability under the Credit Agreement
against which the Company had $40.0 million of outstanding borrowings and $13.5
million of outstanding letters of credit. The Senior Subordinated Notes, which
required the Company to make semi-annual interest payments at a fixed interest
rate of 9 1/2% per annum, were paid in full on August 3, 1999. In addition, the
Seller Note requires the Company to make semi-annual installment payments with a
fixed interest rate of 9.48% per annum. The Company believes, because of the
retirement of the Senior Subordinated Notes, the fixed nature of the interest
charges of the Seller Note and current variable-rate indebtedness of $40.0
million, that the effect, if any, of reasonably possible near-term changes in
interest rates on the Company's financial position, results of operations, and
cash flows should not be material.

    Separate financial statements relating to the Company's subsidiaries are
omitted since all of them are wholly-owned and each, excluding CompUSA Net.com
Inc., guaranteed the Company's 9 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2000
("Senior Subordinated Notes") on a full, unconditional and joint and several
basis and the Company does not consider such separate financial statements to be
material to investors. In addition, summarized financial information with
respect to the subsidiaries who were guarantors of the Senior Subordinated Notes
is omitted from the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements
because the Senior Subordinated Notes were paid in full on August 3, 1999.

    All other financial statement schedules have been omitted because the
required information is not present or is not present in amounts sufficient to
require submission of the schedule or because the information required is
included in the financial statements, including the notes thereto.

    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CompUSA Inc.
(the "Company") as of June 26, 1999 and June 27, 1998, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended June 26, 1999. Our audits also
included the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index to
consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and schedule are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements and schedule 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 consolidated financial position of CompUSA Inc. at
June 26, 1999 and June 27, 1998, and the consolidated results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 26,
1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our
opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation
to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all
material respects the information set forth therein.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    BUSINESS--CompUSA Inc. (the "Company") is a retailer and reseller of
personal computer hardware, software, accessories, and related products and
services conducting its operations principally through its Computer
Superstores(SM) in the United States. The Company operated 211 Computer
Superstores at June 26, 1999, 162 Computer Superstores at June 27, 1998, and 129
Computer Superstores at June 28, 1997. In addition to the retail sales of its
stores, the Company's operations also include direct sales to corporate,
government, and education customers. In addition, the Company conducts a retail
Internet sales operation through its wholly-owned subsidiary, CompUSA Net.com
Inc. ("CompUSA Net.com") and sells build-to-order desktop and notebook personal
computers and servers through its wholly-owned subsidiary, CompUSA PC Inc. The
Company also provides training and technical services to its retail and
corporate, government, and education customers.

    FISCAL YEAR--The Company's fiscal year is a 52/53-week year ending on the
last Saturday of each June. All references to fiscal 1999 relate to the
fifty-two weeks ended July 26, 1999. All references to fiscal 1998 relate to the
fifty-two weeks ended June 27, 1998. All references to fiscal 1997 relate to the
fifty-two weeks ended June 28, 1997.

    CONSOLIDATION--The financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions
have been eliminated.

    USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of consolidated financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect
the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and the
disclosure of gain and loss contingencies at the date of the consolidated
financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

    CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS--Cash on hand in stores, deposits in banks, and
short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less are
considered cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at
cost, which approximates fair value.

    ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE--Accounts receivable represent amounts due from
customers related to the sale of the Company's products and services. Such
receivables are generally due from a diverse group of corporate, government, and
education customers located throughout the United States and, accordingly, do
not include any specific concentrations of credit risk. The Company believes it
has provided adequate reserves for potentially uncollectible accounts. The
Company's bad debt expense was $3.4 million in fiscal 1999, $1.6 million in
fiscal 1998, and $959,000 in fiscal 1997.

    MERCHANDISE INVENTORIES--Merchandise inventories are valued at the lower of
cost, determined on a weighted average basis, or market.

    PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT--Property and equipment are stated at cost.
Depreciation is provided in amounts sufficient to charge the cost of the
respective assets to operations over their estimated service lives on a
straight-line basis. Estimated service lives are as follows:

<TABLE>
<S>                                    <C>
Furniture, fixtures and equipment....              3 to 10 years
Leasehold improvements and equipment   Lower of the estimated useful life of
  under capital leases...............  asset or life of lease, generally 10
                                                      to 15 years

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    REVENUE RECOGNITION--The Company generally recognizes revenues at the time
of sale to retail customers and upon shipment to corporate, government, and
education customers. As to training and technical service sales, the Company
generally recognizes revenues upon delivery of services to the customer.

    The Company sells extended service plans on behalf of unrelated third
parties and, to a lesser extent, sells its own extended service plans in those
states in which third-party service plan sales are not permitted. In either
case, the extended service plans are administered by a third party and all
performance obligations and risk of loss with respect to such contracts are
transferred to unrelated third parties at the time the contracts are sold by the
Company. Revenues and all costs related to such revenues are recognized at the
time of sale.

    ADVERTISING EXPENSES--Advertising expenses are expensed in the month
incurred, subject to reduction by reimbursement from vendors. Net advertising
expenses were not a significant component of store operating expenses in fiscal
1999, fiscal 1998, or fiscal 1997.

    PRE-OPENING COSTS--The American Institute of Certified Public Accountant's
(the "AICPA") Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of
Position ("SOP") 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities." This SOP
is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1998. The SOP requires that entities expense start-up costs and organization
costs as they are incurred. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 1999, the
Company adopted the provisions of SOP 98-5 and began expensing all pre-opening
costs, which consist primarily of personnel and advertising expenses incurred
prior to a store's opening and promotional costs associated with the opening, as
they are incurred. Before the adoption of SOP 98-5, pre-opening costs were
deferred prior to the date of the store's grand opening and were expensed in the
month of the store's grand opening. The adoption of the provisions of SOP 98-5
had no material impact on the Company's financial statements.

    INCOME TAXES--Income taxes are maintained in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes,"
whereby deferred income tax assets and liabilities result from temporary
differences. Temporary differences are differences between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial
statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years.

    INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE--Basic earnings (loss) per share has been computed
using the weighted average number of shares of common stock of the Company
("Common Stock") outstanding for each period presented. The dilutive effect of
stock options and other common stock equivalents is included in the calculation
of diluted earnings per share using the treasury stock method.

</TABLE>

    For fiscal 1999, approximately 1.2 million incremental shares assuming
dilution related to the Company's outstanding stock options were excluded from
the calculation of the diluted loss per share since the impact was
anti-dilutive. Outstanding stock options for which the exercise prices exceeded
the fair market value of the Common Stock aggregated 6,809,313 at June 26, 1999,
5,155,455 at June 27, 1998, and 4,054,111 at June 28, 1997.

    On November 6, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors declared a two-for-one
stock split effected in the form of a stock dividend to stockholders of record
on November 18, 1996, payable on December 2, 1996. Stock options and all other
agreements payable in Common Stock were adjusted automatically by their
respective terms to reflect the stock split. Amounts equal to the par value of
shares issued in connection with the stock split were transferred from
additional paid-in capital to the common stock account.

    LONG-LIVED ASSETS--In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed Of." SFAS No. 121 requires that losses on the impairment of
long-lived assets used in operations be recorded when indicators of impairment
are present and the undiscounted cash flows to be generated by those assets are
less than the assets' carrying amounts.

    SEGMENT REPORTING--In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures
about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which establishes
standards requiring public business enterprises to report information about
operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those
enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim
financial reports. SFAS No. 131 also establishes standards for related
disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers.
SFAS No. 131 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1997, and therefore the Company has adopted the annual
disclosure requirements in the

2.  FISCAL 1999 NON-RECURRING AND RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

    In fiscal 1999, the Company incurred non-recurring and restructuring charges
aggregating approximately $93.8 million related to various programs and
initiatives undertaken by the Company ("Fiscal 1999 Initiatives"). The Fiscal
1999 Initiatives included (1) initiatives announced in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 1999 as result of the Company's extensive evaluation of its core
businesses (the "Fourth Quarter Initiatives"), (2) the transition of the former
Computer City stores to the CompUSA Computer Superstore format (the "Computer
City Transition"), (3) the formation of CompUSA Net.com and its transition to an
Internet-only business (the "CompUSA Net.com Realignment"), and (4) information
technology initiatives (the "IT Initiatives").

    The following table summarizes the financial statement classification of the
charges related to the Fiscal 1999 Initiatives:

    Cash requirements related to the Fiscal 1999 Initiatives aggregated
approximately $30.3 million, a substantial portion of which were paid prior to
June 26, 1999 from cash generated from operations.

    FOURTH QUARTER INITIATIVES--The Fourth Quarter Initiatives were announced by
the Company on June 24, 1999 as a result of the Company's extensive evaluation
of its core businesses. The Fourth Quarter Initiatives are designed to increase
gross margins, reduce operating costs, improve customer service, and position
the Company to take advantage of additional strategic opportunities. Costs of
approximately $67.5 million were recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999
in connection with the Fourth Quarter Initiatives. The Company anticipates
incurring additional non-recurring charges related to the Fourth Quarter
Initiatives in fiscal 2000 primarily related to, among other things, severance
actions taken by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2000.

    Charges recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 in connection with the
Fourth Quarter Initiatives related to (1) the streamlining of the Company's
training business, (2) the reorganization of the Company's technical services
business, (3) the redesign of the Company's sales and fulfillment activities for
corporate, government, and education customers, (4) the evaluation of the
profitability of the Company's stores, and (5) the change in the third-party
provider of the extended service plans sold by the Company after June 1999.

    STREAMLINING OF TRAINING BUSINESS--In connection with the redesign of the
Company's training services business, the Company implemented a vertical,
market-based organizational structure. Previously, each

store operated as an independent training organization with a local focus. Costs
of approximately $600,000, primarily related to the severance of approximately
125 employees and other personnel costs, were incurred as a result of the
training initiative in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999. The training
initiative was substantially completed in July 1999.

    REORGANIZATION OF TECHNICAL SERVICES BUSINESS--As a result of the evaluation
of its technical services business, the Company implemented a strategy to focus
on high-volume technical service opportunities, including "break-fix" and
on-site warranty and technical services. In addition, the Company outsourced
networking and systems configuration services to third-party providers. Costs of
approximately $600,000, primarily related to the severance of approximately 150
employees and other personnel costs, were incurred as a result of the technical
services initiative in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999. The technical services
initiative was also substantially completed in July 1999.

    REDESIGN OF DIRECT SALES, FULFILLMENT, AND CONFIGURATION ACTIVITIES--As part
of the Fourth Quarter Initiatives, the Company also committed to a plan to
redesign its sales, fulfillment, and configuration activities to corporate,
government, and education customers by (1) outsourcing the product sales,
fulfillment, and configuration operations and (2) consolidating the Company's
direct sales force.

    In connection with the outsourcing of the fulfillment of its sales orders
from corporate, government, and education customers, the Company has implemented
a plan to liquidate the related inventories in its fulfillment and configuration
facility and its retail stores. As a result, the Company recorded a charge of
approximately $37.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 to write down
the carrying values of such inventories to management's estimates of the net
realizable value of such inventories to be realized through vendor returns,
liquidation through third parties, and promotional activities in the Company's
stores. Such liquidation efforts are expected to be substantially completed by
the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2000.

    Costs incurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 in connection with the
expected abandonment of the related Company's fulfillment and configuration
facility activities consisted primarily of a $13.2 million write-down of the
fixed assets having no future utility to the Company and a $2.2 million charge
for the estimated remaining lease rentals and other carrying costs, net of
estimated subrental income, associated with that facility prior to the
expiration of the lease term in 2008. In August 1999, the Company discontinued
the fulfillment and configuration activities previously conducted in its
Dallas/Fort Worth-area fulfillment and configuration facility. At that time,
sales orders for corporate, government, and education customers began to be
fulfilled by a third-party distribution partner.

    In August 1999, the Company organized a centralized direct sales and support
function and opened a new 80,000 square foot call center in Dallas to accomodate
these functions. Previously, each store maintained a separate direct sales
force. As a result of the centralization of the direct sales force, the Company
severed approximately 2,200 employees in August 1999 previously responsible for
the direct sales activities conducted through the Company's stores. The costs of
these severance actions will be expensed by the Company in the first quarter of
fiscal 2000.

    EVALUATION OF COMPANY'S STORES--In connection with the Fourth Quarter
Initiatives, the Company analyzed each of its retail stores in terms of
profitability and growth potential and closed four stores in July 1999. In
connection with the closing of these four stores, the Company incurred costs of
approximately $2.6 million, primarily related to the write-down of fixed assets
having no future utility to the Company and the liquidation of inventories. In
addition, the Company determined that the carrying values of the

2.  FISCAL 1999 NON-RECURRING AND RESTRUCTURING CHARGES (CONTINUED)
long-lived assets at 15 of the Company's stores exceeded the estimated
undiscounted future cash flows to be generated by those stores. Accordingly, the
Company wrote down the carrying values of the long-lived assets at those stores,
primarily store fixtures and leasehold improvements, by approximately $6.5
million. After the write-down, the carrying values of such assets equal their
estimated fair values based on the net present value of the stores' estimated
future cash flows.

    CHANGE IN EXTENDED SERVICE PLAN PROGRAM--In June 1999, in response to a
proposed premium rate increase related to the then current extended service plan
program (the "Prior ESP Program"), the Company terminated the Prior ESP Program.
In July 1999, the Company implemented a new extended service plan program
utilizing new administration and insurance companies. As a result of the
foregoing, the Company provided for estimated losses of approximately $2.0
million associated with certain unresolved issues with the administrator of the
Prior ESP Program.

    The administration of the extended service plans sold pursuant to the Prior
ESP Program is the responsibility of the administrator under the Prior ESP
Program and/or the insurance companies that insured the administration
obligations of the Prior ESP Program. In July 1999, the Company elected, for
business and customer relations reasons, to provide supplemental administrative
services to purchasers of extended service plans sold pursuant to the Prior ESP
Program who experience difficulty in obtaining services from the administrator
of the Prior ESP Program. The Company is currently seeking reimbursement from
the insurance companies of the costs incurred by the Company in fiscal 2000 in
providing these supplemental services. The Company believes it is entitled to
full reimbursement of such costs and, during the first half of fiscal 2000, the
Company expects to consummate an arrangement with the insurance companies for
the reimbursement of such costs. In addition, the Company expects, during the
first half of fiscal 2000, to reach an agreement with the insurance companies
regarding the future administration of the Prior ESP Program. Depending upon the
outcome of these negotiations, the Company may record a charge for the estimated
costs related to the supplemental and future administration of the Prior ESP
Program, to the extent such costs are not reimbursed by the insurance companies.

    COMPUTER CITY TRANSITION--The Company incurred costs of approximately $9.9
million in fiscal 1999 related to the training of personnel at the former
Computer City stores and other costs necessary to convert the former Computer
City stores to CompUSA Computer Superstores. These costs included a $2.4 million
charge taken in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 for the closure of CompUSA
Computer Superstores in markets where a former Computer City store remained open
in close proximity to the closed CompUSA Computer Superstore.

    COMPUSA NET.COM REALIGNMENT--In March 1999, the Company completed the
formation of CompUSA Net.com by contributing to it the net assets of the
Company's CompUSA Direct division. Prior to the formation of CompUSA Net.com,
the Company conducted its mail order, fulfillment, and retail Internet sales
operations through CompUSA Direct. Concurrent with the formation of CompUSA
Net.com, the Company announced plans to change the operations of CompUSA Net.com
to an Internet-only business. Beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999,
the mail order and other non-Internet sales operations previously conducted by
CompUSA Direct were phased out or transferred to the Company. In connection with
the CompUSA Net.com Realignment, the Company incurred costs of approximately
$6.6 million. The primary components of such costs were (1) costs aggregating
approximately $3.8 million associated with the phaseout of the previous mail
order and other non-Internet sales operations of CompUSA Direct, primarily costs
related to the severance of approximately 200 employees and the write-down of
inventories not consistent with the Internet-only operations to be conducted by

CompUSA Net.com, and (2) costs of approximately $2.8 million associated with the
development and implementation of the Internet-only strategy, primarily
consulting and professional fees.

    IT INITIATIVES--In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company committed
to a new IT strategy. Pursuant to this strategy, the Company outsourced
substantially all of its IT processes to a third-party service provider. In
addition, the Company selected an Enterprise Resource Management ("ERM") system
in fiscal 1999 to replace a substantial portion of the Company's existing IT
systems. The Company implemented the first phases of the ERM system in July and
August 1999 and expects to complete the final implementation of the ERM system
in fiscal 2000. In fiscal 1999, the Company incurred non-recurring expenses of
approximately $9.9 million related to the outsourcing of its IT operations and
training and other non-capitalizable costs incurred in connection with the
implementation of the ERM system.

3.  FISCAL 1998 NON-RECURRING AMORTIZATION CHARGE

    During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company committed to a plan to
implement a new IT strategy. In fiscal 1999, pursuant to the strategy, the
Company signed an agreement to outsource substantially all of its IT processes
and began the implementation of the ERM system. In February 1999, the Company
completed an agreement for the outsourcing of substantially all of its IT
development and support for the Company's Computer Superstores and related
operations, such as technical services, training, CompUSA PC build-to-order,
call center, and support for the implementation of the ERM system.
Implementation of the ERM system will result in the replacement of a substantial
portion of the Company's existing IT systems, as well as certain systems
previously under development. The Company completed the first phase of the ERM
system implementation on June 26, 1999 with future installations slated for
September 1999 and the first half of calendar 2000.

    As a result of the decision made in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998 to
implement the ERM system, the Company recorded a non-recurring, pre-tax
amortization charge of $55.9 million (approximately $34.4 million after tax).
The $55.9 million charge was comprised of (1) a $52.3 million write-off of costs
incurred in connection with a previous development project and (2) a $3.6
million charge for non-cancelable lease obligations related to IT assets
abandoned and other losses incurred as a result to the decision to implement the
ERM system.

    With the decision to implement the ERM system, the Company abandoned a
previous IT development project to replace and integrate many of the Company's
current IT systems. In connection with this previous development project, the
Company incurred approximately $81.7 million of costs related to the purchase,
development, enhancement, integration and customization of various IT
applications and modules in order to develop an overall integrated system.

3.  FISCAL 1998 NON-RECURRING AMORTIZATION CHARGE (CONTINUED)

    Of the costs incurred in connection with the previous development project,
the Company incurred approximately $30.1 million of development costs related to
IT systems, primarily retail point-of-sale applications, never placed into
service by the Company. As a result of the decision to implement the ERM system,
further development activities with respect to the retail point-of-sale
applications were abandoned in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998 and the Company
wrote off such costs. The Company will continue to use its existing retail
point-of-sale applications until replacement applications are installed in
connection with the ERM system in fiscal 2000, at which time the existing retail
point-of-sale applications will be fully depreciated.

    Additional costs of approximately $40.5 million were incurred in connection
with the previous development project related to IT systems, primarily
commercial sales and distribution applications and inventory management
applications, for which only certain of the developed modules were placed into
service by the Company prior to the decision to implement the ERM system. With
the decision to implement the ERM system, further development activities with
respect to the commercial sales and distribution and inventory management
applications were abandoned in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998. The estimated
costs of the developed modules placed into service by the Company, primarily the
commercial sales module, are approximately $18.3 million and the net carrying
value of such assets was approximately $16.9 million at June 27, 1998. The
remaining costs related to modules developed in connection with this portion of
the development project but not placed into service by the Company aggregated
approximately $22.2 million and these costs were written off in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1998. The Company will continue to use and depreciate the
modules placed into service until replacement applications are placed into
service in connection with the ERM system in fiscal 2000, at which time the
existing modules will be fully depreciated.

4.  PURCHASE OF COMPUTER CITY

    On August 31, 1998, the Company completed its acquisition of Computer City,
Inc. ("Computer City") from Tandy Corporation ("Tandy"), for an aggregate
purchase price of approximately $175 million, payable in a note and cash. The
purchase price is subject to post-closing adjustments that the Company
anticipates finalizing with Tandy in the second quarter of fiscal 2000.

    In connection with the acquisition of Computer City, the Company issued a
$136 million subordinated promissory note payable to Tandy (the "Seller Note").
The Seller Note bears interest at a rate of 9.48% per annum and provides for its
repayment in semi-annual installments over a period of ten years. The first
three years of payments are interest only, with the first principal payment due
in December 2001. The unpaid principal amount of the Seller Note may be prepaid,
in whole or in part, at any time at the option of the Company, without premium
or penalty.

    Effective November 1, 1998, the Company sold the seven Canadian Computer
City supercenters acquired by the Company to Future Shop Ltd. for approximately
$7.0 million in cash and the assumption of certain liabilities.

    The purchase of Computer City has been accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting. Accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the
acquired assets and liabilities based on fair values as of the acquisition date.
The excess of the purchase price paid over the estimated fair values of the
acquired assets and liabilities (goodwill) of approximately $105 million is
being amortized over 20 years on a straight-line basis, resulting in a net
carrying value of approximately $100.6 million at June 26, 1999.

    The net assets acquired at estimated fair value consisted of inventories of
$167.3 million, accounts receivable and other current assets of $65.8 million
and property and equipment of $25.2 million, net of accounts payable and accrued
liabilities of $158.9 million and the $29.0 million reserve for future rental
obligations and related carrying costs for closed stores.

    The Company will periodically assess the recoverability of costs in excess
of net assets acquired based on existing facts and circumstances and projected
earnings before interest, depreciation, and amortization, on an undiscounted
basis. Should the Company's assessment indicate an impairment of this asset in
the future, an appropriate write-down will be recorded.

    The accompanying statement of operations for fiscal 1999, includes the
results of operations from the acquisition date for the 37 former Computer City
stores in the United States that the Company operated as CompUSA Computer
Superstores and two former Computer City "small market" stores in fiscal 1999.
The results of liquidating the 55 Computer City stores in the United States
closed by the Company, and the seven Computer City supercenters in Canada sold
by the Company, are not included in the accompanying fiscal 1999 statement of
operations, but rather represent adjustments to the value of the related assets
acquired and liabilities assumed. The following pro forma net sales, net loss,
and diluted loss per share data summarize the results of operations of the
Company for the periods indicated as if Computer City had been acquired as of
the beginning of fiscal 1998. The pro forma results given below are not

    At June 26, 1999, the Company had net deferred tax assets aggregating $53.8
million. Based on its tax planning strategies and current projections of future
taxable income, the Company believes it is more likely than not that the Company
will realize the recorded deferred tax assets. Accordingly, no valuation
allowance was established at June 26, 1999.

    Rental expense of the Company amounted to $112.9 million in fiscal 1999,

9.  CREDIT AGREEMENT

    Effective June 30, 1999, the Company entered into a three-year secured
revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a consortium of banks
and financial institutions that provides for borrowings and letters of credit up
to a maximum of $500 million, with letters of credit not to exceed $100 million.
The Credit Agreement replaces a previous $230 million secured credit facility.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are subject to a borrowing base (the
"Borrowing Base") that is equal to the sum of (a) 85% of eligible accounts
receivable, as defined, and (b) an amount equal to the lowest of (i) 65% of the
lower of cost or market value of eligible inventory, as defined, (ii) 85% of
appraised liquidation value, as defined, of eligible inventory or (iii) $400
million, less (c) outstanding letters of credit. The Borrowing Base may also be
reduced by certain reserves provided for in the Credit Agreement in the event
borrowings and letters of credit under the Credit Agreement exceed 50% of the
borrowing base without reduction for letters of credit or such reserves.
Borrowings pursuant to the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of
the Company's assets, excluding those of CompUSA Net.com. The funds available
under the Credit Agreement may be used for any corporate purpose. At June 26,
1999, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under its previous secured
credit facility.

9.  CREDIT AGREEMENT (CONTINUED)
    Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company's
option, at either a prime rate or a rate based on the London Interbank Offering
Rate (LIBOR) plus a specified margin. The Company also pays certain commitment
and agent fees. The Company has the annual option to extend the Credit Agreement
for an additional year with the lenders' approval.

    The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a minimum fixed charge
coverage ratio in the event the amount available for future borrowings under the
Credit Agreement is less than $75 million. The Credit Agreement imposes certain
limitations on indebtedness, investments, purchases of Common Stock, prepayment
of subordinate debt, mergers and consolidations, acquisitions, liens and capital
expenditures, and prohibits the payment of dividends (other than stock
dividends). The indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is guaranteed on a full,
unconditional, and joint and several basis by all the subsidiaries of the
Company except CompUSA Net.com.

10.  SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES

    In June 1993, the Company issued $110,000,000 in principal amount of 9 1/2%
Senior Subordinated Notes due June 15, 2000. Interest on the Senior Subordinated
Notes was payable semi-annually on each June 15 and December 15. The Senior
Subordinated Notes were paid in full on August 3, 1999.

    The fair value of the Senior Subordinated Notes, based on quoted market
prices, was approximately $110.0 million at June 26, 1999, and $111.7 million at
June 27, 1998.

11.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

    On April 23, 1998, a lawsuit, Hoeck v. CompUSA Inc. et al., was filed by a
stockholder of the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern
District of Texas against the Company and certain of its officers, seeking class
action status on behalf of the purchasers of Common Stock and related publicly
traded options during the class period. On June 24, 1998, a second stockholder
suit was filed against the Company making virtually the same allegations. On
August 24, 1998, a consolidated amended complaint was filed in the Hoeck case,
effectively consolidating the two cases. Among other things, the plaintiffs
allege that in order to halt a decline in the market price of Common Stock and
to artificially inflate the stock price, CompUSA insiders falsely reported to
the market in early January 1998 that the Company was achieving strong sales of
certain types of products. The plaintiffs also allege that misstatements and
omissions by Company personnel related to projected and historical operating
results, sales, and other matters involving corporate operations resulted in an
inflation of the stock price. The plaintiffs seek unspecified compensatory
damages, recissory damages, interest, and attorneys' fees and costs, as well as
certain equitable relief. On September 25, 1998, the Company filed a Motion to
Dismiss together with a brief in support of the motion. On August 30, 1999, the
Court granted the Company's motion and dismissed the complaint. The plaintiffs
have until September 20, 1999, to file an amended complaint. Based on currently
available information, it is not possible to give an estimate of the possible
loss or range of loss that might be incurred by the Company if the plaintiffs in
these lawsuits were to file an amended complaint and prevail in the litigation.
The Company believes the plaintiffs' claims are without merit and intends to
vigorously defend against such charges.

    On January 14, 1999, a nonclass lawsuit, Tom Johnson v. Circuit City Stores,
Inc., et al., was filed by plaintiff Tom Johnson on behalf of himself and the
California public against Circuit City Store, Inc. and seven other computer
products retailers, including the Company. Without identifying any specific acts
by any specific retailers, Johnson's complaint alleges that such retailers have
(1) misrepresented the Year 2000

11.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
("Y2K") compliance of products sold by them, (2) sold unnecessary Y2K fixes,
and/or (3) failed to disclose the need for Y2K fixes or upgrades. Johnson's
complaint requests (1) the freezing of the retailers' assets, (2) the
restitution of all funds acquired by the retailers since January 15, 1995, by
means of the alleged conduct, (3) an injunction requiring the retailers to
disclose the nature of the Y2K problem, a means to determine Y2K compliance and
what fixes are available to all of their customers who have bought products
since January 15, 1995, and (4) attorneys' fees. Together with the other
defendants, the Company has filed a Motion to Dismiss the complaint and such
motion is currently pending. Based on currently available information, it is not
possible to give an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss that might be
incurred by the Company if the plaintiff in this lawsuit were to prevail in the
litigation. The Company believes the claims are without merit and intends to
vigorously defend against such charges.

    In addition to the matters described above, the Company is a defendant from
time to time in lawsuits incidental to its business. Based on currently
available information, the Company believes that resolution of all known
contingencies, including the matters described above, would not have a material
adverse impact on the Company's financial statements. However, there can be no
assurances that future costs would not be material to the results of operations
of the Company for a particular future period. In addition, the Company's
estimates of future costs are subject to change as circumstances change and
additional information becomes available during the course of litigation.

12.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

    The Company sponsors a defined contribution profit-sharing plan (the "401(k)
Plan") covering employees of the Company and its subsidiaries who are at least
21 years of age. Effective April 1, 1998, eligible employees may become
participants as of the first day of the next calendar quarter after their hire
date. The 401(k) Plan is intended to constitute a qualified profit sharing plan
within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), which includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement
within the meaning of Code section 401(k). In addition, the Company sponsors a
deferred compensation plan that permits eligible officers and employees to defer
a portion of their compensation. Contributions to both the 401(k) Plan and the
deferred compensation plan consist of employee pre-tax contributions determined
as a percentage of each participating employee's compensation and the Company's
matching contributions up to a specified limit. The Company may make additional
contributions to either or both plans at the discretion of the Company's Board
of Directors. The Company's expense for contributions to the 401(k) Plan and the
deferred compensation plan aggregated $1.6 million for fiscal 1999, $2.3 million
for fiscal 1998, and $1.4 million for fiscal 1997.

13.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

    TREASURY STOCK--In September 1997, the Company's Board of Directors
authorized the purchase of up to $60 million of Common Stock. As of June 27,
1998, the Company had purchased 2.2 million shares of Common Stock, to be held
as treasury stock, for approximately $60.0 million (approximately $27.34 per
share), pursuant to the September 1997 authorization, and as a result, no
additional treasury stock purchases can currently be made by the Company
pursuant to such authorization.

    In March 1997, the Company made a cash contribution to the 401(k) Plan to
effect the Company's required contribution to the plan for calendar 1996, which
the plan used to purchase 62,833 shares of treasury stock from the Company. In
March 1999, the Company made a cash contribution to the 401(k)

13.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)
Plan to effect the Company's required contribution to the plan for calendar
1998, which the plan used to purchase 167,549 shares of treasury stock from the
Company.

    STOCK-BASED INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLANS--The CompUSA Inc. Long-Term
Incentive Plan (the "Long-Term Incentive Plan") provides for the granting of
stock-based incentive compensation in the form of stock options, restricted
stock grants, stock appreciation rights, performance share awards, and stock
unit awards, or a combination thereof. The Long-Term Incentive Plan, as restated
and amended through June 26, 1999, authorizes the issuance of up to 16,788,736
shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such incentive awards to employees,
nonemployee directors, and advisors of the Company. Under the Long-Term
Incentive Plan, stock option awards may be granted in the form of incentive
stock options or nonstatutory stock options that generally become exercisable in
cumulative installments over periods of three to four years and expire after ten
years. Exercise prices of incentive stock options must be equal to or greater
than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the grant date.

    The CompUSA Inc. Nonstatutory Option Plan (the "Nonstatutory Option Plan")
provides for the granting of stock-based compensation in the form of
nonstatutory stock options. The Nonstatutory Option Plan authorizes the issuance
of up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Any employee of the Company or its
subsidiaries who is not also an officer or director of the Company is eligible
for an award pursuant to the Nonstatutory Option Plan. The Compensation
Committee has discretion to determine the option periods, the exercise prices,
and how the options granted under the Nonstatutory Option Plan become
exercisable.

    The CompUSA Inc. Restricted Stock Plan (the "Restricted Stock Plan")
provides for the granting of stock-based incentive compensation in the form of
restricted stock. The Restricted Stock plan authorizes the issuance of up to
1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to officers of the Company and its
subsidiaries. Restricted stock granted pursuant to the Restricted Stock Plan
will be restricted for a period of time to be determined by the Compensation
Committee at the time of award, which period shall not exceed ten years. The
restricted stock will be forfeited if a participant's employment is terminated
prior to the end of the restriction period. The restrictions on the stock
prohibit the sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or other encumbrance of the
restricted stock.

    Stock option transactions related to the Company's various stock-based
incentive plans are summarized in the following table:

    The Company granted restricted stock awards to the Company's officers for
405,189 shares of Common Stock in fiscal 1999, 88,150 shares of Common Stock in
fiscal 1998, and 80,002 shares of Common Stock in fiscal 1997. The restricted
stock awards vest to the employees no later than the fifth anniversary of the
grant date. The vesting period may be accelerated to a minimum of three years if
specified performance goals are met. A provision for restricted shares is made
ratably over the vesting period. Expense recognized under the plan for
restricted shares was $1.6 million for fiscal 1999, $1.3 million for fiscal
1998, and $729,500 for fiscal 1997.

    At June 26, 1999, the Company had an aggregate of 2,143,195 shares of Common
Stock available for future grants under its stock-based incentive compensations
plans.

    The Company has adopted the pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." As required by SFAS 123, pro forma
information regarding net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share has been
determined as if the Company had accounted for employee stock options and
stock-based awards granted subsequent to June 24, 1995 under the fair value
method provided for under SFAS 123. The fair value for those options was
estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Sholes option pricing model with
the following weighted-average assumptions:

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

13.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)

    PREFERRED STOCK--The Company has authorized 10,000 shares of preferred
stock, $.01 per share par value, none of which was issued and outstanding as of
June 26, 1999. However, the Board of Directors has the authority, without
further stockholder approval, to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more
series and to determine the dividend rights, any conversion rights or rights of
exchange, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund
provisions), liquidation preferences, and any other rights, preferences,
privileges, and restrictions of any series of preferred stock, and the number of
shares constituting such series and the designation thereof. The Company has no
present plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.

    RIGHTS AGREEMENT--On April 29, 1994, the Board of Directors of the Company
declared a dividend of one right to purchase preferred stock (a "Right") for
each outstanding share of Common Stock. As a result of the two-for-one stock
splits declared by the Board of Directors effective April 8, 1996 and November
18, 1996, the number of Rights associated with each outstanding share of Common
Stock has been decreased to one-fourth of a Right in accordance with the
provisions of the Rights Agreement. The Rights will expire on April 28, 2004.
Each Right will entitle its holder, in certain circumstances, to buy one
ten-thousandth of a newly issued share of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock (the "Junior Preferred Stock") of the Company at the purchase
price of $120 (the "Purchase Price").

    The Rights will be exercisable and transferable apart from the Common Stock
only if a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the
outstanding Common Stock or commences a tender or exchange offer upon
consummation of which such person or group would beneficially own 20% or more of
the outstanding Common Stock.

    The Company will generally be entitled to redeem the Rights at $.001 per
Right at any time until a person or group has become the beneficial owner of 20%
or more of the outstanding Common Stock. Under the Rights' "flip-in" feature, if
any person or group becomes the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the
outstanding Common Stock, then each Right not owned by such person or group of
certain related parties will entitle its holder to purchase, at the then current
Purchase Price, shares of Common Stock (or in certain circumstances as
determined by the Board of Directors, cash, other property, or other securities)
having a value of twice the Purchase Price. Alternatively, if a person or group
has become the beneficial owner of 20% or more, but less than 50%, of the
outstanding Common Stock, the Company may at its option exchange each Right of a
holder (other than such person or any member of such group) for one share of
Common Stock.

    Under the Rights' "flip-over" provision, if, after any person or group
becomes the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, the
Company is involved in a merger or other business combination transaction with
another person, or sells 50% or more of its assets or earning power to another
person in one or more transactions, each Right will entitle its holder to
purchase, at the then current Purchase Price, shares of common stock of such
other person having a value of twice the Purchase Price.

    The Junior Preferred Stock will not be redeemable and, unless otherwise
provided in connection with the creation of a subsequent series of preferred
stock, will be subordinate to all other series of the Company's preferred stock.
Each share of Junior Preferred Stock will represent the right to receive, when
and if declared, a quarterly dividend at an annual rate equal to the greater of
$1.00 per share or 10,000 times the quarterly per share cash dividends declared
on the Common Stock during the immediately preceding fiscal year. In addition,
each share of Junior Preferred Stock will represent the right to receive

13.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)
10,000 times any non-cash dividends (other than dividends payable in Common
Stock) declared on the Common Stock, in like kind. In the event of the
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, each share of Junior
Preferred Stock will represent the right to receive a liquidation payment in an
amount equal to the greater of $1.00 per share or 10,000 times the liquidation
payment made per share of Common Stock. Each share of Junior Preferred Stock
will have 10,000 votes, voting together with the Common Stock. In the event of
any merger, consolidation, or other transaction in which common shares are
exchanged, each share of Junior Preferred Stock will represent the right to
receive 10,000 times the amount received per share of Common Stock. The rights
of the Junior Preferred Stock as to dividends, liquidation, voting rights, and
merger participation are protected by anti-dilution provisions.

    EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE ARRANGEMENTS--The Company has severance arrangements for
all officers that provide severance pay benefits in the event of a change in
control of the Company, as defined in the severance agreements. The Company's
officers (33 persons) have employment agreements containing provisions pursuant
to which those persons will receive lump sum severance payments in an amount up
to 2.99 times the sum of (i) their current base salary at the time of
termination, (ii) two times their target bonus for the bonus period in which the
change in control occurs, and (iii) their annualized automobile allowance,
together with payments in lieu of continued group insurance benefits.

15.  SEGMENT REPORTING

    The Company's operations are conducted through four segments: Retail,
Direct, CompUSA PC, and CompUSA Net.com. These segments were determined based on
criteria consistent with those used by management of the Company in evaluating
its various businesses and allocating resources between businesses. A summary
description of the operations conducted by each segment is as follows:

    RETAIL--The Retail segment is comprised of the sales of products and
services to retail customers, primarily through the Company's Computer
Superstores.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

15.  SEGMENT REPORTING (CONTINUED)
    DIRECT--The Direct segment is comprised of sales of products and services to
corporate, government, and education customers. In fiscal 1999, 1998, and 1997,
such sales were fulfilled from either the Company's distribution and
configuration facility in the Dallas/Fort Worth area or from the Company's
Computer Superstores. As more fully described in Note 2, the Company committed
to a plan to redesign its sales, fulfillment and configuration activities to
corporate, government, and education customers in connection with the Fourth
Quarter Initiatives.

    COMPUSA PC--The CompUSA PC segment is comprised of the Company's assembly
operations related to its CompUSA PC brand of desktop and notebook personal
computers and servers. The CompUSA PC segment sells build-to-order products
directly to consumers and assembles pre-configured products for sale in the
Company's Computer Superstores.

    COMPUSA NET.COM--The CompUSA Net.com segment consists of the mail order,
fulfillment, and retail Internet sales operations previously conducted by the
CompUSA Direct division of the Company. As more fully described in Note 2, in
the third quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company contributed the net assets of the
CompUSA Direct division to CompUSA Net.com and announced plans to change the
operations of CompUSA Net.com to an Internet-only business. As a result, the
mail order and other non-Internet sales operations previously conducted by the
CompUSA Direct division and contributed to CompUSA Net.com were phased out or
transferred to the Company beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999.

    The accounting policies for each of the Company's segments are the same as
those used by the Company in the preparation of its consolidated financial
statements as described in Note 1. Intersegment sales and profits are eliminated
in the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements.

    Net sales for training and technical services aggregated $272.3 million in
fiscal 1999, $200.9 million in fiscal 1998, and $126.9 million in fiscal 1997.
Such sales are included in the sales of the Company's segments shown below.

(1) Certain assets in place in the Company's Computer Superstores are used
    primarily in the operations of the Retail segment. To a lesser extent, such
    assets are also used in the Direct segment operations conducted in the
    Company's Computer Superstores. The Company's accounting systems do not
    allow for the assets or related capital expenditures that are shared by
    multiple business segments to be allocated to specific segments. As a
    result, assets in place in the Company's Computer Superstores that are used
    in the operations of multiple segments and the capital expenditures relating
    to such assets are presented above for the Retail segment.

(2) As more fully described in Note 2, the Company incurred various
    non-recurring and restructuring charges in connection with the Fiscal 1999
    Initiatives. Of such charges, $39.7 million were charged to cost of sales
    and occupancy costs and $15.7 million were charged to operating expenses,
    which amounts were excluded from the determination of the operating income
    (loss) of the Company's segments above. In addition, the Company recorded
    $20.9 million of restructuring charges in fiscal 1999. Of the aggregate of
    such non-recurring and restructuring charges, the Company estimates that
    $11.9 million related to the Retail segment, $59.1 million related to the
    Direct segment, and $4.4 million related to the CompUSA Net.com segment.
