INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
 
To the Plan Administrator
Tech Data Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan
 
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of the Tech Data Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

401(k) SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
(1)    DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
 
The following description of the Tech Data Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan (the Plan), provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
 
General—The Plan, a defined contribution plan adopted January 1, 2000, is a result of the merger of the Tech Data Corporation Retirement Savings Plan and the Tech Data Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”), both defined contribution plans. (See Note 7 regarding the merger.) The Plan has been amended regarding eligibility, the definitions of “year of service”, “compensation” and other terms, and discrimination testing. The Plan covered all employees of Tech Data Corporation and affiliated companies based in the United States (“the Company”) who completed 1,000 hours of service during a twelve month consecutive period and were age eighteen or older. Effective October 1, 2000, the Plan was amended such that an employee is eligible to participate with respect to elective contributions upon completing 30 days of employment and age eighteen or older. Eligibility for participation with respect to employer contributions is upon completion of one year of service and age eighteen or older as defined in the Plan documents. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
 
The trustees of the Plan have executed a trust agreement and contract for administration of Plan assets and recordkeeping with Scudder Trust Company (“Scudder”). Participants’ investment vehicle options are twelve mutual funds, a money market fund and common stock of Tech Data Corporation. Participants have the ability to direct the investment of their account balances among various combinations of these options. Each mutual fund account has unique and varied investment objectives including, but not limited to, corporate stock and debt instruments and money market instruments.
 
Contributions—Participants contribute to the Plan based on the amount they have specified in a salary deferral agreement. As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Plan allowed participants to contribute from 1% to 17% of their annual compensation. See Note 9 regarding elective deferral rates subsequent to December 31, 2001. Contributions made by the Company are at the discretion of its Board of Directors and may consist of direct employer contributions and matching contributions. For the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company matched 50% of salary deferrals up to 6% with Tech Data Corporation common stock.
 
Expenses of the Plan—All direct expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan are paid by the Company. Fees paid directly by participants are shown as a deduction from net assets in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.
 
Participant accounts—Earnings are allocated in proportion to the account values of the participant’s account which is invested in the investment facilities from which the earnings arise.
 
Loans—The Plan allows participants to borrow from the Plan for any purpose. Participants may borrow up to 50% of their vested account balance provided the loan does not exceed $50,000. Loans must be a minimum of $1,000 and are collateralized by the participant’s account.
 
Vesting—Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary deferral contributions, Company contributions to the Retirement Savings Plan prior to December 31, 1999 merged into the Plan, and earnings thereon. Vesting in the remainder of their accounts is based on years of continuous service. A participant is 100% vested after seven years of service for their ESOP merger account, and after four years of service for Company contributions and earnings thereon after January 1, 2000.
 
Forfeitures—Contributions forfeited by terminated participants are used to reduce Company contributions. Forfeitures of $794,820 were used during 2001 to reduce the Company’s matching contribution. Forfeitures and related earnings of approximately $205,000 and $398,000 were available to reduce Company contributions as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

(1)    DESCRIPTION OF PLAN, CONTINUED
 
Payment of benefits—Participants are eligible to receive benefits (1) upon reaching retirement age, (2) upon the disability of the participant, or (3) upon termination of service. Distributions are normally paid in a lump-sum amount; however, participants may elect to have their ESOP merger account balances paid in annual installments. The amount of assets that have been allocated to participants who have withdrawn from the Plan as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, but for whom distribution of those funds from the Plan had not yet been made were $17,090,336 and $7,344,261, respectively.
 
(2)    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of accounting—The accounts of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis.
 
Valuation of investments and income recognition—Investments in mutual funds, the money market fund, and Tech Data Corporation common stock are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the Plan year. Net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of investments for the year is reflected in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.
 
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
 
Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates.

(5)    PLAN TERMINATION
 
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.
 
(6)    INCOME TAX STATUS
 
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated January 29, 2002, that the Plan is qualified and the trust established under the Plan is tax-exempt, under the appropriate sections of the Code. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.
 
(7)    MERGER OF PLANS
 
On January 1, 2000 the Tech Data Corporation Retirement Savings Plan, a 401(k) plan and the Tech Data Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan merged into a new defined contribution plan, the Tech Data Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan. Each participant’s account balance in the merged plans was transferred to the 401(k) Savings Plan on January 1, 2000. The transfer of assets is reflected in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits. A summary of the transferred net assets is as follows:

(8)    EXCESS CONTRIBUTIONS
 
Contributions received from participants for 2001 and employee contributions receivable at December 31, 2001, have been reduced for payments of $96,893, net of unrealized depreciation, made in March 2002 to certain participants to return excess deferral contributions as required to satisfy the relevant nondiscrimination provisions of the Plan.
 
The Employer contributions for 2001 and employer contributions receivable at December 31, 2001 have also been reduced for payments of $22,303, including earnings, made in March 2002 to certain participants to return excess matching contributions as required to satisfy the relevant nondiscrimination provisions of the Plan.

(9)    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
The Plan documents were amended effective January 1, 2002 to allow participants to contribute 90% of their annual compensation (not exceeding regulatory limits).
 
In March 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the discontinuance of the Company matching contribution effective April 6, 2002.
 
As of the date of the auditor’s report, the market value of the Tech Data common stock decreased resulting in approximately $4,000,000 depreciation in fair value for investments in Tech Data common stock. This depreciation is reflected in the valuation of participant accounts subsequent to year end, and does not affect the Plan’s ability to pay future benefits.
