Explanatory Note

PC Connection, Inc. (“PC Connection”) hereby amends Part IV, Item 15 of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 (the “Annual Report”), as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2008 (the “Original Filing”). PC Connection is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A solely to amend and restate the (a) list of Exhibits in Item 15(b) and (b) Consent of Deloitte & Touche LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, which is attached to the Annual Report as Exhibit 23.1. Exhibit 23.1 to the Original Filing inadvertently failed to include a consent to the incorporation by reference of Deloitte’s report on the effectiveness of PC Connection’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. The revised Exhibit 23.1 now includes such a consent.

In accordance with Rule 12b-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, PC Connection has set forth the text of Item 15 in its entirety. No other revisions or amendments have been made to Part IV, Item 15 or to any other portion of the Annual Report. This Amendment does not reflect events occurring after March 14, 2008, the date of the Original Filing, or modify or update those disclosures that may have been affected by subsequent events. In addition, currently-dated certifications from PC Connection’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have been included as exhibits to this Amendment.
