Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

     On May 1, 1996, the registrant acquired all of the assets used in the
"InCirt Technology" division of The Cerplex Group, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Cerplex").  The acquisition was effective as of April 1, 1996. 
InCirt Technology ("ICT") is engaged in the electronic manufacturing services
industry and specializes in using surface mount and through-hole
interconnection technologies in the assembly of complex printed circuit boards
and subsystems.  ICT also provides system level assembly services, as well as
materials management, board design and manufacturability consultation and
testing.

     The assets acquired by the Company are all of the assets used by ICT in
its operations including, but not limited to, inventory, accounts receivable,
furniture, fixtures and equipment, customer lists and intellectual property.

     The purchase price paid by the Company to Cerplex for ICT was
$5,300,000.  The purchase price consists of $3,500,000 in cash and 333,407
shares of the registrant's common stock.  In addition, the registrant will
deliver to Cerplex .09261 shares of its common stock for every dollar of past
due over 90 days accounts receivable of ICT collected by the registrant during
the first 180 days after the date of the acquisition closing, up to a maximum
of 55,568 shares of common stock ("Contingent Stock").  The Contingent Stock,
if issued in its entirety, has a value of $300,000.

     The purchase price for ICT was determined on the basis of arms-length
negotiations between the registrant and Cerplex and was based in large on part
the earnings and net assets of ICT.  There was no relationship between the
registrant and Cerplex prior to the acquisition.

     The cash portion of the purchase price was paid from the general
operating funds of the registrant and proceeds obtained under the Company's
credit facility with the National Bank of Canada.  The stock portion of the
purchase price was paid from authorized but previously unissued shares of the
registrant's common stock.

Item 7.  Financial Statements and Exhibits

     (a)  Financial Statements of Business Acquired.  It is impractical for
the registrant to provide the required financial statements at this time.  The
registrant will file these financial statements as soon as they are available,
but no later than 60 days after the date on which this report must be filed.

     (b)  Pro Forma Financial Information.  It is impractical for the
registrant to provide the required pro forma financial information at this
time.  The registrant will file this information as soon as it is available,
but no later than 60 days after the date on which this report must be filed.

     (c)  Exhibits.  The exhibits which pertain to the above-described
transaction shall be filed with the registrant's Form 10-QSB for the period
ending June 30, 1996.
