ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

            On May 21, 1998, AmeriServe Food Distribution, Inc. (the "Company"),
a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Nebco Evans Holdings
Company ("Parent"), became the owner of all of the capital stock of ProSource,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("ProSource"), pursuant to the merger (the
"Merger") of Steamboat Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"), with and into ProSource with
ProSource as the surviving corporation. At the effective time of the Merger (the
"Effective Time"), ProSource became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and
an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

            The Merger was consummated pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of January 29, 1998, by and among the
Company, Merger Sub and ProSource. The Merger Agreement was approved and adopted
by the stockholders of ProSource at a special meeting held on May 20, 1998. In
the Merger, each share of ProSource Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per
share ("Class A Shares"), and each share of ProSource Class B Common Stock, par
value $0.01 per share ("Class B Shares" and together with the Class A Shares,
the "Shares"), was converted into the right to receive $15.00 in cash without
interest (the "Merger Consideration"). In connection with the Merger, the
Company also refinanced certain outstanding indebtedness of ProSource. Total 
payments to ProSource's former stockholders are expected to be approximately 
$142 million in cash. The sources of funds used in the acquisition of ProSource
included cash on hand, a $50 million capital contribution to the Company from 
Parent and the sale of certain trade receivables of a wholly owned subsidiary of
ProSource under the Company's existing accounts receivable securitization 
program with Bank of America, a commercial paper conduit administered by Bank of
America NT&SA and a group of other banks.

            The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement
does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1, and is
incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the press release announcing the
consummation of the Merger is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is
incorporated herein by reference.


ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.

            At the Effective Time of the Merger, the Company, ProSource and
certain of the subsidiaries of ProSource (ProSource and such subsidiaries, the 
"New Subsidiary Guarantors") executed a Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as
of May 21, 1998 (the "Senior Notes Supplemental Indenture"), amending the 
Indenture, dated as of October 15, 1997, among the Company, certain subsidiaries
of the Company listed on the signature pages thereto and State Street Bank and 
Trust Company, as Trustee, as amended by a supplemental indenture dated as of 
December 23, 1997 (as so amended, the "Senior Notes Indenture"), providing for 
the issuance of an aggregate principal amount of $350,000,000 of 8 7/8% Senior 
Notes due 2006 (the "Senior Notes"). The New Subsidiary Guarantors also executed
a Note Guarantee, dated as of May 21, 1998 (the "Senior Notes Guarantee"), 
pursuant to which the New Subsidiary Guarantors became guarantors under the 
Senior Notes.
