ITEM 2.     ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

      On November 10, 1998, the Company filed its original Form 8-K ("FORM 8-K")
with the Securities and Exchange  Commission  with respect to the acquisition of
Sunbelt (UK) Limited ("SUNBELT"),  a company registered in England and Wales. In
the Form 8-K,  the  Company  stated  its  intention  to  provide  the  financial
information  of Sunbelt  required  by Item 7 of Form 8-K in an  amendment  to be
filed within sixty days. Subsequently, the Company determined that the financial
information  required by Item 7 of Form 8-K would not be  required  and filed an
amendment to the Form 8-K to that effect.  The Company has since determined that
the  financial  information  required  by Item 7 of Form 8-K  would be  required
because it had incorrectly excluded  approximately $1.2 million in advances made
to  Sunbelt in order to pay  dividends  to its  former  shareholders.  When such
advances are taken into account,  Sunbelt is a "significant" business under Rule
11-01(b) of Regulation  S-X. As a result,  the Company hereby amends Form 8-K to
provide the financial  information  of Sunbelt  pursuant to Item 7 thereof.  The
following is a description of the Sunbelt acquisition.

      On October 26, 1998,  European  Micro Plc, a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of
European Micro Holdings,  Inc. (the "COMPANY"),  acquired all of the outstanding
shares of capital  stock of Sunbelt  from the  shareholders  of Sunbelt  for the
consideration  described  below.  As a result of the  acquisition,  Sunbelt is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of European Micro Plc. The Sunbelt purchase price (to be
settled  in pounds  sterling)  is  comprised  of a  guaranteed  portion  and two
contingent  earn-out  payments.  The guaranteed  portion of the purchase  price,
which was based upon  Sunbelt's  net book value at closing and a multiple of its
fiscal year 1998 pre-tax  earnings,  was  approximately  $1.56 million.  Of this
guaranteed amount, approximately $600,000 was paid in cash at closing.

      The unpaid balance of the guaranteed consideration includes a note payable
to the former 40% Sunbelt shareholder in the amount of approximately $400,000 to
be repaid in  November  2005,  subject to early  repayment  at the option of the
noteholder  at any time after June 1,  1999.  Such note  payable is secured by a
cash account totaling $400,000 at December 31, 1998. The remainder of the unpaid
guaranteed consideration of approximately $565,000, plus accrued interest, is to
be paid in equal  installments  within  ninety (90) days of the end of the first
and second contingent earn-out periods as discussed below.

      The purchase agreement also contains contingent purchase price provisions.
The maximum  contingent  earn-out  payments in the  aggregate  are two (2) times
Sunbelt's  fiscal year 1998 pre-tax  earnings of  approximately  424,000  pounds
sterling  (approximately  $1.4 million).  The first contingent  payment of up to
approximately $700,000 will be made if certain financial parameters are attained
during the first contingent  earn-out period which runs from November 1, 1998 to
October 31, 1999,  and if certain of the Sunbelt  executives  are still employed
with the Company at the end of the first earn-out period.  The second contingent
payment  of up to  approximately  $700,000  will be made  if  certain  financial
parameters are attained during the second contingent  earn-out period which runs
from November 1, 1999 to October 31, 2000. That portion of the first  contingent
earn-out payment related to employee retention, approximately $175,000, is being
recognized  by the  Company  over the  course of the first  contingent  earn-out
period as compensation  expense.  The remaining  portion of the first contingent
earn-out payment of approximately  $525,000 and the second  contingent  earn-out
payment have not been recognized, as the payment of such amounts are not, in the
opinion of management, determinable beyond a reasonable doubt.

      Within ninety (90) days of the end of first and second contingent earn-out
periods,  the first and second purchase price installment payments will be made.
Such  installment  payments  will each  include  one-half of the  remaining  40%
guaranteed  purchase  price  amounts,  plus any  amounts due under the first and
second contingent earn-out payment provisions. The amounts due to the former 40%
shareholder  of Sunbelt will be satisfied by the issuance of a convertible  loan
note due six years after the date of issue,  and subject to early  prepayment at
the option of the  noteholder  on any date after  eight  months from the date of
issuance.  The  Company  has the option of paying all future  amounts due to the
former  Sunbelt  shareholders  in common stock of the Company.  The Company also
entered into employment agreements with the two former shareholders of Sunbelt.

      The  acquisition of Sunbelt was accounted for as a purchase.  The purchase
price,  subject to  adjustment as described  above and inclusive of  transaction
costs of approximately  $1.66 million,  exceeded the estimated fair market value
of net assets acquired by approximately $1.48 million,  which is being amortized
on a straight-line basis over 25 years. The allocation of the purchase price and
the determination of the estimated life of goodwill are preliminary.

      Sunbelt,  formerly  privately  held,  is a  distributor  of  microcomputer
products to dealers, value-added resellers and mass merchants throughout Western
Europe.   Sunbelt's  trading  operations  were  integrated  with  and  into  the
operations of European Micro Plc.  Sunbelt's  business of distributing  its Nova
brand  products  operates as a separate  business  entity  consistent  with past
practice. Sunbelt was established in 1992 and is based in Wimbledon, England.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 1998

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The directors  present their report and the  financial  statements  for the year
ended 30 June 1998.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND REVIEW OF THE BUSINESS

The  company's  principal  activity  continued  to be  that of  distribution  of
computer equipment.

The  directors  consider  the profit  achieved  on  ordinary  activities  before
taxation  to be  satisfactory  and they expect  continued  growth in the current
year.

RESULTS AND DIVIDENDS

The results for the year are set out on page 5.

The company has paid  dividends in the year amounting to  (pound)249,561  as set
out in note 10.

The directors recommend the following dividends for the year:

1. In respect of the `A' Preference Shares a final dividend of (pound)24.31p per
share making a total dividend of (pound)43,758 on all the `A' Preference shares.
The members  will please note that an interim  dividend of  (pound)25.0364p  per
share was voted by your  directors on 30th June 1998 resulting in the payment of
a dividend of  (pound)45,065.52.  Thus a repayment is due to your company by the
holder  of  these  shares  (Mr.  O'Rourke)  in the sum of  (pound)1,307.52.  Mr.
O'Rourke has agreed that this sum should be deducted from any future dividend in
respect of any `A' Preference shares or Ordinary Shares which is payable to him.

2. In respect of the ordinary shares a second interim dividend of (pound)37.153p
per share, making a total final dividend for the year of (pound)38.579p (made up
of a first interim  dividend of U.S.$2.315 voted by your directors on 29 January
1998 and the second interim  dividend of  (pound)37.153p  per share  recommended

AUDITORS

Windsor Stebbing Marsh were appointed  auditors to the company and in accordance
with Section 385 of the Companies Act 1985, a resolution  proposing that they be
re-appointed will be put to the Annual General Meeting.

DIRECTORS RESPONSIBILITIES

Company law requires  the  directors to prepare  financial  statements  for each
financial  year  which  give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the
company and of the profit or loss of the company for that  period.  In preparing
those financial statements, the directors are required to:

- -     select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

- -     make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

- -     prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is
      inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The  directors  are  responsible  for keeping  proper  accounting  records which
disclose  with  reasonable  accuracy at any time the  financial  position of the
company and to enable them to ensure that the financial  statements  comply with
the Companies Act 1985. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of
the  company  and hence for  taking  reasonable  steps  for the  prevention  and
detection of fraud and other irregularities.

This report was approved by the Board on 21 October 1998.

AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


We have  audited  the  financial  statements  on pages 5 to 15 which  have  been
prepared under the historical  cost  convention and the accounting  policies set
out on page 9.

RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND AUDITORS

As  described  on  page  3 the  company's  directors  are  responsible  for  the
preparation  of  financial  statements.  It is our  responsibility  to  form  an
independent  opinion,  based on our audit, on those statements and to report our
opinion to you.

BASIS OF OPINION

We conducted  our audit in  accordance  with  Auditing  Standards  issued by the
Auditing  Practices  Board. An audit includes  examination,  on a test basis, of
evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. It
also includes an assessment of the  significant  estimates and judgments made by
the directors in the preparation of the financial statements, and of whether the
accounting policies are appropriate to the company's circumstances, consistently
applied and adequately disclosed.

We  planned  and  performed  our audit so as to obtain all the  information  and
explanations  which  we  considered  necessary  in  order  to  provide  us  with
sufficient evidence to give reasonable  assurance that the financial  statements
are  free  from  material  misstatement,   whether  caused  by  fraud  or  other
irregularity  or error.  In forming  our opinion we also  evaluated  the overall
adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements.

OPINION

In our opinion the financial  statements  give a true and fair view of the state
of the company's  affairs as at 30 June 1998 and of its profit for the year then
ended and have been properly  prepared in accordance  with the provisions of the
Companies Act 1985.

    NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated  statements of
operations  presents the pro forma  consolidated  results of  operations  of the
Company as if the acquisition of Sunbelt  Limited and the financing  thereof had
occurred on July 1, 1997.  The pro forma  condensed  consolidated  statements of
operations  for the year  ended  June 30,  1998 and the six month  period  ended
December  31,  1998,  have  been  derived  form  the  historical  statements  of
operations of the Company and Sunbelt prior to the  acquisition.  The historical
statements of operations  have been  translated  from pounds sterling to dollars
using the rates of 1.6716 and 1.6644 for the twelve  months  ended June 30, 1998
and the six month ended December 31, 1998,  respectively.  These rates represent
the average exchange rates for the respective periods. The results of operations
of Sunbelt  subsequent to the  acquisition  have been included in the historical
statement of operations of the Company.  The actual  acquisition date of Sunbelt
was October 26, 1998.  The  acquisition  has been accounted for in the pro forma
condensed  consolidated  statement of  operations  using the purchase  method of
accounting.  The total  purchase  price has been  allocated  to the  assets  and
liabilities  acquired  based upon their  estimated  fair values on the effective
date  of  the  acquisition.  The  allocation  of  the  purchase  price  and  the
determination of the estimated life of goodwill are  preliminary.  The pro forma
data presented  herein do not purport to represent what the Company's  financial
results of operations  would have been had the  acquisition  in fact occurred on
July 1, 1997 nor to project the Company's  results of operations  for any future
period.

2.    PRO FORMA ACQUISITION ADJUSTMENTS

       (a) To record the  amortization  ($60,000  annually)  of  goodwill  ($1.5
million) arising as a result of applying purchase  accounting to the acquisition
over a 25 year estimated life, net of goodwill amortization  previously recorded
by the Company.

       (b) To record the interest expense related to the unpaid balance of the
guaranteed  consideration to be paid in connection with the acquisition,  net of
expense previously recorded by the Company.

       (c)  To  record   compensation   expense   related   to  the   contingent
consideration  in connection  with the  acquisition,  net of expense  previously
recorded by the Company.

       (d) To record  the effect of  reduction  in  interest  income due to cash
outlay for the acquisition.

       (e) To record the income tax effect of the pro forma adjustments; income
taxes are provided at a combined 33% rate, reflecting federal and state taxes at
the estimated statutory rates adjusted for nondeductible goodwill.
