ITEM 2.   ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
          ------------------------------------

     Effective October 3, 1995, Photocomm, Inc. ("Photocomm" or
the "Company") acquired all of the assets and assumed the related
liabilities of Sunelco, Inc. ("Sunelco"), a distributor of solar
electric products located in Hamilton, Montana (the
"Acquisition"). The Acquisition was consummated in accordance
with the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization between
Photocomm, Sunelco, and Daniel M. and Rebecca M. Brandborg, the
founders and sole shareholders of Sunelco (collectively,
"Brandborgs") dated as of October 3, 1995 (the "Agreement").

     The aggregate consideration paid by Photocomm in connection
with the Acquisition was approximately $850,000.  The Company
issued 225,000 shares of Photocomm's Common Stock, $0.10 par
value, valued at $400,000 and assumed liabilities of Sunelco of
approximately $450,000.

     The aggregate consideration paid in the Acquisition was
determined through arm's length negotiations between representatives 
of Photocomm and Sunelco.  Neither Photocomm nor, to the knowledge
of Photocomm, any affiliate, director or officer of Photocomm, or
any associate of any director or officer of Photocomm, had any
material relationship with Sunelco prior to the Acquisition.

     The assets purchased principally consist of certain
inventories and other assets valued by the parties at
approximately $450,000; and goodwill and intangible assets valued
by the parties at $400,000. Following the acquisition, Photocomm
intends to continue using the assets purchased for substantially
the same purposes as they were used before the Acquisition.

     In connection with the Acquisition, the Brandborgs entered into
Covenants Not to Compete with the Company pursuant to which
the Company will make monthly payments in a total aggregate
amount of $250,000 over the next five years.  Sunelco will become
a division of Photocomm, will continue to conduct business as
usual with its present staff, and the Brandborgs will continue to
direct division operations as Photocomm management employees.
