Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of  Assets
         -------------------------------------

    
         Effective June 6, 1994, AmeriQuest Technologies, Inc. ("AQS") issued
1,130,000 shares of its Common Stock in exchange for 3.3 million shares (51
percent) of Kenfil Inc. ("Kenfil") Common Stock held by certain principal
shareholders of Kenfil in a first-stage exchange pursuant to AmeriQuest's two
phase acquisition of Van Nuys, California-based Kenfil.     

    
     On September 12, 1994, the shareholders of Kenfil and AQS approved the
proposed merger of "AmeriQuest/Kenfil Inc.," a wholly-owned subsidiary of AQS,
with and into Kenfil (the "Merger"). The Merger has since become effective, and
AQS is now the sole shareholder of AmeriQuest/Kenfil Inc.  In connection with
the Merger, AQS issued 1,046,252 shares of its Common Stock to the Kenfil
minority shareholders, 1,894,360 shares to the holders of Kenfil's subordinated
debt and 2,788,353 shares (of which 388,316 were issued prior to June 30, 1994)
to Kenfil's vendors.     

     Kenfil is a distributor of microcomputer software.  Its key vendors include
Corel, Broderbund, Symantec, Quarterdeck Office Systems and IBM.

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

     Effective September 22, 1994, ("AQS") issued 1,402,805 shares of its Common
Stock in exchange for 50.1 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of
Robec, Inc. ("Robec") Common Stock held by certain principal shareholders of
Robec in a first-stage exchange pursuant to AmeriQuest's two phase acquisition
of Robec.

     Subject to AmeriQuest and Robec stockholders' approvals, the remaining
shares of Robec Common Stock will be exchanged in a merger transaction (the
"Merger") at the same conversion ratio of 0.63075 shares of AmeriQuest for each
share of Robec common stock.  The Merger is expected to be completed in early
1995.

     Robec is a national value-added distributor of microcomputer systems,
peripherals and accessories.  Its key vendors include Acer, IBM, MultiTech,
Okidata, Unisys and Wyse.

(1)  Includes the acquisition of the remaining 49% of Kenfil and the conversion
     to Preferred and Common Stock of certain indebtedness.
    
(2)  The AQS historical balance sheet at June 30, 1994, includes the historical 
     balance sheets of Kenfil, Inc. Effective June 6, 1994, AQS acquired 51
     percent of the outstanding common stock of Kenfil. The remaining 49 percent
     of the outstanding Kenfil common stock was acquired on September 12,
     1994. Kenfil had an equity deficit at the date of acquisition, and
     therefore no amount representing minority interest is reflected in the
     historical AQS balance sheet.     
    
(3)  The Company valued its common stock issued in connection with its Kenfil 
     and Robec acquisitions at $1.75 per share. This valuation represents 
     management's best estimate of the fair value of the Company's common stock
     and is based upon prices obtained for large blocks of the Company's common
     stock in recently completed private equity placement transactions. This
     valuation represents a significant discount from quoted market prices due
     to the thin public trading volume and small public float of AmeriQuest
     common stock.

            FOOTNOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
    STATEMENTS OF AMERIQUEST TECHNOLOGIES, INC., KENFIL INC. AND ROBEC INC.

  The following footnotes reflect the assumptions made in the preparation of the
Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
    
 (A)  In conjunction with the purchase of Kenfil, AmeriQuest will issue
      1,894,360 additional shares of AmeriQuest Common Stock in satisfaction of
      certain Kenfil subordinated debt with a face amount of $8,203,729 but  
      which had been valued at $3,175,000 for purposes of the June 30, 1994 
      financial statements, plus accrued interest to the date of issuance.     
    
 (B)  In September 1994, AQS issued 1,046,254 shares of its Common Stock to
      acquire the remaining 49% of Kenfil Inc. The additional shares were valued
      at $1.75 per share and resulted in additional goodwill in the amount of
      $1,970,000. The Kenfil goodwill amount results from management's
      preliminary estimate of the fair value of Kenfil net assets acquired.
      Management is currently in the process of completing its detailed analysis
      of the fair value of Kenfil net assets acquired and therefore the related
      goodwill amount presented herein may change as a result of the completed
      analysis.    
    
 (C)  In conjunction with the purchase of Kenfil, the Company issued 2,400,037 
      additional shares (388,316 shares had been previously issued to vendors
      prior to June 30, 1994) of AmeriQuest Common Stock in satisfaction of
      certain Kenfil trade accounts payable, i.e. to Kenfil's vendors. Initially
      certain such shares were issued in part as AmeriQuest Common Stock and in
      principal part as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock pending an increase
      in the number of shares of Common Stock that AmeriQuest is authorized to
      issue. However, inasmuch as the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
      served only as a temporary capital alternative, it is reflected in the
      accompanying pro forma financial statements as Common Stock. AmeriQuest
      anticipates that up to an additional one million shares of AmeriQuest
      Common Stock may be issued to other Kenfil vendors, however, no certainty
      as to such possible issuance exists.    
   
 (D)  To effect the purchase of Robec, AmeriQuest will issue 1,402,805 shares of
      AmeriQuest Common Stock in exchange for 50.1% of the issued and 
      outstanding shares of Robec common stock. The AmeriQuest Common Stock is
      assumed to have a market value of $1.75 per share at the time of the
      transaction for a total purchase price of $2,455,000 and results in the 
      recording of approximately $1.2 million of goodwill. The Robec goodwill
      amount reflects management's preliminary estimate of the fair value of
      AmeriQuest's share of Robec net assets at acquisition. Management is
      currently in the process of completing its detailed analysis of the fair
      value of Robec net assets acquired and therefore the related goodwill
      amount presented herein may change as a result of the completed 
      analysis.     
    
 (E)  To record goodwill amortization over the estimated economic life of 10
      years.     
    
      Management believes that the most significant intangible acquired is that 
      of the distribution channels. Management has assigned a 10 year economic
      life to this intangible asset as that is the period of time that
      management expects to derive benefit from the existing vendor
      relationships and market position. Management determined that 10 years is
      an appropriate economic life based upon the historical length of the
      acquiree's vendor relationships and the overall size and quality of the
      vendors and their product offerings.    
    
 (F)  Savings of interest expense on the Kenfil subordinated debt retired
      through the issuance of Ameriquest Common Stock in (A) above, interest
      ranging from 9.5% to 13.91%.      
    
 (G)  The restructuring charge of $5,700,000 included in AmeriQuest's historical
      statement of operations relates principally to the write-off of certain
      former personal computer joint venture operations. The restructuring
      charge and earthquake loss of $3,430,000 included in Kenfil's historical
      financials included charges of $2,821,000 for losses sustained in the
      Southern California earthquake and restructuring charges of $609,000
      relating to severance costs and lease termination costs.      

      Such restructuring charges, although non-recurring in nature, have been
      included in the proforma condensed combined statement of operations in
      conformity with Article 11 of Regulations S-X of the Securities and
      Exchange Commission.
    
 (H)  To record minority interest associated with the 49.9 percent of Robec 
      common stock shares not owned by AmeriQuest. The minority interest balance
      is based upon the historical cost of Robec's net assets adjusted for the
      receivable and inventory adjustments discussed in note (I).      
    
 (I)  To adjust Robec receivables and inventory to their estimated net
      realizable values based upon AmeriQuest's preliminary analysis of the fair
      value of Robec's net assets acquired. (See note D)     

 (J)  To eliminate the historical equity of Robec.

 (K)  On July 8, 1994, AmeriQuest reacquired 345,091 shares of its Common Stock
      from Mr. James D'Jen, a former officer and director of AmeriQuest, as down
      payment on an obligation of Mr. D'Jen to exchange 350,000 shares of
      AmeriQuest Common Stock, in exchange for all (100%) of the common stock of
      AmeriQuest's Singapore subsidiary, CMS Enhancements (S) PTE Ltd. The
      Singapore subsidiary is a distributor of commodity disk drives. Sales for
      this Singapore subsidiary approximate $20 million annually, with an
      approximate breakeven in operating results. Upon the receipt of the
      balance of the shares due from Mr. D'Jen, AmeriQuest will be divested of
      its Singapore subsidiary.      
     
 (L)  Effective December, 1993, AQS acquired certain assets and assumed certain 
      liabilities of Management Systems Group and acquired the outstanding
      common stock of Rhino Sales Company. Assuming these acquisitions were
      reflected in the accompanying pro forma statement of operations as being
      effective July 1, 1993, the impact would be to increase revenues
      approximately $20 million, with no effect on net income.
