NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1994
1) MANAGEMENT OPINION
In the opinion of management, the consolidated condensed financial
statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results
of operations as of and for the periods presented.
2) EARNING PER SHARE
Primary earnings per common share and common share equivalent were computed
by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the quarter. Common
stock equivalents include the number of common shares issuable on exercise
of the outstanding warrants and stock options less the number of shares
that could have been purchased with the proceeds from the exercise of such
warrants or options based on the average price of the Company's common
stock during the quarter. Fully diluted earnings per common share was
immaterial. Common stock equivalents that increase earnings per share or
decrease loss per share were excluded from the computation.
3) ACQUISITIONS
The Company is pursuing a growth through acquisition strategy of acquiring
regional distributors with the ultimate goal of creating a national
distributor of value added computers, subsystems and peripherals.
The success of this strategy is dependent upon the ability of the Company
to effectively consolidate and integrate the operations of the acquired
businesses, combine different business cultures and obtain adequate
financing to complete acquisitions and fund working capital requirements.
Since 1993, the acquisitions of the Company have included:
COMPLETED BY JUNE 30, 1993
Vitronix, Inc. ("Vitronix")
As of March 1993, the Company acquired certain assets of Vitronix for

</TABLE>
The acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method and,
accordingly, the financial statements include the results of their operations
from the effective acquisition dates. As to common stock consideration, all
such acquisitions are reflected utilizing a per share valuation representing
a discounted quoted market price, based upon weighted average discounts
received on recently completed private equity cash transactions. This
valuation represents management's best estimate of the fair value of the
Company's common stock. 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.
The contingent consideration granted to certain of the former owners of the
acquired businesses is dependent upon the attainment of certain defined
profit objectives of the acquired companies and consists of the right to
acquire common stock of the Company at previously agreed upon prices,
additional cash consideration or the issuance of additional common stock.
Additional contingent consideration earned in connection with the attainment
of the profit objectives, if any, will be reflected as an increase in the
excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired. As to the
specific acquisitions of the Company, such potential contingent common stock
and cash consideration is less than $400,000 in the aggregate and is limited
to the MSG and Rhino acquisitions.
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 form 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 acquiree's vendors and their product
offerings.
The purchase price allocations associated with the Kenfil and Robec
acquisitions are based upon the Company's preliminary estimates of the fair
value of net assets acquired. The Company is currently in the process of
completing its detailed analysis of the fair value of Kenfil and Robec net
assets acquired and therefore the related intangible assets included in the
accompanying financial statements may change as a result of the completed
analysis.
The pro forma effects of the Kenfil, Robec and NCD acquisitions as if they
occurred at the beginning of each period follow (dollars in thousands
except per share data):

</TABLE>
The pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and
are not necessarily indicative of the actual results of operations had the
acquisitions taken place at the beginning of the indicated period or the
results that may occur in the future. Furthermore, the pro forma results do
not give effect to cost savings which may occur as a result of the
consolidation of the acquired companies.
During the three month period ended September 30, 1994, intangibles increased
approximately $5.3 million. This increase primarily relates to the Company's
acquisition of the remaining 49 percent of Kenfil.
4) COMMON STOCK
Common stock issued to unrelated parties during the quarter ended September
30, 1994 consisted of 532,000 common shares issued to Computer 2000 AG, a
publicly traded German company, for cash proceeds of $1,330,000.
11
<PAGE>
In November 1994 the Company entered into an agreement to sell a controlling
interest, 51%, of it's common stock to Computer 2000. The aggregate proceeds
of $50 million are scheduled for receipt by the Company in late 1994 as to
$18 million and in September 1995 as to the remaining $32 million. Such
proceeds, when coupled with the existing cash and credit resources of the
Company, should allow for reasonable continued expansion of the operations of
the Company.
5) RESTATEMENT
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for
the first quarter ended September 30, 1994, have been restated to reflect
certain duplicate operating costs associated with the recent KENFIL
acquisition as operating expenses of the Company, rather than purchase
accounting adjustments. The effect of the restatement is to increase selling,
general and administrative expenses by $700,000 and increase the loss from
operations and the net loss by this same amount. The net loss per share
increased from ($0.04) to ($0.10) as a result of this restatement.
The restatement resulted from management's continued review of its purchase
accounting policies regarding the KENFIL acquisition and the determination
that certain costs required to integrate the KENFIL business did not meet the
APB number 16 criteria for purchase accounting.
The Company modified its method to determine the fair value of its common
stock issued in connection with recent acquisitions and related transactions.
The Company's valuations are based on a discounted quoted market price based
upon a weighted average of discounts received in recently completed private
equity cash transactions. The Company's condensed consolidated financial
statements included herein have been restated for this change. The effect of
this restatement is to increase total assets by $2,114,000 and stockholders'
equity by $492,000 at September 30, 1994.

AmeriQuest is following a business strategy of growth by acquisition, consistent
with the consolidation that is occurring in the maturing personal computer
marketplace. This strategy creates the following risks involving the ability to
successfully:
. Consolidate the operations of previously unaffiliated businesses, some of
which were unprofitable
. Combine the business cultures of diverse operations
. Obtain adequate capital resources to complete acquisitions and working capital
required for continuing operations
The following reflects the net changes in each specified account as regards the
implementation of the business strategy of the Company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the three months ended September 30, 1994, net sales increased appreciably
as contrasted to the same period in the prior year due to the operational
activities resulting from the acquisition of MSG, Rhino, Kenfil and Robec, which
were not owned and thus not included in the operations of the Company at
September 30, 1993.
An aggregate warranty and returns reserve of approximately $1 million is
reflected in the balance sheet of AmeriQuest at September 30, 1994. Inasmuch as
the Company began its distribution operations in December 1993, the effect of
market development funds received through September 30, 1994 was not
significant.
Costs of sales as a percentage of net sales increased significantly for the
three months ended September 30, 1994, when compared to the same period one year
ago principally since the operations of the acquired businesses are distribution
oriented with lower margins than those achieved by the value added storage
operations in which the Company was engaged in 1993 and which operations
continue but represents a much lower portion of consolidated operations.
Selling, general and administrative costs as a percentage of net sales decreased
for the three months ended September 30, 1994 when compared to the same period
one year ago, principally because the acquired operations of the Company require
less selling and administrative support than the operations in place a year ago.
Interest expense increased substantially for the three months ended September
30, 1994, when compared to the same period one year earlier, reflecting the
increased financing associated with the acquired operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
To date, the Company has generated cash to meet its needs from operations, sales
of common stock and bank borrowings. At September 30, 1994, the Company had
$1.4 million in cash, and had borrowed approximately $43.2 million against its
existing lines of credit. The Company's continued product distribution emphasis
and proposed expansion will require substantial additional capital resources.
At September 30, 1994, AmeriQuest has working capital lines of credit of over
$50 million, including a $20 million facility extended to Robec, Inc.
Borrowings under these facilities bear interest at from 1 to 3 percent over the
prime rate and are limited to specified percentages of AmeriQuest's eligible
accounts receivable (a borrowing base in excess of $20 million) and inventories
(a borrowing base of over $20 million).
The management of the Company expects to implement a cost reduction and
efficiency program for its core distribution operations during fiscal year 1995
in an effort to eliminate the continuing impact of those attributes which
created the cash loss from operations of $8.4 million realized in 1994. This
program will focus on centralized administrative operations, product procurement
efficiencies and a continuing cost/benefit analysis of resource allocation. No
material commitments are in place as to required capital expenditures at
September 30, 1994.
14
<PAGE>
As AmeriQuest introduced products which carry higher gross margins than do the
commodity products which historically accounted for much of AmeriQuest's
revenues, available working capital was invested in higher levels of inventories
in fiscal year 1994 and 1995.
Inventory and receivables increased during the period due to the Robec and NCD
acquisitions. Acquired inventory and receivables were recorded at their
estimated fair market value. Inventory reserves decreased during the period due
to the liquidation of aged inventory. Inventory reserves are summarized
below:

In November 1994 the Company entered into an agreement to sell a controlling
interest, 51%, of it's common stock to Computer 2000 AG, a publicly held German
company in the same line of business. The aggregate proceeds of $50 million are
scheduled for receipt by the Company in late 1994 as to $18 million and in
September 1995 as to the remaining $32 million. The $32 million investment is
contingent upon a number of conditions, including AmeriQuest's meeting certain
monthly and cumulative after-tax operating profitability conditions during the
first half of calendar 1995. If AmeriQuest does not meet these profitability
conditions, Computer 2000 will have the option to make the $32 million
investment. Such proceeds, when coupled with the existing cash and credit
resources of the Company, should allow for reasonable continued expansion of the
operations of the Company.
Management believes that its existing product lines will enable AmeriQuest to
generate sufficient cash through operations, supplemented by the periodic use of
its lines of credit, to finance a continuation of AmeriQuest's existing business
over the next twelve months. However, as AmeriQuest continues planned
acquisitions, significant cash resources will be required to effect this effort.
There is no assurance that required funds for planned acquisitions will be
available, or that sufficient funds can either be obtained or if available, that
such funds can be secured at commercially acceptable rates of costs.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
------------------
AmeriQuest is both a plaintiff and defendant from time-to-time in
lawsuits incidental to its business. The management of AmeriQuest
believes that none of such current proceedings individually or in the
aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on AMERIQUEST. While
not expected to be of material effect to the Company, Kenfil Inc. vs.
---------------
RLI Insurance Company, Superior Court of the State of California,
----------------------
County of Los Angeles, No. BC 108564 filed July 12, 1994, involves
litigation instituted by Kenfil Inc. to recover additional monies for
the damage it incurred in the Northridge earthquake of January 17,
1994. The defendant cross-claimed on August 12, 1994 for return of
the $840,000 it had paid on claims submitted by Kenfil Inc., based
on affidavits from former Kenfil employees alleging that they had
been instructed following the earthquake to intentionally destroy
additional inventory. The defendant's theory is that it is not
obligated to even cover that portion of the damage cause by the
earthquake because of the possible fraud involved with such actions;
while the management of Kenfil maintains that only that portion of
damages actually incurred by the earthquake were submitted as claimed
losses. There exists a question of fact as to whether the actions of
Kenfil's employees were instigated by upper-level management and a
question of law as to whether the lower-level managers of Kenfil are
able to take ultra vires actions which can be attributed to Kenfil.
The testimony to date appears fragmented and uncorroborated, such that
a close examination of the evidence deduced to date reveals no clear
evidence that would allow one to conclude that the defendant was in
any way defrauded. Additionally, it appears that the defendant
insurance company failed to terminate the contract upon discovery of
the alleged "fraud," and merely chose to not renew the contract upon
its expiration. Although there are pictures available to prove the
actual damage immediately following the earthquake, no assurance can
be given that the defendant will not ultimately prevail. The ability
of Kenfil Inc. to satisfy any possible future judgement is dependent
on the results of its future operations. However, such a judgement
would not directly impact the other subsidiaries of AmeriQuest nor
AmeriQuest itself.
