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

         Effective June 6, 1994, AmeriQuest Technologies, Inc. ("AQS") issued
1.1 million 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 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.

            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 in the amount of $3,175,000.

 (B)  In September 1994, AQS issued 1,046,252 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
      $1,920,000.

 (C)  In conjunction with the purchase of Kenfil, the Company issued 2,788,353
      additional shares 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. This purchase
      price, after providing additional inventory and receivable reserves
      equalled the fair value of the net assets acquired. Such shares are
      reflected in the accompanying pro forma financial statements as Common
      Stock. No assurance can be given that the number of shares to be issued to
      the Robec shareholders will not be greater number than that reflected
      herein, as the exact number of shares is subject to adjustment based on
      the market value of AmeriQuest Common Stock on the day preceeding the
      closing.

 (E)  To record goodwill amortization over a 10 year life.

 (F)  Savings of interest expense on notes payable and long-term 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 $484,000
      relating to severance costs and lease termination costs. 
      

                                       5

      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)  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.

 (I)  During fiscal year 1994 AmeriQuest acquired two companies, the impact of
      which would be approximately $20 million in revenues for the nine months
      not reflected in historical results, with an approximate breakeven in
      operating results.
